Cenang Beach, Langkawi

Mr. A took his family to Langkawi Island for a quick vacation over the weekend. Off course Myvi stays home. Long distance driving in a small car packed with family and luggage from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Perlis is possible, but may not be as pleasant as taking a 55 minutes direct flight.
Quite the contrary, Mr. A did not rent a car this time. Usually that would be the first thing to do when arriving here. They took a taxi ride from the airport straight to Cenang beach, cost $18.
No time wasted, check-in to motel, then sun sea and sand till sunset.

Accomodation was at this AB Motel, one of the many affordable accomodations available at Cenang beach stretch.

For $120 a night, Mr. A got a room 10 steps away from beach, spacious room with two double beds, clean toilet with hot shower. That's all that matters.

And a white domestic short hair came together with the room.

The kids named the cat 'triki' and triki was there all the time throughout the weekend.

Triki providing good companionship outside the room.

Along the road stretch of Cenang beach, there's plenty of food outlets and shops. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is just a stroll away from the motel.

Convenient shops open till late night.

Food outlets selling kebab, pizza, pasta, thai food, local food are plentiful.

While strolling along the Cenang beach road, Mr. A stumbled upon this nice looking accomodation. It's called The Cabin Langkawi. Not exactly located next to the beach, but close enough. The exterior compounds outside the cabin looks very nice too. Perhaps next time Mr. A will try this place.

Strolling along the sidewalk, Mr. A spotted some nice looking cars being driven or parked by the roadside. Some are probably owned by tour agents and available for rental to visitors. For MPVs, the Mitsubishi Grandis seems very popular, and for small cars Mr. A spotted quite a number of the new phase Kia Picanto. Not that many Myvi or Viva on the Island though, at least not on that Cenang Beach road stretch on that particular weekend.
