Langkawi
Forested hills, white sandy beaches and crystal clear water awaits visitors to the tropical island of Langkawi, the largest of about 100 islands in the Langkawi archipelago. The Langkawi Archipelago, with it's ancient stone formations and associated myths is also known as the "island of legends", rises from the idyllic Andaman Sea.
Langkawi located north of the Strait of Malacca in the southern Andaman Sea, near the border of Malaysia and Thailand.
Incidentally, Langkawi is duty-free trade zone - a paradise for tax free purchases. For those who like sightseeing trips or just to stretch their sea legs, the visit to a crocodile farm, snake farm, art museum and a national museum or climbing a waterfall and much more is waiting to be explored.
The absolute must see in Langkawi is the newly opened cable car.
Tarutao National Park
The 51 islands of the Koh Tarutao Marine National Park lie in the Andaman Sea,
20-70 km west of the mainland. Adang Island, with a steep and rugged landscape almost completely covered by tropical rainforest, may be the most wild and appealing of the islands. Sparkling clear water and superb coral reefs provide habitat for a wide variety of marine life. The area of Koh Adang, Koh Rawi contains many coral reefs of high species diversity. It is estimated that the park contains about 25% of the world's fish families. Some of the more important include members of the shark, ray, grouper, eel, carp, catfish, salmon, flying perch, angelfish and butterfly fish families. With some luck also dugong and dolphin can be spotted in the park. The small idyllic island of Ko Lipe, part of the Tarutao National Park, is still inhabited by Sea Gypsies and due to the fact that there is no easy access by road has largely remained in it's natural state far away from mass tourism Phuket's. In the last couple of years a few resort facilities opened and it can now be compared to the famous Phi Phi Islands but 10 years ago.
