Langkawi 2016 | part II : affordable accomodation in Pantai Cenang






    the two places that I stayed in Langkawi were located a walking distance away
    from Langkawi Underwater World in Pantai Cenang , Langkawi

    the first day in Langkawi , me and my hiking mates stayed at Nor Villa  ,
    a homestay a walking distance away to the left side of Underwaterworld Langkawi.
    the villa is a bit hidden from passer-by's sight  , as the small shops in front of it
    blocks the view to the actual size of the villa.
   
    a decent-sized homestay , can easily fit 10-15 pax



  

    the 3rd day in Langkawi , I had to look for room for myself to stay in Pantai Cenang
    as most of my hiking mates only planned to stay in Langkawi for 2 days.

    the small lane just opposite to Underwaterworld Langkawi that leads to my
    second place of stay in Langkawi
 
    managed to find a room for myself at 8-Doors Inn.




    a small room , but decent enough for solo backpackers looking for a cheap room
    with attached bathroom , WiFi and at the same time concerns about safety and 
    wants to avoid dormitory-oriented stay.

   Nor Villa Homestay
   - fits 10-15 pax
   - RM400-500 per night 
   - Pak Hassan Nor Viila : 0111 506 7822 / 0111 893 3952

8-Doors Inn
- a choice of single / double room with WiFi , air conditioned , attached bathroom
- ideal for solo backpacker / 2-3 pax on a tight budget
- RM60 per night for single room

    Pantai Cenang

    crowded beach with a variety of beach activities
















    but our main intention of visiting Langkawi this time is not because of the beach ,
    but to climb the moutain there.
    Mount Mat Cincang







    Dinner at Haji Ramli restaurant.
    the food is fairly OK , not that great , ranging from Malay to Thai meals.
    fried rice ranging from RM6-9 .
   
    the famous Orkid Ria Chinese restaurant



    everything is expensive in Cenang.
    even this this mud crab @ ketam nipah costs RM 13 per 100g ,
    which is 3-4 times more expensive than in my hometown Sungai Petani








    Cenang beach also offers a lot of Arabian  / Turkish delicacies





    cheapest lobster meal i could find was this cheese baked lobster with rice
    costs RM90 per meal.
    I was born in an average family , and never had 'rich' food like this before.
