THE PURSUIT OF A DREAM
By Kamila Delart
Review see here
Always in search of new spa and wellness services launched on our beautiful island, I am excited to explore the treatment offerings of CACI’S BEAUTY AND WELLNESS, a center that recently opened in Kuah. I read through the menu and it is like unwrapping a birthday present. Eyebrow threading? I’m on cloud nine! Much faster than plucking, and way more precise than waxing, this ancient Indian hair removal technique is my absolute favorite. Since CACI’S BEAUTY AND WELLNESS is the only place on the entire island offering this service, I hurry up to make an appointment before the word spreads, and I end up queuing…
WIDE SPREAD WINGS
By Kamila Delart
Since I arrived in Langkawi, my days begin with a beautiful ritual: Still a little sleepy, I sit on my back porch, sip delicious green tea with a few drops of local wild honey, and watch all these beautiful exotic birds twirling around. There are the tiny yellow fellows joyfully singing as they jump from branch to branch. The black one with his far too long wings that look as if they were borrowed from some grown-up brother. And when I’m lucky, I spot this beautiful turquoise bird with orange belly crossing my river. What a wonderful way to greet the day!

What’s new at the Oriental Village
by Zam
Langkawi’s new attraction is the Duck Tour which started operations with its soft launch last November 2011.
The 'Duck' has wheels for starters, big wheels and it keeps on going no matter what the terrain. The trip starts at the Oriental Village where the cable car departs from and trundles down to a ramp at Telaga harbour 2 Kilometers from the cable car. It then plunges into the water, takes a 15 minute tour of the marina and the boats at anchor outside and then trundles back up to the cable car. It gives the passengers the exhilaration of both land and sea. The total tour duration is 45 minutes.
The Duck Tours are located at the Ticketing Kiosk at the Oriental Village Main Entrance. They operate daily from 9.30 am till 5.30 pm depending on the weather.
The rates for adults is RM38.00 and children pay RM22.00.

From humble beginnings to one of the most popular places in Langkawi! Faded newspaper clippings tell the story of a tiny home-eatery in Kuah . . .
The following Blog Article, written by Paul Penders after a Beach Cleaning action with Captain Eva, reflects upon some Basics which are very important for our Island .
Small Habits That Create A Better World
Compare a happy R&D of a small natural cosmetics company with a happy gathering of local youngsters. The R&D play in our labs and local children play on our land and all of them enjoy astonishing sea views. One party is protected from the hot sun under a roof; the other uses the shadow of a palm tree. Yet all feel happy but under a different circumstance. What is this story about?

Royal Langkawi
International Regatta –
Day 5
The elements came out to play on the final day of the 2012 Royal Langkawi International Regatta.
Good breeze, relatively flat seas and blue skies gave everyone a taste of tropical racing, Langkawi-style.
Two races were schedules for IRC Racing, IRC 2 and Multihulls, three for IRC 1 and one for the rest.
Going into the final day, the hotly-contested one-design Sports Boat Class was all equal at the top between Singapore Management University and the Malaysian Armed Forces.
First off the line today were IRC Racing. Team HiFi closely covered Hooligan up the first leg and after the rounding, Hooligan stretched out a lead on the spinnaker run only for Team HiFi to take the win on corrected time.
In the second race, Hooligan showed some good crew work to take the bullet and the series title, from Team HiFi in second.
The Malaysian Navy team, Uranus, turned in two third places today to finish third overall........

VOWS OVER THE OCEAN

I’m not sure about guys. But every girl indulges from time to time in day dreaming. Envisioning a romantic proposal, picturing a fairytale wedding. The fantasies may vary, but exchanging vows that join two people for life certainly calls for a spectacular setting. So I am not surprised to learn that Audrey and Jérôme, an adorable French couple, chose to celebrate their wedding on the luxury Yacht DAMAI INDAH LAGI, planning to say ‘I do’ in the breathtaking sunset over the Andaman Sea.
Royal Langkawi
International Regatta -
Day 4
Today was make or break for many at the 2012 Royal Langkawi International Regatta, as the Coastal Course Area was the battleground for what could be the series-deciders in some classes.
This showed as today, Friday 13th, saw plenty of startline action and OCS in a number of classes.
In the IRC Racing Class Hooligan started the day with a commanding lead, and a strong performance today meant they could wrap up the series one day early.
Windward-Leewards saw some tight battles as nearest rival, Team HiFi, pushed Hooligan hard. A tactical duel saw Hooligan finish first and second, and Team HiFi second and first.
At the other end of the class, the two closely matched Malaysian Navy entries, sailing identical DK47s, saw Uranus come out on top with a third and a fourth today.
Tactics have played a big part over the first four days as wind conditions have varied from 4 knots gusting to over 20, with a mix courses including Windward-Leewards, coastal courses and yesterday’s ‘Round-The-Islands’ course............

Royal Langkawi International Regatta –
Day 3
Langkawi was on full show today as all classes lined up for the ‘Round-the-Islands’ course.
The stunning archipelago, with it’s idyllic coves and beaches, provided a magnificent back-drop for competitors who today were treated to a true taste of sailing in the tropics.The fleet was split in half, each racing a slightly different course around the archipelago.
The Ocean Rover and Club Classes came into their own today as these more cruising-style boats enjoyed the longer scenic course and the chance to stretch their legs.
A downwind spinnaker-start was set. As boats beared down on the line it was a case of ‘do we or don’t we’ for some, and ‘when to hoist’ for others, as a series of combined starts proved interesting all round.
In the Multihulls, Fantasia got a flyer off the startline and left the rest of the fleet standing. She continued over the horizon to take line honours and first place.
Andaman Cabriolet Nina, enjoyed the stronger winds and lumpy seas to put in a good performance and secure second....

The longer I live on the island, the more curious I get about the nature around. There is the obvious beauty: the lush jungle, tropical plants, colorful birds… And there are the famous places of interest.
But once you scratch the surface, you want to go deeper. Explore places off the tourist tracks, understand the mystery of the mangroves, learn about the fascinating cycle of death and rebirth of a cicada that spends his short life singing a love song…
And so I book an adventure trip with JUNGLEWALLA TOURS.

Enjoying a dreamlike view of the Andaman Sea while sipping a cocktail in a beach bar, I watch the white sails against a crimson sunset, swelling up with wind, carrying fairytale boats towards the orizon. And suddenly I realize that despite having spent nearly a year on this beautiful island, I never really took the time to explore the magical archipelago.
The minute I arrive home, I turn on the computer to book a cruise. Having worked quite a lot lately, I find I deserve a real treat. :-) So when I come across DAMAI INDAH CRUISES, there is no need to look any further. Luxury and style? Just what I need!

THAILANDPRIVAT.COM
We do normally only report about Langkawi here, but for once let us make an exception:
If you want to travel to Thailand, and do speak German - have a look at this website here:
It is a website about Thailand and it's hidden treasures - not known by the mainstream tourisme.
The author, Paul Martini, lives since 2001 mostly in Hua Hin in Thailand. His reports about these special places beside the main roads are very thoroughly researched and do go in great depth. They all include a lot of pictures (which one can also see in a bigger size in a PICASA site).
Don't let you turn off by some of the google ads - nothing is perfect. This website is nevertheless a true treasure in itself and deserves to be named.

THE MAGIC OF THE KILIM RIVER
by Kamila Delart
Eager to explore the natural beauty of the island, I spent some time researching the available tours to finally choose a Mangrove Kayak Trip with DEV’S ADVENTURE TOURS: an eco-friendly expedition in tune with nature, omitting the gimmicky and irresponsible feeding of eagles or monkeys. As I never kayaked before, I am glad that I will be provided with proper instructions. And although the kayaks are very stable, the fact that life jackets are compulsory puts me at ease.

Dear Malaysians and ex-pats of Langkawi
and to the rest of this world . . .
Some of you surely know me, I am Eva, skipper of the Damai Indah, Blue Water Star Sailing.
I am writing to you, to inform you about my new project here in Langkawi.
A few months ago I established a company called REVITACURA.
My website will be up and running again within a few days.
Now I am pretty sure that you are aware of the problem of overweight and obesity here on the island. (This is an almost worldwide epidemic, a dramatically increasing serious medical situation that is very scary, if you ask me).
The aim of REVITACURA is to help young overweight and obese people on Langkawi to overcome their condition.
