The island of Langkawi has been mentioned in history by many travellers. It was initially occupated by seafarers. Legend says that in the 18th century, a woman named Mahsuri was wrongfully accused and sentenced to death. Because it was not her fault, she cursed the island before she died, saying that her curse would last for seven whole generations. Langkawi was indeed attacked by the Siamese, after that. It was also later captured by the British. After all of that, Langkawi was nothing more than a quiet and scenic spot. But in 1986, when the then Prime Minister saw its potential, he decided to turn it into a tourist resort and area.
Langkawi has quite a good nightlife. Its bars and pubs are frequented by couples and groups of friends, as well as those travelling solo. When here, visit Little Lylias, the beach bar, naam OMG!, a sports bar, Bam-Boo-Baa, which is an open-air lounge and Lepak Bistro, which has air conditioning and even board games!
At Langkawi, you will find one hundred per cent authentic Malay cuisine. Fresh seafood like lobsters, king prawns, squids, etc are also very famous. You will find no dearth of restaurants here, most of them also offering international cuisine options.
