Langawi!
Ok first of all, I have put Other in the Activity category as it does not include mindless drinking of duty free alcohol! :)
Ok, so. I am not actually on Langawi now, so I am going to write up on my experiences that I had on this Island.
Firstly, this was the first time on my travels so far that I decided to just turn up somewhere without accomodation. I ended up getting a 3hr ferry from Penang to Langawi. Arriving at the ferry terminal, I got myself about a half hour taxi tourney to a beach area called Pentang Changawi.
Anyways, I ended up at this place called Shirwins Guesthouse. It was ok, got a cheap room, and I got a complimentory beer. Although it was run by some crazy scenile ex Iranian pilot, who spent most of his day walking around asking If everyone is ok, mumbling to himself and drinking Skol beer.
But annnywwwayy, I stayed here for a couple of days, before going to another guesthouse where I met up with another backpacker. She was really nice and we had a good time,we ended up renting a bike, renting a car, spending lots of time on the beach, spending lots of time drinking cocktails and beer. Followed by more cocktails and beer. I also spent lots of time getting stung by little jellyfish, i f***ing hate the little b******s!
But anyway, to sum up Langawi, its a great island, not too touristy, absolutely brill if your an alchoholic, and has the best beaches I have ever seen!
Check back in a couple of days for my 'sober' adventures on the Thai island of Koh Pang Nang, the mecca of all beach partiers seeking the world renouned 'Full Moon Party'
Cheers!
