Langkawi island

So far we've never spent more then three nights in one and the same place (if not counting Vang Vieng we're we stayed four - only because we were to hangover to move). But we're now on our fourth day in Langkawi and do not intend to leave for yet a few days. It's so beautiful here, unbelievable.

The beach is just five minutes walk away, the sand is white, the water is turquoise, the beer is cheap and the food is amazing - what else can you ask for? So far we've spent all days just relaxing on the beach from morning till late with just a few breaks for food and ice cream, we are definitely not complaining.

One thing that stroke us both by surprise is the amount of Swedes here, we are everywhere! In every bar you go to you'll find a Swedish girl behind the bar, on the beach you're surrounded by Swedish speaking people, in the book shops you'll find books in Bahasa Malay, English and Swedish and I guess about half the rooms on our guesthouse is occupied by Swedes.

- is there even anybody left in Sweden?

On Thursday we're leaving for Phuket in Thailand to meet up with my friend Elin and her cousin that are just in the beginning of their South East Asia-trip, it's going to be awesome!

If anybody have been to Phuket or Phi Phi islands before and has any  good tips to share - please feel free!

  1. Jag är i alla fall kvar i Sverige, men hade jag fått välja hade jag hellre suttit i en bar på Langkawi:) / Thomas

  2. Jag är också kvar i ett ruggigt, fuktigt och grått land! Dessutom har jag inga tips om Phuket eller PhiPhi - har aldrig varit där heller. Borde man planera in en Asien-luff i sitt liv?

  3. Skönt att ni hinner ta det lugnt! Och få känna hemlandstoner, eller åtminstone höra dessa. Usch jag börjar faktiskt bli lite avundsjuk.
