We were fortunate enough to experience two different resorts during our week-long visit to Langkawi.  Langkawi is made up of a cluster of 99 islands, which are all part of the UNESCO World Geopark as of 2007.  The first few nights we were at the Meritus Pelangi and our last few nights we had the pleasure of experiencing something a bit different.  We stayed at the Berjaya Langkawi Resort in a rainforest!  Who wouldn’t want to stay in a tropical rainforest right?

Luxury In Langkawi – Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa

As we have spent the past several months exploring Southeast Asia, we kept hearing people mention how beautiful it was in Langkawi, Malaysia.  If at all possible, we were going to try to make it to this island to test it out on our own.  After spending over a month in Southern Thailand it was time to make our move to Malaysia.

I originally planned to take the ferry from Phuket, Thailand to Langkawi, Malaysia.  After some thought, I realized the family just wasn’t going to be up for a full day on the ferry and we found extremely inexpensive flights from Krabi to Penang.  A new plan was hatched based on the deals we found.  I know you are wondering, “So how did you get to Langkawi?”

No matter where we travel, we usually wind up doing some driving.  Heidi and I have the whole driving thing down to a science.  I’m usually the driver, and she’s the navigator.  We rarely get lost, and when we do, it’s more of a “controlled lost“.  And even when we get really lost, it’s not all that stressful.  Unless it’s late.  Or we’re all hungry.  Or tired.

The Wagoners Abroad explain what driving in Thailand is really like. Check out the post, and get two MAJOR tips for driving on the left side of the road. Read more on WagonersAbroad.com

When planning our year of nomadic life in Southeast Asia, we knew we would want a couple of locations to stop for a few months.  At least we know our limits and style of travel and realize that we don’t do well when we move fast or nonstop. We preselected 2 locations to spend 3-4 months each, Chiang Mai, Thailand and Penang, Malaysia.  We selected these locations based on loads of research as well as reading about the experiences of many other travelers.  Most of which weren’t family travelers, so that left a little to our imagination.  This should help the family travelers!
