Langkawi, officially known as Langkawi the Jewel of Kedah (Malay: Langkawi Permata Kedah) is an archipelago of 104 islands in the Andaman Sea, some 30 km off the mainland coast of northwestern Malaysia. The islands are a part of the state of Kedah, which is adjacent to the Thai border. On 15 July 2008, Sultan Abdul Halim of Kedah had consented to the change of name to Langkawi Permata Kedah in conjunction with his Golden Jubilee Celebration. By far the largest of the islands is the eponymous Langkawi Island with a population of some 64,792, the only other inhabited island being nearby Tuba Island. Langkawi is also an administrative district with the town of Kuah as largest town. Langkawi is a duty-free island.
The name Langkawi is thought to have existed by the early 15th century, although in the 16th century the island of Langkawi was also marked on maps variously as Langa, Langka, Lansura, and Langapura.
There are many suggestions for the origin of the name of Langkawi. According to one interpretation, Langkawi means island of the reddish-brown eagle in colloquial Malay. The Malay word for eagle is helang - which is shortened to "lang", while kawi is the name of a red stone used as a chalk to mark goods. This interpretation was used to create the landmark sculpture of an eagle as the symbol of Langkawi at Dataran Helang (Eagle Square) in Kuah.

My wife and I are based in Bangkok, so we woke up early to catch our flight from Bangkok to Langkawi, and we arrived just in time for lunch. After grabbing our bag from Langkawi airport we jumped in the car and took a drive to Seashells Restaurant, located in laman padi, a rice field. The setting of the restaurant was really nice, with wooden cabanas built over the top of a rice field. We ordered a few different nasi campur dishes, including daging kurma, a beef and coconut milk curry and ayam masak merah, a red chicken curry as well, and ...

Langkawi: Satu klip video memaparkan pertengkaran dan pergaduhan antara pemandu bot dengan sekumpulan pelancong dipercayai warga Arab di pangkalan nelayan di sini menjadi viral di media sosial sejak semalam. Klip video berdurasi 1.14 saat itu memaparkan aksi tolak-menolak dan tindakan kasar kedua-dua pihak dipercayai berlaku sejurus bot pelancong yang beroperasi membawa pelancong menjelajah pulau sekitar perairan Tanjung Rhu tiba di pangkalan nelayan di sini. Keadaan dilihat menjadi semakin tegang apabila seorang rakan pemandu bot terbabit yang cuba campur tangan untuk menyuraikan pergaduhan itu turut memegang sebatang spanar. Bagaimanapun, spanar itu dirampas oleh seorang individu yang berada atas bot itu bagi mengelak kejadian lebih buruk berlaku. Klip video itu tersebar di media sosi...

Take a tour of Langkawi Sky Bridge in Malaysia -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. Hi, I am Naomi and I am very excited to show you the world's greatest attractions. Though not the longest bridge in the world, it sure is the most exhilarating. The Langkawi Sky Bridge stands alone, both in terms of its designs and its magnificent view. The bridge spans 125 meters between 2 mountain tops, 700 meters above sea level. Its curved walkway offers a vertigo inspiring view straight down of the ravine that it crosses. Further in the distance are views of the Andaman Sea and Tarutao Island in Thailand. To get to this high wire bridge, visitors take a cable car up the mountain. Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time.
