Datai Bay (GPS: 6.42735, 99.67232) is a beautiful bay on the northwestern part of Langkawi. The road that leads towards it starts near the Langkawi Crocodile Farm. It passes the Pasir Tengkorak Beach, the Temurun Waterfalls and the man-made Langkawi Falls before arriving at Datai Bay. Two five-start resorts dominate the bay, namely the Andaman and the Datai.

From Datai Bay, one can look across the Andaman Sea northwards into Thailand. On the horizon are the islands of Tarutao, such as Koh Adang, Koh Lipe and Koh Tarutao. A sheer mountain range called Gunung Machincang guards Datai Bay from behind. There is a cable car service up this mountain, with the station located on the other side of the mountain range, at Pantai Kok.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
