Places in Langkawi is a broad category that includes towns, villages and geographical entities such as hills, mountains, bays and straits. Only the islands of Langkawi are provided a separate listing, as of now. Ever since Langkawi was developed for tourism, many of the towns and villages have seen rapid development. Hotels, resorts and new tourist attractions are built in former rural land. This gives the people of Langkawi the opportunity to find employment. Nevertheless, many of the traditional villages still remain in Langkawi, and a drive around the island brings us to lovely kampung houses that have remained very much the same from the days when Langkawi was just a rural backwater of Kedah.
On this page, I list out the many place names that you will find in Langkawi. I hope that through the description provided, you will have a better idea where these places are located.
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.
