Places in Langkawi

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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
