Langkawi Apr 08 (1)

Took many many pictures on this trip... Hope you'll enjoy them as much as I did taking them :) As usual, I am cheating and only showing the ones that turned out well. But hey, who ever said that photography was unbiased :P

Our "hotel"-- Berjaya Langkawi Beach & Spa Resort, a sprawling resort nestled in the midst of a lush tropical rainforest. You can get a chalet on stilts by the sea, if you're willing and able to fork out a huge premium. Of course we didn't splurge to that extent :P

Deck chairs for lazing by the beach...

A chalet with a sea view...

Bigger chalets in the 'forest' overlooking the sea...

Though we only had a humble chalet with a 'garden and partial sea view', it was still sufficiently comfy/cosy to satisfy me...

Path leading up to the Thai restaurant

I loved how there was absolutely nothing between the sea and the sky. Just so simple and beautiful. Snapped most of these pictures while taking a leisurely afternoon walk in the sprawling resort (ok I cheated and took the buggy to the Thai restaurant at the end, but walked back :P)

Imagine listening to the lovely sound of waves while taking your stroll...

And dining right by the sea....

This place felt even more peaceful at night, as the surroundings were totally dark. Except for stars in the sky... :) We eventually dined there the 2nd night... and though we didn't get to dine outdoors (since it was potentially drizzly) it was still quite nice.
