We really adored Langkawi and rented a car to tour the island – something easily accomplished in a day.
We were fortunate to have the island’s pre-eminent naturalist – Irshad Morbarak – right at The Andaman and enjoyed a tour with him one morning.
We – despite the warnings – were victims of a white tailed macaque attack inside our suite. Yes, inside our suite. The crafty macaques actually managed to open the balcony door (granted, I did leave it a crack open) and ransaked our room – helping themselves to our fruit tray and even opened the minibar fridge door and cleared it out to the tune of US$36!
2) the warning is quite clear!; 3) the aftermath of the macaque attack in our suite
4) macaque on the prowl; 5) macaque paying us a visit
6) here s/he is less than 2 feet away from me
7) looks can be deceiving, you DO NOT want to provoke these animals
8) a video of the macaque right up close
We spent 5 glorious hours at Ishan Malaysian Spa in Pantai Cenang having our bodies massaged and scrubbed and wrapped in banana leaves. It was sheer heaven.
