An independent dispatch from Langkawi — published in partnership with Langkawi Channel
Readers of Condé Nast Traveler put Langkawi fourth in Asia, ahead of Phuket and Bali. Telaga Tujuh also took Malaysia's best waterfall title.
Today on Pulau Langkawi. Sun and moon times are worked out for Kuah (6.35°N, 99.80°E). Tide heights come from a global tide model, and the official marine forecast still has the last word.
Loading tide heights…
Model tide predictions for the water off Kuah, not a survey. Use them to judge the shape of the day, and the official marine forecast for anything that matters on the water.
Langkawi sits close to the equator, so daylight stays within about 20 minutes of 12 hours all year.
Approximate phase for tonight. It matters on the island for night markets, beach walks and stargazing.
We link out rather than reprint tide tables, so the numbers you read are the ones the Meteorological Department is standing behind.
Pasar malam rotates around the island, one village a night.
Stall hours are usually about 6pm to 11pm. The Sunday to Saturday list above follows the Langkawi district office and the Langkawi Municipal Council, which put Kuah on both Wednesday and Saturday. No Thursday market appears on that list: traders and travel guides usually point to Temoyong near Pantai Cenang, so treat Thursday as the one to check with your host before driving out. Locations and timings do shift for weather, Ramadan and public holidays.
