Langkawi Adventures: Beaches, Waterfalls, and Temple Tree Resort


Listen Later

When you live in Indonesia, you often have to leave the country for a "Visa Run" to reinstate your visa eligibility. So recently we flew for a few days to the Malaysian island of Langkawi

We stayed at the totally rad and unique resorts called Temple Tree, which is linked to Bon Ton Resort

Temple Tree's rooms are actually a collection of heritage colonial houses from around Malaysia.

We stayed in the "Colonial House", which was built by Arab goldsmiths in Penang, nearly 100 years ago. Our room was upstairs and consisted of 6 separate rooms, and the downstairs had this beautiful tile floor with a lounge and dinner area. You could rent this house out for a big party!

Our favorite parts of the house were the wooden bathtub, multiple rooms, antique, period furniture and rugs, and relaxed nature of the whole resort.

We slept more hours (12) as a family in our first night there then we ever have!

Bon Ton was first a restaurant in Kuala Lumpur (the Malaysian Capital) and then a second restaurant was opened on Langkawi.  That evolved into Bon Ton Resort - which features a collection of traditional Malay tribal houses. Temple Tree was added later to help fund the owners pet project, the Langkawi Animal Shelter

In this episode you will hear about:

* Pantai Cenang Beach
* Temple Tree Resort and Bon Ton Resort
* Gunung Raya, 4,200 steps, and Geoforest Park
* Durian Perangin Waterfall
* The Langkawi Lucky Temple

We missed visiting the Skybridge as it was closed for maintenance
