Known as “Jewel of Kedah”, Pulau Langkawi is an archipelago of 104 islands of which 5 of these tiny islands can only be seen during low tide. Kedah is a north western State in Peninsular Malaysia and to the north of Kedah is Thailand. These tropical islands are situated at the meeting point of the Straits of Malacca and the Andaman Sea. The largest island among these is named Langkawi. Langkawi comes from two Malay words, Lang and Kawi. “Lang” means Eagle and “Kawi” means the colour reddish brown.
