Great introduction to your Malaysian trip. Years ago my nextdoor neighbours in London were a Malaysian (originally from Penang) and her English husband. They regularly used to invite me in for dinner. I absolutely loved the food she prepared and still have fond memories of it and those fun times we shared. Enjoy your journey through Malaysia.
Aaaw that are some great memories I’m sure 😍 Malaysian people are super friendly over all 🤗 Dik, have a beautiful day 🏆 cheer s
2 months road trip, so exciting! Great start and I can't wait to explore Malaysia with you two!
Super exiting 😍 thanks for watching Mayaan 😁 next one is coming soon🏆 cheers en groetjes aan Mon
Malaysia is a melting pot of cultures n food: Malay(Melayu), Chinese, Indian, Sabahan, Sarawakian, Thai, Indonesian etc..if you are still in langkawi I recommend you visit Nasi Dagang Pak Malau, a Malay restaurant with beautiful scenery of mountain and rice paddy, enjoy 👌
Ow wow! Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately we moved on the next island. Any tips for Penang? 🤗
@@Chai_Travel sorry Penang is not my favorite spot..If you really like tropical islands with crystals clear water, corals n fish I recommend visit the east coast islands like Pulau Perhentian, Pulau Redang, Pulau Tioman🏝
Aah I understand. No worries! Hopefully I’ll still be able to entertain you from time to time 😁 cheers!
@@Chai_Travel You should go to Kek Lok Si Temple at night because they light up with thousands of lantern. The Clan jetty.
Yes
We sailed between Lankawi and Phuket on a yacht for 6 years before sailing back to Australia.
The Muslim folk on Langkawi are so friendly with humbling hospitality.
Go to Pregnant Maiden Lake, a beautiful cruise up into the fiords. Great story to be told.
Ey Som Chai! You are my brother with the same name 😉 thanks for sharing that! Unfortunately we’ve left Langkawi already on the the next :) I’ll definitely have a look next time we’re there 🤗 cheers 🏆
@@Chai_Travel Thailand and Malaysia have twins.
We hv kl, they have bangkok
We have penang, they have phuket
Does Malaysia have a Chiang Mai? 😏
@@Chai_Travel Cameron highlands
I gonna have to check it out! 😍
The Chenang looks lively and fun, the street around it looks good as well. Really enjoyed watching the 1st day video!
Thanks Japjot 😁 man, the next one is gonna be even better 😃 haha I’ve just finished the editing and I quite like it myself 🏆 cheers mate
Have a stop in my hometown Alor Setar the capital of Kedah and for your info, Langkawi is actually a part of Kedah even though it's situated next to the state of Perlis. Kedah is actually the oldest state in Malaysia and Alor Setar is the oldest city in Malaysia. A fact in history that's just been discovered after the discovery of the oldest archaeological site in South East Asia right here in Kedah. It's even older than Angkor Watt and Borobudur. It's called the Sungai Batu Archaeological Site. Kedah also is the Rice Bowl of Malaysia cause we're the largest rice provider for Malaysia where most of our land here are rice fields. That's just a bit about Kedah. Langkawi is actually the only place famous from Kedah but the mainland Kedah itself not so much. That's why most foreigners just skip us altogether and went straight to Penang if they enter Malaysia from Thailand either through the land border or by the sea like you guys did. Have fun and do enjoy yourself while you're here in Malaysia 😷😁👍💖👍🥰😷
Hey Nikkey! Thanks so much for explaining 😁 unfortunately I have to say we’re doing the same thing the majority of the tourists are doing 😅 anyway this time. Hopefully there will be an opportunity for us to go again later this year to go to Alor Setar 🤩 cheers mate. Have a good day 😁
Alor Setar Or Kedah as a state (except for Langkawi) is very underrated. In fact most of the northern Malaysian States like Kelantan, Terengganu are underrated. Not sure why that is the case.
But I really loved my time in Alor Setar. Its a very laid back city having great Malay traditional food and a big Clock tower as well :)
Great first look around Langkawi 👌 very chilled people - rendang 😋 beaches - Amazing- more pls 😃👋👍🙏
Yo yo, so now this one is shown in my “inbox”. Thanks again mate 😊😁 also for alarming me earlier on about the Scam
Fun activity on the beach there.🔥 Food looks great.😋 I hope you visit Malacca City . I've never been but have seen lots of videos and it's a gorgeous place.☮
Thanks Swampzoid 😁 really looking forward to show you the next one 😍 hope to see you this Sunday 🏆 cheers
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing your lovely explorations in Langkawi. Welcome to Malaysia.
My pleasure champ. I really appreciate you commenting 😁
@@Chai_Travel Wonderful. 😁
I've only ever been to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia but after watching your last two videos, I would really like to go to Langkawi and then catch the boat to Koh Lipe. 😘🙏
Hi Connie! I’ve just noticed your comments 🤗 it’s so easy to travel between Malaysia and Thailand by boat so I’d say go for it 😁 I’m so excited to show you the next one 😊 it’s gonna be our last video in Langkawi. Have a good morning
@@Chai_Travel I can't wait to see the next video 🙂
Sabah , East Malaysia is waiting for you to visit .
Thank you 🤗 we’d love to visit one day ❤️
I REALLY want to see all the places you are going to when I move there
Thanks ❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Leslie 🤗 I hope you’re able to do so ❤️
Love the Rendang Chai. My favourite Malay food. It is also on the menu at Indian restaurants here in Oz. . Langkawi looks very inviting. Nice work guys. Thanks for sharing 🤩
Thanks Steven 😃 haha yeah me too! We eat it a lot over here! Hope to see you in the next one because it was so beautiful 😍
Try cockles rendang as well if you eat nasi lemak for breakfast
@@mohdzaki1089 yeah my favorite too but the cockle rendang, not the cockle sambal, and the rendang type is very hard to find whereas I have seen people sell the sambal type more frequently
must be mamak , many version of rendang, all taste different, like cheese
It's the traditional malay style meal: _nasi campur_ (mixed rice) meaning we have the basic plate of rice then we add onto the same plate whatever protein, veges, and side dishes that we want. Unless the plate is too full already then we'd use another plate for the add-on dish. Usually the basic plate of white rice costs 50sen - rm1 or rm1.50 probably nowadays. Then a piece of chicken may cost around rm4. One helping of vege is probably rm2. Side dish maybe rm1-2.
For malays it's traditionally by hand (not the left hand though, except for eg only to assist in holding temporarily a food item) while the malaysian chinese traditionally use chopsticks even when eating rice (but from a bowl compared to from a plate for malays)
Perfect Jon :) you’ve been a great help so far 🤗 🏆 cheers!
BTW if you also like to engage in outdoor activities, then have a look at this japanese yt who also loves staying in malaysia, aki from japan who just published his latest video 5 hours ago, a very nice one for the state of pahang
Great that you went to Langkawi to savour Malay food there. Yummy authentic Malay food
Thanks! Glad to see you’re watching 🤗🏆
many people simply put everything in one plate as it's much simpler. however if we want to eat many different dishes then we put in different plates
Aw thanks a lot for your input:) that’s kind of you 🏆 cheers
Selamat Datang ke Malaysia
Thank you 😃 we free really welcome 🤗
I know very little about this country. That is all about to change. I look forward to more!
Nice one mate! Looking forward to showing this neighboring country :)
In Malaysia we re *very multi cultures* country.U cant simply compare the food from the origin bcos we Malaysian have our taste that are so unique.Me myself came from a *large multi ethic culture* n I can said we a r *world multi culture* .We have Indian, Chinese, Australian, African, Arab, Indonesian, Philiphines, Kembodian,English, Thailand n so on. N even a race that u even as traveller do not knew their existance.So dont compare the food bcos we *recontructed* the taste with our culture n tastebud n from each ancestor .A piece of that n this created such remarkable dish n u cant find at the other side of the world.Thats Malaysia.Thank you
Thanks for your input there! I’d love the mix of people who are making Malaysia great 😁 I think the world can learn a lot from this country 😁 we’re also loving the delivery of all the delicious food 🤤 cheers!
Hello Chai and Ilona awesome video Langkawi looks so laid back. My god the food looks so delicious. Two months of travelling around Malaysia looking forward to many videos. Take Care
Thanks! Haha really the food is next level. We have to say sometimes we do miss Thai food but we have a lot of distraction 🤭🤤 stay champ 😃🏆
If you like foods go to KL, Penang, Kelantan, Melaka, N9, Johor, Sabah & Sarawak. If you like island, go to Perhentian, Kapas & Redang Island in Terengganu, Desaru in Johor, Tioman in Pahang, Langkawi Kedah or Sipadan and Mabul in Sabah. If you like mountains go to Cameron Highland in Pahang and Kundasang & Kinabalu, Sabah. If you like jungle, go to Taman Negara, Pahang and Belum in Perak. If you like history and culture, go to Melaka, KL, Penang, Kelantan and Terengganu. Malaysia has so many things to offer.
Wow! Nice advice! I already know we have to come back 😍
Very clean too ... !
Hi there this is not me. Please don’t accept any surprises
Another great video champs! Malaysia will be fun. You guys should try and do livestreams like Gary Butler does maybe? People always give him money on those and they are fun for us viewers.
Haha Ey Will! Thanks 😃 we really enjoy Malaysia right now. Glad you’ve enjoyed this one too 🤗 let’s see. The only thing that holds me back from doing lives is that I’m dyslexic and I won’t be able to read all the comments myself 😅 maybe I should just try it! 😝 you make me reconsider it anyway. Have a good day mate 🏆
@@Chai_Travel I think it would be fun. Good way to connect with people/build your audience too. No one cares if ur a slow reader haha. Anyway, have a good one man. Enjoy Malaysia :)
Aw thanks mate we’ll give it a go soon 😊 cheers 🏆
Thanks for your Chinese New year wish
No problem 😊
Seems like an interesting channel.
Thanks Gajah! Hope to stay it touch😃
normaly at the buffet style restaurants or stalls we put everything in one plate (nasi campur). But you can always ask for separate bowls for the dish with gravy. So far I see that all over the world when I'm having buffet.
Yes, as a Malaysian myself, i agree that we can be somewhat "aggressive" when it comes to using the road.
Subscribed done. Welcome to Malaysia Truly Asia. Do visit East Malaysia Sarawak n Sabah in Borneo 🤗👍
Awesome! Thanks so much
We love it here. Unfortunately we won’t be visiting east but will do soon 🤗
Try to visit some famous waterfalls eg temurun and 7 wells
Coming up next
Maybe u can drop by to Alor Setar city. One of the oldest city in the world. btw Kedah has the oldest unbroken kings' dynasty in the world besides kelantan, brunei n japan.
I’ll have to Google it 😃 thanks for the tip Saiful 🏆
Hello Chai! I’m new to the channel. As you were asking about if the car stop or not, it’s better to use the power of hand😂 just put your hand ✋🏻 up and mostly will stop. Just don’t do it on a busy road 😂
Haha welcome mate 🤗 the power of the hand… please don’t use it on a highway😜
yeah, every state in Malaysia have their own unique place, dif food also use different slang😂
Go visit the telaga tujuh waterfalls too
Thank you 😃
I was about to have my lunch and watched the vlog. Then I saw your lunch...,..much preferred yours.
I dated a Singaporean back in the day when I travelled to Malaysia. The worry her parents had was this one word - khalwat. They were worried she was going to be locked up or me .
Ey mate l, Khalwat? I think I’m about to learn something new 😊 hopefully you’ll be able to get some good lunch today 😁
@@Chai_Travel Khalwat is being together alone in secluded place. For Muslim that's consider as a sin so it's a prohibition hence under Shariah law ie If caught then have attend Shariah court and can be fine up to RM 3,000 depends on the state. But Shariah laws don't apply to non Muslim so if the guy or the girl is non Muslim, they can walk free, only their Muslim couple will get the fined.
Crossing the road in Malaysia?
Easy... just raise your hand.
Because we believe in the power of the hand😏😏😏
The power of the hand 😁 I like it!
thx for the video. what about the visa back in malasia
For US and Commonwealth countries up to 90days
That’s right :) also many other countries like Japan but also European countries 😊
@@ashtriana1 thx
I've been wanting to drop by for a long time... and you stimulated me...
does it always work that if you leave koh lipe and come back they give you back the 45 days in thailand?
Do they ask you for any special documents (vaccines, insurance...) from koh lipe to langkawi?
In short, do you take the ferry from pattaya beach, arrive, stay a few days and come back?
At crossing road always stop...expecially if a lovely girl is crossing 😍 and more expecially thinking about the consequence of an accident......
Next week...koh samet, after i go back phuket
Enjoy langkawi !! 😎
No Special documents needed. By land and water you will get 30 days but I think they will go back to 15days later this year. 45 only by air (although some give 45 also by land. Cheers MyWebLab 🏆
@@Chai_Travel
no chai, that's not correct
I just go out and come back in nong khai and they give me 45 days....i have the stamp out 16 gen out 1 march...
But thanks for the info 'no document' for langkawi 🤪
@@myweblab yeah that’s what I’m saying they do give 45 as well. You can consider yourself a lucky man. Have a good day 🏆
@@Chai_Travel 🤣🤟🏻
Visa run lol.
There are 2 spots for sunset in Malaysia that are world class.
1. Langkawi
2. Kota kinabalu sabah
We have to check them both out 😍
three, gunung Kinabalu
Hai. I am guy same flight with you return from langkawi to Penang
Hi! I see 😃 you were sitting in front of us. Are you from Ipoh you were saying? We’re going there next 😁 cheers 🙏🏼🇲🇾
There's a ferry service to Penang. Not recommend to visit cable car during cloudy day.
Thanks! We went to the cable car already and we had such great weather. Coming up!
Cai..uses you hand power for stop the car..hahaha
Haha such a good power to have 😝
@@Chai_Travel use the force.
When you have time,u can visit sabah anda Sarawak also
I’d love to! No time unfortunately🙃 we’ll have to do it on next trip 😊
I am so surprise with your malay language. Ah your mum is indonesian.
Aaah that’s right :)
Never visited Langkawi though I did go to KL and Georgetown in Penang. The people there were friendly and I got treated better than I did in Thailand. But they probably looked at me and thought I was arab even though I'm not lol. I used to get asked occasionally whether i belonged to their religion I remember to which I would politely decline.
Haha yeah I guess for a big group in Malaysia it helps bonding if you’re moslim :p people are very friendly here indeed 😊 and the food… ow don’t let me start on the food 🤤😝
What you are having in separate plates , is called nasi hidang. What the locals have in one plate is called nasi campur.
Thanks for the info! 🫶🏼
wc to malaysia
Thank you 😃
@@Chai_Travel try nasi kerabu in kelantan and nasi lemak,
Ow I love nasi lemak 🤤 I’ve to try Nasi kerabu 🤩 thanks
In Malaysia we don't realy differentiate anybody cross the road. It depends, if you see the vehicle rides very fast, don't try to cross the road. During my travel in the world, I never experience the car stop when I cross the road. The car only stop at the traffic lights.
Thanks for you input there :D much appreciated!
I believe they stare because of the camera 😅
Lol TH-camr talking to yourself using a large equipment. I will stare too.
Hahaha you guys making me laugh 😂 thanks for watching and you comments 🏆
Climb the highest mountain in South East Asia in Sabah next time you visit Malaysia
I’d love to 😃 let’s see if we can make it work 😁
Sambal Belacan bah..... Bukan belacak... 😂
Come to Penang
We are already there! 😃
@@Chai_Travel oohh sorry i just watch your vlog.. hope u enjoy in Penang
No one stops in Thailand crossing the street, if you don't venture put into traffic you'll stand there forever at the crosswalk
Haha, that’s right 😝 you better cross and search for eye contact 😜
Traffic might be bad but to compare to the other country.. no need far away just the neighbour country Indonesia.. you can compare..
Haha yeah it’s crazy in traffic there too 😅 but exciting too 😝
6:05 ohh you are indonesia, you can understand indonesia and malaysia language?
Aaah a little be I can. I should know a lot more but I never learned it 😅 I want to know a lot more 😁🇲🇾
malaysia and Thailand very close in distant and relation, you laterally can have dinner here and sleep there
Haha that’s right 🤣
So are they polite or not polite in Malaysia?
Very polite. Really friendly and outgoing ❤️
Not really, raise your palm to double confirm when crossing roads. Use the power of the hand.
The power of the hand :) I like it!
There are 200 tribes in sabah, not only malay, Chinese, indian.
This is not me! Be careful for this scammer. My name doesn’t contain “Telegrm”
Use hand has benefit on health as the enzymes between the fingers are good for digestion..bear in mind wash your right hand first before eat.
There are many races in Malaysia Malay, Chinese, Indian etc.. so you must know how to address or mention which one of them rather than call them the Malays.. 😊✌️🇲🇾
Use hand has benefit (or power) on stopping or slowing down cars. I think this is almost universal, people do it in the US, in the UK and I believe in other countries as well. But in malaysia in particular, I advise against doing it to: 1)a bus/lorry, 2)a motorbike, 3)a car approaching at high speed, 4)any vehicle manned by a blind, or visually impaired person 😂
@@jonmath4182 yep absolutely right 😊
Thanks guys! Aw yeah I should have used Malays :) will do a full episode about the mix of cultures coming up soon 😁
Malaysian food is less fierce on the chilli compared to Thailand...
Sambal belacan bro. Not sambal belajak 😄
Oops! Haha my bad🤭
And it not even sambal, i think it is budu.
Naaah ;)
To cross the road, do lift your hand... it's a thing...
I do stop personally for pedestrians...
Yeah Malaysian can be road bullies...
Haha thanks for your input. Also the hand lifting is very useful 😁 cheers
Malaysians will stop at the pedestrian crossing road if there are pedestrians who want to cross.
Chai,don't use the phrase Malay only because Malay only one race in Malaysia,we are multi racial country consisting of Malay,Chinese and Indian.Certain place we have more Malay like Langkawi and in Penang you find more Chinese race ,so use the word Malaysian.
Hi Kenny :) thanks for your explanation. We’re aware of the multi cultural country and we will do full episodes about this soon 😁 I definitely was mistaken with the word Malay and I had to say Malaysian instead 😅 my bad and thank you for correcting me 😃🇲🇾 cheers
I think that he is aware of that. No need to point that out. no need to be so sensitive. chill bro.
@@Amazingzing yeah he got offended that chai only referred to Malay race. I mean come on. No need to be so insecure. Chinese, Malays, Indians all are humans so we are all the same at the end of the day.
@@macjoseph9735 It's not insecure, the correct term is indeed Malaysian, not Malay. Same if you travel to US, you can't just say "Black American", "Black American" just to refer to Americans.
@@nutzhazel Yeah I completely understand that. Having lived in Malaysia for a few years I know the race thing is pretty complicated. The problem is when people react as soon they realise that even by the smallest of margin their race is being put down.
If religion is made by gods then race is made by humans and we should not really be offended by these things.
Pak choi is chinese
It is Malaysians. Not Malay people. Malay, Chinese and Indian are people of different races.
Thanks for that :) maybe you enjoy this video better🙏🏼

Absolutely true about traffic. Went for my undergrad training in KL Hospital Accident& Emergency dept. During rainy days, the stationed nurses were constantly on their toes because they got all sort of scary motor vehicle accident cases-missing legs, cracked maxillofacial bones. Generally, road safety and etiquette in Malaysia are still poor.
Hi Marsilla:) thanks for your your story sharing! That sounds horrible 😨
Haha, not so polite in traffic … Je moet mijn vrouw zien als ze achter het stuur zit. Iedereen rondom haar is “an idiot” lah. En stoppen aan een zebrapad ???? Only if a zebra crosses, then we stop.
if i remembered correctly in 2019, surveyed done by one website, malaysian driver nominated the worst driver in the world.
Hmmm I wonder on what base they road the article
really??😨
