Park at Kuala Kedah & take ferry to Langkawi...

[Rskeisuke]

anyone tried before? Safe to park at Kuala Kedah jetty?

[Siewss]

I parked there the last time in December 07. I'm still driving my car

 

If possible, try to park at the school across the road - it looks safer to me. I parked at the one that's next to the school, and it doesn't look secure at all, though the tout claimed he live in the house facing the lots. The open ground carpark in front of the jetty was jammed packed, so I didn't bother giving it a shot. Besides, car movement seemed very heavy.

 

I was charged RM15 per day. Not sure if that's the going rate. Hope you get a better deal.

Shouldnt be problem. Kedah not like JB, not many criminals. If you can park at Kuala Perlis then take ferry even shorter time, i had never heard ppl lose their car there.

sorry bros... nt sure how to make a new question..

 

want to ask..how long does it takes to drive fm spore to langkawi..??

 

and how to go abt it, which road to travel, more details.. thanks..

[Leecc73]

K.

 

Take NS, drive until Kedah toll (750km). Exit toll and follow signboard to Kangar (Perlis), should be left hand side. After that, you will drive a 1 ways road take about 40 mins, 35km to reach a junction with signboard Kuala Perlis,(mean u enter Perlis estate) turn to left, all the way 15 mins u will reach jetty. A lot chinese there, go kopitiam ask around, then u will know what to do.

I did once in Penang. We visited the off-shore Jerejek resorts and stayed there for 2 nights. So the car was parked at the jetty for two consecutive nights. My usual safety precaution still apply, put 3 locks, turn the steering to one side and turned on the GTS. With GTS, though I'm in the offshore island, I still can remain in touch with my car by viewing its present location through PDA. If there is movement to the car, I'll be alerted via SMS too.

bro, how to go kedah? NS straight all the way? the way gng to KL? or?

 

thxs

[Leecc73]

Yes after going KL, follow the signboard to Ipoh, then butterwoth, then out at alorstar (kedah). Follow all the way with referance to end of bukit kayu hitam, but only exit earlier .

[Neoscan]

Do you mind sharing which GTS are you using to be able to see it's location

 

Sounds like a great product :)

 

 

 

I'm interested to get one for my ride as well

 

thanks :)

Is there any way to bring our own car to the island????

[Leecc73]

Yap by ferry can. But usually ppl seldom do this.

[Soulja]

So meaning that it is safe to park at Kuala Kedah jetty? Because I planning to visit there on 17 to 19 of May.

[Leecc73]

Sure la. over there no many criminals. Just dont show valuable to ppl inside car good enough.

[Leecc73]

Oh, sorry i no very sure Kuala kedah. because i use to be go from kuala perlis.

 

But as i know, it should be fine also, kedah also quite safe la.

[Soulja]

Thanks for ur infos bro!

[Rskeisuke]

you'd better re-confirm about bringing SG registered car onto the island. I dun think it's allowed, only MY registered car allowed and moreover some procedures needed.

[Soulja]

I see...in that case, i have to check again lor....

[Bluepica]

I park there before too... it's safe I guess cos got attendant look after.... u can't drive ur car to Langkawi
