shopping in Langkawi

Where are the best shopping areas in Langkawi. Looking for both Markets and shopping centres for name brands. Also, what would comparable price be for something in Langkawi. Say a pair of shoes V%26#39;s what you might pay in you home country.





Also, is the shopping better in KL, we visit KL for 2 days after a 8 night stay in Langkawi, should we wait and spend up big there?





Thanks

Hi





My advice would be to wait and spend your money in KL - the shopping there is wonderful. There are loads of shopping malls with designer shops and the more ordinary shopping outlets. In Langkawi it is mainly just the usual touristy type goods although being a duty free island, the price of spirits is relatively cheap.





Can%26#39;t really do a price comparison for shoes, as here in Leeds, UK, the price for a good pair of shoes - named brand - is upwards of GBP100. If you are shopping for shoes in KL you may be wise to take an empty suitcase, so much choice.





So to summarise - KL for shopping, Lankawi for relaxing.

shopping in Langkawi


Langkawi has no name brands, the best you would get are Bata shoes. You can buy alcohol, cigarettes, chocos, dried fish, fake bags, batik, thai durians and many more in both markets and smaller shops. Shopping complexes sell about the same thing.





Save your money in Langkawi, or go for a long spa treatment. Wait till KL and go to Suria KLCC for brand names. Suria Mall is just the foundation below the Petronas twin towers.




Shopping on Langkawi is pretty limited, nothing fancy and no designer items. Follow the previous posts advice and do your shopping in KL.





You might like to have a walk around Langkawi Fair or The Parade (above Teow Soon Haut), but you won%26#39;t find any V, D%26amp;G etc on Langkawi.





Most of the shopping on the island is geared towards locals.





Suitcase and chocolate heaven !




Sprits and sigarettes very cheap instead of the mainland also perfumes
