Info needed on how long is too long to spend on Kecil/Langkawi and any advice on cheap accomodation
Really want to find a nice relaxing island to spend time on (3-4 weeks).
There doesnt have to be loads to do or a huge night life just time to relax and read some books and chill out :-)
Have read quite a bit about Kecil and Langkawi but cant decide where would be nicer, so thought I should get advice from people who have actually visited!!
Also, have heard that you need to book accomodation (on Kecil) in advance as it gets booked up quickly, but I have been searching the net for a couple of days and cannot find anything.....
Any help, as always, would be great, Thank you

Reply to this Hi,
It's actually all depend of the season. Kecil is starting in April for around 6 months...so now, Kecil should be great...was in Besar in July.
All depend on your budget...if you are on the backpacker side, I would say straight on Kecil. Great beach, cheap accomodation and parties as much as you want.
If you are on a splurge, Langkawi has some of the best hotels in the world. But on a budget, not really sure, and you will have more fun in Kecil. But hit Kecil out of the season, and it may be a very bad choice.
I've got a blog on Langkwai and one on Besar. Now, I did Langkawi with my kids, so may not be a good comparaison.
Langkawi...May holidays with Leslie and Tiffany...
Perhentians, diving and few emotions under the tropics!
