"Laundry!" was the first response I got when I asked this question. For those who want a little more in life on the LAY DAY here are some suggestions:

Close to the Yacht Club

• Head into Kuah Town, though many of the shops are a little style challenged in what they stock, you will soon find out that Langkawi is the perfect place to restock on T-shirts, rubber flip flops and alcohol.
• Try the Chinese hawker stalls or Malay nasi kandars for a cheap tasty meal.
• Escape the heat at the well air conditioned Langkawi Fair shopping mall or the bowling alley at the ferry terminal.
• Treat yourself to a bit of reflexology, there are a number of places in town to choose from. Those looking for more than a foot massage try the spas at the hotels in town.
• But then again you may feel that the yacht club pool and Charlie's Place is far enough to go for a day of rest.

Further a-field

Grab a map, hire a car or motorbike and head to other parts of the island:

• If you want to 'go animal' head for The Birdpark, Underwater World, the Crocodile Park and the Snake Sanctuary.
• For the culturally inclined Galeria Perdana, Air Hangat (a good 15 min.foot massage for RM 10), Kompleks Budaya Kraf (Craft and Culture centre), Makam Mahsuri are worth a visit, or explore the Cable Car at Matcincang.
• Check out Pantai Kok, Telaga Harbour, Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah, which are great for watching a sunset, having dinner on the beach, indulging in some reflexology or a massage and for sampling Langkawi's laid back night life.
