Pantai Kok has a pleasant range of tourist attractions to grab your attention. Besides relaxing on its clean-as-a-whistle beach, you can also head to the elaborate Oriental Village which plays host to a great deal of tourist attractions. The stunning Mat Chincang Mountain forms the perfect backdrop in the distance while the Telaga Harbour wharf – home to gleaming mega-yachts – makes you go green with envy at the sight.
Even though Langkawi is a small island, this quarter of the island manages to offer visitors more than a few entertainment options. Home to upscale resorts and a yacht haven, the crowds here are invariably a mix of well-heeled foreigners. Tourist attractions are spread out over Pantai Kok’s wide expanse making a car or a tour guide absolutely essential if you’d like to visit them all.

The only reason this exhibit warrants an entry is to warn Langkawi visitors that the Anna & The King Gallery has been dismantled. Which is actually an unfortunate loss considering the fact that it was actually a pretty good attraction. Displaying props and costumes from the 1999 film starring Jodie Foster – parts of which were shot at Pantai Kok – the maintenance costs of this attraction surpassed its novelty and authorities dismantled the set last year.
To cut a long story short, falconry involves the use of trained birds of prey in sport or for game hunting. Animal Adventures in the Oriental Village has a falconry exhibit – featuring two local varieties of eagles – where you’ll get to take a look at some of Langkawi’s famous raptors.

This may not seem like such an interesting attraction but the Mat Chincang Mountains are really quite stunning. Locals believe that they were once a giant who was cursed and turned into what has invariably become one of Langkawi’s more prominent peaks. For trekking, tour operators will be able to find you a guide possessing a license issued by the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board.

Tiger! Tiger! Gallery & Exhibit is home to Zanah, a Malayan Tigress.

Entrance into the gallery is free of charge as long as you’re appropriately dressed.
