Pantai Kok Attractions

What to See in Pantai Kok

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.

Anna & The King Gallery

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.

Telaga Harbour Park

Built to promote Langkawi as a major sailing and yachting destination, the Telaga Harbour Park is a beautiful marina next to Pantai Kok. Beautifully-landscaped and designed to resemble a section of the French Riviera, the harbour boardwalks are filled with great restaurants and hip clubs. As you walk the boardwalk you’ll get to ogle the sleek and gorgeous mega-yachts along the pier.

Langkawi Crocodile Farm

While the Crocodile Farm many not be actually located within Pantai Kok, it is only a moderate distance away near Datai. You can see thousands of crocodiles, comprising several well-known species on this eight-hectare farm. The crocodile shows are especially entertaining where the ‘trainers’ ‘wrestle’ with the crocodiles and feed them. The souvenir shops also have some interesting knick knacks including leather products and genuine crocodile teeth.

Falconry Encounters

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.

Langkawi Bird Paradise Wildlife Park

This park may not look like much from the outside. Sporting plain white walls and no other adornments the place looks vaguely yawn-worthy. However once you get past the entrance gates, this tropical garden is brimming with over 150 species of exotic birds, including toucans, hornbills and flamingos. It’s a good place to spend time at especially if the weather is bad since the walkways are covered.

Langkawi Craft Complex

You’ll pass by this craft cultural complex on your way to the Galleria Perdana and the Langkawi Bird Paradise Wildlife Park. The complex is home to some, you guessed it – Malaysian handicrafts; locals say that there’s really not much to see here and they’re really quite right; only the batik paintings are quite pretty to look at.

Opening Hours: 09:00 – 18:00
Location: Teluk Yu, Mukim Bohor
Tel: 604 959 1913
Price Range: Free

Mat Chincang Mountains

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.

Oriental Village

The Oriental Village is the site where you can purchase tickets to ride the Langkawi Cable Car. With a backdrop of the soaring Mat Chincang Mountains, the ‘village’ itself is pretty spectacular. Resembling a cross between a charming French village and an old-style Chinese town, Oriental Village boasts duck ponds and quaint bridges as pretty as a picture.

Tiger! Tiger! Gallery & Exhibit

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.
