Langkawi
A cable car up to a sky bridge that sways gently over the rainforest canopy, a duty-free status that makes the whole island one long shopping stopover, and a legend about a curse that locals will happily explain over dinner.
The best time to visit Langkawi is Nov–Mar, when typical daytime highs reach about 31°C (87°F). Local time there is 21:31 (UTC+8).
