Langkawi's taxies belong to the most expensive ones in South East Asia even if they are chaep compare to European rates. Because there is no public transport in the moment on Langkawi the taxi mafia has the monopoly. You have to use them, there is no other way and bargaining does not work in most cases (but give it a try).

To be far away from your hotel in the night could be rather expensive. The drivers like to double or  tripple the normal fare or even call up a fantasy price. They know, you have no other choice. Pay their price or walk (which can be quite pleasant in a warm, tropical night). In daytime the fares from the airport are the most expensive. If you made some good or bad experiance with a Langkawi taxi driver, write us a mail and we will publish it.
