If you are visiting Malaysia, one of the top places to go in Malaysia should include the Langkawi Island in northern Peninsular Malaysia. What can you see in Langkawi? Other than beaches or Perdana Gelleria, the next hot spot to go must be this crocodile farm. In fact there are not much things you can see in Langkawi but this farm surely worth a visit. Langkawi Crocodile Farm or Taman Buaya Langkawi in Malay is a 20-Acre-Land featuring over 1000′s of crocodiles in various species and also alligators, in a few separated man-made ponds.

I went there last year on my company trip to Langkawi. It has been 10 years since my last time there and there are still reasons to revisit this island.

After paying RM8 entrance fees, visitors could explore the garden the way you like freely. The main pond is the biggest with pedestrian bridge built over it.

Langkawi Crocodile farm26

Visitors could walk slowly on this bridge overlooking many crocodiles doing all sorts of activities resembling their real lives.

Langkawi Crocodile farm28

The environment within this 2o acre compound is very nice, comfortable, clean with lush greenery.

Langkawi Crocodile farm29

Wow, look at that! What’s the species of these crawling crocodile?

Langkawi Crocodile farm2

Further strolling down the walking path, we came to the show pond. No seating provided, visitors have to stand around the stage to watch the ‘man vs crocodile’ live performances.

Langkawi Crocodile farm3

There are 2 ‘old’ and tamed but big crocodiles in 2 small ponds. First of them came out of water to start the show…

Langkawi Crocodile farm4

Why is he opening his big jaw with sharp teeth? Any prey around? The audience?

Langkawi Crocodile farm5

Oops! He actually just woke up and waiting his teeth to be brushed! :)

Langkawi Crocodile farm6

Simple action. The crocodile went back into the pond to sleep again after that. Lazy creature…

Langkawi Crocodile farm7

Now. The highlight of the day came. The second giant crocodile is coming!

Langkawi Crocodile farm8

Anaconda?

Langkawi Crocodile farm9

Water being sprayed onto her rapidly as she was crawling up. A hot tempered one I guess… :)

Langkawi Crocodile farm10

Dang dang…. dang dang… dang dang…..dang dang….

Langkawi Crocodile farm12

Hi! How are you? Stay your head up will you?

Langkawi Crocodile farm15

Don’t move babe! I’m on your back…

Langkawi Crocodile farm16

Langkawi Crocodile farm17

Freeze!

Langkawi Crocodile farm18

Oh no! She is opening her mouth! Run! Guy Run!

Langkawi Crocodile farm19

Don’t worry! Superman is here…

Langkawi Crocodile farm20

Err… let me test whether her teeth or my arm is stronger…

Langkawi Crocodile farm21

It’s more than 4m in length! Ladies and gentlemen, the show is over.

Langkawi Crocodile farm27

We continued to walk through the bridge over pond.

Langkawi Crocodile farm23

Wondering what are they doing? Sleeping? Chatting? Playing? Dying?

Langkawi Crocodile farm25

It suddenly rained. Look at them! They are alive! They definitely love rains!

Langkawi Crocodile farm31

We came to another pond. Oh no! These crocodiles are not friendly at all! They are looking for preys! They are mouth watering…

Langkawi Crocodile farm30

Oh I see. This is the feeding pond where crocodiles who are starving will crawle to here to look for real food, fresh meat. Only difference is there are served by trainers.

Langkawi Crocodile farm32

Langkawi Crocodile farm33

Bye bye! Food’s finished! Not full enough? Try to be stronger next time!

Other than that, visitors could also find a restaurant and a souvenirs shop inside the Langkawi Crocodile Farm. For RM8 per entry, you can spend your time there from 9am to 6pm. We stayed there for one and 1 half hour and that should be enough unless you are having lunch there or wandering in the souvenir shop. “Is it worth to go?” Should pay a visit if you haven’t been there before. “Is this post worth to read?” Must subscribe to my Feed via RSS or email if you haven’t done so! :)Travel Feeder, the ultimate travel photo blog

Here are some photos I snapped on Chinese New Year biscuits, oranges and drinks. These are what we eat and drink during this festive seasons in Malaysia. Biscuits are home made, mandarin oranges are from China and drink is lemonade beer.

Just a short update as I’m still celebrating Chinese New Year of Tiger. :)

Hey Dylan! What are you trying to take? You’ve had enough biscuits today!

CNY drinks

Weather is extremely hot these days here in Malaysia. Shandy (Lemonade alcoholic drink) is best to cool me down…

If you ever have the chance to visit to Malaysia for a week or so, one city you must not miss for your travel photography portfolio is Melaka. At about 150 km south of Kuala Lumpur, Melaka is one of the 4 heritage sites of Malaysia inscribed by UNESCO, other than Penang. It features all sorts of heritage architecture left behind by the three conquerers, Portuguess, Dutch and British before the independence of Malaysia.

Christ Church1

Colourful historical buildings and streets are just perfect for travel photography. I love it. I travelled there again on New Year eve just to shoot some beautiful heritage buildings with bright natural sunlight. The most attractive site is definitely the red coloured Stadthuys Square in city centre. It was constructed by the Dutch with the main landmark of Melaka which is the Christ Church Melaka. It’s best to capture the whole scene with at least 10-24mm wide angle lens. I didn’t have it so I shot part of the square with some creative composition from different perspective view. Highly recommended place for travel in year 2010, according to Lonely Planet :)Travel Feeder.
