Nuya's Travelogue: Langkawi, Day 3

We decided to visit the Laman Padi Langkawi Museum as I have read raved reviews about the free guided tour.

When we reached the paddy field, we tried to look everywhere for the guide. After wandering around for a while and feeling clueless, we spotted the guide who is in the midst of providing explanation to 2 other guests. I asked if we could join them, luckily the friendly guide says ok.

With the guided tour, things begin to sound much more interesting and fun!

The fields were divided into different sections to show the various stages of the rice growing process.

The bunch tied up on the left is for planting of new batches of rice

The paddy on the right is finally ready to be harvested!

A closer look at the paddy. They even have scarecrow in the middle of the field!

Our guide demonstrated how the farmers chase off the birds. A string attached to a metal zinc is pulled to make noise which scares off the birds.

Our guide demonstrated how farmers catch fish in their paddy field. There is a poor fish inside the cage to show guest how it is done :P

Real buffalo! lol.. Kudos to the staff effort to make this an authentic experience!

Scrapped coconuts using the traditional scrap manually by hand.

The guide showing off a type of grape. I remember it’s really sour.. lol..

After the fruitful guided tour, we drove to Pantai Cenang again which is just a 3-minutes drive away.

We found a spa and decided to try fish spa for the first time! I was giggling the whole time as it felt really strange. But it was quite a fun and happy experience as we were laughing a lot! After the fish spa, we decided to try their foot massage as well. What a relaxing day.. lol…
