There is definitely lots to do in the rainy season. The pick for me must be the upside down house, they must have used the same builders who recently worked on my house. Actually I had the privilege of popping in while they were putting the upsidow house together. A group of talented artists were very meticulous about the placement of items and the color scheme. Lots of classic retro pieces were also used in addition to creative upcycling. Would love to explore the Kraft Komplex — the idea of a wedding museum sounds interesting.
Wonder, why we do not hear it more often as weddings around the world, come with so many varieties of customs and rituals. Upside down house looks interesting too. Wedding customs and rituals from around the world is a fascinating museum idea. I love the idea of attending a batik class at the Craft Complex. Is it possible to bring home your own dyed scarves from there?
Yes Gabby, you do get to take your fabulous work of art with you when you leave. It is an interesting aspect of Malaysian culture. Not just for rainy days, we do get our fare share of super hot days, so anything indoors is a blessing, especially if there is air-con. I love the idea of the Upsidow House — a great selfie location!
Thanks for the Malay language lesson too ;-. I have never seen so many things under one roof in my life. I suppose the ex-prime minister ran out of room at his own house so a museum was the best option. Good tip on choosing a great hotel hangout with fun amenities if you might be stuck there during the rain. I really love traveling during monsoon seasons because it usually brings out a lot of wildlife — did you see any during your trip? Hi Megan! The wildlife in Langkawi seems to like any kind of weather and the birds are especially abundant.
Also otters, snakes, monitor lizards, monkeys, wild boar.. I absolutely love this post because I have a curse- whenever I travel to a place, be it the rainy season or not, I end up with at least a few days when it pours and because I am a very outdoorsy person, I hate it and become all cranky that I have to be stuck indoors.
I absolutely love Upsidedow House, I can imagine all the funny pictures I will take there, haha. Especially when I am expecting to get a gorgeous tan and relax on the beach. Rainy day, Plan B never a thought, but yup I got the curse too! That is a very resourceful guide on sights around Langkawi. It is impressive Malaysian culture is well preserved in Kraft Komplex.
The upside down house sounds so much fun. I am adding this place to my must visit list. I hope you do come and visit Langkawi Indrani, I would also love to take you to visit the Indian temples here so you can explain them to me. Such a great idea Vanessa to write an article like this as rain so often puts people on the backfoot, especially during periods of monsoonal weather. Malaysia is just so full of unique places and each one different from the others!
The upside-down house is just such a unique attraction. I would love to visit! Those photos are so crazy! Thanks Paige! And yes, Malaysia does have many unique sightseeing options. I think you will love it. My fave thing to do during monsoon season Vanessa.
Especially in places like Thailand and Malaysia. In nice theaters. I know the government cut down on piracy by making movies so cheap. Toss on your rain slicker, hop on the motorbike and enjoy. Yes Ryan, they definitely cut down on the cheap video market in these parts.

The island looks so clean and everything so easily accessible including the beaches and all the attractions. Beaches will be quite empty and you can merrily swim as long as you want.
There won't be many jet skis to zoom by with a scaring speed. And you won't have to queue up at the restaurants to have your food. Another great advantage is the price. This is the time when the hotels start offering heavy discounts. The tour package prices as well as the car rentals also come down significantly.
However one thing to note during this period is the month of Ramadan. Being essentially a Muslim state, most islanders will fast from sunrise to sunset, leave work early and go home.
As a result many establishments and operators either close early or sometimes remain closed. September to October is the rainy season in Langkawi and this is the period which most tourists like to avoid. But the fact is even during the rainy season, it rains only for about 2 hours a day but usually in the late afternoon and at night. So you do get enough dry time and sunshine during the day about 6 to 7 hours on an average.
Due to the tropical landscape, Langkawi weather experiences a higher chance of rainfall during the months of April to October, with the rain being heaviest in September and October. While the showers are sometimes accompanied by a violent thunderstorm, the weather in Langkawi is not usually adversely affected.
Expect the sea to remain calm and the skies to clear to sunshine within a couple of hours. During the rainy season, especially between the transitional period — April and August, Langkawi is quieter but still a popular destination for visitors. Everything on the island is a lot easier to access, making it is the perfect time to avoid the queues and head to those must see attractions.
