Langkawi Craft Complex
Kompleks Kraf Langkawi
A government-run craft centre on the north coast where you can see batik, weaving, wood carving and traditional Malay crafts.
The Langkawi Craft Complex stands beside Black Sand Beach on the north coast. Set up by Malaysia's craft development agency, this large traditional-style complex houses a craft museum, an exhibition on Malay traditional weddings and a heritage museum. Its shops sell batik, rattan weaving, songket, silverware and wood carvings, and at certain times you can watch artisans at work or join a batik workshop. Admission is free, the surroundings are peaceful, and the air-conditioning makes it a good place to escape the rain or the midday heat.
