My dad lives there 6 months of the year, you get a bit of wind at the North of the island certain times of the year but you will be the only kiter there. Generally calm, humid with nothing to do.

No wind, but the ladyboys are very friendly.

Convincing almost also.

What goes on tour..........

I suggest you monitor the wind forecast for phuket and sabang/pulau weh (bandar aceh). The wind is now predominantly westerly with the occational sourtherly(sww) / northerly(nww). If theres wind on both places, theres wind in Langkawi.
sabang/pulau weh,

I also use the wind chart to check wind build ups.

Its really reliable if all these sources match.
Bring big kites.
Also, dont kite on the southern part of the island. Really gusty and not much room to launch/land (unless you do a water launch/land).
