The most memorable place I ever visited was the 99 islands of Langkawi, Malaysia, my brother was sailing around the world and got stuck there, so I went out for 3 weeks and we sailed around the islands,fantastic scenery, untouched beaches and very few people except in the main town of Kuah on the only inhabited island, and they were very friendly and welcoming, a good sidenote is the place is duty free, as it's where the Malaysians, including the Royals, go for their holidays.
