Thanks for the advice and recommendation. We'll have 15 days in SE Asia. We'll spend the first 4 on Phuket (Hilton Acadia) and the next five at the LM Khao Lak. Therefore, we felt that Langkawi would be similar to what we've just experienced, and perhaps KK or Kuching would allow us to see something different while still being able to lounge by a pool/beach.

Not to mention that the LM KK is only a Cat 1 while the Westin Langkawi is a Cat 4...

Still trying to decide between KK and Kuching for a 5-day stay, but then again, we have plenty of time to decide before our Xmas 2009 trip.

Where would you rather spend New Year's Eve - KK or Kuching? Where would there be more tourist-friendly spots to celebrate NYE?
