BUYING BATIK FROM LANGKAWI

When I visited Langkawi a couple of weeks ago, I was informed that batik was one of THE things to buy. As the entire Langkawi Island is a duty free zone all goods sold there are exempted from government tax. Therefore this Legendary Island is a haven for the shoppers.You only need to stay in Langkawi for a minimum of 48 hours to take back home a reasonable amount of tax free goods.
My friends bought a lot of batik cloth as they told me that it is much cheaper.  Also the batik is imported from Indonesia.
