" They greet you with a donggggg"


While it's always nice to be greeted by men dressed in traditional Malay head dress and costume, at The Andaman, these men also have another duty as you check in for the first time....to beat a large traditional drum which signals your arrival to the frontdesk.
Don't you feel strangely important already ?



Based on what the car hire guy told us earlier, I was expecting a brass gong. The kind of musical instrument used in a gamelan orchestra.
When I saw the sheer size of this drum, I went 
" Holy sheet ! That sure is one big drum "



As we walked past the musical instrument and headed for the lobby, we finally heard it.....wasn't just one donggg , cos I heard at least 4 repetitive dongs.



Location : The Andaman, Langkawi
