After we had checked-in, dropped our suitcase and freshened up, we left to our little shopping spree.
Yes, Tioman is a duty-free island! There were a number of duty-free shops right along the main road of Tekek Village and the Vision Commerce store is the island's largest duty-free shop, where Ralph bought some beer and a few boxes of cigars.
Here, you can get Carlsberg at RM2.50 per can (325ml) or Tiger Beer at RM2.70 per can (325ml). The price is cheaper than a cup of instant noodle on the island and soft drinks are sold at almost the same price as beer! This is why you'll hear a saying among the local that "drinking alcoholic beverages is cheaper than drinking water". 
Too bad, I don't like and I don't drink alcohol. 
A can of Heineken (500ml) cost RM4.
Cigarettes in cartons
But then again, don't expect anything more than tobacco and alcohol when it comes to duty-free good like those you can find in Langkawi such as perfume, cosmetics, leather goods, sports gear and more!
