Malaysia
Malaysia is a quiet relaxed place, crammed with delicious tasty food! There are lush thick jungles, cool green highlands, full of tea plantations, Tropical island paradises, pristine beaches, old colonial towns and a sprawling modern capitol.
There is alot to see and do here and a great place to take it easy. Kuala Lumpur
The Bustling capitol of Malaysia.
there is a lot to see and do here. The big must do is the famous Patronas Towers pictured here, they are the headquarters of the Petronas petrochemical Company and are truly an impressive sight. you can pay to go up to the skybridge connecting the two towers, but i think the Menara Sky tower, offers far better views of the city. Be sure to walk around to the small park behind the towers to check out the amazing water fountain show. every hour in the evening a spectacular music, water and light show splashes in to action! Menara Sky Tower The Menara Sky Tower is a large telecoms tower in the city, it offers amazing 360 degree views of the city. It has a Glazed observation deck open until 9.30pm. There is an upper deck which for a little extra cost will see you outside giving great photo ops, this area closes at 6pm and during rain or winds, so check the weather! Batu Caves About 13km north of KL, there is a large limestone hill laced with spectacular caves and temples. It is one of the most important Hindu shrines outside India. There are yearly festivals here and is well worth going to see. Be careful of the Monkeys! Easily reached by Komuter Train from KL Sentral, costing 2RM one way. |

The Cameron Highlands.
A Cool highland getaway from the tropical heat below. Lush green rolling hills, Crammed with never ending tea plantations as far as the eye can see. With the BOH plantation (Best of Highlands) being the main attraction. Definitely worth a visit. It is free to go and walk around the plantations, you can of course go inside the factory and learn all about the history and current tea growing process. There is a "Cafe" or the Tea equivalent offering a taste of all sorts of amazing specialty teas Cameron Highlands are easily accessible by bus and minivan from loads of places around Malaysia
so you should have no problem getting here! You will most likely be staying in Tanah Rata the main town in the area. There is not a whole lot to the little town itself except places to stay and a street lined with some pretty decent restaurants and cafes. Onward TravelThailand,
There are plenty of options for travelling North in to Thailand, Train, plane boat or bus. You can catch a speed boat from Langkawi to beautiful Koh Lipe and island hop your way up to Krabi. Or there are trains and buses all the way to Bangkok. Either from KL or Butterworth (Malaysia) Connecting at Hat Yai (Thailand) If catching the speedboat from Langkawi, the boat company will bring you through emigration, and one you are stamped out of Malaysia you will all be brought to the speed boat. There is a small immigration office on Koh Lipe which you will be brought to when you arrive. Remember if you dont have a VISA already for Thailand, You will only receive 15 days Visa free on arrival at any land border. However if you fly in you will receive 30 days. We got a 3 month Visa in Kuala Lumpur before we went so we could relax and take our time island hopping up the coast and not have to worry about the Visa. |
