Bukit Fraser & Cameron Highland - Malaysia- Day 1 MY FIRST EVER BLOG

-
I have always been enthusiastic to draw a plan and pack off to the next adventure. This was another such weekend getaway with mates that engraved stunning memories for time to come. It was't my first time heading to Cameron Highland but for those who face the heat of tropical Malaysia on a daily basis love the sweet cool escape of alluring hills and strawberry farms. So began the journey, we chose to drive as it would give us the freedom to explore every nook and corner and not stick to a travel itinerary. On the way to Cameron Highland lay one of the most beautiful waterfalls in Malaysia "Chilling Waterfall" which was our first pit stop after a 3 hours drive from Bandar Sunway. I shall allow the pictures to speak for themselves.

Scenic Drive to Bukit Fraser 

Sungai Selangor Dam

 A quick tip rm 1 charge for entrance fees to the fall. I would suggest you get waterproof shoes you may have to cross rivers in order to reach the fall itself. Carry plenty of water and even food for a picnic. The water is cool and absolutely wipes off any tiredness that you may face. Warning the flow of water is fast and a sturdy grip is necessary to avoid your slippers or even you from flowing down the river.




 After a quick dip in the waterfall we decided to wrap it up and head towards Bukit Fraser as it was getting quite late. We were welcomed with fresh air and cool temperature to a small town like area and some touristy photography spots.



As we wanted to reach Cameron Highland before sunset we decided to have some refreshments and get ready for a 3 hour drive. Fortunately we were able to sip in the beautiful sunset on the way and the road was absolutely long,winding and twinkled with strawberry farms on either end. 

We stayed at the "Hill View Inn" rm 139 for a triple bedroom!

I hope you enjoyed this blog content. Be sure to check out upcoming daily blogs on various destinations in Malaysia for quick escapades.

Cheers!

Now there are several activities in Penang ranging from museum visits to beach activities its easy to loose track of time with so much to do. But some activities are an absolute must to capture the essence of Penang and its proud heritage. In 2008 Penang was designated as a UNESCO world heritage centre . The untouched buildings speak volumes of history showcasing local architecture  and design. There's  a mix of old and new unravelling a unique culture pot. Source: All About World Heritage Sites We decided to explore Penang national park. There are several trekking options in this park to explore the entire area and if you rather not walk there's a sea option via boat to get you to different areas of the park. Our itinerary  included monkey beach and turtle sanctuary looked after by a local family. The package cost MYR 200 ($50) which is pretty decent as we were about 7 people. The weather was extremely hot hence keep yourself hydrated and use the loo before going on

Thailand's capital Bangkok is known as a go to place for quick escapades, its ornate shrines and vibrant streets are nothing less than extraordinary. The city is buzzing and fast paced filled with bustling tourists and localities  selling exquisite Thai cuisine on the streets. If you want to truly experience Thai culture hop on a tuk-tuk and go around the city taking in the allure of Thai  streets and devouring scrumptious  food. In this blog I shall share my experience  on my first day there, the good and the bad with accommodation  and cruise details. The most fun I have had getting around the city.   Checked in at JW Marriot Bangkok My family and I were looking for a more casual/leisure trip this time around thus we decided to splurge and stay at a more high end and excellence guaranteed hotel. True to its standards the hotel services were excellent and each room provided fantastic view of the city scape which is so very important whilst choosing a hotel. We did n

Floating Market & Wat Trimitir Samphanthawong Temple ~ Bangkok ~ Thailand

When in Bangkok one of the most raved about and culturally unique activity is hands down taking a cruise at the Floating Market.This has been on my bucket list for awhile now and it was thrilling to experience authentic local culture in an epic long tailed boat.The reason we chose Damnoen Saduak floating market was due to convenience despite that the traffic contributes to an almost 2 hour journey (110 km)from the main city of Bangkok to Damnoen Saduak which is located in the Ratchaburi Province. I do not mind a long drive as it allows me to get a glimpse of local culture and practices and what makes the city so unique. To avoid traffic both on land and in the canal I would suggest you leave early in the morning. Now was soon as we stepped off our van we were greeted by a strong smell of incense and jasmine. Immediately various groups providing packages shall pounce on you and you need to be extremely careful whilst dealing with them. As the prices mentioned are going
