Perhentian, paradise on the east coast 2008-02-13 05:24:38 Malaysia is well known for many things but if you ask me, diving is probably the best known.

Perhentian is another not too spoiled by tourism islands with plenty of excellent dive spots and beautiful beaches.

Kampar, why go there? 2008-02-10 19:44:11 Unknown makes unwanted but it doesn’t always mean uninteresting! Kampar is such a place.

Golf at Damai Laut 2008-01-29 04:13:49 For some people traveling to Malaysia means beaches, diving, cultural events (Thaipusam, Chinese New Year) or even shopping. However, some travelers don’t care about all this. They want to play “the game”: golf!

Cycling to and from Krabi 2008-04-16 08:49:23 Isn’t it amazing, Thailand is a great country for cycling but most cyclist seem to prefer the north. The south is “too hot”. Nonsense, if you ask me. The south is fine to cycle, as long as you don’t go further east then Hat Yai and Yala.

Plain of jarsa and Phonsavan 2008-04-19 07:11:28 Plain of jarsa and Phonsavan in North Laos is a must see when traveling here. Unfortunately it’s a little dead end street, so to say. You need an extra 3 days at least to visit the valley. Phonsavan is the administrative center of this part of Laos. Highly recommended.
