Krabi Day 07 & 08 - Railay Lagoon & Phi Phi Island

I woke up pretty early that day, so after purchasing two cans of Birdee robusta coffee, I made my way over to West Railay to pass the time. There are several ways to get across with most of them passing through alleys and paths until they merge with Walking Street.

Mount Bunga Buah

We set off early in the morning to the small town of Goh Tong Jaya, which is a satellite town of Genting named after the former chairman of the Genting Group. We gathered at the 'Nasi Kandar Genting' mamak shop just next to the Seri Malaysia Hotel at 08:00, where we stocked up on some Nasi Lemak for breakfast as well as bottles of water to sustain us throughout the trek. Before we go on, please jot down the Read more

Saga Hill & Waterfall

Saga Hill was a pretty straightforward trek compared to almost everything else that I had done before. Despite the pace being very slow as the fairly large group had a lot of beginners, the peak was reached with roughly a half hour of steady trekking. The trail up to the peak lacked a view however but due to the low level of difficulty and its proximity to the city center, it is optimal for those who are either new to trekking Read more

Mount Nuang (Kuala Pangsoon)

The group rose bright and early for the long drive to Kuala Pangsoon in Ulu Langat which lay on the east side of the state of Selangor. The trail for the trek up to the summit of Mount Nuang, which is one of the highest mountains in Selangor, began just before the Sungai Langat Dam at GPS coordinates '3.217420, 101.883090'. Before we go on, please jot down the numbers that are listed below. If you do see any Read more
