People who trek and sweat a lot in hot weather sometimes get painful muscle cramps in their legs, arms, or stomach. These happen because the body lacks salt.

Treatment: salt tablets may help, but drinking a teaspoon of salt in a liter of drinking water is better. Repeat once every hour until the cramps are gone. Keep calm and sit or lie down in a cool place then massage the painful parts gently.

Warning: It's suitable For experinced surfers only!!!

Panjang beach which is locally known as Pantai Panjang has pretty big waves which are really good for surfing, but be careful, it’s rarely suitable for swimming or other water sports; it’s unsafe for swimming too far out because there are strong currents in some spots.

What to do when you got stung by a Jellyfish

When you do water sports, avoid contact with these sea creatures because of their stinging tentacles – seek local advice. Dousing in vinegar will deactivate any stingers which have not “fired”. Calamin lotion, antihistamines and analgesics may reduce the reaction and relieve the pain.
