Jungle Survival Course
  • Tip Rating:
  • A jungle survival course will really show you what exactly you are capable of, and will also teach you a number of things about the jungle and country you are living in. It will also take out all your inhibitions and make you change how you view your life.

    Despite finding it really hard, i felt so glad i did it afterwards, and i felt proud that i could say to everyone back home what i did..... and i would do it again....if given the opportunity :D

    jungle boots (buy them on route), a change of clothes....(you're only allowed one!!)...a camera with spare bateries!! and ul be given rations by the bandit leader :D

    Sungai Petani - Cinta Sayang Golf & Country Resort
  • Tip Rating:
  • Just at the northern part of Sungai Petani, about 15 minutes drive from the main trunk road is Cinta Sayang Golf & Country Resort for your golfing delight.

    There are also other activities like swimming, archery, squash and line dancing and of course dining.

    A new land and water theme park has just opened in December. There are two giant slides but it is hot and good to avoid bad sun burn.

    Sungai Petani is a good hour drive from Penang. A limousine taxi from Penang International Airport cost a standard RM90 and 50% surcharge after midnight.

    In Malay, "Cinta Sayang" means love and affection. So it is great day for golfing and family and children activities.

    4-Wheeling
  • Tip Rating:
  • 4-Wheeling is getting more popular among the yuppies. Seem like every family own a 4WD.

    Tracks with various difficult levels found throughout the country sides.

    Winches & Mud tires are "must have" for tough tracks crossing national parks & logging tracks. Other essential such as Air-Locker, Turbo-charging, snorkels, good suspensions will depend very much on disposable income & seriousness towards this sport.

    Consult you tour leader for all the essentials.

    If you are happen to own or rent a mean, off-road worthy 4WD machine during your stay in Malaysia. You will find Malaysia a 4-wheeling heaven. Some world toughest treks such as Jeli-Cameron, Bekok-Kg. Peta trails are capable to kill any stock 4WD machine.

    These tough trails that pass through national parks are not for the meek, you've been warned!!

    - Off-road worthy 4WD (no stock machine pls!!)
    - Winches (a must)
    - Hoe & other offroad preparation
    - Mud Tires
    - Good suspension system
    - Turbo Charged (preferred)
    - Snookle (Optional)
    - Air Locker (plus point)

    All Terrain Vehicles (ATV)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Having an ATV in Malaysia can be quite fun. Opportunities to play on beaches & bushes are abundant.

    Just observe some safety measure when you're doing ATV.

    Weekend Bikers
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is what we do when we have few hours between studies or over the weekend. We will ride to nearby dams, beaches and hills to restore our beautiful minds.

    Hanging out!!!
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is a typical scene for every live aboard dive trip that we had. Beers, cig & some grass are just some of the pastime & naughty thing that we do when we’re few nautical miles from all authorities.

    This picture is to remember my late dive instructor (1st from the left) whom was killed in his biking hobby.

    A Sports Destination...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Malaysia is one of the sports destinations in the world today !
    La Tour de Langkawi,
    Formula One Grand Prix,
    Sea Games,
    Golf Tournaments,
    Badminton Tournaments,
    Commonwealth Games,
    etc.
    A lot to mention here but I know some people might have known Malaysia from the sports events that Malaysia has held in the past.

    Sailing and jetskiing
    Malacca is a great place to sail because of the buffers and had wonderful space for jet-skiing.

    If you sail along the West Coast of Malaysia - you can go along the whole coast or start from Singapore and work up to Thailand! Or you can rent the boats in Singapore.
