Capital of the same-named province, Narathiwat sits on the bank of the Bang Nara River, 1,473 km south of Bangkok by road. A particularly friendly spot, Narathiwat has the rustic charm that has disappeared from so many of the other far southern Thai provincial capitals. Although the bulk of the town is now comprised of the typical concrete egg-carton style buildings, it still has a generous helping of old wooden buildings and a few sino-portuguese shopfronts by the riverfront... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips . #oDInTH #Throwback #February2018 #Travel #Vacation #Trip #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Landscape #LandscapeArchitecture #Boat #Clouds #River #MalaysiaThailandBorder #BangNara #TakBai #Narathiwat #Thailand #SouthEastAsia #Asia (at Tak Bai) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch5iJlWvoBr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

To get the best weather, kindly visit Tinggi Island (Pulau Tinggi) in between April to September. Do not visit the island especially from December to February because monsoon winds blows strongly. You can hardly get a boat transfer to the island due to the bad tidal condition. In June and July you can get sunny days almost everyday. It simply means that you can enjoy any activities throughout the day. It’s also great for scuba diving and snorkelling as the water has a extremely high clarity. If you're travelling to this island in February, it's highly recommended for you to bring insect repellents to protect yourself from bloodsucker insects the 'sand flies' as the breeding season for this insect is from January till March. However these insects are continously available along the beach throughout any season. So be warned to take extra precautions when you're sun bathing by the beach. And do bring some medicine as there is no clinic and hospital... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips . #Throwback #February2018 #Travel #Vacation #Work #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Landscape #LandscapeArchitecture #Nature #Island #Sea #Beach #Sunset #Dusk #Clouds #CutiCutiMalaysia #VisitMalaysia #TinggiIsland #PulauTinggi #Mersing #Johor #Malaysia #PeninsularMalaysia #SoutheastAsia #Asia (at Tinggi Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH2NUo1HZ4I/?igshid=1o6z9bw7uqtfq

Tinggi Island (Pulau Tinggi) offers too much that no one can ever get bored during their stay. Located 30km off the east coast of Mersing, Pulau Tinggi is a mysterious tropical island perfect for a weekend escape from the busy city. Surrounded by clear blue water and covered by decent rainforest at the interior, this secluded island is well-known for natural beauty and serenity. And with warm and high clarity water, it is a heaven to divers and snorkelers to explore the underwater world... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips . #Throwback #February2018 #Travel #Vacation #Work #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Landscape #LandscapeArchitecture #Nature #Island #Sea #Beach #Resort #BeachLover #Clouds #CutiCutiMalaysia #VisitMalaysia #TinggiIsland #PulauTinggi #Mersing #Johor #Malaysia #PeninsularMalaysia #SoutheastAsia #Asia (at Tinggi Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHrXlTMHJCw/?igshid=701lopdtgsqt

The village of Air Papan is a seaside area with a 3 km long beach set in between the hills in Mersing District. Other than a few properties and a mosque in the village beach-side area the remainder are dotted around the area. Every 1st May there's a yearly festival known as "Pesta Air Papan" featuring cultural shows, games, food etc. Located 12KM and it's only 15 minutes driveway from city centre of Mersing... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips . #Throwback #February2018 #Travel #Vacation #Work #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Landscape #LandscapeArchitecture #Nature #Beach #Sea #Wave #Clouds #SeaShells #CutiCutiMalaysia #VisitMalaysia #PantaiAirPapan #AirPapanBeach #AirPapan #Mersing #Johor #Malaysia #PeninsularMalaysia #SoutheastAsia #Asia (at Pantai Air Papan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHf9ScLnaON/?igshid=1mrdmr2jmqjxm

When booking your Mount Kinabalu tour package, look carefully into the things that are included. Many companies will try to make their package more attractive by not including some fees, such as transport, lunch, park admission fees, and more. Don’t just look at the price. If some of the fees are not already included in your package, you might have to pay that in cash when you arrive at the park. Most tour companies will not include a porter (someone to carry your bag up and down the mountain for you), but these are available to hire from the start of the hike for a reasonable price. You’ll have to do some negotiating with the porters, but the going rate is around MYR130-220 per 10kg bag (2 years ago). You also have the option of leaving your bag in a secure locker at the Kinabalu Park HQ Reception, if you do not want to carry your entire suitcase up the mountain. This costs around MYR12++ per bag. Some packages include a certificate, but some do not. If you want to get a souvenir certificate to show you completed the hike, they cost around MYR10++...😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips . #February2018 #Travel #Vacation #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Landscape #LandscapeArchitecture #Nature #Hiking #Clouds #Peak #Summit #CutiCutiMalaysia #VisitMalaysia #UNESCO #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite #MountKinabalu #KinabaluPark #Kundasang #Ranau #Sabah #Malaysia #Borneo #SoutheastAsia #Asia (at Kinabalu Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYROoQncQl/?igshid=1m8c399i09omh

If you want to hike Mt. Kinabalu, unfortunately you cannot go independently, and you must use a tour operator. Due to safety concerns after the tragic 2015 Sabah earthquake, hikers are no longer allowed to enter the mountain without a guide. Usually, that isn’t a great thing, but this actually made us feel much safer as there were some parts of the hike towards the summit that were a bit treacherous, especially at night (more on that later). You can also no longer do a day hike, as no more day-hike permits are given at the Kinabalu Park HQ.  The only option to reach the Mount Kinabalu summit is through a 2 days 1 night tour. If you want to take your time, you can opt for a 3-day hiking package which takes you through some of the mountainside villages along the way. However, 2 days is enough to see the beauty of the Mount Kinabalu and feel the burn from the hike. Keep in mind that Kinabalu Park allots 165 climbing permits per day, so make sure you reserve your tour package in advance... 😉 #TravelInfo #TravelTips . #February2018 #Travel #Vacation #Wanderlust #GoExplore #WonderfulPlaces #InstaTravel #Landscape #LandscapeArchitecture #Nature #Hiking #Clouds #Sunset #Dusk #CutiCutiMalaysia #VisitMalaysia #UNESCO #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite #MountKinabalu #KinabaluPark #Kundasang #Ranau #Sabah #Malaysia #Borneo #SoutheastAsia #Asia (at Kinabalu Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHRzR28Hd4C/?igshid=qizsne6f2ff7
