Travel : Tioman August 2012

went to Tioman during the season of raya. and i don't recommand it. lol~ all the malay food places are closed, no ramly! =< oh wells. 

truth is, i've been to Tioman lots of times, and i googled reviews on Tioman and some i feel didn't do justice to it. 

there are many resorts on the island and i've been to a couple over the years, maybe just a quick summary on those that i've been to?

Paya Beach: been there the most number of times because it's more affordable and tourist friendly as in food wise and some touristy shopping. duty free alcohol is available on most islands so i'm not counting that in. Beach wise, over a 100m long? dunno how to guage but not too bad, snorkelling is good, there's some rocks within swimming distance and if you're lucky u can spot the resident sea turtle feeding there. I've seen stingrays there too. but that's off the reef, get a strong swimmer to accompany you if you are not very confident in the waters. There rock falls behind the resort also, so can do abit of trekking.

Panuba: it's a very short beach with only one resort, the panuba Inn, found it by chance during a travel fair and  that i manage to book it, and afterwards i lost the contact. whoops. anyway, think they only accept 4pax min per booking. The adventure then was that u can actually trek to another beach, call the ABC beach, the trek was quite fun, =) like jumping down the huge rocks and stuff. keke.

alright, enough babbling, in short, Tioman is my special place <3 p="p">

ahgirl went on this trip with me too. =D

As it was the Raya period, there are stalls set up across the road selling some kueh and stuff.
