tanjong rhu is malaysian owned right ? well my hubby only into international resort... and that being the one opp tanjong rhu but i am not willing to pay that price cos at that price or add somemore i can go other location which offer much better one

Yes, Tanjung Rhu is owned by the former chairman of MAS or something like that. The guy owns the whole stretch of beach and used a portion for the resort. Another section he is kind enough to open to public but limits the no of visitors each day. The beach at Tanjung Rhu is beautiful, when you look out, you only see the sea and sky and islets. At the beach of the Four Seasons next door, you see a cement plant when you look out at the sea from the beach. So doesn't mean Int'l chain will be better. Frankly, if you own a large part of the area, you'll definitely keep the best for your own resort, and you will get the best when you have connections in Malaysia and has first mover advantage.

Here are some photos of the beach at Tanjung Rhu.

yes agreed that usa and europe is the one ...but we just went germany in august so not keen to go back that area so soon ...

USA is totally different from Europe lah. I went Central Europe in June. Dec, I'm going Orlando, Florida. They are a world apart. Also different countries in Europe are diff. I've been going Europe every year for the past 5 years at least and have not repeated any cities yet. There are still many places that I have not been. Next on my bucket list will be Northern Europe, Russia, Portugal and the River Rhine area.

actually i have been to Aust before frankly speaking i find them quite bored so not keen that why i have run out of places to go

Still have many places in the world to visit lah. How to run out of places to go? Try Egypt. We went Egypt in Dec when DD was only 3.5. Weather was cool and DD till today still remember the pyramids and sphinx and camel ride.

Even though this year's Orlando trip is my 3rd trip to US, I still can't say I have seen everything. Each trip I still find new places to visit. If you like cold, Alaska is wonderful. The many national parks in the US are beautiful too.

Just look around and i'm sure you'll still be able to find wonderful places to go

i also dwelling where to go for holiday


my DS will be 2 yrs coming nov but no idea where to go

i have checked with agency for package tour and realised his package fare is only 300 cheaper than adult fare and issue is he doesnt have a separate bed and he doesnt eat most of the thing provided on the tour

so thinking where can i DIY to ...

been to hK, bintan and Germany earlier of the year already

any suggestion of a DIY trip ?

Hello,

Yes, a DIY & Free and Easy trip with a 2 year old would be perfect for the pocket ........

How about going to Bangkok - 2.5hour flight ?

Try flying out before Nov school holidays, avoiding the crowd.

There are many budget airlines flying Bangkok, cheapest airlines costs about $220 ( round trip ).

Have fun planning.

Cheers !!

Aussie too hot? Then head over to the Scandic countries. Travel all the way to Rovaniemi and visit Santa Claus in Lapland. Send a postcard to yourself at the Santa Claus village post office and receive it next year. Go on a snowmobile, a husky sledge, a Ice Breaker or try your hand at ice fishing… And get a stamp in your passport for being in the Artic Circle. And if you are lucky, maybe able to catch the Northern Lights display.


Nice but it’s freezing. One memorable experience was to stay in a log cabin facing a frozen lake and we have to start our own fire when we return to the cabin in the evening.

And try their reindeer meat. It’s yummy!

This is a great suggestion!! Esp since ptb7476 and her family like cold.
i saw a package for this with stay at the icehotel. For 5 of us it will cost $50k!! I told DH that if we do this, it'll be without the kids. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: But i doubt we'll ever do it since we both don't like extreme cold. Even when we did Alaska, we did it in June

:shock: 50k! Must be everything premium.
We did it F&E and only stay in log cabins Cant afford premium hotels.
We spent X'mas in Rovaniemi. Only 3 nites. We travelled from Sweden to Finland on an 12-hour overnite ferry. Toured Helsinki, then hop on a overnite sleeper train to Lapland. Quite an experience. Save 2 hotel nites

Yah, that travel agent always very ex but their quality is always first class. It is a Northern Light package includes Icehotel, dogsled transfers etc. If we can bring ourselves to go despite the cold, I'll surely ask you how to do it cheaper :evil:

Dnls_mum,

Will be happy to help

ptb7476,
2 more cold countries for your consideration:
Canada - I enjoyed my trip which take us from Vancouver to the Rocky Mountains. Stunning scenery. Most memorable was the glacier n sulphur mountain visits. Banff n Lake Louis - so pretty.

Scotland - was there this June. Wish I had more time n $$. If u r a Harry Potter fan, must travel on the Jacobite steam train n visit the Alnwick Castle. The Scottish highlands are beautiful.

Bebebub,
Can I check whether you did the Rockies in June or Dec? Did you drive or take a train. I was considering the train but a Canadian couple from Calgary, whom we met on our recent trip to Europe, says that drive is better.
