Penang again!!! But I'm not tired yet. Hello again. On April 21-23, I had the opportunity to visit Penang - Cameron Highland, Malaysia with the PR team of Prince of Songkla University.
First of all, I would like to say that this post is a review of the places I visited and an exchange of photos.
After reviewing Diana Department Store, I would like to thank you for following me in large numbers. This trip, we went to see the work at USM.
It is a famous university in Malaysia. We went to Penang and then traveled to Cameron, a city with great weather.
If you are ready, follow me! Let's go!
Camera used in this trip
Canon 60D + Lens 50mm f1.8

DAY 1 // Thursday, April 21, 2016
[[ Departing from Sadao checkpoint, heading to Penang, stopping by Georgetown // Visiting USM // Staying at Georgetown City // Stopping by Gurney Market at night ]]
We started our journey early in the morning and arrived at the Sadao checkpoint around 7:30 AM with Mr. Somsak's tour group. First of all, I must say that…
The trip may not be independent because you have to follow the tour all the time, but I still want to review it. 5555 Thank you very much if you choose to
Read mine here. My reward will be beautiful photos as usual. We traveled from the checkpoint to Penang in about
3 hours, then we stopped at the first point, which was Georgetown, for about 1 hour to see the Peranakan houses, as we have been there many times before.
So I decided not to go in and asked to walk around Art Street, then stopped by China House for coffee, and then went to Lovelane.
After that, we continued our journey to USM, another interesting university in Malaysia. For those who are considering studying here, this is another place that you can consider. We also had the opportunity to visit the USM Museum, and here are some of the pictures for you to see.
This is a museum official, not Pop Pongkool.
Most of the museums are local. If you have the opportunity, you can stop by. The entrance fee is 4 RM, which is about 40 baht. After finishing our work, we headed to Gurney Mall before checking into the hotel.
The goods in the Plaza Gurney Penang shopping mall are relatively expensive this time around. They are more expensive than in Thailand. If you don't need to buy anything, it's better to check the price first. After that, we stopped for food at Gurney Drive Penang, which is next to the mall. We had local food and checked into the hotel. I apologize that the hotel is not suitable for review, so I didn't take any pictures.
DAY 2 // Friday, April 22, 2016
[[ Georgetown // Penang Hill // Stop by Cactus Point, Cameron Highlands //
Enjoy local suki at Stream Boat, Cameron // Stay at Heritage Hotel ]]
On the second day, we started our journey to Georgetown to admire the beauty of Art Street. It took us an hour to get there. We arrived early in the morning, and the cafes were not open yet. We didn't stop by most of the local shops because we had already eaten breakfast at the hotel. Let's take a look at the morning atmosphere of Georgetown Street.
After that, we headed to Penang Hill, where we unexpectedly ran into a Channel 3 film crew. Haha, I guess they must have thought they'd escaped the Thai people, only to find more of us here. ^^ After a relaxing stroll through Georgetown, we made our way to Penang Hill (although this time I didn't go up to the top).
I was only able to take a picture at the entrance. I sat there for about 20 minutes, and then the film crew arrived (we thought it might be a Malay film), but it wasn't. It was Channel 3 from our own country, haha. We came across the filming set of Nang Ai, and I recognized P'Ui Nontharee, so I secretly took a picture to share with you. Let's see who the cast members are.
We've been here for about an hour. After that, we headed to Cameron Highlands. I must say that the route was extraordinary. We had to bring a bag to prepare for vomiting. 555555 Ps. When we met the film set, we didn't bother them much. I think they must have been busy controlling the Malaysian population from interfering with the set. ^^
It took us almost 3 hours, all the way winding, by leaving Penang we used the Penang Bridge 2 (Second Penang Bridge) or another name is Sultan Abdul Halim Muadzam Shah Bridge. The Penang Bridge 2 is 24 kilometers long, 16.9 kilometers above sea level, limited to a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, which is very beautiful. After driving through Khao Wong Kot, we stopped by Kea Farm and Cactus Point, Cameron Highlands. I remember that when I arrived at this place, the weather was very cold. I could feel the fresh air 555 Really, I took some pictures to share with you.
The first place was like a mixed farm, whether it was strawberries, lavender, etc., there was nothing much, so we continued on to Cactus Point.
After that, we headed to Stream Boat, Cameron for a local sukiyaki. The scenery along the way was truly beautiful. There was a bit of traffic near the market, but overall, it was definitely worth the trip. ^^
Don't miss out on the Stream Boat Suki restaurant in Cameron. Fresh vegetables, fragrant meat, and a cool outdoor atmosphere. You really shouldn't miss it. After that, before the tour took us to the hotel, we took a walk around the area and took some pictures at night. We stayed at the Heritage Hotel. On the 3rd day, we planned to wake up early to go for a run and capture the morning atmosphere of Cameron.
DAY 3 // Saturday, April 23, 2016
[[ Morning exercise and photo shoot around the hotel // Visit Tea Farm and see the tea plantation // Visit the local market and buy souvenirs ]]
After falling asleep in a special atmosphere, I woke up very early. I have a program to run for about 7 kilometers with a camera. 55 It looks funny. There are only people looking at me on both sides of the road. They might think I'm crazy. Holding a camera and running. But well, it's been a long time since I've been here. I've got the atmosphere on both sides of the road to share with you.
The atmosphere on both sides of the road was great. There were Indian temples, rivers, and the morning atmosphere with a temperature of 19 degrees. We could breathe deeply into our lungs. Most importantly, while running, we also saw the morning life of the people in Cameron. It took about an hour to run and take photos before returning to the hotel to shower and head to the tea plantation.
Not long after leaving the hotel, we arrived at the tea plantation. It was amazing! 5555 As soon as we arrived, we met the black dog in the picture. It came up to us and was so cute, so I secretly took a picture of it (and posted it too, haha). Then we went down to take some pictures, since I didn't bring any other lenses, so I got the pictures you see. After that, we bought some tea to try. Then we headed to the local market to buy some souvenirs to take home.
The local market has a wide variety of products to choose from, including fruits, vegetables, and strawberries. Those who like local products can buy them, but don't forget to consider the time it takes to get home. The temperature in our country is different, so buying them home may cause them to spoil. I bought a lot of strawberries ^^ After that, we headed back to Hat Yai. The 2-day, 3-night trip to Malaysia is over. I still love this country. 555 Because it is convenient to travel, but this time I apologize for the lack of details because I went with a tour, but I was very impressed.
Finally, thank you all for following me to this point. My next trip that I still owe you is a review of 10 places in Songkhla that many people have never been to. I believe it will be beneficial to the people of Songkhla and help the tourism industry in Songkhla grow even more. If you like this review or not, I apologize. Please follow me on my channel.
