I think winter in HK/Shenzhen in November (I been there in winter before) is around 15 but there is strong chilly wind blowing making the temperature feel like 10. Then at night the chilly wind become colder and the temperature drop further to maybe 10. So I don't think its similar to HK/Shenzhen kind of temperature although its less cold in HK compared to Shenzhen in November.

Btw, the weather did increase a lot because there is no more cold air in CH at night and I stay in Strawberry Park Apartment in Tanah Rata and the jam is so terrible like you say.

What to do commercialization eat up the steamboat restaurant too.

Early Dec 2008, in HK, Shenzhen & Macau.. Yes I too experienced 14C.. so it's the same feeling early Morning in Cameron at 15.3C that I took-lah.. I also experienced strong wind in CH many times esp at nite.. chilling cold just like you said in HK smile.gif ..The only problem, was, when you up there, there was no strong wind.. just like what I experienced days ago..also no strong wind.. That was why temperature during sunny daytime can be as high as 27C but averaging 23C indoor. and at night without rain & wind, temperature at 19 to 21C is common for years now

But if raining cats & dogs, The daytime CH weather is constatntly ~ 17-19C daytime and at night expecting 14-15C and Midnight till early Morning should be ~ 13C from my many trips there biggrin.gif

Don't just concentrate on Brinchang-lah.. It's been years likedat and worsen wth the opening of Gua Musang Spg Pulai road 7 now Raub-Ringlet bypass.. Wth these 2 new roads.. Now ppl from East Coast also using CH as overnite stay b4 continue to western side.. and imargine the jam esp on the newer road. Lucky due to the narrow, slower lorries & chances of landslides, the old road now getting quiet... Good liao haha...

Only newbies still sked using Tapah-Ringlet road..

Anyone tried driving a viva up?

I drove my father-in law kancil 15yrs ago up to Genting which the gradient even steeper than CH road...sumore 5 of us inc my baby still in my waifu stomach that time biggrin.gif ....Well no problem at all and infact more powerful than my wira 1.5auto on the same gradient..haha..bcos that kancil manual gearbox blush.gif

If you use Tapah-CH way, the road are more winding and therefore gradient is not so steep and less power needed ..Using Spg Pulai-CH wth less winding road so more power needed bcos certain location very steep....anyway not as bad as the steepest part of Genting near the big hanging rock haha

Christmas week and you yet to book not easy man... Most resorts/ apartments most probably no more room by now dy.. but you still can try your luck.. Stay in Tanah Rata for much quieter and peacefull environment rathe than petrol fume & traffic noises of Brinchang.

Try calling father guesthouse (They just move to Maybank side and bigger and better building.. Otherwise try KRS Guesthouse

Another try is on Groupon.if I not mistaken agoda hv hidden charge compare to groupon.
*
Groupon is just offering cheap ground arrangement which include hotel but not really a booking website where you can choose whatever hotel to your budget & liking. Groupon.. They fixed the hotel to their liking & not your liking smile.gif

Those booking websites such as booking.com, asiarooms & also agoda, all having the same hidden charges esp those hotels imposed the charges. However they will displayed those hidden charges before payment and you still can see the Handling & tax fee for sure.. just like Air Asia. Anyway, certain destination of agoda is without those charges..one of them -Australia smile.gif

hey pls share with us how's the cameron weather like. I've checked the weather apps everyday, always put thunderstorm like heavy rain sad.gif

even during normal days, for sure you will experience rains during the Evening smile.gif Just check the overall weather in M'sia. If KL/Ipoh/Kuantan also raining everyday, expecting the same in CH. If KL/Ipoh/Kuantan very dry & sunny..less chances of raining there although you will still face slight rain in the evening

Need advise. Planning a trip to CH on Friday, Jul 5th. I assume traffic would be ok travelling from Simpang Pulai.

Now i need a decent hotel with walking distant to Brinchang night market. I noticed most the recommendable hotel like Parkland, Kowloon does not have a lift which is a serious problem for my aging parents.

Parking i assume is ok on a Friday.

So i need 2 rooms at the average price of RM150 each with lift and walking distant to Brinchang night market.

Actually traffic is the worse if using Spg Pulai biggrin.gif .Using Tapah way much less traffic

Even Friday? Cant help cos i'll be staying at Ipoh on Thursday and proceed to CH from Ipoh thru Simpang Pulai.

So any recommendation on the hotels?

Ok-lah on Friday & since you're comuing from Ipoh, OK too. Hotel? I prefer those in Tanah Rata than the noisy brinchang. Tanah Rata is more relaxing. Lotsa budget hotels there too.. My recommendation - Father's guest house
