Hi all,

can anyone recomend me a reliable bus express from cameron to KL? i googled and there are several bus services. mainly  Kurnia Bistari Express  and Unititi Express.

1) which is reliable
2) where can i buy the ticket? prefeably to buy it from penang
3) how much?
appreciate your help...

just want to check..can a kelisa drive up to gunung brinchang? i mean it can go up genting easily. Just want to make sure how steep is gunung brinchang?

I'm going cameron on august 17th and booked (haven't paid yet though) to stay at Equatorial Cameron Highland. how is that place arr? Got it at Rm 200 per night.

I'm driving up but i'm kinda blur on how to get to cameron from subang. Any guides? I remember the road roughly only.

Btw, Berinchang and tanah rata is how far arr?

can drive until watch tower?

most ppl say that CH already hot,maybe not so cold than b4..
is it true?

Well not really....On hot mth such as now or in May/June, the temp still averaging from a cool 24C during day time to 18C at nite and during monsoon in Dec, Temp is about 19C day time & a very cold 15C at nite..I did not experience any drop below 15C so far in CH...but at 15C it's really shivering at nite  and that is not even hig up as Kea farm (1600M) but in Tanah Rata (1400M)...Well I brought thermometer on most of my Highland stays.

I was told CH experience sub 10C b4..

Agreed wth Putraskyline recommendations. Actually most of the hotels are abit rundown oledi ...I hv not tried Casa De la rosa..but it's really look like a boutique opposite the golf course & nxt to CH Resort & always wth porche, ferrari outside the yard. Strawberry park although looks rundown but it's very clean & having gigantic 2 doors bathroom in their studio unit  Heritage also abit rundown but having big room & Tmnet hotspot

I hv stayed at Equatorial in 2000, and at that time (not so old) the hotel tower room is not bad clean & big & having a small heated swimming pool. Not sure those surrounding apartments (Abit rundown & some empty units) - Equatorial is frequented by Singaporean (Lotsa them there) so can't be so bad  Only dun use the hotel lobby toilets & the almost deserted food court near the main road...)

If you prefer newer hotel, try Century Pine - surprising very clean, new & big room. I stayed at the old wing b4 they upgraded the multi story hotel..my only complain is the noisy running river beside the old wing & also the very early "morning call"

I read in tripadvisor that Strawberry park is pretty run down (furniture wise and room condition. Can confirm that?

so u r saying not to try rainbow hotel huh? tried bala before? RM160 i was told by them when i called... i forgot to ask them how's their internet access in their rooms coz i need internet while i m there...

ooh.. i stayed in Smokehouse before....
very super expensive... RM 400++ per night...
nothing to shout about. food was extremely expensive.. not very nice...

Room was ok ok only.. old old dressing table, small small tv... bed with creaking sound.. ahahhaah!!!

definitely not worth for RM 400...

but the surrounding are nice... quiet... cold... not too far from town...

i think i m goin for bala next tues with my gf... hopefully it will be a good and peaceful stay... we are goin there on a small budget... staying 4 days & 3 nites...

called them jus now... they sounded so monotonous when i was making my reservation...

i chose bala mainly coz it looks quiet thus should be free from noise pollution and slightly cleaner air...

which hotel to stay than since so many negative views but have to base on my budget also..

my budget is below RM 200 since almost all the cheap hotel is.

my requirement is simple and that is must have fan, no mosque, quiet ,relaxing and nice greenery landscape.

what hotel will that be?

Thx stimix.

For WaterCrest Valley, you definately came across it if you drive from Triangkap to Brinchang. The set is pretty value for your money. We took the RM40 with 4 course (fry waterrest, soup, haruan fish, omllete)

Well Kea Farm as usual crowded as you approached from both direction. Watch out when you drive.

Staying at Dhalia along the main road is pretty noisy. As you can heard the car zooming uphill to brinchang from Tanah Rata. And the car park is insufficient at Dahlia, come back early else you end up park outside.

Moving up to brinchang from Dhalia you notice Straberry Park Resort which is 10 mins drive from mainroad and we did some discovery there, well to my surprise i should have book this instead of Dahlia. The surrounding is ambient and very suitable for relaxation, just like you visit europe!!!.

At Tanah Rata, Century or Heritage seem to be a good choice for place to overnight,

One thing i found on the shopping for vegetables, watchout some stall at Kea Farm selling rotten vege...you need some sort of experiences in selecting.
First Time visiting Pasar Malam at Brinchang, two rows strech along the main road. The stall mostly sell straberry and corn(mutiara) and i found the kuih kak is not tsaty but smell good, satay is okie...while the steam ubi is nice during cold evening.

After all the wether still is the main attraction for Cameron.

Here is the exact location of the restaurant & few familair landmarks:


BTW, it's only value for money if u are in big group but if small group...very expensive!! Taste so-so only lah except it's cook using conventional charcoal wok

this is a one way road up ? scary la , its difficult to climb?

hi, i have few questions wanna ask regarding transportation to CH
1)if i were to take express bus up CH from kl, does the driver sped and drive recklessly up the hill and down the hill?
2)and will the bus ticket fully booked during raya?

thanks mate..planning a trip up with few mates..

also, i read from other resources that OK Tuck steamboat is good and value for money. is this correct info?

i'll be staying at Brinchang area, and i've gathered from this forum that it's a bad idea (traffic and high priced food) ... oops!  but i choose it for convenience this time 

Thursday night got pasar malam or not?

I plan to go there on Thursday before deepavali. Just dont wanna go on weekend due to peak rates hotel. Hope got Psar malam. Their pasar malam dont have fixed day eh nowadays?

When I make reservation on the hotel, the representatives told me that Cameron are having thunderstorm/rain occasionally. Btw I will go 25-27 Oct 08.
