Malaysia - Tioman

Tioman is a paradise for snorkeling, scuba diving or just for relaxation. The budget for the trip can be quite little. I think S$300 should be more than sufficient for a 4-5 days stay, inclusive of transport. Unless you go for scuba diving, then maybe that is not sufficient. Its water is so clear and clean that we can see the seabed in shallow waters. Sometimes, you would be able to see stingrays, fishes or even mini-sharks swimming below your boat at certain parts of the island. Due to its mountainous nature, the island is not fully accessible by roads. Hence, there is a need to take boats to the other side of the island. I'm not sure if it is legal or not, but there is a beach where some female tourists go topless. Maybe the guys can try their luck there hor. haha. But if you kena caught, then it is not my problem.

Picture 2 - "Demon Hill"
Remember "Journey to the West"? Are we at the white bone demon's territory? Majiam like a demon hill hor........

Picture 3 & 4 - This is how the inland looks like. It is mountainous mainly in the middle of the island. Hence, human activities are located at the fringe of the island along the coast. But there is a nature trail and waterfall deep uphill inside the jungle. If you are the type who likes hiking and are not afraid of mosquitoes, that is a great experience definitely.
