Today is another early early start. Today’s destination was Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and we needed to reach the base by 8 am sharp. That meant morning call at 6am, breakfast at 6.15 am and leaving the hotel by 7 am. Excited for the day ahead, especially excited to finally see snow (or so we thought).

This morning, we officially set off for Lijiang, with a stopover in Dali along the way.
In my previous post, I shared the pros of booking a tour package. Now, let’s talk about one of the cons as quoted by my hubby being “herded around like cows/sheep.”
Wake up call is set at a specific time, you have to be down for breakfast by a set time, and be ready to leave the hotel for the next destination by a set time. It’s like clockwork… Move, move, move. Go, go, go.

!
To continue on the tradition of well documented solo motorcycle road trips, I decided to embark on another endeavor in the spirit of motorcycling. I got a Honda Forza 350 🛵 in SG this time (after riding it in the northern Thailand trip two years back), found I like it a lot. So, since it’s the National day long weekend, so what else I can do to celebrate the birthday of my beloved nation of Singapore then to ride to Betong Thailand through a different border? 🫨🫨

Nestled North and South of Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Melaka respectively are both two of the most well-known cities in Malaysia along with Penang. One surrounded by mountains and the other an UNESCO World Heritage listing. Here’s what we did during our 1 night stayovers in both Ipoh and Melaka

Located on the coast of Southern Thailand, Pak Bara is everything you wouldn’t expect from Thailand. Nicknamed the “Sleepy Town”, Pak Bara is a transport hub and for most, a one night stay before leaving for Koh Lipe, Koh Tarutao etc. Although it’s a small town often overlooked, most people you ask will tell you it exudes a certain… charm to it. Here’s what we did during our one-night stopover in Pak Bara

Located 800-1600m above sea level, Cameron Highlands is located just off Kuala Lumpur, home to waterfalls, gardens, tea plantations and organic vegetable hotpots (We’ll get back to that.)
A much more calming alternative to Genting Highlands, most of Cameron Highlands is situated in the mist-covered mountains, ensuring that you are almost always cool. Here’s what we did in our 3 days 2 nights stay in Cameron Highlands
