  • Whilst out in a Land Rover my wife claims that she saw something come in through the window of the car. We were passing by trees and it must have been on the leaves / branches.

    She thought at first it was an earwig, and tried to brush it off. It was only then she saw what it really was - with that distinctive tail !

    Thankfully it was all over so quickly it carried on out of the rear window, which was also thankfully open.

    Apparently if you do actually get stung, the best thing to do is to drink about 3 liters of water which dissipates the affect of the venom.

    - good job she didn't see the tiger out of the other window !

  • There are about a dozen waymarked trails around Tanah Rata. Get a decent map - and don't stray off them.

    There have been several stories of tourists who have ventured off without a guide - striking out into the jungle.

    In one case in 2003 a rescue party of policeman themselves got completely lost for about a week and lived entirely off wild bananas and tree sap - glad to say all were found safe in the end.

    The waymarked trials are reasonably well signposted and nearer to town use extra guides like coloured bricks - hence the title of the tip

     Excellent hotel tip. Story of the small scorpion was frightening....I would have screamed for sure. Cameron Highlands sounds intriguing.

     Cameron Highlands has been on my to so list for awhile. Thanks for the tips on the leeches and scorpions. I may rethink that.

     Great tips on Cameron Highlands. The Old Smoke House, Boh Tea and steamboat are great experiences for me too. The windy road up there could be straightened a bit though :) SL

     A good introduction to Cameron Highlands. I was there a few years back - love that place.
