Le Khaokob Cave 龙宫洞@ Trang, Thailand

Le Khaokob in Trang, ("Le" means Cave in Thai) Southern Thailand is one of the must-visit places if you are into Eco-Tourism or simply a cave lover. This cave has to be one of the most interesting cave I ever visited and the most unforgettable experience.
如果去泰国不能错过东炎宫,那么去董里就千万不能错过龙宫洞了。如果你是喜爱大自然,爱远离大城市的话,泰国南部绝对是你不能错过的地方。这里还没有成为旅游胜地,那里也鲜少泰国人懂英文,算是个很内陆的地方。龙宫洞是我去过那么多个山洞中,最好玩最刺激的其中一个山洞。
It located in the Trang Province and a very small area here, the nearest town is Hat Yai. This place is also located alone the way from Hat Yai to Krabi so for those driving, it would be easy to just stop over here.
龙宫洞距离董里镇大概45分钟的车程,也Hat Yai过去的话也不算太远。由于龙宫洞在那一带算是挺有名的,即使迷路了,随便找个路人问问也可以找到正确的指示。

Khaokob cave is a network of caves at the base of a mountain and is well known for the stalactitites and stalagmites. We pay 300baht for a boat that comes with a guide and navigator. They will guide us into the first set of caves and we are asked to lie on our back to prevent our head from bumping into the low ceiling which is filled with interesting rock formations.
龙宫洞是以钟乳石和石笋闻名。一艘船只要泰币300块,还包括了两名“导游”。一进去不久后,导游就要求我们躺下来,以防万一被钟乳石敲到头,可见山洞里真的很矮。不到5分钟,我们就抵达了第一站。








We get to a drop off point and then the guide takes us in with a flashlight and points out all the interesting rock formations. However, the most thrilling and exciting part of the tour is when our get back on the boat and go through the narrow cave where the roof is just a hair's breadth away from your face and the navigator is pushing the boat by clutching on to the roof. The passage is so narrow that a minimum of 5 people need to be on the boat in order to prevent it from getting stuck. Seeing the rock formations pass inches from your face is quite exhilarating and at times it feels like the overhanging rock is going to smash onto your face. If you are a bit of a thrill seeker (and do not suffer from claustrophobia) this one is definitely for you!
到底第一站后, 其中一位导游会下船带我们参观山洞里的钟乳石。每次看到钟乳石就有一种莫名的恐惧感,所以在第一站的时候完全就是慌神到一个不行,走完拍完后就第一个跳回船上。一上船,就听到导游说带我们去龙宫洞。奇怪啊!刚才那一站难道不是龙宫洞吗?!然后导游就开始将我们“整齐地排好”,说等下山洞里非常狭小,一定要完全平躺才可以过。果然不久后我们就进入到一个极度狭小的山洞,刚刚好一艘小船可以过而已。壁上的钟乳石和我的鼻子也距离不到5cm, 钟乳石上的山水也不断滴到脸上。(患有幽闭恐惧症的朋友不鼓励进入龙宫洞)







As you can see from my pictures, there weren't any lamps anymore and it got pretty dark. This was becoming quite intense. The guides were lying down too now, pushing the canoe forward with their hands along the ceiling which basically left me less space than if I had been buried alive in a coffin - less then 5cm certainly. My mom was so nervous and non stop screaming all way long. The guide was amazing! He just kept talking, made jokes, repeated that he was taking care of us here and pretended to nearly get hit by the odd bit of ceiling hanging into our faces.
从照片里可以看得出山洞里到底有多狭窄了吧?一路上,山洞里都没有照明灯,只有导游手中那一把小小的手电筒,蛮刺激的!导游也是躺着的,还要在前后帮我们推船,还要照顾我们的脸 xDD 整个过程,感觉自己像是躺在棺木里一样 (Choi!) 最不冷静的人就是我妈妈了,不知道她哪里来的力气狂尖叫,一直喊 :“my face! my face!!!”。导游也很好也有耐心,整个过程都在和我们交谈,开玩笑,一直说他会照顾我们,不用担心之类安抚的话。

We tipped the guides for their efforts. Last but not least, this is our group photo lol. It was a great way to start out holiday in Trang. This is a recommended place to visit in Trang, Thailand.
下船之后妈妈还给了两位导游一人一个红包。最后当然少不了大合照啦!龙宫洞真的是大家来到董里后万万不能错过的地方!

Chulia Heritage Hotel @George Town, Penang

Chulia Heritage Hotel located in the middle of Chulia Street, extremely tricky to find the exact location since the is "hidden"right behind the busy street. We spent half an hour looking for it cuz my papago GPS lost also. Extremely GPS pun sesat @@
Chulia Heritage Hotel就坐落在Chulia街,真的如其他博客所说的难找!因为它刚好隐藏在繁忙的街道后面。我们花了半个多钟头才找到它,连GPS都迷路了!实实在在的GPS pun sesat!


Check in process is quite fast, the staff is friendly and helpful. Too bad the day we checked in already fully booked and we unable to upgrade or downgrade our room since one of our member fall sick suddenly.
Check in 手续还算蛮快的,员工也很友善。可惜的是当天所有的房间已满,所以我们没有办法更换房间。我们原本是3人行的,其中一个人病倒了,所以只剩下两个人。两个人住三个人的房间还蛮奇怪的。
It looks really great when you walk in. A very plush lobby and wide corridors, all with white shiny  large tiles. But the room are not so flash. Our room was very small, the only furniture in the room other than the bed and small wardrobe was two tiny bedside table.  And the window of our room unable to close it back after we open it, still wondering what's the problem.
走进去的第一感觉满好的!大厅和通道很宽敞,四周都刷上了白漆。不过,房间就没有中庭看起来那么赞了。房间基本很小,除了床还有衣橱之外,还有两张小桌子。房间内的窗口开了之后居然还没有办法关上,搞得我们还要大费周章地找员工来关窗。



Small facilities provided on the corridor.
走廊外的小小设备。
 

Photos of the room are very deceiving, the room is actually quite disappointing and the walls are really thin, could hear others chatting and their footsteps very clear. Actually Chulia Heritage Hotel is renovated from an old white coloured building. The room of 1st floor is made of wood and I can still smell the strong annoying door of the paint. 
照骗果然是照骗!房间真的没有网络上看的那么美,墙壁也很薄,在房间内还可以很清楚滴听到走廊外的交谈声和脚步声。其实Chulia Heritage Hotel是由一栋旧房子改建而成(只是刷上白漆而已)1楼应该是该油漆,所以油漆味还蛮重一下的。

We only get 1 keycard for each room and it's not convenient for us. So, the services consider not flexible.
我们一个房间两个人却只有一张房间卡,真的很不方便。所以,服务不算太好吧?不够人性化。



1st floor is for share bathroom. The shower room design is disaster, the shower head is fixed and located right in front of the toilet bowl and water tap. The space is small and your item will get wet even you just move a lil bit.
1楼是共享浴室。浴室的设计不太好,蓬蓬头就在马桶的正上方和洗手盆的右上方。空间也不是很大,所以东西很容易被弄湿。

If noise is not issue, then this would be a good place to stay.
如果这里的隔音效果再好一点的话,那会是一个蛮好的落脚处的

Legoland@ Nusajaya, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Outstanding post again!!  Class canceled today so I can update my Legoland Experience. It's my 1st time to been Legoland, so looking forward cuz my most of my frenz been there and come back and told me that Legoland was amazing!!
Here we go!
又是一篇欠了几百年的文章。刚好今天的课取消了,所以可以上来更新一下下,分享上几月小编在Legoland的经验。这是我第一次去Legoland,身边好多朋友去了回来,给的评价还不错,所以这一次有机会去,还真的很期待哇!

I got the tickets!! *selca*
自拍!乐高乐园的入门票哦!
The sunlight is too dazzle and causing us can't even opened our eyes! A warm regard here: remember to bring ur sunglasses, apply thick sunblock/suncream/sunspray(whatever prevent your from becoming Africa black)  and do remember wearing long sleeve shirt/ long pant/ cap. Wearing singlet and shot pant like me was absolutely wrong!!!!
可能是因为刚开发没有什么树木的关系吧?那里的太阳特别热情,热得我们连眼睛都睁不开。在这里温馨提醒一下,记得带太阳眼镜,防晒油,长袖长裤(如果不怕被晒黑的话是可以忽略这一句的xD) 帽子。象我这样,穿短裤背心根本就是大错特错啊!幸好小编很容易白回来。
We were amazed by all the structures constructed using little Lego bricks! COOL!! How they did this?
就连小小的装饰物都是用Lego做成的!好厉害哇!在那里其实有很多小事物值得去留意的。
Love this little adorable tiger, it's the one of the character in 4D MOVIE!!
还有这一只可爱的老虎,是Lego 4D电影里的其中一个角色。

We had a lot of fun and playing the rides. Live like an adult and play like a child xD Roller coaster is thrilling, but to those who have heights fear, might find it boring as there aren't much to play. But those with kids can consider making a trip here, they will enjoy and love it to max like me xD 
当然,在那里不是只有乐高的!云霄飞车是游乐园里最不能错过的游戏啊!有惧高症的朋友最好不要尝试,尤其是二人的云霄飞车!根本就是快得快把你甩出去,尤其是在转弯处。可是没有惧高的话,这一定会是你的最爱啊!
Never miss out any games are related to water especially in this scorching hot weather!! But we should bring along my raincoat while we are expected to play with water. This tactic is to do the log fume ride early on as you will get wet!!! Don't forget to take off your watches and anything else you don't wish to get drenched. There are open lockers under CCTV surveillance so put it all into a back is better. Golly it was fun! We did 2 rides and was sodden but it also acted like air con for the entire day. There are body driers RM10 or you just left it under the hot sun end you will be dry :p  
在那么炎热得天气里,所有有关“水” 的游戏也是不容错过的!玩这个应该要带雨衣的,尤其是我们早就决定要玩这个的时候。这个决定会完完全全地让你湿身。玩之前,当然别忘了要将身上的不防水饰物摘下然后放在包包里,再把包包放在他们提供的储物柜。除了有管理员之外,还有全天候的CCTV看守着,很安全!至少目前为止没有听过有人投诉说东西不见。湿身后,外面就有一架”热身“机器,只需要RM10!要不然就这样任由身体在太阳下曝晒,也是很快干的。

FANTASTIC for Lego fans.
乐高粉丝的最爱哇。


Decided to take this so we have have an overview of Legoland.
逛累了,就决定去玩这个顺便吹冷气,看看整个乐高乐园的全景。


We played until 1pm and took a break for lunch at The Cafe. The staff are friendly and there are plenty of food  options that from our perspective were not reasonable. Here my lunch, RM25 I spent on this, so pricey.
一直玩到下午1点才肯休息一下下,在The Cafe吃午餐。那里的服务生都很有礼貌很亲切,唯一美中不足的是食物有点小贵,份量也有点营养不良的感觉。但是我们实在懒得走出去吃,所以也只好就地解决了。这样一份要RM25,鸡肉也少得可怜。
Miniland is the "boom"! Miniland was our last stop before we say goodbye to Legoland. Those major cities and signature buildings around the world that are made out of Legos! Salute to those who build all these out, the structure are simply magnificent and incredible! We were like mouth wide open when we looking at those buildings which look exactly like the actual ones. 
最最最最不能错过的就是Miniland了。也是我们要离开柔佛前的最后一站。所有的城市和地标都是乐高啊!(废话)真的很想把那些人找出来然后深深地向他们鞠躬!太震撼太赞了啦!!看到这个迷你城市的时候,完完全全陷入亢奋的状态。太像了!!现在就让你们看看有多象。











Need no description right? I'm looks so tiny even I'm just standing in front of KLCC which made by Legos.
这个无需要加以说明了吧?虽然这个是假的KLCC,但是站在它旁边,还是显得自己好渺小。





Mini Airport
迷你机场呢!

My dream is to been HK Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea,and Singapore Universal! By the way, Legoland is still a pretty sweet place to visit and you can easily spend better part of a day over there. I imagine the place would be look pretty cool at night too and I heard that they are going to develop more in Legoland.
我的梦想就是去一次香港迪士尼和日本东京的迪士尼海上乐园,还有新加坡的Universal Studio!!不过,乐高还是一个很不错的选择,不知不觉就花了一整天的时间在那里。我可以想像乐高乐园在晚上的美景,还有发展后的美好模样。

Good night and see you guys 
是时候要去做功课了,晚安亲们
