The Relaxations in Tioman!


It was after a long hectic shoot that I finally made a 3 days 2 nights stay in Paya Beach Resort, Tioman for a good relaxing time before embarking on another hectic shoot in Kuching. Took a long 7 hours drive from home to Mersing through the night to board the 7.30am ferry to Paya Village on Monday morning. We managed to check in as soon as we arrived and had our lunch at the cafe near the jetty.


Later at 2.30pm, I boarded the wooden boat with Funny, my dive master for 2 dives and 2 dives only. First stop was at Pilot's Reef and 2nd site was Tomok and both dives were just amazing as I was shown with lots of macro creatures and the reefs were just amazingly beautiful. Not to mentioned that we boarded such a big boat with just the 2 of us! *smiles*


We had a good snorkeling swim out from our resort's beach later the evening before a good bath to head out for dinner. Dinner wasn't that great *disappointed* We took a walk at the path by the beach and bought ourselves duty free beers and started phototaking sessions!

...something not to be missed in Tioman: DUTY FREE BEERS!...

We spent the next day with snorkeling trips in the choppy waters, sun bathing in the boat, walking to the other island, braving through the storm with lightnings and thunders. The next day, we boarded the 10am ferry back to Mersing and drove to Kluang for good coffee and buns at the station and back home to KL.

It was ultimately a great island getaway!
