The Story of Boh Tea

Sungai Palas Tea Estate

This is another tea plantation owned by Boh and it is located further up north from the mail plantation. A definite must on the list of things to do in Cameron Highlands is a visit to the new Sungei Palas Tea Centre. Recently opened by BOH Plantations at the Sungei Palas tea garden, it is just above Brinchang, in the very heart of the Cameron Highlands tea country.
Located on a hilltop, amidst rows of tea bushes and close to Gunung Brinchang, it offers the best possible introduction to Malaysian teas in a truly spectacular setting.

Sungai Palas Visitor Centre

Cameron Valley Tea Plantation

Located along the main road from Ringlet to Tanah Rata this is a good spot where you can stop and enjoy a scenic view of a tea plantation. There is ample parking here along the road and there is also a small tea shop where you can enjoy a cuppa.

This is also a great spot for taking photos.

Pasar Siti Khadijah, Kota Bharu, Kelantan.

Pasar Siti Khadijah, Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia

Very colourful dry and wet market in the city center.

"At the Siti Khadijah market one can buy just about anything from fresh produce, kain batik, batik wear, scarves, prayer mats, local delicacies and more".

Unique in every sense, Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah is the most photographed market in the country. This place is a visual delight and a favourite photography subject in Kota Bharu. Located in the heart of Kota Bharu, it used to be known as Pasar Buluh Kubu.

The Market is particularly unique because most traders at the market are women. This is a 'must visit' destination in this town and the three-storey building houses hundreds of stalls that sell all kinds of fresh produce, traditional local delights, spices, sweets, batik, silver and bronze items as well as many other types of household products

Most activities take place early in the morning at Siti Khadijah Market. The market, named after the wife of Prophet Muhammad, is open from 8am to 6pm with Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays being the busiest days.

It should be emphasized that the market was named after the Prophet's wife who was a businesswoman. Certainly the fact that most of the proprietors in this market are women and the market being named after a businesswoman cannot and must not be overlooked.

Beautiful, Tranquil and Solitude

Tanjung Rhu Beach, Langkawi, Malaysia

Wide and empty beach at the north of the island. Home of the fancy Tanjung Rhu and Four Seasons resort and starting point of Mangrove River tours.Turn north at the round-about at the village of Padang Lalang. The Beach and various stalls selling souvenirs can be found at the end of the road. Also nearby is the jetty to start river tours through the Mangroves.

Whenever I had a chance to holidayed in Langkawi, one of the place i frequented was this beach. In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful beach in the world. Calm, desolate and uninterrupted.
