As a malaysian, we really appreciate your roadtrip despite the rain and sunburn. Ouch.
Woohoo! Absolutely great tips guys, thank you much. Abbas absolutely LOVED following your trip around Malaysia by bike & he’s especially happy to know you liked Kelantan so much 🥹 I’m also happy to hear that! Take care guys, catch you next time! 🤗
Thanks! Glad you liked it 😊
Actually we malaysians didnt put any sunscreen riding motorcycle, we just put on long sleeve jacket
As a malaysian i can't agree more with your opinions regarding the favorite and not favorite places.. You've given immaculate opinions.. Terrific.
Right
Thanks!
I do think malaysia is a beautiful country. there are beautiful islands, cool highlands and well developed cities and towns all in a country!
If you survived driving in KL, Malaysia, you can drive anywhere in the world lol
Riding a bike in Ho Chi Minh is on another level.

As a Dutchman living in Malaysia for many years i find your video / commands interesting
I have to disagree on some of the things you say
You didnt like Penang? Penang is a beautiful place one of the best places in Malaysia it is not for nothing called the pearl of the orient
It has some interesting places to go and see and it also has some nice beaches
You mentioned Cameron highlands and how there was no going in to the jungle this is not true
In Cameron highlands you can book guided jungle tracking.
They bring you in to the jungle with a 4 wheel drive
I know people on vacation / holiday have only so much time aand so many things to see
But you never mentioned my home town Melaka paradise city but i guess if you dont like Penang you wont like Melaka
An other place to go to is Ipoh
Next time you come maybe try to find information or just ask local people
Ulu Muda? I've never heard of it either. How interesting.... this actually piques my interest. Thanks
Appreciate for the honest and fair view.
Not every tourist like big city with crowded visitors.
The best thing about Malaysia is it offers a lot, from
Big modern city, seculaded places, islands, jungles, parks, malls, wild animals, culture, food etc. You have variety of choices you can choose...but the best of malaysia is its people.❤
Put on a light long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you're on your motorbike. The sun is quite harsh in Malaysia unlike in cold countries.
Next borneo. Follow the roadtrip designed by 2up and overloaded.
Using a motorcycle for long journeys is quite challenging in the hot rain and the safety of heavy vehicles such as trucks and trailers, both of you are great and tough
Hi guys deserve to be an ambassador actually for exploring the entire city in Malaysia although there is your best experience 😊
The most honest review from non Malaysian influencer. That's my opinion after witching so many travel video by non Malaysian. I watched 2 or 3 episodes of this channel and thought it is quite regular but wacthing this episode changed my view. Thanks to both of you. I prefer your commentary than mario😂😂😂
Laos and Cambodia are not developed, and there are vast untouched forests. Their culture is completely preserved if that is what you're looking for. Malaysia is a developing country, and the landscape of the country has changed a lot over the years.
For your next trip, do check out these places instead. Instead of Penang, check out Perak for better food selection. Kuala Kangsar and Taiping was a great start, but Ipoh have a lot of foodie spots. Instead of going to Genting/Cameron for highlands, check out Bukit Tinggi and Janda Baik off the Bentong town and Frasers Hill for a more charming and laid back vibe. On the way to Kelantan, do take a moment to stop by Cherating beach for a very quiet as well as surfer spot in the area. There is also turtle sanctuary nearby. Kenyir lake can be a hit or miss, but when you know some locals, you can score a very scenic spots and can truly be within the wild. Especially if you like to check out the fishing scene. This is also a nice place to stay on a boathouse. Pahang goes underrated with foreigners but among locals, it is a local destination for a quick get away. An hour or two off Kuala Lumpur have a few hills and mountain hikes you can enjoy, if you are into that. Kuala Kubu Bharu and Ulu langat is within Selangor state, which have the same vibe as Taiping old town.
Seeing your love for nature, i think west Malaysia would be your ideal place in Malaysia. Do check out the Rainforest Music Festival which happens annually in Sarawak.
Thanks for the suggestions!
Lovely suggestions & descriptions man.. There's always some good alternatives cater for different taste and style of travelling here in Malaysia. Indeed respective locals will give u good insight/reco for places. Even when i travel to small town or remote district will randomly ask around which most of the time won't disappoint.
I'm glad u like Taiping. It's rare for foreign travelers to go there 👍
It also has a highland area called Maxwell Hill or Bukit Larut.
It's the place that surprised us the most, so quiet and beautiful
Thank you for promoting Malaysia especially a road trip
Our infrastructure and road culture more civilised than most asean countries...accomodations cheap and readily available
Thank you for your reviews and opinions.. Its really shows that both of you love more about natural and cultures. It may contradict with others who love more about development and modern vibes. So its great for you enjoy road trip from west to east peninsular.
Next time you may enjoy east coast road trip from kota bharu, kuala terengganu and down to mersing. It's really great coastal vibes but make sure its around March to August. And also be prepare for more natural surrounding and some places far from town. But you already face it during road trip from west to east. So it may similar but with coastal vibes.
But to enjoy more of it, plan for road trip from kuching to kota kinabalu. It really great natural vibes but be prepare for more dangerous wildlife in many places. Don't simply get into water as you did in peninsular. Ask the local first before get into any river or beaches.
Olivia was so cute.baby face and petite..mario was so chill and relax..can be a great companion.great for both of you❤keep safe always you guys…😊and keep on making wonderful videos
Whatever it is, hope that you guys have had a marvelous adventure traveling on road in peninsular Malaysia.
Actually between redang and perhentian there is one famous island for baby sharks. Lang tengah. People also take padi lessons there. Redang is like perhentian besar, full of family resorts. But redang a a huge island with a small airport like tioman.
Yes, due to lack of information, tioman to you was a challenge. But nevertheless, you tasted it.
ill be in Malaysia when my thai visa expires in mid august. first time going there. not to sure what to expect.i watched you guys vids and others but.. im going to langkawi for 7 days, penang george town 4 & KL 2..i love big cities,im from a big city but i also love the beach. perhentian islands looked good to but i dont have time.
I would suggest 2 days in Penang and 4 days in KL
Sounds like a good plan, Langkawi is great for beaches too!
Excellent video, full of usefull tips not only for those who are thinking of taking a road trip but also locals that have an intention of going for a holiday as well. Great job hope you have safe journey ahead, cheers👍
Glad it was helpful!
Good summary. I totally agree as I love nature too. We ride in groups of big bikes ending with a dive in waterfall wherever we go. You will probably like pos yum or kuala mu. Place of the native people.
This was a great video, I added a few stared places for my upcoming trip.
I love malaysian ❤
Love the long journey vlogs and glad you guys safe and in a good health 🥳💪
You are just awesome sister..😊
i dont like penang too..n cameron when its crowded with people..but if not..then its one of my fav..bcoz of cool weather
I agreed so much with your opinion. If you like to see the nature, go for a day hike at some selected places like the Fraser's Hill, Pahang and the Mount Angsi in Negeri Sembilan.
Thanks for ur kind words.. I'd say it's spot on
spot on. could not agree more
It is so true about Taiping. It does not overwhelmed you in a bad way.
👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽 Well said & choreographed! 🏍️💨
Wonderful summary!
Thank you!
do come again...we love having tourists like u guys...thank u
Wow,such a cool and exciting trip on two wheels in Malaysia. Loved you Lao videos as well. Safe travels and take good care of yourselfs. Cheers.
Thanks 🙏
I recommend to you guys go to Kuching, Sarawak which is in East Malaysia Borneo island more nature and aesthetic town👍
Next time!
Love watching all ur videos 😀😍🙏 im a fan from Philippines
this couple are fantastic 👏👏👍👌🫶😋 definately under rated youtubers👏👏👍🎉🎉🎉👌😋😋Deserving on many more subscribers🫶

Very good observations and choices. I prefer the remote jungles and islands too. The cities are overrated, even though they are well developed.
girl i love your vibe. bless u
Thank you for this lovely journey… ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
bro im waiting10 days to see your new video travelling around malaysia.i like your content
Malaysia the best country in the world.no need worry if you round all malaysia county .safety country everywhere you go.❤❤❤❤
Yes i couldn't agree more ..
Hi Olivia and mario i like u guys ❤❤❤❤the way you show malaysia.. Just nice
Thank you!
Kelantan, perhentian island, and taiping is my fave. I didn't expect that in your list ❤
*Is good experience ride motosikal in Malaysia, congratulations*
You guys are awesome, just like Malaysia 😎
There’s a third highland, called Fraser’s Hill which is less developed than Genting, less commercialized/ agriculturally commercialized than Cameron. Not much to do there, just chill and relax. There were many colonial cottages with in-stay butlers, but I’m not sure they are still in operation. These guys can make you a whole spread just like how it was done British-style. The main event is the International Bird Race, and also the Le Tour de Langkawi cycling which i think no longer goes to Fraser’s Hill (Need to check the annual calendar events). Locals go up to Cameron Highlands for a night stay during weekends, Fraser’s Hill tend to be a day trip. I would rate Fraser’s Hill #1, followed by Cameron and lastly Genting.
Ppl normally go to Tioman for scuba diving, as well as to nearby smaller island like Aur Island. Great if you would consider taking up the open water basic license, and then going to these islands for the advanced license. Reason: basic license you learn techniques which u want to get right and clear understanding of the steps, advanced license are geared towards different type of activites to learn, but most importantly, u would be descending deeper into the ocean, and that u wouldn’t freak out. It’s a very good, especially if u planning to go to Borneo side of Malaysia, as there are many great dive sites there. There’s a combined license as well, but i wouldnt recommend that, coz I believe in getting ur basic right, then explore. Lastly, most dive sites are seasonal due to the monsoon be it at the East Coast or East Malaysia, so do check out the weather and do check with the dive operators, especially on what kind of marine life you want to spot. (I would want to dive at Turtle Tomb one day at Sipadan, but I have yet to find out more when’s the best time and requirements)
This year ltdl2024 will be coming to Fraser Hill because genting is not in the list.
Thanks for sharing all this info! We will have to check it out next time
If u plan to go to taman negara, u can hop on a train from kl and drop by at merapoh
I ve just been to pulau kapas first time in february..it is sooo amazing,quite n peace place..the best view when u hike in bukit singa..get prepared for massive sunburn😅..it is sooooo hot there.
Hi guys , thanks so much because you all guys doing good about all your content you tube.. I love so much that.. you are my Malaysian ambasador as well.. bro Mario and Sis Olivia you guys alway in my minds.. and love you so much guys ❤❤❤❤❤
Take care..💋💋💋💋💋💕💕💕
Thanks so much!
Johor is family oriented, which is great for kids but may not suit anyone over 13. Everywhere else you dislike is mainly non-Malay areas, which tend to get destroyed in the name of money.
Honestly I have no motorcycle and never know how to handle it 😅 I always driving my cars travel anywhere everywhere ..my opinion, it's quite dangerous to travel long journey with small motorcycle especially on highway or on busy roads..so be carefully & wish drive safe.
woww
Hey guys,come to borneo..u have many things to do and see
Thanks so much guys.what you both do for our country is in a good and sincere way. sorry what is lacking in our place is from us and what is good is from the almighty creator Allah. keep up the good work guys & we love you guys
Thanks for watching and supporting 🙂
@@TravelsonToast most welcome 👍
If you go to Johor Bahru don't go to the town. Johor has a lot of islands too. U need to go to Desaru, Kota Tinggi. Johor has a lot of beaches also. If you go to town it is quite expensive because their target is Singapore.
I wanna do the same. i have done East Malaysia from Kota kinabalu to Sepilok and the Kinabatangan River and back but not west yet. I ran out of fuel twice on my back and had to knock on some of the little metal shack houses for a bottle of fuel haha luckily locals helped..... & your right. KL Is absolutely incredible, especially if your a foodie like me! Very very cool place.
im glad you have a good vibes on my hometown Taiping.
It's beautiful!
Kelantan and Terengganu deserve the Unesco's Heritage recognition. The local cultures are still widely preserved.,super rustic and traditional. Lenggong and Kuala Kangsar is another hidden gem for locals and tourists.
Not mak yong though
Tapi sayang tak bersih.
@@user-db9ek1ie8f bukan semua tempat tak bersih...kalau anda kata semua tempat tak bersih anda berbohong pada diri anda sendiri..
@@keangwooichoo6138 mak yong and menora are still practiced in kelantan and Besut Terengganu..the fatwa back then was because it has an animistic concept which the government prohibit later they uplift the ban and allow both dances as long as it does not consist of animistic practices.
Excellent Video. BTW CZcams seem to have changed the layout...Likes and comments on right of screen....I couldn't find it, even though it was infront of me for 10 mins!
One activity on Kapas island is squid fishing when in season.
Yu should go tu hutan Temenggor.hutan Temenggor in Gerik is hutan gergasi tertua di dunia.
They have mentioned it as Belum State National Park (Royal Belum State Park) at 14:02. Belum is the name of the jungle area. Temenggor is name of the lake. And Banding is the name of the island where the road cross the lake.
Do it again, you might be surprised to discover something new in malaysia
You are absolutely right about Johor Bahru. All of them
Nothing there?
@@keangwooichoo6138 nothing of tourists attraction. Most hotels are far below expectations.
Not many have achieved such feat. Good evaluation on places to visit and not worth 2nd visit.
I'm from Shah Alam and i think the best cities to live permanently and have such good vibes are Kota Bharu, Dungun, Kangar and Kuching.
Where to next Mario & Olivia?
Edit: You should try another route from Cameron Highlands to Gua Musang to Kuala Terengganu. You have to spare extra gas though for this route. Locals will advise u to not go thru this route after 7pm because of wild elephants and other animals. The road isn't good, potholes everywhere tho.
But the best thing about this route is you won't find it anywhere else. The scenic view of Tasik Kenyir from slightly higher altitude. Mario would drop his jaw if he flies his drone there. Magnificent view.
I drove well around Malaysia couple of times but nothing beats this view. I didn't stop to fly drone there because i was alone and didnt wanna stop because of wild tigers. I drove there for a few hours only saw one other car along the stretch.
We did miss out on a couple places in the centre, maybe we will visit next time!
for johor if you like the more quiet and traditional vibe do visit muar or just any kampung actually.
Not many visit Taiping... thanks you guy did.
If you still wish to ride n explore East Malsyai, U can fly to East Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu...there is a bike for rent service
You forgot to tell the petrol price is cheap compare to Thailand
East Coast Peninsular Malaysia the best way to explore
You are right. All you said is true. Penang is too crowded but a food haven though. I never like genting highland and cameron. There is no spectacular beach in JB. Spot on
There's Rawa Island, off Mersing, Malaysia's best kept secret. 🙂
Fraser's Hill is my favourite out of the 3 main highlands. Smallest oif the 3 but least commercial. I'm not sure if the annual bird watching event is still held there. And there's Mount Tahann in Taman Negara, Lake Kenyir, Tempurung cave and Titiwangsa range for camping.
I suggest you to go and visit Gunung Jerai, in Kedah. it will remind you of Gunung Raya from Langkawi 😊
And you should visit Royal Belum too.
Cameron Highland is popular with locals but had lost its former charms of cool climates and pristine mountains due excessive and haphazard developments. Become more and more overcrowded especially on weekends and public holidays.
I usually go to cameron highlands if my state is on holiiday while the other states are not, like Rulers birthday or religious holidays.
I think JB's business/market is mainly targeting Singaporeans so yeah.... the prices ⬆⬆
JB, penang and cameron and genting highland...agree with you 100%
Hidden gem in Langkawi is Tuba island...only 20 minutes by boat from Langkawi
Mario... Mario where are you.. you didn't appear 😅 Miss you
He's here, just a camera man this time 😅
Would love to see a bike trip in Sarawak, Brunei and Sabah!
Maybe one day!
I wonder where u guys will be going next
❤
It must be nicer if you mention the state where perhentian island,redang island and kapas island are situated. It is in Terengganu. My beloved state.🙂
Ohh Olivia, you have just downgraded my hometown...hahahaaa. Anyway, I love your videos, very natural and real. Thank you.
MERSING on the eastern coast would have been better than staying in Johor. It also has ferry trips to some beautiful islands
We did go there 🙂
does anyone know how to transfer motorcycle to the perhentian islands?
you're definitely Right about Johor bahru. It's such a boring place 😂
Hey guys... both of you is eye of The World @🇲🇾🤗🫶🤝👏👍👍
johor,penang, cameron n genting highland tempat tak akan mereka repeat travel..tak best ke 4 tempat ni.. kuantan tak sebut maknanya okla untuk dilawati 😅
first
literally just sat down with dinner and thought i hope travels on toast puts up a new vid cause im bored, then saw it, random timing lol
haha love that! Enjoy your dinner and the video 😄
Thanks you sis good job 👍👍👍
Malaysia is generally quite safe, except for small motorcycle thefts. You're lucky that your bike was still there at the jetty to Perhentian.. 🙂
Osem.osem.and osem
Hey, Ulu Muda is my village. 😃
Patut la Ulu Muda tak fames, tuan rumah pun boleh komen setakat enam patah perkataan saja... Hahaha...
It looks beautiful! Wished we could've visited
