The quote of the year “ you don’t need a window when you can gaze into my eyes” 😂 love you guys.
😂🌺😂🙏
🤭🤭🤭
Mary Ann's statement of " You don't need a window when you look into my eyes!".. so romantic!! Great Couple! Good that you rested overnight at Kuala Lipis before going to Cameron Highlands! Safety first! Rgds from David, Kampar.
I’ve been to Malaysia about 30 times. We go visit my in-laws once a year. Cameron Highlands is where we go each time
An absolutely brilliant adventure as always Marianne and Chris. Thank you for taking us on your wonderful adventures. Glad Trudy’s brakes are fixed again.
You are welcome - it is great to have you !!
We visited the vanilla farm in Temerloh and saw your sticker on the metal door. We were heading to Kuala Terengganu for a beach wedding. Stayed 3 nights there with perfect cool weather with NO rain for all the 3 days we were there.
So cool!
Lovely to see you travel through Malaysia. I keep checking the polo club to see if I see the van parked! I am a Brit working in the school next door a dream to travel in a van. Perhaps one day!
Hahah you are stalking them! 😂 I'm calling the teledera! Btw do you know what teledera is hahah 🤪
Oh you missed us !! Yes Trudy was there for a while - but pop in and say hi to Natasha and Peter from us !! 🌺🙏
Absolutely....me too.... love to see & travel via caravan / mobile home.....sweet dream.... ❤❤❤
Awesome video as always Chris and Marianne. Malaysia has been such a epic place full of spectacular views and friendly people good luck on the rest of your journey around the world.
늘 잘 보고 있습니다!
건강하게 고향으로 돌아가시길
행운을 빕니다.
Thank you so much 🌺🙏
Tread the globe, U2 you make one man in the UK, very happy every Sunday when your videos drop p👍👍👍
Thanks !!
Great you guys stayed a night in Kuala Lipis albeit just an overnight stay. Small KL ( Kuala Lipis ) is my hometown and thou I’m in big KL now, I still make trips back to visit my sister and wife’s siblings. Hope you enjoy your trip around Malaysia. Cannot wait to follow your trip back to Britain as that was my plan too, god-willing.
Again and again great video guys. I get a little bit emotional watching your beautiful videos. Enjoy your holiday and have a safe trip in Malaysia ❤👍
Same! as my dad's from Malaysia, I started watched when saw touring Malaysia, great vids, so far they've been 2 places we visited on honeymoon looking forward to seeing more, sadly I'm unable to return yet due to health (heat & long flight) 🤞 1 day with at least 1 of my kids.
Brought warmth to my heart seeing you in Kuala Tehan, parking 50m from our guesthouse where we stayed for 4 nights in 2022. You picked the best of the floating restaurants available. Amazing how much more water there is than when we went - see my 'Taman Negara Part 1 - Canopy Walkway - From KL via bus/boat to Kuala Tahan (Trip62.2)' video
Theres another canopy walk located on the north malaysia. You can google tree top walk sungai sedim. Wait until you see ipoh perak, and the ipoh to gerik road.
Regarding your ATM problem, most local bank don’t accept foreign card at the ATM. Your best bet would be those banks that have international presence. That would be Public Bank, HSBC, Alliance, UOB bank.
If you guys happen to go up north I recommend you to go Baling, Kedah. You gonna love it I swear!!!
(KL - Kuala Kangsar - Gerik - Baling)
Stay one night
Baling - Gerik - Royal Belum Rainforest - Kelantan/Terengganu!
If your are lucky you might see a group of elephant crossing the road along the way 😛😛😛
I've forgotten how many people I've told about you two, but every camper or traveller I see, I mention about your journey to them. As usual a great vid. Cheers Guy's. Safe trip.
That is awesome!
My son will be realy happy to see he in your video...thanks you...have fun
Wonderful !!
thank you for curating your journey beautifully :)
For those interested in explore rainforest but had limited time in KL, just visit kepong forest park or templer park and kancing waterfalls just a bit further of the batu caves.
another epic adventure!
Great seeing places I have visited - did the canopy walk in 2006 and then hired a boat to travel down the river. Great trip. Thank you for sharing.
I went to Taman Negara Kuala Tahan in 2011 in my fifties with my students and principal.I had a wonderful time camping at the river bank,explored the nature and walked the canopy .It is an adventure of a lifetime.👍
Hi guys happy Sunday 👍
Hi Chris, I really enjoy your narration of the trip, very polish and simple to understand. Have a safe journey in Malaysia and beyond.
I was driven in a van over europe in the 70s by our lecturer with a group of Malaysian students while we were studying in Brighton. Unfortunately we did not have any action camera then but it surely brings back memory of the trip.
Thank you! 😃 That sounds like an awesome adventure !!
Hi, lovely scenery. Great video as always 👍 shame you didn’t get to do the canopy . Trudy all fixed and ready again. Safe travels ❤
The rain Forrest is beautiful with the animals enjoying their home ❤
You are in Temerloh, my hometown. Welcome guys. 🎉
luv yr video... happy to see you enjoy driving and mingling with local as much our variety of food
There's another fascinating caves called Gua kota Gelanggi in the district of Jerantut close by
Welcome to my hometown ~Kuala Lipis~
Hi guys.. interesting journey..👍
I'd been to Cameron Highlands recently, It was a perfect weather then between 16°c -18°c.. I reckon it will be definitely suitable for both of you and Trudy..but sometimes it was cloudy and rainy.. 😁
Btw, during monsoon most of Malaysian rivers' colour turned to "Malaysian teh tarik's colour",. literally they're naturally muddy but not polluted and are always clean and clear in some other seasons 😅
U r right.
Muddy is not equal dirty.
Most of the time it's muddy though. I definitely haven't seen a clear one except maybe around Lenggong.
Yea it’s true, if u watch Ken Abroad’s video of Taman Negara about 5 months ago the water is actually not that muddy during that time
@@chelsea21ify1 thx👍
I love the country side driving. Is so different from the city. I'm a Grab driver, I remember taking a couple from Germany from airport to Taman Negara it took me 6 hours drive😅. Is OK we have a good chat all the way. When I drop them off is midnight and my petrol is running out😮. That scared me out😂. When I reach my home in Petaling Jaya is 7am morning 😂. Is a good experience and they are a lovely couple. They gave me a tips as well. God bless them and you both ❤
It's another enjoyable video. Costa/No, thank you. I'm a Pret guy, even if it's (now) owned by (uck) McDonalds. The people in Malaysia are so friendly! I believe the beetle you saw is called a giant rhinoceros beetle. :>)
I agree. Rhinoceros beetle.
We play with beetles as a kid.
@@SSxxx18 - that's very funny! :>)
Yeahhh you all just passed by my hometown ie Jerantut - gateway to Taman Negara...
No Dont set off back home yet...do another 6 mnth in Malaysia. I am more than happy just watching you drive to different towns. 😊
We will be back - but the weather window for China will open in a few months and we have to drive north through Thailand and Laos !! But we will be back
I've been to Malaysia once. In 1997 a US aircraft carrier pulled into Kuala Lumpur. We had to take a 1 hour train ride that was slower than walking into town.
back then its different dir..Now u will never recognise your memory lanes in Malaysia 😅
Bummer that you did not get to experience the jungle canopy...monsoon raining season really dampened outdoor activities..actually 2 hours from Taman Negara there's an elephant sanctuary at Kuala Gandah, its free to enter. If you want the chances to encounter wild elephants you can take the Gerik-Jeli highway 👌
And when he said "chances to encounter wild elephants" he meant "hi guys! Surprise!!! We're crossing the road now! Are you surprised already? You oughtta be! And you better stop your van too! You do not want to hit any one of us, I'll tell you that! You do not want me to get angry! You won't like it when I'm angry!" kind of shock encounter on the road, just like your multiple surprise roadside encounters with the monkeys, except that these are big wild creatures that may get angry if you get too near and can crush steel like cardboards
the RV workshop is near my house in seremban..
The polo club…I’m picturing a load of hollow mint sweets having a social gathering 😆
Come and drive here to sarawak, borneo sir... its a real rainforest...
Theres a juction to the right that leads to Kampung Mat Daling. Its about an hour's drive in. The road is littered with elephant dung.
Kampung Mat Daling is remote, you can hear tiger's roar at times.
Whoa! Now this is info! Thanks man! 👍
Central Malaysia reminds me a lot of the country side in Panama. Specially during the rainy season. Best time to go to tropical places is indeed the dry season.
Oh wow - thank you for sharing that ... loving the lushness !!
@@TREADtheglobeUnfortunately, wrong timing 😔 how I hope to see you travel deep into the forest through the river boat... thick beautiful mysterious forest, untouched.
I watch British "Vanlifers" on YT and they are so dull, going round and round Scotland, up and down the West Coast of Ireland, maybe into Europe but you guys are on a completely different level. You are literally going everywhere. You are in a league of your own.
We would love to do closer to home one day - but whilst we have health on our side we will be taking on some more challenges in the future too .... some say Crazy like it is a bad thing !! LOL 😂🚐🌺
Yes done worry about the weather changes so fast . If raining still feel the heat.
Happy new year and hope your happy journey :) cheering from Korea ^^
couple of years back, the water level risen up to the Park Center, trapping about 100 locals and tourists
Hey guys, am new to your channel.What an awesome journey you guys are on. Brilliant 👍🏽 Hope that you guys enjoy the rest of your tour though Peninsular Malaysia.
Thanks so much! 😊
Kelantan is dry and hot now. No floods. If you're coming up northeast, look for Temangan. A quiet village.
Hi guys getting the isopon/bondo❤ on is all part of an old camper
아름다운 여행위해서 트루디 안전이 최우선~
많은 수리 하셔서 다행이네요 친구~~
항상 안전한여행
기도하고 있습니다 ^~~~
Thank you Won - we appreciate your friendship and support - love to all the Angels and friends 🌺🌷🙌🙏💜
11:11 saves the day. wooo hooo
Kuala Lipis is a historic town which used to be Pahang's capital
my village at the end road to taman negara...hope the best in Malaysia
Wow you brave drive in Malaysia...
Welcome to my town kuala lipis..
look like the water level start to raise up. during floods, the whole steps will under the water.
Wow!!!!🤗
Nice travel vid.Cant wait 4 the next vid.❤

16:42 That local guy casually said "buaya seekor" which means "one crocodile" or "a crocodile" 😂
you are living the dreams man! i really wanted to do a road trip, passing through country roads all across Malaysia. Will use your journey as a reference. Enjoy your stay
loving the journey
Thanks 👍
Sangat menarik vlog anda , thanks for bringing us to the journey , saya tinggal di kedah , Alor Star , tak pernah sampai sana lagi , maybe in the future who knows , good stuff mate
Both of you should visit the Kuala Gandah the National Elephants conversion Centre and the center point of Peninsula Malaysia.
My go to ATM has always been Maybank and oddly Public has never gone the way I wanted. Amazing videos and safe travels.
Hi Marianne and Chris.
I look forward to my weekend tea and Trudy's adventures every Sunday.
What has been the scariest country you have driven in?
The roads in Georgia were something special !!
Kuala Lipis is famous for its Catfish dishes and Lemang (sticky rice cooked in bamboo) and Rendang...
Most beautiful Malaysia from u'r video
Kuala Lipis is my mom hometown..this town has been ruled by British government long time ago.. Clifford school is my high school..you should g visit later
Thanks again Chris and Mary Ann. Hope you enjoyed Cameroon, it was always a delight to get away from Penang and spend a few days in the lovely, not so sweltering heat where you might a tad of heat rather than A/C. I'm also curious if you felt you could manage the climate full time? I'm thinking of retiring back in Malaysia, and do recall that even when I was young I do recall feeling fatigued by the heat humidity and wondering if it might be a bit much after a few years/
Good job you've got all that lovely food to keep those calories up from lack of aircon 😀 great vlog again..
Excellent video editing ... 👍
hello Chris and Marianne, this coming Thursday 25th of January there will be a Thaipusam festival that will be held in Batu Caves Kuala Lumpur, Penang and in Ipoh during that day. do enjoy that day on your journey.
Sounds great!
love it so much
Welcome to my hometown, home of National Park
Actually there is a road going direct to Cameron Highlands from Kuala Lipis in less than 3 hours.
Always put on your lifejacket when crossing the river for safety...
Excellent video keeps up the great content
Thank you for sharing the awesome journey with us❤
Safe travels and happy van life adventures!

Thank you for your sharing your expereience
Malaysian sky really blue man.

polo club is next to my office...my office just opposite the raintree club.
Refreshing vlog, I enjoy it till the end
Thank you so much 🙂
Adventure in taman negara via tembelingor merapoh.swim withkelah fish in shallow waters
Hope you both have nice memories in Malaysia
The "moulded" hillsides that you saw are for oil palms, for the production of Palm Oil. Palm oil is one of Malaysia's major exports.
Its either a new plantation area or the old palms have been removed and young palms are to planted.
Man, I wish you guys would go to Sabah...the road is a whole lot different here. It's like driving on the moon, if you know what I mean😂😂
Watch this space !!
kk to Sandakan
Great stuff
22:21 happy man 😅.. The simplicity of life
its a shame you cant visit Terengganu due to floods and monsoon season. Because if you love beaches, then Terengganu is the place to go. White sand with blue crystal clear water. Also lot of beautiful islands there. You will absolutely love it.
Next time!
I follow your journey in Malaysia, love to see you guys go to my hometown Jerantut, Pahang. I hope you enjoy there, and takecare to the next journey in Malaysia. 💕
Continued safe and beautiful travels! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Will do!
