Thanks guys for sharing this vlog 😊. Very interesting content. Dabong Kelantan is truly magnificent. Hope you guys had fun. 😉 have a nice day & take care guys 🌿
Dabong was such a surprise packet and we nearly missed it! Thankfully a kind person on the train suggested that we stop there and we are glad that we did it.
Wow, thanks for your nice video, first time I see these great places as a Malaysian
You're welcome Andy99 99. Glad we could share this with you.
Amazing video again guys. I honestly have never even heard of the bar, but it seems like an amazing place for adventure travelers. I love those caves, and that waterfall was so beautiful.
Thanks Darren and Olivia!! We almost passed right through this place and thankfully some friendly people on the train suggested that we stop there to check it out. Often the best days are the unplanned ones!
Welcom to kuala krai..thans for video👍👍
Thanks Farid!
I’ve just discovered you guy’s channel and I’m in love! You’re both so amazing and I love how passionate you both are about travelling and experiencing different cultures ☺️I’ve wanted to travel for so long but I’ve always put it off for some reason but you both have inspired me to finally take the plunge! Thank you guys 🤍
Hi Noor, welcome to our channel!🤗🤗 We have found travel to be life changing and recommend it for everyone. It broadens your perspective about the world and builds empathy and understanding for other ways of life among many other things! All the best with your future travels!!
Thank you so much for this video. I just love how adventurous you both are. Very nice to see seldom seen parts of Malaysia from the perspective of non-Malaysians 🥰
Hi Twittering others! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the video. We love exploring, especially off the typical tourist trail!
Second comment;
Hard NO for me with the caves! You are bravo souls! The food & waterfalls looked amazing! ~Cara 😊
The caves were a little bit scary, especially that 'secondary birth' section. I was worried I wasn't going to fit! -Jon
wow..i like eco tourism must try one day here..
look amazing the god of light
the waterfall so cool..
Dabong is such a great destination and we would have missed it if not for a local recommending it to us on the train!
Woww tq bro me malaysia me jeli tq bro
Terima kasih kerana menonton!
7:25 ...mmmm....that pisang goreng looks yumm yumm...😋🤭
We LOVE pisang goreng!!🤤🤤
Reminds me of the incidence in Thailand not long ago where several people were trapped in a cave when the river rises due to rain upstream. Make sure its in the safe season, because sometimes rain is unpredictable.
Yes, I was thinking of this as well. You wouldn't want to be doing this in rainy season in case you got trapped!
❤
🙏
3:07 ...the effect is hilarious...huhu...🤭😁👍
We are glad you liked that!😁 I took me ages to create Jay floating away!
14:00... nasi kerabu looks yumm yumm...sedaap tu...❤😋
It was very tasty, one of our favourite dishes in all of Malaysia!
12:52...comey...😍😻
Ia comel sehingga ia terkencing di tempat duduk kami selepas kami tidak memberikannya apa-apa makanan!
You guys really explored the natural beauties of east coast Malaysia 🇲🇾.
Hope you come visit again and explore more 👌
There is so much to see and we only just scratched the surface. Thanks for watching Ace Razak!
Next time you both should go hiking to Gunung Tahan. Very adventurous and very nice scenery
Thanks for the suggestion!
💚
🙏
Oh my goodness! Some how we’ve missed months of your travel videos! All buttons are activated…hmm? So we are playing catch up! ~Cara
Now on to many videos….😊
Hi Cara, so good to hear from you! What have you been up to lately? Been travelling? We are finally home in Australia, but are very behind with our videos!
@@BucketListTravellers we are well not traveling. Family & health issues at the moment. We are SO sorry we’ve missed your videos we are playing catch up! 💖~Cara
@@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers We are sorry to hear that. All good, thank you for all your support Cara!🤗🤗 -Jon
_Kedai makan_ actually means an eatery. _Kedai_ is shop, _makan_ is eat. _Cik Siti_ is the name of the eatery, could very well have been the name of the owner. _Cik_ means miss/Ms while _Siti_ is a typical traditional name among malay women. So _Kedai makan Cik Siti_ means the (bizarre) shop that eats its owner Ms Siti! 😂😂😂
Hi Jon, thanks for the Malay lesson and that sounds pretty funny!😀 I think that is what it was named, but now you mention it, we could have got it round the wrong way!
@@BucketListTravellers lol I hope you are aware that I was only joking with that last sentence 😂 It would've been true if you translate the malay name _Kedai makan Cik Siti_ word by word: shop eats ms Siti 😂😂😂 But of course that's not how malay language works so the translation is ms Siti's eatery/restaurant haha
So yeah, when you confidently told your audience the place is called _Kedai makan,_ that was equivalent to your being at a joint called Sydney harbour restaurant, and pointing out the name of the restaurant is: restaurant haha
So if you see _Kedai pak abu_ then the name of the shop is pak abu. If it's _Kedai gunting veloo_ then it's veloo's scissors shop. Oops nope, it's not! 😂 Although _gunting_ does mean scissors, it's actually shortened from _gunting rambut_ (haircut) so it's veloo's barber shop 😅
@@jonmath4182 😂😂 I see! We'll know for next time! Thanks for explaining that to us Jon!
In fact Gunung Stong is the highest waterfalls in Malaysia and South East Asia.. i just googled it..
Hi Heri, some sites say it is the highest, others say it isn't. It is hard to know for sure without measuring it!!
@Bucket List Travellers I am not sure too because Laos and Vietnam have high waterfalls too
Omg! gunung stong. I'm from gua musang but I just visit 1 time there.. 😂
You live next door! It is a lot of fun isn't it!
I love caves but Im also claustrophobic,yea a bit oxymoronic lol
I would not go thru that secondary birth hole for sure haha
Secondary birth hole...dont think you could find that name anywhere else 😅
Matt is cool.I'd look for him if I decide to venture out to Dabong caves.
Ashamed to admit I had no idea we have the highest waterfall in SEA in Jelawang .
😂😂 Yeah, I was getting a little freaked out by the secondary birth hole and how tight some of the caves were. Matt was great and you should definitely do a tour with him! I'm not sure about Jelawang's claim to be highest in SEA though, it may not even be the highest in Malaysia! It is still great to visit! - Jon
i missed hiking there, used to hike and conquered 3 peaks nearby Baha, Ayam & Stong. Best experienced for a 'hantu air' like me
😂😂 'hantu air'. I'm sure these hikes wouldn't have been easy but the views worth it!
@@BucketListTravellers 'hantu air' aka ghost water if translated is a term used commonly here to refer a person like me who are crazy for places has water such as waterfalls🤣. Malaysians has one of the best nature to hike deeper into the forest and found a gem of natural waterfalls that has clear and clean water. The common waterfall where open to public im not interested so much, because for me it does not have the clear n clean water you found deeper inside the forest. To hike in Malaysians jungle i must say, its quite a challenge and its unlike any of the 4 seasons jungle. Its seriously rainforest jungle here with mud and tough tracks. Enjoy your stay here and have fun but be careful with your surrounding. Nothing harm to be alert while enjoying yourself right. ❤
@@quxienaquehim3336 Thanks for explaining! I thought 'hantu air' meant that you didn't go near water and that you preferred hikes instead. Have you ever come across cobras? We didn't realise they were in Malaysia, but came across one next to the Putrajaya lake!
@@BucketListTravellers yes i have previously met with different type of snakes but if king cobra around city so far not yet. If you come across it again call 999 for firefighter (bomba) to handle the situation because its quite common in Malaysia to see snakes on the road 😅
@@quxienaquehim3336 Good to know! Snakes really freak me out! - Jon
Enjoying your Malaysia vlogs. Will be going with kids. Do you think Dabong is suitable for 3 kids under 8 years?
Thanks for watching! There is a bit of climbing involved, especially with the caves so that might be a bit hard. However the waterfall area is fine if you don't climb too high.
Too much kfc ahhaha😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 We ate A LOT the night before and have the video to prove it!
air terjun Chemerong di Terengganu lagi tinggi dari stong ni
Ya, kami tidak pasti tentang papan tanda yang mendakwa bahawa Stong adalah air terjun tertinggi di Asia Tenggara!
Air terjun Chemerong adalah air terjun menegak tertinggi. Manakala air terjun gunung stong air terjun bertingkat tertinggi, ada 7 tingkat. Jgn gaduh2 kita sama warga Malaysia
@@yusnitayunus461 😂😂Ya, kita lebih tahu daripada tidak mempersoalkan rakyat Malaysia! Terima kasih kerana menerangkan kehalusan air terjun tertinggi untuk kami!
light in the caves remind me of jack sparrow vs barbosa
😂😂Yes, you expect to find a treasure in here!
The waterfall on Mount Kinabalu is 700 meters high, Dabong is only 300 meters I'm confused which one is the highest
Interesting! We struggled to get clarity on this when we searched online. It is fair to say that it isn't the highest waterfall in SE Asia, but one of the highest in Malaysia.
You pronounced dubong. Shld be dabong.
Whoops, thanks Keang!
I'm not claustrophobic, but my big fat ass wouldn't even pass that gaping hole..
🤣🤣🤣 I didn't think I was going to make it through that hole either! -Jon
hoe machtig voel je je nu als witte man
Bedankt voor het kijken.
