The taxi drivers recommendation of the Mossey Forest is a gd one. Its one of the oldest forest in the world .
but the price that he charged them is freaking rm90!! ..that's a rip off
better rent a scooter or just walk
@@markzzzzberg1312it’s really not. It’s $20 USD. Other places would charge up to $100
How's the mossy forest, suitable for insects phobia?
@@TheSonia20 just wear long pants n bring along an insect repellant with u. U'll b quite fine
Hi You two , ok firstly I am British and have lived in Malaysia for 8 years , Cameron highlands I have visited countless time, actually the best accommodation is actually in Brinchang !. kFC , MC Donald’s fast foods ifneeded l, A fabulous shopping complex that has recently been built in Brinchang, some great pubs there !.
Also it’s nearer the Mossy Forest 🌳, near to the trail 1 for hikers . You can walk to all within a hour , getting around cameron and other villages to explore, You can hire a motorcycle or even get a bicycle, a lot more fun than a taxi and being trapped in ridiculous Jams.
The best tea plantation is BOH Team farm opposite the nova hotel is the entrance, there’s a museum about the origins of the tea plantation 🇬🇧.
Where can we hire?
Well, the taxi driver was right. Mossy Forest more fun to explore for me. Its like you going to another world.
its used to be much colder up there when i was little...now a days with the climate changed and a lot of developments it's not as cold anymore, even the strawberries became less sweet.
both you hyping each other up even for little things. that’s gold. wishing only the best for both you legend
Cameron Highlands is a major supplier of vegetables in the country also
and also supply to singapore
Glad to see you guys
My suggestion, if u guys are going to cameron without kids, pls rent a motorcycle there. Trust me so interesting and easy to go here and there . 😊
Yeah. If they are expert on bikes in Laos shld not be an issue
motorcycle better laa than taxi, during rush hour you can't even go to pekan because it's packed as hell if you go by car. what a waste of time back then
agree
@@KedaiNasi yeah, luckily i rent a motorcycle, skuter ego berkicap jugaklah mendaki but reached the destination without tempuhi jammed. Hihih
Thanks guys your vlog is awesome 😊 so nice view at Cameron Highland Pahang Malaysia 🇲🇾 🤩
The berry you ate are called hairy blueberries. A favorite of lical children.
Finally you visit Cameron highland 😍😍👏👏👏
Okay. The hitchhike was everything. And the weather is rejuvenating, especially these days away from the lower ground. It's all about meeting other travellers here! There is a very long backpakers history here and it's legendary. Really. And you're on top of mountains! I could stay for weeks there sleeping in my car!
Marlo... if you smell nasi lemak in cameron highlands. It means nasi lemak has become your comfort food.
Bharat is only 1 plantation. BOH is better. He is correct
Olivia is getting sweeter now after spending times in Malaysia..
Cameron Highlands tips:
1) Try to avoid the weekends, as the road traffic is pretty bad as many locals would be visiting
2) Strawberries are seasonal, but they are available whole year round at Cameron Highlands. Having said that, some months they are sourish, some months they are sweet. But it is always great to support the farmers at farmers market.
3) Engage a local guide for a half day or full day tour, they are pretty good. They can explain how tea is grown, they can guide you through mossy forest and bring you hiking as well. Many of the guides actually work as nature and historical conservatist.
4) Cameron Highlands due to its cool weather used to the place British ppl go to to escape the Malaysian heat. There are a couple of places you can go for ‘traditional’ scones and tea like the Smokehouse, for the old British experience.
5) Yup, local public transport is not that great. So it’s best to engage a local guide who drives a Land Rover (that’s the most popular car at Cameron Highlands). The convenience, the local knowledge… it’s worth the price and hassle exploring Cameron Highlands
Thanks for the advice. I assume you'd find the guides around the town centre? Am planning a day trip with the kids.
Hello! Where can we find these local guides?
thanks which months the strawberry will be sweet?
@@AlaaAlaa-er4ld this i dunno. Probably u can google to find out
@@AlaaAlaa-er4ld i don’t know. Think some months are sour, some months are sweet, and some months are sweet. Probably search on google?
love your video
😊
Thanks!
Olivia, everytime you trying foods please please please 🙏🙏 making your face happy.😁😁😁
Lol
Hi.. enjoy your time here...
Sunrise to sunset..
Please come again here if you guys already move on to other place
Guys.. the taxi driver was right. Maybe a bit too pricey.. but he was right about the places to visit and things to do.
Exactly. For not listening to the advice of the taxi driver, you ended up in a crappy copycat version of the legendary British BOH TEA plantation with literally nothing exciting to see.
Penny wise, pound foolish ?
Well..for me as Malaysian, Cameron Highlands basically is place for Malaysian especially western Malaysian to have vibe and feel like we are out of Malaysia, we are on Europe...so thats why most European doesn't feel anything so special about cameron Highlands... but for us as Malaysian, thats one of the place in Malaysia we can wear sweater 😅😅😅😅
❤ first thing I liked to say that you guys are amazing and doing great work with all videos 😊stay safe and enjoy your travel hello to Mario and Livy ❤❤😊😊
You guys vids and exploring Malaysia was exciting to watch even I'm malaysian myself. Never get bored watching and yeah to the island we go lets go! Safe journey everyday mario and olivia 🤞
Thanks a lot!
thanks to the brother who gave the hitchhike. salute 07
Nicely done guys...but please don't simply eat any fruits from any plants especially weed-type plants here because some berries are poisonous, so better ask any locals there to confirm the edibility of anything that looks like a fruit. Or to be safe, if you see that the locals don't eat it, best to avoid it, ok? 😊
It really worries me to see you eating that berry but i think if you're just trying it, guess it's ok. Tropical vegetation always offer us many plants that produces tempting fruits but most of it are poisonous in nature. So please beware of it ok guys. Anyways, love the effort to share your experience there. Keep producing more contents yea and wishing you an abundance profit and joy 😊
I found the mini insects zoo very interesting. The butterflies that are so big like yesteryears and insects that look like plants. The zoo is behind/under the mini cactus shops.
Happy enjoy in Cameron Highlands 😋👍
Thanks!
Hello Jonhny depp , beautifull day at Cameroon Highland
im so late watching these i really enjoyed ur vlogs guys keep uploading more videos watching from philippines🤗🥰🥰🥰
Thank you! Will do!
🥰🥰🥰@@TravelsonToast
I've been there several times, we saw aboriginal people walking through once in the late '80s
Don't forget to find and try sambal strawberry.
Oh those cameron highland strawberries I love eating them dipped in chocolate 😋
Really? We didn't know that was a thing 😅
@@TravelsonToast neither did I, until about 3 years ago before covid when I stumbled upon the product, but it is very rare, and I loved it
I enjoyed your video, but I think both of you missed a lot more attractions there such as Strawberry farms (A lot of strawberry farms to choose from), Animal Sanctuaries, Centrum Mall, Night Market, Night View at Tanah Rata, Kampung Taman Sedia. If you are on a budget you could rent a Mountain Bike to move around(provided at a few locations), it would be fun. Give it another try, you will enjoy.
thumbs up for the pickup truck 8:20
You guys should go do a series on the Orang Asli tribes.
Yes we local will drive own own car up CH, easier to get around. Lucky you guys managed to hitch to get back to tanah rata
The taxi driver is right. The problem is only the price 😂 But everything else is true. Mossy forest is the best one
taxi driver so right about mossy forest . should add to your trip list next time
I rested with my family for 4 days in conjunction with Eid al-Fitr recently. I stayed in Brinchang because it was close to tourist locations. I just passed by outside Bharat Tea Farm but to Boh Teh farm and there is a quite interesting cafe. I enjoy nasi lemak with rendang. In Brinchang there is a sheep and alpaca breeding center. Night market every Saturday and Sunday at Golden Hill. I enjoyed baked corn and sweet potato wedges. There is a few food court. There is also a modern mall. You should try their ice cream too. There are other options for those who like to climb mountains enjoying the flora and fauna of tropical forests.
Actually in Cameron Highland there is a vlogger's video that I saw renting motorbikes.
Actually your spot on , I am British and know that Brinchang is by way the better location on Cameron Highlands, one you are better at least to going out by car back down the mountain, heading to Ipoh , simply as the Jams are crazy , heading away from Tana Rata , sightseeing is so much better in Brinchang 👍
Have a good day 😘🙋🏽♂️✅🇲🇾
Thanks Truck Driver For Your Ride
Go,to perhentian island at terengganu malaysia laaaa...
Try our ocean laaa...
Test east part panunsila food laaa....sea food laaa....and more laaaaa x1000 laaaa
I don't know what you eat but i think 50++ for the dishes like that is quite expensive.
Good content keep up the good work.
Thank you 🙏
Cameron look beautiful country
take Grab there
fUNNY Star 9.00 min ..very happy
Next video plss...😅
Kind of think of it, i never saw local buses plying CH before.
let s go to the north Thailand and find out a lot more fun ...
The place is so cold like l cannot survive without jacket😮
Mossy Forest need a guide and about 6hrs to and fro... Only in the morning...
I recommend for you,use car,grab or maxim car..
First time I heard tea plantation smell like nasi lemak😅..You guys can rent a motorcycle, more freedoms to roam. You did not go for a hike? Mossy forest?
Is kuantan flower fried rice the pink ones
Yes mulberry
In 0:47 correct it is cold and no aircond I live in Malaysia and went to Cameron highland you see the smoke it is not call smoke or what in Chinese we call it 乌 it means wu you can also go to camping the locations is also at Cameron highland the place is called one ground you can also see a lot of spider webs during the cold weather correct the night is very cold
You can rent motorcycle, the cheapest way to go around in CH
You should go to Sarawak highland
I'm assuming the Airport you mentioned is KLIA-2 and seeing that this is "Travels on Toast", I doubt you would have taken a domestic flight within Western Malaysia (or Peninsular Malaysia), so it must be Borneo. Have fun you guys and as always, cheers 🍺.
You know us well!
Don't forget to try Nasi Lemak Strawberry
Nasi Lemak strawberry.? What on earth is that.?? 😮😮
@@caspeansea9619 Yess.. only in Cameron Highlands
For real? Sounds interesting 🤔
Hello just founfd your chanel great content. Could you please tell me if they add 16 percent survice charge on accomadation and restaurants. And how it works any information would be helpful
Hi, thanks a lot
We didn't notice any extra charge when we were there, but it could be hidden in the price. Food is a little more than other places in Malaysia but if you're not on a tight budget it won't make much of a difference. Accomodation is cheaper though
@TravelsonToast thank you very helpful have a nice Sunday
please go to sabah this month (MAY)..we have a harvest festival on 30-31 of may
I think that they already in sabah
Ya, Mario said they are flying to an island in Malaysia, big possibility that they are in Borneo already.
Actually I saw them at todak waterfront last week (or a week before last week)
I agree ..that driver just want to make extra money.luckily u choose this place tea farm❤
It's a tourist spot so normal food can be quite expensove
Me and my family went to the tea plantation a few days ago and we payed 10 ringgit per person there was 6 of and we bought the ticket for getting down using the car. But we still had to walk
And anyways I am eating strawberry 🍓 right now after collecting strawberries in the strawberry farm in cameron
Guys just a word of advise , please have a bit of courtesy to pay a bit of money to the driver hitchhike u guys , its how we do here, unless u pay then good for you 👍🏻
hi, thanks for your information. what was name of hotel you were staying? do you think i can walk in and can get a room? or make a reservation early?
Suria holiday apartment, maybe check on booking.com in case it is fully booked
Going to tioman? Or Sabah?
Nice dark green "Rover" vehicles made in 🇬🇧🤣
hitchhike was really awesome hhahahahaha😜😝🤣🤣🤣
You must know in Cameron Highlands eat food,taxi and all very high price because Cameron Highlands in mountain
Dont forget to climb to Gunung Brinchang Lookout Tower
🫶
Can't go to Mount Brinchang anymore.. and there is no lookout tower up there..
Only at Mossy Forest Eco Park
@@jamizal4522 dangg.... i dont know that... what a pity...
@@UbaithurRahman yeah. They dismantle it.. and put a gate after Mossy Forest park area.. so can't go there anymore.. due to few safety reasons..so we can only reach untill Mossy Forest Eco Park entrace...
Pls come over and visit CH 😊🙏🏼
@@jamizal4522 cameron highland is like my second home for me last time...always stayed at rainbow hotel brinchang... im working as a distributor for cameron highland travel ,guide and maps flyers under sunspot company located at alor setar... that was 20 years ++😆... iam retired now.

Have u travel to Sabah n Sarawak. If u like natures why not try travel to Sabah.
We made a few videos in Sabah :)
👍👍👍
You didn't go to the Mossy Forest???!!! Such a waste, the forest is magical 😅.....it's a good reason for you come again, maybe try an 8 hour hike to Mount Irau next time
Bro you are coming a country
17:20 He said that after he ate it, bro are you serious 😂😂😂
Rent a scooter. Best way to get around.
What was that Indian taxi driver was saying
I heard him say was "coral mossy forest"
Coral ???
I thought coral is in the sea
he said horror mossy forest
You guys are in Sabah now? Fuiyoh!
😃😃

There's a skate park there for Mario to use...
You guys will be treated very well for obvious reasons

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Langkawi
Beef soup can be expensive
58 is very pricey to me...
For me too. Bloody traders
Maybe a place to retire to. The temperature all year is perfect!! Very little temperature fluctuation either.
Cameron highlands is no longer how it used to be 35 years ago. Its landscape has changed. It is much more urbanised and the air quality has deteriorated a lot because it has become super touristy and with the increase in human activities and businesses these few decades, it is very much polluted with litter everywhere and. Maintenance and upkeep of the public premises is very much neglected. Worse, you see traffic jams, even on the mountain roads that go to tourist attractions! All these have taken a toll on the flora and fauna and natural beauty of Cameron Highlands. The government has not done enough to preserve this once beautiful, lush and green mountains.
It's a shame to hear that 😔
Tiger 🐯
The taxi uncle is telling the truth... I understand if you doesn't believe him at first, if im in your place i will do the same. For the price, not sure it is a good price or not.
U should rent a motorbike there❤
Orang Malaysia pun kena bayar mahal di Cameron Highlands takkan lah korang Warga asing perlu bayar murah... Cameron Highlands tu atas gunung Takdenya nak murah
Those Huge Angel Trumpet Flowers are definitely toxic so please be carefull...
Hello 😊, to be honest I’m lease rent a car, it make your life easy. In doing this 10 year already, im from East Malaysia, village boy bit i onow what to do
