Ignore my first comment. I am planning tentatively End Aug since i get some feedbacks from my colleagues that during Sept, the waves are quite strong and might be dangerous.

Firstly, how many D/N trip do you guys prefer? I am thinking of Fri-Mon (4D/3N).
How about you guys?

Secondy, we have 2 choices to travel there. Either by Bus or Plane.

Plane: Via Berjaya Air (Around 1 Hr 15 Mins)

We were actually sitting on the stairs eating the street food with the stalls right in front of us.
Haha, but to me, it's reali nice.
I miss the papaya salad, the corn with butter (different from spore!! they added butter + milk! vr nice!!), the barbeque meat stick, etc etc! i simply miss all the food!! I wanna visit there again!!

There are actually a lot more photos, but it takes really long to upload all 300 plus photos!

In conclusion, i truly enjoy the whole 6D5N trip, and i believe others do enjoy too =)

Love you guys!
