Kangar... Another royal city. Well done. I went there once to go to the Royal museum. I couldn't find it. Definitely quiet but well worth a detour off the main road. Great limestone outcrops nearby. Thanks for a great insight into some of Malaysia's less visited towns. Needless to say your style of presentation is a welcome change from the usual over the top travel vlogs.
I do hate the over the top travel vlogs! I actually saw a guy doing a vlog on the train coming into Thailand and I was cringing. He was saying how excited and how beautiful the experience was of being on a train!!! Bleurghhhh I got excited by trying to put my head out the window lol
@@olderbackpacker Sadly as the few much more successful than me vloggers that I know always tell me. You have to play the RUclips game. But, I just can’t bring myself to do the happy sing songy voice and say that literally everything is awesome. It’s also why I have mostly stopped making videos of me trying local food. People get angry when I say the food is awful, instead of following the RUclips script and claiming everything is the best ever. (that’s going to come back and bite me on the ass in two days when I do just that!)
Great Malaysia series.Know the feeling always a little sad to leave a place you enjoyed. Looking forward to the Thailand content. Always looking for off the beaten path places I haven't visited yet in the land of smiles and I haven't been in the south yet. Enjoy the holidays.
Thank you so much for the super like :) I know that Thailand has some surprising towns where no backpackers go to. I found lots of them earlier this year, they’re in my Thailand playlist! Trat was a really nice place
I worked in Kangar for a year in 93, sadly it does not appear to have changed for the better. It appears to have lost its heritage, many of the historic buildings have been replaced with ugly concrete structures.
@@olderbackpackeronce i went to Hat yai.. They have a hill where lies a buddha temple and big statue.. And also i went to the beach, not much to see at beach.. Also if you like Thai seafood, and some Thai snacks it's good place
Just to add 1358 on the Chief Minister's building is a reference to the Islamic calendar. Their year zero is the birth of the Prophet. The current year is 1446. Makes sense when you think about it. You have to love difference in this increasingly homogenised world.
Thx for showing malaysia, I got all the info I needed. Now, the next adventure to thailand. Good luck, I know it's going to be amazing 😊. If u ever need any technical support , don't hesitate to ask 😅
On the sign the only place I have not been to is Tokyo maybe one day. I have been in Malaysia for many years and you have been to some places I have never visited (a few I still don't want to!) You definitely got a good taste of the place. Enjoy Thailand. The Misses and I have decided to head to Thailand after Crimbo, So, maybe our paths could still cross!
Mate, it would be a pleasure to meet up with you both in Thailand! Especially as the next country is Myanmar!!! Just keep an eye out where I’ll be! As I have no plans at the moment!!! Oh, I’ve done Tokyo! Lol
if all powerful benevolent god is the true creator of every thing not the satans ruling you human slaves then why would god want & need to create you human slaves to keep growing hair & nails but not fingers toes teeth limbs eyes organs if you lose or damage them ?

Let's be honest Malaysia has more Royals than you can shake a stick at. No wonder every other town is Royal.

That street art was amazing. Been a great 2 month adventure and an exploration of Malaysia with you Stu, thanks for sharing your travels
I’m glad you enjoy them :)
What a wonderful place! I'm glad I could explore it through this video.❤👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
Hope you enjoy Malaysia & the shoutout to Kuching City🐱. May the weather is on your side until Christmas.
I still think Kuching is in my top ten cities in the world :) Weather will be better then UK! So I’m okay 😂😂
@@olderbackpacker do come back next year for christmas in Kuching for their annual Christmas parade and the new church of st peter
It'll grow...
(The maze)
Ha ha ha… that made me laugh. On my screen it just said the first sentence! I was like ‘what?’ Then clicked on it! 😂😂😂
The Stores is a shopping mall i.e The town centre
I was tempted to go in lol

Sounds like Kangar has lost its way with its own history? :(
Hope you enjoy your time in Thailand. Hat yai floating market is overrated so do go around the town instead of traveling a distance to that place.
Thanks for the advice :)

Year 0.. Not the birth of the Prophet (PBUH) but his Emigration from Mecca to Medina when he was about 53 years old.
@@arahman98100 Thanks for the correction

@@olderbackpacker atheism is religion like every other religion which are all based on beliefs not truth
