I have been to many countries around the world, and Malaysia is the best country I have ever been. The people and diverse culture are just extraordinary
Yes we love Malaysia - we have been to so many places but we keep finding new and wonderful places and people - we will be back again for sure 🙌🌺🤗
Thanks for the compliment... hope you all will come here again... if you love jungle, you should go to TAMAN NEGARA PAHANG(national park) which is in Pahang..
All we have here, beautiful beaches and sea with wind blowing rains so softly , jungles with flora and faunas and mountains.and also sometimes you can encounter with friendly ghost and animals to tame them.
I've just discovered ur channel, this is 2nd video i've watched. U guys are awesome & hilarious, especially when Marianne showed the gangster kitten 😂 & u guys flipping the roti canai. Enjoy Malaysia ❤
Thx a lot...proud to be Malaysian, do come by Kuantan Pahang..😊
I've been all over, I can tell you that Malaysians are BY FAR the nicest and warmest people I've ever met.. what a kind gentleman that was.

Wowww let's try to going in Malaysia❤❤❤
As a Brit, ex van lifer and less successful vlogger, now living in Malaysia. I have the utmost respect for your journey. I dreamed of doing it, but in reality, I would never have the ability to do it.
My Wife and I would certainly kill each other.
We love Malaysia and its people and never want to leave.
Oh and Roti Canai and Kopi is the breakfast of champions.
Really? Is it really sincere from your soul? If true, I thank you very much 🤲🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
• RUclipsr from Melaka, Malaysia 🇲🇾🌺
No wonder Roti Canai was voted the best bread in the world.
BTW don’t you miss Fish & Chips?
I have lived in England for 5 yrs plus, I miss F&C most ... can’t get the same taste in Msia.
@@968aro I miss Fish and Chips a lot, especially when my Malaysian friends send me a link to yet another 'Western' style place claiming to sell British fish and chips and it's slimy Dory, they don't have Malt Vinegar or Heinz Ketchup.
And Roti Canai and a cup of Kopi is pure heaven!
@@SilverfoxJB The best F&C that I hv ever eaten was in Renaissance Hotel in KL b4 PKP ie 2019. It was Cod with chips;however the hotel closed down in 2020.
Now there is another restaurant by the name of Cor Blimey. I would say 80% of UK taste.
It has 3 outlets in KL and a few in the UK. The one that I often go to is in Damansara Utama. It has Cod, Cherry snapper and a few other fish variety including Dory ( give dory a miss). It serve malt vinegar too.
The only thing that it slacked , it doesn’t serve Kopi and coffee. Give it a try bro. Pls tell me yr review later.
@@968aro Thank you, next time I'm in KL, I will try to go. Best fish and chips I ever had was in New Zealand
That's why I love my fellow Malay. I'm Malaysian Chinese anyway. :)
We are much more alike than we are difference. We are Malaysians ❤️🇲🇾
Love u too Max! 😘
@@bymx1740 Exactly.
We love each other my friend
me too I came from a mixed cultures n races families..always missed malaysia where ever I b
Malaysian have been nice to foreigners since the beginning of time. You can just enjoy your tour here without worrying about your safety.
Hahaha..key word : since the beginning of time. Thats why we have soooo many people coming here since centuries ago 😅
Malaysians are just the best ♥️ my favourite place on earth
I lived in Malaysia & married 1981..Lived on the beach in Balok, 10 mins or so from Kuantan near by to Cherating which had then just one basic restraurant with a few tables overlooking a prestine beach. We lived in a simple wooden house on stilts with balconies overlooking the beach & coconut trees. There were very few cars in those days transport was by taxis & rickity buses. There were also the dreaded logging trucks hauling huge trunks of wood, initiating the ongoing destruction of the jungle. No real tourism to speak off. Just occassional travellers passing through..Lived in Taman Negara for awhile..6 hours down the river on a clearing, just 2 couples & 2 infants..The nearest settlement a handful of kampong houses a 6 hour walk through serious jungle..Had my own hut with a mat on the floor overlooking the river & would fall asleep listening to all the Orangatans chatting among themselves..Returned to Kuantan in 2004..Did not recognize anything..The traffic was horrendous, the coconut plantations abutting the beach gone, the chickens running around freely not to be seen and no roaming caribou like the ones that wandered down the shoreline as the sun was setting every evening..There were no supermarkets in Kuantan..Dresses were tailor made! It was simple life ..My only neighbour could just be seen, loads of children that played on the beach their dad a fisherman. We had a well, no running water, an an outside loo! For me returning was a sad experience, a paradise lost. I believe much of Taman Negara has been destroyed & planted with the dreaded palm oil, terrible for the environment & animal life..We travelled around Malaysia in our VW, visited Cammeron highlands where we stayed in a lovely old colonial hotel..The jungle was still prolific then, just a few tea & coffee plantations. The biggest draw back for me was the heat!! It's always a challenge to return to places & witness total change! I do however miss the generous spirits of the Malays & of course the food!! But I like long cool walks & am fortunate to live in Suffolk, which on the whole has remained relativeltly peaceful & unspoilt. Have been fortunate to have travelled extensively & adventurously around the world, East & West over the last 45 years plus, so happy now to settle! Wishing you happy journeys!
Really ?? Hard to believe.. I feel your explanation like India Country.. better you take video or picture with GPS.. well we don't want to call our visitors a liars.. so give us damn video & pict.. 😊
@@PCai2012 I have lots of photos from that time! Are you Malay? Do you know Balok near Kuantan or are familiar with Taman Negara?
@@aisharoberts2583he must be from younger generation who never experience what we had during those days. Even we don't like it but some parts of it need to be sacrificed for development. I really hope the government actively preserve our oldest rainforests to the max. Pity to some wildlife which suffering from those deforestation.
@@ocshaljufrian6109 ni dah lari topik dah ni...tau la nak promote pun
Hi Aisha. I live in Beserah, 5 KM from Balok. I ve been to Taman Negara a few times.
As for Balok, i only see a lot of developmemt and improvement instead of destruction. There are many nice shops with proper toilets & parking spaces being build along Balok & Batu Hitam beaches. Many locals enjoyed nice evenings & weekend in the beaches.
However, not much happening further north of Balok up to Cherating, I think due to lack of visitors and tourist. Many appartment complexes along Sg Ular road being abandoned, worst still due to Covid. There are plans for massive development in these areas with completion of ECRL and a new airport and upgrade of Kuantan Port.
As for the Taman Negara, I believe the oil palm plantation never encroach the Park Area.The proper park area is on the other side of the Tahan River, and I dont see a single palm tree there, only virgin jungle to the brim.
Thank you.
This was just brilliant Chris and Marianne. What an appealing country and that temple was just breathtaking. Don’t know if it’s just me but people in Asian countries seem to have so much more empathy and respect than people in the west these days.
Always been.
Yes Richie 🙂
Love and respect from Türkiye
🤝🏻🇹🇷
white man...god..
Seeing your video, makes me appreciate more about what we have here in our country. Thank you guys.
Indeed... I've lived in some of the most livable and unlivable places in the world, and I understood the desire friends in Malaysia had to seek intrigue and life outside of Malaysia, but often reminded them that what seemed more appealing elsewhere was not always what it seemed or better than what they would leave behind in Malaysia.
I am originally from Malaysia but now lives in N Ireland. Your travels in Malaysia is awe inspiring and your commentary is both accurate and entertaining. I just admire the way you cover your travels and depict the country and your honesty about your experiences. I can't wait to enjoy your coverage when you reach Ipoh, my hometown. Safe travels to you both and Trudy!
Buat apa bro kat ireland
How's your life over there dude
Im an Ipoh guy too, working in KL, but certainly going to move back to Ipoh once I retire. Ipoh (if you havent been back recently) has become more & more flourished as one of Malaysia's top tourist spots... Singaporeans would fly to Ipoh on weekends just to enjoy the haven for food..(because the flight fare is cheaper than travel by cars) .Not to mention, Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh has also been a great icon, many of Hong Kong artistes know about Ipoh because of her reputation.
Malaysia has it all. Stunning countryside stunning beaches THE best food in the world Besides Italy and the Barracuda Chippy in Wakefield ;-) And definitely the nicest people you could wish to meet.
Love the recommendations for the Chippy in Wakefield !! 😉🤗🇬🇧🚐
คุณพูดเกินไป อาหารมาเลเซียแทบจะไม่มีอะไรมีชื่อเสียงเลย 555
General meaning for "cicah" (chee-chah) is dipping into gravy/sauce. Cicoh is a slang in the east coast states. The restaurant spells it differently, but sounds the same to make the place unique. Will be watching you guys closely. Safe trip!
yes diverse dialects. like boston to toronto to texas. they speak malay street dialects and slang..
In some part of sabah and in brunei they say caca, the sound like caca dance..
Love the interaction with the locals. It's fun ,the best thing to do in a foreign country.
Awesome video as always Chris and Marianne. Malaysia is such a friendly country full of friendly people. And the food looked so delicious especially the bread and curry. I'm on Team Chris spicy all the way.🔥🔥🔥
So many memories keep coming back....lived in Singapore and JB for three years..❤
Its interesting that the caves have two different religious significance in it. Hinduism and Buddhism. The priest that spoke to you also looked like a Hindu priest but he was managing a Buddhist shrine. Thats the unique thing about cross culture and religious cohesim in Malaysia.
🇲🇾 Truly Asia
Greetings from David, Kampar,Perak. So glad that you both had been enjoying the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia so far. Truly informative and entertaining,is all i can classify your videos! Great! Making a wise change of plans,is a Very good decision!The floods in the East Coast are Seriously Dangerous! Happy Touring..if you plan to drive via Kampar somehow en route to Ipoh, do let me know. Will be very honored to meet you both
The roads and sights in Malaysia are just so beautiful!
I don't think that even the Malaysians know that caves hiking placed. Very interesting spot seem no one ever visit before but quite well maintained.
Glad to see that the wet weather does not dampen the spirit of the local Malaysian people.We are very contented,simple happy lot.You guys too,enjoying every step of the way.
Its so informative this video that I get to know about the vanilla farm. Really love how both of you like to make unplanned stops and made us realise that all this exists in Malaysia.
Thank you
Suka tgk video ni..amazing journey by caravan from UK..inspirasi utk saya sbb saya pon plan nak journey mcm ni dgn kancil saya one day...
Boleh cuba pusing Semenanjung dulu. Itu pun dah cukup menarik 😂
@@izkrnv9276 dah puas..kancil dah jalan merata semenanjung..sabah sarawak je tak smpai lagi dgn kancil..enjin standrd tak pnh breakdown atas jalan..hehe
Kuantan is my hometown & I've been living here for more than 50 years.During this time of the year,it rains almost every day.Take care while traveling during the monsoon because floods or landslides can happen any time.Enjoy your trip!
love from kuantan
Sad that you skipped Terengganu & kelantan routes, its astonishing sea view along the way & delicious food
I think due to weather conditions
Yeah like the other person said, also flooding there right now.
Next time! Due to flooding it would be unsafe for us to go - but we will be back
You guys are fun to follow. Such a lovely and interesting off-the-path trip.
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you Chris and Marry Ann! As I set here on a dark, wet and miserable day in an anti-social and dangerous city in America, this was a much needed and refreshing reminder of the warmth of an old home away from home, that brought a few tears of Joy. Best to you and everyone in Malaysia, and I hope you will all have a blessed New Year.
Happy New Year Jack! Thanks for your wishes to us Malaysians. Same goes to you, hopefully 2024 bestow you with many blessings ahead.
Don't dwell too long in your dark moment, it's important to get fresh air sometimes. Please take care because like others, you are matters!
@@azwasaaidns3936 Thanks again and than you for the advice. We've all have dark moments and it's important to be able to spend a few moments with with those who offer reminders of better moments and places, as well as hope and inspiration to spend time or relocate to better places and times.
Many years ago, about the time you were in Malaysia Chris, Malaysia and Japan were for a while my home away from home and while not perfect living, were the happiest and some of most transformative places of my life, and you sharing your return to Malaysia is not only a pleasure but an inspiration to return.
Cheers!
@@jackoneil3933 maybe it's time for your comeback to Malaysia, don't you think? Even if it's for a moment, escapism for mental & spiritual healings could make it a worthwhile journey. Wish you welcome in advance!
@@azwasaaidns3936 Thanks for the kind wishes, and I believe you are right.
Having worked, traveled and lived around the world decades ago, several older friends and random people I encountered in places like Mexico, Florida, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Spain who were looking for a place to escape America or the U.K. and retire, asked me where I would go, and I suggested they consider Malaysia.
Now that I'm at that point of my life, and so many things in America are worse than decades ago, now to the point that the retired person can't afford to live, or would want to, I've been looking for places to escape to, and after taking a pretty bad hit financially and business wise over the last few years, Any trip out of America would pretty much have to be a one-way trip.
Before 2020 I had considered going back to Malaysia and even considered Thailand, Australia, Turkey, the Republic of Georgia and a couple of places in South America and the Caribbean, but with recent global changes Malaysia is still top of my option list, but with resent changes to income and fixed-deposit requirements, the Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) and the less demanding Sarawak MM2H program are still a bit of a challenge for me, but I may have no choice but to go somewhere outside the U.S.
A most basic Flat where I live has went from $500/month before the pandemic to approaching $2,000 a month now, and when I'm kicked out of my current place so the land lord and double the rent, like many Americans I will be homeless with $2500 a month of retirement income, and if that happens I'll most likely have to leave the U.S. and visa hop, and If so Malaysia would likely be my first stop, and see if I can work out some way to reside long term.
Cheers and best wishes.
Where are you from? I’m Malaysian lived in Oregon. You are welcome visit my country anytime
I follow your channel since you arrived in Malaysia. thank you because you feel comfortable here & indirectly you have tried various foods & gone to interesting places.. You have also helped to promote this country to the outside world in general... thank you very much...
The best hospitality in the wotld is Malaysian especially by 'Malay' 🙂
Hope you enjoy Malaysian hospitality. Have a great adventure in Malaysia. Welcome!
You are so lucky to explore and show us the beautiful places in the East coast. I am from KL Malaysia now in UK.
Been to Batu cave but not this natural cave. Just love the views and the animals enroute.
Thank you for the lovely videos and the vanilla plants. This is new to me again. I have been to many countries in my life time. Should go back to visit family again. Should explore a bit too. Thank you. Good and safe travels.
Wow, I've never seen vanilla growing. That would be a fantastic place to go tour!
You guys are such intrepid travellers! I would never have gone up those last steps to the temple - real fear of heights - but what an incredible temple to visit! And the vanilla ice cream would certainly be on my list of to-do’s!! Keep safe and keep trucking! 🥰
Holly molly what a lovely couple 💑 I can't get enough watching of your vlog every single day at least 3hour to be honest 👏 I'm from Malaysia living in London ..I'm from pahang termelor just you went..it was chuffed to watching 👀I'm very proud of you guys..safe trip 😀

I’m new to your channel and been following your journey. I’m a Malaysian and tourist like you two made me appreciate how lucky I am to live in this country :) love your journey and keep sharing and spreading the positivity 😊
Welcome!!
Best country in the world,MALAYSIA!❤❤❤
What a great video! Loved every second of it👍😊 you guys have traversed places where many Malaysians have never set foot😊
I've really seen and learned so much from watching foreign RUclipsrs like yourselves. Never knew we grew vanilla in Malaysia. Good choice to avoid the flood prone areas on the east coast. Better be safe than sorry. Wishing you good health for the new year 2024 😊
Thank you 🌺
I AM totally amazed of your discovering travel In Malaysia. That temples seems wonderly, I am borned and bred in Malaysia ,but I have never been to those places😊
Hihi me too
Me three
Never heard of that cave and never knew we have vanilla in Malaysia... and yet I am from Malaysia... huhu
Welcome to Malaysia for both of you, we love to hear you plan to Kelantan. Hopefully, to meet both of you can show you interesting places around my hometown.Kelantan is well known for female entrepreneurs and the cradle of Malaysian culture.
Just started watching your videos. I noticed that you both frequent mamak or Malay food. Don't forget to try Malaysian Chinese food. :)
I think he has tried mee johor by Chinese restaurant in Johor before.
Another Wonderful journey! Thank you for showing Malaysians, Malaysia 🤗
Thanks to Chris and Marianne. This is amazing for bringing us to visit the beautiful cave that were not aware. I was born and live in kuantan for so many years and we didn't know there is an amazing cave here. Thanks again for your nice videos of the adventures. We love them. ;)
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for coming along with us on the adventure - we will be back to Kuantan form more food and friendship !! 🌺😉🙏🤗
@@TREADtheglobe Thank you! We love it! :)
Food is a wonderful ice breaker for meeting new people as we all enjoy eating ❤
Absolutely !!
This was an exciting video! So much fun and educational too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You two just MAKE my Sunday Mornings. Your videos fill me with inspiration and joy. Love seeing people live their best lives and you two are slaying it!!! Love your adventures can't wait to see what's next. All the best on your journeys and safe travels!!!
Wow, thank you!
Further up ahead from the cave is actually Sungai Lembing, also a well known local tourist area with many old buildings and things to see.
Some of the best travel vlogs I have seen have been on motorcycles, so I say go for it when all this is done.
This was amazing, such lovely kind people and those caves were incredible!! We done uk/Andorra and back home to Spain on a goldwing (When we were much younger haha) it was an incredible journey, but I looked like John Wayne for a few days my legs killed me haha xx
Msia ' s climate is hot and wet throughout the year and we are located near the equator. Thank you for coming t Msia and hope you enjoy your stsy and travelling in our country. If any problems and difficulties you faced mayfaed during your trip here, we as r forgiveness . Hope you do enjoy your stay here . Thank you...

You are very friendly too with the locals. People reciprocates 😊
safe journey to you, from a malaysian here....
You guys might know this already but the unexpected rainy weather is expected to go on until mid February and several areas in East Coast is flooded. Do use Waze or The Stars to keep updated about the weather and closed routes.
Thanks for the tip - Yes Waze in Malaysia 👍
that icecream looked fantastic and I love salty caramel!
I'm new on this channel and very like the content about experiance travel the whole world. I'm stuck to this channel because it's in Malaysia and i stay at Mersing where both of you passed by. Hope both of you enjoy along the trip in Malaysia. Stay safe and becarefull along the road. I excited to wait your next video in Malaysia.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching 🌺
If you fill lost just stop at any shop or stall beside the road and ask around. If they are locals the eill know the Places there. You can save time if you start asking around when you stop to eat at places you wanted to go. Double check your previous info along the Way. You will get to yr destination fast and save times.
Safe journey in my country. I’m glad you were travelling to johor before. If your vehicle in trouble just ask to the local. They can bring you to the nearest workshop
Thanks for the tips!
I really enjoyed your video. Have a safe and pleasant journey ahead.
Im malaysian, i have a dream living a van in malaysia.. u really inspired me to do this after i completed my study😇
Just do it, young man! Go explore the world! Don't wait until you're 50 😁
I’m so envious of you two! Keep up the great vlogs
You missed the lovely beaches Teluk Chempedak n Cherating in Kuantan!
Yeah, wonderful beaches. Amazing atmosphere
I just came back from a day trip from Jeli to Grik, surprisingly, i sighted an elephant to and fro along the road, big male elephant, real life safari!
A fantastic episode and I want to thank you both for climbing up all those steps so we don't have to 😀
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m in Oceanside CA and usually watch you Sunday morning but happened apon you tonight,! Safe travels!
Awesome! Thank you!
nice video Chris & Marianne. tq. Kuantan is always special to me. went to st thomas secondary school there 1983-1987. Pristine beaches ( telok cempedak, balok, beserah, cherating), kuantan river front, seafood at tg lumpur, jeti nelayan at padang lalang.... so so nostalgic.
tq again to both of you. the world is full of beautiful people and we should enjoy and share it. It is kinda sad with the wars in Gaza & Ukraine and now spilling to Yemen.
btw Chris, i used to work in hospitals around Uk (walsgrave, birmingham, hereford, bedford, QMC to name a few) and i found patients and colleagues were nice as well. but admittedly, winter could be a despair hahaha.
safe journey to you both and keep finding new spots that even we locals yet to discover.
What a fabulous video! Thanks sooo much!
Selamat Datang ke Malaysia 🇲🇾
Careful when heading up to Cameron Highlands - all that rainfall means the risk of landslides. Roads leading up to all highland areas - Cameron Highlands, Fraser's Hill and Genting Highlands all face increased landslide risk during the monsoon season due to poorly-regulated development. The incline on these roads might be challenging for your camper van too! You might want to consider meandering up the west coastal road (instead of the main central highway). It'll take you to small towns like Kuala Selangor and Teluk Intan, where time seems to have stuck in the late 70s or okay, maybe the 90s. More info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Federal_Route_5
Great vídeo as ever, I had nott seen you since Long time ago!
Welcome to Malaysia Chris n Marianne. I'm loving yr adventures. Do try all the different types of super delicious food n hv a great time in Malaysia.
cant wait to see your vlog on cameron highland...
so far its been a pleasure whenever your video pop up, keep up the great work
What a very nice video! You both are a lovely couple, please stay healthy and lovely with each other on and off camera 💕 And thank you for putting that kitten photo, ha ha! That's worth my subscription to your channel right about now! 😂😂
When ppl say Malaysians are very friendly they are not exaggerating
Teşekkürler güzel paylaşımlar için,yolunuz açık olsun...
What a lovely sweet couple .
Oh i love vanilla! How fortunate can u be to have found that vanilla place!
Loving your adventure! ❤
Thank you!! 😊
im a malaysian in KL 😮😮, the first time i know such a big cave in kuantan , looks like i have a new plan this year
Cameron highland seems to be a better choice than the east coast at this time of year. Do stop at the indigenous village and you can try out the blowpipes. And drink tea at the tea plantation. Drive safe guys..
Love your video... can't wait for your next video. Hati hati memandu its raining season here in our country, safe travel... May Allah bless both of you.. jaga diri!
Thank you 🙌
Absolutely beautiful especially the cave. Have you thought about selling photographs of your travels? As some of the places you visit are wonderful.
Video Yang Menarik..🤩✌️
I’ve just found your channel. Absolutely love it. We live in Chiang Mai but really enjoy Malaysia too. Hanging out with the locals is the BEST
Amazing journey ❤❤❤
If you manage to get to Penang Island be sure to visit the Kek Lok Si Temple it's stunning. We had a 5 day stopover at Batu Ferringhi on route to New Zealand in 1999. The food was as good as I've tasted anywhere and the people are wonderfully friendly.
A tailor made me a wonderful suit overnight and delivered it to my hotel room before we set off for the airport, 14 hours from start to delivery! He kept apologizing for the price but said that he had to pay his staff extra because it was a holiday. How much did it cost? £30 and I've still got it and it still looks good.
Did hope to return but not yet managed it! Hoping that you could take us there👍👍
Hi we did a family holiday video there many years ago when we first started RUclips and wanted to practice making videos 😂🙏
Please come to Kelantan & Terengganu. You will love that.. January is good for visit, only November & December bad weather here..
*BEAUTIFUL* quote at the start!!! Marianne's "enthusiasm" for going out in the deluge gave us both chuckles, as did the movie clip in the sponsor message. 🤣
The water buffalo were amazing! What is the symbiotic relationship with the egrets, I wonder? They sure do look interested in what the buffalo are doing.
What an amazing cave temple! 😱🤯 Well worth the effort it would seem from your reactions.
Might not want Smell-O-Vision for the sweaty vanlifer bits, but I sure did for the vanilla beans! 🤤
All the best, you guys!! ❤️❤️😎👍xx
Thanks both - what an amazing adventure - we are excited to eat ice cream in the UK with you guys too !! woo hoo
Thank you for choosing Malaysia...glad that you loved our country...we do hope to see you back here ...and have a safe journey back to England🙏🏾 lots of love ❤ from 🇲🇾
Thank you! 😃
You eat tempoyak! Awesome! Have a safe and wonderful journey
You guys were kind and respectful to the locals, the locals will treat you the same way. 😃
祝你俩旅遊愉快❤👍
nice video as always. quite shocked and a bit sad that you have to take detour from original route. really looking forward your experience and journey to east coast especially kelantan. but due to monsoon season and flood, it understandable. keep it up and have a nice journey. drive safe
We will be back for more !!
Nice video👍👍 If you are changing your route to Cameron, you might be passing Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary in Temerloh, Pahang. It is open at 10am.
