Sunset in Tioman Island







Evening in Tioman. This is a peaceful island. Not much of entertainment at night. As such, it is a very nice place for relaxing. 



The beach is facing the west, soI was able to enjoy the beautiful sunset. The weather is good and hardly rain during this season. Most of the time, in KL, I will not be able to enjoy the nice scenery of sunset even though some time I work in high raise building and facing the west. The time I reach home is normally late and after the sunset.



Me may praise and proud of this here, but for those people who are living in island may not like it. Human are like this, when you are having it, you will never appreciate it. When you lose it, you will try all ways to get it back again.



I was a kampong boy and I stayed in a very quite and peaceful village before. At that time, we hardly find night life entertainment in our kampong. 



But at that time, people were hoping for night life entertainments. But now, after it is developed into a small town, people are complaining about polution, cultural shocks, noise and etc which cause by development. 



I spent about 7 days in Tioman for this holiday trip. Every morning, after breakfast, I go to beach with my family. In the afternoon, we come back to the resort for a short nap and food.



Afternoon, about 2pm, we will go to beach again. This kind life style is very similar to kampong boy life style. It makes me recall those days when I was in my hometown as a small boy. I did the same also. But, instead of going to beach, I go to the river and estate. Life was so simple.

Berjaya Resort, Tioman Island



Berjaya Resort. One of the top ranked resorts in Tioman Island, Malaysia. It has a long and beutiful beach. 
We heard from the staff in the resort, this island belongs to the Sultan of Pahang state. Berjaya group is leasing this island from the Sultan.


This recort has a nice lobby. At night, this maybe a nice place for meeting friends and talk about your tour experience during day time. 
At the same time you can also plan your following day tour.
As a tip, if you are taking Berajaya Air flight, you should check your flight schedule before you check out from the resort to avoid uneccessary waiting in the airport. If the flight is delayed, the resort will be informed. 


There is no worry of communcation in this island. There is Maxis mobile coverage here and and Maxis 3G coverage here. 
If you need Internet access, you can either use Maxis 3G or purchase Wifi service from the resort.


For those who like challenges, this Challenger Park may be a nice place for you. 


This is the swimming pool in the resort. There are two pools in the resort, this is just outside the restaurant Sri Melaka. You can enjoy your sun bath beside the pool and at the same time order your food and beverages from the restaurant.
