In the past, it is much more convenient to travel to Hatyai on the overnight sleeper train (the old Intercity Express Trains) which...

Neither formed by dissolution of limestone or other geological process, Gua Batu Maloi is not a “real cave”. Made up of congregation of huge boulders and rock formation, two rivers, one from Gunung Tampin...
