Bangkok 曼谷 前奏 Prelude

"上有天堂,下有曼谷的购物天堂."

这是曼谷暂时给予我的印象.

筹划着下一趟曼谷的人文探索之旅. 有人想随队吗?


Bangkok oh Bangkok. I wish I can know you more.
I will be back very soon.
Hope that next trip I can get some "not so tourist" shot.
I want something raw and real :)

Kuala Selangor, Sekinchan


每一次到了这个地方里看见那里的景色心都会念起一首唐诗:


锄禾日当午,

汗滴禾下土.

谁知盘中餐,

粒粒皆辛苦.”


这个地方就是雪兰娥的米库又称渔米之乡的适耕庄 (Sekinchan).



Sekinchan, an agricultural and fishing village situated at Northern Selangor under Sabak Bernam municipal. The place is also best known as the "rice bowl" of Selangor as there is the main paddy plantation site of the state. Geographically nearby the sea shore (Malacca Strait), fishery is also one of the main economy activities of the village. It took about 1~ 1 1/2 hrs of driving duration from KL to there via LATAR Highway. 

Generally, the place is a much peaceful place compare to KL. At least the phase here is slower and sometimes there got no 3G coverage (which is good, so that you won't keep browsing FB, Twitter and whatsoever and your smart phone can have a short rest too :P). It is consider as one of the cheapest trip and it is not that far to have a short breakaway and mind freeing.

A retreat place that I will be there for several times a year.   

(more pic coming soon...to be continue...)

Kuala Selangor, Bukit Melawati.


Prior reaching Sekinchan, the route will passby Kuala Selangor where Bukit Melawati (Melawati Hill) is also situated there. On top of the hill, there is a lighthouse which is still functioning and seashore is visible there. The mean of reaching the top of the hill can be via trump and the ticket price is about RM2 if I'm mistaken. OR you can walk up to the hill which may took about 20~30mins.
