#familytrips2024 #awesomepic #awesomepic Giam Island is one of the island you would/ could visit if you purchase an island hopping trip. It is a suitable activities to do with family even with young children. We took this package with Setiakawan Watersports where they also provide life vest and googles for snokeling.

Go check them out if you are planning on visiting.

Coral Beach is located in Perak state. Beaches are clean with warm water and good swimming spots. The Island is a fun place to spend you holiday and hideouts from the hectic environments. There are many food stall selling interesting food. You can also enjoy boat rides, picnics and watch the sunset. However there are no public toilets or surau here in this side if the beach and we had to use nearby restaurant facilities. #malaysia

Lovely quiet place. Walking distance to the jetty where you can get to Pangkor within 10-15 mins. Facing Marina Island and Resort Hotel are many yachts stationed there. Lovely sight. I think those yachts - some been turned as their home, some perhaps undergoing maintenance. And near the jetty is Daddy's Cafe with good food and you can chill there and watch the sunset. #mytripvlog #marinaisland #beachlife #deliciousfood #shortvacay

We absolutely loved our stay at Pangkor Laut Resort. We had been to Pangkor Island before but the views don't get even close to what you have at PLR. The staff is great, always greeting you by your name and making themselves available to help. The food is amazing!!! Absolutely loved this resort!#mytripvlog

I rarely go to a lodging place and plus, this time around, it was with my whole big fam. From time to time, my big family from my mom side would organize a trip, like a reunion to engage back all the family members. It was a splendid 3 days and 2 nights, we had BBQ for two nights in a row, we were in the pool most of the time because of all the children- they love to play in the water so much. And also, it's very near to the beach! I would walk to the beach early in the morning. I remember some of the locals said Hi to me, they were really friendly. I don't remember much about the price, might be about RM 200 per night for a room. They have personal bathroom in each of the room, and air conditioned as well.

It's a 15-minute speedboat ride from the port, about an hour's drive from Ipoh, Malaysia! Since it's one island, one resort, the entire island is a resort and only guests can enter🏝 It's great to escape the usual noise and relax on a quiet island✨ There are many facilities, such as two pools, a spa, a gym, tennis courts, squash, a game room (table tennis, billiards, darts, various board games, etc.), a recording room (it was fully booked and we couldn't use it, but maybe karaoke?), a theater room, etc., so we stayed for three nights and never got bored. There is also a sunset cruise, but it costs extra✨When we went, it was over capacity and we couldn't get on😢 Above all, the emerald beach on the back of the island is very beautiful!! ! We spent most of the daytime there. The prices are set for tourists, so it's expensive for Malaysia, but please go on a special occasion. #Couple trip #Family trip

Sunset cruise is one of the activities I did when I was staying at Pangkor Laut Resort, and it is a worthwhile activity to do there, simply the best . The boat is leaving from the Pangkor Laut Jetty at 5.30 pm, sailing around Pangkor Island. The boat has an upper deck for passengers to sit; if the weather is permitted; otherwise, all passengers should sit inside the boat. The sunset hour is magical time; the sun turns golden and paints the sky a beautiful magical, and unreal color. I am so lucky to witness the rainbow near the end of the cruise trip. Enjoy the cruise and the sunset with the drink of your choice, including wine and some snacks. Spent that moment with your loved ones. Location : Pangkor Laut Resort, Malaysia #gooutside #malaysia

#summervacay Our Setiawan food adventure was a journey through tradition, comfort, and delicious nostalgia. This trip was more than just food—it was a taste of Setiawan’s heritage, served in every bite. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic local flavors with heart. We started with the iconic Cheong Cia Gong Pian, where the crispy, onion-filled Foochow biscuits lived up to their cult status—fresh from the charcoal oven and gone before noon. Next was Hee Ong Mee Xian, serving silky handmade vermicelli in a light fish broth—subtle, soulful, and deeply satisfying. At Seng Jee Chan, we dug into hearty Foochow staples like red wine chicken mee sua and braised pork rice in a charming retro kopitiam setting. Then came the rich, dark Lo Mi from Lee Chuo, where the thick gravy-coated noodles were full of comforting depth and flavor. To end on a soft note, we detoured to Lee Ji Pillow Bun in Ayer Tawar—fluffy milk buns with creamy fillings that made for a perfect sweet finale. 📍 1.
