Melaka Hotel Puri off Jonker Street

Melaka Hotel Puri located just off Jonker Street is one of the most beautiful one-of-a-kind boutique hotels in the country and one of the best stays while exploring this UNESCO World Heritage City. This carefully restored Peranakan house which was the ancestral home of rubber plantation tycoon Tan Kim Seng was initially built in 1822 at the current location which had various road names. Known as Heeran Street, Holland Street and now Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, this famous road is also known as the Millionaires' Row where Hotel Puri is.

Hotel Puri lobby courtyard

Hotel Puri in Melaka is very unique due to many interesting features where the main feature would be how the hotel building stretches a good 100 meters (328 feet) from front to back. The facade of the building is intricately carved in the Utilitarian style while every little detail in Hotel Puri is looked into. Walking in and heading to the reception will take you back in time as you pass various antique furniture and memorabilia.

Baba Nyonya wood carved window

Staying here for the second time, I always find Hotel Puri full of surprises. This time around, I spent some time looking at the details of the entire boutique hotel. A carved wooden Peranakan window at the lobby area was something you hardly see nowadays.

Hotel Puri lounge area with retro chairs

The lounge area is well decorated with retro furniture from the sixties while the floor and wall tiles were something to really look at as they were original vintage English tiles. A reading area is provided where an old wooden shelf serves as a bookcase. If you need a bite, there is a small counter serving some light snacks and drinks.

Hotel Puri lobby and reception area

Midway to the main reception area, you pass an old style air well with mother-of-pearl Baba style furniture placed against the walls. An old wooden spiral staircase sits in a corner while a piano occupies the other.

Hotel Puri Ancestral Hall

From the main lobby, you walk through some wooden doors into another room called the ancestral hall which is filled with various Peranakan and Baba antiques. An antique wooden cart, Porcelain jars, a Baba prayer table and paintings fill the space here which leads to the hotel rooms and courtyard. After dusk, if you come here and look up the ceiling, you will see a number of swiftlets who make this place their home.

Hotel Puri mini museum

In the next section you find a mini business center with Internet access and also a mini museum on Melaka (Malacca). I found this very interesting as foreign guest can learn a little more about Hotel Puri and its history. Some old photographs of Malacca are also framed with descriptions and an old well with the hotel's history is at one corner.

Hotel Puri indoor pond

Navigating through the numerous doors of Hotel Puri may even get you lost if you are new there. The hotel has three floors with no elevator and only stairs. However, there are rooms on the ground floor nearby an indoor pond which leads to the breakfast area.

Hotel Puri Galeri Cafe

At the courtyard of Hotel Puri, there is the Galeri Cafe which serves lunch and dinner. This beautifully done cafe has about ten marble tables with old styled wooden coffee shop chairs.

Hotel Puri Galeri Cafe Restaurant

Hotel Puri room

The room I booked was small, simple and cosy. Wooden folding windows looked out into the hotels courtyard area. A small television set with a number of channels provid basic entertainment and all rooms are air conditioned with hot showers. Price paid, Rm185 (US$52) a night.

Hotel Puri double room

There is no mini bar but a safe deposit box is provided with standard hotel amenities. Nothing to shout about but they are very basic.

Hotel Puri complimentary drinks

Complimentary coffee and tea is available and old style Chinese cups and saucers are provided. A water kettle is also available.

Hotel Puri Bathroom

While the bathroom and toilet may be small, it serves the purpose. The shower is pretty strong while the squarish sink gives the bathroom a modern touch. Standard toilet amenities are included here and a hair dryer is also provided.

Hotel Puri Courtyard

At the courtyard, one can enjoy sitting and reading amongst the lovely greenery which is well maintained by the hotel staff. Note that after dawn, there may be mosquitoes.

Hotel Puri Breakfast Area

Breakfast is served in another part of the ground floor where you can have it indoor or outdoor buffet style with local and western choices.

Hotel Puri at Heeren Street or Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock

Just outside Hotel Puri, you are on Heeren Street which is behind Jonker Walk or Jonker Street. An easy 5 minute stroll will put you in the middle of Jonker Street while exploring further by foot will take you to other famous Melaka sites like Stadhuys, A'Famosa, Dutch Christ Church, St. Paul's Church and the Peranakan Museum.

Hotel Puri at night

My conclusion to staying at Hotel Puri - I never doubted this place even after my first visit in 2007 and I did not hesitate when it came to booking a room for my recent trip to Melaka. Hotel Puri is my first choice when visiting Melaka as it is absolutely convenient to get around by foot from the hotel. Overall experience is 5 Stars and the boutique hotel caters to single travelers and also families. The rooms may be small but every detail is looked into. If you want to have a Peranakan experience, this is the place.

Slim River White Water Rafting Perak Malaysia Videos

Slim River White Water Rafting Perak Malaysia Videos

Slim River White Water Rafting in Perak Malaysia is one of the challenging rapids to try if you are a water rafting fan. Not many companies provide this venue for white water rafting as the access is a little harder than most of the other rafting circuits. Slim River offers water rafting enthusiast class one to class three rapids and on good days, even class four.

In this part of my story, I am featuring videos I captured on my Slim River White Water Rafting Experience. Videos include rafts getting stuck, going down a class 3-4 waterfall, getting stuck in a rapid whirlpool, people falling off rafts and even an overturn experience, all here at Sungai Slim White Water Rafting.

Slim River White Water Rafting Video - Carrying our rafts to the start point

Getting here was no joke as you should read my Slim River White Water Rafting Part 1 story. Here, after our safety briefing, we had to carry the rafts to the river start point.

Slim River Water Rafting Video - Rafts going through Grade 1 to 3 rapids

The first rapids when we started was pretty intense as an opener to this river. Usually rapids tend to start easy and get harder but not in this case.

Slim River Water Rafting - Raft going down a Grade 1 Rapid


Slim River hite Water Rafting - Someone falls into the river

While jumping and freeing ourselves we move on only to bump into a rock and someone falls out the raft with a loud scream.

Slim River White Water Rafting Video - Raft going down a Grade 2 Rapid

Slim River White Water Rafting Videos - 2 rafts going through some Grade 2-3 rapids

Slim River White Water Rafting Videos - Rafts getting stuck at rocks

Our raft approached another raft which was stuck and then we get stuck too. A third raft approaches us and also gets stuck at the same rapid. The guides need to get out to free the stuck rafts while water gushes in. A lot of jump-jump was used here to free the rafts at many places.

Slim River White Water Rafting Videos - Another raft stuck doing the 'Jump Jump'

On numerous occasions we got pretty much stuck and had to do the jump-jump in order to free the raft. Slim river is known for this as it is best to try rafting during the rainy season. But in any case, it was a great experience for all of us.

Slim River White Water Rafting -Broken Nose Waterfall Rapids

Slim River White Water Rafting Videos - Raft going down Broken Nose Waterfall Rapid Grade 3 and someone falls off

This is the most thrilling part of the Slim River Water Rafting where rafts take turns to go down a Grade or Class 3 waterfall rapid known as 'Broken Nose'. As I headed to a safe point to capture the videos, the raft went down the rapid head first and bumped the huge rock ahead resulting is one rafter falling off there. He flowed with the rapid and was rescued bu the raft captain.

Slim River White Water Rafting Videos - Larger Red Raft goes down Broken Nose safely

At Broken Nose Waterfall Rapid, another larger red raft makes it through without anyone falling off this challenging rapid. Just so you know, right before the plunge down the waterfall, the captain would call for a boom-boom where everyone gets into the raft and holds on tightly for this experience.

Slim River White Water Rafting - One more raft makes it through Broken Nose Rapids....sideways with someone holding on outside

This raft went through the Broken Nose Waterfall Rapid sideways which resulted in someone falling off and holding on tightly to the raft. What an awesome experience for him when I asked him later how it felt.

Slim River White Water Rafting - Raft stuck at Rapid Whirlpool!

This must have been the most terrifying experience for me and the gang as we headed down the rapids seeing another raft stuck ahead. It looked like they were stuck at the rocks but as we got closer, they were stuck in a rapid whirlpool. As we went in to bump them out, we in turn got stuck in this whirlpool of water. With water gushing in constantly, it was a terrifying 5 minutes before the guide jumped out to get a rope and pull us out of that ordeal. The video shows you what we went through.

Finally a video to show what it feels like when a raft overturns

In this video, our raft overturned at one of the rapids and everyone was carried by the strong currents a good 200 meters down river. I had accidentally put on the video towards the end part where I was trying to swim to the banks after a few attempts.

Slim River White Water Rafting Perak Malaysia

Slim River White Water Rafting Perak Malaysia

Slim River White Water Rafting in Perak Malaysia was my second White Water Rafting trip around Perak in just 3 weeks. This time around, we were all in for a dramatic water rafting experience at Sungai Slim Water Rafting where rapids are from class or grade 1 to grade 3 and occasionally grade 4 in this first part of my rafting story.

Laid back lifestyle of Kampung Ulu Slim

Slim River White Water Rafting is located near Slim River town and deep inside Kampung Ulu Slim. Getting here was pretty easy as after heading North on the NKVE Expressway, we turned off at Slim River and met our friends Ivy and Ramlie after the toll booth. From there, we were lead all the way into Kampung Ulu Slim in a convoy which took about 20 minutes from the toll booth.

Slim River White Water Rafting - 4WD transport to start point

Arriving at the Slim River Hot Springs, we parked our cars just outside where Ramlie instructed us to change and bringing only what we needed for the white water rafting. Someone was also stationed at our car park to look after the cars. Once changed and ready, we hopped on to the Four Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicles as the journey to the start point can only be accessed by 4WD.

Driving there was pretty exciting for most of us as we never experienced 4WD action. Of the two units of 4WD vehicles, one was a closed type while the one I sat in was a pickup type 4WD and we were told to hold on tightly during the bumpy journey that took about 30 minutes.

Slim River Water Rafting - Passing some Orang Asli homes

Video of Orang Asli Settlement and arriving at the 4WD obstacle

Video of a 4WD going up a muddy hill

Reaching our first challenge, we stopped and watched the other 4WD make its way up a muddy hill. It looked like a lot of skill was involved here as I would not have managed it if I was driving.

Video of our 4WD going up the muddy hill

Sitting at the back of the 4WD, we could see how hard it was to maneuver through the muddy hill. No way any other vehicle would be able to achieve this.

Slim River Water Rafting - Passing an Ambulance 4WD

On successfully going up the hill, we met up with another 4WD and it was an Ambulance 4WD which served the area inside Kampung (Village) Sungai Slim where mostly local Orang Asli (Indigenous People) live.

Slim River Water Rafting - Transport for raft

Arriving at our starting point we were pleased to know that everything was laid out ready for us. It is common for the raft company, in this case Uhuru Rafts, to prepare everything ahead before the rafters arrive.

Slim River Water Rafting - Proper equipment

Standard water rafting equipment like safety jackets, paddles and helmets were laid out on the ground. Some of the rafting helmets can be adjusted according to your head size. The safety vest is also adjustable to your size.

Pumping air into the raft

In most cases, I see the workers pumping air into the rafts at location. They use brute strength to do this and trust me, it is no fun as I have tried it before. It took me about 30 minutes to just pump air in manually.

Slim River Water Rafting - Uhuru Raft

With everyone geared up proper, the safety briefing starts with Ramlie the chief raft captain. He ensures everyone gathers around as it is crucial to know what to do while rafting. Examples of how to paddle, what to do if you fall over and other safety rafting procedures. No matter how many times you have rafted, the raft guides will still give you the session as each river is different.

Slim River Water Rafting Briefing

The safety briefing for our Slim River water rafting trip goes on for about 20 minutes and we learn that the entire rafting process will take about 4 to 5 hours depending on the waters. From the guides experience, the water levels were pretty good on that day so we were looking at about 4 solid hours of rafting.

Slim River Water Rafting - Making our way to the river

And our journey begins from here. Catch my second posting about the Slim River Water Rafting Experience. Overturns, people falling off rafts, stuck in whirlpools, going down a waterfall and much more!

Coral View Island Resort Perhentian Island

Coral View Island Resort Perhentian Island

Coral View Island Resort

Coral View Island Resort on Perhentian Island is located right at the end of the western main beach of Perhentian Besar Island. Run by a local Malay family, the resort has some pretty interesting features and it is cleverly located in between two beaches with a great view.

Coral View Island Resort water taxi

Coral View Island Resort is also easily accessible from Kuala Terengganu via boat from Kuala Besut Jetty. These fibreglass speedboats take about 45 minutes to get to Perhentian Island (Pulau Perhentian, pronounced Perhen-TEE-AHN) and the prices are usually around RM70 (US$20) for a two way trip. You also need to buy the Marine Park Conservation Charge of RM5. Once you reach the resort, smaller boats will come and pick you to take you the your resort as there is no jetty at most of the resorts in Perhentian Island.

Coral View Island Resort Beach

When I got in to Perhentian Island, I was absolutely amazed with the clarity of the waters here. I had booked my trip through the Coral View Island Resort office in Terengganu town, so my speed boat brought me straight to the resort. It looked pretty nice from the outside as I was coming in to land the beach.

Coral View Island Resort Entrance

On arrival, we went straight to the small reception of the Coral View Island Resort. Inside a young Malay lady had our room keys ready and spoke pleasant English. I was also told that her boss was a local Malay man whose family ran the business. Looking around I could see that a lot of effort was put into the Coral View Island Resort.

Coral View Island Resort Garden Chalets

We got a sea view chalet which was pretty decent. I mean if you are expecting 3 stars, don't bother. I would easily give this place a 2-star rating. The sea view chalet was basic with a lot of local Malay influence to the exterior and interior. Sadly, due to land space, the chalets were pretty close to each other.

Coral View Island Resort Sea View Room

The sea view chalet was decent and clean with basic amenities like attached shower, hot water, air condition and a television. Decorations were minimal but the walls were nicely done. However, there was a slight damp smell inside so we just opened the windows and doors and from past experiences, I usually bring along a can of air freshener.

Coral View Island Resort Restaurant

Coral View Island Resort has a nice indoor restaurant which is tastefully decorated. The restaurant serves some reasonable food which is also ala-carte. Also to add in, this resort caters to a lot of families. So expect children running around and also large groups.

Coral View Island Resort - Outdoor Restaurant

Outside the resort, there are two places for your outdoor dining. Breakfast, lunches, tea and dinners can be taken here which is much more nicer as the tables are located on the beach and are quite naturally shaded by the trees with sea breeze blowing in.

Coral View Island Resort - Outdoor dining

Prices of food at the Coral View Island Resort may be a little more that you expect so if you are on a budget, talk a walk down the beach as there are some cheaper alternatives there. A recommended restaurant to try is at Watercolours Resort and Dive Center just next door to the resort.

Sweet and Sour Grouper Fish cooked Malay style

One one of the nights at Coral View Island Resort, we decided to have some fresh seafood sitting out by the beach tables. I asked the waiter about the fish and he told me it was freshly caught in the evening. So without hesitation, we ordered a large grouper cooked with Malay style sweet and sour sauce, a small plate of mixed vegetables and two plates of white rice. I must say the fish was one of the freshest fish I had ever tasted.

Coral View Island Resort - Beach Volleyball

In the evenings, the locals come out to play beach volleyball and most of the time, they would invite the guests to join in for a game. Apart from this, there are numerous activities available here. From snorkeling, diving to jungle trekking and island hopping around the other islands.

Coral View Island Resort - Taxi service and snorkel rental

If you want to visit Perhentian Kecil (Small Perhentian Island) you can just book a water taxi from the reception or sports center at the Coral View Island Resort. Snorkeling equipment is readily available for rent if you want to explore the corals around the resort. There is a good patch of coral garden just outside of the resort beach. If you choose to do a jungle trek, there is a good chance to see some monitor lizards where some of them grow up to about 5 feet long.

Rocks on beach outside Coral View Resort

There are also snorkeling trips to various spots around the island where you can experience seeing turtles, rays, coral fishes and even sharks while snorkeling or diving. For scuba divers, there is a dive shop here called Pro Divers World. This dive center caters to dive trips and also scuba diving classes in the event you want to take your PADI Open Water Course. More details below.

Perhentian Island Sunset

In the evenings, you can just sit out on the beach and catch the beautiful Perhentian sunset while having your dinner at the outdoor restaurant or simply just lying on the beach.

Coral View Island Resort at night

The resort is pretty well lit at night so walking around would give you the feeling of living in a local Malay Kampung (Village).

Perhentian Island beach at night

Apart from the resort, I took a walk to the other restaurants and cafes along the beach. Some of them are pretty cosy serving beers and coffee. Most of the foreign travellers would be seen catching up here at the outdoor restaurants and cafes.

Perhentian Island beach - Storm approaching

One of the days I was there, the weather was not too good as it looked like it was going to rain cats and dogs. Going out to the beach, the clouds looked like a major storm coming. In the end, it just rained a little and blew over.

Coral View Island Resort walkway to Perhentian Island Resort

If you are adventurous, you can walk past the Coral View Island Resort and find the wooden walkway to the more expensive Perhentian Island Resort. This wooden walkway doubles as a jungle walk as it runs through the mangrove and rocks. The length of this walkway is about 500 meters and very interesting.

My conclusion to the Coral View Island Resort on Perhentian Island - It's alright if you have a family and are not too fussy. If you are a couple looking for a romantic getaway, this place will not suit you. Definitely not for honeymooners! Best for groups and families. There is no beer and pork sold here as it is a Muslim run business. I stayed here for 2 nights but I spent a lot of time moving around Perhentian Besar and Kecil. Would I stay here again? I would.
