A visit to Ranau would not be complete without stopping by at Poring Hot Springs, a tropical retreat that caters to everyone. Poring comes from a KadazanDusu...
Each bath tub is only comfortable for 1 person to soak his whole body in it. It becomes crowded for 2 and nearly impossible for 3. There are 2 valves connected to each tub to control the temperatre of the water. The green valves control cold water and the red controls hot water from the natural hot spring. Here comes the question, how long do you have to wait for the bath tub to be filled with warm water? The answer is 2 hours. Yes, you need to wait for at least 2 hours to have a tub filled with warm water and the wait gets longer for warmer water.
The following morning, BabySumoKids went on their first kayaking experience. The backdrop couldn't have been anymore perfect; with the 400 million year old limestone hills and surrounding nature. I was majorly impressed with Hubby's kayaking skills too. Another activity checked off our bucket list ;) For those interested, you can try kayaking for RM5 per person.
One of the most amazing, coolest thing we did during the recent school holidays was getting to see, touch and feed Rain the Giraffe upclose at Lost World of Tambun, Ipoh. Rain is a 2-year old male giraffe born in Zoo Negara on a rainy day (hence the name). Now, Rain lives with other safari animals such as zebras and ostriches at the Giraffe & Friends section of the park.
we like the petting zoo and surrounded natural environment. The hot spring, sam and hubby had an enjoyable time but definitely not include me >_< Hopefully they can improve the enforcement of the dress code rules as well as the cleanliness of the pool water (if it really caused by lack of maintenance)
Free Hotspring at Bentong
Entrance is free, comes with a toilet, and the water is not really hot.
