Travelogue: Bukit Gambang, Pahang – Day 4


13 September 2016

We woke up early today since we are going to Bukit Gambang, yay! A 2D 1N trip to Bukit Gambang is one of the initial plan that we have. We already booked everything actually. But, since we are changing our plan to Terengganu, we thought that we didn’t have enough time to cover this place. So except for the entrance tickets which we’ve already bought, we canceled our booking for one of the family room there. It was a day before Eid-Adha that we decided to just go having fun at Bukit Gambang. Last minute booking for a room, the price has gone higher. Sigh. But never mind that, as long as we can enjoy ourselves.

After having a breakfast with my friend’s family, we started our journey to Bukit Gambang. The journey took around 2 hours 30 minutes from Dungun. We reached there around 11, and we went straight to the waterpark. After confirming our entrance tickets, we went inside and put our stuffs inside the locker room before starts playing in the water. If I’m not mistaken, we have to reload a card to be used to buy foods/drinks, to rent a pelampung, to rent a locker and so on. All transaction will be done using the card. And before you go out from the waterpark, you can claimed your unused money at the counter.

Hello, Bukit Gambang!

The waterpark is not as big as Sunway Lagoon, and there are not so many places inside the waterpark where you can play sliding and all with the pelampung, but it is still enjoyable. There are not so many people during our time there, so we got to play at each sliding places for a several time. What makes it more memorable was, my parents too, played the sliding together with us. The kids are having fun, so do the parents.

4 hours playing in the waterpark, we started to get tired. So, we wrapped up things at the waterpark, bought some souvenirs at the souvenir’s shop near the entrance and headed to the hotel to check in. Settled with check-in procedure, we went to our room and rest for a while. My skin got burnt a lot. The worst part was, I didn’t used any sunblock beforehand. Gotta take some time for my skin to fully recover from this burn.



Next, we headed to Safari Tour but before that! We went to the nearest restaurant to fill in our hungry tummy and re-energized. After bought the tickets to Safari Tour, we went inside hurriedly since we are already late for the tour. We almost missed the bus which will take us for the animal tour. After half begging the staffs, they allowed us to rode the very last bus for the tour that day. Feeling happy and grateful, we rode the bus to the next station where we will change to a special safety bus to finally take us to the animal tour.

At the station, we need to queue and wait for the bus to come. While waiting, my youngest sister took her chance to try riding a camel. The fee is RM10 for one round. About half an hour later, it’s our turn to ride the bus and finally starts touring these animal places. It took us a little over an hour to complete the tour.

Anyeong, Jong Kook!

It's a tram actually

After finished with safari tour, we come back to the place where we took our first bus. We’ll go watch an awesome performance next, inside the hall. While waiting for the performance to start, we grabbed a quick bite and went to feed the elephant. We met Linda Rafar there, and my mom and youngest sister doesn’t let go the chance to take a picture with her. We then went straight to the hall since the performance was about to start.

The performance was indeed the best. It’s making us laughing all the way, the actors was amazing, and the performance was lit. Everything was just so good. We left the hall with a happy heart. Since it’s already night and we drained ourselves the whole day, we decided to go back to our room and rest. We’ll have another hectic day tomorrow.
