I
travelled to Fraser’s Hill recently. Fraser's Hill is a highland resort
destination nestled among the mountains of Pahang, located about two hours away
from Kuala Lumpur.
It
is a short weekend get-away. Most of the hotels are fully booked at this time
because of the Deepavali holiday. I have seen a lot of bikers that went up hill
and their plate numbers are Thai. I arrived on a Saturday morning and left on a Sunday afternoon.
There
are only a few places to stay here. Last year, I stayed at Fraser’s Silverpark
Resort which is high on top of the hill but I had bad dreams and nightmares
staying there and there have been reviews of ghosts being seen and felt at that
place so I vowed never to come back to that hotel. This time, I stayed at TM
Resort Fraser’s Hills and when I arrived there, it was a “two-storey house with
lots of rooms”. It is owned by TM – telecommunications company. It looks like a
private kind of place. It has this cozy and home-y kind of feeling. There is a
family that runs this place; they live at a house near the building. There was
a warm welcome upon arrival. But the gate closes at 11pm. There is nothing much
to do for night life anyway so that’s fine.

The Smoke House is a beautiful historical building with a relaxing, homely feel, it is a hotel and it also has an English restaurant and bar with real fireplace to keep warm during those cold evenings.

It was so cold!
A nice walk along these pines and trees with the cold breeze, is simply amazing.
