This was the first hotel in Februari i booked in Singapore. Its small, but i love it.

Little late but here the impression of my hotel room in Hong Kong @ Bonham ’99 in  360°.

The skytrain in Bangkok surprised me. The way how it is build, the way how they create a full working metro system above the ground. Sometimes 2 different lines above each other. Here a impression of the skytrain that go across Bangkok.

Yesterday went too the Dead Railway (Birma railway) and visit the World War II Cemetery of the soldiers that died by building this railway. After that we make a ride on the train over the railway that has been created in that period. Then we went too a elephant trekking and last stop was a waterfall. Nice location!

Today went to the Templer’s Park Waterfall. A national park for recreation. Its very nice, lots of monkey’s walking around and you can go into the water. They build some sort of walls so the water will not flow away directly.

Here the collection of this nice area:

Today i went to Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur with a friend. He showed me some nice temples. There was one Chinese temple… Very old, it doesn’t look like the temples we mostly known. Was so nice he showed me this! And we had a lunch in a restaurant, most people will think: Are you gonna eat there? YES i do, and it was delicious what we ordered.

There the images in order: Chinatown market, Lunchtime, Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Grandi Temple, A shop to get spices and the wonderful Sze Yah Temple.

Here a 360° tour of the Ramayana Cave. Be patient. The file is 16Mb in size.

And today we did a Country Side Tour. Actually it was visiting Buta Cave and Royal Selangor Factory. From the last one i didn’t make images. It was so interesting what guide told me i was forgotten to make them… Finally the driver showed me a Chinese Temple. A nice one!

Some nice images in 360° of the Square in front of King’s Palace in Kuala Lumpur

Yesterday had my first tour with a personal driver. He tell me all the stories and bring me to the locations for that day. This guy is awesome! First he told me why all the girls walk like chickens. Because KFC is most favorite food in Malaysia now. And yes, when you look around lot of KFC advertising. But beside that he had also lot of interesting information of the locations. This guy works already 40 years in tourism as driver. I not gonna tell everything of the images.

• King’s Palace
• World War II Monument
• Independence Square (Merdeka Square)
• City Gallery (I LOVE KL)
• Chocolate tasting

Here a wonderful view of the Petronas Towers at night. It had a magic feeling when you stand there and those 2 towers lighted up. I felt small, tiny, in a big world.

Yesterday arrived at my hotel “Le Apple Boutique” in Kuala Lumpur. Very nice hotel! And 5 minutes walk from the “Petronas Twin Towers”, 30 seconds  from “Avenue K Shopping mall”, 3 minutes from “Suria shopping mall”.

Here my room again in 360° image:

This was really a great experience! The guy who did the actual canoeing for us told me that the water around the rocks is 1 meter deep. He showed us also a place where not many people come. He called it “VIP area”. It was very nice!!! less people, lots of great images. The guy called himself “Men” or something like that. Men thank you to show is this beautiful place!

In 1974 the James Bond movie “Man with golden gun” was filmed here. Now a touristic chaos!. But when you look around and find a good spot you can make some nice images and have the feeling you’re alone there. Check for yourself:

Very nice fishing village build on stilts by Indonesian fishermen. Now a touristic attraction. It was nice to see, but not that spectacular.

A wonderful cave with a gold plated buddha is laying and monkey’s walk freely around the area!

You can see some white spots in the image, when you click on it you goto other part of cave. Or click on the red location points on the map!

A 360° image of the mangroves in Phuket. It was a very dry season so we didn’t see it all. But the impression is nice!

360° view of the snorkeling spot near Phi Phi. And learned how to add the map, so you see where this 360° is taken.

Less text lot of images !!! It was great yesterday !!! Went with a boat to the islands, nice crew on board and after the first snorkeling location we had lunch and was  very good! Weather was nice, sea was quiet so had a great time yesterday.
