Tioman / Mersing Trip

[Hiphiphoray]

No tour agency required.

 

Majoirty book direct to the resort's website. And make thier way to the jetty either by self-drive or by malaysian taxi.

 

By-the-way.....when i was in Pulau Tinggi, there was 6 private motor yatch that sail directly from Singapore to anchor off the beach and stay at the resort. With adults & kids onboard. Solid 12 hours sail from Sin-Tinggi.

 

These guys damn adventurous!!!

 

Wah . . Thanks bro HHH.

 

Such a detailed writeup . . . erhh which tour agency is better for Tioman?

URGENT QUESTION, please advise if any bro knows.

 

 

Is there any problem with mobile phone roaming connectivity when calling from Singapore? Been calling and smsing 2 contacts in Tioman but getting "mobile not in use" msgs and no reply.

 

I have called M1 at 1627 to check on coverage but service staff said "I think should be no problem" ... wts!

They could have switched off their mobiles. Or there's no signal there.

 

Try calling the resort they are staying in and look for them, instead.

Dun be alarmed.. mobile coverage on Tioman is weak.

 

When i went there last month at Paya village, my M1/Celcom is very weak & my other Msia Tron line no reception at all.

 

Or maybe your contact just wanna have a rollin good time & switch off their phone.

3G coverage on Tioman is at best sporadic. 2G should be ok unless your friends are out of the main resort areas. If they are at Japamala, I heard there are no mobile coverage at all.

 

For those going there, TM has the best 3G coverage. I used Maxis and U Mobile before, CMI at my usual Berjaya resort.

Bro, are these places nearer to the mainland?

[Kangadrool]

30-45 mins from mainland by ferries/speedboat. But journey from SIN to Tregganu by coach, backside will open flower. Hahaha...

Take motion sickness pills one hour or half hour before the journey.  Best taken before food.  I always do that.
