Charcoal Factory at Kuala Sepetang

The charcoal factory at Kuala Sepetang is indeed a remarkable hidden gem, at least to me. I'm both surprised and ashamed as a Malaysian for not being aware of this intriguing national heritage that produces charcoal the old fashion way. It is also a picturesque haven for photography enthusiasts. While Kuala Sepetang is predominantly a Chinese fishing village, its economy is driven by related industries such as fish farms, shrimp breeding farms, boat building and also the famous charcoal kilns.

Abstract observations at the beach of Swiss-Garden

It was a couple of days before the big Raya holidays and I hit the road toward Pangkor for a stay at the Swiss-Garden Golf Resort & Spa Damai Laut. This resort is quite a distance away from the more well-known touristy Lumut town. Built on a quiet peninsular on the Northern Straits of Malacca, the Swiss-Garden hotel is ensconced in a little corner with its own private beach.

Home Family Photography Session

A relative has just returned from overseas for the summer holidays.
