After Subuh prayer we promptly went to Angkor Archaeological Park to witness the breathtaking sunrise at Angkor Wat. Admission pass (Angkor pass) is required to enter the Angkor area, and individual photo was captured at the admission pass counter as the photo will be printed on the admission pass. The pass counters were located at the main entrance on the road to Angkor Wat, and it cost USD20 per day per pax. Entry is free for all Cambodian nationals.

Plz note the validity period of the admission pass. Admission passes issued between 5.00 am and 5.00 pm are valid the same day.

We didn’t manage to witness the sunrise due to cloudy weather or perhaps we were waiting the sunrise at the wrong position hehee.

Weekend Runaway: Army Museum, Port Dickson

Plz note actual date went to Army Museum was on 20 Dec 2014.

We managed to drop by The Army Museum (Muzium Tentera Darat) before went back to KL. We didn’t aware about this museum and knew it via AAC website stated in ‘around PD’ item. The Army Museum is located next to the Malaysian Army Camp, Si Rusa. FYI, Port Dickson was officially declared as army town in 2009.

There were aircrafts welcoming us once we went through the entrance gate (free admission).  We walked ahead and witnessed a memorial of fallen heroes. Our heroes laid down their lives to safeguard our nation and to retain the sovereignty of our beloved country.

Weekend Runaway: Avillion Admiral Cove, Port Dickson

Plz note actual date went to AAC was on 19 Dec 2014.

My colleague stressed out and suddenly she said needed an urgent vacation! We planned somewhere out from KL and the nearest tranquil neighborhood was Port Dickson. It was a rush escaped fortunately we managed to book Avillion Admiral Cove (AAC), a superior rooms with breakfast via agoda.com. It cost us almost RM300 per room.

We left KL around 8.00pm on Friday night and it took around an hour to reach AAC. We use North-South Expressway (NSE) and Seremban-Port Dickson Highway (SPDH). Plz note to differentiate between AAC and Avillion PD cuz those places are nearby. Traveler may opt to ride a KTM train from KL Sentral to Seremban. Then, take a taxi to AAC and plz beware of scammers.
