Thailand & Malaysia Trip

Postby Filthy4x4 » Fri Dec 12, 2014 9:12 pm

So i suppose its only fair I do a bit of a trip report...

Just got back for 3 weeks away in Thailand and Malaysia, was a "working" holiday if you can call it that.

Spent a few days in Thailand going to some 4wd shops and fabrication shops, spent the rest shopping and relaxing with the mrs.

Checked out some modified cars

Went to the Hard Rock Cafe in Melaka

Image

Went to see the Petronas Towers
Image

Was seriously disappointed when I went inside...

Unfortunately did get much footage due to no battery power but have some footage of our night time escape out from the jungle to head to the next bit

Had to do a couple log bridge crossings and a very steep downhill track that resemled "The Canyon" at woodhill
Image

Image

Image

Image

And yes we took the road truck on these tracks as we had planned to go get the trailer after

Setting up the final stages, unfortunately I missed the Twilight Zone as they had left early and i thought we were following them in later, only to find out that we weren't :evil: it was around a 20km walk with a hope of catching up with them. I managed to get footage of 2 out of 3 final stages near the camp though
