Natural beauty of neighbouring countries

Done with exploiting Singapore's eco offers? Travel next to our neighbouring countries - Malaysia and Thailand!

Besides convenience, the best part is that you get to experience entirely different atmospheres. You may anticipate discoveries of eco and nature elements of the natural beauty sites these countries have to offer.

Of all the eco attractions in both countries, we strongly recommend Penang Botanic Garden of Malaysia and Phu Pha Lom Forest Park of Thailand.

Penang Botanic Gardens

Penang Botanic Garden is affectionaly known as the 'Waterfall Garden' by locals, because of the beautiful waterfall located within it. You will be able to experience some native culture as local communities come forth to the garden to carry out a wide array of exercises such as jogging, jungle trekking, aerobic dance, and even to practice Tai Chi. The most recommended time to travel to Penang Botanic Garden would be when the garden hosts its annual International Floral Fest and World Music Festival in January and May respectively. 

Phu Pha Lom Forest Park

Phu Pha Lom Forest Park is an 800-acre park of jungle and mountain ranges. It is most famous for the easy-spotting of wildlife like squirrels, jungle fowl and bats living in the park. The limestone mountain range is also home to a number of endangered species. In addition, trekkers can camp overnight in the park with advance permission.
