Hi,
we're planning a trip to Sarawak or Sabah in August with our
4 years old daughter.
We've travelled in Burma,Thailand,India etc before without a
child.
Anybody got any recommendation from previous trips there and
any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Greetings Steven,
We are just back from Sabah with our 8 year old twins.
Farid's B&B in KK was a very family friendly place to stay
and the kids really enjoyed their time there. The National
Parks are generally worthwhile - our kids enjoyed
snorkelling on Manukan Island off KK, the Canopy Walk at
Poring Hot Springs NP which may be a bit difficult for a 4
Yr old. The Orang Utans at Sepilok were a clear highlight
for us as well. We found our that your ticket entitles you
to go to both the morning and the afternoon feeding which
made it very good value. The video presentation was
fascinating as was the Air-conditioning supplied in the
video room! We also took a very expensive day trip to see
the Proboscus Monkeys and this too was very worthwhile. In
KK, the Sabah Museum has a great collection of different
types of houses and the kids loved being able to get into
them and look around. It was free and we spent a very
interesting morning there and could have easily gone again
but for the time restraints on us.
Hope you enjoy it
Greg
Hi Steven,
A couple of friends took their 4 yrs old daugther to Sabah
and they (and she) loved it. They say eople there are very
kind to kids. They mainly stayed in KK, but they took the
bus to Mount Kinabalu Park (didn't climb though, it's to
hard even to adults) and to Kota Belud Market.
I also had in in Sepilok and agree is a wonderfull place to
take children.
Many thanks to Greg and Ana for their information
Steven
