The southernmost tip of mainland Asia

Few years back, I was lucky to have joined a little adventure to the most southern tip of the Asia mainland. I did not know where they found this place as I was only invited after they confirmed the direction and my task: packed 6 packets of food. I remember it was shinny in the early of the trip. We went in 2 cars and guided by the imaginary GPS system in the drivers' head. This place has an equivalent status like to the highest mountain in the world, Everest; the longest mountain range, Andes; the longest river in the world, Nile. After a 6 seconds grand orchestra music played, "The sounternmost tip of mainland Asia award goes to Tanjung Piai!!! ", followed by a full hall of applauses.

The place that we visited is called Tanjung Piai. It is located at the very end, the tip of penisular Malaysia. It has a big man made stone about 1.5 storey building height with an OK welcome message. Bad thing was we only saw it only our exit.

We walked through a natural not so old jungle and swamp area. It was a habitat for Mat Rempit type of monkeys. Man walked in there pretending to be so kind and foolishly thought the monkeys were so cute to be scared of. It was proven to be wrong. Never ever provide anything better than the road to the monkeys because they will rob you off. We lost some food containers to the monkeys. There was a few tree houses in the area for visitors to rest, we climbed onto one of them, just to find out that a storm was coming.

The latitude is 1degree and 16.00 minutes to the North whilst the longitude is 103degree and 30.46 minutes to the East.

We wanted to explore more, so we walked on the pier and to the end where we can reach the furthest.

We managed to snap some pictures before running away in the big storm. Believe me, it was scary. There was this direction board which pointed the directions and the distance kilometres Mecca or Paris or ... was away from the spot.

There was nothing beautiful to see other than feeling proud to stand at the end of Asia finger tip.

At the age of 23, we still use 15 years old pose for picture.

We took pictures, carved memories, never kill the monkeys and kill a day of weekend.
