Fish spa at Kg. Luanti Baru– off Ranau

Went to Ranau yesterday (Saturday) to go the fish spa near Sabah Tea. It was located just 10 or 20 meter after Sabah Tea Entrance.. wait.. maybe more.. I am not sure but yes it was just after Sabah Tea Entrance:

See it is just after Sabah tea entrance but not sure how many meter… ok nvm. I heard of this place like since last year and never did try out fish spa as in my mind.. is it really clean? or Safe? After google’ing up a few sites and yes seems to be safe but not for the fish. You need to throw the fish away (or kill it and not eat it), as it cannot be eaten anymore.

Click here for google result on “Is fish spa safe?”

It is like using the same needle on another person after the doctor use it on you. Would you want to continue on using the needle? But as for the fish, yes it is safe to go try it out just for fun. Where I did that and yes it was fun haha plus I could not stop laughing because it was like someone tickling my feet.. Anyway check out the pictures of the area I took

After parking your car, you will see the entrance to the fish spa area and few small stalls selling some local hand made stuff.

Some of the rules you need to know, and yes only 15 minutes spa..

Just after you bought the ticket from the main entrance into Kg. Luanti there (Forgot to mention that) you need to register yourself in this boot. They will announce your ticket number then it is your turn to go down too into the river.

  

No faces.. just to be fair with everyone else. Sorry I forgot to take picture of Griselda, Ben & Irene.. Because I just took picture of the fish lol But we had fun getting sucked by the fish, they have no teeth but it might still hurt a lot after a while haha If you have a small stool and plan to go there.. Bring it because it might hurt after a while standing there.

Here is a video of how it looks like:

None of us was in the video because I only thought of recording after we finish..

 

I took a picture of Griselda hehe

 

We did do Sabah tea after that but just to check out the place, I didn’t really feel like taking any pictures there. But on the way home, we did take some pictures together.. only wish I brought my tripod.

Thanks ben hehe..

Trip to Poring Hot Spring

Well I do hope most of you notice this is a personal blog of mine and yes I will post about trips I go from time to time.

Most of you guys might have been to poring hot spring, maybe this year, last year, 2 years ago & so on. But the last time I went there was like during primary 2 or 1. So that is like 17-18 years ago, yes it has been some time since I went there and never did get a chance to dip into the hot spring.

We left from Kota Kinabalu around 9am where the journey would take around 2 to 3 hour drive to reach the destination. I did took a lot of pictures and just have a look for yourself:

We reached Kundasang area around 10.59am, well had to stop as I had to buy some cigarette for myself and the girls needed to use the toilet of cause us guys too.

Me & Griselda taking a picture at.. erm.. Perkasa hotel? Don’t know if it is still the same

Jacklyn & Griselda Staircase?

So we continue on our journey and yes it did not took long before reaching our destination. Another 1 hour.. lol I had to overtake a lot of cars, lorry, busses, and so on. Where we finally reached & yes I took more photos and some how this stone Poring Manage made some how did not make sense. But we took a picture with it:

So if you go to Poring Hot Spring area, you are not allowed to take anything at all but pictures. Meaning to say you cannot leave after eating anything bought from there unless you shit them all out first. As for the second simple rule, you cannot leave anything but footprints. So this one made the whole paragraph some how looked like a puzzle. You are not allowed to take anything from the hot spring & also you cannot leave anything in the area but your footprint. Where you are not allowed to leave you shit, urine or what ever there?

I think maybe the person who made that rule or paragraph was high on drugs.

I guess it did not really change much, I mean there are additional stuff like a swimming pool, private hot tub, and so on in Poring now. This was the original area that did not change since last time and I remember it looked the same just like the last time I been there.

This signboard is called “Kolam Manu” I don’t know why but it looked more like a rule to me. Not allowed to use soap/shampoo in the bath tup. Does this look like a manu to you? lol

At the end of the trip I still enjoyed it very much, I be uploading most of the pictures to my facebook account so those who wants to check it out. Do not hesitate to find me in facebook... he he he :)
