Tioman Island has a lot to offer if you are in adventure type. The island is full of fun outdoor activities. There any many waterfalls, hills to hike, long walk by the beach if you live in Tekek and much more. Tekek is the city of Tioman Island where the ATM machine is, clinic, veterinarian clinic and it is connected by a nice sea breeze jetty to ABC Village (Air Batang) ..
There is no nightlife if you are a person who into that. And im talking about bars and clubs. However the island is Duty Free. Cigarette, Chocolate and Alcohol are cheap here. You can pretty much walk around with beer in your hands in this island.
I love the life here. Chill, beautiful and yet not too crowded like some island. You can really experience nature here in Tioman. You just have to "click" with yourself to enjoy yourself here if you are a solo traveller as there is not so many places to hangout till late night to make friends.
After 12midnight, Tioman is pretty much quiet. Tioman Island is in Malaysia. Which is a muslim country, people dont really party here but they are friendly people. As for me, Im malaysian mixed with american. I know the culture and I know not to walk around with bikini to shops or leave my beers/drinks at restaurant ( this for whoever reads this to think of work and live here). . Majority of shop here doesnt serve alcohol, but some restaurant allow you to bring your own alcohol into their shop, but please respect their place ( i would ask first before i get the drinks out ) to have with dinner what not. Also please dont leave your bottle of wine or beer cans for them to clear it for you after your meal. Depending on the server, but actually for them, touching a beer can for some of them its a sin. So please clean after yourselves and throw them into the recycling bin when we see them. After all it is not their products from the stall, so dont fill up their trash bins with something that wasnt their. They will love you and appreciate you for sure if you do that :)
One thing about Tioman, it is definitely a great and organized island. Can drinks, bottles, plastic recycling bins are everywhere in the island. Thats definitely one of the reason why im so in love with this place. It is a perfect gem for me. I dont mind to live in the city or small place, but this place has a special place in my heart. Tekek, Tioman Island...
I really enjoy staying in this type of secluded place too as I dont mind if there is no night life because i dont need bar/clubs to have great time ... heheh just saying... if i want that.. i would find that in a city not in the island.. well i dont know thats just my preferences.
everyone is not the same.
Tioman is a great place for me!! I love every moment of my breath here in this Island. I live and work here for 3 years and still counting...
Diving here is amazing too. I will write on that one seperately in later date,
Till then,
Love
