Why I Changed My Route Across Malaysia (And Found a Giant Temple, a Lumber Yard, & Road Crews)

🚴‍♂️ Welcome back to Planet Doug! In this episode, I continue my cycling journey around Malaysia—this time riding from the small town of Kuala Pilah to Tampin. But if you’ve been following my route closely, you’ll notice something strange… I’m heading south instead of north. Why? Visa deadlines, weather, and a broken buffer zone after a tire blowout forced me to rethink my entire plan. Along the way, I make several unexpected stops: 🛕 A massive Nine Emperor Gods temple hidden in the hills – elaborate, quiet in the morning, but clearly built for spectacular night festivals. 🪚 A sprawling lumber yard where I watch massive saws slice through logs like butter – and meet a few friendly (and not-so-friendly) dogs. 🚧 A roadside roadwork crew trimming brush with heavy-duty equipment – which brings back memories of fighting with weed whackers as a kid in Canada. I also reflect on: Why cycling with a camera means no music or podcasts – and how that changes the pace of the journey. The strange mystery of so many permanently closed businesses in Malaysia. How I finally found one of the best budget hotels of the entire trip in Tampin. If you make it all the way to the end, congratulations – you’ve earned a spot in the Planet Doug Crunch Club. Drop a “CC” in the comments so I know you stuck with me to the finish. 📌 Route: Kuala Pilah → Tampin (approx. 40 km) 🌡️ Conditions: Hot, humid, hilly – with a heat warning in effect 🛏️ Stay: Hotel Seri Intan, Tampin – highly recommended for budget cyclists #PlanetDoug #CyclingMalaysia #BikeTouring #Tampin #NineEmperorGods #MalaysiaByBike ************************************************************ Would you like to support me and keep Planet Doug spinning in orbit?
