Guide to the CAMERON HIGHLANDS

While we poor Europeans are travelling to Asia seeking the tropical sun, the Colonialists - no matter which motherland had sent them - were desperately looking for cooler places in higher regions, building settlements and mansions there to take a break from....being wealthy and having servants.

Whether you go to Da Lat in Viet Nam, Thansur Bokor in Cambodia - or precisely the Cameron Highlands: You'll find temperate climate, elegant villas and holiday homes, and excellent infrastructure in lush surroundings.

Having been to many of these places, I must say that the Cameron Highlands are a bit less colonial and a whole lot more sumptuous.
