Quick Look: Pangkor Laut, Malaysia

  • May 17, 2016
  • Brad A. Johnson

There is no airport on the island of Pangkor Laut. There is merely a helipad and a dock. Getting there is half the fun. Here’s a quick look at this luxury private island resort off the coast of Malaysia. The resort’s helicopter met me at the Kuala Lumpur airport. I returned to the mainland by the resort’s private yacht.

Locally roasted coffee has jumped from trend to full-blown revolution. I spent the past few weeks tasting 39 different locally roasted coffees and picked my 10 favorite roasters. I no longer require sleep. ⁠⁠ 178 18
