Highways in There are no fancy road kerbs, which make the road shoulders higher than the road levels. Well, what’s the purpose of road kerbs anyway ? Of cause they are to keep the soil from spilling over to the road surface. But then, why are the shoulders designed to be higher than the road surface in the first place ? To incur more cost to maintenance and upkeep them ? . .
There is no need for kerbs. Without kerbs, no scupper drains are required. No clogging of scupper drains. Rain water can flow faster and freely off road surface. bla bla bla …… .
There are no fancy median too. The medians are made into ravine, another practical thing to do in non-stop-rain-pouring country ! .
Trees are planted along shoulders and medians. No much flowering shrubs. More functional than mere good looks !

By the way, does anyone notice any toll booth ? I think i didn't see one !
Long live Thai King
Transportation
Safety helmet for motorcyclist is optional ! Cool, yet somehow dangerous.
Tut-tuts are everywhere….. 20baht for a trip to any location within the town. The service are better than Malaysian taxis ! and 200% cheaper too.
Communication 
Well, Thais speaks Thai, of course.
Road signs, business signboards, are mostly in
Yet, Thais speak some English. Aided with some sign language, it’s not impossible to seal the deal. . .
There are some local Thai of Chinese descendants, who speak Teochews ( a dialect similar to Hokkien ) and some Mandarin.

This is n-time of me hiking Broga Hill, so finding my way up is not a problem, - sap sap sui - even in the darkness of the night. Though, it was quite blur-blur for me for the first time too, a GPS wont be of much help when we are in the middle on nowhere. ..
Good news everyone !
.
Someone ( an Outback Adventure Camp ) had taken the liberty of erecting a direction sign at the entrance. With the sign there, at least first-time visitors will be more certain they come to the right place, especially when the staff of the Rabbit Farm opposite the road don’t even know where is Broga Hill ( maybe they are tired of giving directions to those not visiting their Rabbit Farm ).
The signboard writes “ Bukit Broga ( 1.7 km ) ® “ and “ Gunung Tok Wan ( 4.8 km ) ® “ in white on a black background metal board.
About 5 minutes through the oil palm field, another sign indicating “ This way to Broga Hills“ at a junction. This junction is very crucial as the road at the left, which is relatively even, leads to nowhere. ( according to Cat, it’s the long way up. Takes approximately 2 hours journey ) The road at the right, somehow is uneven and rocky is the road to the top.
There are several ravines along the way, which are as deep as it can get. Surely not fun if fall into one of them. The ravines are most probably formed when soil are eroded by running water.
I would recommend all to have a relax stroll up. Why the rush ? The hill won’t go anywhere. Conserve your energy !
Enjoy the flora along the way. 
The view is breathtaking too !
Once reach the edge of the trees ( meaning no more shades ), it’s another breathtaking sights – field of grass ! Then you know you are on the right track......
There are 4 peaks at the top. Going from one peak to another is not as easy as some may think. ( that ‘s why I said : conserve your energy ! ), but it’s ( walking through field of grasses )
surely something unforgettable
The last of the peaks is a rocky one. Bruised, if not careful. Tough at some point, but it’s all worth it when you stand at the highest point – stand in between earth and heaven….
Enjoy the journey !
