watchman deserves a Tiger! - He's a Good Guy
Just for your fyi. Bentong is something like Cameron 'cause of its location on top of the hill. Plenty of pubs, seafood stalls and girls. All walking distance. But a dead town after 9pm. This is the place if you wanna 'feng tau'. Been there with my friends who agree that the girls there ain't that great lookin. Danok have more pretty girls and cheap if you know your way around. Anyway, most of the pubs\karoke are so-so except for Butterfly located front of Merlin Hotel. If you are in for a quiet, relax time then Betong is the place. Don't expect much from here especially the massage centers 'cause all girls so-so and service below average. If had to pick, try Hillcity Hotel( can't remember the exact name). Great foot massage. But here, made a wonderful discovery. The 'wan tan mee' here is a must try. Better than Ipoh. A word of advice. Drive all the way to the end of M'sian border and park your car there. Then ask for a taxi that take you in till your hotel 'cause there is a scam where you need to change taxi once across. Downhill from Customs to town will take about 10 mins or so.
Directions. Don't exit to Ipoh but keep to the highway to Penang. Exit when you reach Kuala Kangsar and then keep straight till you reach the border. Hope this helps.
