Desaru is a nice
getaway for those peoples who like to
escape from city life for a
2 days 1 night short vacation. There are few resort along the beach, and we selected the
Pulai Desaru Resort (N1 33.636 E104 15.202). This was our
second visit to the resort, we didn't stay in the resort during our
first visit.
Most of the guests of the Resort were foreigner, and some of group came by the express bus.
The
Lobby of the resort is well ventilated because of the high roof design. I took some photos of the lobby...

I walked around the resort after the check-in. Saw some painting work progress on the next blocks...well, seems like business is getting better! Does this gonna with the new highway from
Tanjung Langsat to Desaru?! I believe somehow is related. It's a good sign for
Desaru.
This is the way towards the swimming pool and the beach from the resort.

It was cloudy that day and the photos I took were not as attractive as the real scene.

reservation@thepulai.com.my The location map of Pulai Desaru Resort
To my big surprise during my recent visit to Koh Tao one of these specially trained monkeys was kicking down some coconuts. This picture shows the monkey sitting high in the crown of the coconut tree, possibly also 8 to 10 meters above the ground.
The monkey has a rope connected to a collar around his neck from which it gets directions from it's boss or trainer. On the ground, the monkeys boss gives directions and comments on which coconuts to throw to the ground. 
It took me a while and various shots were wasted before I could get a falling coconut in a picture. The monkey twists and turns the chosen coconut around and than just lets it fall. Simple and effective.
The monkey on it's way down, he actually got entangled a moment after I took this picture and got to the ground by working the rope in the vegetation next to the coconut tree.
Here's our small hero, after a few minutes of work in the tree. He wasn't too impressed with all the folks taking pictures of him and actually threw a stick to some people. He was also hissing and making some noises whilst waiting for his boss, who took a motorbike with a side car mounted to it which was park a 100 meters away or so, to collect the coconuts and sell them on.
