RFI Chalets at Kuala Selangor

Hi

We%26#39;re planning two or three nights at Kuala Selangor, mostly for bird and wildlife watching.

Have any forum contributors stayed in the chalets as described here ...

If so, what can we expect viz toilet/bathroom facilities? As I read it, each chalet has its own. Is that the case?

We%26#39;re not hugely fussy about luxury accommodation and have stayed in chalets, grass huts, tents etc. in several parts of the tropics, but we like to know what to expect. If it%26#39;s a cold shower open to the sky, that%26#39;s fine as long as it%26#39;s not an unpleasant surprise :)

The park has its own cheap accomodation but it is very basic. The chalets are simple wooden houses, very basic and not flash.

I have not stayed in the chalets itself, just taken a look from the outside but what was told to me is that the chalets have electric lights and ceiling fan but no power points. There is a simple bathroom attached with only cold water (and cold shower). No toiletries, paper or towels are provided.

You are likely to find insects inside despite some screening so a mosquito net is recommended. Also due to the humidity, everything tends to get a bit damp without air conditioning. You may find some small lizards (called ';Cicak';) sharing the accomodation, as they can get in easily.

If you are used to camping and the great outdoors, you should have not too much problems with the chalet.

Thanks Jadramos

I like the sound of the cicaks. They%26#39;ll keep the bugs down.

Any idea how much we%26#39;d have to pay for a mosquito net and a towel or two each? We wouldn%26#39;t bring them with us but will have a car so can easily purchase them in KL or on the drive down.
