"It was our maiden trip to Frasers hill and we decided to employ the services of Weng Chun for three days of birding. We were expecting our guide to bring us to the various locations where the birds could appear and maybe explain a bit about the birds in Frasers. What we got instead was an amazingly well planned, customised and professional experience from our guide Weng Chun. Not only was he knowledgeable about the birds, he was relentless and determined to seek out the target birds we had requested to see. He made every effort to ensure that we are able to see the birds and 'shoot' them in good positions. He really went the extra mile and wasn't a time watcher at all. We were birding as early as 630am and even as late as 930pm. You can really feel his enthusiasm and passion as a guide and this energy is really infectious. He is also very mindful of our safety and security and made very good recommendations for food and accommodations. It was really top notch service and experience in our three and a half days of birding with Weng Chun. You will not go wrong choosing him as your guide and please book early as his schedule is really full and always fully booked months ahead. 😁 " - Kelvin
"I am not a birder nor a photographer. I m a mother supporting my son's birding passion. Despite my non-interest in birds, the birding trip with Weng Chun had been an awesome experience ! He was patient with my son's many questions and helped him fulfil his wishlist of birds. This is the start of more birding trips in Malaysia and Weng Chun is definitely our go to guide !!" - Aileen
"108 species, 85 lifers and 12 out of 15 targets ticked off the list. This would not have been possible if not for Weng Chun's amazing knowledge of the birds in Fraser Hill. He brought us to specific spots and tried his best to find target birds. His extensive experience of knowledge and bird calls helped us gain many lifers and also taught me the many different vocalizations of Fraser Hill's avifauna. When I was unable to get a photograph of a Red Bearded Bee Eater because I was distracted by an Orange Breasted Trogon. Weng Chun tried relentlessly at many spots to find the Bee Eater and just before the end of our trip due to his passion and determination we were able to photograph it in the end! His wonderful guidance and passion has sparked my interest even more and expanded my spectrum of birds to Malaysia! If we ever go birding in Malaysia, Weng Chun will be the first choice!" - Kaeden

Testimonial:
We went on a 5 day bird-photography trip in Fraser Hill, Genting and Hulu Langat with Weng Chun. Before the start of the trip, there was good communication about what to expect from the trip including what we need to bring and what types of birds we may encounter in the different regions. On the day of arrival, he was already waiting for us at the airport as our plane touched down – and he always punctual and professional. Our birding experience start even en-route to the hotel, as he made stops to look for birds at the different locales along the way. His knowledge of the local birds is amazing, as he recognises the different bird calls and knows when these birds are in the vicinity. He takes special efforts to ensure we are able to see the birds and even find good positions for us to photograph them.
His enthusiasm is infectious and though we were out from wee hours of the morning to late in the evening, we are ready to go with him again the next day! He also has a good sensing of the weather conditions in the mountains. Even though we encountered rainy spells he was able to make the best use of available light whenever the rain stops. We also enjoyed good food and durians in between looking for birds – all in all a great experience!
Indeed we are very fortunate to have Weng Chun give us a great introduction to joy of bird photography in the highlands of Fraser Hill and Genting as well as the lowland rain forest of Hulu Langat. - Jin Wei
