CAMERON HIGHLANDS RESORT - TRAILS, TALES AND TRADITIONS
Discovered by British surveyor William Cameron on a mapping expedition in 1885, the fame of Cameron Highlands grew during the colonial era. British expatriates would frequent the highlands to relax and escape the lowland tropical heat, and British planters soon realised the potential of its fertile mountain slopes for growing tea, then a prized commodity. Cameron Highlands is still home to many tea plantations, as well as strawberry and vegetable farms, jungle trails, cascading waterfalls and rose gardens. Much of the highlands’ character remains unchanged, exuding an old English charm.

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
On Easter Sunday, March 26, 1967, American entrepreneur Jim Thompson set out from the Moonlight Cottage in Cameron Highlands for a mid-afternoon stroll in the jungle and was never seen again. At that point, the Thai Silk King stepped out of myth into legend as stories and hypotheses on his disappearance remain mysteries. Cameron Highlands Resort presents The Jim Thompson Mystery Trail to its guests as an ode to Jim Thompson whose keen eye for beauty was not only confined to silk and ancient architecture, but also his love of nature and walking off the beaten track.
