Hi all!! I am planning a visit to Miri soon and I am wondering whether there are any budget hotels/inns within walking distance to the Boulevard Shopping Complex. Can anyone recommend a few to consider? Thanks in advance for any replies.

According to a websie: In addition to the park lodge (gov), a number of guesthouses are situated along the Melinau River, adjacent to the park. I would like to know how to contact those guesthouses.

Hi everyone,

I've setup a forum at www.miricommunity.net for the Miri online community. Would like to invite anyone who wants to know more about Miri or want to share their experience in Miri to come by and take a look. It's a new forum with lots of interesting new members, and we are hoping that by this extra effort of establishing a Miri Community forum would allow more people to know about the beautiful Miri city. Thanks for reading.

Thank you.

During the 'Confrontation' following Independence, I was one of the young British soldiers who took part in operations on the border.
My recollections of Miri are of a small oil town where the people were very friendly.
We were stationed beside the police barracks close to the sea. In the limited time off, I remember fondly the entertainment at the Miri Recreation Club where we were made very welcome. Does it still exist? It was close to the Police Barracks as I remember.
I will be in Miri from 12 September 2005 before moving on to Kuching on the 15th.
Does anyone have some suggestions as to the kind of things I would be able to do that will give me a flavour of what it was like then? I will be travelling with my wife and am not into 4 1/2 hour trips in the ulu.
What about car hire? I also would hope to visit Lutong and Seria when I am there.
Are there flights to Bario that could be done in a day?

Hi, has anyone got any advice for travelling by boat from Miri to Mulu Caves? We'll be staying at the Royal Mulu Resort.

I know I should go to Kuala Baram, then catch a boat to Marudi, then to Long Terawan. Is Marudi ok to stay overnight in? Are there many chartered longboats at Long Terawan? Is it hard to get one?

I have considered flying both ways, rather than taking the boat one way. Is it worth catching the boat???

Hi,
I need accomodation for 1 night in Miri. Where is somewhere cheap and clean?
Also, what is there to do in Miri for 1 day (it's just a stop over on my way to Mulu). I'm going on my honeymoon and my fiancee (husband to be!) and I are particularly interested in stoneware and handmade pottery - mugs, vases etc. Should we buy that sort of stuff in Miri, or wait until we go to Kuching? Where in Kuching is good for handicrafts (good quality ones, but still quite cheap)??

Thanks so much

Hi,
I would like to visit Mulu Park in August for 2-3 nights. Could anybody recommend accomodation there? The Royal Mulu Resort looks quite nice but is rather expensive.
Should I arrange Air Transport in advance or can I do it when I'm there?

Hi,
Anyone here ever climbed Pinnacles before? I read it from internet resources that the track is kinda hard. Anyone could give me some tips or guides before i venture on my climb? Thank you very much :)

Im planing to visit Miri in June 03. Its a 3D2N free & easy tour. I need to know on those must visits/things to do in Miri & any other relevant info. Maybe meeting up with new freinds frm Miri to be my host will be good as well.
