It has earned Sarawak a must - visit spot on the world map due to its many claims to fame including its signature attraction, The Pinnacles — jagged bleach -
white limestone crags with deadly - sharp peaks bunched together over the green jungle canopy.
The
limestone crags of Railay Bay, Thailand; the gleaming
white hillside town of Mojácar, Spain; the torch - lit tour of caves in central Vietnam full of hand - sized spiders and their glinting jewel - like clusters for eyes; the volcano - pierced horizon of central Mexico; the humbling beauty and breadth of national parks in New South Wales, Australia — these all have similar proportions in my memory to Angkor, in that they compare favorably to what I've seen in video games.
