Dear Mr Tham

"The Sandakan Death March visits history that has to be remembered. Mr Tham and his guides bring the history to life. An experience never to be forgotten". Many thanks for all your assistance during the trip and my best wishes for the future and for your endeavours in saving the forests.

Dear Mr Tham,

I wish to thank you for the excellent package you put together for our trip to Sabah. The organisation and logistics were first class and allowed us to enjoy the treasures of Sabah in comfort. Your team were always helpful and knowledgeable and were entertaining to walk with. I especially appreciated the depth of passion for your country and quality of information you were happy to share with our group. It is an art to understand when a group requires spoon feeding and when it is best left to its own devices to discover the joys of Sabah and you have mastered that art Mr Tham.

Thank You

My journey in Sabah with TYK Adventure Tours gave me a fresh look at the world. I felt proud that I could honour and remember the young men who died fighting for our country. I felt privileged that I could meet with the local people, learn about their food, language, customs and beliefs. Within this supportive team of Sabah Guides, much fun and adventure was to be enjoyed. Additionally, the expertise of the guides enabled me to enjoy the physical challenges knowing that I was in safe hands. I felt especially looked after with my dietary requirements, which was an added bonus. I hope I can return to Sabah one day. Thank you so much!

Warm Regards,
Julie O’Leary

Dear Mr Tham,

Thank you for a very memorable adventure. We were so well looked after and you and your guides taught us so much as we hiked along. Walking the Sandakan death march trail was an emotional and challenging experience but climbing Mt. Kinabalu at the end was an unfogettable experience! I will recommend your tour group and Sabah to everyone I meet and hope to return myself again soon.

Dear Tham as a teacher of History, I was thrilled to be so thoroughly immersed in the past and present life of Sabah during our Death March tour.

You and your staff made us all feel so welcome and valued and nothing was too much trouble. It was an honour to retrace the steps of the POW's and to learn a little about the conditions under which they lived and died. The knowledge of your staff about the flora and fauna of Sabah is second to none and your attention to every little detail was exceptional. Thank you so much. It is an experience and a holiday I will never forget.

I knew very little about the Death March before I left Australia, I am now humbled by the experience of what our POWs went through.   Having trodden the paths of those before us it is hard to imagine what such young people went through in order to give us a better life.  I thank you and your team for making such a memorable and emotional trek as enjoyable as possible. At times it just seemed so hard but reflecting on our soldiers bought the trek back to the realisation that we were doing it the easy way. Mr Tham I wish you and your Company the very best of success in your endeavours to make Tourism a preferred way of income for the village people and that deforestation may become a thing of the past. Finally, a personal encounter that will live with me forever and for which I thank you and especially the outstanding job of your leaders and porters who were very professional, lots of fun and never too far away when help was needed. A trek well done, thank you.

Wish to thank you and all your team for a tremendous job to help us experience a little of what our POW’s went through, for me a very moving time to learn about WWII, and an honor to be able to follow in the footsteps of all those before us, there determination, endurance, courage and sacrifices. Your team did a tremendous job and where always there to offer there knowledge of the history, culture, expertise of the flora, fauna and the passion to save the jungle, and always there to lend a hand when needed. A memorable trek along the Death March and climb to Mt Kinabalu, one holiday I’ll never forget. Thank you to all of the TYK Adventure staff and support crew I wish you all the best for future tours. I hope someday to return to explore more of Sabah

Thank you for arranging such a memorable trip. I really appreciated finding out about the experiences of the Australian soldiers and the support that they received from the Malay people. I also enjoyed seeing your beautiful country, the challenges of the walk and the climb up Mt Kinabalu. Your company did a fantastic job of meeting all our needs, nothing was ever too much for your staff. They are a very professional team and always smiling and laughing. I will recommend your tour group and Sabah to anyone wanting a great adventure holiday.

Thank you

My thanks and congratulations on the professional, dedicated and caring service which you and your staff provided for our group; not only on the Death March, but during our entire stay in Sabah. Your obvious extensive research, planning, logistical skills and your passion for the preservation of the natural areas of Sabah, enabled us to enjoy the experience to an even greater level. Congratulations also on your well deserved success at the recent Malaysian tourism awards.
