Clearwater Sanctuary and Anna and the King

If you can remember, Clearwater Sanctuary was the location used for the movie Anna and the King starring Chow Yuen Fatt! We could see the roof of the palace from afar and was really curious. No matter how we turn around the golf course, we could not reach the palace. We enquire at the check-in counter and found that only the golf buggy can take us in. So in we go and we found that the path leading inside was pretty over-grown as it has been un-used for many years. So sad...can see that the buildings were not maintained (sigh!) and it has been about 10 years...built in 1999. Most of the material had dropped off, rotting away........

Most of the material were made from styrofoam - I guess it will have been cheaper..
...the place was overgrown with lalang...

But you can just imagine how grand it used to look. Sigh...Further this place would have been a great place for taking photos for wedding....ps, the small little golf buggy was the one which took us into the location.
