BUKIT KAYU HITAM: A 10km-long abandoned logging trail at Bukit Kachi here has been dubbed the “festive lane” because it is said to be a favourite route among smugglers whenever a festive season draws near.

It offers direct access between Thailand and Malaysia, although crossing it is no walk in the park: most of it is compacted red earth and rough stones and only wide enough for one vehicle.
