Malaysia Guide Thread 8

^ sis, if from bukit bintang, you can walk (medyo malayo nga lang but worth it) or you can take the monorail, baba ka ng hang tua then lipat kayo ng star LRT yong papuntang Sentul na platform.  baba kayo ng Masjid Jamek.  Likod na lang siya ng Masjid Jamek.

I assume you meant KL sentral sis, wala pong Kuala sentral dito   From KL sentral, just take the Putra LRT, then baba kayo ng Masjid jamek din. You can see the building next to the Masjid Jamek station (opposite CIMB bank), yon na yong likod ng Merdeka.

Would you gals know how to ship a package from Philippines to Malaysia (KL)?  And approximately how much?

[phurple0515]

^ use LBC sis since there is an LBC here in KL.  It depends sa ipapadala mo or sa size.  Pag nagpapadala ako ng mga grocery items sa pinas, i use their boxes tapos ang bayad per box na, then sea cargo, mahal kasi ang air cargo.  It will then take about 3 weeks.  Depende kasi kung ano ang ipapadala mo and method of shipping.  You can inquire to those shipping company in Pinas like LBC or FedEx.

mga sis, from hello kitty town papuntang Legoland, may mga bus ba? or pwede na kami magtaxi?thanks

We'll be in malaysia in one week pero wala pa kaming IT! Have been backreading and I was wondering, can you recommend beaches near KL? We were supposed to go to a resort kasi with my frined but di siya natuloy so I'm looking for an alternative.

[phurple0515]

^ there is no particular 'worthy' beach near KL since KL is not by a seaside area.  There is Morib resort na malapit sa KLIA.  Within the city me mga water theme parks like sa Sunway Lagoon.  Meron din sa Port Dickinson pero di naman maganda din.  The nearest would be in Penang or Langkawi which are 45 mins flight from KL or at least 4 hrs bus ride pero di rin kasi ganon kaganda ang water unlike Pulau Redang or Pulau Tioman pero those you need to take the boat na ata from Langkawi..

Mga sis share ko lang, kahapon nasa KL kami ng family ko like what sis phurple0515 recommends nag Starmart bus kami cost around 35 sing dollars at sa Zon Hotel kami naka check in super mura, super laki with 2 bedrooms, may living room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms, with pool, and free breakfast for 4,  500 meters away from Petronas Twin tower, actually view namin to from our room, Ang ganda sobra!!! i think php 4500 lang ata binayad ko dito pero sobrang sulit kung ang hanap nyo eh hotel along KLCC lang, walking distance lang lahat ng malls nalibot namin halos lahat kagabi, Mas nasarapan pa si hubby sa foods ng Malaysia kesa sa SG, at mas affordable  Shopping lang kami kagabi tapos kaninang umaga nag check out na kami pero nag rent kami ng taxi papuntang Batu Caves at chocolate Factory 60 RM lang sinisingil nya samin balikan pero ambait ng driver so binigyan ko nalang ng 70 kasi hininto nya pa kami sa Kings Palace para mag picture taking, grabe ang sarap din pala ng chocolate na Beryl's dami namin nabili saka white coffee ng Beryl's, yung nga lang di ako naka bili ng Cadbury hehe

[phurple0515]

[burberi]

Question lang, from Renaissance hotel, malapit lang ba ang suria mall? Kaya bang lakarin?

[iamtsina]

Nagbook ako for KL pero sa January pa, gusto ko mag-Legoland saka Hello Kitty Town!

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ mas malapit sis pag galing sa SG Hehe ganyan book ko nung April pero since malayo Johor sa KL, we stayed nalang sa KL. we're booked for SG end of the year para maka-Johor Bahru din

^^ sis try mo Impiana Hotel. Malapit sa Petronas Towers/ Suria KLCC tapos may walkway directly connected sa hotel na ang ang labas mo sa Pavilion Mall na.

[rushfam]

Hi guys, I've been researching & backreading about KL. Eto ang mga napili kong puntahan:
- Petronas Towers
- Menara KL Tower
- Batu Cave
- Central Market
- Thean Hou Temple (optional)
- Hello Kitty Land (optional since malayo sya sa KL)

ano pa ma suggest nyo?

Since mga 6PM ang arrival namin on day 1 sa KL makakahabol pa bang puntahan ang Petronas Towers or Menara KL Tower or both? Or kung isa lang ang kayang puntahan on day 1 ano mas magandang unang puntahan? Considering na ang hotel location is in Bukit Bintang. Also, if we take Skybus from LCC to KL Sentral at yung hotel is nasa Bukit Bintang, mag monorail na lang ba kami or taxi from KL Sentral going to Bukit Bintang? Kung taxi magkano kaya aabutin?

We have 4 days to explore... but on first day yun nga 6PM na ang arrival. So sa 2nd day & 3rd day whole day yun at wala pa kong itinerary. On the 4th day whole day din sya kaso we need to go back to the airport by 10PM since 1:20AM ang departure namin. So aalis kami ng city by 8PM?

Just want to check, ang skybus is for everyone right? not exclusive for airasia passengers?

And lastly, madali lang ba ang public transpo in KL? Like sa SG?

Thanks!

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ sis if 6pm pa dating mo, mag-allot ka pa ng time to travel going to hotel (samin nun, mga 1 hour din kasi from LCCT to the city) so gagabihin ka na rin. Pagod pa for sure. Sa sunod na day ka na mag-Petronas & Menara Tower

madali lang naman public transpo nila. kami nga halo lakad lang sa buong Bukit Bintang strip and going to Petronas (lapit sa hotel namin e) tapos train going to Batu...

[rushfam]

^ ok thanks. siguro mag dinner na lang kami malapit sa hotel at sana maganda yung location ng hotel na makuha ko para explore din kami konti.

Anyone been to Putrajaya? Maganda ba dun?

Also, practical ba mag HOHO Bus tour ng 1 day?

Ok po ba ang Nova Hotel & Le Apple Botique Hotel?


Thanks!

[u8mypinkcookies]

^ since sa bukit bintang ka naman, mag-ikot ka nalang sa area sis pagdating mo. Dami na makikita dun, baka maka-shopping ka na

[phurple0515]

ang makikita mo lang sa Putrajaya are their government offices, etc. so more sa structural sites ang habol ng nagpupunta dito.  wala masyadong makikita.

[eang]

Sis phurple, ok ba mag ovrnight sa sunway lagoon? Malayo ba cya sa kl?

[eang]

sis phurple another question , where best to stay? piccolo hotel or hotel royal? both are in bukit bintang pero i will be travelling with kids and senior, sana yun mas malapit sa lahat, yung di malayo lalakarin. thanks!
