Malaysia Guide (Thread 9)

[geekchiq]

Stayed in Malaysia for less than 24 hour for a training pero we were able to squeeze in some city tour. We were able to go to bukit bintang in the evening since it's where we stayed din. We went to Petronas Tower and also Batu Caves. I like their railway system. Very convenient, especially it's connected to the airport na rin. Too bad lang, we didn't get to shop since kulang ang oras.

mga sis, do you know any short-term rental (1month) condo/apt walking distance to KL Sentral? thanks!

[aceofhearts]

Sissies, quick question, we will arrive in KL LCCT at 12:35 am, which mode of transportation should we take and safer too for a family of 5? Bus or taxi?

1. Which bus company is better, Sky or Aero Bus?
2. If taxi, how much would it cost from LCCT to Sky Hotel Buking Bintang?


Will appreciate your replies. Thank you

sorry mga sis for the late reply,  been at the client side kasi for this week kaya ngayon lang nagkaron ng time to be online.  Kahit next 2 weeks, medyo di din ako makakasagot agad, but i'll try to reply ASAP for anyone's queries.

sis sipice, oo yong ticket online ng bus is first come first serve pero no worries madami naman bus don.  then about the go genting package, yes, sa KL sentral me mabibili non.

^sis aceofhearts, if bus kasi kayo, from KL sentral, you will still have to take the cab to your hotel.  note that taxis charge an additional of 50% from 12mn to 6am.  Siguro nasa RM90-100 plus pag from LCCT to Bukit Bintang.

Thanks gters for the help in planning. Still in malaysia now but will be going back to singapore later. Just too bad coz our sched will no longer permit us to go to batu caves. Will just go back to petronas later to view its beauty in the morning. Late n din kasi dumating kahapon kaya medyo madilim na. But its very beautiful at  night especially with all the lights, nakaka amaze. Dami tao sa park kahapon kahit maulan. Dont forget to bring an umbrella or cap. 2 days ng maulan. Kahapon sa melacca umuulan din pagdating namin. Malaysia same as PHilippines din, no? Dami sasakyan and tao, mga basura din around and pulubi. Natatakot pa nga kami to roam around dahil sa nega feedback pero buti naman safe din pala. Lahat ng natatanungan namin ng directions helpful. Even yung taxi driver kasi sasakay sana kami. Tinuruan na lang kami kasi kaya daw lakarin. Bukit bintang is so alive at night. Dami tao and happenings in the street. Too tired na lang kaya we retired early. Melacca too dami tourist. Halos lahat ng guest house full. We stayed at oriental riverside. Nice and clean place. Helpful staff. Clean c.r. kahit shared bathroom. Naappreciate ko [textspeak!] melacca kinabukasan. Since late kc kami dumating, sa jonker walk [textspeak!] kmi nag explore. Its like binondo lang. Tapos dami lang wares and food being sold along that stretch. Nung nagexplore kmi the following morning ko lang naappreciate yung ganda nung ibang structures. Lahat kayang puntahan by walking. Mga landmarks that you should visit of course the dutch square, sultanate palace, ruins of st. Paul, the oldest temple in harmony street....i think cheng hoon ata yun, amazing ang mga carvings. We miss the big ship...i think its a museum, nakita lang namin sa bus nung paalis na kami. I think kaya lahat ng half day ha. If not for the jonker walk pwede n di mag stay overnight

Sis anong sinakyan nyo papuntang melacca? Mga ilang oras inabot?  Buti naman at pwede pala nang half day wala rin kasi kaming balak mag overnight.

[msals2007]

SG&S ata yun. A day before kmi magpunta [textspeak!]nagbook. More than 2 hours kami inabot. Tapos ang tagal pa naming naghintay ng bus papasok ng melacca. Pagbaba nyo ng melaka sentral hanapin mo yung panorama bus no. 17 yun ang papuntang dutch square. Medyo malayo p din. Sisigaw naman ang driver if dutch square saka ang daming bumababa dun so di kayo maliligaw.  Agahan niyo na lang tapos ask nyo last trip palabas just in case di kayo mag oovernight

[sophistique]

Sayang lang that our trip here has been cancelled.  Looking forward pa din to visit it when we go to Singapore this October kahit day trip lang. As per mga na backread ko, okay naman yata na umalis ng SG midnight then alis ng KL ng afternoon?

Also, I'm sorry if it isn't allowed but I want to help sisses din who do not have a place to stay yet. Due to our trip's cancellation, my 3D2N InterContinental Kuala Lumpur GC, which is valid 'till July, may now be used by others.

Thank you. Saan kayo nag pa book nang SG&S sis? Pag nasa dutch square na ba sis walking distance na lang yung mga must see places like sultanate palace & cheng hoon?

@ sophistique ginawa namin dati yan sis umalis kami nang sg nang mga 11 pm tapos the following day umalis kami nang kuala lumpur nang mga 10 pm.

Sa busticketonline.com. for me lahat within walking distance lang. Meron ibang mahabang lakarin pero kaya. Nag try lang kami mag tri shaw for the experience. From sultanate palace papuntang harmony street para sa mga temples, nag trishaw kami kasi magkalayo yung dalawa saka pagod na din kami nun

[sh3ilz]

mga sis where can i buy pampasalubong? And anong ok na buy? Singit ko lang after the conference tomorrow night. I'm staying sa prince hotel..

[phurple0515]

Just an update, it has been raining since Sunday (in the afternoon) kaya naki-clear na ang haze.  This week is better than last week.

Also, those asking kung me sale ngayon, yes, grand prix sale started since saturday and if i'm not mistaken will last until April 6.

^sis, pasalubong? marami ka ng mabibili sa Berjaya Time Square, me shop don that sells cheap Malaysia souvenir items.  Or sa groceries to buy those coffee na made here like Old Town Coffee, etc.  There are chocolates din or cookies sa famous Amos.  Wag ka sa Pavilion, mamili, mahal don, hehe.  Pwede ka dumaan sa Sungai Wang sa Bukit Bintang.

Sis bakit walang kuala lumpur to malacca doon sa busticketonline.com? Saan ba kayong place sumakay?

@phurple0515  Sayang tapos na yong sale sa pagpunta ko. Sis ano pa ba ang magandang bilhin sa malaysia aside sa vincci shoes.

[msals2007]

Galing kaming singapore sis. Singapore to Melacca

[pret_ty68]

^
He he kaya pala di ko mahanap. From kuala Lumpur kasi kami papunta malacca sana may mag suggest kung saan pwede sumakay.

[msals2007]

ayy sorry, akala ko Singapore. Try mo kaya sa Easibook. Nung papunta kami ng Kuala Lumpur naman from Melacca, there's no need to book in advance kasi laging may byahe. On the day and time of our trip lang kami bumili. Baka same din from KL to Melacca.

[sh3ilz]

Sis purple can i walk going to berjaya square?

[pret_ty68]

^^
Thank you sis msals2007 . tiningnan ko yung website nang easibook meron ngang from KL to Melacca sa  putrajaya sentral sasakay tapos ang baba sa melaka sentral.

[msals2007]

Sis sh3ilz, tingin ko lang kaya mong lakarin though medyo malayo. Baka around 20mins? Tama ba sis purple? Kasi kami ng friend ko nalakad namin from klcc to berjaya. Mas magkalayo pa ata sila compared sa hotel mo and berjaya. Check mo din sa google map the distance
