Malaysia/KL Guide (Thread 10)

[phurple0515]

^ sis, ang near na hotels sa KL sentral is Hilton, La meridian, N.U. hotel, easy hotel.  Mukhang ok naman ang hitsura ng easy hotel at N.U. hotel. (walang period ha, nilagyan ko lang kasi nag-te-textspeak )

[badmonkey]

Wow, thank you, sis phurple0515!

Eto mga naisip ko na option namin ni hubby. Ano ang marerecommend nyo budget wise?

Scenario: We will arrive in KUL past 1am.
 
Option 1: Stay in Tune Hotel pagdating and then the following day, lipat sa Bukit Bintang area. Nalalakad lang daw ito from KLIA2, tama ba?

Option 2: Bus to KL Sentral and then walking distance na hotel in KL Sentral. Kung ok ang rate, dito na kami mag stay. Kung hindi lipat kami Hotel Geo.

Option 3: Diretso na sa afford namin na hotel - Chinatown or Bukit Bintang area. May taxi ba from KL Sentral? Metered ba to? Hindi ba kami maloloko?

[phurple0515]

^ sis, better get Option 1.  It's safer and cheaper for you.

[badmonkey]

^Ok, thank you, sis! Question ulit, baka may idea ka, ang Easy Hotel ba nalalakad mula sa babaan ng Skybus in KL Sentral?

[phurple0515]

di ko lang sure sis pero from the map naman, mukhang nalalakad lang.

Hello everyone! I'm back and as usual manghihingi na naman ng tips sa itinerary namin. Eto yung plan ko based on my research.

25-Sep 2AM> Check in at hotel
25-Sep starting as early as we can> Melaka - Bukit Bintang - Chinatown
26-Sep starting as early as we can> Selangor (must do ni hubby) - Putrajaya (taxi tour) - Petronas Towers - KLCC Mall or maybe Bukit Bintang ulit
27-Sep starting as early as we can> Batu Caves - Genting Highlands
28-Sep 1AM flight to Manila

I want this to be a laid back happy trip with a lots of food exploration. Ayaw ko ipressure si hubby to wake up and kumilos ng mabilis sa umaga.

Any advice, sis?

[phurple0515]

^ sis, melaka is a 2 hr drive from KL ha, yon e kung wala pang traffic.  We went to Melaka and alloted the full day.

[hermione28]

11am kame nakarating ng Melaka. by 3pm sawa na kame, hehe. 
4pm bus namen to KL. 6:30pm kame nakarating ng KL Sentral. Then nag Jalan Alor kame (Bukit Bintang), food trip lang up to 11pm na kasi uminom pa si hubby.

Kaya nyo yan sis badmonkey, agahan nyo nalang ang punta sa Melaka. Tapos agahan nyo din alis, kasi medyo traffic na nung 4pm bus namen, what more kapag mga 6pm na.

Yes, thank you for the feedback.

Ask ko lang sis hermione28, paano kayo naglibot sa Melaka?

^ sis, melaka is a 2 hr drive from KL ha, yon e kung wala pang traffic.  We went to Melaka and alloted the full day.

Thanks for the heads up, sis phurple0515! I-aadjust ko na lang itinerary namin based sa oras ng simula namin.

Na-eexcite ako kase medyo nagkaka-idea na ako sa magiging flow ng lakad namin. Isisingit ko pa pala yung Titiwangsa. Kelan ko kaya pwede isingit yun based sa itinerary namin?

Meron pa bang HoHo sa KUL?

[phurple0515]

^if you still have time from Genting Highlands sis pero baka malabo na rin yon.  Or daan kayo before going to Selangor.

Kami non kasi inarkila namin yong friend namin na taxi driver to go to Melaka.  so nag-ikot kami.  meron naman na mga sidecar don sa tapat ng church na pwede i-arkila.  di ko lang alam magkano.  usually naman from the church maiikot mo na karamihan e.

[hermione28]

badmonkey - sa Church of Melaka yung baba nung bus. From there lakad lakad lang. Jonker Street tapos kung saan saan na kame lumiko liko. 

Nag genting highlands din kame, exciting kasi yung cable car. tapos nag ripley's believe it or not kame. Grabe yung pababa ng cable car, nakakatakot, puro fog!

[badmonkey]

Here I am seeking for advice again.

Main purpose is to go to Titiwangsa, Lake Gardens, and KL Bird Park. Ano ang recommended nyo between the two - HoHo or DIY? I know na malakas kumain ng oras ang HoHo kaya lang naisip ko baka same cost lang pag DIY tapos less hassle pa sa pag commute? 

Hubby will just literally fly to KUL for Selangor. Ako ang bahala sa lahat so I'm really pressured.

[phurple0515]

^ sis, im so sorry, nasa Pinas ako that time na nag-comment ka dito, di na kita nasagot. 

DIY ka na lang sa Titiwangsa, Lake Gardens at KL Bird Park. 

If maulan, wag na lang mag-Genting.  Kasi ang ma-e-enjoy mo lang, indoor lang. Melaka is ok for a day tour.  Sa Putrajaya naman, kaya na yon in half a day or less.  More on architectural designs etc lang don kasi.
 

[bunso]

hi mga sis! eto nanaman ako, LOL Tagal ko na tambay dito, yung plano ko mag solo trip sa KL hanggang ngayon plano parin!

Anyways, parang gusto ko kasi isama yung Langkawi, actually yung SkyCab lang, as in. Kasi mukang wala namang sinabi yung beach nila compare sa mga beaches naten dito. hehe Kaya as in derecho na ko sa SKycab. Tapos, I saw this GeoPark Hotel, dun sya mismo sa area. Kaya lang may mga feedback sa tripadvisor na di daw safe  sa gabi dahil madilim. Parang naliligid kasi ng bundok eh. Hindi naman ako lalabas, after dun sa Skycab as in tulog lang talaga. Tapos the next  morning flight to KL na. Ok lang kaya yung Langkawi for a solo female?

Thank you!!

[phurple0515]

^ correct ka dyan sis, mas maganda pa rin mga beaches natin dyan kahit i-compare mo pa yong mga liblib nila na beaches.
ok naman sa Langkawi pero usually kasi near the happenings kami nag-stay.  but i think since sabi mo nga di ka rin naman maglalalabas, it will be safe for you

maybe you can go to Sunway lagoon sa last day niyo.

[shams]

Thank you sis phurple0515!! Noted sis. Baka for picture lang din kami at di na umakyat kasi mukhang nakakapagod dun. Hahaha. Sis, pareview naman ng itinerary ko? Ok ba yung sequence ng pupuntahan namin? Need ko i-familiar yung trains system para di kami maligaw masyado. Will check yung Sunway Lagoon. Thanks again.

[badmonkey]

THANK YOU so much for all your tips.

We had so much fun in Kuala Lumpur. Ang dami namin napasyalan. DIY lang kami. Na-achieve ang goal ko na relax, within the budget, but super enjoy na trip for me and hubby. We love Melaka! Mega food trip kami ng kung [textspeak!] [textspeak!] dun.

Highly recommended ang Easy Hotel. Walking distance from the train station.

Again, thank you! I will come back for a more detailed review.

[redhead69]

So we're going to Malaysia this Nov1 and we're planning on going to Petronas Tower, may masusuggest ba kayong ibang places na pwede namin puntahan for one whole day? We're going to SG rin kasi the next day Nov 2-5 (by plane, 600 pesos per person* lang from KL-SG nakuha namin)

Ano rin pwedeng ishopping dito aside sa coffee,durian chocolates? Coffee shops or Restaurants na where we can taste the traditional food of Malaysia?

*Para rin kasi sa blog ko. Thank you guys!
