we'll be in kuala lumpur nov. 17 to 19, may christmas sale na kaya sa mga malls?

[marie05]

my boss will be in malaysia this month. any  good hotels na malapit lang sa monorail? sa bukit nanas kasi venue ng training nya. para isang train lang sana sya. masyadong mahal hotel venue eh. TIA

[phurple0515]

^ maraming hotel sa bukit nanas area sis, kahit sa station before non (raja chulan).  mura ata sa Lodge Paradize.  Depende sa budget din niya.

[marie05]

sis @phurple0515, will check that out. sa My hotel KL sentral kasi kami nun nagstay. syempre boss sya i dont want to suggest that kasi baka magreklamo sya sa akin na maliit lang hehe. if maghanap kaya ako within KL Sentral, May masusuggest ka ba sis na average hotel mga around 2k siguro per day. and hassle ba magbyahe to Bukit Nanas on a weekday?

Alam nya kasi that I went to KL 2 years ago kaya ako nautusan na magayos ng travel nya. thanks.

[bunso]

sis @phurple0515, tama ba intindi ko sa mga research ko, late ang sunset sa Malaysia. Ibig sabihin ba tipong 6 pm na maliwanag pa? kasi parang around 7 PM lagi yung sunset eh..  tama ba? hahaha

Thank you! 

[sweetie28]

hi mga sisses, tanong ko lang about hotel accomodation , mahigpit ba sila pag sinabing triple , good for 3 lang talaga? were 4 adults kasi, yung gusto naming nakikita na accomodation sometimes walang pang apat for 3 lang, thank you

[phurple0515]

^^^ sis marie, di naman mahirap from KL sentral to Bukit Nanas kasi KL sentral ang 1st station ng monorail station.  La ako maisip na budget sa KL sentral.

^^ sis bunso, tama ka, late ang sunset dito, minsan 730 palubog pa lang.  Then sa umaga, late din ang sunrise.  6 am madilim pa.

^ sis sweetie, usually hotels are strict sa no. of people.  pwede ka naman mag-inquire muna if me extra bayad pag excess ng tao or free na esp. kung di naman kayo mag-a-add ng extra breakfast or extra bed.

[bunso]

^ sis, thank you, thank you!

[sweetie28]

thank you sis phurple, , ok na nakabooked na kami

another question po pasensiya na lito lang, saan po bumibili ng ticket ng bus sa kranji to woodlands sa mismong bus na ba na cw or may ticketing outlet sa kranji, and from woodlands naman to jb , san din bibili sa bus na din ba mismo magbabayad, and if ever binili namin na ticket is from woodlands to larkin terminal na and di pa agad kami pupunta ng terminal kasi mag iikot pa kami sa jb city square, dahil last trip pa kukunin namin na ticket to KL, ok lang ba yun   na kahit alin na na bus na cw ang sasakyan namin papunta ng larkin teminal basta pakita lang namin yung ticket, na binili namin from woodlands, or if ever naman na gang jb lang yung binili namin ticket from woodlands , saan naman po kami binbili ticket from jb ciq to larkin terminal , sensiya na po dami tanong.
TIA

[ficklemind]

^ sis medyo nalito ako, why travel from kranji to woodlands? these MRT stations are 2 stops away from each other.
You can go to JB either coming from Woodlands or from Kranji.

From Woodlands station:
you take a bus bound to JB (SMRT 950) from Woodlands Bus Interchange (sa ilalim lang ng MRT station) - punta lang kayo sa pila then use your ezlink or pay by cash (SGD) sa bus driver upon boarding. This bus will not go to Larkin, yes dadaan to ng JB Sentral pero but hinde sa Larkin ang ikot niya.  May balak naman kayo mag-ikot sa CIty Square Mall sa JB Sentral dba?. After nyo mag-mall pwede kayo dun sumakay sa JB Sentral bus terminal, alam ko may bus dun going to Larkin, you pay cash (MYR) sa driver.

From Kranji mrt station:
Punta kayo dun sa bus stop and and take SBS bus 170, make sure you're in the right bus stop baka mapunta kayo sa opposite direction, balik city kayo =D
Same din, upon boarding, use your ezlink or pay by cash sa driver. this bus stops /loops/ ends at Larkin Terminal.
another option here is yung mga CW bus, by cash ang alam kong bayad dito, bayad lang kayo sa driver pagsakay nyo. Hinde ako sure if may terminal ot ticketing ang CW bus sa Kranji, parang wala.
If mag City Square pa kayo, dun nga sa JB Sental bus station meron larkin na biyahe or balik kayo sa CIQ para sumakay ulit ng SBS bus 170.

HTH

[sweetie28]

^hi sis maraming salamat sa detailed na info , nalito ka ba sa tanong ko hahha, sorry.
bale kasi ang nabasa ko kasi pag magcocross ng boarder dadaan woodlands di ba dahil doon woodlands ciq, ang sabi sa kranji daw sumakay ng bus tapos dadaan ng woodlands ciq for exit ng sg , then from woodlands punta  naman ang bus ng jb ciq, so bale pwede na magbayad pala sa bus , hehe, salamat , yung bibilhin namin na ticket from kranji -larkin , at pagdating sa jb ciq ok lang ba na sa ibang bus na kami sasakay at hindi doon sa binabaan namin ,basta same number of bus kasi nga  mag iikot pa kami , and same ticket lang yung ipapakita namin  kasi to larkin ang bus ticket namin na binili  tama ba ?

[shams]

Sisses, do you know where or what pocket wifi can i rent once we arrived at KLIA2? Will travel on Nov. 29 na kasi and i need to do some works while in KL.

Thanks sisses!

[shams]

Hi Sisses! Were back from our KL trip! It was fun and tiring ( but worth it, hehe). Thank you sis @phurple0515 for recommending Sky Hotel. The location is good, it was a short walk to and from Imbi Station. Admittedly not a fan on the food in KL but neither the less, our experience great!

Hoping to be back again in KL. Thanks to other sisses who give advise and recommendations on our trip.

[charmed30]

Hi sisses! We are going to KL on Jan 1-4 from Singapore. 4 times na siguro ako nakapag-KL; 3 times sa business trip tapos once pa lang for tour. Yan eh nung single pa ako.
Now pupunta naman ako with my husband and daughter (1.5 yrs old), both first-timers. Ano-ano ba marerecommend niyo na lugar na pwede magdala ng bata? Stroller-friendly ba ang mga train stations?
We will be staying at Furama Bukit Bintang, 8:25 AM arrival at KLIA2.

- anong okay i-take papuntang hotel namin from the airport? Based sa hotel website, 5 mins away daw from Imbi Monorail Station. Train to KL Sentral then cab to hotel? Or pwedeng Train to KL Sentral then transfer ng train going to Imbi station?

- plan ko pumunta ng Batu Caves pero for picture taking lang sa labas. hindi na kami aakyat.

- Punta din sana kami Putajaya and Petronas. Ano mas okay na sky view? sa Petronas or KL Tower?

- ok kayang mag Little India or Chinatown with a toddler tapos may dala kaming stroller.

- anong malls or markets ang pwedeng puntahan for shopping?

- parecommend din please ng iba pang tourist spots sa KL.

TIA sisses!

^ Sis check my below IT. We went last year with my 2yr old kid.
 Day 1
   2pm arrival in KL
   - Rest (Hotel) in Bukit Bintang Area
   Nagikot ikot lang kami sa area since pagod kami sa biyahe of almost 10hrs. From    Middle east kami.
   
Day 2
 City Tour we got from the hotel. Mas convenient kasi since family with my MIL.
After dinner umakyat kami sa KL tower
   
Day 3
   Genting Highlands
   Petronas at night for photo op at nag taxi lang kami
   
Day 4
Rest lang kami sa hotel ng baby ko. My husband and MIL nag last minute shopping sa area. at 4pm we left the hotel kasi night ang flight namin.
   
Mostly taxi kami at napansin ko mahirap may stroller pagtawid tawid unlike sa SG very convenient. Pero i love KL masarap ang food and cheap.

[brandi]

Super layo ba ng johor to KL? Most of our family's activities kasi will be in SG, then legoland malaysia. I feel that the only place that we'd enjoy in KL would be mostly for photo ops lang and we have children with us. Either we land in SG or johor, i can't still decide if we'll still go to KL. any inputs?

Also, is legoland hotel worth staying or can you suggest other family friendly hotels. Ganda ng rooms nila though.

Lastly, ano nga ulit yung maganda bilihian ng chocolates dito? Haha, thanks!

[itsKat!]

hi! question lang for KL. We will be having a 12 hour layover at KL from 9 pm to 9am. Is it advisable to roam around KL? buhay ba ang KL kahit gabi and can we go to Petronas Tower?

If not, madami ba nagagawa sa airport or should i book Tune Hotel KLIA2 para matulugan namin?

Thank you!

[ficklemind]

@brandi, Johor to KL probably 4 to 6 hours, depende sa traffic, mas mabilis if sa gabi ang biyahe.

@itsKat! I can only think of Petronas Towers then kain sa Jalan Alor, after that wala na ako maisip pwede nyo pa gawin after midnight.

[itsKat!]

^thank you ficklemind. I will take note of that. pero yung train yata is may oras lang right? mahal ba cab from petronas to klia2? Thanks

[omneecka]

^hi sis! if 4 kayo might as well mag-cab na lang kayo from Petronas to KLIA2 but please note that in MY, may 50% surcharge ang taxi from 12mn to 6am yata.

may buses naman from KL Sentral to KLIA. check nyo na lang what time last trip, same with MTR from Kl Sentral to KLIA2.

mga 45 mins to 1 hour ang travel time from KL Sentral to KLIA2 if through bus, depends on traffic flow pa.

HTH 😊😊
