Merong causeway link na bus. Nung nagpunta kami last Feb, from JPO eh dumaan Ng Legoland then Hello Kitty then sa CIQ2 (immigration na walang pila) then derecho Ng Jurong. Check Mo lang schedule. Nahanap lang Kasi namin sya s terminal Ng Premium outlet.

Hi! My boyfriend and I will be taking a 4D SG and 1D KL trip this May. Planning on leaving SG at noon so we can catch Petronas at night (pero picture picture lang. haha. or will it be better to buy tickets?) then probably roam around nalang ng half day the next day.

flight back to MNL is at 630PM. Ano bang pwedeng gawin sa KL ng isang gabi at ng isang araw? and what time should I leave for KLIA since 630 nga yung flight namin?

Thanks!

Ok Yung plan nyo. Sa Gabi, pwede kayo magpicture sa petronas then food trip Jalan Alor..

The following day, pwede kayo magbatu caves sa morning then walking tour sa may merdeka (nothing much though) at picture Ng iloveKL sa may art gallery.. then souvenir shopping s China Town or buy Chocolates sa "My Din" (malapit sa China Town). If Yung hotel nyo is malapit Lang s petronas eh pwedeng bumalik for picture na maliwanag.

Basta nakasakay kayo Ng bus sa KL sentral Ng around 3pm ay abot kayo since 2 hours before flight pa naman nag-oopen Yung counter

[obsessivecompulsivegeek]

Yehey! So much help sis! Pero to do all those ng umaga before the flight, mga anong oras kaya kami kailangan mag simula? 😂

Sorry, hindi pa kasi ako masyado nakakaresearch about KL. Pero lahat yan, accessible by bus? Or better mag grab or something?

Sharing our recent trip. Thank you sa lahat ng inputs from here!

4 adults and 2 kids. Prices in pesos.
Airfare airasia going to malaysia 25k, going back to manila 22k thru cebu pac.
Princeton Hotel 2k
Legoland hotel 8k since it's peak season already breakfast included.
MBS 21k

Legoland tickets 5k
USS tickets 8k
Both from klook!

Pocket money 20k. Food and transpo included. We rode taxis for convenience since have kids with us. May sukli pa.

For our taxis, I used Grab. It's so hard to communicate with uber because you can't message them directly in the app.

Day 0 -arrival at Johor Bahru, we met relatives there that's why we went there first. Stayed at Princeton Hotel.

Day 1 -breakfast at mcdo. Went to Legoland Hotel to check in around 10am but check in time is 4pm. We were able to check in by 1pm. We had lunch at kfc. Good thing I did not buy tickets beforehand because not everyone's interested. We really enjoyed the legoland theme park esp the kids because there were only few people who went there with us as in we did not really wait in queue for every ride that we went to. The hotel staff and services were very impressive as well as the hotel's interior itself even if I am not a lego lover. The kingdom room that we got was so superb.

Day2 -breakfast buffet in legoland hotel. They don't have a list so you can really take turns. We booked a service from legoland hotel directly to marina bay sands hotel because we stayed there. It is a bit costly unlike when you ride a bus but I can assure you that it's worth it esp when you have a hectic schedule. Hassle free and in just 40 mins we already arrived in MBS. the architecture and interior are indeed amazing. You really get what you pay for. Theroom got a nice city view. No breakfast included. We rest for a while, visit the deck and infinity pool. Access is limited to guests but if you'll check in with a big group you can just simply take turns. In the afternoon we went to esplanade, merlion, ate at the food strip there. We stayed at the merlion park until night time to see the city lights. The place is really good in the eyes at night. Everything's just instagram worthy.

Day 3 -we went to vivo city for brunch the sentosa afterwards for USS. we initially planned to go altogether and just like legoland, everybody's not interested same with SEA haha! I really love klook!  I can book tickets in an instant and in 2 mins i already have the vouchers! I will not definitely delete this app. USS was just okay for me. I've been to tokyo disney sea and I felt that I like the latter more though I am really looking forward to Universals studios in Japan because Harry Potter. i hope it won't disappoint.

Day 4 -enroute to manila.


I really loved the legoland and its hotel. It's worth coming back unlike singapore. It feels as if im in makati and luneta haha sorry! If and ever I will be coming back to singapore, it will be just for a staycation in MBS. It did not fail to calm me with its view. I am really amazed with its architecural design and the views surrounding it. You'll really feel that you're on a vacation. I am a beach person and never in my life, I appreciated a staycation to relax and I'd rather stay at home, We are not interested in little india, museums, and chinatown that's why it's not on our itinerary even the zoo - because we don't want to see caged animals, they look pitiful. For the food, I'm still for Japan when it comes to price and quality, and of course the taste!

Thanks to this thread. Now signing off! 

[yikee]

 thank you so much sis still hoping! Super big help. Hanapin ko paano commute sa mga sinabi mo na spots like chinatown, merdeka saka yung iba pa.
Ah madami naman pala sa groceries ng beryls, hehe! Kahit hindi na sa factory, para hindi masyado time consuming.
Madami na din sa groceries nung milk tea na yun sis?

[still_hoping]

^^thanks sis still_hoping!
pano makapunta sa immigration na walang pila? 
lagi ba talagang mahaba ang pila sa immigration?mga ilang oras kaya ang travel time from sg via bus or taxi including yung pagpila?pasensya na im trying to compare para ready hehe..

Yung causeway link na bus na CIQ2, dun talaga dumadaan as immi na maliit.. from JPO to Jurong siguro mga 1 - 1.5 hours lang. Natatagalan Lang kapag Wala pa Yung bus or kapag naiwan ka Ng bus. Just make sure na itago Mo Yung ticket Kasi may bus transfer talaga after Ng Malaysia immi. Same din naman kapag dumaan doon sa main immigration nila, may bus transfer at waiting time din..

Di ko pa natry private car or taxi Kaya Di ako sure sa difference bukod sa Hindi Mo na need bumaba Ng sasakyan so convenient talaga.

[still_hoping]

Yehey! So much help sis! Pero to do all those ng umaga before the flight, mga anong oras kaya kami kailangan mag simula? 😂

Sorry, hindi pa kasi ako masyado nakakaresearch about KL. Pero lahat yan, accessible by bus? Or better mag grab or something?

Accessible naman sya sa bus or train.. pero depende Kung saan kayo magstay.

Assuming na s may bukit bintang kayo magstay.. kahit after breakfast pwede na kayo umalis para Hindi mainit..

Monorail to KL sentral then KTM to Batu caves (travel time plus stay mga an hour or 2, depende Kung aakyat kayo)

Batu caves back to KL sentral transfer train (kelana jaya line) alight after 2 stations which is masjid jamek. Walk towards the right side of the main road to see merdeka square (again, nothing much unless mahilig kayo sa heritage, tamang picture Lang though my friends appreciate it). After Merdeka is the KL gallery with the iloveKL thingy.. if you will look across the road, old bldgs makikita nyo pero nice sa pictures.. cross the road and walk straight may mga dadaanan pang for photo ops then makikita nyo Yung central market and katsuri walk sa right side.. try to research "free dataran merdeka heritage walking tour" for more info. Malapit Lang din Dito Yung China Town at my din na store

Sobrang mura bilihin sa KL Kaya kahit Di Kasing modern Ng SG ay maaapreciate pa Rin.

[obsessivecompulsivegeek]

^Yehey! Super great help sis! And thanks din sa detailed instructions,

How about pag papuntang airport na sis, mas okay ba mag bus or mag train? Nakakatakot kasi malate!:o

thank you so much sis still hoping! Super big help. Hanapin ko paano commute sa mga sinabi mo na spots like chinatown, merdeka saka yung iba pa.
Ah madami naman pala sa groceries ng beryls, hehe! Kahit hindi na sa factory, para hindi masyado time consuming.

Madaming milk tea sa groceries..

Yung schedule nyo eh madami Ng mapupuntahan kung gugustuhin nyo though lagari Kasi 2 days Lang. Dahil maaga pa arrival nyo, and malamang sa Di pa pwede magcheckin sa hotel Kaya ito Suggested IT ko

1st day
4:30 arrival.. assuming you'll be able to go out Ng 5 or 5:30, an hour bus ride to KL sentral
7:00 breakfast sa station, merong 24 hours na McDonald's
7:30 - 9:00 - KTM train to and fro Batu Caves (still depends Kung aakyat kayo sa cave)
9:00 -9:30 - monorail to imbi station para umabot sa 10am shuttle Ng Colmar (paki research na Lang Kung paano kumuha Ng ticket Lalo if 10am na sarado pa mall).  If pwede magcheck-in, ng maaga sa hotel go for the 1pm shuttle then may shuttle daw pabalik Ng 3 and 5pm
**What happens around this time will depend what time nyo gustong umalis at bumalik to/from colmar
6pm - tambay sa petronas for daylight and night picture Ng twin towers (sunset is around 7:15 pa) and pwede na ring isingit Ang dinner
**Kung gusto nyo sagarin Yung Araw eh pwede Rin magchina town night market for souvenirs or Jalan Alor for food trip

2nd day
Pwede kayong magearly morning merdeka heritage walking tour (check previous my post) like start Ng 8 para tapos na Ng 10am at makapunta na kayo Ng mydin for chocolates and tea then go back to hotel for check out.. pwede Rin naman sa ibang grocery stores kayo maghanap Kung walang stock sa "my din" Basta wag Lang sa Jaya grocer Lalo na sa cold storage Kasi mahal.

After magcheckout, it depends na if like nyo magshopping dahil madaming malls sa KL or punta Ng Genting for a half day tour since may bus naman from Genting to KLIA (an hour to an hour and a half away from KL Ang genting). Basta make sure na nakaalis na kayo Ng 5 or 6 pm if 9:30 flight Kasi 2 hours travel time from Genting to KLIA
Another option is titiwangsa park (ala john Loyd at Bea) and iba pang pinupuntahan like palace or yung national mosque nila na pwede pumasok at magsusuot ka Rin Ng costume nila.

Sana makatulong... Yung train rides nga pala sa 1st day, puro to and fro KL sentral Lang Kasi transfers Lang Ng line

[still_hoping]

^obsessive - both are ok, price at travel time Lang Ang difference Kasi 55rm vs 12 RM.. mga 7 or 8 Cadbury chocos na mabibili Mo s My Din..

If maulan at feeling nyo alanganin talaga pede naman magtrain Kasi less than 30mins Lang NASA KLIA ka na

[obsessivecompulsivegeek]

^ thanks sis still_hoping! Super big help po kayo!

[kittycat228]

may mydin ba near bukit bintang?

[still_hoping]

Mga sis, if your hotel is from Bukit Bintang, may free bus na pwede nyong sakyan from the bus stop near Giordano store malapit sa Kanto. Dadalhin kayo nun sa may China Town at mydin (bus stop is between mydin at China Town).. Sa Pasar Seni Yung terminal (end) nya. If you walk straight from terminal, makikita nyo central market/kasturi walk. Sa dulo Ng kasturi walk, turn left in Pasar besar.. sa right side nung street may clock or fountain na dadaanan for photo opp.. towards the end (cross the street) is Yung KL art gallery and katabi Yung merdeka ..

[kittycat228]

anong location ng giordano store sis? we'll be staying near berjaya times square

[still_hoping]

If I'm not mistaken sa mismong pagtawid Ng Bukit bintang monorail station. kanto Ng Bintang walk sinage, katabi Ng McDonald's. Malapit Lang din to sa berjaya.. though may monorail din sa Berjaya, walking distance pa sya Rin sya.  Makikita nyo agad Yun dahil sa McDonald's.
