Pulau Pangkor

We will be arriving in KL at 10am on Friday 13th July. We are flying in from Kota Kinabalu with Air Asia, so we will be at the LCCT. We would like to go from the airport directly to Pulau Pangkor. I have found the website for Star Shuttle buses that go directly from the airport to Sitiawan but looking at the schedule, there is a bus at 9 am (too early) and the next is not until 12.30. My question is, how long does it take, and how do we get to Puduraya Bus Station from LCCT to get an earlier bus, and if we did this, would we need to book in advance? Also, if we waited for the Star Shuttle bus, would we need to book that one in advance? Thank you in anticipation.

We want to travel from Penang to Pulau Pangkor, spend 4 nights, before travelling to KL to get international flight home. What would be the best way of doing this? There seen to be no flights now. Would it be cheaper to hire a car for the 5 days (seems excessive, to have it parked by the Jetty for 4 of them) or just to get a taxi? Don't want to do public bus thing as we have kids. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hullo Forum Folks! We'll be driving up to Lumut to spend a couple of days at Pangkor Island. Is there safe parking right at the jetty? If not, where should we park and how much would it cost per day? Also, there's a new place called Anjungan Beach Resort and Spa, has anyone been there before? What's it like during the off peak periods (week days)? Thanks in advance!

Hi, We're two couples visiting Pangkor Island in late February staying until early March 2006. We have two small children. We'd like to stay on Teluk Nipah and are willing to pay some R100-150 for an aircon chalet with attached bathroom. We will arrive on a Monday or Tuesday. Do we need to book ahead or can we just expect that there will suitable accommodation for us anyway? Is this considered to be high or low season on the island? Christopher
