Hi,

We are planning to go to KK this August for 3 days. I would like to get some suggestions on the following :

(1) The best hostel / budget hotel in the City (preferably with a near catholic church)
(2) Places to visit
(3) Food to try
(4) How much should I budget for each day (USD)

THanks !! Your inputs are appreciated !!

Hiya...arriving with a friend to LCCT and needing to know how to get to the centre of KL..also a nice hotel to stay in. We are there to shop! I have heard good things about the Concorde...Just wondering if anyone could offer some advice. Also best shopping malls and info on monorail would be appreciated. Cheers Judi

Can anyone help please, with Visa. We have a return air ticket to KL 6th Feb 09 -26th April, 09. We are staying 1 week in KL and then hoping to catch a train to Bangkok from there onto England by plane we will be buying tickets in KL or Bangkok as they seem to be cheaper. We arrive back in Kl on 23rd April 09, the back to Brisbane on 26th April, 2009. Will we need a visa as we havent any proof we will be leaving Malayasia until 26th April. Hope this makes sense, any help would be appreciated. Thanks Lyn

hi, I am travelling to KL and singapore next month and wish to purchase local prepaid sim card to use whilst there. Can anyone tell me the best to buy and more important,if I buy in KL will it work in singapore too. thanks all

Hi we arrive by AirAsia to KL 6th Feb. stay a few days then onto Bangkok. Can anyone advise me if there is a train between KL & Bangkok and return. Also if the trains are OK. I know we can fly but thought trains may be just a little different and an easy way for us oldies to see some of the country side.
Thanks in advance. Lyn

I am an Indian passport holder. I am planning to fly to KL and apply for VOA, then visit Singapore for 3-4 days and then come back to KL by bus then stay in KL for a couple of days, then fly back to India.

Is it true that if you take a bus for Singapore - KL, you can get a VOA only if the bus comes through the second link and not through JB. Also, will they give me a VOA twice within a week if I have confirmed return tickets and visa for Singapore.

Thanks

I everyone , I am using this as a last resort and hope someone can come to my aide. I really need a contact email address for Airasia and coant find anything my end. I booked a flight through the internet but now need to delay it
Can some kind person please help me out and find an email address I can use? I have looked on their website but all I find is international phone numbers (I am in Australia) and no email addresses. I have rang the airport that Airasia flies from here they cant help me:( Surely someone knows an email address I can cantact them through
Thanks so much

Hi



How is Coral Bay Resort compared to Marina Cove Resort? Which one will you recommend ? Or any other hotels you will recommend instead?



Is there a theme park within Marina Cove Resort? is there some construction going on related to waterpark? Is it very noisy and dirty?



Thank you

Are there any clubs (with DJ) where you can dance your heart out? plays top40, house, rap, etc.... we love to dance....

Hi,

We are travelling to Penang end August (4 days 3 nights) and I'd love some help with booking a hotel. Previously we stayed at E and O but this time want it near the night market and nightlife. I have read many reviews and can see that everyone thinks that the Rasa Sayang is great and advice seems to be the Rasa wing is the choice, but the cheapest I can book that for is around $A315 a night and I feel that is a little too pricey when we are planning to only be there at night. So I was looking at the Parkroyal or Golden Sands. I'd like a sea facing double room and I was wondering what would be the best choice of these 2. We probably won't get time to use the pool, would like a nice bathroom and comfortable bed, which is not noisy. This an amazing site that has really helped us organize ourselves in our travels in the past and I'd like to thank all in advance for your wonderful knowledge we couldn't get elsewhere.

i would like to ask about that whether is it true have a new hotel will be open at Pulau Langkawi??...i heard that this hotel will be open on August...but i m not sure is it true...so anybody there heard about it too??...and what is that hotel's name??

hi all, new here.

I was thinking about Pulau Payar Marine Park (1 day) and Cable car etc (1/2 day),Mangrove trip (1 day)? Is it possible? Also need to squeeze some time for my kid to leisure play on the beach and shopping ......Or any other suggestions?


Anyone have suggestions for good shopping or pasar malams ?

For Pulau Payar..I would like to let my kid (if possible no swimming) walk and stand on the water and see the fish and possibly see shark feeding. Possible?

Thanks all in advance.

Hi everyone. We want to fly from Kl to Hanoi and would like to know is there any other airlines that do this besides Airasia?

I am planning to visit KL and Penang in early August.I do not know how to get about or what to see in Malaysia. are there guides who will do a good job?

Hi there,

is it possible to rent a scooter somewhere near Shah Alam? How much would it be per day / month?

Thanks.

1. I maybe staying with a relative in Mont Kiara in KL. I believe only Odyssey has a bus from there to Sing. Any reviews on their service would be welcome.

2. Are there any buses with toilets on board? My kid is 8 yrs. old and I myself would feel comfortable with this facility. Which other buses would recommend.

3. What happens if there is a big queue at the border and I miss the bus. Does our bus wait or do we take the next bus. In that case, do we have to wait for a bus from the same company and what if that bus is full? Also, I am using the Visa on arrival on arriving at KL. I have a multiple entry visa for Sing. Can I go to Sing. and come back in 3 days and use the Visa on arrival in Malaysia again?

4. Finally, any budget airlines that I can take. I realise the time taken is the same, but I would be a lot more comfortable.

Hi

I just want to know are there any hotels near to Selayang Hospital? Possible walking distance and I had been told Crystal Crown is the nearest???

Thanks

We are planning for a gourmet trip to Penang for our brisk walk club members. To stay true to the purpose of the club, we thought we should organize at least a walk in Penang. :D

Is it ideal to bring the brisk walk club members to visit Botanic Gardens for our morning walk at around 7am?

Where can I find the recommended route for the walk?

Is there a brisk walk club in Penang that we can contact to organize a walk with them?

Many thanks in advance for your contribution. :)

We are planning to take a group of brisk walkers for a gourmet tour to Penang. We felt that BayView Hotel is not ideal as it's probably more suitable for those who wish to be near the nightlife attractions.

During our work visit to Penang last January, we noted that there is a Red Rock Hotel near Lorong Selamat and thought it would be an ideal hotel for our group. However we couldn't find any reviews about this hotel.

I hope we could get some feedback from this forum.

Thanks,
Karan

Me and 4 other girl friends of mine are planning to take a break this May..
Im kind of hoping to not exceed my RM280 budget...
Any advice on where exactly we should go and how do we get the best deal out of perhentian.. and of course good fun!

Could anyone recommend me a hotel in Bukit Bintang or Chinatown, which rate is around $20-$30 US/ day.
thanks!

Please let me know if you have had any firsthand experience with it. Many thanks

could anyone please advise us. We would like to travel to tioman island from 19th November for 3 nights stay. We are concerned about the monsoon, and want to know if there is a high risk of being stuck on the island (as we already have return tickets on 23rd november, 08 to fly back home to australia) and will accommodation (budget) be difficult to get at this time? Also will there be open restuarants? Is there any part of the island that is less effected by the monsoon? As we are traveling with children we have concerns for there safety if we travel during monsoon season should we be concerned? R the beaches still calm during this time? Many thanx keen travellers from australia
