Hi guy’s, I also enjoyed KL & Penang a couple of years ago, true the food is definetly more multi-culturel than Bkk as they seem to be more open,(British Colony) before. Good luck with your adventures, kind regards. Ian
Reply[…] And the Award For Most Surprising City Goes to…Kuala Lumpur […]
ReplyThanks James! We haven’t made it to Singapore yet but I definitely think it is cheaper, although compared to Thailand it was more expensive in a lot of ways. Keep an eye out for out next post on a KL Travel Guide where we will talk a little more about costs, accommodations, etc.
ReplyLooks like you had a great time. I really liked KL mainly for the shopping, good metro, food, cleanliness and then I got robbed and the whole city just made me sour….and it was always gloomy there!
ReplyYes soooo gloomy! We didn’t like that either. But you’re whole purse snatching incident definitely made me more aware of mine when I was there. I had a death grip on that thing lol.
ReplyGreat read guys! I love this video and such good info… makes me want to go visit next X-mas! 😉
ReplyCanadian here. Kuala Lumpur / Malaysia are the most phenomenally exciting city / country I’ve ever been to. I also went to Langkawi this past year – what a piece of heaven on earth that it (minus the heat).
My experience was rather the opposite. We went to Thailand, and were thoroughly underwhelmed. But Malaysia was as exotic a destination as it gets.
ReplyWe loved Langkawi too! Keep an eye out for upcoming posts/videos from Langkawi and Penang. Glad you enjoyed Malaysia as much as we did! 🙂
Reply[…] We weren’t really sure what to expect and we weren’t exactly dying to see it, but then it surprised us in so many ways. Its truly a melting pot of people, food and culture. We were fortunate enough to be house sitting […]
ReplyThanks for the unique perspective on our city! The media can paint a pretty grim picture of Malaysia, especially with all the dire news surrounding our country of late. But thanks for highlighting the everyday beautiful aspects of our city to be truly grateful for. A friend recently launched an app that may be of benefit to your readers keen on exploring KL. It called CurrenSeek and helps travellers save up to 30% of their travel expenses by helping compare and locate the best exchange rates around them… Many travellers aren’t aware there’s a disparity in the rates between money changers and banks. Hope it’s useful info to you and your readers, and happy travelling!
ReplyDear Brittany and Charlie,
Great post, thanks for sharing. We’re spending New Year’s Eve in Kuala Lumpur and are super exited. We hope the malls are still decorated when we get there. It looks pretty on your photos ☺
We’ve been to KL before and totally agree with the friendly people. The Malays are very helpful and so friendly. Looking forward to go back.
Cheers & happy travels,
Reni
Hey Reni! That’s awesome to hear. I hope they are still decorated for you too! They are so pretty…especially the Pavillion! I imagine they still will be. Hope you guys have a great time. If they do New Years anything like Christmas Eve then no doubt you will 😉
ReplyBumped into this site while googling about Bangkok. I am from Malaysia and I honestly appreciate your article. Please come again and explore the Taman Negara (400 million years old untouched tropical rainforest) or Perhentian Island (langkawi, phuket or bali are pale comparatively) or fly across the South China Sea to Sabah/Sarawak (Malaysian part of Borneo) for an amazing culture. You know that Malaysia is just not about KL… and we welcome you to our great country.
ReplyThank you so much for the recommendations! We would love to return to Malaysia and visit some more off the beaten path places. We have never experienced such wonderful hospitality before. Thank you for your message 😉
ReplyThis sounds pretty interesting. I didn’t hear much good about KL. People say it’s boring, but I am determined to give it ago once I’m back in Thailand.
ReplyWe actually heard the same thing but we really enjoyed it. I hope you do too if you make it there!
