- This is how much it costs in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! We were amazed that a capital city could be so reasonably priced!
On this episode we show you what we managed to squeeze in during a day between our flights in and out of Kuala Lumpur.
We show you how much you will expect to pay to visit Petronas Towers, KL Tower, drinks prices in a local KK supermarket and also at Jalan Alor food street.
We also find out that Kuala Lumpur has a rollercoaster and theme park inside the Berjaya Times Square shopping mall too! How crazy is that?
Our transport options like a taxi to the Batu Caves and also to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) also include the prices so you have the answer to the question - How Much?

It is a shame you didn't explore more of the city.
I have been to Batu Caves, been top of KL Tower and Petronas Towers, as well as going to Jalan Alor in Bukit Bitang. Bukit Bitang is very good at night.
I will recommend some places to see and do that I actually did:
KLCC Park (behind the Petronas Towers), see the fountain show at night in KLCC Park, Perdana Botanical Gardens, KL Bird Park, Merdeka Square, KLCC Gallery (in Merdeka Square), Jamek Masjid (close to Merdeka Square), National Monument, Istana Negara (King's Palace), KL National Masjid, Wilayat Masjid, Thien Hou Temple especially at sunset, Little India, Chinatown, Central Market, Eco Forest (next to KL Tower) and KLCC Aquaria.
I would also add a half day trip to the city of Putrajaya which is located half way between KLCC and the airport. In Putrajaya, there are Putra Bridges, Putra Lake, Presidential House, Putra Pink Mosque and Steel Mosque, and open parks.
So next time, check the places that I have listed above.
What a star! Really appreciate the time you've taken to give us those tips. We wish we had that info before we went as it would have made things a lot easier! Sadly our budget for that month was pretty depleted as well which also hindered us so we couldn't enjoy it to the full extent. Definitely next time though!
Taxis are extremely pricey. Grab is a better option for saving money and time, however if you want to save money, use the monorail, but you must know which station to take to get to your desired location.
Definitely Penakul. We intended to only use public transport but we were so short of time we had to go point to point, especially for the Batu caves. KL has an excellent transport system and one we will have time to fully appreciate on a future visit 🙂
I like kampung baru..
One for us to explore next time as it's an area we didn't get to due to time. Thanks for the recommendation!
Wow looks amazing guys defo up there with one of the best places. Thx for the journeys shared,take it easy guys
Thanks Jason. Galle in Sri Lanka on Sunday!
You can take a train(ktm komuter) to batu caves, it is cheap. From kl sentral Station. Unfortunately you did not ask locals. So your ride is 20 + 40 = 60. This will allow 2 banana leaf meals at a fancy Indian restaurant
Hey Keang. We only had a day to film this vlog so we had to go for the most convenient option to save us time. We had heard about the train but we needed to get from A to B as fast as we could. The banana leaf meals certainly sounds interesting!
I was about to say the same thing. The train is so cheap, quick and easy. Clean, fast and air conditioned. The station is right outside the Batu complex
Thanks for this wonderful video n for showing your explorations in KL, Malaysia. That was quite a lot of things that u guys did in a day.
Hey Yasin. Thank you for watching it. We will come back someday!
@@ParksTravelGuide Thanks u guys. Look forward to seeing u guys again in KL. Thanks for visiting Malaysia. 😀
I am planing to visit there on may thank you and beautiful travel love you both!!!
Lucky you! It's an amazing city and very well priced for a capital. Have a great time! John & Becky x
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thank you Aris. It's a beautiful place and one we can't wait to go back to!
the best way to Batu Caves or travelling in KL is by train/LRT/MRT/Comuter. Fast and cheap. There are also free busses.
Ask the local. Hard to go wrong and they know best.
Thanks Rain. We had heard about alternative options but as we were rushing round trying to get everything filmed as quick as we could that's why we opted for a taxi. Luckily traffic was in our favour both ways. We had a ride on the monorail and that's a really cool thing for the city! Thanks for watching 🙂
It was very beautiful❤️❤️👍👍
👍
Malaysia is a beautiful country. Next time we will go hardcore!
The caves looked very impressive and very colourful shame you didn’t get to go up the towers. Looking forward to seeing your Sri Lanka vlog
There will be a next time Tony, but yes we were disappointed too.
❤️👍
Welcome to fascinating Malaysia 🇲🇾😊
Thank you. We really loved it there!
@@ParksTravelGuidePlease visit Malaysia 🇲🇾 again 👍😃
@@decTac we will definitely be back sometime in the future as the people are incredible! KL, Langkawi and Penang are on the list so far 🙂
@@ParksTravelGuide thank you 👍
Wow, what an amazing city. Beautiful area around the caves…..and John, your favourite….just a few hundred steps 😂😂😂 As always the food looks amazing, always has my mouth watering especially the chicken skin ❤ Love beer o’clock 🍺 and at those prices 👍🏽
Ey up you! It really was nice and we felt cheated that we still missed so much out. I beat Becky to the top believe it or not! 😬. The chicken skin was nice but if I'm being honest the one we got on the boat trip was 500% better. These were like poppadoms! Glad you enjoyed it love. Galle in Sri Lanka on Sunday at 10am!
To get the best value from any holiday destinations, do your homework and be well prepared, and you'll be fine. In KL, there's something for every budget of travelling, and all you need to do is ask the locals or your Grab driver for some tips or recommendations. Enjoy your stay in Malaysia!
It was definitely less expensive than we originally imagined, especially for a capital city. We definitely need a bigger baggage allowance for the next trip! Thanks for watching Nick 🙂
10:04 Yes one needs at least four days to do justice to Kuala Lumpur, especially to its diverse culinary offerings...
Absolutely. We tried 2 places to get Nasi Lemak but both had sold out 😟. Next time we are going full throttle with Malay cuisine! There will be no stopping us! A beautiful city with incredible people. Hopefully we can return soon 🙂
👍👍
Thankyou again guys wow what an experience going into the caves looked great And a fantastic place to visit am sure, Loving the big shopping centres And yeah looks like a Good place to go,plenty of food variety , another great vlog ❤️😘 xxx
It's definitely unfinished business for next time Joanne!
Is that a Yorkshire accent I hear? It's good to see fellow Yorkshire people venturing out far East, planning on doing the same thing next year. This has given me plenty of tips and advice. Thank you 😊, Bradfordian
Haha it is indeed, we live in Rawdon by the airport. South East Asia is a particular favourite of ours to spend time in. KL was amazing but unfortunately our stay was brief as we were starting to make our way back west with us being at the halfway point of our 6 month trip. Glad you got some tips and hopefully you'll find more inspiration from previous vlogs. Good to have you onboard. Big up B town!
highly go to connaught night market 。
We will check it out next time!
5:07 It's KL Tower. You need to walk further until you see KL Tower signage. During working days, usually there's a shuttle white van (TM logo). Or you can continue to walk. Total distance ±1.5km from monorail station.
You need to book days earlier for the twin towers tickets through their website or just visit their tickets counter.
The gov took ministry of health advice not to recommend cigarettes and booze. So both are highly taxes. However visitors can enjoy cheaper beer at certain areas such as Langkawi duty free island.
Interstate buses & trains (ktmb) schedule & tickets are available online.
Intercity buses & trains (lrt&MRT,comutter) schedule also available online. + Feeder buses.
City buses (Rapid) schedule & realtime tracking are available online (Go KL foc)
Smart Selangor buses also foc.
TnG card acceptable widely for public transport.
Commuter from bt caves to KL sentral
Anyway thanks for ur visit.
We followed some signs and then they stopped but we didn't know about the shuttle. We asked a street cleaner how to get there and he just said 'around there' and pointed back to where we came from. We'll crack it for next time!
@@imjuzsayin..5017 we had heard about the taxes. Don't get us wrong that compared to prices in the UK these are incredibly reasonable. Langkawi is on the list for a future visit!
@@imjuzsayin..5017 you have been a huge help. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us all the info. This is exactly what we found about Malaysia- the people are fantastic!
You guys, for your next trip to Malaysia, do use the police transport to get around KL city.....our public transportation is fantastic...there is a rail service from KLIA to the city centre...
It seems fantastic from what we experienced so we will be next time 🙂
Please come again 😂👍
Definitely! Thanks for watching 🙂
Yeah, can save a lot if we know the way.. hehe
Definitely Bob!
@@ParksTravelGuide yeah,🤗🤗
👍
Great video. Thks! Curious where to get affordable alcohol there, is it an option?
It's a fair price at the Jalan Alor market. I don't think we found it any cheaper elsewhere

We definitely need to tick some of those off the next time we come to Malaysia! Beautiful country.
For certains things there's always 2 prices one for non malaysians and one for malaysians
Same as pretty much anywhere Raymond. We don't mind paying a little bit more for that purpose and are pretty hardened to the fact that as long as they don't have our pants down and give a fair price then that's cool. We're currently in Sri Lanka where prices for a tourist are often quadruple the local price or more, especially for transport so we've been doing a lot of walking! 😆
@@ParksTravelGuide doesn't happen in Singapore where I am from
@@raymondloke I think Singapore, England and parts of Europe are a few of the exceptions. We'd end up in court if we did that to a tourist at home. A lot of SE Asia works the same with the local and tourist prices.
You guys should have taken the LRT..which is newby..Batu Caves...which is very much cheaper...
Hi Steven. We only had a day to film so we needed the speed to get around, but we did consider it for sure!
Terima kasih🤎havefun
Thank you for watching 🙂
More steps john. Great video
Made it to the top before Becky! 😆
Kampung baru have nasi lemak wanjo
4.5 MYR - 1 USD u can hv royal lifestyle here..😆.. btw welcome to Malaysia.
We got 4 to the £ but as we are travelling for 6 months our budget is very low. If it was just a holiday then we would be able to spend much more. For a capital city the prices are incredible compared to the West! Thanks for watching 🙂
