I live in KL. You will need to have some kind of transport from Sepang into KL. It’s a long way.

For those of us who don't live in KL, this is a place we visit every year and from what I see the development in KL never stops. You will find big changes starting in 2023 when many big projects have started to be completed.I will look forward to TRX in 2023 and MRT putrajaya2 line. I ❤️ my country

KL is a great airport. No doubt. I've intentionally booked a long connection time, left my bag at the airport storage and grabbed the train downtown. I haven't really explored enough of KL and Malaysia in general, but I'll address that this Canadian winter!

Malaysia never ceases to amaze me! It is so much more value for money than any other place I've ever been to! 3 Ringgits to $1 CAD, and it's STILL cheaper local in currency. Plus, the biggest reason, the people are just great.

I did three visa runs to KL and always stayed at some 5/10 hotel straight across the road from the Beach bar & didn't really do much night time exploring beyond that as it was such a great bar socially wise. There wasn't much else happening back in 2015 that I was aware of when I did my last visa run to KL. Looks like it's taken an upturn since then. Cheers.

Hi guys, just got your followup email and responded. There's several agencies for Cormar on Agoda and mine was 'Vale Pine' (best priced of the various Cormar agencies). But yep, the price looks up in late Oct (not sure if high season shoulder or what?) Anyways, I see 241 MYR ($53 USD) for your dates. I also sent a couple alt choices around $25 USD Ceylonz Suites and 'D'Majestic Suites. Can search here: www.agoda.com/search?city=14524&cid=1898974 Hope that helps somewhat and have a great trip!

I subscribed and appreciate your videos -- thx. Question: If I intended to live as a tourist in KL and one other country for 90 days each, returning to KL on day 181 (or so), do you think there would be any visa problems if I did this year after year as a US citizen? 180 days in each country every year, basically living in KL for half the year every year as a tourist? Is it only the quick weekend trip to say Singapore and then trying to get another 90 days tourist visa in KL which the authorities frown upon? If I stick to no more than 180 days a year as a tourist, do you think there would be any hassle when my passport indicates what I am doing? Thanks.

@SideTripLife

Жыл бұрын

I live in Bangkok (love KL too:) so not sure about Malaysian rules. However general rule is after 180 days if you're just doing a quick border run to come back, you're likely going to get screened by imm. But generally if one stays under 180 days per year ok. Best enquire at your local MY embassy or consulate.

KL looks nice! Pretty affordable too - will you be getting to any beaches on this trip?
