Yes, we will get back from Genting Highlands a bit late, most likely, and hit the Indian food, which I love. My wife and 19 year old step daughter will probably enjoy too as long as not too spicy. My two young girls will probably end up with McD or something, but maybe we can find them some non-spicy kebabs or something like that. Maybe I can get them to like naan. Our one night hotel there is the Easy Hotel, right underneath the monorail station. Not fancy but good for a quick rest before leaving on the train to Penang in the morning. I sent them a msg on Facebook messenger and they answered a bunch of questions immediately. Great customer service that I am not used to here.

I'm trying to get our AirBnb close to one of the main areas, but there are several to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few minutes walk to Petaling Street which is where the road is partly closed at night and lots of food. Ate there every night. From there also walked to the Chinatown markets. Also easy walk into the city. The balcony had good views and the fireworks felt like you were in a war zone but great views. I ran across Swiss Garden. We would like to be close to one of the eating streets, but it also seems there is plenty eat everywhere! Looking forward to the food! Where / when do they do fireworks? We would like that!

But they never come up on my Airbnb searches because all the 2 br are not available on our dates. I went through his listings and looked at availability, and he has very very few open dates. His business must be kicking A and with that many units he must have a big staff. However, there are 2 br available on Agoda. Sounds like you were happy with area, which is where I want to be. Were you also happy with Swiss Garden, in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big fella but aisle seat fine. Enjoy your trip! We were very pleasantly surprised with Air Asia! Organized, good crew, and the A320 was clean and newer. No advertising inside! We left and arrived early. My exit row was ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OnMyWay Posted July 27, 2023 Author Popular Post Posted July 27, 2023 We were lucky to get this Airbnb just last week! Berjaya Times Square on the top floor, 43. Adjacent to the BTS mall. Adjacent to the monorail. This is actually a hotel with some condo units, it appears. Huge 2 br 2 bath, but no cooking, only micro and frig. I don't know why Philippines AirBnb are so overpriced. This was about p4750 a night. Went to the hotel breakfast buffet for bf. Very nice for only 457 pesos. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OnMyWay Posted July 29, 2023 Author Popular Post Posted July 29, 2023 Bad hip and all, made it up to Batu Caves yesterday. Going down was harder than up because the narrow steps were not made for size 13 shoes. Had to be extra careful to avoid tumbling! I wonder if anyone has fallen and taken out 10-15 tourists with them? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) Nice pics. In the group that I was in, I was the only one to traverse the steps up and down---most in the group who refused to go were in their 30's. Did you get harassed by the bands of marauding monkeys during your trek? Edited July 29, 2023 by Lee spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
