Red Palm Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Taman Negara

Taman Negara National Park was established in Malaysia in 1938/1939 as the King George V National Park. It was renamed to Taman Negara after Independence, which literally means “national park” in Malay. The total area of Taman Negara is 4,343 km².

Cherating

Cherating is the only real backpacker hub at the east coast of the peninsula on the mainland. Offering plenty of affordable chalets and a relaxed atmosphere, it is good place to stop for a night or two on the way up or down the east coast. The beach itself is not that spectacular and misses the palm directly at the beach. But it has a good vibe and few things you can do like taking a tour or renting a kayak up the river into the mangroves. There is also an active surfer scene when the waves are right. Cherating is located about 30km or 1h by local bus north of Kuantan.

May i know where exactly Red Palm KL (bukit bintang) is located? Is it a walking distance to Sungai Wang Plaza/Berjaya Times Square

Answer:
It’s about 5 minutes walk from either of these places. It’s located on Tengkat Tong Shin, the second street parallel to Jalan Bukit Bintang (with Jalan Alor in between).
Please check http://www.redpalm-kl.com for detailed information.

Hi Tilo, your information is very helpful and would give a try by train for coming visit to Malaysia from Singapore next month.

It really depends on your preferences. The more comfortable way is to take the night night train from Singapore (leaves 10.15pm and arrives in KL 7am). The ticket is 43S$ for the lower berth. For more info check http://www.ktmb.com.my and http://www.seat61.com/Malaysia.html
The cheaper option is to take a bus from Singapore (S$15 from Lavender Bus Station or S$23 for an express coach from Queen Street Bus Station). More Infos: http://www.the-inncrowd.com/singtomsia.htm

DID YOU KNOW?
Trains

There are only 2 train lines on the peninsula, one is the north-south track (Bangkok-Singapore) and one splits off in Gemas (south of KL) and runs to the north-eastern thai boarder near Kota Bharu. This line is also called the jungle train. The train is pricier and slower then the bus but can be more comfortable when travelling in a sleeper car. More info at http://www.ktmb.com.my and http://www.seat61.com/Malaysia.htm
There are currently talks of constructing a bullet train line between Sinpapore and Kuala Lumpur

Cameron Highlands
For someone who loves the nature, and just has 5 or 6 days or even less to spend in West Malaysia, I would highly recommend you to my favourite destination - Cameron Highland.
