Red Palm Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
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.

Penang

Penang is the name of an island in the Straits of Malacca, and also of one of the states of Malaysia, located on the north-west coast of peninsular Malaysia. Penang is the second smallest state in Malaysia after Perlis, and the eighth most populous. A resident of Penang is colloquially known as a Penangite. The city Georgetown is the 2nd biggest city in Malaysia and traveller′s hub.

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
