I have been to Kuala Lumpur more than 25 times, over the years. Absolutely love the city. Much nicer than cities such as Bangkok and Manila.
😮😮😮
Under rated is better than over rated
Kuala Lumpur is now the 6th most visited city in the world. So, it's no longer a secret!😅😊
Lol
Relax bro, it maybe is the 6th most visited but it's mainly for a quick stop reason before going to Bangkok or something
Where did you find this information?
@@wilsonlee558 Google to find out
bangladesh tourist come to kuala lumpur but never return to their country😅
Kuala Lumpur is an underated hidden gems of ASIA.
certainly looks amazing
M'sia has the most skyscrapers for a city in Asia & maybe world.
They say Kuala Lumpur is one of best place to raise children (for expats). Perhaps this city provides English international school, English is second language, educational parks for cheaper price & multicultural exposure.
Yes. It is. Because it resists China Communist Party and Chinese culture.
This is interesting. I know this is something a lot of people will want to know more about.
Yes they do have International English School.. don't worry about that..many expat in Malaysia love to stay longer..also many malaysian good in english..so that's not a big problem for expats to live here..
Immigrant, not expat
Welcome to Malaysia everyone! Thought of giving some tips to all foreign travellers here:
1. Malaysia is a very welcoming nation - don’t hesitate to come! English is widely spoken in the country esp in big cities and Malaysian are very friendly people. You will notice people will adore you as a tourist and don’t be shocked if they even try to take pictures with you as if you’re a celebrity! Be prepared - dress to kill (joking! Pls only wear light clothes here, its humid)
2. There is only one season in Malaysia which is summer so you are more than welcome to come anytime of the year. Just be mindful that certain parts of the country experience monsoon especially along East Coast and during this period of time - travel to island, sea related activities cant be done during monsoon due to safety. But there is always islands in other parts of Malaysia, so you can still come!
3. Be mindful if you are visiting Malaysia during school holiday or festive season (Eid, Chinese New Year, Deepavali) as it will be jam packed in hotels, roads and shopping malls. Booked early all your flights, transit, hotel etc. Price can be triple double during festive season. Not to forget the amount of cars on the road! Malaysian takes their holiday season very seriously so be prepared.
4. Kuala Lumpur is only a part of Malaysia. Dont spend all your time here - the hidden gem truly lies in the countryside. Island, sea side, small cities will give you a new cultural experience. You’ll be surprised to see we Malaysian living harmoniously regardless of our race, faith and religion. Food is a big part of us so be prepared for an exhilarating gastronomical experience. Try local food and be mindful too on the level of spiciness here - it can get really spicy or we say “pedas!”
5. If budget is not an issue, hotels in Malaysia are relatively affordable. For a price of a bed in a typical 8 dorm hostel in central London - you will get a good king size room in a 4 star hotel in Malaysia. Plus buffet breakfast (you’ll be surprised how Malaysian do their buffet here). If you wanna splurge, 150 to 200 euros per night will give you a luxurious one night stay in a 5 star hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Big hotel chains are here and try to find good deals esp those with packages (often found in hotel’s app). If you’re lucky you will get breakfast, dinner and spa in a package for a deal. Boutique hotel is also a good options if you like to try something different and luxurious. Theres plenty of options in big city.
6. Like other major city in the world - beware and be mindful of your belongings. Malaysia is a safe country generally but use your common sense and be street smart. Always be vigilant and keep your valuables safe.
7. Lastly, (most) Malaysians are very friendly. Just ask for help if you need anything. Most Malaysian will be more than happy to help. A lot of us are very skilful in taking good pictures for social media - use them! Just ask if you’re unsure. English is not widely written on signage/ boards etc in certain parts of the country so it can be confusing at times. Your Grab driver can answer all your questions too - just ask!
Hope all of you enjoy your stay here! Everyone are more than welcome to enjoy Malaysian Hospitality 🇲🇾
Selamat Datang.
Welcome to the under-rated Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 🇲🇾❤️😊
Welcome to Malaysia. That place with the confluence of the two rivers where you were filming the monitor lizard is actually the original place where the name "Kuala Lumpur" came from: "kuala" means a confluence of 2 rivers and "lumpur" means mud, so the name Kuala Lumpur literally means "the muddy confluence". The mosque you see in the video was built over that muddy confluence.
That's a really cool fact! Thanks for sharing 🙏
Glad that you decided to stay and explore more of KL, rather than going back to BALI immediately. You will find that KL is not only cheaper in many areas like accommodation, food, etc., than Indonesia but also than other neighbouring cities like Singapore, Bangkok or HCM.
Top 8 tallest building in Kuala Lumpur
1) Merdeka PNB 118 - 679
meters (second tallest
building in the world)
2) The Exchange TRX 106 -
454 meters (one of the
luxury and expensive mall
in KL)
3) Pertronas Twin Towers -
452 meters (Tallest Twin
Towers in the world)
4) KL tower - 421 meters
5) Oxley Tower - 346 meters
6) Four Seasons Hotel - 343
meters
7) Menara Telekom Tower -
310 meters
8) 8 Conlay KL - 308 meters
KL has the advantage of being close to the neighboring countries of Thailand and Singapore. If you are bored, you can go there because land and air transport is quite comfortable and easy, if in Borneo it is close to Brunei, Kalimantan Indonesia and the Philippines
I'm going there in October! I'm really excited to visit Malaysia
Wellcome to Malaysia particularly KL,Penang..etc
As soon as I saw the view, I knew the building. Ceylonz Suite. I stayed there a week ago. The little convenance store on the ground floor is a life saver. Grab deliveries made it so you could get a good days work in without having to worry about food. Walking distance to a lot of places (Redoor Cafe was a favorite for a Caramel Frappe on the go). KL has had the best food I've experience in my travels. Hated I had to leave after only getting to stay 2 weeks.
Ah that's awesome, it's really a great place! Was such a good places to explore KL from. Thanks for watching :)
Thank you for promoting my country. Love from KL.
Welcome to KL Malaysia 🇲🇾
KL looks just amazing really.
Welcome to KL, Malaysia. Very glad that you extended your stay. Hope that you have had a good time and a pleasant stay.
Thank you! KL is fantastic :)
@@thenordicadam Wonderful. 😀
Close to the Botanical Park, there is another Park, called Tugu Park or TamanTugu. It's the Jungle Track in the middle of the city. You should try to walk there, it's still free to enter there. It's like you're in a tropical forest instead of in the middle of a city. Very amazing
That sounds fantastic, and just something we'd wanna do - will be sure to check it out. Thank you!
TO KNOW MALAYSIA 💖
TO LOVE MALAYSIA 🇲🇾💚
Definitely good decision to stay kuala-lumpur longer time
I would check out Penang (Island). I love it so much I am trading San Francisco for it (sort of, half the year) in retirement.
Glad to hear you are enjoyi 18:36 ng your visit to Malaysia, sure hope your posting would help to promote visit Malaysia. Terima Kasih TQ You might like to visit Bukit Bintang, Times Sq, Pavilion etc. You are most welcome to visit Petaling Jaya on the LRT, MRT
KL over Bali. Oh yeah! ❤
KL a nice place to brought up a family. There are many international schools, good private hospitals, malls, can easily and cheap travel to nearby countries by flight. Malaysia an English speaker as 2nd language.
Hey dude you should wait until you Hari Raya Festival and it is about in 20 days to go. Try to visit Suburban area like Baling in Kedah state situated in the Northern part of Malaysia. Try together celebrate the Hari Raya with local people in there. Take a chance to experiance the biggest of them Malaysia Festival dude. So many things you got try during this celebration and If you love to try it pls let me know and I will help you.
That sounds fantastic, will look into it, thank you!
Not sure yet if we are still in Malaysia then - but maybe this can make us stay even longer ;) Thanks for watching!
Selamat datang ke Kuala Lumpur... Dan selamat menjamu selera dan menikmati tempat-tempat menarik
Peminat dari🇲🇾
Terima kasih!
Yes, people rarely stroll during hot time, 12 noon to 4 pm.another reason not many people in kl bcos many of govt. administration hv been transferred to putrajaya 30 km south of kl.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing :)
Take care outside there is hot .. drink enough water while enjoy Kuala Kumpur .. ❤
To try Malay food, you can go to Kampung Baru near KLCC. It is the oldest village that still exists in KL.
Malaysia is not perfect but it's a beautiful country because of malays, chinese, Indians, kadazan dusun and ibans etc etc better than Singapore anyday
Hi guy's
Hopefully you guys enjoy your new experience here
Have a good day
😎 cool
Superb ❤
So nice and I really enjoyed watching it ❤
Further Success and great weekend 🍀🍀🍀
Now is the fasting month ramazan. Not many people walking around in the noon. Come near sunset like around 4pm above, there will be many eating stalls open by the roadside for people to buy food for iftar (breaking of fasting). After sunset most places will be more crowded until midnight , people will have snack
Hello & nice to meet you here. hope you will enjoy here. TQ.✌
Welcome to Malaysia ❤
tq welcome to kl malaysia
A good honest review
An ideal place to set up HUB. Nowadays pretty much Digital Nomads everywhere... 😁
Nice walking tour with beautifull country❤❤❤❤
You still didn't yet go to the Penang, Langkawi Island, Sabah and etc. Wish you stay here longer and let others people see, what Malaysia truly are.
Selamat Datang..
why bali?? you should go LANGKAWI, Sabah or Terengganu, Malaysia
Right!!!
Jalan Alor and Jalan Petaling are too touristy for him. Bali is not touristy? Even more….
@@Idaleasofia24 Bali full of trash....and got car park scammer...
08:44 - we see Sally crack a smile!!
great video, my favourite vlog so far 100%
😂😂
Thank you for staying longer in Malaysia.. I hope you will visit Ipoh, Melaka and Penang next time.
Try stay in The Roberson Bukit Bintang Suite.. quite reasonable and easy access to anywhere also.
Thans nordic adam❤
Welcome to malaysia ❤️🇲🇾
I'd avoid Jalan Alor (it doesn't feel the actual Malaysian there + touristy + price hike) and will go to the Kampung Bharu instead due to the local price food and feels authentic Malaysian vibe.
Yeah, that's how we felt.. Thanks for the great recommendation! :)
You make a good choice 👍. Worth for your money😊
I would return because of safety and the food. The prices are so affordable and first rate service even when booking for inter city trains. The heat and humidity takes adjusting to
Well, those paintings on the sides of buildings are called murals, not graffiti.
There have plenty of lake garden in KL area such as Titiwangsa Lake Garden, Taman Metropolitan Kepong, Taman Tasik Ampang. If you like hiking you can try Bukit Guling Ayam, Ketumbar Hill, Bukit Gasing, Bukit Besi which you can see KL skyline. Also Bukit Ampang where is local go for sunset with KL skyline, accessible for car , just take Grab. Local food is better and cheap in suburbs like Titiwangsa, Keramat , Wangsa Maju, Setapak, Taman Melati, Taman Melawati rtc.
MUST VISIT DESTINATION!!!😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺🌺🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
located at the center, Malaysia is heart of South East Asia. settle down here & have easy accessibilty to travel around
There are many applications for digital nomad visa recently
underrated city ... the best city ini asia i feel
hi bro. use an umbrella when you are walking about out on the streets to help protect you from the sun.
Westerners find it funny that we use umbrella to protect from the sun. They use umbrella to protect from the rain.
True - Im from a cold, rainy country. Using an umbrella is only for the rain (in my head), would feel weird walking around with one here! But it would certainly help 😅
We Malaysians go to parks either early in the morning (7am to probably 10am) and/or in the late evening beyond 5pm. Anything in between is too hot for us.. 😅✌
Yes we have great parks eg in penang and taiping
Hi..welcome to kuala Lumpur..
Thank you 🙏
Kuala Lumpur is one of the 7 wonders of cities in the world 🌎
Fyi, the open aquarium at aquaria, you are allowed to touch the fish there
if u visit the Batu Caves...not far from it is the Kanching 7 tier waterfall.. take a dip in the fresh cool water...u gonna enjoy it
Great tip, thank you! Will be sure to check it out. Thanks for watching :)
But a lot of monkeys there like batu caves
Now is month of Ramadan
Please visit our Ramadan bazaar
Lots of legendary local foods
U wouldn’t want to miss it! 😎
The crowd begins at evening time where the sun is a bit chilled down. night time always crowded till 3 am. some restaurants are open 24/7 like 7-11. most people have umbrellas or folded rain coats. the city is surrounded by the jungles which surrounded by outer cities which surrounded by jungles. msia is a parallel universe in its own. its like being in a virtual game where the past and the the future, the city and the forest, the religious and the pagans, the normal and the lgbt, exist together... msia is a simulation of a weird nation.😅
If "underrated" is the theme, do not fail to visit the Richmoore Hotel in Pudu. It is Grossly & Severely Underrated in comparison to the more famous Soi Cowboy, Angeles City, Pattaya Beach, etc.
Yup it is underrated
16:06 5 to 10 minute waiting for the elevator that is quite fast bro for tall building. I thought half to 1 hour. 😂
Hahaha, the worst I did was around 20 minutes to get down and back up. That felt like an eternity!
Anyone know what the weather is like in KL and Langkawi in June time? thinking of going but worried if itll be raining a lot
I am subscribing coz you look like Roger Federer
9:08 This is not normal Malaysian practice ie calling people into their restaurant and things like that. This only happens in this place (Jalan Alor) which I as a local hate. It gives off a wrong impression of Malaysia and the prices are ridiculously high for "street food" since it's full of tourists. Locals don't usually eat there. We might walk by but spending money there..... NOPE!!
There is this waterfall within an hour or slightly more . Here's the name> Sungai Tekala waterfall
Just RM2 per person.
It is a real nature . Open 8 to 5pm😊😊
Welcome to kl! Hope u guys have a lovely time here
Thank you! Loving it so far :)
Why not go to Penang?
Cool
7:32 Visitors not to knock at the aquarium glass and not to dip their hands into the aquarium tank - these are good practices at aquariums everywhere. Just that I think these good practices are not clearly shown, written and explained in this Acquaria KLCC. A shame because the aquarium is otherwise excellent.
hey ho! ill help you abit on the pronounciation of "Merdeka" which means "Independence" or "free" from the british colonizations. simply say "MER" (as in MERmaid) "DE" (DAY) "KA" (CAR with silent "R"). hope you find it fun enjoying the rising country of Malaysia!
Thanks! That makes a lot of sense :)
People dont go to park in mid-day because it's too hot.
Hi, there are other places to see and enjoy in Malaysia other than Kuala lumpur
Malaysia's secret has been unveiled. It's no longer a secret for Malaysians to enjoy only. 😃
❤❤❤
..we barely leave this room.... Wow...
Why is that wow? 😂 we were working 🤷♂️
Some tourists are either in the jungle or islands. Not everyone likes city life.
I like a little bit of everything :) Kuala Lumpur seems like a great place to start exploring the rest of Malaysia!
@@thenordicadam dont forget hill area too. Genting Highland & Cameron Highland. across at the Borneo, there's Mt Kinabalu
Where are you from sir?
I am from Denmark! 🇩🇰
mantapp!
That's a loud fart!!😅
Ya just remember tell your country plp we not stay on tree 🌲 will do 😂😂😂 if not many plp thought we are
I tried to like your program. The like button doesn''t seem to work.
Well, just watching and commenting as a great support! Thank you 🙏
Kuala Lumpur are heaven to foreigner because its accommodated them & their lifestyle
Plus a cheap currency & various food from all around the world (although to be noted, it is compulsory to taste the real MALAY food rather than having a chinese or indian food, go out of your comfort zone, our Malay food are cleaner & hygienic as we are taught in Islam to be clean & hygienic)
STAY AWAY FOR PETALING STREET & JALAN ALOR
Embrace Central Market, National Museum, Old palace, kampung2
It's not graffiti, it's street art that is commissioned.
You don't called those wall paintings "graffiti" like you have in your part of the world.
Sorry for using the wrong word, English is not my first language - murals would surely be more correct. Thanks for watching!
is your girlfriend afraid of camera ,,, why she doesn't appear or talk
Just change the apartment unit
You aint go to Malaysia if you dont try the real MALAY (Melayu) dishes such as nasi lemak, nasi dagang, nasi kerabu, keropok lekor, hundreds of ‘lauk-pauk’
Its like going to Japan but not having sushi, takoyaki😂😂😂😂

Yap Ah Loy established Kuala Lumpur(KL) as the economic centre of peninsular Malaysia.
Totally wrong information, please get facts right!!! The person who established & founded Kuala Lumpur is Sultan Puasa. When tin was found in Kuala Lumpur many years later, people like Yap Ah Loy come to be miner for British. 😊
I personally think Kuala Lumpur is boring.
Bcoz u r not real... 😂
My 17 yr old daughter loves the bookstores in KLCC, Lalaport, Pavillion Bukit Jalil and Bukit Bintang
What a hater LOL 😂
You go to Thailand loooo, enjoy with all the lady boys, bar girls every where n climb the poles with them😁😁👍🤪😛
By any chance you r a Singaporean?? Wait!... Can't be. U r not real!!😂😂😂
