The following weekend, my parents and I made a trip to Kuala Kangsar. There are few options available for you to get from KL to this royal town such as by bus, driving on your own or taking the KTM ETS train, the fastest metre-gauge train service in Malaysia which operates along the electrified and double-tracked stretch of the West Coast Line between Gemas and Padang Besar in Peninsular Malaysia.

The ETS train departed from departure gate B at KL Sentral station.



First, we had our breakfast at the station's food court.



Then, it was time to board our train to Kuala Kangsar. We took the ETS Platinum Class which will stop at 4 other stations along the way before reaching Kuala Kangsar around 3 hours later. KTM Business class, the most premium and most amenities class onboard the train was sold out on that day as we purchased our tickets a bit late (around 2 weeks before our departure date).

The final destination of this train was Padang Besar, in the smallest Malaysian state of Perlis.

We were greeted with the green jungle scenery along with the traditional Malaysian village sight throughout our journey.
