I'm still torn between the train and the bus. The train has the advantage of a shower.
as for rocking, it actually helps me sleep but i can sleep through anything!
Since SIN-KUL(-ZJR-BKK) is a trip I, too, intend to take in early March, I followed
Seat61's advice at Tip 3 under 'Tickets bought in Singapore' and priced out (but didn't buy yet) on the
KTMB site:
A '0th-class' (Deluxe Sleeper) on Train 12, SIN-KUL, combined with a dummy 2nd-class on the previous day, KUL-SIN:
MYR141.80 (USD42 or GBP20)
A '0th-class' (Deluxe Sleeper) on Train 12, SIN-KUL alone:
MYR310.32 (USD92 or GBP45)
The advice works.
Anyone ever then been on to Penang and Bangkok (or the other way round)? I'd be interested what's thought of these segments.
Also, Singapore is probably the right forum; deep in this thread might not be the right place, but here goes: I've also been pricing BKK-SIN
flights, and the cheapest seems to be Jetstar Asia...anyone flown this airline, particularly this route?
Thanks!
