Review of Alor Setar – Kuala Lumpur Trip

Alor Setar – Kuala Lumpur: 3 Days, 2 Nights Solo Travel This trip was a solo adventure, no tour bookings, no companions, just Google Maps and a heart ready to explore 🧳🌤️ 🛤️ Starting from Thailand → Alor Setar I took a train from Thailand, crossing the border to Alor Setar, a peaceful and simple city with kind-hearted locals. I strolled around Aman Central Mall, which has everything you need, including easy-to-find food options. For shopaholics, this place won’t disappoint. Tips: If you don’t have Malaysian internet, don’t forget to look for free WiFi at malls, restaurants, or cafes, or buy a SIM card in Thailand for convenience. ✈️ Flight from Alor Setar → KL The small airport in Alor Setar is easy to navigate. A direct flight to KL doesn’t take long. Upon arriving at KL airport, there are various transportation options to get into the city, all very convenient. 🏙️ 2 Nights in Kuala Lumpur Stayed at Kingston Hotel 12@Jalan Raja Laut (safe, clean, and suitable for solo female travelers). Focused on visiting major landmarks: 📍 Petronas Twin Towers: Strolled around KLCC Park, which is romantic at night, even for solo travelers. 📍 Saloma Link Bridge: Perfect for photos, especially with the stunning night lights. 📍 Explored several cafes; KL locals are friendly, and the cafes are clean with easy ordering. 🍽️ Food Tried Nasi Lemak, Roti + Teh Tarik, and refreshing fruit juices, giving a true Malaysian vibe. Visited some local markets; they can be crowded, but going in the late morning is more comfortable. ⸻ 📌 Summary • Traveling solo in Malaysia is safer than expected. • Convenient transportation options; Grab or walking works well. • Malaysians speak good English, making communication easy. • Budget-friendly if planned well. Rating: 9/10 – Definitely going back 💙
