Check here : http://sg.fivestarsonline.com/coaches
Buying in KL is cheaper, but you have to be certain that tickets don't sell out before you are able to buy.

Hi I'm heading to kl next month,anybody has any idea which is the best prepaid card for mobile in KL? and where to buy? are they in micro-sim?

All of you heading to KL beware of eating at Jalan Alor. This place used to be a cheap area for good local food like stingray, lala, chicken wing and so on (similar to our newton circus). When I first visited this place in early 2000s, I can see many locals eating here, food were cheap and reasonable.

Fast forward to 2013. Knn, this entire stretch has become a slaughter joint. Food not nice, and the prices same as Singapore!!! Totally not worth it. Many tourists here also, gone are the locals. They also employ many foreign workers like Myanmar ppl to cook and serve. Totally not worth it.

Avoid!!!

Thanks for the heads up!

This is something I noticed back in 2009. Locals avoid the area. In fact, in touristy eating places in Malacca, KL and Penang, local cooks and bosses have delegated the cooking to eager Myanmar subordinates. You have to be a local to know where to locate the good food of the past.

mico-SIM quite common. At the most they have the cutter to cut from standard SIM.

I'm not too familiar with the various malaysian telcos. So far just choose and buy on the spot
Last trip up in May, I used Digi. I think it was RM3/day and I was allowed quite a lot of data + calls/SMS. Seems like a fair price.

If you take midnight one, the bus go really fast and will reach there at around 3am. It's faster but you need to think of where to stay

agreed, better to take morning coach or fly. first coach, aeroline, NICE all ok.

If you plan to take the last bus, better take a coach that sends you directly to Puduraya since your hotel is there. KKKL, Konsortium and Sri Maju still do. You do not want to caught having to travel across the city during the wee hours of the morning, especially from TBS. If you cannot arrange an early check-in at that hour, at least there are places in Chinatown where you can wait it out, like the dim sum place or cafes in the area.

The earliest coach from Singapore will get you there before noon, right in time to check-in, I suppose. But you lose the morning.

That being a long weekend, I am not sure how the traffic is going to be at the checkpoints.

please do go early! I went there on a weekday around 10am+, by 11.15am most stalls are closed/closing already. Popiah and Hainanese coffee is fantastic! enjoy!
