About 9 hours of flying later we arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Customs and all that was a breeze and we quickly found a cheap shuttle into the city. Then we hopped onto a komuter train to our 5 star hotel- The Legend Hotel…. It wasn’t as 5 star as we had expected but was still pretty nice, plus it had a great view of the PETRONAS Twin Towers. I suppose when you have the special internet price you’re going to be put in most basic room (we didn’t even get the plush bathrobes, boo). All tired from traveling we grabbed some average food and called it a night.
The next morning was more of the same, hanging around in the rooms, then checking out and going out in the city. We headed straight to PETRONAS Towers only to find out that the daily 1640 free tickets were all gone, so we’d have to come back another day.
Next we had some bad lunch at a rip-off restaurant. The fact that no one was in there before we came in should’ve been a sign. Oops.
After lunch we went back to the hotel, grabbed our shit, went back to the airport and checked in and waited around for our next flight- to Phuket, Thailand!
It was only a short flight, but it scared the shit out of me- we took off into a lightning storm. Andy wasn’t much help as he tried to make me more scared by faking worried looks etc. But we made it in one piece and again customs and shit was easy as.
We didn’t really know where our hotel was but quickly discovered it was pretty far from all the action in Patong Beach so we told reception we only wanted to stay 1 night instead of 6. He was pretty pissed and refused to give us the price we’d been quoted via email. Oh well. We dumped our stuff and took a 5 minute tuk-tuk ride into the beating heart of Patong to find a better place to stay. We ended up having a few Changs at Bar One first and played the nail game before going to a hotel Andy had stayed before. The woman at reception gave us a good price for 5 nights so we’ll probably move there. It doesn’t have a pool but it’s a 5 minute WALK to the beach rather than a 5 minute drive.
