Thanks KaKiLang for the compliment. I think the most important thing is a good GPS with updated map. I'd do researches because I never drive further than Genting using NSH. Well it's true, I had been driving in Northern Thailand for my past 10 years basically entertaining small groups of tourist. But I was wondering why KaKiLang knew this? :wacko:

I like to take a detour to Klang for Bak Kut Tei, excellent stopover if you are not keen to brave the KL traffic for even better food.

haha..well done. you make a 8 hr drive sounds easier than going to Bukit Batok St 11 from Tampines. [thumbsup][thumbsup]

I heard the NSH before/after Ipoh is quite 'scenic', correct? ........ but the nilai/shad-alam way is shorter.

btw, basing on an 8-hr drive, if we leave tuas say 6am, should be in time for dinner in Penang!! ....... not bad at all :D

It should be exit 214 Nilai Utara instead of just Nilai. The two are different.

you're right:- 214 leads to highways, whereas the one before it brings us thru Nilai suburbs etc...... most sepang trackies know this too well [:)]

Thanks again bro!

Actually exit 215 will still bring you to E6, but you have to navigate thru some local roads, quite time-wasting and may overwork your GPS.... [:)]

Oh Bro, so great that you are interested. End of June or beginning of July. Don't wanna stuck in the school holidays period.

 

 

And going to Penang is basically my stop - over trip. I will stay there for a night, and head up straight to the Northern Thailand ( The Golden Triangle).....so meaning if we can have a ride up together, you have to come back Sg yourself........hope you can join in too!!!!!!!! Hear from you again bro! [wave]

Anyone can advise on this? The shortest way, the recommended R&R along the highway, the actual Exit from NSH heading all the way up to Penang. Thanks for sharing and any inputs appreciate!!! :mellow:

If you are kidding with us, this is ticklish. Otherwise the question is a little confusing from NSH (Johore/Bukit Mertajam?) from Singapore to Penang. Buy used GPS cheaper.

Buy a GPS, set it to use shortest distance and then follow the instruction [laugh]

 

GPS is so cheap and you still have to ask for directions? sigh... [:(]

Yes, it's very scenic in fact. That stretch of NSH cuts through some mountains, therefore the descents and ascents are a bit steep for a highway. My 1.6L kimchi car has problems climbing the ascent at high speeds. But take your time and drive through that area in the day, and take in the wonderful view that awaits [;)]

 

Oh, one more thing. You will still hit that section even if you take the Nilai Utara/Shah Alam stretch. Ipoh is way after KL.
