Malaysia : Road trip to Batu Pahat

[Takuyazzz]

I just went back to BP town for the 2nd time in 10 days (left my ipad charger at the hotel)...this time round, tried the seaview restaurant and it was dirt cheap, so much so that my gf and i were "shocked" when we saw the amount on the bill... Ordered the Fuzhou egg soup, stir fried dou miao, cereal toufu, a pork ribs dish, rice and tea...only rm30...

 

@Charlebrown: it should take about an hour on the NSHW and 30mins on small roads after u exit the ayer hitam toll.

 

 

[Kurty]

can go there and shop for rim.

 

wide variety, pretty cheap price.

Bro, after clearing Johore Customs, how long is the travelling time to BP town centre? assuming running at legal speed limit. thks!

 

if you keep to speed limits, it usually takes about 2 hours to reach BP, for first timers, easier to exit at Ayer Hitam, once u clear the toll, you will hit a T-junction. Turn left and then head straight all the way. From Ayer Hitam to BP, its a good 2 lanes road both ways.

about 30 minutes to BP town center.

 

Those heading to Ayer Hitam Eway entrance to return to SGP, especially on sundays, please keep to speed limit...hot place to pay for kopi money...usually at the University there...where there are lotsa overhead bridges...

 

Kampung areas speed limit is only 60kmh.

 

Another way to BP is to exit at Simpang Renggam.

stay crystal inn is good enough

3 stars i think

 

but comfortable and its just next to the summit shopping centre

[Acanthus]

i still find Katerina to be "safest" in terms of parking.

 

the carpark is the road around the hotel within the hotel walls. And night time u will see the security guards patrolling.

 

Unless you are driving a supercar, should not be a problem, i've seen a ferrari and a hummer parked there before.

 

 

[Byond]

same as crystal inn

all the 3 walls are parking lots with guard patrolling...

katarina is about 200 m away from the summit...

if u dont mind walking, definately the hotel is worth considering

 

rem got one msia MP, that mr chua.....

he kena filmed with his lover over their sexual tryst there

 

hhaa

so becareful of hidden cameras....

surely one does not want to be an overnite star on such things...
