A delightful 4-day, 3-night trip to Malaysia

Hello everyone~ Today, I’m sharing a review of my trip to Malaysia, a country brimming with charm, unforgettable experiences, and a harmonious blend of cultures 🏙️🌴. This trip lasted 4 days and 3 nights, focusing on relaxing sightseeing, capturing beautiful photos, enjoying delicious food, and strolling around to refresh the soul. Perfect for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and recharge while collecting plenty of memorable snapshots! 🌈 Day 1: Kuala Lumpur – Hello Malaysia~ We flew from Don Mueang Airport to KLIA2 (Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2), a flight of just over 2 hours. Upon landing, we immediately opened Google Maps and downloaded Grab, which is super affordable. A ride from the airport to the city costs only about 50-70 MYR. We chose to stay in Bukit Bintang because it’s convenient, close to malls, public transport, and most importantly… there’s plenty of food! 🤤 Just a short walk away is Jalan Alor, a famous night food street. We kept the first day relaxed, starting with a visit to Merdeka Square, a landmark featuring a giant Malaysian flag in the center. It’s perfect for strolling, taking photos of colonial-style buildings, and enjoying coffee at nearby cafes with such a cozy atmosphere that you won’t want to leave. In the evening, we explored Jalan Alor thoroughly! The street is packed with food stalls offering fried snacks, desserts, fruit shakes, seafood, and the must-try Satay. The marinated meat is grilled to perfection and paired with a delicious Malaysian peanut sauce—absolutely divine! 😋 🌸 Day 2: Iconic Twin Towers and Batu Caves Adventure We started the morning fresh and headed to Malaysia’s most iconic landmark—the Petronas Twin Towers ✨. The garden behind the towers offers a legendary photo spot where tourists from all over the world gather to capture the best shots. We didn’t go up to the Skybridge due to long queues and the relatively high price. Instead, we took photos from below and saved time for other attractions. In the afternoon, we took a train to Batu Caves, a famous Hindu temple with 272 colorful rainbow steps. If you plan to climb, wear comfortable shoes and bring water—it’s quite a workout! But once you reach the top, you’ll realize it’s totally worth it 🙏✨. Inside the main cave, the atmosphere is grand and cool, offering a serene and calming experience. There are playful monkeys around too—adorable but mischievous, so be careful with your food! 🐒 In the evening, we returned to Bukit Bintang and visited Pavilion Mall. This luxurious mall features high-end brands, chic cafes, and a food court designed like an ancient Chinese town—perfect for stunning photos 📸. 🐚 Day 3: Exploring Putrajaya – A Romantic New Capital We woke up early and took a Grab to Putrajaya, a city known for its government buildings and stunning architecture that feels like stepping into a magical world 🏰. The highlight was the Pink Mosque (Putra Mosque) by the lakeside. Its pastel pink tones against the clear blue water create a dreamy scene 🩷. Visitors can enter the mosque (modest attire required), and women are provided with headscarves. It’s a fascinating cultural experience, and the locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Afterward, we took a 30-minute boat ride around the lake, enjoying views of the parliament buildings, modern Islamic-style bridges, and the serene cityscape—it felt like a slice of heaven 🛶. Back in the city, we stopped by Central Market to shop for cute souvenirs like keychains, tea, local snacks, and trendy Malaysia-themed T-shirts 🎁. For dinner, we tried Korean BBQ near our hotel (yes, Malaysia has BBQ too! Though it’s chicken, beef, and seafood instead of pork). It was a nostalgic yet delicious meal at a very reasonable price. 🌟 Day 4: Farewell Morning On the last morning, we checked out of our hotel with a heavy heart, feeling deeply connected to this city 🧳💔. Before heading to the airport, we enjoyed Nasi Lemak, Malaysia’s national dish consisting of coconut rice, boiled eggs, fried fish, cucumber, and spicy sambal. It’s reminiscent of Thai mixed rice dishes and absolutely addictive! We then boarded our flight back to Thailand, carrying countless wonderful memories. ⸻ ✨ Summary of a charming trip you’ll love 💖 Malaysia is a country that beautifully combines nature, urban life, and culture. It’s easy to travel around, affordable, filled with friendly locals, and offers delicious food that will leave you craving more. We spent approximately 6,500 THB (excluding airfare), enjoying good food, comfortable accommodations, and a complete itinerary. If you’re looking for a quick 4-day escape, let Malaysia be your heart’s retreat—you’ll surely fall in love just like we did 🧡.
