What A Deal! Business Class on Malaysia's KTM Train (KL to Penang)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- In todays video, we are going to be taking the train from Kuala Lumpur to Penang in business class. Now to be more specific, we are catching the KTM train from KL Sentral and taking the 4 hour and 10 minute journey up to Butterworth station. From here, well catch the 10 minute ferry ride over to Georgetown in Penang. So today's journey will cover a distance of 365kms or 214 miles, which should be enough time to relax and enjoy the scenery for the trip up to Penang. So in todays video we will get picked up from my hotel, make our way over to KL Sentral station, visit the business class lounge within the train station before boarding. Once on the train to Penang, we will have a look inside the cabin and assess the comfort of the seats and entertainment available. We will also get to experience the meal service on the train today before arriving into Butterworth station in the evening
and end the video after a short ferry ride over to Georgetown.

Another awesome Luke Crisp travel video / hot of the press, you sure do get around., looking forward to your next video👍
Thanks Brian, I appreciate the support! 👍
Nice video, Luke. I love traveling by rail, so thank you for sharing your experience. It looked like great service for a pretty reasonable price. As you mentioned, it takes longer than flying but is much less of a hassle. I was in Japan last week and traveled all over by train. It was wonderful. Hope you enjoyed your time in Penang.
Thanks Michael! Yeah very decent service for the price. Japan is somewhere I am yet to visit and traveling on some of the bullet trains is definitely on my to do list. Once again I appreciate the support Michael! All the best!
KL Station is attached to a massive, Mall, you could have wandered around in air conditioned comfort and had many more food choices. I'm flying from Johor to Penang next week and will take the train from Butterworth to KL before getting the coach back. New Subscriber. Next time around I highly recommend stopping off at Ipoh and Taiping, As for "forgot to press record" the story of me vlogging in a nutshell
Should’ve could’ve and would’ve… unfortunately… had no idea… but for next time I’ll keep that in mind. Yeah, I definitely need to see more of Malaysia… including the smaller places in between. I’m planning to get back to Malaysia in the next couple of years. Thanks, as your filming the same kind of thing, I’ll return the favour and check out your content sometime soon. Have a good flight to Penang and enjoy the trip 👍
Welcome to Malaysia.. nice journey to Penang.. I hope you will enjoy your stay in Penang.
Thank you!
In 4 yrs time u could travel east coast msia by high speed train that is now under construction.the train speed likely to be 330 km per hr.frm its central station in gombak k.l u can reach kota baru on the north east in 4 hrs.
Sounds like an awesome development! Would definitely try that out when it’s available
Amazing I thought my $90USD/$130AUD Batik Air Business Class from KL to Langkawi was a good deal. Looked like an appealing way to travel especially considering how far out it is just to get to KLIA Airport!
The train connected to another train station in Thailand towards Hat Yai. From Penang Island, there's a ferry service to Langkawi & minivan to Hat Yai. Schedule & tickets are available online.
Yeah that’s decent! I flew batik in economy between KL and Penang about a year ago, it was slightly cheaper than Malaysia Airlines (economy). How was Langkawi? I’ve never been.
G'day Luke there is a shopping centre at the other end mate called KL Sentral fyi
Ripper again and given from my hotel in KL (lot 10) and the hassle of traffic airport check-in and prices reckon you got far better bang for your buck and avoided a sumo wrestler in the next seat on an aircraft :) Being pretty good on the tooth and saving Asian recipes I love Penang, May I ask what hotel you booked in Penang as due there in NOV .Also another request .What gear do you use in your vids . Especially te sound as it is always spot on even in winds ? Cheers bloke 11 out of 10 as always
Yeah I know lot10, I stayed around the side there once at (Chaos Hotel). Yeah no worries, stayed at the Mclane Boutique Hotel. Quiet… staff were friendly and the hotels in good walking distance to the main places. So for the audio I use a Rode Wireless Go II and I have the deadcat on there (perfect for wind). I use my iPhone to film and also a Sony ZV-E10… I don’t recommend the camera as it’s video stabilization is 👎… Cheers for the comment phil! Enjoy the trip!
Great video!
Cheers 👍
Another rippa video Luke...cheers!
Thanks Rod! I appreciate the comment 👍
It's a great service.
Something I’d recommend for sure!
U could hv gone to nusentral shopping mall which is connected to kl sentral
I had no idea it was there… I suppose I was too focused on making a video. Thanks for the info though, I’ll consider that in the future.
Welcome to penang
Thankyou very much
How far in advance did you buy you business class tickets ? Can you keep your big luggage at your seat or you are required to put it on the luggage racks ? Is there luggage limits ? Can you take in the train 2 check in luggage per person ? Thanks .
@@lilyleung2237 Hi there, I booked the tickets only 3 days in advance… I just had one luggage and placed into the overhead. As for your other questions I am not overly sure and would refer to the ticket terms and conditions. All the best.
Where can i buy train ticket
Do come to Kelantan
Thankyou for the suggestion! Looks beautiful. I’ll have to go there on my next Malaysia trip 🇲🇾
They also have a restaurant car
Yeah? Is that for the economy / standard seat, or can business cabins go there as well? Probably no point for the business cabins really but just wondering.
@@LukeCrisp It's for all categories but with few tables. However you can have take away to your seat
@@imjuzsayin..5017 yeah no kidding. I had no idea 😆 thanks for letting me know 👍
