Train from KUALA LUMPUR to PENANG | The Easiest Way
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 11. 2019
- We travelled from Kuala Lumpur (KL) to Penang, Malaysia using Grab Taxis, Train and Boat.
The Grab App is an easy and cheap way to get around Malaysia. To use the Grab app you need data, so get a local SIM card!
The train tickets we pre-booked online and we were in economy class. The train was brilliant, air conditioned and even played movies!
The boat tickets we picked up at the boat dock, and they were very cheap! It was a lovely smooth ride.
All in all, our very first travel day in Asia travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Penang went without a hitch!

The train is so good in Malaysia! We found it the best way to get around :) Thanks for sharing this video. The Nasi Lemak looked great!
Ooohhh I missed Penang.. I worked there before.. I hope you enjoy your visit!!!
Interesting.....I'm definitely going to try the train next time I make that trip.
Hi 30 And A Wake Up! We were so impressed with how comfortable enjoy the journey was and would definitely recommend it :) enjoy!
Thanks for sharing, I'd love to visit Penang!
We are glad you enjoyed 😊 definitely one for the bucket list
Terbaiklah enjoyy👍👍👍
this is very informative thx u very much
RM5 for nasi lemak? Totally ripped off. RM 5 nasi lemak should come with friend chicken
Hi Axlroll, yes i have to hold my hands up, i didn't make the right choice though i didn't know at the time. I think we need to come back to Malaysia to try again! we might even do a whole vlog on Nasi Lemaks! :)
Yea..actually this nasi lemak cost rm2 only or less..
Rob & Jenny with that size of nasi lemak...it should be price between RM1 to RM2. Even in expensive place like shopping mall or airport, the price shall be less than RM5.
A friendly chicken in nasi lemak???
Nasi lemak with fried chicken costs RM9.90 at KLCC food court, 4th floor..
The mainland part of Penang is called Seberang Perai
Interesting video - I like videos where you get to tag along for the ride. - Subscribed!
YAYY great to have you here Sony!! and glad you enjoy the videos 🙌🤗
I knew Penang in 1968. Loved it.
Beautiful in. Malaysia very good foods healthy fresh foods spices as well thank you for sharing your beautiful healthy foods enjoy your holiday there. Bless you both .
Thank you Anne! We loved the food in Malaysia 🤗 very spicy but I think we have started to grow a tolerance 🤯😝
Where do u live Anny?
I love by trains be it in Malaysia, UK, Europe and Australia including Indonesia i can meet locals and beautiful sceneries.
Love it. Keep posting
Hi B Saputra! Thank you very much :):):) we are glad you are enjoying the vlogs

Hi guys... Enjoy ur time in Malaysia...btw...im ur 303th subscriber 😁
Hi Herihazril and our 303th subscriber!! Thank you very much for your support 🙌😊🙌😊🙌😊
The nasi lemak has no standard of taste.
Its always has a difference taste based on where you bought it or who make it.
Some seller make it spicy like you just put a fire in your mouth, some make the sambal sweeter like a candy (the east coaster nasi lemak seller like to make sambal far more sweeter).
Hi Hammer Fall! Thank you for this information. We definitely want to sample more kinds of Nasi Lemak so it is just a perfect excuse to come back to Malaysia!
That's good to know. We have found a lot of variation in the malaysian food as we travel around from place to place.
Thanks for the lovely vlog for the journey from KL to Penang by train. I was looking for the train where one can sleepover (on the train) overnight but this one would do too ( I suppose). Not sure how long is the train journey. So once you both reach Butterworth, is there a long walking journey from the train station to the ferry station? I was thinking of bringing my elderly parents to Penang ( from KL) but I am worry about the long walking distance.
Liked and subscribed; We try to travel by only train and boat. I miss the food and had to laugh at the duck seat.
Thank you so much for your support! It is great that you try to stick to trains and boats and it is much more scenic that way 🙌🦆
welcome to my beloved Penang.....
Thank you Jordan, we love your Island! 😍
That packet of Nasi Lemak should cost you not more than RM2.00 in Penang. Mee goreng at RM5.00 is not that bad.
Hey.. how long was the train ride from kl to ferry.? And I guess there are other options on cabin class?
New friend is here, i bet this channel would be great someday. Have a nice travel at Penang and keep the good work...
Hi Anindita! Thank you so much for your lovely comment :)
@@TrueLoveTravels you are welcome,
nice... normally i take ETS train to Padang besar.. border of malaysia - thailand :)
Penang is the food capital in Malaysia, u can find many hidden gem, u can eat whole day 24 hour. Morning time, local ppl will prefer go kopitiam ( coffeeshop) have breakfast , u can try hand brew hainanese coffee and charcoal roasted kaya benggali bread with half boiled egg. They are perfect match. Besides, u can have noodles e.g prawn noodle (Hokkien Mee), Curry noodle, Wantan mee, Asam laksa, char kuey tiao etc.
Really Samantha... Are you living there?
@@learn_networking1 yeap, i'm Penangite
@@samanthaho6851 OK if I visit penang, will you guide me?
Hi Samantha, thank you for taking the time to comment! We are gutted because we never even tried the coffee and the bread and egg sounds delicious! But we keep note of all the great tips we receive such as this for when we revisit so thank you very much! 🤗🙌
Is there direct train between kl and Penang. Nearest Railway Station is butter worth. Am I correct ?
back in the 90's and early 2000 when internet online flight check in was not a thing.. flight passengers can check in for flight at air terminal sentral stations with any major airlines that time and take the express train non stop 25mins to KLIA and can walk straight to boarding gate once arrived.. nowadays i dont think check in service at kl sentral is available anymore since online check in are more convenient..
Hi Zarith! No way, that's really interesting. That must have been so convenient. Thanks for your comment :)
@@TrueLoveTravels yes.. that explains the air terminal (departure and arrival) they (management) should have removed the air teminal board to avoid confusion.. however trains service express to/from klia still in operating, probably why they kept the air terminal sign..
Nasi lemak is Malaysia national breakfast. It is actually now started to be internationalized
One day I should try too
The RM2 Nasi lemak is if its a stall by the roadside next to a smelly drain and the portion is very small. You will need 3 or 4 packets to satisfy yourself.
They were eating in a restaurant in a major town; hence, I would not call it a rip off. Though for RM5, it would be nice to get a bigger portion and served on a plate. Prices do vary between vendors so its still not that outrageous..
Hi Adam, i think we need to redeem ourselves on our next visit and try some Nasi Lemak's at other places :) thanks for taking the time to comment
that train very good ...it fast than bus...
Hi Kamarul! Defiantly agree, such an easy way to travel to Penang :)
Thank you come to Malaysia 💪💪💪💪
We LOVED it! 🤗🙌
Can we put our luggage in ferry ?
How many hours u guys were on train? I've been riding on the car last week from Kl to georgetown and it took around 5 hours. I think your transport way faster than mine =)
Hi Muhd! Oooo not much difference in it! The train took 4 hours and the boat took around 10 minutes 😁
i thought the big ferry is already discontinued
Penang will have metro line connected from the mainland to the island in the future
No way! That will be handy! We did enjoy the boat ride though it was lovely and calm and nice to see Penang slowly come into view :) Happy New Year Amir
Wah,only to Butterworth lah.
Business class seats better you got VIP lounge for waiting and they provide services just like inside aeroplane with free food and drinks etc free . The ticket prices really reasonable.
KL Sentral is 19 years old station, feel like microwave when you in there.
If you guys continue ride the train for another 1.5hours, you could reached Padang Besar (Malaysia-Thailand border) the most popular shopping & eating spot for northern people 😀
Hi Syak! Thank you for taking the time to comment, we will definitely look into Padang Besar as we love food and we love shopping !! 😁
Hye..I love that idea thank for the tips I will try it next time for my vlog too.
If you don't mind could you please share the details about your airbnb stay like location /URL? Thanks in advance
Hi Chiranjeevi, we didn't stay in the heart of George Town so it meant we had to use transport more. We stayed at Straits Garden Suites which is in the south side of George Town (it's on booking,com) and we loved it there. Quiet and clean.
Goodness, the stairs. Is there an option for lifts rather than carrying your bags down the stairs before the ferry?
Hi KaPowProduction! Yes the stairs were a bit of a pain with my suitcase. We didn't see any lifts but it isn't to say that there weren't any. Do any of our local Malaysian friends know if there is a lift at Butterworth Station? :)
@@TrueLoveTravels Thanks for reply
i be going to penang.. soon hehee
Have a great time Kit! 🙌😁
Come visit Indonesia. I live in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. If you come to my city, I’ll give you a tour for sure
Thanks Rizkita, that's a really lovely offer! 😀 We will certainly be heading to Indonesia in the new year. Not 100% sure what our exact plans are yet, but we'll keep you posted!
Hey guys! Which website did you buy your train tickets? :) Thanks
Hey Theo! We booked through KTMB :)
theres are a lift in a station, why u doesnt use it.. its true that the lift was for disable people, but when u have a heavy luggage, its ok to use the facilities..
Came Fiji dude.. Papua.... 200 year back
We would love to! 😍
Just got back from there. I was at that station...... beautiful country. ....
You're absolutely right! Stunning country, really nice people, and we LOVED our time there! :)
@@TrueLoveTravels try hitting Bali and Surabaya, Indonesia if budget allows. It's cheaper from there.
@@fareedakhtar3059 We are heading that way soon cant wait!! Where is your favorite place you would recommend?
@@TrueLoveTravels sorry for late response. I prefer to stay in Ubud rather than kuta as it appeared cleaner and natural. Surabaya is well know for its food, tobacco factory established during colonial era, and more. My wife and I also went to Bandung which is closer to Jakarta (6 hours or so drive) but it was worth it. My wife is in Cibubur right now that is an hour from Jakarta. I am so happy that you guys are taking a tour of Indonesia. There you can go diving or see open volcanoes or recently discovered nine different species of birds. I am so waiting for your video.
@@fareedakhtar3059 Thanks so much for tips, we can't wait!

nice ray ban subglasses. cool English accents like the shots of on the boat ocean traveling. five ringer looked delicious blow your head off spicy lol and the view from the apartment I enjoyed your adventure I enjoyed your video I comment like and support you
Thanks so much Ant! We really appriciate your support and are glad that you enjoyed the vlog 🙌😁
how long was the trainride?
Hi Dean and Deanbar, it was 4 hours and the boat was like 10/15 minutes!
nasi lemak is a malay dish but you buy nasi lemak from chinese seller... that not authentic nasi lemak... the true nasi lemak is never eaten with tofu... nasi lemak from chinese seller also usually taste more sweet and not very spicy
Hi Kamarul, I really enjoyed the Nasi Lemak it was super spicy! This is good to know for future visits though thanks for your comment :)
It was a Malay restaurant!!!
last time we go there with a bus from KL.... i think you took the route over Butterworth? and then the ferry? Dunno which way is faster or cheaper... bu interesting to see the other route :)
Hi Let's Do This 🤗 yes we go the train and ferry. The train was MYR 158 for both of us, the boat was MYR 2.40 for us both!! 🙃
Hellow guyss,, another travel vlogger love it.. i am your new friend, i do lots of videos about Bali, hope you like it
Hi Senja, great we are heading there at some point so will check your vlogs out 😃
LOL i think that both of you should used to train AC. i think it 16 degree c
Wow that's so cold compared to outside! But we aren't complaining better to be a little chilly than too hot! 🥶🥵😁
Nasi lemak for RM 5. 😮😮😮😮
Hi Irza, yes i totally messed up on that one! We need to come back to Malaysia so i can redeem myself and try some proper Nasi Lemak :)
What is your total time from KL to Penang?
Hi Nick! The train journey was just over 4 hours, and the boat crossing was only 10 mins or so 👍🏻
it's so weird to see the places you past by everyday in a youtuber's vlog..
Hi Jan, we hope you are enjoying the videos! 🤗
7:00 it's Okey
i always skip the lime for mee goreng
mee too LOL
For me, most importantly, is the washroom
Hello. May i know how much is the train tix to butterworth? :)
Hi Darylynne! We paid MYR 79 each, hope that helps :)
TrueLoveTravels thank you! 😊
how much the train ride cost u per person ??
Hey there! It costs us MYR158 in total 👍
@@TrueLoveTravels 79 rm per person ?????
Yes
@@TrueLoveTravels why u did not go by ac bus, it was just for 12 rm ??
Didn’t realise you could get it that cheap! Which company was that through? We enjoyed our train journey nonetheless! 🚆
If i take train from kl sentral.. which station i need to drop off at penang?
You need to take one heading to Butterworth, those heading to Padang Besar will bypass Butterworth because of Bukit Mertajam junction
josephtan1818 thank you for the info 🤗
pls take ets to butterworth...dont take to padang besar!
remote darren..
TRAIN PRICE FROM KUALA LUMPUR TO PENANG
Hi Vicky! The tickets cost MYR158 for both of us in total
@@TrueLoveTravels THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY 😃😄☺️☺️🙂👍
Wish you’d consider losing the background music or dramatically reduce it. I think most people would prefer listening to the real sounds in the train or of the surroundings. The music is annoying. Otherwise thanks for the video.

#1 Tips to travel in Malaysia: bring a local 😁😁
im from malaysia and that nasi lemak for 5 ringgit is way way overpriced!!!
if you back in KL you can go try the "village park nasi lemak"
Hi Edwin, i hold my hands up. I did not choose the right Nasi Lemak! I will just have to come back and redeem myself :) I have added Village Park on our list for when we return to Malaysia, thank you for the information :)
@@TrueLoveTravels the nasi lemak you had is call "nasi lemak bungkus biasa" usually cost around rm1-2 max rm3. "Biasa" mean normal, without any dish like chicken etc.
Very informative video guys. Congrats. We are planning a travel to SE Asia so getting ideas and tips. Will sub the channel for more ideas. Check out our channel also. Cheers
£1? Too expensive....
They must have charged you RM5 because you are a foreigner. So sorry.
Next time have a nasi lemak with price indication.
Hi Yang, yes i didn't pick the best Nasi Lemak :( We definitely need to come back and try some local dishes!
Well planned. Don't take fk taxi
You guys are from UK. A little Pound get converted to Ringgit gives you so much of ringgit money. Our ringgit is nothing for you. Why cant you spend your holiday in more luxury way in malaysia. Rather than using grab, you can use the taxi service supporting the taxi drivers. Rather staying in air bnb you can stay in 5 star hotels. Rather eating in cheap restaurants you can dine in nice and better restaurants or hotels. we malaysians can able to spend more in your country with pounds more than you spend in malaysia with ringgit. Sorry Im just curious. Is UK people so stingy or poor? Pls clarify.
Hi Key, I am sure that there are lots of people that enjoy the luxury hotels and fancy restaraunts but being travellers we have a small budget and travelling to us is about learning and experiencing new cultures and we don't need posh hotels and fancy restaraunts for that 😁
@@TrueLoveTravels I see. Now im clear. Hope you enjoy your stay here.
Just because these tourists are from developed countries and we automatically assumed they are well-off. On a 80/20 rule, only a minority is able or willing to spend exorbitant costs on their holidays while the rest of us common folks prefer to stretch our dollar or ringgit further to enjoy more. Why need to pay for an Evian when one can have our very own version, Spritzer? I feel only by going on a shoestring budget can one truly indulge in an experience which connects to local people and their way of life. There is no way a high-class traveler would want to eat at a roadside stall or take public transport. They would dine in posh restaurants which isn't lacking in their own countries. Why would they need to do the same here? The gist of it all is to immerse oneself into the local culture and perhaps able to take away something, whether good or bad from all these experiences that will serve as a permanent memory. From another Malaysian.
Please don’t be an arsehole. Expecting European tourists to spend as if cash is raining in their continent and us drought of wherewithal is utterly hideous thing to say.
