 On the Litrak Highway by Wild_Orchid
Malaysian Highways and Expressways are well maintained and in good conditions~thanks to PLUS, LITRAK and a number of other private highway concessionaires who own the right to charge road users a toll.
The PLUS Highway (also called the North-South Highway) takes you from Penang in the North, through Kuala Lumpur in the middle all the way to Johor in the South of Peninsular Malaysia.
The East-Coast expressway has also recently come up and now you can drive all the way from KL to Kuantan in 2-3 hours.
There are different toll pricing for different expressways and convenient stops along the way. The highways and expressways have made domestic tourism a weekend past-time among locals and tourists alike.
Note: Speeding is dangerous and the speed limit on highways and expressways range from 90 km/h to 110 km/h. On certain stretches of trunk roads (which link the smaller towns and villages), the speed limit is set at 60 km/h.
Despite the somewhat poor or misleading road signages, it isn't that difficult to get around. Afterall, isn't getting lost half the fun? Keep a map handy for emergencies. Leave a Comment

 Beautiful Langkawi by kenyneo
by air
- direct flight by ( click here )
AIR ASIA no frill and reliable airline (make sure you check the webpage and if you book very much in advance you will get dirt chepa tickets ) and
Malaysian Airlines
by bus & ferry thru Kedah or Perlis
1.Kuala Kedah.
You need to get a bus from KL to Kuala Kedah( RM20-25)The ferry takes about 1 hour 15 min from the jetty to Langkawi.
2. Kuala Perlis
As it is nearer to Langkawi, the trip will take you only about 40 minutes. The problem is that you will have to get a transport to go all the way to Perlis, which is about 7 hrs drive from KL.
There is a train from KL namely, Langkawi Ekspres. You can drop at Alor Setar station and get a taxi to Kuala Kedah. The fare to Kuala Kedah should not be more than RM20. Check the price first before you board.And the train takes you longer.
by bus & ferry thru Penang
Take a bus from either Plusliner Station ( see my bus tips above ) or from Puduraya ( cost about RM 20-25 ) to Penang about 4-5hours. You can stay in the beautiful heritage trove before heading to Langkawi ( get a taxi from town to Esplanade is less than ) else get a bus from Komtar.
The counter for ferry is situated near the Clocktower in Esplanade ! The ticket price is RM35 per trip, depart from Penang at 08:30, only one trip per day and the trip is about 2 hours very comfortable ferry ride. Here are the contact no. for the ferry ticketing Phone:04-262 5630/262 5631 Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Malaysia's first no-frills budget airline !! YEAH !!!!! Lovely lovely lovely .. can whizz about around Malaysia for a pretty decent price.
Pricing works as in other budget flights in Europe ie Easyjet & Ryanair, the earlier you book your flight, the cheaper it is. Sometimes it can get really ridiculous .. RM20 per one way flight from KL to Penang !! Howver, bear in mind that there are other charges that go long with that.
But overall, its a cheaper way to fly !! Leave a Comment

 Bikes Galore ! by gnh
But be warned, the drivers here are not too careful, and the bike is very exposed to accidents.
Use it only in the rural areas where traffic is less. Leave a Comment Theme: Motorcycle
