Either rent your own a car or join a tour group that will be easiest to get to Kundasang.

will be updating my blog soon

but otherwise for tourist food you won't go wrong at gaya street

Lady bon bon's cheesecakes are also very gooding. At Lintas square.

town area near gaya street no problem. but for Tanjung Aru side maybe need to wait 10-15 minutes.

grab/uber is very convenient

can drink milk from kundasang farm everyday

Just stay on the mainland..lots of budget hotels..

If you don't mind hostels I highly recommend Faloe Hostel..just next to IMAGO

My Celcom line had 4G at certain parts of Kudat

I drove to Kudat with a Proton Exora and to Kundasang with a Mazda 3. No issue. A powerful car will definitely be more helpful in overtaking especially kundasang areas. lots of lorries and snail moving cars.

Around IMAGO got a few decent ones. KK times square etc.

You referring to the ori Shangrilla or copy cat one

weather is pretty much unpredicatable nowadays

would recommend you go to kundasang instead of island hopping. not much fishes to see anyway.

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Domestic Golden Lounge, Kota Kinabalu International Airport

Recently I was flying from Kuching to Labuan and had to transit for a few hours at Kota Kinabalu. The price difference for the Economy Class and Business Class ticket for my BKI-LBU flight on MAS Wings was only RM 20 at the time of my booking so I immediately booked the Business Class ticket without much hesitation.

If you have taken MAS Wings you would know that there is almost no difference between Economy and Business Class on board the plane. However, by buying Business class does give you a free access to the Malaysia Airlines Domestic Golden Lounge, which costs way more than RM 20 if you used Enrich Miles for an entry.

The lounge is located at the far end of the Kota Kinabalu Airport. Since this is actually my first time entering an airport lounge, it looks pretty decent as a whole. Food and drinks selection wise was limited but sufficient for a domestic lounge offering. No alcoholic drinks though. I particularly liked the roasted chicken wings which was marinated well.

A minor complaint would be the electrical outlet ports seem to be located pretty far from the table. So if your cable is short, you may struggle to charge your appliances.

There is also a shower section in the lounge toilet for guests to freshen themselves up. Towels and toiletries are actually provided. Slightly impressed with this.

Overall this lounge is nice if you are flying Business class, but definitely not worth it if you have to use Enrich Miles to redeem a free entry.

depends on what kind of holiday you are looking for.

beach wise KK & labuan.
full of things to do: KK
food: kuching & kk
nature: kuching & KK. but KK more assesible for Kundasang.

Labuan gooding. are u muslim or non-muslim?

ooo when u going? see if i'm around can bring you around. can go chimney there got a short hike down to a beach very gooding.

Poring have the rainforest canopy walk. same area. don't miss that. easily 2 hours here. if you are lucky on the way some places can spot rafflesia too.

you really shouldn't rush kundasang and ranau la. if not you are missing the point of visiting such a place which to relax and chill and soak in the scenery. there's also an interesting rabbit farm which you should drop by.

Your ferry reach menumbok at 8am or leave labuan at 8 am? if reach menumbok at 11am to drive to KK is 2.5 hours and to Kundasang is another 2.5 hours assuming smooth traffic.

oh u are taking the passenger ferry not car ferry. my bad ok no issue then haha

but no, they are of seperate tickets. if you use the public pool in poring you don't even need tickets can just jump in.
