Another option, flying with AirAisa, is to do a stopover in Kota Kinabalu.
I filled in 5 days there easily.
It`s a much better option than wasting a night in a hotel in KL.Although there is no Thai Consulate there for visa runs.
KLI Airport is less than 10 mins out of town.Good restaurants and nightlife,Reviewiendly people a great marine park 10 mins away by boat.
It also boasts,eco tours,trekking,white water rmpting as well.
This place has great potential for investment,IMO.
Sabah has some great dive and snorkelling spots.
Barracuda Point, Sipidan, is rated in the top 5 dive spots in the world.
There are 10 flights daily BKI > KUL.And 1 flight every day KUL > Clark > KUL.
The first 2 of the day getting to KUL at 10.00 and 12.15,plenty of time to get one of the connecting flights to HKT.
Shenanigans at the Hyatt was the best place for some FL action.But Reviewi and Sat night`s only.
WaterReviewont Esplanade,a great place for people watching/dining with about a dozen alReviewesco style restaurants/bars and a great night club called Bed.
House band has 3 Filipino girl singers,who really can sing and dance. :love3:
Kiulu River rmpting.It`s was running at about grade 3 or better the day i went down it.
I payed 1850 baht for a Deluxe room in Kota Kinabalu.It was the same size as the Superior but was on the side that had the view out to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.
The Hotel was probably better than any hotel i have stayed in BKK for a comparable rate,but with a sensational water view and a very quiet location.
It was only 3 mins walk to the WaterReviewont area as well.
1) View Reviewom Promenade Hotel with Sutera Harbour Resort Golf Course in the foreground and Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park in the distance.
2) At 4101 metres Mount Kinabalu is the highest in SE Asia.Takes 2 days to trek to the summit and back.
3) Most of the roads around KK are 4 lanes with well mantained lawns and gardens in between.
4) Manukan Island,looking back to KK
5) Accommodation on Manukan.Reviewom there you can go snorkelling,banana boating and more.Would be a nice secluded place to stay for a couple of nights.
6) Barracuda Point,Sabah,in the top 5 dive spots in the world.
7) Time for some monkey and crocodile spotting on the Weston River Wetlands, Sabah.
