    You could come to Kuala Lumpur by bus from S'pore($8) and
    then to Penang($3).Get back if you want more details.Will be
    in Kual Lumpur till September.

    I'm planning a rather short trip to Thailand this summer and
    I was wondering whether anyone could give me some tips about
    places I should see. Is there a nice beach resort not too
    far away from Bangkok? And how do I have to expect the
    weather to be like? Thanks a lot for your answers.

    I thought the fares for express buses from S'pore to KL is
    around SGD$25-30

    You're idea of summer will probably be the rainy season in
    Thailand. No, it doesn't rain all the time, but it can cloud
    up quickly when you least expect it. On the other hand, it
    does cool things down a lot.
    Not far SE of Bangkok is Pattaya, a highly developed tourist
    beach resort. It's all right, unless you're looking for some
    place out of the way. Hua Hin on the west coast is a better
    choice if you want to get away from other tourists. Be sure
    to visit the old capital at Ayutthaya, not far north of
    Bangkok. It was a city bigger than London, according to
    European travellers in the 17th century. But the Burmese
    sacked and burnt it in 1767. Lots of great ruins to explore.
    You also might want to take a short trip to Kanchanaburi,
    west of Bangkok. It's where the notorious Bridge over the
    River Kwai (actually River Kwae) was and is the site of a
    huge cemetery full of Allied POWs who died in Japanese
    hands. On a happier note, there are beautiful caves in the
    area and scads of gem mines (blue sapphires mostly). That
    should keep you busy for a short visit. (You might enjoy the
    "Ancient City," a private park featuring replicas of famous
    buildings across Thailand. Many Thai historical films are
    shot there.) Enjoy yourself.



  7. go to Johore Added by: jen (geo7jd@leeds.ac.uk)

    it is cheaper to cross from singapore into Johor
    Bharu in Malaysia by either bus or on foot, and then
    catching a bus up to Penang. Buses from S'pore to Malaysia
    cost about 50% more than from Malaysia.

    The cheapest way to penang is by taking a plane from johor,
    the cost is around sin$73 & the airline is malaysia AL.
    If u are from sing. u can get your ticket though mas office
    at singapore shopping centre beside park mall. They will
    also provide tranfer services from sing to johore airport
    at a additional cost of sin$12............enjoy!
