Travel by Train to Cameron Highlands then by Bus or Taxi
I sent this question to Kang Tours and Travel \"In Feb/Mar 2013 I intend to come from Singapore by train which reaches Ipoh about 6pm. I\'d like to stay in Cameron Highlands that night, do one of your full day tours and get back to Ipoh that evening to catch the overnight train to Thailand. Does that sound possible and what costs are involve?\"
I didn\'t get a reply, can you help? Thanks.

Dear John
If I read right, your planned schedule is:
6pm arrive ipoh train station and try to find a taxi
8pm arrive Cameron Highlands after a 2 hours drive arriving at night
go for night tour say for 1 hour ( I don't know who would entertain you, probably the same taxi that you took from Ipoh could drive you around and one hour at night won't get you to see anything probably just stuck in Tanah Rata or other town Brinchang, for 1/2 hours each because everything else is pitch black at night...)
9pm depart for the dangerous 2 hours drive back to Ipoh
11pm arrive back at train station and catch the midnight train
All done in just one night!
I think your plan is ridiculous!
Cheers!

Dear Jan
Thanks for replying.
Yes, I agree that plan would be ridiculous. No, my plan is: after arriving about 6pm in Ipoh taxi (or bus if available?) to hotel/lodge in Cameron Highland, stay there that night, take a day tour the next day ending late afternoon/early evening (as I think the Kang Tours do) then go back to Ipoh for the train.
A bit short, perhaps, but a whole day of daylight for the tour not the black of evening and all the time I have available.
Cheers,
John

Dear John,
Ah! Now it make sense!
Because your time is short and arriving in the evening, catching a taxi to Cameron Highlands would be the better option but would be costlier (no idea of the price but would be at least RM100 and above)
Hotels price range between RM80 to RM200, but go for higher price for more comfort, somewhere around RM150 at Century Pines would be good.
Then after tour, you could check whether Kang Travel and Tours has any mini-van services for the evening to Ipoh. Or you could check the bus station for its inaccurate bus schedule. If you want to avoid missing the train ride, best to go for Kang's mini van service (if any available to Ipoh) or worse come to worse, taxi service.
Cheers!

Dear Jan
Once again thanks for all the info, the taxis seem a bit expensive and I was wondering if Kang Tours or someone else could do me a complete package with pick-up at Ipoh, transfer to Cameron Highlands, accommodation that night, a tour the next day and then transfer back to Ipoh.
I mention Kang Tours because they do seem to have accommodation, do day tours and you mention the possibility of a mini-van service. Also I noticed you maintain their web site and I was wondering if you could check if the query I sent through the site ever reached them. I did have some difficulty as the initial page reported a fault when I submitted the form but then I seemed to be taken to another web form (it looked entirely different) which did seem to accept my query. But they never answered so did they ever get my enquiry? Could you ask, please.
Thanks again for your help,
John.

Dear John
I'm no longer maintaining their website. Looks like the other person not doing a good job on mail redirection despite being a better web designer than me.
You may email them directly at:
kangtravellershotel@hotmail.com

Due to they receive many inquiries and a family run business, you may want to call them for immediate response to your query, their staff may be able to assist your queries.

Yes, they have a mini van service but they need to fill it up with passengers in order to run it efficiently. Ipoh does not have high tourist volume. Perhaps your best bet would be to get your mini van pickup from Kuala Lumpur instead (if you are coming up from the south). Then you can check for their north schedule and have them drop you off to Ipoh if convenient, if not you may need to drop off in Butterworth if they are ok with it or you may have to end up in Georgetown as most majority of tourist would go there.
And yes, they have room and rather budget, but for a good night's sleep I would still suggest a nicely furnished hotel. After all it is just for one night. Being on travel sometimes there are expenses that should be spent and not try to save.
And yes, taxi are expensive, so if you want to save on transport, the above idea would match with each other. Buses are best considered last due to not running on time, breakdowns, and dangerous (especially night service, and the regular news report of bus crashes happens mostly at night). The last point already make me shudder.
Cheers!

Dear Putri,
Di sana ada banyak kedai pelancongan, mereka ada tour package you boleh pakai untuk pergi ke tempat menarik. Jika nak sendiri jalan-jalan, ada teksi. Jika peringatan saya betul, teksi fare lebih-kurang RM25 satu jam. Lebih baik pakai kedai pelancongan kerana boleh pergi lebih banyak tempat dengan kos yang kurang.
Anda boleh cuba di Tanah Rata:
1) Cameron Secret 05-491 2484 (Jalan ke Heritage Hotel, rumah barracks)
2) Kang Tours and Travel 05-491 5828 (sebelah Pos Office)
3) CS Travel
Harga mereka lebih-kurang sama-sama. Pakai tour pun boleh duduk Land Rover (jika pergi jungle hiking), action sikit-lah!

Bus Coach to Tanah Rata Booking Questions
Hi, I'm planning for trip from Ipoh to Cameron in Dec and have these questions about taking coach to Tanah Rata -
1) Should I book coach now or is it safe to book 2 days before departure?
2) Are there any internet booking for Unititi and Kinta Omnibus? (I can't seem to find any) Which is the better one to take?
3) Do the buses leave on time?
4) How long is the journey by coach going by the new highway? I've read that it is 3 and half, but some says it is only one and a half by car..
Would be great if you could help! Thanks in advance!

Dear Artsy,
Will try to answer some of your questions, though I don't know all of them
1) Holiday season is coming so might be better to book in advance to ensure available seat. Or take your chances on that day. Up to you.
2) Don't know of any internet booking for bus/coaches. Besides they are all not that IT savvy.
3) Depends on the bus company. Most are on time except one company, I think it is the Regal bus company that plies the Tapah - CH - Simpang Pulai route. This one always got bus breakdown and bus delays.
You could also try the minivan service from Kang Tours and Travel. Cost a bit more but more reliable.
4) Do note bus / coach take longer time to travel with stops and slower speed limit (though some do break the law). The maximum bus speed allowed on highway is 90kph but I have been overtaken by buses at 110kph (speed limit of highway). So if you were me, I don't feel safe taking buses. So avoid night buses, many accidents occurs at night when bus driver is sleepy and night driving is also has poorer visibility.
Time taken by car (without speeding and getting a speeding ticket)
KL to Tapah = 1.5 hours.
Tapah to Tanah Rata = 1.5 hours.
Tapah to Simpang Pulai = 20 minutes
Simpang Pulai to Tanah Rata = 1.5 hours.
So perhaps you could add another 1/2 to 1 hour to the total time for above time for buses (not each leg, just the total)
Cheers!

Dear Fatima Hafid,
You can try to charter a taxi, in your case two taxis to take you directly from the mainland jeti to Cameron Highlands. If they are not willing to make the trip, you can try to book with Kang Tours and Travel minivan service:
http://www.cameron-highland-destination.com/kang-tours-and-travel.html
If they also do not stop by at the jeti, you may have to make your way to Ipoh and from there either charter taxis or book Kang's minivan service or take bus coaches to Cameron Highlands.
Cheers!

Backpackers Day Trip Tour to Brinchang
I need your help to suggest me about how to buy day trip or tour to Brinchang. I will go to Cameron Highland in April and stay in Tanah Rata for 2 nights but it'd be great if we can set up our travel plan to fully utilize our short vacation.
Thanks in advance for your advice & thanks for useful info in your link.

Dear Boebie Brown,
There is no day trip package to Brinchang. Just use a taxi to get there.

Thank you Jan.. However, we are budget backpackers so we would like to know how much we will pay for it or any public transportation provided.
Boebie
8/3/2011
Dear Brown,
It is possible to walk from Tanah Rata to Brinchang, how long it takes I have no idea as I usually drive. Driving takes about 5 minutes, so it might take about 30 minutes by walking (just a guess). Taxi cost RM25 per hour, can take up to 4 passengers (1 front, 3 rear) if you are plus size then only 2 rear or you can try to squeeze in! Or you can use the public bus but walking might get you there sooner than public bus!
Backpackers... so very likely you will be staying at Kang Travelodge, Father's Guesthouse, Cameronian Inn, Twinpines or 8 Mentigi. Check with them about tour packages with cheapest starting from RM60.
Cheers!
