We usually stay in Budget accomadation, so probably not the most flash areas, Our Accom in Kl was near China town and was basically for shopping & sights , it was ok. We flew Airasia,
From the Start we found Kl to be Filthy Dirty ,unfriendy and the shopping expensive in comparison,
eg On arrival we ate at macas inside the air con airport and had to constantly wave the flies off our food, Outside was as if there were no garbage bins,
without going on and on we found the place to be a dump, and a waste of part of our holiday, we bought nothing there (a first for us), only 1 in 10 cabs will use their meter, taxi touts every 20 feet, and tours ridiculuously priced but the worst part was we didnt feel safe there, .
If you want a travel hub, bangkok is by far the best , Even during the flood it was awesome, one of the cleanist cities and amazing sights, We stayed in one of the market areas and strayed into a lot of back alleys and not once felt uneasy
Chaing mai was the friendliest , mega shopping, we had the most fun and market shopping there,
