It is impossible to deny that Asia is one of the world’s most amazing continents.
That is why even the most experienced travelers come back over and over again, immerse themselves in the magnetizing culture and surrender to cheap street food that simply cannot be replicated at home.
Now, travelers get the chance to double in a few of the most fascinating cities in Asia, because it has been confirmed that this dynamic duo will be connected again immediately, instead of having those annoying stops where we all forward.
Although Tokyo was just unveiled (to no surprise) as the most sought after summer destination in Asia, this does not mean that we sleep on Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, right?
Certainly not.
If perhaps the most exciting train route in Asia this year, these 2 incredibly affordable and culturally enchanting metropolises will be easily accessible by the end of the year with Time -out announcement That both Malaysia Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) and the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) work together to bring this dream route back to reality.
What we know about the new Kuala Lumpur – Bangkok Railway route
If you are looking for ticket prices, you will guess because neither side of the tracks has issued promotional rates.
But if we made our best gamble, you won’t break the couch with a comfortable chair.
We even have free trains (yes, free) and cup-of-coffee rates that depart from Bangkok, so we have no reason to suspect anything else, except for the fact that you exceed international boundaries.
Since both destinations are digital nomad ports with affordable prices, it is safe to assume that bargain bin rates are included as soon as tickets are released.
But again, my Nana once told me those who assume that they make a “from” you “and” I “, so the time will tell …
Time-out, the real experts of this (Sorry, Nana), revealed rumors about expanding the line of Su-Ngai Kolok on the Thai side by connecting a few Malaysian destinations, Rantau Panjang and Pasir Mas.
The potential snag is that the current tracks are far beyond their Prime, and a big question mark is whether a overhaul is too big a project for a quick change.
The most striking thing is that without an exact blue-ribbond date, the 2 countries have been given 3 months to sort things out, but it is promised to flourish at the end of 2025.
Why visit Kuala Lumpur?
If you put aside the icons of Tokyo, Hong Kong and Bali, you may be surprised to hear that Kuala Lumpur is actually one of the fastest growing cities in Asia.
Rise from the shadow of his Ritzy Buurman (Singapore), this safe, diverse, and English speaking Nation is finally appearing and as more people discover his miracles, it is certain to continue his prominent Ascension.
You will be impressed by the skyline of Malaysia if you are with the world -famous airport of Singapore, except that you don’t have to sell a kidney on Craigslist here to spend on luxury.
There are dozens of luxury hotels at incredible prices within the towering cityscape. Don’t believe me?
For sample size you can book 4-star Perdana Kuala Lumpur City Center for $ 42 on Agoda This summer.
Because you save Bootloads money here, you have more options for enjoying popular attractions such as the Bucket list-worthy Batu caves.
Why visit Bangkok?
The lively capital of Thailand never stops surprising all types of travelers. The city is perhaps a bit rough on the edges (ie The hangover part II) But it is really one of the world’s most wonderful cities with amazing temples, buzzing night markets, river sellers and some of the best kitchen that your taste buds could ever experience.
Although the nightlife scene is subjective with a mix of brushes for the whole night for the world’s strangest ping-pong games, there is never a boring moment, regardless of the time of the day.
In contrast to Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok is not largely fluent English, but there is plenty of an expansion and noticeable tourists to ensure that you do not notice a crowd.
Just like Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok is remarkably cultural and affordable. When I visited, I preferred a high -rise of $ 25, but you can also easily score chic hotels here.
For example 4-star Mercure Bangkok Makkasan is only $ 49 this summer when Book directly Through the hotel.
