What makes LUXURY Private day tour: Thailand & Malaysia KL (2 countries) from Singapore a unique experience ?
Begin with an early morning pickup at your Singapore hotel.
3 of our trained staff (1 licensed guide and 2 separate drivers) will meet you at the hotel driveway to check your documents before escorting you through immigration via the drive-through border (no standing-in-line).
After clearing immigration, relax into the leather seats of your private, air-conditioned vehicle to enjoy the 4-hour chauffeured drive to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital.
Use the onboard WIFI if you wish while enjoying a complimentary packed breakfast box.
Upon arrival in Kuala Lumpur, you will first visit the famous Batu Caves on the edges of Kuala Lumpur. The limestone forming Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old. Batu Caves was founded by K. Thamboosamy Pillai, an Indian trader in 1891, as a Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Murugan. A 42.7-metre high gold-painted statue of Lord Murugan was unveiled in January 2006, having taken 3 years to construct. It is the tallest Lord Murugan statue in the world.
20 minutes drive from Batu Caves is the Istana Negara (National Palace). It is the official residence of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the monarch of Malaysia. The palace complex has an area of 97.65 hectares, 22 domes, and is split into three main portions: the Formal Component, Royal Component and Administration Component. Guests may take photos and walk around on foot at the designated public areas.
Next stop after the National Palace is the famous National Monument, locally known as Tugu Negara. It is a historic bronze sculpture that pays tribute to those who died in combat during Malaysia’s battle for freedom against the Japanese occupation during World War II and the Malayan Emergency during 1948 until 1960. It serves as a remembrance of the bravery, courage and unity of the fighters who laid down their lives for Malaysia’s independence. The statue has earned its place in the book of records as the tallest freestanding group of bronze sculptures at 15 meters high.
Located near the Tugu Negara is the Independence Square (Dataran Merdeka). This is the historical place where the Union flag was lowered and the national flag was raised for the very first time at the struck of midnight of 31st August 1957.
From the Independence Square, you will have a vantage view of the Sultan Abdul Samad building, which is among Kuala Lumpur’s earliest Moorish-style buildings. It was built in 1897 and was named after the reigning sultan of Selangor at the time. The distinguished landmark originally served as the offices for the colonial British administration and the superior courts of Malaysia.
From the Independence Square, you will have a vantage view of the Royal Selangor Club. The club was founded in 1884 and originally served as a meeting place for high ranked and educated members of the British colonial society. Selangor is the name of the state in which the capital – Kuala Lumpur is located.
From the Independence Square, you will have a vantage view of Dayabumi Complex. Built in 1984, it was one of the city’s earliest skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur to incorporate principles of Islamic design into its architecture.
Located near the Independence Square is the Petronas Twin Towers (452m tower primarily for offices). The Petronas Twin Towers are currently the world’s tallest twin structures. The 88-storey buildings are joined at the 41st and 42nd floors by a 58m double-deck Sky Bridge.
About 3 hours from Kuala Lumpur, you will arrive at Lenggong Valley – a UNESCO world heritage site.
Named by BBC as Asia’s secret World Heritage site, Lenggong Valley is home to the 11,000-year-old Perak Man, the region’s best-preserved Stone Age skeleton.
It is said that Perak Man’s ancestors had settled in the Lenggong Valley after migrating out of Africa and crossing the Middle East and South Asia on foot for thousands of years.
About 2 hours from Lenggong Valley, you will arrive in Betong – the southern-most district of Thailand.
Be assured that you are in good hands as your guide escorts you through immigration with all the border paperwork settled for you.
The 1st stop in Thailand will be the Piyamit Communist Hideout Tunnels, which were used to hide from airstrikes and store supplies for members of the now-defunct Communist Party of Malaya. It was dug into a hill by 40-50 people, who spent only three months completing the task in 1976.
The tunnel network stretches about 1000 meters, and could accommodate 200 insurgents.
The system, at present, has six entrances, reduced from nine in the past. Inside the tunnels are rooms for radio communications, work stations, storage and sleeping quarters.
Located near the Piyamit Tunnels is a famous 1000-year-old tree.
30 minutes drive from the Piyamit Tunnels, you will find the largest mailbox in Thailand, standing at 9m tall.
The mailbox was originally built in 1924 as a communications centre for locals. It once had a radio with loudspeakers on top of it, along with a slot for mail below it.
Located 5 minutes from the largest mailbox in Thailand is the famous Wat Phuttha Thiwat Temple, which sits atop a small hill with marvelous views of the whole town.
You can find a 40-meter high bronze Buddha statue at this temple. Statues of Buddha can be found all around Thailand which is a predominantly Buddhist country.
