Hi Minssy...sorry... no offence ok?

 

[minssy]

hi cute koala,

ahhaha! no worries lah.. cos i did not think of the malacca town as in the town area (the entrance area). i was thinking the town as in the area near jonker street

Hi all,

Can anyone advise how to drive from Spore to Malacca? We'll be taking the causeway link. Anyone can give driving directions from JB to Malacca, best if can advise how to drive to Equatorial hotel as we'll be staying there?

Many thanks.

Hi angelsaints,

It's pretty easy to go to malacca.

From causeway link, there will be signs for u to go up to the highway to get to Malacca.
Just exit at Bandsar Melaka

Once exit, u will see the toll... just follow the signs that state "Pasat Bandaraya" (which means CITY)....
And then, u just follow the signs that state "Bandar Hilur" (pardon my spelling... hehe..)... Or u can follow the signs that state "Carrefour" coz Hotel Equatorial is just next to the newly built Carrefour.

Watch out for the basement parking at the shopping mall next to Hotel Equatorial though. Our car was kenna 'robbed' when we parked our car there.

happythomson - u mean in JB not malacca rite? am just concern cos we had similar incident in JB 2 months back. Our front passenger seat window was broken while we were just few meters away in a coffeeshop. That’s why am a bit worried cos our car will be parked near jonker's walk overnight

 

[nikeme]

thanks for sharing

Hi Lyn,

When are you going malacca?

I am making my first self drive trip over there next weekend. Will share my experience when I am back

Hello all,

I just came back from Malacca.

I would like to recommend Baba House Hotel in Malacca. Great value and location.Every cent worth

Hi

Melakka is a really nice place. It has a quite a lot of old historical buildings, and is really a charming place. Its a mixure of China (old chinese houses), venice (some kanals), indian food stalls, portoguese colonial buildings, malay moslem architechture and food. Its quite touristy but well worth it.

Otherwise I would suggest going to Pulau Tioman. You can fly there from Singapore or get on a "fast boat". A beautiful island for swimming, snorkelling, diving....

 

[yahyaawal]

hi,i suggest u go to pulau redang better if u want to go pulau tioman,because pulau redang sea is clean n clear than pulau tioman

 

[people1234]

ya,Pulau Redang is more better than Pulau Tioman

Dear all,
I am planning a trip to the Afamosa Resort with my families, we have abt 11pax but not enough car cos only 1 driver. Any idea how to arrange tpt to the resort from Singapore? Any recommendation or lobang?

 

[adelene]

Dear all,

Do you have various coach departure timing? I am planning a trip to Malacca, but I need to leave the town before noon. Most of the coach departs Melaka at 1300 or 1430.
But we need to arrive in S'pore at 1530/1630 (latest time).
Any suggestion cos we are not driving up to Malacca?

PM me

You can try taking SIN-Malacca-SIN express bus or Delima bus from Lavender road. They have hourly buses starting from 8am.
