West Malaysia loop ride

The WMLR has always had some kind of route planning done before the ride itself. I did not pre-book any accommodation or destination activities in the 2010 edition but in the years to follow I had always planned the route, booked the accommodation and any interesting destination activities before the ride. This is especially important to avoid disappointment, delays or setbacks especially with rides comprising of four riders or more as accommodation and activities can have limited availability.

This was a little different for the WMLR2024 because there were just the two of us, Tony and myself, and we decide to keep things flexible and loose to maximise the sense of adventure. Here is a view of the route that we ended up taking and some of the places that we were at along the way. I hope this will be interesting and useful for you as you embark on your own West Malaysian adventure!

Here are the hotels we stayed at while on this ride:

• Taiping – Knight Alley Hotel
• Bukit Mertajam – Be Right Back Loft
• Raub – Hotel Super OYO 635 Seven Days Hotel
• Tampin – Hotel Seri Intan
• Batu Pahat – Hotel Super OYO 44036 Hotel De Perdana Hill

While the links I have provided are from Agoda, be sure to check with other booking sites to see if you can better rates and availability. We also found that we got different rates between us for the same booking site so if you want the best rates you do have to do some parallel checking. Having said that, the difference would usually amount to about S$5-10 per stay and your mileage may vary.

Ok folks. I hope you will have the opportunity to visit some of these places and if you do please let me know!
