Do any of the tall buildings in KL have cafes or restaurants at the top of them, with a good view?
Thanks Kate 😊
Do you know what the prices are like? I mean, are they normal, or tourist prices? Also, is it the type of place that would welcome a child? I will have my 9 year old with me.
Does it cost something, to get to the top of the tower? If so, does anyone know how much?
Reply to this It's 38 RM for the KL tower. Restaurant is very expensive! You have to get to the petronas towers very early in the morning to get a free ticket to go over the sky bridge (not open on Monday or Tuesday can't remember which), but the view from KL tower is way better!
Reply to this Thanks Dani 😊
The KL tower seems like a good place to watch view then. We will just have a drink in the restaurant, since it is so expensive.
Reply to this The revolving restaurant at the top floor of KL Tower is called Seri Angkasa. Yes, I agree that food and drinks are expensive. But there is another restaurant at the Ground Floor where we ordered some food and drinks which are more resonably priced. The entrance fee I paid in May 2008 was MYR20. When I returned to KL Tower last May 2009 with two nieces, the entrance fee costs MYR 38 but I thought it was due to the additional attraction called the "Winter Park". I will be revisiting Kuala Lumpur and the KL Tower this coming May 25, 2010 together with family members and a friend. I wonder if we still have to pay MYR 38 each for the entrance, and if the Winter Park is still there.
Reply to this Thanks for the information, Totoy!

Does anyone know if a family ticket is available, and how much that would cost?
Reply to this Hey Mell,
My wife and I were in KL for our honeymoon and went up both of the towers and I have to say the view from the KL Tower is far more impressive.... But.... The Petronas towers are so iconic it would of been a shame not to at least try and go up them especially as I'd imagine you're going to at least go see them...
We went in 2005, so it may be very different now but there was a limited number of tickets that you queue up for in the morning and then you're given a time slot. We were staying next door at the time in the Mandarin Oriental (£250 a night... it WAS our honeymoon), so it was no big issue for us to pop next door after breakfast for the tickets, if you're staying elsewhere, it might be a bit of a pain.
As for restaurants, there is a huge mall underneath the towers and I imagine there are hundreds of restaurants in there, although I'm sure the 'view' of a load of people shopping leaves a lot to be desired...
Off topic I know but how are you feeling about the Thai situation Mell? If it was just myself I wouldn't hesitate, but with children I'm thinking differently. We've got seven weeks till we go and I'm sure it won't have blown over by then. I have checked and the travel insurance will cover us... but I'm just so undecided... Maybe we should just fly straight into KL.

Reply to this Thanks for the info Mike! Yeah, I will be seeing at least the outside of the Petronas towers, and the restarants in the shopping area sound nice too. I am no fan of long queues and being in places where people keep telling me to get out of the way so they can take a photo, so I doubt that going up to the top of the Petronas would be fun for me.

I am the same, because of my daughter. I dont even like to go someplace by myself if it is troubled, because now that I have a child I want to live forever. Well, I want to be there for her and her children anyway.
If I hadnt bought the tickets already to Bangkok, there is no way I would buy them now. Another person was shot there today.
I dont really like changing the plans either, because changing them might be a waste of time, because it might be someplace else that is troubled before I get to Bangkok. I think what I am going to do, is be prepared to take precautionary measures if there is a lot of trouble on the day we arrive. The domestic airport is nearby and maybe flights to KL go from the international too. If it is really that bad, we will just fly straight there from the Bangkok airport. And, there is the airport bus to Pattaya, which probably doesnt go into Bangkok centre. I am not keen on going to Pattaya, but it would be one way to bypass Bangkok, without taking another flight.
Keep me posted, because you will be there shortly before I am.

Arent congratulations due to you? We are still waiting for the announcement. 😊
Reply to this Hi Mell,
Sorry for the lack of update on the baby front... two children under the age of 18 months has been an adventure to say the least. Our second son Gabriel was born at the beginning of this year, and is getting cuter and more curious about the world every day. Just got his passport this weekend so now he's ready to cross borders (passports for babies a good idea, I think not, that's another discussion though).
I'm thinking exactly the same as yourself. If it's still troubled when the time comes we're just going to jump on the first available flight to Malaysia, or Southern Thailand if it's still unnafected.
Thankfully there's plenty of other destinations in SE Asia just a short hop away.... For the time being we're just going to sit tight and hope (for the sake of Thailand and it's people) that it resolves itself without anymore loss of life.
