Looking for Muay Thai, personal training, and swimming lessons in Bukit Bintang, KL

I'll be in the area for a few months and want to find good instructors for each. Any suggestions?

Bukit Bintang's got a decent fitness scene. For Muay Thai, check out the gyms around Jalan Alor – there are several with varying levels of intensity. Swimming's a bit trickier in that specific area; you might have better luck finding a decent gym with a pool slightly outside Bukit Bintang itself, perhaps in KLCC or even a hotel with facilities. As for personal training, your best bet is probably contacting some of the larger gyms in the area directly and inquiring about their personal trainers' availability and specializations. Happy training!

Thanks! Jalan Alor for Muay Thai is a great starting point, I hadn't considered that specific area. Finding a pool is proving harder than I thought. KLCC is a good suggestion, I'll look into gyms there. Appreciate the advice!

UM's Hidden History?

fmd_good University of Malaya

So, I'm heading to the University of Malaya next week for a conference. I've heard whispers about some really cool, old buildings on campus – apparently, there's a ton of history tucked away in place… more

Yeah, UM's got some serious history. Forget the main drag, wander around the older parts of campus – the area near the lake is a good starting point. There are some seriously gorgeous colonial-era buildings tucked away there, some almost forgotten. Look for the old bungalows – some are still used for offices, others are kinda derelict but still fascinating. The architecture itself is a story – the details in the carvings and the overall style tell you a lot about the British influence. Also, try and track down some old photos online before you go; that’ll give you something to look for. You might even find some old maps of the campus showing how it's changed. Good luck with your exploring – let me know what you find!

Wow, thanks! That's way more interesting than I expected. The lake area sounds perfect – I'll definitely start there. Hunting down old photos is a great idea; I hadn't thought of that. Fingers crossed I can find some decent maps too – it'll be like a treasure hunt! I'll let you know how it goes, and if I stumble across anything truly bizarre...or just incredibly beautiful. Appreciate the tips!
