Travel: Malaysia - Johor

[babyspike]

Hi, I’m planning a short family vacation at the UK Agro resort, but I’m reluctant to do a self-drive. May I know if there’s any coach or mini-van transport from Singapore (preferably from Boon Lay) that reach the resort? It seems that the last 15km of drive is on dirt-track.

any idea if we can self drive to the farm itself?


no point taking bus there… a one day trip would be great

I've yet to go to UK Farm Resort itself although I pass by the main entrance a few times.


If you drive to Malaysia, just exit at Air Hitam. It is on the way to Kluang town itself. Nearby there, you can also visit Zenxin organic farm and Dragon Fruit Farm :rahrah:

sounds good… cos if just a farm to visit, not worth the trip going up…


maybe can organise a one day trip? lol

Opposite direction of Kluang is Batu Pahat.
Got seaside w fresh seafood on sale, some famous Chinese temples, seafood restaurants, bata outlet shop etc.
Enjoy!

Any suggestions on where to do shopping in Johor? Have been to Tebrau City. Quite a nice place to shop actually. Also been to City Square in JB but it is now having renovation. Anyone been to Bukit Indah? How is it compared to the others?


Now that the exchange rate is quite ok…
