You see, most of the time I fly with AirAsia and therefore I usually go to LCCT and not KLIA.
This time I flew with Thai Airways so I had to go to KLIA. If you have read my previous post, you would know that I took the KLIA Ekspres from KL Sentral. It was still early when my friend and I reached KLIA so we went to have our breakfast.
We had the usual coffee and toasted bread with butter and kaya. I did not like the way they made the toasted bread but since we would be having meals on the plane, I did not bother about it too much.
After breakfast, we went to check in our luggage and since there was still a lot of time, we walked around the Main Terminal of the airport.
This is near the place where I took pictures of the numerous plane models which I blogged about in a previous post.
We found out that the Aerotrain service which transport passengers from the Main Terminal building to the Satellite building and back, was closed for maintenance and modification work. It would remain closed until March 15 next year.
During this shutdown period, shuttle buses were provided as alternative. We went up a shuttle bus.
We reached the Satellite building in about 10 minutes which was of course slower than the 4 minutes it would have taken us if we were to use the Aerotrain.
We still had a lot of time in our hands so we walked around the Satellite building.
There were many shops in KLIA. One of them is Harrods.
Stepping into Harrods, I saw this!
Yes, it's me Panda!! Haha!! I checked the price tag. Can't remember the exact price now but it is definitely above RM100 which I thought was too expensive! Oh well....
I spotted this restaurant and couldn't help thinking how easy it was to create a name for a restaurant by simply inserting an extra "O" to the word "NOODLES"!
KLIA is known as an airport in the forest. It was in fact designed with the concept of "an airport in the forest" and "forest in the airport".
I have heard that you can visit the forest in KLIA but I never had the chance to do that. So when my friend introduced me to this KLIA Jungle Boardwalk, I was delighted!
I wonder why they use the word "Boardwalk". Kind of reminds me of the Monopoly board game! Haha!
The entrance to the Jungle Boardwalk was quite unique.
Once we got past that, we found ourselves in the jungle, sort of!
Lush greeneries and tall trees surrounded us. And of course, the jungle would be incomplete without a waterfall.
We took some time to enjoy the waterfall and snap some pictures.
This is the view of the entrance we came in earlier from where I stood near the waterfall.
After walking through the jungle, we reached the exit on the other side and walked out. This is the view of the exit from outside the jungle.
Soon it was time to board the plane.
I took a few more pictures as we walked to the departure hall. Below is the Aerotrain tracks currently closed for maintenance.
Would you rather walk or stand on the moving platform?
Having traveled most of the time with budget airline AirAsia, I was looking forward to fly with Thai Airways!
