Ipoh – Short Stop-over with Street Art.

Old Ipoh Housing

This blog will be a rather short one. Since we only had a short one night stop-over in Ipoh, the hotel we stayed in will be described shortly. The main aim of this post is a summary of the street art you can find in Ipoh.

Transport

After a short bus ride starting at Kuala Terla (Cameron Highlands) and using a standard bus service (Cameron Highlands to Georgtown). We arrived at Pusat Kerjaya Amanjaya, the main bus terminal of Ipoh. After organizing a Grab (https://www.grab.com/my/), using their very own App, and a short 20 minute ride we arrived at French Hotel Ipoh.

On the next day we left Ipoh and headed towards Kuala Lumpur, we used the early morning train from Ipoh Station (Stesen KTM) operated bei KTM Malaysia (https://www.ktmb.com.my/) which takes approx. 3 hours and arrives at KL Sentral .

Accommondation:

French Hotel Ipoh: The French Hotel Ipoh (http://www.frenchhotel.com.my/) is located just across the river of the old town, which means a 15 minutes walk. The rooms are spacious, modern in style, the bedding is comfy and cleaness is Malaysian standard (e.g. Malaysian standard does never mean dirty, but not as clean as one is used to from European hotels).

The fire alarm is super sensitive and rang at 2:30am in the morning. The management and reception could not detect any issue. Nevertheless the sensitivity is very calming.

Street Art Gallery:

A short stop over in a town like Ipoh can be full of joy and very interesting sites. The street art community in SEA is growing and growing and thanks to the style of the city centers, a really special atmosphere and style of street arts can be created.

So long,
