Things to do in Kulai, Johor

We’re halfway through the year, which is exactly around the time that most of us start to feel the burnout from work and school set in. TLDR; we’re craving a relaxing weekend getaway, but places like Bali and Phuket are a little too far for a short trip, and we’ve already explored JB to death.

If you’re facing the same dilemma as us, here’s an alternative getaway idea for you. Instead of visiting JB for the thousandth time, try out this 2D1N Kulai itinerary instead. This lesser-known town is just 45 minutes away from JB, and it’s got a bunch of relaxing activities to help you unwind.

– Day 1 –

6.45am – Leave Singapore

6.45am may seem a little too early to set off for Johor, but it’s necessary if you plan on getting to Kulai by train, and want to max out your time there.

For context, taking the KTM train to Kulai from JB is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to get there, as it costs just RM11 (~S$3.35)/pax, and has a travelling time of under an hour.
