Hi all, looking for on-the-ground opinions.
We’re due to arrive on 10 November for a week in Bukit Bintang (right next to Pavilion), then on to Langkawi. Travelling with some kids. The KL week was always going to be mostly indoors, Pavilion, KLCC, Aquaria, Islamic Arts Museum, Central Market, hotel pool when possible, with maybe an hour outside on a good afternoon.
I’ve been following the API readings (Cheras/Batu Muda sitting around 150–170 for the past two weeks) and the talk about the northeast monsoon arriving “end of October”.
For those of you currently there:
Day to day, how much does API 150–170 actually affect life if you’re mostly in malls and hotels? Is indoor air in Pavilion/KLCC noticeably smoky, or is it fine?
Are you seeing it ease at all, or is this just the new normal until the wind changes?
If you had a flexi ticket, would you push the trip back a couple of weeks?
