Taiping/Kamunting bus confusion, Taiping stay

If coming to Taiping from Ipoh side, your bus may stop at Taiping (before proceeding to Kamunting), so you have no need to go on till Kamunting. Just be alert and get down at Taiping. However, when leaving Taiping, it's best to take a taxi to Kamunting (15 min ride away), since many buses won't go to Taiping. Maybe the Taiping-Ipoh intercity bus will still go to Taiping, but direct buses to KL or Singapore or any other destinations will not.

Unless you are staying somewhere on the Bukit Laru, do not stay anywhere far from the Taiping lake, otherwise it's not worth staying in Taiping. If you are in Taiping, you need to experience its lake and wilderness at different times of the day.
