For those looking to uncover the rich, scenic tapestry of Malaysia in a way that’s both comfortable and immersive, there’s a special promotion on the horizon that’s worth getting excited about. KTM Berhad is launching the Railway to See Malaysia (RTSM): Pantai Timur Edition, and it’s not just another train ride — it’s a meaningful travel experience that connects people, landscapes, and culture in one unforgettable journey.
With ticket prices starting at only RM80 for a one-way trip, this isn’t simply a mode of transport — it’s an invitation to see a side of Malaysia that’s often missed when travelling by car or air. Starting from 18 July 2025 at 10.00am, this special train journey will be open for booking via the KTMB Mobile App (KITS Style), online through this booking link, or at any KTMB KIOSK across the country.
A Journey That Captures the Essence of Malaysia
This Pantai Timur Edition is part of KTM Berhad’s broader RTSM campaign, designed not just to take passengers from Point A to Point B, but to offer them a genuine experience of Malaysia’s East Coast beauty — rich in heritage, culture, and landscapes that photos alone could never capture.
Picture this: miles of paddy fields under the glow of the afternoon sun, sleepy kampung homes nestled among banana trees, and winding rivers that weave through valleys. It’s an authentic portrait of rural Malaysia that so many have forgotten. This train journey will take passengers across some of the most untouched and picturesque parts of the country, making it perfect for families, photography enthusiasts, nature lovers, and travellers looking to slow down and reconnect with the soul of the land.
Why Is This Deal Worth It?
Let’s start with the most obvious reason — affordability. At just RM80 per one-way ticket, this journey is far more cost-effective than many alternatives, especially considering how much ground it covers and the comfort it provides. In today’s climate of high travel costs, finding a deal that combines affordability, comfort, and value-added experience is rare.
Secondly, train travel offers something unique — time. Time to sit back and reflect. Time to take in the beauty around. Time to reconnect with travel companions. Whether passengers are travelling with friends, partners, or family, this journey invites them to bond over shared moments and discover the joy of slow travel.
Unlike flying, where travellers miss everything between take-off and landing, or driving, which requires constant attention to the road, this train ride allows them to simply be present. They can enjoy local snacks from on-board vendors, play card games with family, or simply gaze out of the wide windows to catch panoramic views of paddy fields, coconut plantations, rivers, and rustic kampungs.
A Family-Friendly Getaway
Travelling with kids? This could be the perfect short getaway that doesn’t require exhausting planning or overspending. Children get to experience the wonder of train travel – the clack of the tracks, the whistle of the engine, and the thrill of watching the world pass by from the window. Parents can use this as a great opportunity to teach them about Malaysia’s geography, rural lifestyles, or even spark an interest in photography or storytelling.
Couples can also use this opportunity for a meaningful, romantic escape from their routines. The gentle motion of the train, the scenic views, and the novelty of rail travel all combine to create a shared experience that will linger in memory long after the trip ends.
Ideal for Local Explorers and Tourists
Whether someone is a Malaysian rediscovering their homeland or a visitor seeking an authentic local adventure, the Pantai Timur Edition delivers. It’s particularly appealing for those who might not have explored the East Coast before — areas like Kelantan, Terengganu, or Pahang are rich in tradition and natural beauty, often underrepresented in mainstream tourism packages.
By travelling with KTM Berhad, not only are passengers reducing their environmental footprint compared to flying or driving solo, but they are also supporting local transport infrastructure and communities. This kind of responsible travel is increasingly valued by conscientious travellers.
