This tourist destination is a commercial district that is home to a slew of malls and retail stores where you can indulge and splurge without breaking the bank. So if you’re planning to visit the town, here are some tips to remember to make your escapade more of a fun activity rather than a catastrophe.
1. Know the place
Petaling Jaya has always been regarded as one of the country’s most vital commercial areas. It is home to an array of shopping malls and retail centers where urban travelers usually flock. Today, this bustling hub houses some of the major shopping malls in Malaysia. Among these are:
The Curve Mall – presents a quaint weekly flea market where you can buy cheap and upscale fashion finds, antiques, collectibles, art pieces, and souvenirs

2. Play it safe
Go on a weekday to avoid long lines at the cashier. Avoid wearing fancy jewelry or expensive accessories. Don’t be a target of thieves or pickpockets. You should also dress appropriately. Your most comfortable footwear and light shirts will save you from a stressful day.
3. Keep the discipline
Set a limit to the amount of money you’ll be spending. Create a shopping list and be faithful to it. To save more money, you can also bring reusable bags to carry your purchases. By doing this, you also support the move to save the planet from degradation.
4. Be wise
If your trip will take place on a regular holiday, you have to be extra smart when it comes to scouting for lower prices. Most of the time, there are bazaars around the city where you can ask for a lower price or even meet halfway with the seller. Also, remember to keep your receipts. Broken items, duplicate gifts, and wrong sizes, are unavoidable when shopping. Customers have the right to return or have these items replaced from the shopping center it was purchased. And that is possible by presenting the receipt of your purchase. Some stores also offer rebates when you present those little pieces of paper. So don’t throw them away; you’ll never know when you’re going to need it.
5. Find a hotel at Petaling Jaya to spend the night
A city retreat, like The Royale Bintang The Curve, presents a convenient place for accessing the above mentioned shopping paradise. Staying in this 5-star hotel in Petaling Jaya before or after your shopping spree will certainly provide you that much-needed rest. Boasting an enviable location flocked by key places of interest but still within easy access to Kuala Lumpur, this hotel in Selangor, Malaysia brings you close to the best deals in the metro.
