A wonderful trip down memory lane!

Family vacation to Bagan Lalang in Sepang, Selangor in May 2004 & May 2005.

Back then, Bagan Lalang was a much quieter "hidden gem" destination compared to the bustling resort hub it is today.

The Seri Malaysia chain is known for its "home away from home" vibe, and in 2004 and 2005, it was one of the premier places to stay in the are.

Set on a leafy property less than 1 km from the Sepang Gold Coast along the Strait of Malacca, this straigtforward hotel is a 15-minute walk from Bagan Lalang Beach and 33 km from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

MAY 2005

Dont's miss the chance to pay a visit to Bagan Lalang when you are in Sepang the next time. It is surely a destination worth a visit.
