Waterfront or Carpenter Street first trip Kuching — sampan rides RM1 dusk parliament golden dome, Main Bazaar kek lapis walkable dinner Top Spot. Outskirts RM50/night savings fine Grab safe night but less charm. Kuching slow walkable city not KL taxi everywhere. One night outskirts OK pre-flight. Bako Semenggoh need Grab either way.

Waterfront walkable to Carpenter Street, India Street, Top Spot seafood. Outskirts fine if you Grab — city feels safe, just less charm at night.
