Overview

Malaysia

Made of a peninsula and the northern part of Borneo island, Malaysia is a multifaceted country. Most of its cities were constructed in the middle of a vast tropical forest. Kuala Lumpur and its immense buildings gives room to a jungle that will cut you off your usuals, scary but will truly seduce you. The area is ideal for trekkers and rafters. The Petronas towers in the capital city entertain you at night. The country's temples and mosques illustrate Muslim-Buddhism cohabitation. Its divine beaches won't envy the most beautiful clichés. Here, do not hesitate to relax and go diving.

pros

  •  The landscapes and climate contribute to the charm that will take you off your usuals.
  •  Buy the ticket and get every other thing (transport, accomodation, feeding, etc.) are affordable rates.

cons

  •  Organising trekking in remote areas is difficult.
  •  Caution! Some regions are not very safe.

Our Editorial team's advice

Malays are very practising muslims. The least you can do not to hurt their feelings is to dress decently in town, at the beach or close to places of worship. However, they are more tolerant than in the Middle East. Women are veiled, true, but many work. The sale or consumption of alcohol is not forbidden, but you'll find very little, except in Chinese shops or restaurants where you'll mostly get beer. However, it is strictly forbidden in Kelantan and Terengganu.
Do not bargain with Malays, for their prices are honest and they might get irritated. However, do not hesitate with the Chinese: this is common practice that often turns into a game.
For treks in the mountains or jungle, provide for lodging and hiking separately in advance. Accomodation is limited and treks, even when attended by guides, sometimes require authorisations issued by the national parks department.

Malaysia: from Penang to Langkawi

Malaysia: from Penang to Langkawi

From Kedah to Johor via Sabah and Sarawak, Malaysia is composed of 13 states and three federal territories. So much of the landscape is worth the 13 or so hours flying time from the UK. Amongst other things, we had the pleasure of visiting many of the hotels on the touristic islands of Penang and Langkawi, ...
