Public displays of affection should be kept to a minimum. Learning a few basic Malay phrases is appreciated. Be mindful of local sensitivities and traditions, demonstrating respect for the diverse cultures within the country.

  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Malaysia?

    A week allows for a more in-depth exploration. Consider combining Kuala Lumpur (for city life and cultural attractions), with Penang (for its street art, food scene, and beaches), perhaps adding a few days in the Cameron Highlands for a cooler climate and tea plantations. Alternatively, exploring Borneo, visiting Kota Kinabalu and the rainforests of Sabah offers a completely different experience.
