Guys, Come Visit Malaysia :) It's not that bad

While a bulk of Southeast Asia's visitors flock to Thailand, not many people don't know where to go in Malaysia. Maybe that's why Malaysia doesn't seem to get as much attention as Thailand. Long-term budget travelers often shun Malaysia as being 'too expensive' while short-term vacationers in Southeast Asia skip Malaysia for lack of time.

Here are my personal recommendations, do come to Malaysia(and spend your Moon cryptos XD):

#1 Kuala Lumpur

•••
You'll most likely fly into Kuala Lumpur, so this one's a no-brainer. But unlike other big Asian cities where travelers arrive and head out of town as soon as possible, Kuala Lumpur is a worthwhile destination of its own.

The mix of Malay, Chinese, and Indian influence means that you'll have no shortage of culinary exploits in Malaysia's capital city. Interesting sights such as the Petronas Towers, the Perdana Lake Gardens, and Menara KL Tower provide plenty of enjoyable distractions before you head out to explore Malaysia.

#2 Penang

•••
The place to eat. Malaysians are proud of their big island on the west coast -- and they should be! The colonial city of Georgetown was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has plenty to offer in the way of museums, a fort, historic homes, and most importantly, famous food.

Penang is considered one of the best places in Southeast Asia to sample incredible street food of all types. The waterfront esplanade known as Gurney Drive in Penang is lined with great places to sample local Malay, Chinese, and Indian treats.

#3 Perhentian Islands

•••
Backpackers and budget travelers love Malaysia's Perhentian Islands, especially Perhentian Kecil -- the smaller of the two islands -- where fine sand and excellent snorkeling/diving fill the day before parties start at night. Nearby Perhentian Besar – the big island – caters more to families and smaller resort crowds who are willing to spend more to enjoy the blue water and bypass the crowds.

The Perhentian Islands are extremely seasonal. Accommodation can be difficult to find in July, the peak month, while the islands are mostly empty in the winter months.

#4 Malaysian Borneo (Sabah and Sarawak)

Island Bohey Dulang
•••
IMHO, the islands at Sabah And Sarawak are pretty underrated. Take a look at Pulau Sipadan, Manukan and Bohey Dulang. I'm pretty sure not much people have heard about them, even Malaysians.

The option to exchange dirty concrete for green rainforests and abundant wildlife is only a cheap, quick flight away! Visitors to Malaysia often stick to the mainland and forget about the natural wonders on earth's third-largest island only a short hop away.

From endangered orangutans to rainforest canopy walks and some of the best diving in the world, Malaysian Borneo should definitely be a part of any trip to Malaysia.

Can't decide choosing between Sarawak or Sabah. Why not visit both ?

#5 Melaka/Malacca

•••
Spelled locally as 'Melaka', Malaysia's Peranakan city is a worthwhile stop for cultural, historical, and colonial sites. UNESCO even declared Malacca a World Heritage Site in 2008.

Visitors are rarely disappointed by the old town in Malacca. If nothing else, the relaxed vibe is pleasant enough to keep people around for a few days. Many shops and museums close in Malacca on Tuesdays -- plan your visit accordingly!

It is also a great place to try local food. Melaka and Penang are my personal favourite (and I believe most of Malaysians) to go food-hunting!
