I visited Malaysia last summer. Beautiful country, I hope to return there one day. The people were always extremely friendly. The food was pretty good too, especially in Kuching (on Borneo). Malaysia's biggest plus imo is its beautiful and diverse nature.

 

i like my head on my shoulders. i'll pass

 

Samantha what the problem with Malaysia ? Maybe you watch TV too often ? Personally I like culture and nature of most asian countries.

 

Lol, what is that supposed to mean? Ok, there are some small tribes that used to decapitate people, but they don't do that anymore.

 

next month we are going to celebrate our independence day...so many programmes has been scheduled for that

 

Malaysia is not a very nice place to visit.. try Singapore .. i am from Singapore... just next to malaysia

 

I went to Penang a few years ago (my Visa to Thailand run out so I needed to do it in order to jump back into Thailand) the place was nice but bastard expensive compared to Thailand IMO.

Nice people though and very friendly. I stayed there a week before going back into Thailand, it's a country that's a bit like Thailand but nothing like Thailand if you get my drift.

 

Lot of nice food! i love it!

 

I am from India and so I must say that I am near to Malaysia compared to people from the USA. I know it is a nice place but one has to pick up the right hotel to stay sice its quite expensive, they say.Correct me if I am wrong.

 

ive heard siam paragon is the best mall in malaysia and the world.
would love to go there..

 

Quite expensive hotels it's how much in dollars ?

 

Quite expensive compared to Asian standards, but still very cheap compared to European and Western standards. If you don't need much luxuary, you can find a place to sleep for a few dollars per night.

 

I need luxury Don't want to sleep for few dollars per night. You probably haven't been in Moscow, there you will pay few hundreds per night

 

i have seen these ads on tv, "Malaysia truly asia"
nice sea beaches, lot's of nice people! i guess malay is the regional languages, also there are too many indians there!!

if i get an opportunity, i will sure visit malaysia

 

Im happy in thailand right now.. but have heard some good things from malyasia.. didnt they recently build the biggest skyscraper?

 

the are many hotels here, if you go for 6 star hotel of course the cost is high..go for 4-5 star, a standard room you can get $40-$60 ..is it expensive ?

the food its true, very delicious and spicy

the people, yes truly asia....you can see Malay, Chinese, Indian, Punjabi, and also white man he he

If you plan to come over malaysia, just PM me, I can recommend nice place for you ...if you have USD1000 is good enough for 4-6 days stay ...

 

1000 is a lot. I'm sure it can be A LOT cheaper. Unless you want to live like a king of course

 

To live like a king you will need 3000-5000 for a week. 1000 is average, anyway that's what I spend for a week for Turkey or Egypt vacation. Of course it can be 500 or even lower but I will not call that rest.

 

i went to Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia few years ago.thailand was the cheapest and fun but i really couldn't walk on their streets it was very smelly with cooking all the insects and stuff. Malaysia and Singapore were nicer but i liked Singapore more! yet Malaysia was nice too!
