"Selamat Datang !" Malaysia by janchan

Malaysia Travel Guide: 32,375 reviews and 65,060 photos

colonial style houses in Penang (Georgetown)

My experience in Malaysia has been wonderful. I was there just for about 20 days (too few indeed), but I could see so beautiful and wild landscapes... so I have been charmed by this country !

My friend Claudio (scire_nefas on VT) and I rented a car in Kuala Lumpur and drove through the Malacca peninsula for more than 2000 km.

Unforgettable places are the Taman Negara National Park and the Peherentian Islands...

Pros and Cons

Pros:Fantastic nature and not expensive
