Malaysia is less popular as a travel destination than it’s northern neighbor Thailand. This probably is because it is an Islamic country where the rules are stricter. This is why there are no ping-pong shows, no prostitution and no wild partying on the beaches.
The absence of partying youngsters is noticeable in every mayor touristic spot, which, in our opinion, is a nice consequence.
If you want to go to this beautiful country, it’s probably a good idea to know how expensive it is for a backpacker. We’ve documented every expense we made and summarized it in: Is Malaysia Expensive? | Cost of Living for Five Weeks.
