Planning your Malaysia trip
Best time to go: Weather depends on the region. From October to February, heavy rain and flooding affect Borneo and the peninsula's East Coast, while Penang and Langkawi largely escape this monsoon; the milder April-to-October monsoon reverses the pattern.
- Kuala LumpurSee a modern, multicultural capital and the famous Petronas Twin Towers.
- George TownExplore colonial buildings, varied communities and a city known for excellent food.
- MalaccaDiscover several centuries of Malaysia's colonial and imperial history.
- Cameron HighlandsVisit tea plantations and enjoy cooler temperatures.
Scams to watch for in Malaysia
- Taxi meter refusal and inflated faresA driver refuses to use the meter and asks for a much higher fixed fare. In Kuala Lumpur, this is more likely during rush hour or rain. An official taxi stand does not guarantee a fair fare: drivers at Melaka Sentral are also reported to overcharge.
- PickpocketingA thief takes a wallet, phone or other valuable from your pocket or bag. Crowds and the movement of people boarding or leaving transport make this easier.
- Roadside bag snatchingA thief grabs a bag and runs away or escapes on a motorcycle. Motorcycle thieves may drag someone who keeps holding the bag, causing serious injuries.
