Malasiya is a good place fir tourist, safe country , You can go to genting highlands , melaka , langkawi, batu caves , you can also use hip on hop off buss it was a good experience but keep umbrella or rain coats with you. The food was ok I booked swiss hotel for 3 days rooms were good but there were cockroaches in the kitchen. I would recommend to book a hotel in sentral you can use busses from there easily . In malacca i stayed in the apartment , apartment was very good and clean but the owner was quite fussy . I used grab and indrive it costs me much less then the taxis . Plus for genting highland if you are alone you can easily travel through buss but you have to booked it earlier. Overall it was good experience.

Guys I don't know if it was because I was a child but this was one of the best family trips I ever had. We went to Kuala lampur and langkawi and I fricking loved it. Langkawi is sooo beautiful and personally I liked langkawi more than the city. I felt super safe probably since I was with my family and we were in a huge group with our own friends. We had a great guide who was super nice to us and very hospitable throughout the whole trip. Unfortunately we couldn't get to eat authentic malaysian food since we had people who preferred indian food in our group. I totally recommend island hopping if you're an adventurous gal like me. This trip was long back but I can never forget itππ«ΆπΎ. Please carry a lot of sunscreen and water tho π.
Posted: May 3, 2025Experienced: April, 2018Went there during weekdays and theres very little tourist on the island. We were tge only guest for our hotel. I get around by renting a car but renting bikes would be so much fun. luckily bcs theres bery little tourist, not much car on the road and that helps a lot since their road is very narrow. 2 full days is enough to explore the entire island but I stayed for 3 days just to chill. Most interesting activity is feeding the hornbills. i didnt do water activities, just went there to see the scenery.
Posted: March 17, 2025Langkawi is made for tourists. Although I hate these kinds of places, the island is amazing. It used to be a hippie-gathering place, so there's a lot of reggae and hippie vibe all over the island. For women who are traveling and looking for a hostel, check out Bunga Hostel. The owner is a friend of mine, and she has created a hotel only for women. It's a creative place for solo female travelers.

I did a solo trip to Penang and it was a really nice spot to go. There was some cool museums. I did the the ghost museum and the upside down museum which were really cool. The easiest way to get around is either by walking or in a grab. I stayed on Chulia street which was such a good location for everything I wanted to do. I also went and did a hair treatment that I 10/10 recommend

The city centre is fairly safe and public transportation is easy to use with police officers on duty, however some areas might be dodgy especially after midnight. Snatch theft or pickpocketing might occur near night markets so best to stay vigilant when walking on the streets.

It's safe as long as you take care of your own belongings and don't show off too much. We would not want to attract unnecessary attention. Avoid walking alone in dark alleys at night. There are ladies only designated parking lots in certain malls, or ladies only coach in public transports so make use of them if you are travelling alone
