Travel FAQs
COUNTRY INFORMATION
Essential Information
Traveling in Malaysia is easy, affordable, and exciting! Malaysia’s generous visa policy gives travelers from the U.S., Canada, and European Union up to 90 days to explore Kuala Lumpur, the rainforests (including a side trip to Borneo), and the many beautiful islands on both sides of the country. It provides opportunities to sample culture from a mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and indigenous people all in one place. Kuala Lumpur is a melting pot of Middle Eastern, South Asian, and many other cultures. You’ll get to experience food, festivals, music, and traditions from many different ethnic groups — all in one place! Malaysia is very easy to travel. English is widely spoken; communicating rarely poses a problem in the top destinations around Malaysia. Roads and travel infrastructure are generally in good condition. Eating is inexpensive at street carts and in food courts, however, consuming alcohol is significantly more expensive than in Thailand.
Getting There
The Kuala Lumpur area is served by two airports. Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), the city’s main international hub, is located a hefty 46 miles outside the city. It’s served by numerous international carriers, as well as national airline Malaysia Airlines and Malindo Air, a joint venture between Malaysia and Indonesia. Nearby, KLIA2 is a new complex purpose-built to serve low-cost carriers, including AirAsia, which flies to many international and domestic destinations. KL’s second airport, Skypark Subang Airport (Sultan Abdul Azia Shah Airport), located about 12 miles from the city, is served by Firefly, a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines. It flies domestically and to Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. The rest of the country is dotted with more than 30 additional commercial domestic airports, served by Malaysia Air, AirAsia, Firefly, Malindo Air and MASwings (East Malaysia only).
Getting Around
Taxis are also widely available. In Kuala Lumpur, there are two types, regular cabs and more expensive “executive” or “premier” cabs, which are usually painted blue. It is mandatory for drivers to use the meter, aside from areas that operate on a pre purchased coupon system. Coupon system areas include rides from KLIA into the city (coupons can be purchased in the airport’s arrivals area; the price includes tolls), KL Sentral and some shopping malls. There is a charge for luggage transported in the trunk and extra passengers beyond two; from midnight to 6 a.m., there is also a 50 percent surcharge. Drivers may try to charge you an inflated flat rate elsewhere, particularly near upscale hotels, so negotiate and agree on a price before getting in the cab — or just walk away and look for a more honest driver. Most larger towns have a local public bus system, but schedules and routes can be difficult to find or tough to decipher. Get help at your lodging for information on pertinent routes. Malaysia by Train Peninsular Malaysia is served by 1,149 miles of rails, with a main line stretching from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur and northward to Thailand. They also head off from the main line to the country’s northeast corner, not far from Kota Bharu. This modern national train service is operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTMB), with its main hub at KL’s Sentral Train Station. There are two types of rail service: Express trains, which are air conditioned and have a choice of two to three classes of seating (premier, superior and sometimes economy), as well as three classes of overnight service with berths. Local trains, which are typically only economy class, though some may have superior-class seats. Because of frequent stops, these trains can take twice as long to reach a destination as the express trains. Malaysia by Bus A number of long-distance bus services operate in Malaysia. Konsortium Transnasional Berhad includes several bus brands, including Transnasional, Cityliner and Plusliner. These buses tend to be slower and may or may not have air conditioning. More upscale bus offerings include Aeroline, First Coach, Nice Executive Coach and Super Nice. These lines are typically air conditioned and may even have meal service. For a small upcharge, they’re well worth it. Traveling by Ferry in Malaysia Ferries serve a number of domestic and international destinations from Peninsular Malaysia, including links with Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia. East Malaysia is served by local ferries, as well as service connecting to Brunei and the Philippines.
Visa and Permits
Malaysia allows visa free stays to most foreign nationals, but all visitors entering Malaysia must be in possession of a valid passport or other internationally recognized travel documents, endorsed for travelling in Malaysia and with a validity period of at least six months beyond the time of stay allowed in Malaysia. As regulations may change from time to time, it is advisable to check with the nearest Malaysian Embassy before your departure.
Local Customs
In Malaysia, there are three major ethnic groups; Malays, Indians, and Chinese. Handshakes are appropriate only amongst men; only use your right hand. Women should greet men with a nod and smile; while greeting women, men may bow while placing their hand on their heart. Address delegates with the appropriate honorific or academic titles (Ms/Mrs/Mr/Dr) Elders, people of higher rank, and women should be introduced and greeted first. In Dining Business entertaining is very important for establishing strong relationships with Malaysians Do not serve port, beef, or alcohol Seating should be pre-arranged according to hierarchy Guest of honour should be given the best sear; usually the furthest from the entrance The host should be seated at the immediate left of the guest of honour Wait for the person of the highest importance to sit first before you do Always use your right hand for eating and passing food; do not use your left hand as it is considered unclean Utensils or hands may be used depending on the ethnic descent of the guest; Malaysians or Indians may use forks and spoons while the Chinese may use chopsticks and spoons Leaving food on the plate is disrespectful; clear your plate of the food that you are served It is common for Malaysians to use toothpicks at the table

Important Bewares
Kuala Lumpur, like other large cities in the world, is confronted with the problem of touts. Should you get a telephone call offering you a free tour, be very careful! It is usually someone’s intention to lure you into doing expensive shopping or pay a high price for other tour arrangements. It is a fact of life that nothing is free of charge, especially if offered by a stranger. Our advice thus – stay away from them! For further information or assistance please do not hesitate to contact us to help you to double check your arrangements. Also, if you receive a call for amending departure time of tours, etc., you are kindly requested to double check with us. Keep a healthy portion of mistrust also against strangers approaching you. However, despite these warnings, there is no need to be anxious as touts are quite harmless, so just smile and walk on. All in all take care but be not afraid.
Do’s and Don’ts in Malaysia
Though the standard of hygiene in Malaysia is high, we recommend to drink bottled water only which is widely available throughout the country. Food is generally ok to eat even at traditional food stalls anywhere in Malaysia. Please guard against sunburn and dehydration as the tropical heat is much stronger than it seems.
Best time to travel to Malaysia
Malaysia can be visited throughout the year. There are two not very marked seasons – a moderately wet and a moderately dry season. Thunderstorms are frequent in the late afternoons because of its high humidity, but they are brief and seldom dampen the mood for outdoor activities. The East coast of Peninsular Malaysia is avoided during the monsoon period beginning in late November, when most of the island resorts take a break, to revive their vitality to receive visitors again in March. The average temperature ranges from 24 degree Celsius to 32 degree Celsius in the lowlands.
