Malaysia is an incredible location, so much colour, a must see for any travel fan. Located off the coast of northeastern Malaysia not far from the Thai border. The Perhentian Islands are the must-go place in Malaysia for budget travelers. They have some of the world’s most beautiful beaches and great diving with plenty of cheap accommodation. The two main islands are Perhentian Besar (“Big Perhentian”) and Perhentian Kecil (“Small Perhentian”). Both the islands have palm-fringed white sandy beaches and turquoise blue sea.

A fascinating fusion of eastern and western influences, Penang is Malaysia’s most tourist-visited destination. The island manages to embrace modernity while retaining its colonial traditions; due to its well-preserved heritage buildings Penang’s capital, Georgetown, has been accorded a listing as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Although Georgetown’s landscape is dominated by Chinese storefronts – most in need of a good paint job – there are also swanky shopping complexes, refurbished Chinese manors, rowdy pubs and artsy boutiques, cafes and studios.

A cluster of islands off the coast of Kedah, Langkawi is a haven for duty-free shopping and island hopping. With pristine waters and peaceful scenery, Langkawi is also popular for water sports, and many flock here for weekends by the sea. Stick around to witness the amazing sea eagles convene for a feeding or take a tour to visit the mangroves they reside in. Another high-terrain attraction that must be visited, Cameron Highlands is known for the Boh Tea Plantation. Feast on sweet strawberries and sip on hot milk tea as you swap the hot, stuffy atmosphere of Malaysia’s cities for the cool hill breezes, where beautiful flowers bloom.

The island of Borneo houses Kuching, a city that certainly given Malaysia tourism a boom. Kuching is said to offer a kaleidoscope of cultures, crafts and cuisines along with a brilliant meld of modern and ancient to be witnessed. The city has many tourist attractions in the form of Chinese temples, markets , parks and eateries that serve some amazing food from other parts of Asia. Kuching is ideally a one-day trip destination, however, staying here a day or two would help you more to explore its diversity and beauty.
