Always use the least amount of luggage possible no matter how long you plan to stay. Bring clothes of a cool, light weight material, it is very hot and humid here. Malaysia is predominately a Muslim country and you, especially women, should dress modestly. Bring the basic items for your personal needs as you would on any trip, but if you forget something like Imodium--as I did--you can easily get it from a local pharmacy--as I did--and relieve the misery.
backpack! summer clothingloose one!dun forget your sun-glasses!! insect defense lotion, tissuefor people dun wanna have sun bathing, you'd better bring sun block cream! it's better to have spare batteries, but twin tower in KL may be found swimsuit and goggles! for people dun like asian food, should bring some biscuits in your bags!in general, you can try different types of Asian food!!!
Shorts and t-shirts as the weather can be quite hot.More conservative clothes if you are going to cisit mosque. The chinese temples in Malaysia are not really too strict about attire. Mosquito repellent is a must Sunblock if you are going to the beaches Medcine to cure tummy ache. Anything is ok. They uses 3-pin plugs and sockets can be eas1ily found if you stay in a hotel.Films can be quite cheap if you know where to find(not in a tourist attraction)
A backpack is practical for those who travel around a lot. Besides that, anything would do! ;) For clothing, since Malaysia is a warm and humid country, i recommend cotton, light and loose fabric. Preferably not polyester nor leather (except for shoes! =>) High-cut boot is not recomended, sneakers/sandals are the most comfortable to get around. Don't worry, there're so many beautiful sarongs and batik sundresses you can get here! Sunblock!!! =) You can find all necessary photo equipment in the cities especially, but if you are planning else where, you might face some difficulties. However, almost all convenient stores nationwide sell films! ;) It's important for you to bring mosquito repellent if you are planning to camp outdoor. A hat or sunglasses would come in handy in hot days.
Hat - keep off the sun and allow you entrance into some mosques which require women to have their heads covered. Sarongs are handy too, same reason. Sleep sack. Guesthouses have bedbugs.Mosquito repellant and sunscreen. Duh.
In every country I visit, I usually make a list of things that strike me about the country. Here’s my list of “things Malaysian”- allergy to repairs, everything is left to fall into disrepair (sidewalks, bldgs, Malacca).- stolen moments where the mixed cultures are talking together- unfriendly women and overly friendly men (and I was usually dressed fairly conservative even in the heat)- fruit/juice stands- allergies to sidewalks, people must walk in the streets!- Mangosteens- blindness to traffic signals: you go by how you feel- place that makes you feel fortunate to live somewhere else
Hello folks!I hope to provide some information on suitable rucksacks for travel in Malaysia and the rest of Southeast Asia. The details will vary from country to country (such as safety features) but the information will be essentially consistent regardless where you are.The best rucksacks fit for travel, backpacking and adventure would be travel packs and not expedition packs for a one main reason:Travel Packs are easier to lock up. You'll find necessarry to lock your pack up on bus and train journeys, in backpacking inns and the sort. I have a Lowe Alpine 70+20 Liberty and its an expedition sack and I did not really face any problems with security travelling in Malaysia. Expedition packs are more user friendly compared to Travel Packs. Travel packs are usually bulky. Expedition packs like mine are a lot more tubular and therefore doesn't displace your center of gravity like a Travel...
If you are moving around alot, a back pack is good. If staying in 1 place, a rolling suitecase is good. lightwieght clothes, rain poncho and umbrella for rain and to keep the sun off. Sandles or shoes that come off easy. Long pants. None special. Carry those small packages of Kleenex, as restrunts and food stalls do not have napkins. none special. Anything for a camera can be bought overthere.
Casual, comfortable clothing and shoes that is suitable for walking, hiking, jungle-trekking.Umbrella and Raincoat would be of great help if travel during rainy season. Always bring some insect repellent when you're doing jungle-trekking. Apply insects repellent before you start with your day in the jungle, before the insects such as mosquitoes spoil your day. :-) All persons are required to have a valid passport to enter Malaysia. All foreign visitors are also required to have a passport to travel between Peninsular Malaysia and the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak, as well as between Sabah and Sarawak.Visitors arriving from Yellow Fever Endemic Zones and other affected areas are required to possess International Health Centificates showing Yellow Fever vaccination (not applicable for children below 1 year old).
Its a good zero degrees up there with high wind chill factor, so bring along a good jacket and a couple of layers. a sccarf is useful esp during the colder seasons. During the hike up, its pretty warm and humid, so you'll make do with a t-shirt and berms, but do change at the halfway house before the ascent. medicated oil as most people gt sick from altitude sickness. paracetamol helps or if you prefer the easier way, a couple of beers.... Also bring your own bottle of water, the halfway house at labuan rata allows refills although please do it discretely. Otherwise, the alternative would be to buy bottles of water at US$2-3.
