Packing List
Pack lightly! Especially in November/December when it's hot... make sure you can lock it/secure it somehow to make it difficult for others to access! Just use common sense when in South East Asia.

Take light stuff as it gets muggy and hot. Probably good to take a waterproof jacket too.

For Langkawi - mosquito repellent - HEAPS OF IT - and take some hardcore stuff from Australia because the repellent available in Malaysia doesn't work. If you can't get the Aussie stuff, get something that has eucalyptus in it! I really cannot stress it enough!!! SPF30+ sunscreen Immodium (for when you go out with the locals and eat Nasi Goreng!)

Bathers and a towel, Teva sandles, sunglasses, a hat, a few shorts and t-shirts and you're set!!!

Light luggage
Travellers intent on doing some shopping in KL should pack very lightly. Shopping is excellent in KL and very cheap. I recommend going there with your bare essentials if you can. Buy suitcases if you have to while you're in KL to bring your shopping home. Suitcases are cheap enough to purchase too. I took only a backpack and came back laden with goodies in a suitcase.

Bring a cheap camera if you can. My expensive camera was stuffed up by the high humidity in Malaysia.

Water-proof small-sized backpack will be good where you are walking about out in the city. Because it'll rain without alarm. As for luggage, water-proof is still the best!

Umbrella will be a good thing to bring along. Backpackers might wanna consider raincoat. Cottony clothing. T-shirts and shorts. It doesnt really get that cold. But a sweater might be useful sometimes. Sandals are so important! Dont' forget your flashy clothes if you love partying. You can party even if it rains out there.

Cold remedies. In case you catch a cold.

What to bring
You can always pick up extra luggage in Chinatown if you need it.

You must, must must, bring clothes that are comfortable and suited for hot and humid weather. Change socks/underwear multiple times a day--if needed. Wear sneakers because you will probably walk a lot. I saw a lot of locals wearing sandals and I don't know how they did it on their sidewalks. I slipped every time I wore sandals. If you are an uncommon size, it's best to bring all of your own clothes. Asians are smaller people than most Americans.

Handsanitizer and personal wipes. Keep your hands clean. I got a cut on my finger and then got a nasty infection. Most toilets in the city do not have tp. Finding toiletries and medical supplies in KL is fairly easy. I just think you should have these two on hand.

Bring extra batteries with you or your charger. Finding AA at a good price is hard.

If you can fit it in your luggage and you have enough weight allotment, bring some bottled water and some protein bars. That way you do not have to search for water when you first get in, and you have something to eat in case everything grosses you out.
