Payment

Cash & Credit cards

ATMs are widely available throughout Malaysia, and cash advances can be acquired; however, these can impose a relatively high service charge, so verify with your credit card company before traveling.

Banking hours are Monday through Friday, 9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday are closed in most cities.

Many major credit cards are accepted, with the MasterCard and Visa brands being the most widely accepted, but many stores and banks charge a 2-4% transaction fee.

Food & Drink

The three main ethnic groups (Malays are Malays, Chinese, and Indians) have developed their own different cuisines as a result of their varied eating patterns. Malay cuisine is distinguished by its aromatic, spicy, and sweet flavors. Four main spices are typically used in Malaysian cooking. They frequently use coconut milk in their cuisine. Nasi Lemak, aromatic satay (chicken, beef, and lamb skewers), and Malay pastries are among the well-known dishes.

Others

December through April is typically the ideal time to visit Malaysia.

The majority of the year's climate is hot and humid, with sporadic bursts of rain. Make sure you have an umbrella with you because Malaysia's tropical monsoon environment guarantees brief periods of rain even during the dry season. The best time to visit the country can change depending on the destination and the season because they are different on either side of the peninsula.

Even with the heavy rains, January and February are the best months to travel to Malaysia. The Chinese New Year and Thaipusam are two events that take place during these months and are well worth attending. After the rain stops, everything calms down, the weather is comfortable, and the roaring waterfalls add to the area's splendor.

The Sabah fiesta, which takes place in May, is an interesting week-long celebration of Sabahan culture.

In contrast, during the Gawai Festival in June, the commune is made accessible for a few days to celebrate the rice harvest with dancing, food, beverages, and a great deal of entertainment.

We suggest packing light clothing (t-shirts, shorts, etc.) and sturdy shoes for trekking because Malaysia is frequently hot.

Remember that rain can fall at any time. Remember to bring an umbrella and a lightweight raincoat.
