Apart from Kuala Lumpur, or KL as is it referred to by regular visitors, Malaysia can be split into these main holiday destination regions namely:- Malacca, Penang, Kuantan, Langkawi and Johor Bahru.

Langkawi

More and more people are visiting this group of over one hundred islands, known as the Jewel of the Kedah, in the Andaman Sea. However only two islands have people on them, with Paula Langkawi the main one, known as Langkawi and where most tourists go.

Apart from the beaches, the rain forests are spectacular, especially the walk on the Sky Bridge (it is solid, not waving in the wind with rotten wood and old rope), that takes you above and through the treetops.

Penang Island

It is located off Malay's north western coast and is a major tourist destination. The graceful town of Georgetown is the islands' capital. Driving yourself around Penang, will usually be the best transport option, but the taxis are good value.

Kuala Lumpur

Known for its' own twin towers, the two main airport are a bit of a journey, and the bus, or train, are the cheaper options. If just stopping off before another flight, you can stay for four hours at the True Hotel, which is a covered walkway away.
