BEST TIME TO VISIT MALAYSIA:
Malaysia experiences high heat and humidity all year-round, and there isn’t a lot of dissimilarity between the seasons. The most noticeable difference is the monsoon season which arrives in November/December and brings on the “rainy season” until mid-February. During this time, travel is not recommended on the East coast of the peninsula.
While the East coast becomes extremely wet weather during this time, the West coast works on a different timeline. The West Coast’s rainy season goes from April to October, and while it lasts for a longer time, the weather is gentle and the rain won’t have much effect on your travel plans.
The nice thing about the wet seasons, you can visit Malaysia at any time of the year and have a pretty enjoyable beach holiday with your loved ones. Line up your travel plans with the right areas of Malaysia, otherwise, you might find your beach vacation rained out!
IS IT AFFORDABLE?
Malaysia travel is pretty affordable. A little costly than some other areas in Southeast Asia, but still far less than any western countries. If you’re happy sleeping in a hostel and eating street food, you can easily enjoy your stay. If you want to splurge on a nice hotel or a few epicure meals, you might want to budget your trip.
