Malaysia is a budget traveler’s dream- a Southeast Asian country with cosmopolitan cities, pristine beaches, cool central highlands, and much, much more. Malaysia is separated into two major parts by the South China Sea- Peninsula Malaysia- on the mainland south of Thailand- and Malaysian Borneo- an island split with Borneo. Most backpackers stick to Peninsular Malaysia, while the ambitious try to make it out to Malaysian Borneo. If you are limited to the mainland, no worries- there is plenty to see and do.
