Explore the indigenous cultures of the Iban tribe in Sarawak or the Malay villages nestled within the countryside, where ancient traditions and hospitality thrive.
Good to know:
Malaysia operates on Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). English is widely spoken, but learning a few words in Bahasa Malaysia will enrich your experience.

Good to know:
The official currency is the Thai Baht (THB), and the country enjoys a tropical climate, with a dry season from November to April and a wet season from May to October. While public transport is available, taxis and tuk-tuks are a common way to get around. For an authentic experience, consider visiting during the quieter shoulder seasons to avoid the crowds.
