Malaysia

Malaysia offers something for everyone—history, culture, adventure, nature and relaxation—without the loud and crowded hustle and bustle of an overdeveloped nation. It’s dominantly Muslim, but with a rich ethnic mix of Chinese and Indians. Here, you enjoy pristine rainforests and marine parks, holiday on postcard-perfect beaches in sophisticated resorts, take in culture of its small towns, shop for inexpensive handicrafts, and eat some of the flavorful food in Southeast Asia.
