Malaysia Tours - FAQ
Yes, all passengers travelling with Travel Talk must have travel insurance before participating in any of our tours. Your guide will collect your travel insurance details on the first day of your trip. It is your responsibility to make sure you have an adequate and suitable travel insurance in place. You may read more about this here.
The best time to visit Malaysia weather-wise is during the dry season, which typically occurs between November and February on the west coast (e.g., Penang, Langkawi) and from May to September on the east coast (e.g., Perhentian Islands, Redang). However, Malaysia’s climate varies by region, so the best time to visit may depend on your specific destination.
The currency in Malaysia is the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Credit cards are widely accepted in most urban areas, hotels, and restaurants. However, it’s a good idea to carry some cash, especially in rural areas and smaller establishments.
In most urban areas and major cities, tap water is treated and safe to drink. However, in more rural or remote regions, it’s advisable to drink bottled water to avoid any potential health issues.
Malaysians are generally polite and friendly. It’s customary to greet with a handshake or a nod. When visiting mosques or temples, dress modestly, remove your shoes, and cover your shoulders and knees. It’s respectful to use your right hand when giving or receiving items.
The official language is Malay (Bahasa Malaysia). However, English is widely spoken, especially in urban areas and among the educated population. Other languages, including Chinese and Tamil, are also spoken by various ethnic groups.
Tipping is not always expected but appreciated in Malaysia. In restaurants, rounding up the bill or leaving a 10% to 15% tip is common if a service charge is not included. Tipping is also customary for tour guides and taxi drivers for exceptional service.
Your budget for a trip to Malaysia can vary widely depending on your travel style. On average, a mid-range traveler can expect to spend around MYR 200-400 per day, including accommodation, meals, transportation, and activities. High-end options can be more expensive, while budget-conscious travelers can find ways to reduce costs.
