If we were to do Koh Lipe, would you rather skip Penang or Langkawi?", "Not the commenter, but I would skip Langkawi for Penang easily. Car rental for 5 pax you can budget about RM 350-450 for decent sedan or SUV.", "Also on language- no harm in collecting a few phrases from a Bahasa Malaysia phrasebook or website. Conversational Malay is quite straight forward- there\u2019s a reason it was the lingua franca in the region for centuries. Numbers, one-word basic questions, and polite phrases like thank you, will get you a long way.", "Would recommend chenang beach in Langkawi for souvenirs shopping."], ["Make sure to fill out the digital arrival card 3 days before arrival. https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main", "thanks will do"], ["first timer, do the tourist route\nunless you want to spend for private beaches skip langkawi, its a slow island and more so these days.\nmelacca is another common choice"], ["If it\u2019s within your budget both in time and money wise, consider Sabah. Get on the river cruise to see the monkeys and fireflies native to the jungles of Borneo.\nIf you like islands, check out Mantanani and consider Semporna."], ["Will say just skip Koh Lipe and do another Thailand trip next time.\nKL to Penang, then Langkawi and end up KL for flight back home seems sensible.\nKuala Lumpur, 3 days. Stay near to KLCC. Explore the hustle and bustle of a city. Go to malls, central market, do a little shopping, try local food and enjoy the man-made attractions. It's a city, pretty much the same everywhere around the world.\nPenang, 5 days. Stay in Georgetown and enjoy the old colonial era charm. Attractions should be within walkable / bikeable distance. Take Grab (hired car) for daytrips to Penang Hill & Botanical Garden (same area) or to beaches in Tanjung Bungah / Batu Feringghi or even further to Teluk Bahang, National Park for more hike and beaches. Penang is well known to be a foodie city. Be sure to sample some of their best cuisine.\nLangkawi, 5 days. Langkawi is a big island and accessibility is poor. Getting a rented car is a must. Unless you plan to hole up in one of the many resorts there. I can't suggest which is the best area to stay. Luxury resorts are located just northwest of Langkawi airport. Cenang used to be good (and probably still is?) and have many affordable options. Kuah is a bustling town, nothing much but even cheaper hotels.\nThere is no airport in Koh Lipe, that means half day of travelling to somewhere just to take a flight. Langkawi has daily flights to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore for flight back home.\nSelamat Datang and enjoy your stay here.", "Yeah i think that\u2019s the best plan. It\u2019s just my mom said Koh Lipe is one of her dream destinations but looking at it it\u2019s very small so there\u2019s nothing else to really do other than enjoy the world-class beaches and what comes with it. And as we don\u2019t have much time i think the half day traveling with ferry and immigrations checks because of border crossing is probably food reason to leave it for another trip. It\u2019s just the paradise islands are kind of her thing.\nSince you seem very knowledgable do you mind giving me a quick insight about the prices? I know they can vary a hell of a lot, but generally in my capital Tallinn, in a normal not anything special restaurant the prices vary in the range of 12-18 euros per meal. So that\u2019s 60 to 90 ringgit. I imagine Kuala Lumpur is more expensive than Penang and Langkawi but could you give some ranges for prices over there? To just grab lunch or have a but of a nicer dinner somewhere?\nAlso about what does it cost to hire the Grab in Penang? Is it like a taxi for a one way cost or is it hired for a full day?\nLangkawi car rental i\u2019ll look up.\nThanks for the help brother", "Koh Lipe is only 90 minutes away from Langkawi. I think it's perfectly doable. You have 13 days. I think just go there. Immigration wouldn't take that long.\nI don't think you need to spend 5 days for each place. Maybe 3 days in KL, 3 days in Penang, the rest in Langkawi/Koh Lipe.\nFood is fairly cheap in Malaysia. Decent meal would cost RM20-30. This is like if you go to restaurants each time.\nUse grab to go everywhere. It's like Uber. But if you wanna go at your own pace, then maybe rent a car is better. There are plenty of car rentals at the airport.\nHave you thought about exploring East Malaysia, specifically Sabah? It's only 2.5 hours flight from KL.\nIslands in sabah are so beautiful, IMO better than Thai islands. Check out islands in Tawau like Boheydulang, Mabul, Mataking, Sipadan.\nHeck the islands near the state capital, Kota Kinabalu like Sapi, Mantanani, Manukan are also so beautiful. Corals everywhere. I can't find corals in Thai islands near Krabi/Phuket.", "Eating out varies in cost. Kuala Lumpur city centre or George Town, Penang will set you back RM 50 - 80 per person for a nice meal in a proper restaurant, without alcohol. Unfortunately, most of the cost comes from alcohol. Even a shitty house pour wine will set you back at ~RM30 / \u20ac6.00. A nice bottle will set you back ~RM200 / \u20ac40.00.\nIn Kuala Lumpur or Penang, just do one way trips using Grab. You can even do Grab Food to your hotel, to save you time. If you are staying in city centre, would just suggest not to travel via cars during peak hours, just use metro.\nLangkawi is the reverse. Food expensive (same as Kuala Lumpur), alcohol is cheap. Langkawi is a tax-free island.\nIf your stomach can handle it and you have a local to show you around, street food can be cheap and good. Best street food can be found in Penang.", "You can take a 2 hour ferry ride to koh lipe from langkawi. Hop on a flight to langkawi from kl in the morning, get to koh lipe by the afternoon. Skip Langkawi and enjoy Koh Lipe. So so so much nicer than Langkawi, with crystal clear waters, fairly quiet, absolutely zero cars, and very chill in general. The island itself is small, but you can take snorkelling tours and go on tours around the islands nearby"], ["Malacca and Penang would be good of you are into history.\nLangkawi is a good beach island with a feel of village/kampung.

I mean we are a family with different interest, my little siblings wish to sit at a hotel by the pool or beach all day but the older ones like to see cool historical sights, see beatiful nature etc and be more active. Is it possible to do these half-half days in Penang as well where you explore Georgetown for half a day for example and the other half go to a beach? Ik it\u2019s complicated buy there basically needs to be a balance at all times or there will be crying kids or unsatisfied and bored adults", "Penang has some historical sites, but the more popular historical site would be in Malacca (Melaka).\nClose to Penang you can also visit Ipoh (should be on route from Kuala Lumpur-Penang)\nNature-wise, you can head to Taman Negara (National Park), but its on the southern side of Peninsular Malaysia.\nNot sure if the islands are back open during February, but look up Perhentian Islands, or Redang Island if youre interested in the beach.\nFebruary 10th is Chinese New Year (a.k.a lunar new year), so the traffic will be heavier than usual. However, you'll be able to see different kind of decorations, and festivals everywhere in Malaysia."], ["Penang > Langkawi. More to see, more to eat, culturally explosive for the senses.

Tap water is not clean here and always make sure to have mineral/boiled/filtered water.\nIn KL, hit up the aquarium in KLCC for some family time, shopping in Pavilion for luxury goods and you can even visit and hit up some bars for drinks at night. Alcohol is wayy more expensive here compared to Estonia though so be mindful of that.\nYou can visit Chinatown (Petaling Street) to walk around but make sure to keep your valuables safe like your jewellery and such.\nI would say for Penang, you can visit the Escape Park for some thrill and fun with your family. Also, you can go over to the \u201cArmenian Street\u201d for some light shopping or souvenirs, Georgetown and even go for an ATV ride.", "Thanks for the tips and reccomendations.\nShould we take the digestive pills in a preventative measure all the way through the trip or after something already feels a bit wrong?\nIn terms of KL the aquarium seems really fun, excited to visit.

East and north Malaysia will still be completely undiscovered, but hey, we all have work and school and can\u2019t do these multible month long trips to explore the entire country.\nEstonia you could explore in a week-pretty much. At least do it so that you\u2019ve been to all parts of the country, but Malaysia is big and actually i\u2019m really impressed, it looks to be very developed. I knoe it varies by state, but you have close naighbours doing much worse economically so great jobs on that also. Eager to see all of it", "I would say when your stomach doesn\u2019t feel too good after eating some street foods. Restaurants food should be more hygienic but better be prepared.\nAlso, download Grab in advance if you could. It\u2019s Bolt in Estonia and a lot more convenient if you are not driving/have a designated driver. Alternatively, you can sit the MRT to travel around in the city.

Of course shopping centres/ malls will be largely big free but other wise do expect insects\nA few questions, what does your family enjoy ?\nNature ? Sights ? Do you plan to do road trips and drive around ? There are some fairly interesting smaller towns to visit (Sitiawan, Ipoh) if you are driving. Or do you plan to stick to the bigger cities and use public transport?\nFood ? How\u2019s your food palate?

Is it worse in Malaysia compared to these countries? I mean they\u2019re your neighbours, how bad can it be?\nIn terms of what we like, my little siblings like to chill by the pool or beach all day. We like it too, but not the whole trip, so we basically force them to come with us and do sightseeing, hiking etc. We really love South-East Asia\u2019s natural beauty and hikes are a must for us, but i think we can find places to hike pretty much everywhere. In terms of food, i think we\u2019ll give everything at least a try. I suspect estonian and malaysian cousines to be as different as night and day, but again, we\u2019re used to it. It\u2019s just that again, the little kids are pretty picky and they need to have their usually pizza/french fries/pasta from time to time, which will also be okay in touristy places i suppose.\nThank you for being so welcoming, can\u2019t wait to visit"], ["I'd say for beaches, skip Langkawi.

There are guided tours up the Petronas twin towers as well, which can be good fun for a family. Alternatively, you can explore eating in the one of the restaurants up the towers- only Marini\u2019s on 57 is open at the moment, I think (open only for dinner) which is a high-end steakhouse but with a beautiful view of the city.\nPavilion KL is another shopping mall - KL is rife with them, but it\u2019s a nice one.\nI would check out the National Craft Complex, which isn\u2019t far from KLCC. There are huts featuring different local crafts that you and your family could participate in, eg Batik painting, pottery.\nNear Merdeka Square, there are some good parks- The KL Bird Park and Butterfly Park are both worth a visit. The Islamic Arts Museum is there too, which in my opinion, is better worth a visit than the National Museum. Merdeka Square itself is very pretty, historic, and a good picture location. If you dedicate a day in this are you could probably hit up several in the same locale.\nOther fun places to visit for shopping and the experience are Central Market, Brickfields (aka Little India), Petaling Street, Masjid India. Just be aware that if shopping, a lot of these places expect haggling as a matter of course- no need to go overboard, but unless it\u2019s explicitly stated on a sign somewhere \u201cno haggling, fixed price\u201d, no harm in asking for a better price/bulk discount.\nHopr you and your family have fun!

I'd like to add a bit to that:\nWhen in Penang especially, try Nasi Kandar (its rice with mix curry, plus chicken/fish/lamb. My fav restaurants in Penang wld be Hameediyah or Deen Maju). Nasi Kandar is served usually at a type of restaurant we call 'mamak' shops. Usually its 24hrs, staffed with predominantly Indian staff (Mamak is our term for Indian Muslims).\nAt restaurants esp local ones, don't call waiters/waitress 'Excuse Me'. Instead use Abang (older brother), Kakak (older sis), Adik (younger sibling) and if you're at mamak can call them anney (bro in law). Can also use boss.
