Malaysia

Malaysia, one of the Asian tigers, has transformed spectacularly during the last few decades. Today, it is an intriguing mix of modern and traditional, with both bustling cities and quiet rural villages. It is easy to be distracted by the beautiful beaches and the shopping in Kuala Lumpur, but don’t forget Malaysia’s other spectacular highlights, including Sarawak and Sabah on Borneo. Take your time exploring this country, and you’ll find one of the world’s greatest and oldest rainforest systems, unique wildlife and fascinating indigenous people.

What’s the difference?
