Lugares para visitar en Malaysia

Malaysia has an equatorial climate with temperatures of roughly 23-33 degrees Celsius in the lowlands year-round, high humidity and afternoon thunderstorms in many regions. Rain follows two monsoons: the northeast monsoon from about November to March brings heavy rain to the peninsula's east coast (Terengganu, Kelantan and Pahang) and many island ferries reduce service, while the southwest monsoon from about May to September is drier on the west coast, where Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Malacca sit. Regional haze from forest and peat fires can affect air quality between roughly June and October. The peninsula's west coast is most comfortable for travel in January-February and June-August, and the east coast islands are best from about March to October. Islam is the official religion and Malay the national language, but English is widely understood in cities. Etiquette centres on modest dress at mosques and Hindu and Chinese temples, removing shoes when entering homes and prayer halls, and using the right hand to give and receive items. Alcohol is sold but taxed heavily and not served in many Malay-owned venues. Restaurants commonly add a 10 percent service charge and a service tax, so tipping is not expected. Foreign guests staying in registered accommodation pay a Tourism Tax of RM10 per room per night. Public holidays such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year and Deepavali close many shops and attractions, and Ramadan shortens hours at some sites. Malaysia drives on the left and uses the Type G three-pin plug at 240 volts.
