Q : Plan to have 10-20 days Holiday in Malaysia, either East coast or West coast of Peninsular  without itinerary schedule?

A1 : 10 – 20 days is more than enough if want to stay at East coast. Best timing is between Mar – October (Monsoon season is between Nov – Feb). Redang island, Tioman island, Perhentian island are some of the best choice. If you don’t want off shore. You can consider Terengganu(Awana Kijal) and Pahang beaches(cherating or teluk cempedak).

A2 : If you like to travel to West coast – Penang, Genting Highlands, Malacca, Cameron Highlands, Langkawi island and Pangkor island are the best choices.
