It is located partly in the peninsula of the Asian mainland and rest of it is on the island of Borneo. Malaysia shares its borders with Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand and the Singapore.
It is connected via a bridge and a causeway to the Asian economic power house of Singapore. With its amazing array of national parks, urban cities and islands; Malaysia has plenty to offer tourists.
However an understanding of its geographical regions can really help tourists plan their stay in Malaysia –
The West Coast is considered to be one among the more developed regions in the country.
The East Coast is generally considered to be more traditional and is home to a large Muslim population. The southern region has a large number of palm oil estates or plantations.
However, East Malaysia happens to be the main center for tourist activity. It is also abundant in natural resources and correspondingly is the main industrial hub of Malaysia.
The main cities include – Kuala Lumpur; the capital city, George Town, Malacca, Sabah etc. These cities have many Malaysia hotels. Most of these are cheap Malaysia hotels; hence one can always find accommodation in Malaysia.
However the few five star and seven star Malaysia hotels require Malaysia hotels booking early as vacancies are not frequent.
