Besides seeking for information from the best agent, Tourism Malaysia Cambodia or other travel agencies, you can also learn some important things related to this amazing country so that you can be aware of worth-knowing info in order to avoid the culture shock you may encounter during your journey: 
 
1. Everyone can fly 
AirAsia group chief Tony Fernandes even managed to get Richard Branson to dress up in drag. Now that's clout. AirAsia led the way for low-cost travels in the Southeast Asia, and Malaysia's where it all started. Between the "Apprentice Asia" bossman Tony Fernandes' airline and Penang-based Firefly, some 18 domestic destinations across peninsular and East Malaysia are interconnected with scheduled flights. Breakfast in the UNESCO-listed world heritage city of Georgetown, lunch in Kuala Lumpur and asleep in the Borneo rainforest by nightfall? Travelers can now live the jet-set lifestyle, no frills edition. 
2. Fair taxi fares? You probably won't find them 
Kuala Lumpur's taxis might advertise themselves as "bermeter" (metered), but many drivers still refuse to switch them on. Kuala Lumpur taxis consistently rank on world's worst lists. 
Their notoriety isn't helped by comments made by a minister who said the attitudes of the cab drivers were "worse than our filthy public toilets." (A comment later withdrawn with an apology.) 
Savvy visitors insist on meter usage, haggle or, if they have time, use local public transportation. 
Many of the new taxi booking apps are helpful: Easy Taxi, TaxiMonger and My Teksi are good. 
 
3. It's always Milo time 
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZPSiyUD63ueInHJWnkSEelfNjZDd4Kr_7-pW9qUSI80PE_fC98A-6tw9bXndJAqzLq8L79BKNIjYYd8tFZ5QxsFBGq7zD-zDRbfiNA9efv1O4K8eNCtyP6oqdTLpxeRdpX8sO292NEg/s1600/Malysai+tour.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZPSiyUD63ueInHJWnkSEelfNjZDd4Kr_7-pW9qUSI80PE_fC98A-6tw9bXndJAqzLq8L79BKNIjYYd8tFZ5QxsFBGq7zD-zDRbfiNA9efv1O4K8eNCtyP6oqdTLpxeRdpX8sO292NEg/s320/Malysai+tour.jpg" width="320" /></a>In Malaysia, Milo isn't just a drink. It's a toast topper, too. Somewhere between 1950 and now, Malaysia became the world's largest consumer of the famous cocoa and malt drink. The country also has the world's largest Milo factory. It's sold everywhere from KFC to kopitiams (coffee shops), McDonalds to mamak stalls.You can enjoy it hot or iced, with Nescafe (aka Neslo), with a heap of powdered Milo on top (aka Milo Dinosaur) or a dino on steroids -- Milo Godzilla, with additional whipped or ice cream to top it off. 
 
4. The word "bacon" is used loosely 
If your morning has to begin with a pan full of pork, you might be disappointed with the breakfast buffet in Malaysia. For the third year running, Malaysia has topped the list of the world's most Muslim-friendly holiday destinations, according to Singapore-based Muslim travel consultancy Crescentrating. One of the criteria used for the survey was access to halal-compliant food. This means there are large voids left by pork sausages and bacon at most hotel breakfast buffet lines. 
 
5. Greatest Guinness outside Ireland 
Guinness is brewed in almost 50 countries worldwide. Claims like this don't come without medals and trophies to back them up. For five consecutive years, Malaysia has won the coveted Guinness League of Excellence Award and bragging rights for brewing the velvetiest Irish stout beyond the popular black nectar's home turf. 
 
6. Duty free islands 
Tioman's claim to fame it was supposedly used as a backdrop for the 1958 movie "South Pacific." If hedonistic pursuits put large dents in your travel budget, then consider this the excise rate paid on beer in Malaysia is the second highest in the world. Yet you probably wouldn't have guessed that the country also rounded out the top 10 of the world's largest alcohol guzzling nations in 2011, according to the World Health Organization. Luckily, islands like Langkawi, Tioman and Labuan are all designated tax-free zones, so you can stock up on quality booze and smokes. 
Government tariffs are also waived on hotels and selected retail goodies.

Plants and animals like it here, too 
Quintessential Malaysian Borneo a visit to the Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary.Malaysia is one of just a handful of countries considered "megadiverse," said to harbor 20% of the world's animal species in its rich ecosystems. This natural biodiversity puts it in the same league as Brazil. In fact, the Amazon rainforest is a baby at 55 million years old compared with Malaysia's Taman Negara, which has been around for 130 million years and is reputed to be the world's oldest. 
 
8. The best char kuay teow is in Penang 
Char kuey teow made with flat rice noodles is one of Southeast Asia’s most popular dishes. Penang is widely regarded as the nation's culinary capital, and char kuay teow is at the top of the food chain. 
 
9. Visiting during Ramadan isn't a problem 
In Kuala Lumpur, the Ramadan Bazaar offers fantastic food after sunset for those looking to break their fast. Non-Muslims are welcome, too. With more than half the population being Muslim, Ramadan is widely observed in Malaysia. But unlike in more conservative destinations such as Dubai, visitors and non-Muslim Malaysians aren't expected to abstain from eating, drinking or smoking in public during the month of fasting. Nevertheless, it's considered a polite gesture for visitors not to be scarfing and swigging on the street during this time. For the most part, you can still get alcohol, and hotel eateries and restaurants run by non-Muslims open as normal. 
 
10. Malaysians are mad for social media 
If your new Malaysian friend uses the Internet, chances are they're on Facebook. In a global study conducted by research firm TNS in 2010, Malaysians ranked as the most e-social nationality on the web, with an average of 233 friends in cyberspace. As of 2012, a reported 87.9% of Malaysians on the Internet access Facebook. If you want a new Malaysian BFF, it won't be hard -- locals are often enthusiastic to become your newfound friend, fan or follower.

Among millions people all around the world, there are always those who are so into going to many new different places. Youth time proudly introduces you an amazing trip lover, who is the owner of a newly-created but wonderful Facebook page” Trach Chaa”. Let’s find out how his travel experience is like: 
 
Mr. Borei Sylyvann, 30 years old, finished Bachelor Degree in Media and Communication. He was also one of the winners of a Fulbright scholarship to study in the U.S. in 2010 and graduated with the Master Degree in Communication and Development Studies. Regarding working experience, he has had six-year experiences working as communication specialists for various local and international NGOs. Nowadays he is working as a freelance communication consultant. 
 
Among the trips he has ever had so far, the first memorable trip was when he visited Siem Reap for the every first time with his family in 1995 by speedboat; it was an exciting journey as they traveled up the Tonle Sap River and Tonle Sap Lake. Back then, Siem Reap was a very quiet town, but he loves it that way. He also really enjoyed the tranquility of this laid-back town and visiting temples was not as hectic as nowadays. Angkor Wat temple is beautiful, and the amazing feeling of setting his foot inside the temple complex for the first time is unforgettable.

Talking about the places he always wants to visit, he enthusiastically replied “Well there are actually too many places that I really wanted to visit since I was young. I have started to tick them off the list now. Because I had learned about France both languages and wonderful places located in this country particularly Paris, the Eiffel Tower. I always dreamed of visiting this city and I made it in 2007 and got to see many nice places in the city. I also fell in love with an animated film named “The Little Mermaid”, which demonstrated the most beautiful value of love. There is “The Little Mermaid” statue made and displayed on the rock by the waterside at the Langelinie promenade in Copenhagen, Denmark. So it was always my dream to visit Copenhagen to see this heart-touching-story inspired sculpture. I did it as well in 2007. I always wanted to visit Nepal, as I am really interested in the beautiful and rich culture and those beautiful mountains in Nepal. I love trekking, so Nepal is the destination that I will never miss. I trekked to Poon Hill in Nepal in November 2014, and I plan to visit this country and do more trekking again.” 
 
The impressive travel experience of his mentioned above and many others more might evoke your doubt how does travel actually mean to him. Here is his worth-sharing answer “Traveling is a part of my life-learning process, self-exploration and reflection. Traveling is definitely enriching, both physically and mentally! Through traveling, I personally believe that we can as well harvest a wealth of knowledge, experiences and wisdom. There are always new things for us to learn, to experience and most important of all to understand: 
the people, the culture, the customs and the food.” 
 
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix87LULMQBTK5FwPDi325KUDprciVEIHAmoE6SThGTw7wKa1E1pNBCvSAZAeUfx0EE1MbrBbUHHNrz0F9gf6MRM_BkxmUVedfjCTDoGvMmY6zfXLgRRIj4h4ycSh0ejSp9sw1zniQh-mc/s1600/Trekking_Rinjani_Mountain_in_Lombok_2C_Indonesia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix87LULMQBTK5FwPDi325KUDprciVEIHAmoE6SThGTw7wKa1E1pNBCvSAZAeUfx0EE1MbrBbUHHNrz0F9gf6MRM_BkxmUVedfjCTDoGvMmY6zfXLgRRIj4h4ycSh0ejSp9sw1zniQh-mc/s320/Trekking_Rinjani_Mountain_in_Lombok_2C_Indonesia.jpg" width="320" /></a>Personally, He would suggest diversifying the traveling experiences by always doing different things. Sometime, he would find himself end up traveling in big cities, there he could learn about urban planning, modern architectures, arts etc… Some 
time he would choose to visit temples, historical parks; there he can relax more, find peace of mind, and learn about history and amazing ancient architectures. occationllay, he would prefer to travel in the wild and nature. There is no hustle, he just simply takes his time and appreciates nature such as mountains, forests, waterfalls, oceans and islands. Different choices of traveling destination generate different experiences and knowledge; so he believes it is very important to experience them all. 
Mr. Sylyvann also mentioned the importance of being a responsible tourist and traveler as he said that everyone needs to understand the customs, tradition and culture of each country that they are visiting and abide by it accordingly. Also, they should definitely respect the local people and local practices.

Mr. Borei Sylyvann “I hope young people will travel more often and love the nature more. Learn new things, come back and share your stories with the world and your community.”

Ms. Ratha also mentioned some useful advices for tourists visiting Malaysia for the very first time. Regarding the best time to visit this wonderful country is in March-April, July-September and November-January since there will be special sale promotions during these periods of time so that everyone can enjoy their time at shopping paradise on earth as well as visit many tourism sites including natural sites like Tea farm, Langkawi Island with 99 islands (Travel 45 minutes by flight from Kuala Lumpur) and other kinds of sites. 
 
Another worth-mentioning point from Ms. Ratha is that visa is not needed if you visit Malaysia for less than 1 month but you need to have the passport which is valid for at least 6 months. Talking about the most visited city is Kuala Lumpur since it is just like our Phnom Penh city as it is the capital city or so called the city of trade. Besides this large city, Malacca and Johor should also be taken consideration.
