Malaysia
Hello,
Here are some practical infos regarding Malaysia:
- Very friendly and helpful people
- Very good roads, good signposting
- Cheap petrol, (petrol: 1, 92 Ringgit / 0,35 Euro; Diesel: 1,58 Ringgit / 0,28 Euro)
- Good and cheap restaurants anywhere
- Supermarkets in big cities, otherwise no problem to find everything in street markets
- No road blocks
- Speed limit controlled by radar, but I don’t know what they do about foreigners
- Cameron Highlands: very nice road through the hills for bikers
- Easy border with Thailand
- Third party insurance for Thailand available at petrol stations before the border (2 Euro for 6 months)
- Some areas are very populated, so not easy to camp in the wild, plenty of guesthouses / hotels anywhere
- Penang island camping on the beach (no infrastructure) : outside Batu Ferringhi (coming from Georgetown) N 05°27’717’’ E 100° 13’ 133’’
Have a safe trip
Albert
