Malaysia
A country divided by 330 miles of the South China Sea, Malaysia is one
of the most colourful, diverse and fascinating countries in Asia. Whether
you visit the capital, Kuala Lumpur, the beautiful serene white beaches
or the breathtaking scenery in the highlands, you’re sure to have a wonderful
holiday. Malaysia has a multi-racial population made up of Malay, Chinese,
Indian and the indigenous people of Borneo. They’ll make you feel right
at home. Even in the sophisticated cities, you’ll be greeted with smiles
and easy conversation.

Our Thoughts
You can shop until you drop in the Kuala Lumpur, where modernity goes
hand in hand with tradition. Away from the city, are the white sand palm
fringed resorts of Penang, Langkawi, Pangkor Laut and east Malaysia. Finally,
there is Borneo, home to the orang-utans and where it is possible to visit
them. Malaysia is possibly the only destination in the Far East where
driving (on the left) is relatively easy and exploring on your own is
a possibility. Twohigs can construct a Fly-Drive itinerary to suit your
