    I bought a couple of flights Bangkok to Buri Ram approx 50 baht each way = $5 return plus booking fee. (I might or might not go, but a cheap option for a side trip later on) Pretty damned good! Also I saw Kuala Lumpur to Syd approx $107

    Serious, what do YOU do on Malaysia?

    Last time I went,I only enjoyed Penang…. But not by very much. I essentially didn't really enjoy it, mainly because of the racism.

    The found out that the Chinese Malay are institutionally discriminated against (mainly because they… well, do too well in Malaysia), and I guess I was mistaken to be Chinese… leading to in your face preferential treatment to non Asians (Caucasians) in resorts.

        I'm from Kota Kinabalu and would of course recommend this place if what you like to do is relaxing on the beaches at the different islands (avoid the beaches around the city at all costs though), and you can get a PADI diving course there, if you're lucky you get to see sea turtles. Food is great there too just have a look at this website for suggestions http://www.eatbah.com/

        Nice beach but the waters are too calm for me. Such a chilled beach… Soo chilled, did seem lawless.

        If anyone's going there for the snorkeling, go with the International tourist group rather than the local tourist group.

        That's obvious…

        But when you're on holiday you want to go to a place to relax, and not worry about experiencing blatant racism, or racism at all. That's all I'm saying

    • ausooi on 07/09/2015 - 09:02
      +9

      Depends on what YOU enjoy doing.

      Like any holiday doing your own research (with input from friends/family/online stories) is probably the best thing before going there.

      While I know most malaysians (or ex-pat) wouldn't disagree with your thoughts above regarding the "r" word, I'll have to say there are lots of things to do there, and lots of friendly people. Malaysia is a very diverse and big country.

      Some examples:

      If you like hiking - Kota Kinabalu
      Shopping - Kuala Lumpur
      Historical sites - Melacca / Penang
      Kids theme parks - Sunway (KL) or Legoland (Johor)
      Arguably the best street food (for food enthusiasts) in the world - PENANG! (yes i am from there!) :)
      beach retreats (yes there are still that are pretty good) - Perhentian / Pangkor / etc
      [I can go on - happy to provide any suggestions if need be - PM me]

      Please do not let any of the local political agenda distract anyone here. It is certainly not the 'cleanest' country on this planet, but Malaysia is still a great place for a visit and from the AA fares above, a perfect stopover as well. With the drop on the OZ$, its still very attractive XE with MYR.

      Back onto this deal, kudos to AA for their constant regular advance special fares.

        Please do not let any of the local political agenda distract anyone here.

        Personally, I would be keeping a close watch on the political events, especially if you are not caucasian. Malaysian politicians are more talented at inflaming situations rather than calming situations down. There is potential for race riots, particularly as part of the racially divisive 16-Sept rally.

        It is certainly not the 'cleanest' country on this planet, but Malaysia is still a great place for a visit

        Are you looking for a prize in understatement? Prime Minister Najib Razak is linked to the murder of Shaariibuugin Altantuyaa and has responded to $700m of 'donations' in the bank by sacking investigators?

        It is sad to see a country ruined by greed and corruption.

        • ausooi on 07/09/2015 - 17:36
          +1

          Definitely not looking for any prizes here, just wanted to respond without skewing away from this 'bargain' deal.

          I am well aware of the items you listed, and do not disagree. Should probably continue this 'Razak' and his 'donations' events on some other forum instead. :)

          oh yes, speaking on all the potential 'threats' to any particular country, I highly recommend the smarttraveller gov website. One thing good is that one can subscribe to the country of your choice if there is any changes. For malaysia for instance: http://smartraveller.gov.au/zw-cgi/view/Advice/Malaysia

        Always use a checklist when packing to make sure you do not forget anything. Sorry, my bad! Actually, I do not think women with penises will get treated any better. No seriously, it is bad out there. You'll really have to remember to bring your BF/husband along next time. Just don't call him by his pet name when in public.

        But hey, I've been discriminated in Malaysia at times because I do not look Chinese, at times because I do not look Caucasian (depending who's discriminating), in Las Vegas because I look Mexican, in Hong Kong because I do not look Caucasian or Honk Konger. However, the ignorance of this minority will not stop me from traveling to visit these countries as they still great places to visit.

      I agree. I have tried hard to have it as a holiday/stop over destination, but have given up. I hate the attitude of a lot of the non-Chinese people. And now every time I transit KL airport I am reminded of it. EG I once had strips torn off me by an arrogant security screener because I sat a small bag into a tray for the Xray rather than putting it directly onto the conveyor belt. WTF!!??

      • [Deactivated] on 07/09/2015 - 11:59

        Oh thanks for reminding me of the service in Malaysia, including at the airport… oMG atrocious!

        Racism is one thing, but the level of general service is bad enough for me to reconsider.

        Some here are saying "friendly people"… Maybe if you're not Asian (I.e. a Chinese Malay looking person).

        I'm just saying this based on my experience.

        On a sidenote, I enjoyed Philippines waaay more. People seem to care about their jobs so try to do a good job (rather than the "I don't give a faaaa let me check my phone Facebook a bit before I serve you" attitude I got often in Malaysia).

        If it is regarded as an undesirable destination then any price is not a good deal. Each to their own though, I'm sure many people would love those destinations, and many wouldn't. I was just expressing a view, one that might give others who haven't been there pause to think whether they would enjoy the experience or not. No matter.

          People travel to different destinations based on personal preferences. Malaysia is great for eating, shopping, island resorts and LegoLand. The country offers a diverse range of experiences from luxury resorts to jungle trekking.

          Some people may not enjoy it because of the climate and/or culture. You have not indicated any reasoning behind why you dislike travelling to the country.

          @Gershom: On those points it is hard to disagree, especially the institutionalised racism. For example, the PAS Islamic party requires MPs to divorce their wives if they change political parties.

          I also find the discrimination based on perceived wealth and corruption equally challenging. For example Petronas accounts are provided only to the Prime Minister. In 2013, Petronas paid RM732 billion to the government, so the money involved is significant.

          Unfortunately in the last decade the situation in Malaysia has been deteriorating and it is challenging to see a way forward.

          Oh. Yep well from my experience the odd delay (probably caused by fast turn around schedules) and the lack of customer service are worth the discount of the tickets. Some expectations of cut-price airlines are unrealistic, and some people want to sit together but they dont want to pay to pick a seat. I couldn't allow myself to travel as much as I do if I was paying 'Full service' airline prices.

  • Peck on 07/09/2015 - 17:45

    A reminder note, you can build in a little flexibility by booking outwards and return flights on separate bookings. That way if plans have to change, you might still be able to use one of the trips. IE might not have to lose entire trip. (If you book a 'return flight' and fail to take the outwards leg, then the return leg will die)

  • hypie on 07/09/2015 - 17:56

    The food in Malaysia is exceptional, best and safest in Asia (in my opinion). There is so much variety, from every neighbouring country. The nightlife is also outstanding, despite most places closing by 2am. Everything is so damn cheap.

    Sadly, the PM is a corrupt monster.

    Long layover on return. (I can use complimentary lounge pass that came with my Citibank platinum card in KUL).

    Be aware that Air Asia from time to time does change its scheduling… And I'm only half confident that the connection to Goa will actually be as per this booking. (As has happened to me before on booking Syd to Pnh a long way out….)
