Reflections on Malaysia 2025
Malaysia sits at the crossroads of our SE Asia playground. After our wonderful visit last year we decided to return for a longer visit at our same Airbnb in Kuala Lumpur and a longer visit in the mid-sized town of Ipoh we discovered on our 2024 visit. After 45 days in the country in the spring, we will return in December 2025 for a visit to Penang and Langkawi islands in the north.
Below are pics from our accommodations. We also did a podcast about our time in Malaysia posted below.
We were here November 14 - December 5, 2025 in a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with full kitchen, covered patio, beautiful yard and pool ($110 per night, Airbnb listing). Completely private fenced back yard with rice fields outside the front door. Loved it so much we are planning to come back for six weeks at the end of 2026. Grab (Uber) cars easily available. Walk to beach town possible. Highly recommend.
