Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from May to September. Pack lightweight, breathable clothing, insect repellent, and comfortable walking shoes. Respect local customs such as modest dress when visiting religious sites. Stay hydrated and be cautious of tropical weather. Carry some cash as smaller vendors may not accept cards. English is widely understood, but learning a few Malay phrases is appreciated.
