Description

Kuala Lumpur is somewhat similar to Bangkok as it is one of the more affordable cities in Southeast Asia. Worth noting that it is mainly a Muslim country so it is a lot more convervative than Thailand. Fom a travel perspective KL is super connected because it is the base of Asia’s biggest budget airline so you can pretty much fly anywhere from KL. It is quite tropical so weather is hot and humid so make sure your Accom has AC.
