Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
Set up Touch ‘n Go (TNG) eWallet as a tourist: it’s one of the most practical ways to pay like a local for shopping, dining, and getting around (and it pairs well with transport use). Keep some cash for hawker stalls, but TNG covers a lot day-to-day.
2
Use Grab for city rides (Kuala Lumpur, Penang, etc.): it’s built for upfront pricing and is typically easier than negotiating with taxis; airports often have designated ride-hailing pickup points.
