Even though there are a lot of visitors who prefer to visit Thailand, Malaysia still remains one of the most beautiful countries in Southeast Asia. Usually, people prefer to visit Thailand because they either are on a budget-friendly vacation or they plan to visit just for a short period of time, but this does not mean that Malaysia has nothing interesting to offer. Nonetheless, visitors who actually get to see Malaysia state that this country is one of the best places to spend your vacation and everyone should visit it at least once. Moreover, Malaysia blends together multiple ethnic cultures, different customs, religions, and cuisines, and its geography is very diverse and includes mountains, large island groups, tropical rainforest, as well as fertile highlands.
