The mean temperature is a pleasant 27.2°C (81 @F).

Language

Bahasa Malaysia is spoken by all Malaysians. Developed from old Malay it has become the unifying national language. English is spoken commonly these days, especially in the main tourist centres.

Currency

The national currency is the Ringgit. The bills are usually issued between 1 and 100 Ringgits while coinage runs from 1 to 100. US dollars are acceptable in a number of the larger tourist centres. Moneychangers readily change most currencies but not always traveller's cheques. Credit cards are accepted by hotels and establishments in larger townships.

Immigration Requirements

Visitors from certain countries require a tourist visa in advance, some can obtain these on arrival at any international airport in Malaysia and some visitors do not require a visa at all. Prices also vary. Passports must be valid for at least six months from the arrival date. Guests are advised to check with their nearest Malaysian embassy or consulate prior to travel or contact our reservations de partment for more information.
