Dont want to carry too much or too little. Whats the average cash people carry when travelling around Malaysia?
Around MYR 150 daily was my budget when exploring Cameron Highlands. I ate at markets, took Grab or local buses, and paid entrance fees for tea plantations. Staying at guesthouses helped keep overall expenses manageable.
My daily spending in Langkawi averaged MYR 160, including seafood dinners near Pantai Cenang, ferry tickets, and taxis. I booked hotels on the beach, which bumped up costs but made the trip worthwhile.
I spent about MYR 140 a day while staying in Georgetown, Penang. Meals were affordable at local hawker stalls and taxis were mostly Grab rides costing around MYR 8-15. Staying at budget hotels like Red Inn kept lodging costs low.
Traveling in Kuala Lumpur, I found that around MYR 150 daily covered decent meals, Grab rides, and entry to attractions like the Petronas Towers. Food courts near Bukit Bintang offered plenty of budget-friendly choices which helped keep costs down.
