Reflections on Malaysia 2024

From our summer in Indonesia to our winter in Thailand 2024 we decided to stop in Malaysia on the way for a leisurely 40 nights to enjoy the warm hospitality and storied culinary delights of this utterly delightful destination in southeast Asia. We split our time between a first time visit to Johor Bahru — just over the border from Singapore and an easy overland border crossing — followed by a first-time stop in Malacca on the western coast. We return to Kuala Lumpur and the Cameron Highlands, destinations we began to explore on our first visit in 2022.

St. Mary's Residence - Airbnb Apartment — Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

September 27, 2024/ Global Hotel Guys

We stayed in a one bedroom airbnb ($63/night, property link) in central Kuala Lumpur, just a 10 minute walk from the Pavillion shopping area and a 20 minute walk from the iconic Petronis Towers, from September 27 to October 11, 2024. This is a great apartment and we loved everything about it! There’s good, affordable restaurants everywhere! Great location! We’ve already booked a return visit for three weeks in 2025. It feels like home!

We relaxed and rested in our hotel in Tissamaharama, Sri Lanka after several days of a surprise monsoon system! AND we managed to explore the Buddhist temple and get some exercise near the lake. One day we hope to visit the now closed Yala National Park to see the leopards. #tissamaharama #srilanka #yalanationalpark #travelblog #buddisttemple #stupa #lakefront #podcast #travelmemories #travelphotography #videoblog #hotelreview #hotelguys1 #relax 👨🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼 Hotelguys.com (💥 New Update!) 🌏 Global Hotel Guys on Facebook (💥 New Post)

When we booked four nights at this 2.5 star hotel in southern Sri Lanka, we pictured a safari to the Yala National Park. Yet we once again had to surrender to a different vision...this time it was a surprise monsoon that brought a lot of heavy rainstorms for two days! So much rain that the park had to be closed because roads were flooded. It's been nice however to breathe deep and listen to the sounds of nature in the rice fields as we continue to enjoy this beautiful country! 🇱🇰🙏🏽❤️ #srilanka #srilankatravel #travelmemories #travelblogger #yalanationalpark #monsoon #ricefield #hotelreview #hotel#hotelguys1 #blog #lgbttravelers #globalhotelguys #rain #nightsounds

When we arrived in Tissamaharama in southern Sri Lanka, we thought we'd be exploring the Yala National Park and surrounding areas. Instead we've had to surrender and have been waiting for an unexpected wet monsoon system to pass.⛈️💦🌧️ Hopefully we will get into the park on March 3rd! #srilankatravel #yalanationalpark #srilanka #travel#asia #ricefield #sunsetphotography #monsoon #crow #hotelguys1 #tissamaharama #lgbttravel #rain #globalhotelguys 👨🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼 Hotelguys.com 🇱🇰 Global Hotel Guys 🌏 Global Hotel Guys on YouTube
