Quick question for the Malaysia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers
Is Malaysia worth visiting?

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.
