MALAYSIA

The mestizo essence

Custom travel to Malaysia

Whether it’s Borneo’s leafy jungles, home to orangutan families, or Kuala Lumpur’s latest monster skyscrapers, or white-sand beaches at the nation’s “lost” island, Langkawi, it’s the perfect scenario for acting out your own King and I that recreates the former Kingdom of Siam, the Malay culture capital at Ipoh or the harbor at Penang.

A famed Malay proverb rues, “a dead elephant leaves behind his tusks; the tiger her hide; humankind only leaves names.”
