[Essential Items]

Southeast Asia has a hot climate all year round, but public places have adequate air conditioning. So dress lightly and have shirts and pants ready.

If you enter the Grand Palace of Thailand, you are required to wear long trousers or knee-length skirts with sleeves, T-shirts or shirts. Men must wear pants and jackets with sleeves. Neither men nor women are allowed to wear slippers. When doing water sports in Pattaya, you need to wear board shorts or suit shorts and flip flops.

Bring a swimsuit, sunscreen, sun hat, and rain gear; at Genting Casino Malaysia, men must wear T-shirts or collared shirts, and slippers are not allowed. There are no requirements for women. Due to customs and environmental protection reasons, foreign hotels generally do not provide slippers, towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes and other self-provided items.

In addition, please check whether you are bringing the following items: steering stopper, sunglasses, umbrella, swimsuit, cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, band-aid, Fengyoujing, Zhengqi water (to prevent heat stroke), calculator (when possible Used for bargaining if you don’t speak the language), film, batteries, luggage lock, camera, fanny pack, motion sickness medicine, pen and notepad, mosquito bite medicine.

[Tip payment]

Currently, people at home and abroad are concerned about tips. Chinese people understand that tipping is a reward for good service. If the service is good, you should tip, but if the service is bad, you should not tip, which is not accepted abroad.

Real tipping countries believe that tips are rewards for services. As long as you provide services, you should get tips, because some occupations in these countries have no wages or low basic wages, and tips are their wages, such as Waiters in restaurants, bellhops in hotels, delivery people, tour guides, etc. Of course, if they harm the interests of guests, that's a different story.

This kind of concept is unacceptable to the Chinese, but as the locals do, you must adapt to the tipping concept in Southeast Asia (the same as in Europe and the United States) to avoid conflicts.

Extended data

1. Compared with China, Malaysia has summer all year round and is very hot during the day. In the past, some places in northern China were unbearably hot and had strong ultraviolet rays.

2. Now when going to Malaysia, you need to bring Huoxiang Zhengqi, mosquito repellent oil, sunscreen with SPF30 or above, long-sleeved shirts, anti-UV sunglasses, sun hat, etc. If you have bad skin, be aware of UV ray allergies. Remember to bring gastrointestinal laxatives to treat eating disorders and acclimatization to prevent acclimatization. There is also rain gear as the weather changes a lot.

Finally, be careful along the way. The map of Malaysia is not perfect, and various signs are different from domestic maps. Identifying Malay place names and addresses is even more difficult. If it’s convenient, you can go to Malaysia by yourself and then find a local travel agency. It's best to have a local escort. Even if you want to go by yourself, you should consult a local escort first. Local workers in Indonesia often rob pedestrians with bags, so you must be more careful.
