Malaysia

Planning a trip to Malaysia and looking for the best eSIM to stay connected? In this complete guide I compare the best eSIMs for Malaysia in 2026, including updated prices, data plans, network information, unlimited data, Fair Use Policies and my honest recommendation.

I have traveled to Malaysia many times over the years and visited most of the best places to see in Malaysia, from Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Langkawi to the Perhentian Islands, Tioman Island, the Cameron Highlands, Melaka and the beautiful Malaysian Borneo.

This is the ultimate guide with everything you need to know before buying a prepaid SIM card in Malaysia in 2026, including where to buy a SIM card, up to date prices, the best 4G/5G network coverage, my recommendation and info about eSIMs for Malaysia.

The best prepaid SIM card for tourists in Malaysia in 2026 is CelcomDigi. For around 39 RM, approximately ~$10 USD, you get 65 GB data, unlimited calls and much better usable data speeds than many cheap unlimited SIM cards in Malaysia that come with a 6 Mbps speed cap.

How to get from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok? Is it worth taking a train from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok or is flying from Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok a better idea? To me it is worth paying a couple dollars more for some more comfort and therefore I booked a flight with Malaysian Airlines.

Looking for a boutique hotel in Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur? Recently I stayed in the KL Journal, a new kind of boutique chic in the heart of the city. This stylish designed place with a modern retro vibe is a lovely boutique hotel if you visit Kuala Lumpur.
