to avoid tourist traps in Malaysia

Some tourists make a few mistakes in their holiday in Malaysia. The result is often unnecessary costs or losses. The article is a distillation of the most common pitfalls to avoid in order to move away from the rough edges of the tourism sector.

free charms or souvenirs
Enjoy a meal in a kiosk or walking into a cafe. In walks a fake Monaco (or nun) with amulets and rosaries in tow. He blesses you, "May Kwan Yin, the goddess of mercy, giveIt is the health, prosperity and longevity, "or other form of deception. He gives you a small amulet or simply a length of" yellow line blessed, and say that it's free. This is not your lucky day, though. After the piece jewelry changes hands, you will be "forced" to make a donation. Sometimes the crooks a souvenir dealer that gives you a chain of "free" key or other collectors have.

TAKING WOMEN
Many trendy nightclubs and hotel discos, especially in Kuala Lumpur and Penang,with women on "Ladies Night", when they packed up to get free admission and a free drink to boot. You're sipping a Bloody Mary and a girl sneaks in tight clothes to you, you presents. A call is made, and negotiated a price, take in a hotel room. She asks you to take a shower and drinks are consumed. In the next minute you are in dreamland after consuming a spiked drink. Your money and precious are all stolen. The authors of this scam is mainlyPhilippines - or tourists, or even a waiter employment contract in the country - whose main objectives are to Westerners.

Rickshaw Bike
In the historical city of Malacca and Penang is a rickshaw is a good way to see the sights. But always agree to see the price and route. Along the way, there are questions to a break for lunch or dinner, or take a detour to another interesting place. Do all these distractions. At the end of the trip, the rickshaw driverDemand his "pound of flesh" for deviations from the original path, and you've blown your budget. (In Penang do not use the meter, but a shipping charge, so that the price agreed in advance before boarding.)

FAKE MUSEUMS
In Kuala Lumpur offer a taxi driver to see, visit a museum or a jade factory. Expect not to see the workers carving and polishing jade pieces in these places. I'm just renovated bungalow in the shops selling jade jewelry accommodated. In any case,These are great places to shop when you want to buy Jade. (I have this fake museum fell capers, when I was in Colombo. Having a motorcycle taxi took me to a so-called gem museum visit. Upon arrival at destination, I was disappointed that it was just a huge retail store with precious stones an underground tunnel entrance fake.)

Massage by beautiful ladies
In your hotel room, we see that the glossy paper offers a variety of massage, shiatsu, the range ofTraditional Thai, what is not. The picture shows a pair of beautiful hands knead again for a customer. to be desired after a hectic day of sightseeing, you're getting for their invigorating breeze, and a call for room service. If the "massage lady" arrives, he turns a blind person or a woman of forty-ish with the built-off to be a gorilla. As the saying goes legal - caveat emptor.

PORN VCD
Sometimes, Kuala Lumpur China Town, you may be approached by a peddler porn VCD adlocal and international celebrities, including politicians involved in sex scandals. The price can range from RM15 to RM30. You can see the famous person in VCD. The purchase. After getting home and tried to play, you realize that's just a blank VCD. They have been cheated!

NUTS AND TOWELS
is the unethical practice of some Chinese restaurants have been around for years that was part of "eating etiquette" was, so to speak. collected before a, walnut meal, shrimp or vegetablesCrackers sometimes served to them without you. After the meal, a wet towel to clean your face and hands are given. Of course, you will be provided for these extra account. If you do not want these words, and she politely said.

TOILET PAPER
Most shopping malls in big cities, selling toilet paper at the toilet. However, always carry a roll of toilet paper or facial tissue paper with you to be safe. Many toilets in restaurants are not economicallysupply.

Batik Painting CLASSES
Nothing in this world is free. On the east coast, in particular, a manufacturing center will offer free classes or crafts of batik painting. Please note that you must buy a piece of cloth. Brush and ink bottle, then just start the lesson.

Night Bazar & Markets
The contract was well written to death in travel writing, but let me remind you again that the bargaining power of tourists in the name of the game isMalaysia bazaars and night markets. China Town in Kuala Lumpur and Penang Batu Ferringhi on Iceland are famous tourist destinations tourist spot prices for collectibles in an increasingly deal. Walk and go to other booths to compare prices. Also always be aware that your imitation Rolex or Tag Heuer watch may stop ticking after a week.

Flights
Hurrah! Cost is just dirt cheap to fly to a certain destination, according to an advertising company. Book online to make, butthe round-trip ticket costs about the same or even more than that of a 'regular air route s. Once again, everyone gets full facts, including increases, if necessary, before making a commitment.
