Packing  

Dont Pack Much! 

The shopping is great in KL and you probably won't be able to help yourself spending as everything is still very cheap here.  Also if you purchase too much, you will have to pay excess baggage. 

• Malaysia is a conservative society, so it is best to cover up with light clothing:  long cotton shirts, shorts,  dresses and skirts are best to keep you cool. Try to wear loose clothing for comfort.

• There is a laundry on the 10th floor of the apartments, and room service laundry at the Shangri-la.

• Most places you go to are airconditioned, including trains and taxis, so you can dress up when you go out somewhere special.

• You will need to cover-up to keep scars out of the sun:  large hats, sunscreen and lightweight scarves all help.

• If you are having any face treatments, bring a scarf for your head and face and big dark sunglasses for the first few days, also a shirt with two pockets on the front for your drainage pouches which you will have for the first 2 days.
