Getting to Malaysia couldn’t be easier with six international airports and over 35 international airline carriers flying routes to and from the country. The north of Malaysia shares a border with Thailand, making for easy land crossing between countries. In the south, Singapore is easily accessible and to the east, Borneo.

Roads in Malaysia are quite good and well maintained for the best part, making road travel an alternative option. With a new highway built in recent years spanning from Singapore all the way through to the border with Thailand, traveling into Malaysia by car or bus is a pleasant experience.

Traveling to Malaysia by train is possible from Thailand and Singapore. Malaysian Rail services the whole country. The rail network travels from the very south to the north border with Thailand. International trains travel through the border, making for easy travel routes.

The idea of long distance travel by bus does not usually appeal, but VIP buses that compare with first-class seating on international airliners service Malaysia. Plus Liner is a luxury coach company that has bus routes between Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.

The capital of Kuala Lumpur is home to a fantastic international airport that has been voted the world’s best twice. The airport services countries throughout the world and has over 20 million passengers pass through it each year. Cheap flights are available from Air Asia for travel between Malaysian cities and many neighboring countries.

Being surrounded by water and home to many islands, it is no wonder Malaysia has many ferry services available. There are daily ferries traveling between Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
