Don’t forget to buy Malaysian Ringgit before travelling to Malaysia
Planning a trip to Malaysia? This multicultural country invites you to discover Asia, delicious cuisine, and breathtaking landscapes. To ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey, it’s wise to familiarise yourself with the country and its local currency, the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). While many of your expenses can be paid by card, there are times when cash will be required. We recommend exchanging Swedish Krona (SEK) to Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) before departure to ensure you arrive with sufficient local currency.
Practical tips for planning your travel budget
Tipping is not customary in Malaysia, but it is always appreciated. You’ll need some cash on hand if you choose to tip, which is why it’s best to exchange your currency prior to departure. A good benchmark is a daily budget of 144 MYR, which should cover accommodation, one or two meals, and local transport.
If you decide to explore Malaysia’s rich cuisine at a mid-range restaurant, you can expect to spend around 30 MYR per meal—an excellent value for the quality of food on offer.
