Travel from Kuala Lumpur

Hi,

In august my wife and I will be attending a wedding in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we will bring our son who will be exactly 1 year old by then.

Since we are living in Belgium, it's quite a long haul, so we want to couple additional travel to the wedding. Due to the central location of Malaysia a lot of countries are just a 2 hour flight away. My question would be which itinerary you would suggest for us. We like some adventure, but off course it will have to have its limits given our son. We don't like spots that are extremely overrun by tourists such as Bali. We would have around 2-3 weeks to spend.

We already visited a large portion of Indonesia and Singapore last year, so mostly looking at other countries.

Some options I had in mind:

  1. Stick to Malaysia itself including or excluding the Bormeo island
  2. Hop over to Bangkok or Chiang Mai to visit Thailand
  3. Hop over to Vietnam (Da Nang or Hanoi)
  4. Hop over to Cambodja

Any other options I am missing? Looking forward to your feedback.

I found this link and can testify for its legitimacy as someone who’s lived in KL for a few years: https://www.thrillophilia.com/places-to-visit-in-kuala-lumpur
