Homestay Malaysia, Experience a Kampung Life

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 22, 2010 -- In Malaysia there are two types of homestay. One is a comfortable guest house that is rented out to guest by house owner for daily, weekly and monthly rate.

This is a new industry in Malaysia and the number of house owners who have converted their houses into homestay is increasing day by day. The location for this type of homestay is normally in town or suburban area such as Ipoh, Kangar and Parit Buntar.

Another type of homestay, the host house is normally located in "Kampung" or village area surrounded by beautiful hills and padi fields. You still need to pay for your accommodation and other extras, but you will have the opportunity to enjoy "Kampung" life.

You could follow the locals for a fishing trip, enjoy cool "Malay" folk dance, prepare your own dinner or simply enjoy the idyllic kampung life. In the evening, you could have fun playing traditional games such as kite flying, top spinning and congkak. Your host might arrange that for you. This type of homestay experiences is much more fun. One way to runaway from the hustle and bustle of the city life.

The "Kampungs" or villages that run this type of homestay have been carefully selected by Tourism Malaysia. This is to ensures that you will truly experience a wonderful "Kampung" lifestyle while staying there.

Please note you need to adhere to local customs when you stay at a traditional homestay.

1. No shoes or sandals when you enter the host house.
2. For guys, no hugging and kissing the ladies there. You might get in trouble.
