Buy
The currency of Malaysia is ringgit (RM, MYR), which is divided into one hundred itsiin. € 1 is about 4.5 ringgits.
Price level
Malaysia is significantly e.g. Thailand more expensive, but still quite affordable compared to Finland. A cramped backpacker can do with a daily budget of 50 ringgits and by doubling that you can already live quite comfortably. However, Malaysia is a great place to splurge a bit, as five-star hotels are among the cheapest in the world and out of season, a quality room can easily leave with less than 400 ringgits.
Drink money not usually necessary. In more expensive restaurants and bars, prices are often followed by "", ie a 5% tax and a 10% service charge are added to the bill. Some hotels add a 5% hotel tax to this.
