 Rating:  - Excellent travel guide as usualAs travel guides go, this one combines three very different places... first there's Singapore with its very modern outlook. Then there's Malaysia bridging the vibrant outlook of Kuala Lumpur with the colonial history of Georgetown. Finally there's Brunei which is a whole lot more laid back. In terms of contents, there's the usual details of history, etiquette, sights etc. There's also the usual combination of excellent maps with only the occassional mistake where a particular landmark has been put on the wrong side of the road. Restaurant and accomodation advice are as usual mixed (many are gone by the time you visit) but it certainly provides good ideas if you are struggling to find somewhere, and also tells you the general ...

We visited Singapore and Malaysia in July 2007 and since our last visit to Malaysia was 3 years ago, we decided to buy Lonely Planet's 2007 edition on these countries. Information from the book definitely helped us in making decisions on where to go and what to see. My comments are mainly about our one-week visit to Sarawak, which was a great success. In Sarawak, we spent 4 days at Gunung Mulu National Park, and 3 days in Kuching. Colourful banners at Mulu airport urge visitors to "Do Mulu", and after our visit there, we would certainly do Mulu again. The Mulu caves and their surroundings are awesome. The Park authorities should be given top marks for ... Read More: Rating: - A reader from the UKI used this book as the only reference to plan a 2 week holiday and to drive around Western Malaysia. It is stuffed with valuable information and organised in the usual fashion for lonely planet books. After arriving in KL and exploring the city for several days my wife and I drove north to Penang. Then we drove east to Kota Bharu and south via Terengganu and Pahang to Malacca and subsequently further south to Singapore. It is a detailed enough guide and shows the major areas of interest and is suitable for the independent traveller. I recommend it without reservation. The only and minor criticism is that the book is slightly larger than the usual small size guides from Lonely Planet and therefore I had to carry it in a rucksack and not in my pocket. ... Read More: Rating: - A Good Guide to the Major DestinationsMalaysia, Singapore and Brunei are the most developed countries in Southeast Asia, and tourism is a long-established business in the first two. English is widely spoken and travel is easy. More than anywhere in the region, you could even get by without a guidebook - local tourist offices are pretty good for info. That said, if you do want a guide, this is probably the most reliable one for practical details. The 10th edition, published in January 2007, actually seems to have been more thoroughly updated than some previous ones, with some new attractions and accomodation options added - unlike in certain other LP guides, where only prices are changed from edition to edition. Of course practical details may change even by the time the book ...
