Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
If you're planning anything more than a Kuala Lumpur stopover or a fast overland commute from Thailand to Singapore, Lonely Planet Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei is an essential companion. In fact, clocking in at nearly 700 pages, it may even inspire you to spend extra time in this region, which has only been divided into the three distinct countries since WWII. Encompassing Chinese, Indians, Malays, rainforest tribes, "original people" and sea-gypsies, with their innumerable religions it has one of the most diverse cultures in Asia.
The cover is emblazoned with a turtle and the vague slogan "The adventure starts here". Neither gives you an idea of what you'll find in an area so hard to categorise. Culture ranges from the hi-tech of Kuala Lumpur's Cyberjaya zone or the 88-storey Petronas towers to the ancient longhouse communities deep in Borneo's jungle. You can shop in Singapore's Orchard Road malls or experience the abundant wildlife of Taman Negara National Park in Peninsula Malaysia. You could check out the water villages of Brunei, one of the worlds smallest but richest counties; discover bat caves and orang-utans in Sarawak; climb Mount Kinabalu in Sabah; or check out the incredible diving waters off Semporna.
Lonely Planet Malaysia, Singapore & Brunei is rammed with reasons why the region, arguably the least-fashionable bit of Southeast Asian backpacker itineraries, should be given more thought. One Amazon.co.uk reader complains that the previous edition was disparaging, but Lonely Planet should be praised for their honesty in pre-warning travellers where other guides might gloss over the negative. Equally, this guide puts many of the preconceived notions in context. Yes, Singapore is obsessed by fines and orderliness, but it also has a surprisingly vibrant nightlife, joyous hawker centres overflowing with cheap tasty food and is a fascinating microcosm of Asia. And yes, there is alcohol scarcity and problems for women in some Moslem areas of Peninsula Malaysia, but it is also a very multi-ethnic country. However, popular notions of Brunei being expensive and boring are confirmed--not being a place for budget travellers, it gets just 26 pages. --Sarah Champion

From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years, and as a result has experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money.
From lazing on tropical beaches or boating jungle rivers to tasting Singapore's best dishes or exploring the sultanate of Brunei, this book offers detailed coverage of the diverse offerings of this part of the world. This fully updated guide presents tips on speaking Bahasa Malaysia and a special guide to visiting temples and mosques. --Kathryn True -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

this guide book is essential. if you think about travelling by bus and tour the peninsula, this is the book to get.
Small hints, like to take the 170 bus from Singapore to Malaysia, are included as well as hostels and decent places to eat.

This guide gives a lot of useful information about places to stay/eat.. for all kinds of budgets. However, it seems that sometimes it's more for the alternative backpack-traveller. As a "normal" beach tourist I didn't get a lot of information out of this and found some descriptions about "tourist-loaded", "standard" places much more negative than they were in reality! Don't let the authors' apparent dislike for these kinds of tourist discourage you.

This is the best book that I have found which gives great details about places in Malaysia and Singapore. As an expatriate working in Malaysia, I find this book as a valuable resource when I travel. Recommended.
