This is a must-have item!?
Outlet conversion plug
It’s something that’s surprisingly easy to forget when traveling abroad.
Malaysian power outlets are type BF, which is the same as the G type used in countries like the UK.
Depending on the hotel in Malaysia, the shape of the two holes at the bottom of the socket may not be a horizontal rectangle but may be a little thinner and may not fit, so it is convenient to have an interchangeable conversion plug.

A useful item that reduces fatigue when traveling on low-cost carriers.

Sandals
When you’re on the island, sandals will be much more comfortable than regular shoes.
By the way, beach sandals🩴 are sold on the island, but there are limited sizes and designs.
Personally, I recommend the type without a thong as it is easier to wear, but be careful as both types can cause sandal chafing if you are not used to wearing them.

Valuables pouch
It’s not a problem if you don’t have it, but it’s a useful item to have.
It can store ID documents🪪 such as passports and credit cards💳, and can also be used as a wallet, so I recommend it.
To protect your personal information, I recommend a pouch with anti-skimming protection.

Waterproof bag
This waterproof beach bag protects your valuables from getting wet.
It is also sold on Pangkor Island, but the only product I see is the “Ocean Pack," and it’s unclear whether it’s an original product.
When you purchase, the staff will check to make sure there are no air leaks.

Cooler can holder
Drinks bought at the store get warmer and warmer on the beach.
This is an item for those who want to enjoy delicious cold drinks for as long as possible.
It is also convenient because it is considerate to Muslim people around you when you are drinking alcoholic beverages.

If you still have space to pack, this is the one for you.

For insect repellent & insect bites
There are years when mosquitoes🦟 and flying insects appear in large numbers, and fire ant nests can occasionally be found along some parts of the beach, so insect repellent spray is a must.
For those with sensitive skin, there are also wearable types such as insect repellent rings.

Things to keep in mind when giving gifts

The commonly heard word “Halal" is an Arabic word meaning “permissible" in Islamic teachings.
It refers to the general aspects of Muslim life, including not only food but also clothing, behavior, and other aspects of life.
Conversely, things that are forbidden are called haram.
If you become friends with a Muslim person in the area, be careful not to give them alcohol or foods (including sweets) that contain pork extracts, or clothes or accessories with designs reminiscent of a cross.
