travel costs could vary greatly depending on the type of comfort you are aiming for. You could go up to the few hundreds in Ringgit per day if you stayed in high end places or if you choose budget hotels it could be less than a hundred per day.

for food, it's similar too. if you eat out at restaurants with good service and atmosphere expect to pay lots more than if you were to eat at the street hawker stalls.

as for a must visit, I would say it depends on your likes and dislikes. if you like islands, go for Penang/Langkawi during this period. If you come later, after the monsoon, you can venture over to the east coast for islands like Pulau Redang/Perhentian.

reply if you need more info.
