1 week August 4-11. Suggestions please
I want to go to Malaysia in early August (4th-11th) with one or two friends. I will be flying in from Seoul. I'd like to go to Perhentian Kecil but also want to go to a place that has a decent night life. Can anyone recommend an itinerary or some places? Its only one week so I don't want to spend too much time travelling. Thanks.

Perhentian is on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, and you probably won't find nightlife like what you get in the West in that part of Malaysia. Of course, you get lots of night life places in Kuala Lumpur and Penang, but those are on west coast. The nearest city to the Perhentians in Kuala Terengganu, and the largest city on the east coast is Kuantan. Kuala Terengganu is very staunchly Muslim, so you probably won't get much alcohol there. Kuantan has a Club Med nearby, so you probably can find a bit more nightlife in Kuantan.
If you have a bit more time, fly to Kota Kinabalu. There are nice beaches there, and as there are not that many Muslims, there is a bit more night life than at Kuala Terengganu. I'd recommend going to the beach at Tanjung Aru if you go there, as there are some bars you can drink at that beach. Of course, the night life still can't compare to Kuala Lumpur or Penang, but it's probably acceptable if you're not planning to get really wasted. And you can dive at Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, which is just off the coast of Kota Kinabalu.
