However, I think of it more as their Key West, Florida with out Duval street and the 24/7 loud music, etc. Buzios is a great place to go for nightlife. There are tons of bars, clubs, and restaurants that stay open [...]

Stop at Pangkor Town, the little picturesque town of narrow streets and corner coffee shops. The Nyonya marble topped tables and antique clocks gracing the walls contribute to its old world charm.
