Some say you’ll only see someone’s true colours when you travel together — and for this Malaysian woman, that couldn’t be more accurate.
A Malaysian woman recently shared how her dream trip to Bali turned into a nightmare after she was left to cover the costs for three irresponsible friends.
A costly holiday with the wrong company
According to Mstar, she opened up about a frustrating experience during a holiday with three so-called friends who, in her words, completely took advantage of her generosity.
She claimed that while she had brought along RM1,000 for the trip, her three travel companions only had RM500 each — and somehow expected everything to be magically covered.
“One of them even claimed she was an accountant but didn’t bring her wallet,” she wrote, adding that she ended up footing the bill for the driver, boat rides, and other travel expenses.
With her money stretched thin to cover their costs, she didn’t even have enough left for her own shopping.
Beyond just money, she said her clothes and make-up were also freely used by the trio, adding to her frustration.
But the real blow came after the holiday ended.
Branded ‘stingy’ for asking her money back
After returning to Kuala Lumpur, she decided to ask for the money she had spent on their behalf. But instead of being repaid or even thanked, she said they called her “stingy”.
“When they needed help, I gave without hesitation. But when I asked for it back, I got judged like that,” she wrote, describing their behaviour as “terrible” and calling them out for having “faces that matched their attitudes.”
Reflecting on the experience, she expressed relief that the friendship had ended, saying she no longer associates with them.
During the trip, they dressed so vulgarly. But in front of their parents, they acted all pure and innocent. So annoying. Thank God I’ve gotten rid of those friends,” she said.
Travelling with the wrong people can turn a dream trip into a nightmare — so always choose your travel buddies wisely.
