As a Malaysian, I admire these two American gentlemen.. Andrew Taylor (you) and Andrew Henderson of Nomad Capitalist.. Both of you give so much great informations and kind words about Malaysians and Malaysia 🇲🇾.. Thank you very much.. keep it up 👍 May God bless you and your Earl Grey ❤️..

Hello Taylor, thank you for inviting us into your home and showing it to us...I am still flabbergasted that its only $410 especially with how luxurious it is. Love how you have your flat decorated!

[@Mark-in-Texas]

Thank you for the tour, Taylor. It's good to see the beautiful transformation of M-City once you're up close, and inside. You've previously shown the giant black M-City cube in past videos, and it doesn't give warm and fuzzy feelings. It gives an image of a dark dystopian future where the Terminators have taken over the world, or perhaps of a giant alien space craft that landed, wiped us out and took over the planet. Congratulations on getting more subscribers

[@andrewtaylor4558]

Thank you so much 😊

[@orangewetsuit]

Yes, the overlords have landed, but their Achilles heal, AKA their weakness, which our heroic leader Andrew has uncovered, is their lack or retail space planning and management. Viva the Rebel Alliance!

[@tonray9395]

I miss Malaysia. I have lived in Thailand for the past 8 years but always love my restorative visits to Penang, KL, and hopefully Kuching at some point too. Thailand is great but very much a monoculture and being an American, the multicultural nature of Malaysian society seems to make me feel more at home.

[@hariatizainal384]

You said it,yeah, I was there ( Thailand) for 16 years and have the same feeling like what you wrote ....

[@propertyguru22]

Do you live in Bangkok? I believe the Rent has gone up in the last one year for Condos in prime areas in Bangkok?

[@tonray9395]

@@propertyguru22 Rents in Bangkok have always been sticky, even in bad economic times they never fall. Thai condo owners would rather sit on an empty condo than lower the rent..it's a cultural thing . I live just north of Bangkok in Nonthaburi but am always checking the market and rents have moved higher. KL is a much better deal rent wise for sure.

I used to live here. The pool and gardens is lovely. The studio too. What I love the most is the grocer and pharmacy down there. When I planning my dish, it’s as easy as a button down to go and buy the ingredients you want. But the lack of public transport is a hindrance for me as I rely it 90% for my mobility. Lovely video as always,.

[@propertyguru22]

How far is the public transport from M-City? This is important info, and Andrew did not mention it at all.

I am a 70s female and just found your channel..I like your found and like your style and 😊information. How does your area compare with Jompeir in Thailand? I am living in mexico now and very interested in moving to SEA for a year.

[@andrewtaylor4558]

I’m sorry. I’m not familiar with that area of Thailand.

[@kitty_s23456]

@mary - I think you're referring to Jomtien, which is a suburb of Pattaya City in TH. I've been to Pattaya, Bangkok & Kuala Lumpur. I think BKK & KL are more equivalent, since they're both capital cities. Very busy, bustling & alive. The rents are similar too, as well as cost of living. Pattaya is 1.5 to 2H south of BKK. It's (in)famous for its red light district but it's also a vibrant seaside city. Jomtien is the part of Pattaya which is more suburb/ residential & quieter. There are lots of expats in Pattaya, also many malls & condos. It's a seaside city, so if you want the beach, it's may be for you. Hua Hin is a beach town a bit farther south of Pattaya. It's a smaller town, also has expats but is more laid back.

Whenever I ask agents they seem to be focused only the unit they are trying to rent out to me (not surprisingly I suppose).

Which surprises me really - in London they are really focused on finding you something that you really would like because obviously they are more likely to get a result/commision but agents in KL seem to be much more basic - perhaps they just get so much business anyhow that they don't want to properly work for it.

Hi Taylor! Thx for inviting us into your lovely home. Some questions: Do you have a car? Do they have parking for a car? Or can you get round easily without a vehicle? Is M City quite cosmopolitan? Are there more locals or expats nearby? How much do you think a 3 bed plus maid apartment might cost in this complex? Could you recommend a good bank to use and good realtor to secure a property? If you did not live in M City which other complexes would you recommend an ex-pat could look at? Sorry for all the questions - your videos are tempting me to try for a MM2H visa!

[@calvyncraven1141]

Malaysia is semi pet friendly. Depending on what type of pets and where. Cats shouldn't be a problem. But since we are a muslim majority country, most restaurants prefer you dont bring your dogs into the establishment. You shouldn't have problem bringing your dog for walks if its on a leash. Most appartment doesnt mind you keeping pets but if your dogs bark alot, your muslim neighbors may not like it. However there are many non muslim majority suburbs where dogs are welcomed. In my suburb, i have muslim neighbours who own dogs themselves. However they are a tiny minority. Overall where most foreigners choose to live, dogs are mostly welcome.
