Just go to Bangsar, Bangsar South, Mont Kiara, Damansara, Ampang, there's a huge expat community living there. Malaysia is more balanced, I mean we do have night life but nothing too cray cray like in Thailand or other SEA countries. It's suitable for normal living, for young families with kids, or retirees. There's nothing too obscene here, or too extremes, much safer than some other countries too. People are friendlier, and more diverse than the other neighbouring countries, widely spoken English and of course a heaven for foodies.

After spending a year in Thailand and endless party nights and fun, I started to appreciate a more relaxed and laid back atmosphere. Malaysia is sounding more and more like my place.

[@byteme9718]

So how do you think you'll be allowed to stay in Malaysia for a year? Besides, you'll get bored.

[@kopxpert]

My guess is expats in Malaysia tend to mix around with the locals more compare to Thailand (for example), since english is widely spoken here. Therefore expats here probably don't feel the need to hangout with other expats all the time. I could be wrong of course, but that's just my guess.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

They have dependents too like kids and wife. So may not hangout by themselves.

[@evindrews]

yeah that's definitely the vibe I get here in malaysia. Malaysia seems so normal compared to other asian countries from a western perspective, easy to just "integrate"

[@brothersman524]

I'm from the UK myself, and been to Malaysia 6 times and Thailand 4 times. Even though I have visited islands in Thailand that is known for its parties such as Koh Phangan, Koh Phi Phi and Koh Samui, I would never go to parties, bars and clubs because it isn't my thing. I didn't like Phuket much but loved Krabi though and Koh Lipe too. Both Malaysia and Thailand are amazing countries and you are right about the pros and cons in Malaysia but overall I think Malaysia suits me better on many levels. KL and Bangkok are actually 2 of my favourite cities that I been to and I have travelled to many around the world.

[@Aeybiseediy]

I agree with the lack of local clothes stores here especially in retail setting in KL. My take is because of the ridiculously high rent, its really difficult to survive just by selling niche local brands here, so most seller opt for fully online stores like instagram instead. If you see one in KL, most probably they gonna charge very extravagant amount a piece just to keep the shop afloat, and locals usually don't buy from these stores and we're also not their target audience lol..

One con also is the mindset considering cleanliness, most cheap hotels will not have been maintained well and the cleaning is badly done in most homestays and hotels iv'e stayed in.

As for "local shopping" u need to go to the outskirts of KL or the suburbs. Most locals don't actually shop at the malls foreigners/tourists usually go to in the city centre because it's just way too expensive. Locals still go to those malls but mostly for the atmosphere and to window shop. Actual shopping is done elsewhere

Great video as always, I value your pros & cons series a lot since it was really on point back in your Vietnam series (I live in VN so I could "check" lol). Malaysia really sounds like an ideal place for family vacation, you clarified much of my early doubt thank you!

[@geodarnodan6750]

There' are not many expat communities because KL is not the preferred city for headquarters set up for international companies like Singapore. Another thing is, KL is a hidden gem in SEA. Not many people know about this city and country, so let's keep it that way. As a Malaysian, I would prefer our city kept in current way instead of being filled up with pubs and nightclubs that looks noisy and sinful (like Thailand) because of foreigners. Try to visit Malacca and Penang and their old towns, you might like them.

[@shashah5438]

Yes! Malaysia is more suited for family oriented living as compared to Party life in Thailand

'local shopping' should be done in individual states around Malaysia, outside Kuala Lumpur. But if you still insist in looking for some local shops there are a few places within Kuala Lumpur in which you could do some 'local shopping' for instance, Pertama Complex or Kenanga Mall. Have a go.:)

[@stylomilo420]

There are bars where they sell cheaper alcohols but they are not in the central KL. Try going abit outside of the central like Bangsar, TTDI and Damansara. The average beer price would only be around rm11-20 and a bottle of wine around rm120. Some of the places i can recommend u are; Elephant rock (TTDI), RYU by Lye110 (TTDI), Baratas (Bangsar), Bilique (Bangsar), Brewhouse (local franchise bar) all around KL n Selangor, BATS (Damansara) and also in Mont Kiara and Hartamas where you hv a lot of nice bars/clubs. Also all these places stated are below 30 mins by car from the central.

Good video Skye. I have been checking out Vietnam & Thailand for a while & learned quite a bit, considering never being in either. I like S.E. Asia so much that I plan on going there & never coming back. Problem is, as you obviously know by your comment about 3 month visa being a godsend, staying in either is a real burden. 1 month in Vietnam, 3 in Thailand. Cambodia is much easier, but not my favorite place; no disrespect to the country. It's ok in many ways & the ppl are fine. To each his/her own. So as you know one has to bounce around. I never considered Malaysia simply because I was preoccupied with Thai, V & Cam. I like what I see! #1- 90 day visa. #2- food, I'm a gluten. #3- rent sounds ok, but further research needed. #4- transportation #5- Malaysian food & drink. Don't need western. #6- English widely spoken! Don't expect that either. When in Rome. Sounds like an easier language to learn than others in region. #7- all the cons you mention are pros. Don't care about seeing other foreigners. Don't object to other foreigners getting together, just not a priority. Less active lifestyle than Thailand is nice contrast. Thailand is great & a stone's throw away. I look at the region as a great source of variety. Agree 100% w you on little mom & pop stores!!! I love that. Chain stores certainly have their advantages, but not at the cost of cutting out the little guys. Even if prices are higher, nothing beats that personal touch. I believe Malaysia will play a big part in my travels. I'm 67, married & in pretty good shape for my age. I have my priorities & offset them by handling what most ppl consider burdens. Low rent is import, but not by sacrificing quality of life. I'll walk up 5 flights if it's a nice place. Not near public transportation, no big deal, older building, not much English, no convenience store nearby...you get it. Alcohol is expensive in bars, but bottles in liquor store I assume are more than other countries in the area, but much more affordable than the bars. Right? I will be checking out whatever other videos you've done on Malaysia. Is K.L. much different than Singapore? Let me know! & any other input you might have for me. 👍🇲🇾

This country is family friendly. No weed here unlike thailand. But for partying and drinking better to visit bali or thailand. There are a few islands here that are tax free islands eg pangkor, langkawi. Yes visa is free, also you did not mention we never charge atm withdrawal fees like some countries in south east asia. But the sin tax is imposed on alcohol and cigarettes. To control consumption. Food and transport is never an issue here depending on what food you eat.

expensive alcohol is not a con in my opinion ... dont want Malaysia to turn in to rowdy, noisy place where ppl are causing disorder. leave that crap in europe

@skye samuels hey i watch your vidoes as i do value your opinion and value your advice, more of the city and places you're speaking of would be better than an 8 min video of seeing you speak. More footage of places, food, markets, etc makes it more interesting.

[@randhirsharma3870]

Well done

Hi, I'm also planing to move to malaysia, but one thing I would like to know before the final decesion. How does the Medical Insurance work or how much it cost? Thank you

Note: The 3 months tourist visa is for Brits but not even for all Europeans for example.

[@malcolmadams440]

Why would anyone fly half the way around the world to meet Brits?

[@joshuakelly997]

Very good info

[@haleshakerifar5521]

Alcohol is pretty expensive compared to Thailand.. I paid approximately $11 for a pint of Tiger in Changkat.

Hello, it would be lovely if you visit Bangi there might not be the perfect place but I really recommend it 👍💗

[@SkyeSamuels]

Hi Skye, I just came acrosd over your video. I am a German-Turkish expat living in New Zealand currently. My partner (a new zealander) has to travel for his job quite abit. And he got an offer to work in Kuala Lumpur for 2 years for the company he is working for. It came out of the blue tbh and it makes me quite nervous as I don't know about the culture and finding a job and well the food option in supermarkets (I have a few allergies 🥲). Could you tell a little bit more about how it is to live/work there? I heard Muslim is the main religion their. Coming myself from Muslim origins I know how friendly but also very strict people can be (I hope I don't offend anyone here😣). Could you tell more about how it is to live there as a woman? Thank you for any advise!😇

Birader Asya'nin kendine has kültürü geregi ortadogulu müslümanlardan farklilar. Orda kimse tavuğuna kış demez , bizdeki müslüman algisi direk ortadoğulu müslümanlardan dolayi öyle .

[@sobanoodlez9372]

You wanna find expats, check out the Mont Kiara area or Desa park City if you wanna venture out a bit further

[@cindypodlipny136]

Where is it best to meet expats in Mont Kiara? I am moving there in 2 weeks 😊 very excited!

Do those great gyms have a swimming pool and sauna and steam room and whirlpool hot tub?? or it's too much to ask for?? with the expected lower prices than one could find in the west??
