We 're very sorry about the alcohol price in Malaysia that damn high, this because Malaysia constitution are Islam, actually are not really welcome all kind of alcohol, but due to there is also non-Muslim in Malaysia, the govt just allow it...however it prohibited for Muslim.

I lived in Malaysia with my family when I was a child from 2006 to 2010. I loved it and miss it tremendously. I miss the vibe, the laid back family friendly cosy vibe. The food, the nature, the people... I had an amazing childhood there. It must have changed a lot from since then... we lived in Lankawi, Putra Jaya and Kuala lumpur. I hope to move back one day.

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.

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.

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. Public toilets are a nightmare too. In comparison, in Vietnam or Thailand for example you will get an impeccable hotel room for half the price.

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.

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

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.

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.

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. If you go to bukit bintang to shop, it will be expensive compared to outskirt of town. It is like 5th ave new york city.

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. 👍🇲🇾

Funny how westerner's want to have an "exotic" experience but don't want to live the exotic life style. Lady you are in a country with it's culture and history and beliefs, why do you look to find a low cost sunny version of your own lifestyle. ... I am always fascinated by this type of vision . We can find the same type of comments for any country that has it's own personality 😂😂😂

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!😇

@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.

That depends on the area. The Malay Muslims are racist and prefer to live separately so depending on where you live, dog ownership isn't an issue.
