Why would I leave THAILAND for Kuala Lumpur MALAYSIA?

#kualalumpur #malaysia #malaysianfood
I recently visited Kuala Lumpur Malaysia for the first time. It was more than a visit though, I was scouting it out. I will explain why in this video.

KL to me is like Singapore but a lot cheaper. Probably one of my most favourite affordable cities in Asia and I’ve been to all of them from Tokyo down to Singapore. KL besides the affordability factor has a certain small city charm, but big city vibes, the fact that English is widely spoke doesn’t hurt, a hold over from their British colonial days. In a nutshell I’d take KL any day over Bangkok.

I'd rather live in KL than BKK. The language, the people (Thai people are friendly too), the food, the cleanliness, and the place I will move to, TRX Exchange, has first-world infrastructure. BKK is too chaotic for me; the Grab service isn't reliable, the traffic is insane, the thousands of cables on the streets are all tangled up and all over the place, and they hardly speak English. I'd visit BKK, but I wouldn't make it my home.

I spent a month in Malaysia; KL, Penang and Kuching (Sarawak.) I loved the place. Loved the food, the people, cleanliness, English speakers, and all the rest of it. I loved it so much that I applied for the long term visa in Malaysia. Then, I started to watch some videos about Thailand. Videos were all nice. I planned a one month trip to Thailand. I was thinking about settling in Thailand instead. I'm writing this message from Hua Hin. Sorry to say this, but compared to Malaysia I find this place to be a hell hole. Not clean, too much of negative vibe. Too much sex trade, it's pathetic. I don't find the people to be friendly at all; just give me you money type of deal. I haven't found the food to be half as good as Malaysia or even Indonesia for that matter. To be honest, if my airline would co-operate, I'm thinking about spending the rest of my trip in Malaysia.

[@SSxxx18]

I work in Spore. I drive up to Msia for food, at least once every week. I ve been to Thailand 6 times, mostly around Chiang Mai (mostly on mission). I love Thai food, but it is nothing like the ethnic variety and depth like in Msia. As for friendliness, while Thai smiles are famous, I prefer the Msian simplicity, probably cos the people are materially more content. I especially love to see the harmonious mixing of cultures of major ethnic groups, unique to Msia. I love Thailand. But hv zero desire to travel to Thailand for holidays.

[@zanzillahsaruji9966]

If you are still single Thailand is more suitable for you if you know what i mean. Malaysia is a multi racial country where different races live peacefully. Food, healthcare, transportation and accommodation is cheap and one of the best in the world...

Very nice video. I like the way you positioned yourself off center and it came off very natural like we just stumbled into you on the street and had a nice conversation. I’ve been watching you since you arrived in Thailand and stayed at the quarantine hotel in Bangkok and always enjoy your videos. With this latest video though I notice better and better techniques. It’s impressive how much you’ve learned. We spent two weeks in KL last winter and liked it but really missed Thai food. We’re in Chiang Mai right now for a month and really like it here. We’re retired and enjoy traveling around mostly Thailand for several months each winter except for border runs but still keep our small house in the Adirondacks in upstate NY. We may check out Jomtien next month after watching your videos.

[@SSxxx18]

Believe it or not... I recognised this word Adirondacks. I learned it from my geography lessons in school in Msia. I love driving all over America. And have covered the New England States in a week, several years ago.

Malaysia was part of the British colony until 1957. English language is a mandatory subject in the school system.(not sure about now). This is the reason why most people are able to communicate in English. Great and affordable place to live as compare to Canada or America.

[@GreenyTravels]

Yes. I agree.

[@amiryazidali7659]

English and Malay language are compulsory subjects to be learned in schools . Both are taught for 11 years😊😊Unfortunately many Malaysians are not as fluent it should be because they have to also learn either Mandarin, Tamil or arabic. 😂 Thus majority of Malaysians are bi-lingual and a high percentage are tri-lingual💪🦾

[@leealex24]

Malaysia has 3rd best English Proficiency in Asia. If you talk about KL, I would say it ranked at among the top 1 - 2 cities in Asia with best English proficiency. Many Malaysians depends on their ethnicity also speak Malay, Mandarin, Cantonese etc.

[@pegangagamakeranaitusiapak576]

English is another subject to be taken in Malaysia as one of an added value in education .

Thanks that was great information. We've been to Malaysia a few times in the late twenteens visited Penang and Ipoh but didn't spend much time in KL.

Why settle in one place unless tied down by others?

Right decision sir ..

[@dlhanson51]

An excellent idea! My wife is Chinese Malaysian (51 years married) and she grew up in KL. They offer 90 day tourist visa exemption. They don't like full time retirees though. But for 90 days at a time it is great!

Come come during the burning season. U can take a train from Thailand to Penang for a week then to taiping for a few days then to ipoh for a few days then to KL. All by train. Then maybe a week in KL, and to Melaka (historical city) then back to KL before heading to the east coast cities like kuantan then to kuala Terengganu to Redang Island then back by plane to KL. While in ipoh you can head up to cameron Highlands. And while on the way to Kuantan you can head up to Genting Highlands while is about 45mins from KL city. All in at leisure you can spend about a month .

[@GreenyTravels]

That would be a hell of a road trip. Thank you

A nice short, straight, simple sharing. I listened twice. It is not superloaded with information. But the points are accurately put. I agree with even the point about food. I hv been to Thailand 6 times, and ...sure, i enjoy Thai/Vietnamese food. Still, i thinkMsian food is of no less quality, and is unmatched in the richness and depth, reflecting the mix of ethnicity and cultures. Juz my opinion. It took me last two years of travelling into Msia for about 60 times to learn that (i drive up from Spore).

Most of March this year is the Muslim fasting month. Some Muslim F&B places close during the day & open just before sunset/breaking fast. Or they close their places for the full month & do biz at Ramadan bazaars/pavements all over the city 🌃 Things get chaotic close to sunset because people going back after work + people looking for food to buy for breaking fast. Hotels & restaurants do breaking fast buffets 🌃 Other food places open as usual.

If you are trying to get away from the smog/haze, unfortunately Malaysia and SIngapore are usually affected as well, as it is usually during the South-West wind season.

Because Singapore gets the smoke from Indonesian and KL is much north whereas Thailand has its own burning season.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Singapore and kl is affected by indonesia's non stop burning since 1997. There are lesser now with jokowi as president. But he is stepping down. They burn sumatra and kalimantan. So if the wind blows here , definitely kl will be affected.

[@paulhefner2813]

I live in Malaysia and I have been here for 5 years. I use it as a home base as I have the 10 year mm2h visa. I am grandfathered in to the old rules so I will keep the visa. No reporting and easy access in and out of the country. No talk of taxing global income yet. Can be uptight in certain regions as it does have some extremists. In general, I find the food better in thailand than malaysia. Less beautiful women here in Malaysia. KL is a great city and hotel prices are usually much lower here than in bkk which is becoming expensive, but not crazy. I think, in general, seafood is better in Thailand. Best food here, imo, is the indian food. I know a few good chinese restaurants but it is hit or miss. Malay food is not quite healthy but it is inexpensive and the malay people are usually friendly, but do not want to be your friend. Right now malays are boycotting almost all western food places as if they are supporting the war. craziness, but i can always get a seat. Not many good thai restaurants in malaysia. Rarely see roti in Thailand. Wish more malaysians knew how to cook eggs. Langkawi is a nice place if you like the beach or eastern malaysia or the east coast of peninsular malaysia. It is a muslim country so you always need to be alert concerning dress, alcohol and pork in certain locations. Just this week Thailand finally found a way to give me the LTR visa in the penang consulate. I hope it works. I think that your housing is better here than in Thailand. Many places have full facilities. If your son wants a visa then if you have mm2h he can get one until 35. It really depends on what makes you happy. I like hearing massa massa for a few weeks and seeing beauties then thailand is the place. Malaysia is less crazy and usually better facilities. Both are great places!

What airlines do you recommend from Thailand to Kuala Lumpur?

[@GreenyTravels]

I took Air Asia. It was fine

[@samhashim]

For good exsperience and good view seesing you can cross by train from bangkok to hatyai. And hatyai to padang besar. Padang besar dirct train to kuala lumpur central

[@ReallyRileyTravels]

Kuala Lumpur is high on my list, thinking about 2-3 months per year to escape Thailand.

[@GreenyTravels]

I’m considering the same.

Do you regret purchasing a condo vs renting in Thailand?

[@tonedonovan3500]

Well they have sharia law. I've heard that tourists had been taken to police station and beaten with sticks because they were too drunken publicly - and before I went there 2 girls had been beaten with sticks 19 x each for kissing in a car. Not that I planned to kiss girls - I was there on a stop over and to overcome jetlag on my way to Australia. On my way back I was in a rainforest and on the beach on 2 different locations. The first was packed with local families - all the woman dressed in black tanquinies from bottom to top. And then me white with bikini - no- I felt I at least have to top with a big T-shirt. It was a massage place - but it written: not allowed for Muslims. Imagine you cant take a massage at the beach if you want to - in your own country. In the other hotel I had to move to another room because I wanted a glass of wine to my food. In KL I went on a hopponoff bus - but it was tons off cars - it felt really polluted - so you where lucky. I did just see a few people seem like alcoholics - but I see several young people with plastic bags sniffing glue. It's probably not a forbidden sharia thing. I agree - people where friendly and unlike many other muslim countries you see lot's of woman on the streets. But I felt the sharia " lurking under the surface" Felt much more free and happy in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and even Cambodia

[@GreenyTravels]

Great points. Thailand definitely much looser

[@MojoZ20]

ohh man 😓 ..u really spreading a whole bunch of fake news, big stuff u know $hit about. Google these up - aint no "Shariah laws" in Malaysia, other than limited "conventional secular" laws imposed on our muslim citizens (which still doesnt make them "Shariah laws" sheeshh 😅And on which tabloid newspapers did you pick up the drunken tourists being caned stuff ?? time & date, please, if these exist for real. in any case, it sure sounds KL doesnt need your "type" tho. so, fine...just linger around/about in thailand, vietnam, laos, then 👐

@@GreenyTravels I'm not into fake gormet burgers. Its fast food, in the states, In&out and five guys and iny of the competitors aren't amazing Burgers that rival a burger I can make, and they take way to long to aquire so I don't ever bother with that crap. We have 3 In & outs in my city, ones a half mile from my house. Last time I was at one of them was like 30 years ago. Took my son to 5 guys 9 years ago and thats the last time I went there. Fast food should not take 30 minutes to get from order to in your hand or anything close to that time. I did "Door dash" 5 guys a year or so ago and it was ok.

I really don't care if foreigners do not like my country Malaysia and don't want to come here if they just want to party ,drink and f around. Anyway ,if they do come ,we Malaysian are very welcoming and hospitable. We accept them for what they are. We don't want to be like Thailand or any other countries dying for the business but have to put up with all the nonsense. We prefer those who come to enjoy whatever there are ,respect and accept us for whatever we are.

So permit me to summarize... the air is better... food is good and its a clean, orderly, not too chaotic city.... Sorry Greeny... sounds dull to me... The whole reason that 85-90% of the guys flock to Thailand is the entertainment.. and you offer a tiny little strip of bars in Kuala Lumpur?? .. and oh.. there are some good looking girls around.....?
