Would like to hear why long term expats or remote workers did or didn’t choose Malaysia over Thailand…and for those who did, do you regret it and why?

Also curious if the lack of language barrier was a big decider? and if anyone who chose Malaysia learnt Malay or Mandarin and if it has proven to be valuable in anyway.

*I like both countries for different reasons, just like hearing about peoples experiences.

    Malaysia is a lot easier to get around with English. Food is awesome. Cost of living is cheaper in KL than Bangkok and easier to buy property. Thailand is next door but I prefer the civility of society in KL vs Bangkok. As much as BKK can be a fun place to party, it’s a bit much for a day to day life for me.
