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.
To be fair, Malaysia is probably the least religious muslim country. Middle Eastern tourists go there to have fun. But not everyone in Malaysia is muslim, and there are bars, nightclubs, etc just like Thailand and no restrictions on enjoying yourself as long as you aren’t muslim. But for nightlife, Thailand is better set up.
