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.
I spent a month both in kuala Lumpur and bangkok last winter. Kuala Lumpur I absolutely loved. The Bangkok vibe I actually did not like as much. Cool to visit for a week or so.
No need to learn Malay at all. English is spoken almost everywhere in KL.
