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.
How about alcohol? Afaik it’s much pricier than Thailand (TBH it’s not too cheap in Thailand either nowadays)
Yeah that’s a sticking point. Beer prices in Malaysia are 60% higher than Thailand. But in all other departments Malaysia is probably already slightly cheaper than Thailand.
