Why do you need to choose when you can have both? 😊

I love visiting Bangkok although it is getting more expensive since I first visited the city in early 80’s. Same story with Jakarta where I used to do a lot of golfing excursions. Now in my mid 60’s I mostly stay home in affordable and less hectic KL, enjoying the clean air and knowing that affordable and quality care is near me in case of health emergencies.

I guess by now you would have heard of the "newer version" of the MM2H programme. But you might need a bit of cash with the latest version. Anyway, all the best!

Thais are not keen on Malaysian foods.They are liked Indian food,lots of spices and herbs.There are so many varieties dishes in Thai foods you can choose from,curry,stir fried,soup,grill especially seafood with seafood sauce.I do agree with you about the language,you know why.Thailand had never been colonized by any country.Malaysia was colonized by British so second language is English.

Great that your CZcams channel is growing…congrats on the increasing funds…just a small piece of advice…may want to get 3 months in a row of the bigger payouts from CZcams so you have a cushion before venturing to the other countries you mentioned. It’ll be just one less stressor.

Thailand & Malaysia are neighbors a good one. We respect each others. Love this healthy & harmony relationship between two wonderful nations.

Well known fact, Thailand's accomodation is better & cleaner than Malaysia. In that respect as we've said before. I am sure you can find a nice apartment in Malaysia, KL, they do exist, just may take a bit of searching. I would say it is safer to live in Malaysia, than Thailand, although there is a certain amount of crime in KL. & if you make geniune Malaysian friend's they will help you, in a lot of practical way's & you will have friend's for life. Nice to be by the sea sometimes for a break, personally, i need to be by the sea more often than not. Need to be by water. Yes a lot of bloggers out there, one of my family member's was a famous blogger in Malaysia!! Everyone know's him here in Malaysia now, can't go anywhere without being asked for a photo !! 😅 Keep going Ben, well done! Hard work, i know. & these day's seems to be a lot of competition to keep the content interesting etc. to keep viewer's attention!! KL i would say for you is the perfect base 👍 Nice walk about vlog !!

For beach/island life, try hua hin or koh samet (not far from bkk)

Maybe wearing lighter colors rather than black would help you out with the heat/sweating.

It’s cheaper for you to fly from Malaysia to Thailand, than it is for me to take the train from NYC to Albany, and the dog fee to bring my dog is a flat $39.

Dude, you just build differently. Not to offend you, It’s true that most things in Malaysia are designed for the majority, but that just means you get to enjoy some unique experiences that others might miss. Best of luck, and I hope you continue to find joy in the little things!"

You're right the weather is hot in malaysia.We can take a trip up the mountain to escape the hot weather for a few days. Yeah im talking about Genting Highland , Cameron Highland or maybe fraser's hill.

I disagree.. Thailand is marketed as more exotic than Muslim malaysians.. Period

dude i think its time to stop comparing & contrasting MY vs TH, KL vs BKK rivalry stuff. maybe it draws keen interest & views. Or even Bali vs Pataya or Da Nang stuff. these apple orange thingy are just divisive to us SEA peeps.

Go to Sabah Borneo for a change..and vlog your adventure. Climb Mt.Kinabalu, meet the Orang Utans at the Sepilok Rehab, ride the kinabatangan river, go on Island hops. Lots to do.

Like most, you've walked around Putrajaya and failed to see what's so wrong but was staring you in the face the entire time. Malaysia is, by constitution, a secular country but look around and try and find evidence of that. Putrajaya set out to erase the very existence of the 43% of non Muslim Malaysian citizens. That's abhorrent and unimaginable in any decent, civilised country. Putrajaya is an accurate reflection of what Malaysia really is, that is a Malaysia for the Malays.

I have lived in both. KL for 2 years straight and Bangkok off and on about 5 years straight. I think Bangkok is more condensed everything you need is generally in 3-5 km range. I think the neighborhoods have a more communal feel. KL is more spread out and you need to travel farther for things you may need and require you to use different modes of travel. I love both cities but for that reason I preferred Bangkok. There are other pluses and minuses to each. Either way I look at it Bangkok edges out KL but that can change. If you want a chill beach and my favorite place in Thailand, go to Hua Hin. It's a lot of retired Westerners and the wealthier Thais have beach houses there. I have a guesthouse I used to rent the large room and it has everything you need and straight across from one of the malls and about 50 meters from the beach.

That mall is incredible. Felt like I was in Dubai. Ferraris and Bentley’s parked out front. Lineups to get in to the Louis Vuitton store. Crazy rich Asians. So many 3000 plus purse stores. Was thinking as a male I would have no idea that purse cost 3500 plus USD. Only another woman would. These stores are strictly for woman to dunk on other woman. I could mistake her Fendi bag for a 20 dollar Walmart bag.

Hey Ben, entertaining content! Since used to you live in Berlin. What do you think about Berlin / Germany in comparison?

Malaysian be like: “woooah... You talk about us. Interesting. Let's hear your perepectives and impressions. Good review with respects=likes and subs Bad review with no respect=you don't wanna tread your foot on this territory. So the legend of easy views and subs continues...

Hope you do some videos in Cambodia and Da Nang soon!

I grew up in Bangkok in the 90s going to an expensive high school with local pop stars. What Bangkok does for me is it keeps opening my eyes a little bit more. Just in this video, like glass bricks from the building at 1:50, or the blue Toyota at 8:29 launching in the mid-90s... there's always something new and interesting that does not exist where I'm from, like negotiating with a stranger to run an errand for you for a small fee... everything I know about the world that's good and expansive, I learned in Bangkok. Bangkok is a mess that's been very meditative and spiritual for me, until the last 4-5 years, when Thailand also began to entertain a lot of wokeness and so-called globalist values. (at least they opened up pot, I guess!) The center of Bangkok began to die a long death, trains became inhuman, urban sprawl became extreme, everything you've seen in the West had finally come to Bangkok. I can't be in Bangkok anymore because I'd be arrested eventually for my rage lol... but there's Pattaya and that's still great for me.

Looks like a nice area in Bkk you are vlogging in today. Which area is this?

Thank you for your hard work! It's good to know how things are looking over there. It' appears like a very exotic part of the world. Would you be ok to interview some interesting locals (friends included, lol), to see how they feel, what they think about the world, their country, their music tastes, favorite activities, etc.? Thanks again! You're awesome! Let's goooooooo!

Smart choice living in Malaysia & take a short holiday to Thailand. Just like many Malaysians do. Krabi & Samui are a better choice vs Phuket & Phi phi island.😊

Too condescending and long winded. Should go to the facts directly.

Thailand is a great place to rrelax and have fun. But if u did that every day u might not appreciate it as much. Malaysia is a nice place to focus on yourself and your work maybe because there are fewer distractions. Maybe both places complement each other and u can go back & forth between the two.

would love to see your airbnb review just to see if it is worth it and how much it cost. :)

🥰

Here we go

A state who wants to be ruled by an islamists political party is in worse condition than southern-Thailand

❤❤❤

I love you 😚😙😗😘😍😎😉😆😅😄😃😂🤣😀☺😶😊😍😘😗😙😚

nice video, very informative for me. I've been seriously considering Bangkok and kL for my next destination very soon.

Next time just buy random nasi lemak even the pre packed rm1.50 or 2.00 might taste lots better than Wanjo.

Ben: 'i can easily come to Thailand and see my friends and have a few joints'.

Didnt you can only allow to visit malaysia once per year with max 90days free visa? If you reenter malaysia the second or third time , immigration may question your intention .

Ben.. i thought you are doing a Visa run to Bangkok.. why don't you checkout Ampang area for better Condo when you get back to KL.. only a few LRT stop to KLCC.. i think its better further out but with the same connectivity.. Damansara area looks great.. you can afford it easy..

Paraphrasing Ben: I don't want you to think that Thai women are cheap and *easy*. Also Ben: If you are a single guy ... and you want to go out on dates with (Thai) women it will happen naturally and *easily*. Me: Got it.

Actually Malaysian towns and many places in KL are EXACTLY like the back alley you are walking in. Anyway, got a question for you as you are regularly traveling from Thailand to Malaysia and vice versa. Do you think a customs & currency union between Thailand and Malaysia as a good thing? 😊

try kenwingston platz in jalan gombak, 1800-2200 rm per month

Of course Thailand is better, anything under sub could be done, nothing could beat that

Ben, you could apply for the ASEAN driving license while in Thailand for driving in 10 countries of the S.E.A. region.

It seems Bangkok has bigger Kampung Baru style residential area than KL.

Happy to catch you this evening, Ben. Lovely weather there! Raining here in KL. Wow... looking forward to your always charming walky-talks in India- a country I've been meaning to visit for a live Satsang experience. Stay blessedly happy!

Hey, Ben i love it when you honestly admit you missed Thailand partly for the weeds but didn't complain about the lack of it in Malaysia. The one who is complaining is myself actually, a weed-craving Malaysian.

Presents a "Holier than thou " facade but there is filth under the carpet

You can find Airbnb with kitchen in many part of KL too.
