  • Months 30-31! We weren't planning to stay in Ipoh this long, but this is where we found ourselves when interstate travel in Malaysia was banned due to Covid. And what a great city to spend two months! We'll show you our activities, food adventures, housing, and cost of living in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia!

Glad you spent 2 months in Ipoh although it's also unfortunately during MCO. Did you tried the addictive Cendol that Greg and Jumi can't get enough of? Haha

    1. Ipoh should be considered for anybody thinking of retiring in Malaysia. Prices are lower than KL. It's not busy. But it has nearly all the services and facilities of a major city.
    2. To the west lies Pangkor Island. To the east, Cameron Highlands. And there are frequent rail services to Penang and KL. You're not isolated.
    3. I would recommend the retiree settle into a gated community. Get a small car. And join some club.

      U guys enjoyed your first stay in Cameron Highlands. Have u heard of Fraser's Hills, Bukit Tinggi n Genting Highlands, a themed park? All these r lovely cool places but not like Cameron Highlands with tea, veg n fruit plantations..D roads to these places r either from Perak to Cameron Highlands n from Selangor to Fraser's Hills, Bukit Tinggi n Genting Highlands. All these cool places r located in Pahang. 😁🇲🇾😁
