I travelled in Thailand and in Malaysia 34 years ago ! (1990) And that was also my conclusion... Malaysia was already very much underrated compared to Thailand ! So I have to smile when someone today just discovers that fact ! 😉

thailand tourism industry is initiated for overseas tourists, but Malaysia’s was to fulfil local tourists’ needs (except Borneo nature tourism) and it still is. Overseas tourists are of course very much welcome. May be there is one of the reason Malaysia tourist spots look different from Thailand.

Better that way. We don’t want too many tourists destroying our purchasing power.

I was just to book flight to SE Asia but after reading Bali Sun news online very scary the Western tourists are targets by individuals hit and run while waking some have BRAIN damage some broken bones even if on scooters they make you to have accidents reason ongoing war in Gaza Bali increases security on the roads and recommends before coming to Bali to take full comprehensive insurance so it's risky to come to those popular destinations for Westerners and that is understandable people are angry what is going on in Gaza to Palestinian people

❤️💙 from Malaysia 🇲🇾

I recommend Traveloka to rent hotel on Malaysia

As of 2024 fact.3rd most high crime rates in South East Asia

Weed in Thailand 😘 Weed in Malaysia 💀

Although underrated Malaysia still in the 14th spot of most visited countries in the world (while Thailand in 8th spot). Of most visited countries in Asia, Malaysia being No.4 (after China, Thailand and Japan), while in Southeast Asia (of 11 countries) Malaysia becomes No. 2 (just after Thailand). Although Thailand is one step ahead, Malaysia not bad, isn't it?

It's great that Malaysia is under-rated coz we x have sleazy tourism. Everything is wholesaome here

Americans are so used to flying with their dogs within the plane but most other countries dont.

Malaysia gives you the real life experience of the locals. They genuinely welcome and appreciate your visit to their country . They love to be able to please you.

Woww! You are sharp in your comparison.

Thank you for promoting Malaysia 😊

Been to Europe, been to SE Asia. Europe wins all the time.

5:40 Yeah, even one of the most famous Bulgarian writers/poets named Aleko Konstantinov's most famous book is called "To Chicago and back", which tell a sarcastic/satiric/comedic story about him traveling from Bulgaria all the way to Chicago in the USA (keep in mind this happend in 1893 so it was definetly not as fast and easy) where there would be a carnival and then coming back to Bulgaria.

Malaysia is best kept secret. We don't want to be like Phuket or Bali.

Malaysia now are full of illegal immigrant from Bangladesh Myanmar Indonesia Thailand

I totally agree with you all well explained I have been there

Thailand is heaven for those who like to playing around😂😂but not malaysia..quite reserved.

Thank you... proud to be a Malaysian.

Thailand better for travel. Malaysia better to live.

Enjoy ur traveling and stay safe have fun ❤

Crazy how good your content is. Just top notch. You have a gift. Stay with it. Quality like this will explode in due time.

Thanks god we’re underrated we don’t want tourists behave like pricks just like what happened to Bali rn or some place in Thailand and disrespecting our culture and place and yup we do welcome tourists but not lickin to anyone butt but there’s still a lots of travel agencies you could just find btw public transport just accessible from one state to another state the rest is figure it out online, we do have lots of options tho so tourists doesn’t have to be cheapskate to spend for these thing cus what I hate the most about backpackers was the hitchhiking culture nah some just want to be accommodate for free so bad so nope or make locals treat them food you know going around SEA countries for white people is a privilege here and I find it annoying sometimes when these tourists begins to plan their retirement here nah cus bcs the living cost here was affordable than their own country plus they could live here in luxury for having big currency back in their home.

Thailand is yeah definitely overrated 😂

Airbnb is the riskiest way to book places unless you can see it first. Agoda is much better and you can cancel. I live not far from where you were walking in Phra Khanong. Bangkok is not cheap except street food and some rentals. Everything imported very expensive. You are right flexibility is key. I've live in Bangkok 3 years but I am thinking of leaving because everything is a pain in the ass lately.

Traveling with a dog in Asia is cheap and easy because is considered basically like carrying your own food 😜 (Sorry, couldn’t resist 🤷🏻‍♂️😂)

Please keep Malaysia underrated. We do not want prices jacked up because of the tourist booming 😅

I can tell you right now you are not expected to tip AT ALL. No 10% no nothing. You tip only if you want and you decide how much you want to tip. You can leave a few coins or you can tip a few bucks or you don’t tip at all. It depends on you. Usually what we do is we tip depending on how cute was the waitress 😅

Seriously, when I was younger I was feeling like I want to go to Western countries but once I realized the food options in Western countries, I think I will be depressed if I were actually living there hahahaha

I think Street Food here is really more towards food you get from Street where there's usually no or very little seats and probably we usually called it as Roadside stalls (because they literally open on the road side). These food are usually has less value for your money and also like its more of snacks/finger food with less complexity and depth and its easier to prepare or eaten (while you walk) or enjoy back at home. We have these as a "Market" which we called Pasar Malam (Night Market) or Pasar Pagi (Day Market) which maybe closely similar to Street Food which you should explore as almost each Garden/Taman/Housing area has their own once a week Night Market. I don't think its any less impressive than Thailand Street Food if not more impressive. Also, we do have Food Trucks as well that is closely related to Street Food. However, since Malaysia has also a lot of variety of food that has more depth (than just snacks/finger food) that can be properly enjoyed, These proper meals would need to be better enjoy with seatings. For these with some sort buildings we called them Hawker Stalls (or Hawker Center if its a big group of Hawker Stalls) or Food Court (especially in malls) or locally we called it "Kopitiam" especially for chinese and "Warung" I think for Malay sort of very simplified / cheap food. I think these are meant to be more "Comfy" than "Street" and gear towards value meal than Street Food. Of course, we definately have pricer Cafes and Restaurants. Personally, I think food in Malaysia definately is better in terms of varieties and types of food and taste flavour while the ones in Thailand are more towards Spicy and Sourish. Also, you can easily find Thai food in Malaysia as well especially big cities like KL as well as Northern Parts of Malaysia near Thailand. Except of course those some really unique ones where its not easy to be found even in Bangkok (like Northern Thai Food or rural area recipes).

Keep it up man

big fan of your videos! thanks man

Americans are moving to Cambodia in record numbers. th-cam.com/video/UB3ugC7NpRE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uUEYmK7XA8Zgn-X7. People are starting to realize that Thailand is so OVERRATED.

Let it be the hidden gem.. the city is gettg crowded & kL city traffic is getting worst n worst by day

Every Southeast Asian country is so underrated Compared to Thailand. Thailand is the world most overrated country ever. Thai Food also. People are starting to realize that. That’s why Malaysia took #1 spot from thailand. Thailand’s tourism is falling. Crimes are rising in Thailand. Westerners and Chinese tourists are fleeing Pattaya and the Indians are moving in. Pattaya is an Indian town now. th-cam.com/video/EFsag4AmtPw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=byQqkNm46yWz8XzN

I live in both cities, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, being a Caucasian / European. I hold residency in both and honestly, each of these cities / countries has its own character. Bangkok is way more intense, rowdy, noisy and brutal, whereas Kuala Lumpur is more laid back, traffic is less congested and the people are actually smiling more in KL, than in the land of smiles / Bangkok. Both are located in the tropics, hot and humid all year around. Both suffer at times from bad pollution / haze and costwise there isn’t much difference either, Bangkok being more expensive (double), when it comes to housing. And even though Thailand is predominantly Buddhist and Malaysia predominantly Islamic, religion is more within the people’s minds, than it is on the street or in regulations. You will not be confronted in any way with any religious rulings or dealings, if you choose not to be around a mosque or a temple. Malaysians in general are laid back and friendly, hospitable and interested to meet foreigners, with a good command of English, whereas the Thai in general are a bit more reserved and English is not widely spoken everywhere. When it comes to the stereotyping of sex tourism, of course Bangkok is in the face, but don’t be mistaken, Kuala Lumpur has its’ massage parlours and prostitution as well. It is just less visible, but it is there, when you look for it. Foodwise, Malaysia may have more variety and a diverse palate, whereas Thai food is, well, Thai food. Both countries love their spicy dishes and you’re in food heaven, if you like hot, bold flavours.

I will be in Malaysia next year

Don't worry about the language, you are Master in a colonized by Anglo-Saxons country . After all the indians must learn the language of the big white cheef.

Malaysia is super boring and hard to walk around without a car. Please stop with these videos pretending its the place to be.

come to Sabah north Borneo bro ..

From Thailand. Very insightful. Very solid comparison. 👍 Subscribed !!

Welcome to Malaysia but please let us be underrated forever...cost of living now is increasing under the new old face regime of No Hope Alliance...😁

The Indian population is actually not huge. Only about 6% from the official gov data for 2023. Chinese is about 20%. Rather you might see more or less concentration of the ethnicity base on the state that you're in or the place. Like in KL, most of them that you may have mistook for Malaysian Indians were actually foreign workers from either India or Bangladesh. States like Penang has a high concentration of Malaysian Chinese so it's the best place to enjoy Malaysian Chinese food.

new subs here, see u in Philippines ❤🎉

Malaysia is cleaner than Thailand
