- We chat with random people on the streets of South East Asia to see what the places are like. Is it worth visiting Johor Bahru (known as JB) or should you skip this due to the lack of things to do here? Is this place tourist-friendly or do people recommend checking this city out on your next trip to Malaysia?

Years ago, and maybe still today, Singapore Customs would check your automobile gas tank when you leav; your tank would need to be 3/4 full. DOes anyone know, is it the same rule for motorbikes?
Good question! I hope someone can answer it :)
The one man you interviewed, the teacher who rode his motorbike from Singapore, reminded me of that rule. @@Chai_Travel
It's still the same. Must be 3/4 full. Random check
Thank you. Are motorbikes checked as well? Or am I being silly? @@azureliteyahoo
Yes
Certainly a great place for Singaporeans to visit for a way less expensive meal than they would be used to paying for at home. Also an ideal opportunity to fill up the petrol tank and save a motza. Nice video Chai. Certainly enjoyed the last interviewee the most. Great work 🤩
Thanks! Haha yes it is indeed. Also for locals to just spend some time in a “big” city :) always a pleasure to see your comments Steven 🤗 have a great rest of the evening
I live in Johor Bahru, but I haven’t been to Johor Bahru city center for many years. You can go to mount austin, sutera utama, bukit indah, eco palladium to get closer to the daily life of Johor Bahru people.
That’s a nice tip thanks 😊 hopefully we get to go there next time
All who come here. Is come to SG and work. JB city center is a place to work. Not tourist.
Thank you for this video and for showing the candid interviews with some people/tourists.
Always a pleasure brother Yasin :)
@@Chai_Travel Thank you bro Chai. 😀
Nice people selection interview done by you Chai , ❤ love to see people sharing there secrets 🤐 advice.. Great video bro , more to see.
Thank you 😃 more videos in the pipeline 🥳 stay champ brother
There not a river across Singapore but it is a straits of Johore sea. Johore have a lot of nice place to visit. Have a beautiful island, beach, shopping and food paradise.
I was wondering if someone would pick up on that :p it is not a river. It’s a straights indeed 🙏 thanks for interacting
@@Chai_TravelIt is called Selat Tebrau.. Selat for strait.
Being polite and giving facts....
In essence JB is where Singaporeans shop and dine. Gasoline in Malaysia is the second cheapest in Southeast Asia. Which is why both Singaporeans and Thai's buy and often even smuggle gasoline from Malaysia 😂
Hence he said Malaysia has the 2nd cheapest @@sam-gt7eq
Then remove the rebate. Save malaysia
@@tankman20064 Malaysia doesnt need saving. Maybe you need it 🤣
😂😂😂👍👍👍❤Travel keep up your work 🙏🙏🙏
Johor is like Thailand for Singaporeans in a way. It's inexpensive and has lots of good food.😅😂😂
Haha Nice. We strolled around a lot in JB and we actually quite like it. Thank Nick. Have a great evening already
you will feel more relax in JB ...
Hope the Johor govt work harder to improve the city. Thanks for the interview too!
Most people visit legoland and tioman island.
Visitors to SE Asia should try the 2nd city tour . It will give a different experience.
So go to JB instead of KL. Then Chiang Mai instead of Bangkok. Luang Prabang in Laos. Siem Reap in Cambodia. Da Nang in Vietnam. Cebu in the Philippines. Yogyakarta in Indonesia.
That such a good one. Hopefully everyone gets to do this at least once 🤩
I think the johor tourism board need to hype up the islands off Mersing…. The view are stunning n it is Where ppl could find peace n tranquility
just arrived in Mersing today...it's trying to be a tourist destination, but the city is rather rundown and the beach is filthy.
Have you been to the islands such as Rawa, Tioman, Sibu, Pemanggil? That are places i m talking about…. Mersing is known as a departure point linking to the offshore islands. It’s a town not even a city
I hope Mersing does something about the beaches 😟 Tioman is nice and Duty free 😍
" Just do it " love that 😊😂 🤜🤛
Haha yeah me too 😜 🤣
Quick border hop for a fuel top up and back home within 2 hours.
Don’t forget the Laksa 😜
The American tourist can rent a bike in East Malaysia and drive it from coast to coast. Might be too much of a hassle to ship a bike. In any case...have fun.
Did the German couple have their bikes shipped to Singapore and then they flew there? Did they just start their trip and they have 2 years of pedaling before they get home to Germany? I would like to hear their thoughts at the end of that trip!
Yes 🤩 they shipped it from Mexico to Singapore 😍 I’d love to meet them at the end of their trip
Welcome to my city
Thanks 😁
We, Singapore and Malaysia are one family. We share same culture and values most of the time. 😊
"Just do it." 😂 Lmao
I’m from northern Johor district of Muar…to be honest, I just went to JB like 3 times in my life so far 😂😂😂 nothing special there actually, everything are overprice due to proximity to Singapore…I just go to Melaka or KL to shopping or food…Muar also a food haven in Johor…no need to travel 2 hours to Johor Baru to find any food 😂😂😂
Aha fair enough mate 😃 Melaka is such a nice towns. So beautiful and yes haha a lot of good food there as well 😜
Bangsa Johor has biggest plan to link to Kunming [CHINA].

Chai, which country has better food between Malaysia and Thailand, in your opinion?
Haha, I appreciate the question. I wouldn’t say better or worse but, I find it odd that Vietnamese food (other than Pho) is not more famous around the world. Also, Indonesia has so much delicious food which I should not forget to mention 🤤. I think every country has its own uniqueness. In my opinion, Vietnam and Indonesia have the most (with Malaysia and Thailand) variety of delicious food within South East Asia. Thanks for the question :D
Chai, There is the largest and most costly Chinese project in Johor (Bandar Iskandariah) that is delayed due to covid 19. You should come there because it is listed as the ten most expensive projects in the world and somewhat controversial in our society.
Most Malay restaurants seem to have similar menus, whereas Thailand has many restaurants specializing in this or that dish, prepared in unique ways. More fun to go food hunting in Thailand than Malaysia, IME. Restaurant prices in Malaysia are much more consistent than Thailand. Thailand has a far superior street food culture, better prices and variety.
I’m Singaporean and I avoid JB at all cost 😅 don’t like it there at all.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
JB is dirty with rubbish thrown on the road because the authority (MBJB?) never install rubbish bins in the city centre.
Singaporeans come to JB to buy medicines (30-50%) cheaper, no need doctor's prescription.
Less expensive because of the exchange rate.
"minutes away from Singapore"....people waiting 2 hours to cross
😅
Couple Cycling the world says "Better than flying"
Exactly how do they cycle over the oceans?
They shipped there bikes from Mexico to Singapore :)
Fun fact about Johor, its 3x times more bigger than Singapore, but lack for touristy spot, for local, jb is nice place to living
JB received so many tourists but the tourists were just mainly Singaporeans.
JB is 3X size of Sg but state of Johor is 26X the size.
@@shukriramlee ur custom so slow. How to go ? Stand also 4 to 6 hours. Same like refugee. Stamp passport only
@@tankman20064 But they're still coming
@@tankman20064 Lol, Malaysia got many custom and border unlike tiny Singapore. JB custom also got self-service gate. Fyi, biometric passport was made and invented in Malaysia.
Is it a safe place?
It is but some places in the evening it can be a bit dodgy. But overall it’s very safe
The china guy was done with JB. He looks like hes over it HAHAHA
😅
i got robbed in JB. Never ever go malaysia
I’m sorry to hear that 🙏
It Johor. You must be go Pub and dirty places 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
downside...... Taxi scam and poor bus transportation.
Aaah gotcha. Actually taxi scams are everywhere 🤭
Johore drain water goes inside singapore drink water
We’re able to recycle drain water from the toilet in the Netherlands and it’s perfectly safe and tasty to drink believe it or not
and Singapore provides treated water to Johore in return😉
Not drain water la! 😀 Untreated water goes to Singapore
As a Malaysian, I have always found Johor Bharu as the most least interesting city in Malaysia. Barely any unique attractions and looks generic.
Fair enough :) I think it might have changed a bit over the last few decades though. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊
Definitely not as clean as singapore. I can see rubbish in the pond/canal.
Littering and dumping is a big problem in Malaysia, true. Every time it rains, you see trash floating down the river.
@lanthanumkhloride8538 really bad behaviour plus undocumented migrants same attitude.
I hope everyone is helping a little to clean it up and/or keep it clean ❤️
@lanthanumkhloride8538 I live in the dirtiest town in the peninsula ,yes klang. I can say that 70% of malaysians are good people. 30% are pure litterbugs plus 99.9% of migrants
@Chai_Travel sometimes it is the people, sometimes it is the cleaning contractors. Always two sides to the story. Contractors hired do not do their work. Example in my town klang, some contractors are relatives to the municipal council staff. So if they do not work, they still get paid (everyone gets paid I mean). Because they are relatives, no action is taken on the contractors. This is the corruption you faced. Unless we take pictures and publish it on social media, they will do work.
So arrogant most of the Sg comments. Just because your currency is higher does not make Sg a better place and don't degrade other countries.
Stop being so sensitive. I've scrolled through all 85 comments at the time of writing but didn't find a single one bragging bout the currency?
No one is being arrogant here 🙏
Singapore is a waaaaayy better place than JB mate - it's incomparable
Then call them don't come here to work lor.
Such a manipulative comment. Pretending to be Johorean while praising Singapore.
