Thailand and Malaysia belong to the two best countries for foreigners to live in Southeast Asia.
To live in Thailand permanently, you need a long term visa such as the Thai Elite visa, Smart Start Up visa or retirement visa.
In case you're above 50 and would like to live in the tropical paradise, you may qualify by proving an income of $2,000+ a month or depositing $25,000+ into a Thai bank account.
Digital nomads and tech entrepreneurs should consider the Smart Start up visa which allows skilled workers to live in Thailand permanently. Applicants are required to open a Thai company, bank account and attend an incubation or accelarator program.

Single applicants are required to have an income of RM 7,000 a month. Couples need at least RM 10,000 a month. Applicants above 30 may qualify by proving RM 7,000 or RM 10,000 in offshore income depending on whether an individual or couple application is filed.
What are some of the best places to live in Malaysia? Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Johor Bahru, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu belong to the most sought after cities in the country.

Malaysia most advantage is their location is very stratergic. You can easily drive with your own vehicle to neighborhood country like Singapore or Thailand. Meanwhile in east Malaysia you can easily drive your own vehicles from Kuching, Malaysia to Kalimantan, Indonesia. Also you can go to Philippines by car ferry from Sabah, Malaysia.
Excellent point
Oh.. I forgot to mention about Brunei..in East Malaysia their also have road network for 3 countries.. East Malaysia - Kalimantan, Indonesia - Brunei Darussalam..
Thailand's geography is much more strategic than Malaysia. In the past, Thailand survived from Colonisation because it's a buffer state between French Indochina and British Malaya &Burma. Nowadays, Bangkok have a new Bangsue Grand station which is a real centre for regional high-speed train connecting from Southern China, Laos to Malaysia & Singapore and can go to Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam, too. KL Central can't really beat this more central and modern one in Bangkok. To sum up, Thailand's strategic location is second to none in this region.
basically we don't like to compare each others, but instead we love enjoy each others.. we love to visit Krabi, hatyai.. also always love to visit bandung, medan, danao toba.. but at the same time we proud of our country for the langkawi, Penang, until Sarawak and Sabah.. by the way, welcome to kuching...
I'd have to choose Malaysia. I lived in KL for a year and loved it, However Thailand has a more 'excitement' factor and better food.
For muslims, Malaysia is better to live in because easy to obtain halal food, many mosques, friendly people, good whether, fairly safe and fairly good infrastructure.
Halal is a scam and a economic hegemony on non muslims. It deserves to be rejected.
As the saying goes. Bank in Singapore. Live in Malaysia, and party in Thailand
Thailand is definitely a great place for a holiday and fun place to visit. To stay on a long-term basis, Malaysia is obviously better. Each has its strength. One for a holiday home and one for your daily grind.
Thailand definitely great place to holiday because thailand have industry legal seks🤣
Life in malaysia is very bad, a lot of crime and corruption 😭
@@alam_nature Sounds like Mexico then if you can't even trust that the police won't rob you. The police robbed my mom and step dad in Puerto Vallarte, Mexico.
@@alam_nature The police have never robbed me in Colombia.
@@alam_nature A lot of crime and corruption in Malaysia?

I’m living in Thailand on a 5 year elite visa and am considering moving to Malaysia after my visa is due. Thailand is quite backwards on many ways. The traffic and lack of footpath are not fun. Corrupt government, messy legal system, etc. I hope Malaysia is better.
Where are you staying in Thailand? Traffic is bad in every big city.
What a pleasure to have an intelligent, honest, financially astute nomad channel! All great information, delivered through a pureblood, non-vax lens! Danke.
Having visited Thailand 4 times and Malaysia 5 times, I would retire in both of these countries but overall Malaysia would suit me best for a quite a few reasons but I wouldn't mind retiring n Bangkok and Southern Thailand.
What makes you lean towards Malaysia more?
@@jnsa9454 More diverse, English proficiency, good infrastructure and because I'm a Muslim so it is more easier to adapt (Masjids to pray, Halal food everywhere), and less party life!!
Spot on facts! As a Malaysian, I couldn't agree more
Both countries have their strengths but when you look at quality of life, Malaysia is way better.
What's the best aspect of Malaysia's quality of life?
@@NomadElite Healthcare, language/ease of communication, affordability. Since Malaysia is a net Oil & Gas producing country, it has a direct cost on daily needs like food, transportation, etc.
@@RB-rp6ud Been to two countries Health care in Thailand is not inferior to Malaysia or perhaps better. There are many leading hospitals or clinics to choose from, either government or private
@@georegbyrne7351 Healthcare in both countries are good. At one time Thailand was a leading in medical tourism hub but in the last few years Malaysia has caught up due to its high quality on par or better than Singapore & affordability.
@Ramesh - Can you live in KL and rely on Public Transport for daily commuting? Is Public Transport available between KL and Petalang Jaya? Thanks!
Great information for people that want to choose live in Malaysia or Thailand 🙏
Malaysia is more developed, more diverse in everything, much better English speaking, better transportation options inside and outside the country. I’d definitely vote for Malaysia. Regards from Italy
i dont think so buddy i've been to malaysia a few times no more diverse than Thailand at all.
I was in Sicily recently. Cefalu is very nice.
unless you are black
you are Muslim.
Sure ?
Thank you for such thoughtful sharing and balanced comparison about Thailand and Malaysia... I'm Malaysian btw, love my country but also love my Southeast Asian neighbours...only had been to Thailand and Vietnam so far... I'd love to visit Cambodia (I've watched your video about Cambodia too so thank you for that as well) at some point and the rest of SE Asia...new to your channel..and subscribed 😊✌️

Do you know out government funded the separatist in South Thailand?
@@mrt8085 I don't know, any evidence you can substantiate? Share the link to your source, please.
@@rayiscoolandawesome
I don't remember the TH-cam link but you can see hundreds of comments from Thai and Filipino saying our government funded them.
And please don't use hijab when you're traveling to Thailand lot of them are Islamophobix.
I’ll choose Malaysia because the country feel like you live in develop country during summer(at least 70% vibe feel). Thailand is quite messy especially on the road with almost every second you can hear peoples honking each other, the cables is super messy, street illegal stalls etc, but Thailand is a great place to visit or live no longer than a year. Just my opinion if you don’t agree i don’t care.
Agree with you on Malaysia being more developed especially the highways. Thailand's southern highway isn't the best.
Thailand doesn't honk the horn often because it's etiquette or it can lead to an argument. Unless the situation is absolutely necessary
In terms of honking, I think you must be mistaking Thailand for Vietnam? Thais will honk when they really have to, they don't do it out of spite. 😁
@@wessier8097 honking in indonesia many i think 🤣
i think you never been to Thailand because you are wrong about the horn, haha how stupid are you ?
Malaysia was ranked first in the Best Healthcare in the World category of the 2019 International Living Annual Global Retirement Index.
Malaysia, next question
Malaysia surga warga asing dan makanan... Malaysia the best country.. 😍
true..millions of foreigners in Malaysia...be it workers or tourists, they all love the food and cheap cost of living too (for some).
For family life.. Malaysia..
Better education, healthcare and more or less like developed countries..
For single people that want a very good night life..
Of course Thailand
if you don't want to live with Muslim, then come to Thailand. 😄
"night life" in thailand is No Class At All whereas Malaysia is Classy
classy ? really 555, i hope it is.
Muslim never classy. 😌

Awesome comment.
Thank you very much for your opinion, for countries have their own strengths. which country is better is dependent on their lifestyle and budget. Your opinion is on your lifestyle and budget that are affordable in east Malaysia.
Thailand and Malaysia offer the highest quality of life in SE Asia. Both countries are great!
I appreciated the dating advice with your diverse experience across Malaysia :)
Happy to hear that, Daniel.
TERIMA KASIH
Malaysia Wins Every Single Time Y'All
It's important to use the local currencies so 65,000 baht monthly or 800,000 in a Thai bank account. A combination of the two is fine as well.
I'm considering Malaysia but only qualify under S-MM2H income requirements (US$2000 month). I've been to KL and Penang but not Kuching yet. What would you estimate rental prices for a furnished 1 bedroom condo/serviced apartment in upscale areas such as Georgetown or KLCC/Bukit Bintang? What would be a comparable neighborhood in Kuching?
KLLC can be very expensive and you may end up paying well over $1,000 a month for a luxury apartment. Penang is relatively cheap. I doubt you’d pay more than $500 for a nice 1 bedroom apartment.
Kuching got a large middle class and the city is very safe. There are a couple of high rise buildings but not too many. Stayed in Tabuan Jaya. I really like that city and it’s best to check out some neighborhoods.
Klcc area is a bit steep stay instead at the outskirt area of KL.... ie wangsa maju, pandan, Ampang which is only 15mins away frm klcc
You should go to Kuching. From Kuching you can easily go to Kalimantan, Indonesia by bus or by your own car.
@@NomadElite, yes... Tabuan Jaya is a pretty upcoming place. I agree with that place.
I have to say that the lack of tall building is a good one. Kuching has beautiful sunsets.
Thank yoi
Our pleasure!
I’d like to apply for the Established Entrepreneurial Visa. I have the business and the bank records, invoices, shopify website / product.
I’ve had the business for 7-8 years.
However, I’ve mostly been outside of the US and have spent the majority of my time outside of the US. Therefore I do not have the TAX records.
Could I still qualify for the 5 year visa for myself and my family?
We love Malaysia more than You can imagine.
My wife is Korean and children are young and we want a wholesome country to live. We want to be in Penang Malaysia.
God Bless’
They want to see proof of business performance which include bank statements and tax records. It doesn’t need to be a US company. As long as you can prove some good numbers, you should be good to go. I can help you with getting that visa and handling the application for you. Let me know if this sounds good to you.
Thanks Brother! Will be in touch in this regard! 🙏🙏🙏
You're welcome man. 🙏
Thank you for mentioning my hometown sarawak for your second home programme sir....I am so proud to be a sarawakian..🎉🎉
You're welcome!
Must bear in mind Malaysia has more beautiful places to go to especially Sabah and Sarawak.. 🇲🇾👍✌️

Thailand has many national parks and islands as well
Hello....just subscribed to your channel....👍🤗.
Thanks for subbing!
I have a house in johor, Peninsular Malaysia. How do I apply for the Sarawak MMH2?
Good video ! Can you recommend a good apartment realtor and visa agent ?
Depends on where you're looking for one
What is view on Johor baru I'm looking to retire there it's not to far from Singapore
Good summary
Sarawak visa sounds good with reasonable requirements.
Absolutely
Hi, FYI, Sarawak MM2H program has changed to require bank deposit with pension income and you must stay 30 days in the country annually. It's still a much better deal than Malaysia MM2H program.
Hi Paul! Yes, that's true. It was just a matter of time. Yes, it's still a much better deal than the peninsular MM2H program. I agree with you
@@NomadElite S-MM2H also you can't reside in West Malaysia ( Kuala Lumpur / Penang ) either. New incoming Prime Minister too so things may change again. Some expats would prefer the lifestyle in KL / Penang so that is a problem.
Wow, didn't know about the Sarawak Second Home Visa and that the all was West Visa requirements.
10,000 per month include a child at 11 yrs old? Thanks!
Correct, RM10K a month with or without dependents
@@NomadElite Great as were trying to decide either Thailand or Sabah as stayed in both for a while years ago.
Malaysia beautiful city.. The best food... 😍
It really is!
Malaysia Is Top Notch Quality
Of course the visa changes have occurred in Sarawak and other places as well
Malaysia is always the best. English speaking everywhere, superb infrastructure including trains and roads, Internet connectivity almost in every part of the country and the best part is your spending ie cost of living here probably less thn 50% thn in The US.
Sorry internet is poor , I have been to Malaysian several times , Thailand has stronger internet access.
@@user-lf8eh2ep8p 97% of Malaysia has internet access according to the World Bank. Thailand only 85% and the population is much higher lmao.
All countries have their negative and positive side. Eg bangkok is bigger in population than kl. Therefore there will be more traffic and pollution. But bangkok has a vibrant nightlife compared to kl (subdue). In malaysia, the bad roads are in borneo, not peninsula. In borneo the roads are bad with potholes. Of course they are building the pan borneo highway now. Cost a lot of money. Malaysia is hot in terms of the weather. People wise..both have nice people.
Well said
How would you go about finding an affordable country with coastal area that doesn't have oven baking temperatures and high humidity?
I'd make a list of 10 things I want my future home country to have and tick the checkboxes for each country I have on my list. Whatever country is the most complete is the country I'd choose. You probably won't find a place that's a 10/10 but if you can find one that's an 8 out of 10 then that place is worth considering.
I've been on MM2H for the past 9 years its great
Where do you live in Malaysia?
@@NomadElite Bangsar area
Good stuff. Malaysia is one of my favorite countries. I lived in Kuching during my early SE Asia days
I met a woman online from the Malaysia island of Penang that was born and raised there. I was surprised that her English was a good as the Filipinas. She laughed and said that on the island of Penang English is their second language. She was very nice and wanted to date me. She was very open minded. She had tatoos and liked to wear short shorts. I do not know what religion she was. Someday maybe I will visit Malaysia. I started out by dating a woman in the Philippines for a year, but I did not like the lifestyle in the Philippines, so I came to Thailand and have been going to Thailand for many years and I love Thailand! I plan to eventually relocate there for work.
Good to hear about your plans. Thailand Malaysia are great countries
I would say
Family: Malaysia
Bachelor: Thailand
To Live: Malaysia
To Party: Thailand
For retirement, Malaysia is better, since senior citizen prefers relax, laid back and less hectic city or country side life.

Wish that you'll read my comments.. overall comments, the truth are the best. 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾
Sorry you feel this way. I'm sure you're right about your state. Thanks for the recommendation.
That’s because Sarawak have different MM2H compared to the rest of Malaysia Sabah included. No need to be left out. I’m from Terengganu I don’t see the need for my state’s name to be mentioned.

This country is like 1979 China opening to the world, Big market ( 275 millions people) rich with a young population and natural resources.
Great tip!
There is no such thing about which is better. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses and both of them are fantastic.

it’s really hard to find english comments from thais. normally, when it comes to comparison between the two countries you could only expect opinions from malaysians as they are way better at english than their neighbors.
It's true that, in general, Malaysian have better English than Thai. Anyway, the point that you don't find many English comments here from Thai people because many Malaysian always brag about their country whereas most Thai people won't and don't really care about comparision with Malaysia.

Malaysia is a Muslim country. Cigarettes and liquor are forbidden to Muslims. Even though they do not prohibit foreigners, residents will feel that and in school They also do not encourage women to play sports. If you are a person of another religion You will have a small society if you are Muslim. Malaysia will be a very good place. for Thailand Thai means freedom You can do anything. That does not cause other people to suffer, no matter what religion they are, they have equal rights.
Thailand. Thailand is Buddhist and therefore more liberal - for example much more accepting of those in the LGBT+ Community. Both countries have pros and cons. If you're Muslim Malaysia is obvious choice. I can't imagine a Jewish person wanting to live in Malaysia.
Thailand is a great place, very diverse as well.
Jews should follow Aliyah and live in Israel with their own customs, traditions, language, and cultural practices. Why would they not? Few groups or tribes in the world have their own country with their own limited immigration laws.
To live in? Thailand goes without saying. Malaysia is a Muslim majority country so unless you're a Muslim yourself, chances are you will feel restricted in some ways. Some cities/towns might be more restrictive than others depending on how conservative the people are. Some even practice Shariah laws. Some schools force the students to wear hijab even when they're not Muslims.
I would like to give you some homework for you about Thailand. The places you should visit more because I didn't see in your video, are Khaoyai, Kanchanaburi, Kho Samed, and Pattaya. These places are all close to Bangkok and have ton of tourist attractions and so much to offer.
Thanks for the tips! I've been to Pattaya and Ratchaburi, much better options IMO. Some people really love living in big cities and no matter how much more balance they'd get by moving to the suburbs or smaller cities/towns, they just won't budge.
Go to Phuket, where that Swiss lady was murdered at the waterfall only a few hundred feet from her hotel room.

Why bro?
Very true when you mentioned about dating to other ethnic groups other than muslim group (very important to the foreigners). Dating muslim is a NO-GO-ZONE (to save your heartache). The Malaysian Chinese are pretty well educated in general, elites in their own field, well to do and most of them spend time educated and living in the western world for a while and pretty exposed and work in the corporate world and successfully (hence this got to do with the quota system in Malaysia if you understand the education class system) and can command few languages professionally well. This group of Chinese Malaysians normally also holding western passport. Hence I can understand when Nomad Elite says they don't need any "upgrade". They don't after your passport and $$ .Similar to the Thai Chinese in Thailand if you can differentiate them (most don't). You don't find them in the bars or massage places. This video is pretty much spot on. I can live in Thailand or Malaysia depends on what sort of quality of life you would like to be surrounded by the people and know where to look for them.
Chinese Malaysians are hardworking and educated. They know what they want.
@NomadElite. I’m curious about your comment that more Thais than Malaysians would think dating a Westerner or foreigner to be an “upgrade”. As an Asian, it is my experience that most Asian families think dating a foreigner, especially westerner, brings embarrassment, even shame, to the family. It takes a very special foreigner a long time and much goodwill and good behaviour to be accepted by an Asian family.
Go to the other
Malaysia is quite popular with Muslim expatriates from Africa, Arabs or other South-East Asian Muslims. But most the Western expatriates or tourists will skipped Malaysia
Lots of truth to that
It is ok.. win some lose some.. nothing to lose
They skipped because most of them bad tourist..drunk and sex maniac
Believe it or not, the fact is most Arabs and also Turkish are likely to visit Thailand more than Malaysia!!
Do you have data for that or just assume things from images that you see. Before pandemic malaysia had 39mil visitors and even though Malaysia is popular among the Muslims because of halal food which is an important consideration when traveling but a large chunk of visitors are actually Chinese, Singaporeans, Japanese, Koreans and Indonesian. But because these people look similar to us, only the Arabs stand out to look like tourists. Western tourists have to travel further compared to the Asian tourists so it makes sense that the majority of our tourists are Asian.
For family.... Msia a suitable place but if you want an enjoy life with a lot of entertaintment than Thailand will be the best place...
Correct. Security is on top of their list. Always going to be this way
In what way(s) specifically "enjoy life with a lot of entertainment"?
You can "enjoy life" yourself much more in Malaysia & without [even] dying like in thailand aka ' The Pattaya Plunge '
@@Kipper1997 ...meant for men.....men's heaven😂😂😂😂
To date a malay, it is the religious restriction you have to prepare for it. eg you must eat halal food. Or to get married you must convert to islam. Borneo people are more open minded compared to west malaysia. There are christian natives in borneo. Fair skin. Look like chinese but are not.
Borneo feels very different to West Malaysia.
@@NomadElite people there are more tolerant compared to peninsula. This is my feedback as a malaysian. Peninsula has to much religious radicalism or malay supremist / nationalism that can break the harmony of the country.
Agreed. I lived in Kuching and it was very different to KL
@@keangwooichoo6138 even Muslim in Borneo are super tolerant. Don't be surprised if you see in a family household practicing 3 religion.
@@asmazara7214 true indeed
As a Malaysian, the ideal situation would be:
1) Work in SG
2) Live in MY
3) Spends hard earned moolahs in TH or ID or PH
Yeap! What a wonderful world hahaha

made it into phillipines.
What was the entry process like? I assume you're vaccinated and didn't need to test upon arrival?
Malaysia has better quality of life, cleaner and safer, ease of moving around and interaction. I even like Malaysia food more than Thai. But Malaysia can be quite boring, it lacks the vibes of Bangkok and the fantastic Thai market culture. Thailand is an agricultural country so it has more seafood, fruits, etc. But KL is a pretty modern beautiful city compare to Bangkok. If you are single male, love the night scenes and bar, and now weed, find easy girls, then Thailand is for you. However you may find girls easily in Thailand, but unless you speak Thai, your relationship with the girl is purely sexual, you give her money in exchange for sex. Once the money stops, she will find another farang. You think love....? Dating is also easy in Malaysia if you spend some time, getting to know the locals. You can not find a girlfriend in 3 days in Malaysia. But then you will have more lasting meaningful relationship with educated Malaysian girls. For me I will definitely live in KL and every few months, I will fly to Bangkok for few days or weeks to chill out, then I have the best of both worlds. Both cities are great.
Dude you were comparing Thai bar girls with normal educated middle class girls in Malaysia. Do you know that in Thailand there are also normal educated girls, who came from middle class and above, who are not working at night bar? Like it’s weird that you just compare bar girls and normal girls, it’s weird and stereotypes af. like you think all Thai girls working in night bars?
I mean if all Thai girl just chase after the farang, in that case by now majority of Thai children should be mix western look and speak English but no, majority of people still are Thai look and still can’t speak English.
If you want to find normal Thai girls, what about you go to normal place, not night life area with weeds?
