Kuala lumpur has everything for me. Great shopping malls, kind people, english speaking, fresh food, warm climate all year around, affordable prices. I’m actualy planing to buy an apartment at KLCC area. I’m a European based in Dubai. All the best in 2024 🎉
Buy in KLCC, In your DREAMS fella. Check with a local realtor to guide you, the capital gains tax when you sell. Not forgetting you will pay Income Tax as you abode is classed a residence for tax purposes. Try MM2H route. Remember Condos deplete your income with high service charges. Selling can be a loss as numerous Condos everywhere in KL/MY.
@@ukbulldog2024 capital gains you only pay when you make a profit on your sales… in most of the countries in the world you do that anyway. Service charges for condos are way less in KL than in London or Dubai…. Yes I agree returns are not so good (2.5% NET to 3% at KLCC) but there might be a capital appreciaton on the long run as KL is still relatively cheap compare to other major global cities…
@@ukbulldog2024 capital gains tax you pay in 95% of the countries anyway… and you’ll only pay it once you sell your property and you making profit on it. Personal income tax you are also paying in most of the countries. Service charge in KLCC projects are way lower than in most of the developments in London or Dubai…. yes currently returns ( ROI) are not the best in KLCC but there mighth be a capital appreciation in the next 5 years..
I'm there since 3 weeks and yeah I'd say it's even better. Hope it remains underrated. What's also cool is you don't really see the sex tourist types here.
Great and honest explanation of the place. I love your true, genuine reviews and positive attitudes. Keep up the good work! Always looking forward to your upcoming videos Nice to see you enjoying your stay in this beautiful, luxurious but affordable modern apartment with stunning skyline views. ❤️
We're currently staying in Bukit Bintang as well. We rented a 2 bedroom (we have 2 kids) and got an incredible price! I found your videos looking for info about KL. It's fun to watch while we are here!
Yes! We stay at this hotel cum residential end of Nov recently. It only 10 mins walking distance to Bukit Bintang. Affordable place too sharing with friends in group of 3 to 4 person as they also provide extra mattress. Welcome to Malaysia ✌🏻❤️
It is "cheap" relatively due to exchange rate between USD and ringgit. Secondly salary is low in Malaysia compared to western countries. The same cube hotel in Singapore can get a room in Malaysia
Thanks for this video. Maybe I missed it but would you mind posting the name of this complex and/or a link to where a room can be booked? Thanks again.
My neighbor is an elderly Englishman living on benefits from home, he said it's illegal but he's been here for years and travel to Thailand every three months to renew his tourist visa when entering back after three days there.
Watching this, I realized, luxury in Kuala Lumpur is all about finding the hidden gems, embracing the chaos of the city, and laughing your way through the occasional power outage! I could only hope I could get here very soon to film for our TV show episode!
I am going to say, welcome to malaysia. And feel the luxury without the burden of heavy prices. And again you also can find out if it really has occasional power outage
What hidden gems? That's the going price for modern one berdroom. What chaos? Try our LRT, MRT, ERL and monorail. Usually punctual. What power outage? Our electric utility procures German and Japanese equipment. With built-in redundancies.
both were part of the british overseas colonies around the early 1800s. Both Malaysia and Singapore after gaining independence, maintained many of the systems put in place by the brits.. the system of law, british english and many more. both countries are still part of the British commonwealth today.
Malaysia isn't comparable with Singapore.. For myself, I try as much as possible not to stay on the island: used to but not anymore, place is crowded, expensive and stuff. Malaisia is more fun and people are friendlier. 😅
Real cool watching this. I will visit KL in the near future. Just wondering what the drone rules are in KL? Were you able to fly around this hotel (and the rest of KL) without any hick-ups?
If you want best prices always go check booking websites and spend atleast 30minutes skimming trough deals to find the best ones. Going by property name may not be best option as they probably dont have promotional prices all the time.
I stayed in Bangkok for 2 months before KL, i would say its very similar actually. Food may be a bit cheaper in Thailand, but to get this kind of apartments I feel you would need to rent one for one month minimum. In Bangkok its not so convenient to rent apartments for short time, as short term apartments are more expensive.
I'm guessing this is from the perspective of a foreigner that comes from a country with a very high currency value. Because a local would not be able to do this on a whim and we wouldn't call this cheap.
Hi Doug, my Canadian bf will be coming to KL & we would like to book this place u staying sometime in January. Is it possible to get contact or link for us$45 pls? Have we to pay in advance which wud be good if not necessary to pay in advance. Is this booked thru Airbnb? Tq & look forward to your link on how to apply this❤

Event i travelled to many countries, i still miss Kuala Lumpur to get back to KL. Miss the food and environment and people of Malaysia. ❤
I love the rain in Kuala Lumpur because it keeps you cool, refreshed, and reduces the environment's humidity.
KL is definitely good value play for travellers who have medium budget. You get really good quality for the price!
KL is so underrated. The city is actually on par for retirees just as Bali and Thailand are.
Can't agree more, this place is really awesome!
I'm there since 3 weeks and yeah I'd say it's even better. Hope it remains underrated. What's also cool is you don't really see the sex tourist types here.
Incredible! What an insane value! Beautiful property

Haha, yeah awesome to share as cost will go down greatly like that :) And going for a swim with friends in that nice pool can be fun.
It is "cheap" relatively due to exchange rate between USD and ringgit. Secondly salary is low in Malaysia compared to western countries. The same cube hotel in Singapore can get a room in Malaysia
Great video Doug,I didn't know the Osmo Pocket tracks your movement, thats next level.
Sweet living space! Can't wait for the unknown adventures here!
Truely is sweet, KL is full of this kind of gems 🎉😁👍🏻
Wonderful. Thank you for this video. Happy New Year to you.
Wow, the skybridge is on Level 37, just few floors below the skybridge linking the Petronas Twin Towers which is on Level 41 and 42.
Well done Dougie. This place looks awesome!
thanks henry!!
@@doug_barnardthank you!
Can I have the name of the place
@doug_barnard
KL has many condos and the best AirBNB even though it is not in the city center
Yeah totally agree, how many apartments are available here is just incredible for travellers who want some luxury and comfort in their lives
Ah yes, Malaysia, a country where luxury is affordable.
In 2017, I stayed at the Face Suites in KL for $63/night. They have the best luxury infinity pool in the city.
Nice content and info about Malaysia..
Drone footage is crisp😁👍🏻
I enjoy watching yr video ❤
such a nice, cool n honest review...
Wonderfull. Doug Banard - nice to see you again😊
I stayed in Axon before it’s really amazing we love the infinity pool
We love you Doug
Thanks for this video. Maybe I missed it but would you mind posting the name of this complex and/or a link to where a room can be booked? Thanks again.
Welcome to Malaysia 🎉
Great tourist selfies!
I love you and I am from Iraq. I hope that you will visit us one day, specifically in Baghdad Governorate, Diyala Bridge, and you are welcome.
Really nice apartment block. Sky bridge is scary
Nice one Doug!
I enjoy your videos so much ❤
Same here, we think same😃
My neighbor is an elderly Englishman living on benefits from home, he said it's illegal but he's been here for years and travel to Thailand every three months to renew his tourist visa when entering back after three days there.
its great for foreigners to be able to enjoy this but as local its expensive due to our currency and wages...

Did you get confuse with Philippines ? Power outage? Very very rare
I am going to say, welcome to malaysia. And feel the luxury without the burden of heavy prices. And again you also can find out if it really has occasional power outage
Thats what i always do, trying a lot of different properties to find out which one is best😃👍🏻
What hidden gems? That's the going price for modern one berdroom.

Power outage in Malaysia is very very very rare. Not sure if you got your facts right.
Malaysia is so underrated
This made me miss KL
Great video!
Thank you for visiting Malaysia, the richest country in Southeast Asia...
Luxury for foreigners. Locals are struggling earning local salaries. 90% cant make ends meet and have no savings
Malaysia as well as Singapore seem to have some sort of British influence while the Philippines is more influenced by USA.
Totally agree, people even have slight british accent and they use words like lorry etc.
both were part of the british overseas colonies around the early 1800s. Both Malaysia and Singapore after gaining independence, maintained many of the systems put in place by the brits.. the system of law, british english and many more. both countries are still part of the British commonwealth today.
Love from Bangladesh❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Malaysia isn't comparable with Singapore.. For myself, I try as much as possible not to stay on the island: used to but not anymore, place is crowded, expensive and stuff. Malaisia is more fun and people are friendlier. 😅
I love your drone shot.
I visit Kuala Lumpur in 2016 it's beautiful country and not expensive
Suria town centre
Manara building
Patrons Towers...
Welcome to Mlysia sir..have a bice stay..haha
Welcome😘
Approved! Bum gun in toilet means you at the right location. Welcome to Malaysia.
Real cool watching this. I will visit KL in the near future. Just wondering what the drone rules are in KL? Were you able to fly around this hotel (and the rest of KL) without any hick-ups?
To fly drone legally you will.need permit....
Wow. I like this video
Yes I agree life in Malaysia is really cheap and well-off
But for me as Indonesian (Javanese) it's quite lonely
another nice one doug
ay cordae! i appreciate it man 🙏
We stayed there in September...keep it a secret😂
45$ a night? amazing value for all amenities
It will be nice if you give a link to the property thanks
Superb amazing!
You say a lot we,we have ,we have? Your not alone? 550 subs ,soon you will reach a 1000 subs ! You deserve it
OMG, i'm a big fan of your channel. Wish i could meet u in person in KL
Awesome affordable luxury...
Nice, what is this place name though?
So, how do I book such a nice place to stay? Any link or name?
Hi - great video. Can you put a link to the condo Airbnb? Booking ?
Hello . Which room type u selected ?
Please brother Malaysia sky bridge video vlog🙏🙏🙏
Well came to mlysia
I felt like nothing to new luxury hotel but it’s beautiful and expensive
Sometimes cheaper properties have more heart and cozy home feel, thats my personal opinion.😊👍🏻
Cool,.. Merdeka 118, TRX, Kuala Lumpur Tower and Petronas twin towers are there.. what a view..!
Happy holidays and happy New year 2024 to you.. ❤️🇲🇾
Why are you not posting videos on TH-cam?? I miss your videos
working on it!
Aren't we on TH-cam now?
This comment confuses me😅
I think Doug is taking a break in Kuala Lumpur
Hey...any links to book a rental. Place looks great and amazing deal
How's the pollution?
May I know what the hotel name is, please! Thank you so much. Hope you have a nice stay in Malaysia. Selamat datang. 🙏
This is not a hotel, it's a serviced apartment and it's called Axon.
If you want best prices always go check booking websites and spend atleast 30minutes skimming trough deals to find the best ones. Going by property name may not be best option as they probably dont have promotional prices all the time.
Please remember to have a plate of Nasi Lemak before leaving Malaysia!
What is the name of this serviced apartment? How far is it from a sky train or MRT?
Sleeping lion suites. 2-3 minutes walk to Bukit Bintang MRT Station
Thank you
WHY DIDNT MENTIONE THE NAME OF THE HOTLE?
Doug is bangkok more expensive than kl?

Beautiful place. May I know what did you use to book it? Airbnb or booking etc?
Ps: love the hyperlapse and the drone shot finale 👌
Id say use Agoda, thats what ive done myself in Asia and its cheap and easy.
@@Gymson Agoda is great in Asia, saved my ass in Japan once. Thanks
@@Moemuntz Yeah, Agoda and Booking are actually same company, but I think Agoda is slightly cheaper.
@@Moemuntz Lol what happened in Japan? :D
@@Gymson Airbnb disaster, place wasn’t what it seemed. Agoda came clutch with last minute affordable booking. That’s why I asked if this was Airbnb.
I love malaysia
