Thailand for entertainment & nightlife
Singapore for career & work
Malaysia for family & retirement
Yep spot on👍🏻
Very very true
Ya you got the point! 👍
Another thing is english is widely speaking in msia as it was a 2nd language.most of the people understand the simple english even they cannot speak well.
I lived in KL for two years. There are beautiful, pristine beaches in Malaysia without mass tourism ruining the resort towns. ( more upscale) Explore Malacca which is rich in history; Penang is full of old history also with the Chinese and British… There are the north eastern provinces that are more isolated and traditional than KL area. And don’t forget Sarawak. Plenty of adventures waiting for you.
True😊
I’m excited to see all of these very soon! 😁😁
I like being here in Malaysia. I love Thailand but the mass tourism and other things makes it hard for me to stay for too long in Thailand. I also prefer the more reserved conservative society here. You don't get hassled a lot in Malaysia like you do in Thailand. I don't care to party or get involved in the *** bars. Malaysia is just a better place. Try Penang and you will love Malaysia even more.
Penang is like stepping into a movie set. Fascinating place.
Just came back to KL after being in Thailand and the Philippines for the past couple months. Malaysia so far to me is the best country in Southeast Asia overall from the people, cost, food, and healthcare. Just wish the MM2H program was more affordable.
Just checked. Much too costly!
@@williamdahl3318 which country is costly?
@@calschroc8902 Malaysia long stay visa. Costly at least for me. As compared to Thailand. But maybe not the case for you (I don't know your situation).
@@williamdahl3318 I agree. That’s what I was mentioning with Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) program. It’s not attainable for most people. $100K is a lot of money to put up, especially for retirees.
@@calschroc8902 The newer version of MM2H west Malaysia sets its bar so high that only less than 100 people applied in 2023!!!. It also requires visa holders to reside in west Malaysia for at least 45 days per calendar year. While Thailand retirement visa requires to renew every year which is also a hassle but 800,000 baht in bank about 22,000 usd isn't that bad, also no minimum days requirement.
Malaysia is not only about KL and people like to compare Malaysia (KL) with other countries such as Thailand. There are 14 states to explore to. Afterall, we like to kept as underrated country.
If u are coming for party, Malaysia is not the one.
Hopefully I will end up visiting all 14 states. My plan is to visit the east next
@@benfishermin U will enjoy your journey. Every state has their own traditional and culture. Have a great one. Keep us posted
Only those that stay in Malaysia for some time will understand how great these hidden country is, he is a great example & hope he has some great friends in Malaysia & enjoy the rest of his life.
Thank you very much, I’m excited to see more of the country 🙌
If you're not into party and alcohol but into scenic beautiful place then Malaysia is definitely for you, Ben! Check out the Borneo side of Malaysia, there's plenty of great escapades from the big cities vibes, the mountain glamping etc. And there's plenty of beautiful beaches in Malaysia. I think it will be a great content for your friends in Thailand who are not aware of Malaysia and its huge number of foreign expats working or living here 😊
Smart decision - the world doesn’t need yet another Thailand vlogger. I think Malaysia will be much more relaxed but no less exciting for you - and I don’t need to tell you about the food. Plus you will be just as well positioned for trips all over SE Asia in Malaysia as you would have been in Thailand. My ideal retirement would be 6 months in Malaysia, and 1 month in each of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, the Philippines and back for a month to the U.S.
If anything it will be more exciting because it’s quite fresh and new to me as well, and there’s just so much to see. I still need to check out Vietnam, Cambodia, and Philippines too as I’m really curious how these places feel. I like your plan of Malaysia as a base and trips to other SEA countries frequently
You are welcome back to KL, Malaysia, explore more of KL, explore more of Malaysia including Borneo.
Excited to see more of KL, Borneo and more 🙌
@@benfishermin Wonderful. 😁
Ben, Malaysia is amazing. So much to see and a very vibrant and rich culture.
I will be here for your videos.
Stay Safe, and Stay Blessed !
It’s really great, glad to see someone else who enjoys both countries quite a bit! 😁
You have a kind and friendly personality, also you are very respectful, Malaysians usually are drawn to such personalities and will likely gained a lot of views and subsribers. That's why you gaining a lot of views.
Thanks that’s very kind I appreciate it, I’m happy with how the channel is going!
Hello Ben, I've what's half a dozen of your videos now and have subscribed. For years I have been watching videos about moving to the Philippines from Southwest Florida. For the last month I've been considering Malaysia and we'll be following your videos. Stay safe and enjoy yourself
Wow cool! I’ve always been curious to visit the Philippines since I was young, so I still need to visit soon enough. Malaysia did surprise me with how much I like it and how good the quality of life feels here. Glad you’re enjoying the videos 🙌
From De Santis state to a muslim country? Malaysia is the hardest core muslim country in SEA. Who is the most military threat to Thailand and Singapore? The answer is Malaysia. Who is the one who support terrorist in the sounthern part of Thailand. Why Malaysia is closer but Singapore has to park some of its fighters in Thailand. Malaysian chinese don't even dare to put the symbol of dog or pig in front of the store during chinese new year. Thailand is far from perfect but you will have more freedom for sure. Why Thai chinese call themselves just Thai but malaysian chinese is still malaysian chinese for generations and will still be.
Welcome back to beautiful Malaysia.. Looking forward for more Malaysian content..
Thanks I’m glad to be back!
Hi Ben, I do't know anything about Malaysia except what your videos have shown me, but I think you're making a very wise decision to stay in Malaysia and learn more about the country, the culture and it's people! I'll be watching with interest because Malaysia does look like a great place to be! Thanks for taking us along, and I hope you continue to enjoy your stay there!
I live in the part of Bangkok with many muslims in the area all my life. Though they are nice just like most Thai, I never get familiar with the sound from the mosque that goes several kms daily. I mean daily. Sometimes several times a day. Can't imagine myself living in a major muslim country.
Thanks a lot for the nice comment 😀😀🙏🙏
Yea the sound from the mosque can be bothersome I agree
Once again, I feel compelled to point out that "Leaving Thailand" would be a wonderful title for a book.
This would top charts just based on the name 😁
@@benfishermin I should be so lucky.
@@steverosse maybe a self fulfilling prophecy for the famous Thailand author!
We've been living in Thailand for a couple of years on a retirement visa and I can relate to what you say. We recently ended our visa here, currently in Ko Samui. I want to explore more of Malaysia too. Not for long stay as unfortunately much too expensive for the visa, but we can do longer visits with their 90 days tourist visa 😊
Oh bonus of course it's easier to speak English in Malaysia. The Thai are not interested really except in highly touristic areas.
I do wish it was a bit easier to stay longterm in Thailand, and for a reasonable cost. Yea seems even Malaysia for an actual longterm visa / retirement visa is really expensive! Samui is great, relaxing place for me. I hope you get to explore more of Malaysia, I’m excited to do so myself too 😁
don't forget to collab with planet doug, he's a nice guy, he'll show you around KL
Good call I need to get in touch with him
You are a good story teller indeed.
you should go to cameron highlands, a cool escapade from malaysian heat in the mountains
Welcome back to Malaysia Ben...!!! You can find a lot of expat living in Kuala Lumpur and I think it's better for you to get in touch with them. Maybe they can share their experience about Malaysia with you so you can plan your trip around Malaysia better
Welcome back to Malaysia! You might also want to check out East Malaysia - Sabah & Sarawak too .. lots to explore! 😊
Thank you, I’ll be visiting both very soon 🤩🤩
@@benfishermin take your time and not to rush when visiting the places in Malaysia. please dont rush and then make quick conclusion about those place, ask the locals for extra info, learn some Malay language (it is a simple language to learn - really... and it can be used in Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei)
You MUST come to Malaysia to celebrate Malaysia independence day 31 Aug and Malaysia day 16 Sept.. join Keretapi Sarung.
Welcome to malaysia bro! Hope u enjoy your stay here…we locals will try to help u as much as we can.
Thanks a lot, the locals are so helpful 😀🙏
Love your honesty. I think that is why i watched your videos.
Another honest video mate! I'm pretty sure you will enjoy other places apart from KL. You can try Penang or Melaka as its more of a tourist destination. And once you made enough money, you can explore some cool islands in Malaysia. Hoping to see you successful with these contents
Here’s my recommendation:
• Place to roaming around town & streets :
#Penang (specially #Georgetown )
#Melaka town
#KualaLumpur
#Putrajaya
• Good beach & islands:

#Redang island (state of #Terengganu )
#KapasIsland #Kapas island (state of #Terengganu )

#Mabul island (state of #Sabah )
#Boheydulang island (state of #Sabah )
• Hills & mountains :

#Kundasang -kinabalu mt. view
#CameronHighland (state of #Pahang )
#MuluNationalPark (state of #Sarawak )
#BukitBendera hill (state of #Penang )
#Machinchang mountain at #Langkawi Cable Car

Welcome back to our lovely, beautiful country with diverse cultures, races, and varieties of foods. I'm sure you'll love them and I hope you'll ❤️ enjoy it😊
You are most welcome to our beloved country.Hope you will enjoy our hospitality and diversity.Malaysia has one of the best healthcare in the world as well.Cheers
Thank you very much, happy to be here!
Thanks for choosing Malaysia, Ben! Welcome to your new second home 🏠 ❤🎉
Thank you very much 😄😄🙏🙏
Welcome! Go to Pulau Perhentian Kecil (long beach)...it's beautiful there..but before July...
Your doing the right thing Ben Malaysia will get more subscribers because to many utubers doing Thailand now . Malaysia as well has alot easier on the immigration side as well no visa for first 3 months where Thailand u have to leave Thailand after 2 months then leave the country .then there's the health Insurance living in Thailand so Malaysia is better for me for utube and immigration.glad your trying Singapore looking forward to that keep up the good work Ben.
Malaysia doesn't allow border runs though, something to be aware of .
@@CricketWebNet least you can stay for 3 months without visa unlike thailand 2 months then you have to leave and reenter but like ben said there clamping down on that now on border runs see you can only enter thailand 3 times in a 6 month period i went 3 times last year to pattaya and they were questioning me at border control how long you staying in thailand for .least i will only come to pattaya once this year so shouldnt be any proplem they just dont like immigration expect for 1 month or 2 month then if come back quick its questions again dont now how expats live there with the reporting to immigration bank statements health insurance there anti immigration .
Best season till July for beaches diving at east coast and east Malaysia sabah🎉
Lang Tengah island is an interesting spot - nice private beach with crystal clear waters, snorkelling without needing to go deep sea, it's awesome! It's not so popular among tourists so you will find some peace and quiet there...lovely
Awesome thanks for the recommendation I need to check it out 🙏
I finally subscribed but have been watching for a few months. I really like that you're not into the drinking culture. Not that there's anything wrong with that, just not my thing. I really look forward to seeing the future videos exploring different parts of Malaysia.
Thanks glad you’re enjoying the videos 🙏🙏
Get locals to give recommendations if you like history, culture and nature. There are many places to go outside of KL. Good that you want to explore and interact with the locals. Do interact with us locals...we love it when visitors are interested in our culture.
I will try to get some more interaction with locals on the videos 🙌
The people and food in Malaysia are what make Malaysia the wonderful country it is.
Yes I agree!
Welcome back to Malaysia ben
Come to Terengganu..i ll wait for you
Thank you, will. Is it terengganu soon! 😁😁
I have been living in Bangkok for 2 years and accidently discovered your channel and I really like your Malaysia content...have not looked at any of your other content yet...
That's nice to hear I'm glad you enjoy it. I'm excited to visit Thailand again soon too, especially now that high season is over and prices are down!
Malaysia has borders to thailand, singapore, indonesia and brunei. You could just go on a day trip and back anytime you want to.
Hi mr. Ben.. stay in malaysia. This is your home now. We understand every people situations. Also we can learn anything from anyone too. We Love you brother. I am From Johor.
Thanks a lot, happy to be here, I’ll be visiting johor sometime soon!
Yes Ben..have the healtier way of life, more fresh air, enjoy the rest in msia.Good luck. Wish U all the best. Discover the beauty & diversity of this land.
Welcome to Malaysia😊
Thank you 😁😁🙏🙏
In the 1980s to early 2000s era there were so many "zombies" throughout Malaysia due to heavy usages of drugs which are easily marketed in black market. Many drug dealers & pushers targeted young Malaysians into drugs thus many have left school & are involved in crimes & robberies..that was the main reason the Government of Malaysia has enforced the death penalty & heavy sentences for those who possess drugs more than the minimal quantity.
We want healthy, dynamic & educated Malaysians to develop the country to the greatest high. The Malaysia government has spent so much on rehabilitation centers for decades to cure drug addicts & gave them a 2nd chance to be a better person Nowadays most Malaysian younger generations don't even smoke & anti drugs however they're some involved in vapes & e-smoking. We don't want a 'Kingston-the zombies town' exist in Malaysia.
For those who like drugs, partying, sex..you can choose Thailand or some other SEA countries.
Anyway..we, Malaysians are always welcome people from all around the world to visit our country.
I don't drink or use any drugs but thanks for the lesson I guess
Thailand is also a good country to live in from my observation. Nevertheless Malaysia is also equally nice with different vibes. On the west coast of Peninsula Malaysia, it is Manhattan and Queens. On the east coast Peninsula is a bit like Williamsburg or Crown Heights in certain area due to certain things from Abrahamic tradition. 😊
Yea both great I agree, I’ll be checking out both the east and west coast so I’m very curious to see how these places feel
Welcome to Malaysia ...you should visit Borneo
Msia is a bit calm as compared to Thailand.This only suits for special type of people like u n most of Msian population.We like to be in a cool n not so havoc environment.U can find everything in Msia esp. foods that most people missed😊
Thanks it’s a nice place for me to spend time in
great, would love to see you in Malacca, Penang, Johor Baru and Langkawi
Thanks my friend, all of these are on my list to visit on this tour! 😁
Maybe you can use KL as your base camp throughout your journey in Asia...due to it centralised location & HQ of AirAsia which serves almost all asian cities...pls experience the hospitality of friendly Malaysian 😁
Welcome back Ben! Build your "tattoo on travels" videos whilst on your feet. You might be surprised where it could lead you - including getting you spare change to travel wider, further.
Thanks! I had to sell my tattoo machine / equipment when facing some financial difficulties. My tattoo days are behind me for a little while at least!
@@benfishermin ahhh... that changes the dynamics! Onwards & blessings on your new Travel Tubing journeys!
By diving deep into creativity, you'd see endless opportunities in Malaysia simply because it has all the fundamentals for execution. Beautiful places doesn't make it helpful if you're surrounded with passive audience or community. Of course sometimes you'd need some space alone like a holiday. Still, there are few places here for that like Sabah, Langkawi, Tioman, etc. Good luck on your journey.
Welcome back Ben
Thank you 😁😁
There are only a few small parks in pattaya and the whole city is seriously lacking green spaces but it's not the case in Malaysia.
It’s true, Pattaya could really use a park, people would love it
welcome to Malaysia! both Malaysia and Thailand are great, good value for money, the only difference is english is widely spoken in Malaysia and Thailand is only a skip away. Wish you all the best!
Very true, it’s nice to be able to go back and forth between both countries
You should visit Taiping. Town of many firsts...
1st Railway
1st Muzium
1st Zoo/Nite Safari
1st Lake Garden
1st Hill Resort
1st Golf Club
To name a few...
There are about 30 1st in this historic town.
Celebrating 150 years of Taiping this year
Spent 1 day/night there and I thought it was a nice place! Worth visiting for sure
Hey Ben, I am looking forward to your coming back to Malaysia , man. I am quoting a Malay idiom "hujan emas di negeri orang, lebih baik hujan batu di negeri sendiri" Maybe someday you will come to understand this idiom ( or "pepatah" in Malay Language) There will be more things to learn from me about Malaysia, people, language and the culture other than your own experience.
Thanks I appreciate it 🙏🙏
Beach is PLEANTYY in Malaysia,
Just close to KL is Port Dickson quite famous with locals especially those living in KL, then Morib. Pangkor Island is the next nearer in Perak much better beach experience, cleaner and prestine compared to PD. If you keep moving to states each states have their seaside gems. Penang, Sabah, Terengganu, Johor and etc.
Thanks I gotta check out Pangkor Island, and for sure Penang, sabah, terengganu and johor all on my list to visit on this tour 😁😁
As for nature, I would like to suggest for you to go to Sipadan Island. As for food, do come to Kelantan
Welcome back to Malaysia..
I suppose the best place for you is in East Malaysia such as Sarawak. The natives there have the custom of body tattooing. Perhaps it would broaden your knowledge about local tattoos.
Yes borneo natives love tattoos
Wow interesting thank you, I’m excited to visit East Malaysia soon
@@benfishermin The natives of Sarawak such as the Iban Tribe - are expert in body tattoo - i think you can find tattoo parlors in Kuching (capital city of Sarawak) that specializes in native tattoos...
Hey Ben, hope you'll explore more states in Msia like Penang, Perak, Melaka, Johor, Sabah & Sarawak. And for great beaches, go to the East Coast of Malaysia. Check out Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian. They are gorgeous 😃
I will be for sure on this trip. Thanks!
I did my internship at chonburi for 3 months, i love it, great food, great people but tbh thai language is the biggest challenge for me. English would be the biggest advantage here, you will not having problem when communicating. yeah we don't really have any alcohol culture (mostly because muslim majority country). just be careful, we love our food here, we eat a lot. haha just be more manageable. learn some malay, it's much much easier than thai.
Do a comparison video - between Thailand and Malaysia - such as prices of similar items in grocery stores in Bangkok vs Kuala Lumpur. ie: a price of a can of Coke perhaps... or price of internet perhaps.... I love videos like those...
Good idea, I should do a price comparison video. It’s similar but I end up spending more in Thailand myself. Thanks
Go discover Malaysia, good for you
Now is a good time to visit east coast of peninsula since monsoon is over. The beaches and islands there are awesome.
Excited to check them out soon
@benfishermin the latest vlog I saw was from "travels on toast" channel. They are on motorcycle tour on the east coast.
3:46 - If you want to experience nature ie: rivers, mountains, beaches, islands - come to Sabah.... perhaps start a camping adventure there going from one nature spot to another... here are some places in Sabah to get you started (google or youtube them) - Tagal Talungan Ecotourism, Melangkap, Tegudon Tourism Village, Taman Negara Kinabalu / Kinabalu Park, Mount Kinabalu, Memutik Island, Tiga Island (Survivor series island), Bohey Dulang island, Rang Bulan Beach, Kelambu Beach etc... if you want more naturistic places recommendation - do ask. Most of the places I mentioned, not all Malaysian are aware of them - it will be a good content/theme for you to introduce these places to the world~
Thanks a lot for this! I’ll be visiting Sabah for sure. Seems like there’s a ton to see there, I’ll be referring to some of your recommendations and researching these spots 🙌
You haven't tried Malaysian durians I believed
Two things I don't do in S.E. Asia...
1. No black clothes. Too hot.
2. No white clothes. Hard to keep white.
😂
Wonder how a video on the Orangutans would do? We went to Kuching, Sarawak and saw the Orangs. So cute! You can also visit a native village and long house.
Good decision on Malaysia. It is such a great place. Singapore and Malaysia are so similar, but Malaysia is so much more affordable. You can stay in Johor and make day trips into Singapore.
Haha that’s rough since I wear mostly all black / white / grey 😂 I will say at least black shirts hides the sweat for me. I’ll definitely be be visiting Kuching, Sarawak. Would be cool to see some orangutans. For sure I’d like to stay 1-2 nights in Johor and take a trip for probably 1-2 nights in Singapore. The accommodations in Singapore definitely are super pricey!
Welcome back to Malaysia!
Thanks a lot 😁😁
Malaysia as a hub for almost everything... We are located in the middle of SEA & u may need 1-3 hours flight to reach all our neighbours. It's affordable as well. 3 months visa free is not enough to travel all across the country but it's better than 1 month. 😂😂😂 Welcome back to Malaysia...
The best part is it’s so easy for a visa run here too. Thanks 😀🙏
@@benfishermin yeah... You can run but you can hide with Malaysian hospitality ;) Can't wait to see your next video bro...
Thailand for better or for worst marketed itself unofficially in sex tourism, drinking, partying. But like you mentioned it has beautiful places eg beaches, forest, waterfalls.
Malaysia did not market anything, tourism ministry is like dead. To be frank. But it is via word of mouth, recommendation, and some accidental visa run, people found out about our awesome beaches, mountains, caves, buildings, cultures, wildlife, archealogical sites, rainforest, food.
And yes we are a megadiverse country for wildlife especially on borneo island.
Yea makes sense, if not for exploring during my visa run I would not really know much about Malaysia at all, everyone talks about Thailand, Vietnam, and even Cambodia in a different way, I think mostly because of budget/backpacker style travel. Even though it’s very possible on a budget in Malaysia too, not sure if they want the backpacker kind of tourist so much but what can ya do. I think I will really enjoy Borneo it looks like there’s so much to see there
Welcome back. I suggest you try my hometown. TAIPING in Perak state.
Our tagline "From Taiping with Love"
I went just for one day/night and really enjoyed it there 😀😀
Kuching in Sarawak, Ipor, Malacca, Penang, Cameron highlands, Kota Kinabalu in Sabah...
Kuching, Malacca and KK are on my list!
Go to the east coast states of peninsula Malaysia
Congrats on your decision!
Thanks, it was a great choice 😁
*Why... ??? Stay in Penang ... Thailand is just 2hrs drive away...*
one of the reason we told u (expat @ foreigner) to explore malaysia,to find out whats here,there,the people,culture,food,differences between big cities,village,small cities behaviour,food,we local already known whats there,but u as foreigner didnt know..so get to know the vibrant rainbow of the things & rich culture,things we got here and maybe related to somewhere you from..
I’m looking forward to exploring more of the country, especially the east next
Could be cool if you showed us some of the more residential areas in KL. With nice restaurants, parks, less traffic, but still easy access and close to center... TH-camr Andrew Taylor is also in KL
I’m interested in doing this too myself, I’ll definitely do some more residential / outside of the center neighborhoods of KL
You should go to Cameron Highland
This one is on my list for sure, thank you 🙏
Keep up the good work
Thank you my friend
Thumbs up 👍 Ben
Thanks 🙏🙏😁😁
KL is a in the middle of most major cities in south east asia - travel by land, air to Singapore, Bangkok ... and its close by to Sumatra, Indonesia - least explored location
Yea very convenient to travel around
👍 Cholop 👍❤️😻❤️🇲🇾❤️ Welcome back to Home Malaysia ❤
Thank you 😃🙏
Serve you right if you target the right audience first sure . Keep it up
Thanks my friend 😁
There's plenty of place for you to try..Penang and Ipoh for food ,Langkawi for beaches, Cameron Highland for cooler climate ,Perhentian Island for snorkeling with the shark's Taman Negara for the oldest rainforest in the world experience and Melaka for unesco history sites
Yea I’m excited to visit these places. Cooler weather in Cameron highland sounds nice right about now! Thanks for the tips
You are so right Malaysia is much better than Thailand. North Malaysia is the best if you want to have your base.
I think Malaysia is a great base!
I tell so many times to European or westerners;;;;if you don't like Malaysia...don't come ! If you don't hav3 good sleep in Singapore....leave n go to other countries out of Malaysia n Singapore 🙏✌️
For westerners like fun...GO to Thailand,, Vietnam,,Laos cambodia,,the Philippines n as you western says liberal muslim then go to Indonesia then!!!!
Malaysia is land of family oriented n career in singapore ✅️
So pack your bag n go to Thailand for fun,,,good luck!!!
hi Ben, since you love nature..I recommend that you visit East Malaysia..do visit Kota Kinabalu, Sabah! You can visit Kundasang..and other beautiful places in Sabah. All the best to you.
Thanks I’m planning to check both of these out!
Try Malaysia water rafting, fishing, mount climbing, rock climbing, join the waterfall clean up. In bangsar, you can go and help out farming for free, bird park in kl, etc... in Borneo mount climbing, cave explore, long house visit go through the longest river
great adventure ahead😊
Yea I’m enjoying the adventure so far and looking forward to more
Mlysia trully Asia Salam greetings ❤ menyapa to you all from Jkrta
Hey thanks my friend, hopefully can visit Jakarta soon 😁
Being able to stay for 3 months is really super important. so much better then 1 month. Japan has same option ..90 days stay and total 180 days a year
Yea it’s huge, really makes things so much easier. Thailand did this for Russians now but not Americans 🙄
Welcomes and keep searching the best for U and settle down after U meet your requirements any places has the pro and con.. The choice is yours
Thanks it’s true for now I will just go back and forth between both countries
Ben, later just pay a visit to india and philippines. They have a large population and english speaking as well. But just that you must be ready for the rough environment. Eg food, roads, weather, transportation. No ice. Drink bottled water or boiled water.
I really want to visit both. I do feel like both will be a more intense / rough trip yea, less comfort and quality of living. Probably even more so for India. It will probably humble be pretty good going there. Hopefully I can make both of these happen in the next couple of months!
The ease of obtaining a visa is also a plus.
Yea this is big, for me 3 months on arrival is great
Dont lah, Thailand is good too
Both great in my opinion 😁
Smart move. Malaysia is a place to live more relaxed more family orientated.
Checkout Borneo's sarawak and sabah tattoo culture...try to catch their harvest festival where all their tribal culture are on display
Interesting I gotta check this out!
Try the east coast now its dry season there
I have noticed that your followers are actually more mature demographics, even though you are quite young. There are quite a lot of crazy white dudes pot loving type vlogging in Thailand. You are very different from them. Malaysian viewers would love to hear your insights about the country, I have noticed there are malays, chinese and western viewers here. I guess some people are just tired of same old things happening in Thailand.
It’s become a bit difficult to stand out with content in Thailand. So many foreign vloggers with a lot of the same types of content. I’d like to make more content there still when I visit but I really need to work on some creative ideas, it’s a bit easier in Malaysia both for the English speaking but also because there just aren’t a ton of foreign vloggers, nowhere near as much at least

Yea my audience is definitely a more mature demographic. Even though I was in Pattaya I think making videos about how I don’t drink or party attracted these types too. I use marijuana but I attract the more calm smoker types overall
hi ben..nice too meet u
Nice to meet you, hope you enjoy the videos 😁🙏
