Today I'm AGAIN comparing cities: This time we are comparing Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.
Which city is better and why? Where would I rather live? Which one should you consider?

As you probably already know, I'm a HUGE fan of Asia. I think that Asia is the future, and if you care about building in life this is a good place to be.
I love both Singapore and Hong Kong - they're amazing for business, and they're great places to visit. However, they're extremely expensive, and most ex-pats wouldn't consider them for a living. That's why places like Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur get more attention. They are amazing developed cities, with great weather, but without insane costs.

There is an expression that says: Do business in Singapore, live in Kuala Lumpur, party in Bangkok.

Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia is a fantastic city. I already talked about how much I appreciate this place, and I believe it is the best quality of life for every dollar spent. The downtown area is extremely clean and polished, and it looks very modern and cosmopolitan.

Bangkok is very different in many ways from KL. I have a love-hate relationship with Bangkok. Bangkok offers many things that are the best in the world: Best cinemas in the world, best groceries in the world, fancy rooftop bars, luxury hotels, and restaurants, fancy shopping malls. BUT then you step on the street and it's a chaotic mess.

What about costs? Well, the reality is that Thailand is not as cheap as it used to be. If you want to live a low-key lifestyle you can still get away without paying insane prices, but if you're looking for quality that doesn't come cheap. In that regard, Kuala Lumpur is definitely cheaper than Bangkok.
Renting or buying property and shopping is all certainly better priced in KL.

However, Bangkok offers so much - this place has been a tourist hub for so long and it had so much time to develop. Once I've heard someone saying ''no matter what you're looking for, you can find it in Bangkok''. If you're into partying Bangkok is certainly a better place to be, maybe even among the best in the world.

Kuala Lumpur, on the other hand, is a more calm, family oriented city. It doesn't have the same feel of craziness as Bangkok does.

What about visas?
Thailand offers a Thai Elite Visa, which is probably the world's greatest visa. You pay a fee of about $3000, and this includes VIP lane at the airport, being picked up at the airport and dropped off, it even includes massages!
Malaysian visa is not so easy to get, but it's not hard either. The most famous program was named ''Malaysia my second home'', but this was closed in early 2020. It will probably be reopened. At the moment you can get a Labuan director visa or a Tech Entrepreneur Visa.
