Another place that has a reasonable retirement program is Sri Lanka ($15000 in a Sri Lankan bank and proof of health insurance and Bob's your uncle for a visa renewable every two years). For those motivated to look around in Southeast and Central Asia for alternatives to retirement in Thailand, Sri Lanka might be an interesting place to check out. Well, for those whose primary goal in life is something other than 'get drunk and screw' that is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tlandtday Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2019 Hard to imagine how so many posters go negative on anyone who is muslim based on the negative main stream media coverage that is essentially designed to get them to hate muslims and to scare and distract them from the real issues. And like the poster says there is a large minority that are not muslim. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bogbrush Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2019 I got back last week from Penang (arguably the most “westernised” part of the country.) Food in Georgetown was great: yes, plenty of good Indian joints but also many cheap dim sum food halls. It was noticeably more Muslim than my last visit some 20 years ago, with no bacon and sausage served at the E and O, even. Beer is not as expensive as some have posted; on average I was paying in small bars etc around 120 baht - twice the cost in Phuket, but Georgetown is also very touristy, with at least one cruise ship per day in the season. Yes the roads, pavements, transport etc are much better; dare I say (storm warning) due to its colonial past when such principles of urban development were laid down. Streets are clean (swept by the municipality) and many still named after bygone dignitaries such as Light, Farquhar, Raffles etc. True, the place is short on whores and trannies - or at least they are not on public display - but maybe KL caters more in that line. Whilst you are spared the the extremely irritating convolutions and gyrations of immigration formalities, Malaysia does have its own collection of sticks with which to beat retirees, not least the elevated entry level property purchase prices, and - yes - Islam does make life pretty difficult especially in the eastern states. Is is it worth considering a move there? Certainly a better option than Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, none of which provide even a yearly visa. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmen Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Not everyone's entire aim in life is to bang prostitutes. I am not going to try and disagree with the statistics you have quoted here, but what percentage of the Thai population do you think are made up of the bar girls and freelancers you are chasing? I would suggest much less than the 10% that you cited above, it just appears to be a lot because they are all concentrated into certain areas, and you have a 100% success rate because they just want your money. Couple that with the fact that the vast majority of Thai females who are not doing it commercially will not interact with or have relationships with foreigners other than for financial benefits, there is really little difference. Unless of course for those that choose to live their lives in a tourist bubble based around the bars and entertainment scene. Personally I find women in general in Malaysia to be much more friendly and civil than most Thai's, regardless of their faith, but maybe that has something to do with the fact that my interactions with them are not based entirely upon their 'availability'? Just ask yourself this. If you had no money, how many Thai women would you find available? How many would interact with you at any level? How many would be friendly towards you? And how many would even smile at you? Indeed I would say that would diminish the statistics to almost 0% 'availability'.Who mentioned prostitutes? I'm on my second longterm relationship with a thai employed in an international company and earns double my pension.Why would I leave that for a hooker? Why even bring that up.. Totally bizarre Does anybody go to Malaysia for hookers? I find Malay women rather unattractive compared to thais 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my BLA-L29 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Vegetarian foods are mainly Indian and Chinese vegetarian dishes. Chinese vegetarian dishes are plenty in the towns and cities. Most housing garden has them. More so when it is the full moon day, twice monthly because many Chinese eat vegetarian meals during those two days.

Locals do not have to prostitute if they are a looker. They get ‘Mia noi-ed’ or become a mistress or get legally married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmen Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If you read back through your posts I think you will see it was yourself that has been fixated upon the availability of women, indeed quoting a number of statistics on the matter. Where as most others were discussing Malaysia in general. Again your final short paragraph here is entirely about "hookers" and attractiveness of women. Question what you like and quote what you like, the fact is that the vast majority of Thai women that interact with foreigners in Thailand do so because it is their chosen career. You could most likely apply that statement to Malaysia also, given the fact that a large proportion that sell personal services in and around Asia are infact Thai women.What straight male would not enquire about the availability of farang friendly women BEFORE migrating to another country ESPECIALLY a Muslim one.Why are you so hung up on hookers? You keep bringing it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG1 Blue Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Some of the things the OP mentions relate to the fact Malaysia was once a British colony, such as 'more English spoken'. We have to remember Thailand is one of the few countries in SE Asia that has never been colonised, and so we shouldn't expect Thailand to be as westernised. Personally I'd like Thailand to remain Thai. Re Malaysia, like others have said on here I find it relatively boring, and I could never live in a Muslim majority country due to the various restrictions and contradictions that religion has with the western way of life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Razzler1973 Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have spent some time in Malaysia and love it, love KL too. Of course, it's hard to get me away from Thailand and I love Bangkok too but KL is a lot more fun and competively priced than some people in this thread are portraying. I am not a 'nightclub' kind of guy so not hitting clubs in BKK and paying those prices for beers, similarly not doing it in KL either, I am not sure the prices are too far away though. I find beers a bit more expensive, compared to the jolly 'ol pubs of BKK rather than sitting by the street (which I love too). Bars in KL have so many offers depending on time of night. There's plenty of street food in Malaysia which isn't far from Thai prices. There's also the streetside food in Malaysia and drinking beer too. You can get decent Thai streetfood, there are Thais there and Isaan food stalls. There are hookers around if that's your thing, in the streets, online and the brothel situation in Brickfields, there are also Filipino women working there to meet outside of the 'nightlife' world and no problem meeting Malay Malaysians or Chinese Malay even. I disagree about the transport a little bit, KL's transport spreads far, as does BKK, they haven't quite mastered the air con side of things, imo. If I compare how and where I drink and eat in Malaysia to Thailand it's not a huge difference, of course I prefer Thailand but I like Malaysia a hell of a lot! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmen Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Bin Poopyface started out ok but has steadily grown angry as the thread develops. Clearly he came here seeking justification for his bad choice and hoping the bashers jump on board. Well even they are not so stupid as to make a serious comparison to Thailand. I hope OP finds whatever he is looking for but its obviously not a partner.

Malaysia is ok to stay though like some people say, kinda boring . I am looking forward to stay long time in retirement soon in Thailand because I love the sanuk and maipenrai culture of the Thais. Being a predominantly Buddhist country also figure into the decision.
