KL is fine ..... I wouldn't say better, as it depends on what you base your assessment on. KL does have good food .... Thai has good food also .... but I wouldn't go to KL for the beer or sex. Just saying ... everywhere and everyone has different tastes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotpoom Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 "but safer and better infrastrucutre." Sorry, but couldn't help smiling to myself. I can think of a few reasons for choosing one place over another...but the "infrastructure" as a reason wouldn't immediately spring to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Danthai Posted April 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2019 Have been there twice over the years. Once for a work related Thai visa. Very nice city. People were very friend. Clean city. I loved traveling on the subway system. I can't tell you about cost of living there. The one thing I noticed mist was the way they drive. Safer and when the lights change everyone Stops. Same at crosswalks. Heavy heavy fines for not stopping. Research in Google. You can learn alot about the city, people. A number of articles have listed he cost of living and compared with different cities and countries in world. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ICECOOL Posted April 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2019 I visited first time a few weeks ago. Stayed at Robinson apartments and ate a lot nearby at a place they call eat street (Jalan Alor) . Food was just OK. Beer was twice cost of what I am used to in Hua Hin. It's a Muslim country and although people were generally friendly it didn't feel as friendly as Thailand, even compared to Bkk. It was very hot and humid and really reminded me of Bkk. You needed to be indoors in the middle of the day. Transport was not as easy as bkk but for sure way less traffic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I could never live in KL. Safer? Noooo. Pickpockets are everywhere. My friend got robbed in her driveway getting out of the car. Better food? I don't each much Thai food and I never eat Malaysian food when in KL. Better language skills yes, cleaner air sometimes. Friendlier ppl excl. airport immigration and security. See for yourself. KL may suit you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post natway09 Posted April 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 3, 2019 Having had the pleasure of living in both I would never return to KL or Malaysia to live. The national religion is getting to become a problem for me (Shah Alam is now dry ). Accommodation, night life (the good stuff) very expensive. It all gets a bit boring but depends on what you want. Go check it out for a month first before jumping 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkok has the air of festivities compared to KL which is too boring for my taste. Thai people are more sanuk and up to celebrate at the slightest opportunity. KL people more serious in their outlook and looked more stressed. I lived in KL a week every month and 2 weeks in Bangkok monthly. Amenities wise, both cities are similar but it is the people that makes the difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better English.....yes better manners.....sometimes better food......never...unless it’s Indian cheaper....depends on what you’re buying safer roads.....generally yes better air...not always everyone will have their own view and only you can decide if it’s better for you. Personally a few days in KL is enough for me. For me, Penang wins every time...but not to live. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
