Yes Thailand doesnt have a racist apartheid system dreamt up by good old Matathir.

Lee Kuan Yew was correct, nothing but a bunch of country bumpkins.

We all have different tastes, but short easy answer for me is "no".

I've seen or done most of the things on your list and think that Thailand is far, far better than Malaysia.

The food in both joints is good. Just different. To suggest food in Thailand is only about greasy fried rice is laughable.

You ever eaten food on the streets of KL? The big difference between street food in KL and BKK is grease.

I agree with Jingthing; I don't know where you are getting this grease idea from. Stop ordering Kow Pad and try some of the thousands of other dishes available. I've seen greasy food on the streets of Malaysia too (and a whole bunch of mock western crap too).

Just not getting this one

In Thailand you have poor farangs.

In Malaysia you have wealthy farangs.

yes you did ... Thailand wins hands down... you forgot to mention and the great sites of this country ,and the wonderful food which you seem you have not tried . been to bbk on a Saturday night and tried the street vendors ..incredible .

Another bash at Thailand. Starting to get boring now.

I didn't get that. I thought the OP's main point was Pattaya should be a UNESCO world heritage site. I agree. Nothing even remotely like it in the rest of the world.

IMO Thailand is MUCH better. That is why I live here. However Malaysia makes a nice holiday trip from time to time.

Outstanding!

I too agree!

"Is Malaysia better than Thailand

Example one

Both countries have nice and nasty places.

"Example two

Malaysia has the Petronas twin towers.

Thailand (Bangkok, actually) has the Elephant Building."

As a follow-on to (1), I think that both KL and Bangkok are equally ghastly and I would rather slit my throat than live in either.

"Example three

Malaysia is the gateway to Singapore.

Thailand is the gateway to Laos."

Indeed. A huge point in Thailand's favour. Singapore is incredibly boring.

"Example four

Malaysia has great Indian and Muslim food

Thailand has greasy fried rice."

Malaysia certainly does have extremely good food, often at lower prices than here. But Thai food can be very good too.

"Example five

Malaysia has the Cameron Higlands.

Thailand has Isaan."

The Cameron Highlands used to be nice, 30 years ago. Not any more.

You forgot Example Five, the biggy:

Thailand is mostly Buddhist

Malaysia is mostly Muslim

and there, I'm afraid, the discussion ends and Malaysia loses.

One interesting experiment might be to go to the Malaysian/Thai border, and see which way the (local) tourists travel. I think I know what the answer will be.

Talking about issan? Have u tried som tam? Greasy?

Tried kan dok in CMX?

Btw, what kind of street food r u talking about in BKK?

Guess u r one of those who had back packers version of pad Thai on the streets of khao San? Been to "pad thai per too pi" aka "pad thai gates of hell"?

There is nothing great about Malaysia - u r not a Muslim.

Guess the OP is either a Malaysia or a newbie in LOS.

Only point in Malaysia's favour is that it's got Thailand as a neighbour. Ask Malaysians spending their weekends in Hat Yai and they'll all agree.

I see that now. Sorry, bit slow today. It is Monday and it's snowing here. Cold and Mondays make Dean999 a slow boy.

They spend their money in the bars in Sadao/ kayu hitam. Bars where Thai guys r not allowed.

I have lived in LOS since '96 but during that time I have witnessed the following whilst working in Malaysia:-

Raiding Catholic churches during Sunday Mass to catch maids working without a permit.

Wanting to have seperate swimming pools for male and female tourists

Being able to divorce by SMSing " I divorce you" 3 times

Having the least racially integrated workplace of any country I have ever been in

3. Singapore is the gateway to Malaysia. Where will u transit? Singapore or KL?

5. Cameron Highlands isn't comparable with lots of sites in the NE or North.

Hey man -- why do you say that? I disagree.

Oh yeh...I forgot.....The IRB Rugby 7s where Thailand had won the game against Malaysia but the ref kept playing on untill Malaysia won...cheating bastards still get me angry!!

That is it in a nutshell

As a female I won't even enter an Islamic country. Women are considered lower than street dogs

Is blue better than green?

Example one

The clear lovely morning sky is blue.

Rotten stagnant water with a dead dog floating in it is green.
