barefoot1988 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 well, grass is always greener. i would think the youngster there are more sensible and alot friendlier but maybe that is because the majority of them are able to speak fluent english and thus the communication is there? food wise, no competition. the godly coconut milk rice with chilli paste, there is savory version of french toast there, topped with minced meat, cheese and stuff, totally awesome. and stuff. i been to penang and johor for afew weeks and stayed in kl for afew months so i can't really comment much but my neighbor are alot more friendlier than my thai neighbors. it was the ramadan fasting towards the end of my stay, and towards evening, different neighbors actually invited me along to break their fast with a huge spread of food. imagine that . . i felt really welcomed and homely on a down side i got mugged twice in my life, twice in johor, twice with their parangs. they were kind enough to give back my credit cards, sim card and passport. probably an attempt to stop me from lodging a police report. but . . over here you get to see some breath taking scenery. great night market, wonderful temples and unbeatable adult entertainment and scene.

impulse Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I have lived in LOS since '96 but during that time I have witnessed the following whilst working in Malaysia:- Being able to divorce by SMSing " I divorce you" 3 times Hold the phones.... It is really difficult to believe but it was legal to do so after one case was accepted. It was then quickly made illegal.. Someone always spoils it....

Ulysses G. Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) As to which country is better, it depends on what you are looking for. Sex and booze, Thailand for sure. Buffaloes driving motor vehicles, Thailand for sure. Street food - I give Malaysia the upper hand. Public transportation, Thailand. Efficiency? Malaysia wins by a nose (then again, a one eyed Jack is king among the blind). Scams? Thailand wins. Overall, I still prefer to stay in Thailand. Sex and booze always wins.

Rancid Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 "Is Malaysia better than Thailand 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. That is it in a nutshell As a female I won't even enter an Islamic country. Women are considered lower than street dogs You gotta get with the program Rene, whenever I read in Aussie papers about demanding higher Muslim immigration, rights for Palestinians etc the authors are more often than not female. So there is obviously something you are missing in the joys of Muslim female subjugation. I mean come on what woman wouldn't want their clitoris ground off between a couple of rocks? You need to look at the bigger picture, perhaps a trekking holiday to Yemen in a bhurka could start you off? As to Malaysia, suggest the OP get on down there as fast as he can, with an exciting list of attractions like that who could bear to stay away any longer than they had to, Petronis Towers...wow.

Maybe people who didn't want their drinking disrupted by religious holidays. Maybe people who were tolerant of other people's religions. Maybe people who didn't allow their religious prejudices to drive their lives. SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe people who didn't allow their religious prejudices to drive their lives. And people who are fed up with the Thai scams, lies and lack of common sense. I met a lot of people who retired in Malaysia after spending some time in Thailand. Most of them are quite happy there and I hear none of the constant moaning which is so common at Thai Visa.

Sandman77 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 hello! I met many thai people in Thailand during the last years working in Malaysia , and All told me the same Malaysia not good would never go back Thailand better! If I asked my taxi driver in kl about Thailand his opionion to much corruption, and he think the roads not good here! But most people I think , get there opinion from another country only from the tv! Or Internet! About the food people I meet in Malaysia say thai food defenatly to spicy! For my opionion, the food is very different in Malaysia Penang has a very fat unhealthy kitchen in kl was much better, and the footparks are amazing big, much bigger then in Chiang may ! But during my stay in Malaysia when I saw a thai restaurant I go and eat thai! Vietnamese food I can maybe eat 3 time one month !

zydeco Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Better drivers in Malaysia, which could add years to your life. Easier to conduct immigration procedures in Malaysia. More freedom in Thailand. Easier to enjoy a glass of wine on my veranda in Thailand. So, if I had to make a choice, I think I would choose . . . Honolulu, perfect weather, traffic laws obeyed, and no immigration worries. Even the bums in Honolulu dress nicely. Just need to worry about a mid to upper six digit yearly income.

If you're not a Muslim, I don't see why it would be easier to enjoy a glass of wine on your verandah in Thailand. The drink shops in Malaysia don't stop serving between 2 pm and 5 pm, by the way.

nakhonandy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Having worked in KL for the first 6 months of this year (not for the first time either) I would prefer not to go back. Thailand is better in many ways, no racial/religous discrimination for one. As for they all speak perfect English, rubbish, the older ones educated in English yes, the younger generation educated in Malay, garbage. Corruption just as bad as here. Big one Freedom!!! I could go on but Thailand is vastly superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
