Malaysia ramps up effort to draw in Thai tourists fed up with politics at home

And i can stay 90 days without need of a visa

TG has suspended the A380 to HongKong until next month at least, using 747-400 instead.,so that must be bad news for tourism over ChineseNew Year

Who knows how stable Malaysia will be in the not too distant future.

One Malaysian State has already decided to have the Weekend on Friday and Saturday for Religious reasons.

A bunch of Muslims also want to ban anyone who is NOT Muslim form speaking the name, Allah. They confiscated a batch of Bibles a couple of weeks ago because they apparently mention Allah. I'm not a devout Christian but this all seems like the start of something in Malaysia that could turn very nasty.

I doubt it will make much of a difference, but every little kick up the a$$ for Thailand to sort out longstanding tourist related scams and safety issues etc. can't be a bad thing. The TAT need to realise that if their product isn't right, people will take their business elsewhere.

Agree, will not make much difference. I would say a good 50% of people if not more come here for whats not on offer elsewhere...I wonder what that might be ?

What LOS lacks are the gorgeous Vietnam, PRC, PI, Indo, etc, ladies available in SG & KL.

Note that Singapore is only intrested more in wooing $$$ and investors,not regular tourists..

Malaysia/Singapore the hub of good times. I don,t think so ,having been there many times, I,m always glad to come back to Thailand.

You said it how it is. Malaysia and Singapore have not got the girls and cheap living that's what we all here for...Don't let anyone tell you there here for the weather and food etc rubbish

Geylang in Singapore can be quite cheap for everything.

KL is about on par with BKK. KL hotels often come with special service MP's.

Both have types of girls LOS doesn't have.

[oldthaihand99]

Has Malaysia got as many gorgeous bar girls as Thailand?

Just a naïve question

VN females are more gorgeous (whiter & bustier).

VN cheaper than Siam. Politicly stable also.

Hate to burst your bubble but many of us are not here for those things, cheaper living costs help but the climate is an absolute must, as is tax freedom! It also helps that I live in an area that supplies garden produce to many parts of the Western world, most of the food I eat is is truly fresh rather than being transshipped, warehoused, trucked, frozen, trucked, thawed and so on. So, trade those things for girls, naw, not a chance.

Both HKG & SG have more income tax freedom for foreign income than LOS.

If i stayed in Siam 12 months a year i'd have a substantial increase in payments owed.

Malaysia? I don't know about taxes, but it seems about as cheap as Thailand.

That's a plus for Malaysia & may work for SG as well, depending on the PP.

Sounds exactly like LOS! Though i would edit out "very dangerous" & replace it with occasionally dangerous re petty crimes. Stuff happens in the USA too. If you want to go somewhere that is extremely safe, try Singapore.

Geylang has cheap hotels, girls, food. Bacardi breezer around a dollar or two more than in BKK 7-11's. Fruit cheaper than Foodland on soi 5, BKK.

Malaysia is very nice. Much more organized, but also a bit more expensive than Thailand. Malaysia seems to have a grwing professional middle class, too. I like the way they follow traffic rules.

Have been to malaysia many times. Cant think of a single time anybody was rude, aggressive, hostile, contemptuous and can think only once or twice when i was slightly over charged in a tourist area.

Thailand stands out within the region for its frequently unpleasant behaviour and attitude. I visit thailand despite the people, as i still like the feel of the country in general a d i have many foreign friends. I dont know how thais became the ugly culture of asia but they need to do something about it because the world a getting rapidly sick of their shit.

Oh my Buddha !!!! may I ask where in Thailand you visit , ill be sure to cross it off my places to visit list, where I live I have never experienced any behavior even close to what you have mentioned..

I can't remember when I was last time with an Asian, I don't like Asians that way at all.

Many people are not here for that at all, but because the lack of snow, and it is very cheap place to stay for several months out of the year. I have few friends foreigners, all 30s 40s, only one guy I know is here mainly cos of easy lay.

I also have a few friends who are foreigners, and all of them like to get laid and Party . In 23 years I,ve never been hassled violence wise by Thais, stooged yes by girls,, but you live and learn and its exciting being here, not like Malaysia and boring Singapore. I also cant remember when I was with a fat,lazy,smoking ,beer drinking,loud mouthed western woman, a gracious female asian,who doesn,t drink or smoke for me. many people are here for the cheap sex and freedom or have you not gone to Patpong,Cowboy,Samui,Phuket,Thermae,German beer bar soi 7,really anywhere there are westerners and bars,even on the red bus, remember this, my favorite saying. no farang no satang .

What i mean by 'official' is that it's the only 'recognized' area by SG Govt for red light district,legal or illegal.

Of course there are many illegals operating by the back streets as well.
