    I would not complain about Kuala Lumpur being underrated. I will hate it if many people know about it. I do not want Kuala Lumpur crowded with craziness. I love Kuala Lumpur stay as friendly family places. That is just the way how we brought and grew up, peacefully and harmoniously.

      I'm from KL and recently went to HCM. Honestly, I can't stay there due to the pollution, horrendous traffic, very undeveloped and not international friendly. Maybe because when you have stayed in a more developed city, it's hard to stay elsewhere, I'm still okay with BKK though. Holidays are fine though. :)

Have plenty of friends there in our age group 60+ who enjoy going out and having fun on the weekends. You are so right the movie theaters there are way cheaper we go often and the movies are first run and sometimes come out even before hitting the US theaters go figure. The malls are humongous and put the USA malls to shame LOL. Our favorites are Pavilion, KLCC. Mid Valley/Megamall ,One Utama and Bangsar shopping. Food is amazing...from Chinese to Indian to Fusion to Western... Hopefully we'll be able to go sometime this year. Good luck in your future travels.

    Having lived in Bangkok 10 years, i would give second thoughts about coming back to live there now in spite of all my thai network of friends and the fact i still refer to Thailand as a second home. Cost of living has risen dramatically - everything is about the money now - and while international grocery stores are easily found, the price of imported food is extortionate because of very high import duties. When Big C was the property of French retailer Casino, and when Carrefour was still operating in the country, they both carried a nice selection of affordable though limited selection of imported food. Now you need to rely on Gourmet market / Food Hall by Central and Villa supermarkets and they are really, i mean really expensive. I never thought i would say this, but my destination of choice for moving back to SEA would have to be KL where i found the cost of living to be way more reasonable than Bangkok these days.Apartments, choice of local cuisines, mix of Asian cultures, english spoken everywhere, close proximity to Singapore, incredibly cheap imported food items from all over the world : KL has turned into a very fine place to live !

    I’ve lived in Bangkok for four years. You give a fair assessment. I will point out that AQI is Bangkok is very seasonal. The air is bad from about mid-December through March. They rest of the year if very good. Also, Bangkok is very good for cultural events. The art scene is very good. Music and dance is very good. The Bangkok Symphony Orchestra is excellent and plays free concerts in the park January & February. And Thai cultural festivals are not to be missed. Finally, Thai street food is world renown. I’ve visited KL once and I can see that it is more family friendly.

KL is also cleaner, and people are more educated in KL and suburbs. In BKK i get ripped off, but in KL never happened in my life. And I have been to both over 13 times. Lived in both too. Love both countries, Vietnam not much, too low class people trying to rip me off too.

    Fair comments.
    To live, KL is the best to live. Easy to adapt as English is more widely spoken comparing to those cities and at the same time, to learn Chinese too. (Best combination of English and Chinese as if you have 'conquered the most universal and most spoken language on earth).
    We have superb medical facility
    although (I feel our medical tourism marketing isn't as aggressive as in Bangkok).
    Ample food varieties to choose in KL. You may easily get Thai food in KL but not necessarily it is easily avail to find Malaysian food in Bangkok/HCM.
    We are not perfect but we at least understand and have higher tolerance level (culturally and religion) as Malaysia is a multi racial community.
    To live in a place is ability to adapt and being inclusiveness in the local community; not just staying within expat area or focusing on the touristy areas. Cost is main factor when comes to retirement and to have the least major language barrier. KL has big selection of affordable and luxury living (depending on individual financial ability and their choice)
    In contrast, I personally like Thailand for tourism purposes and to 'wind down'.
    Am proud to be Malaysian and is a perfect place in an imperfect way.

    Great video guys!!!
    Well, I am a Malaysian Chinese, I don't want to sound as if I'm being biased at all. But after being to the other 2 countries over & over again, I've to say, Malaysia is still a little bit nicer. Over all, the things you mentioned basically. I do love Vietnam, especially north part. However, the amount of bikes and noises & lack off rules, drove me nuts. Their food is great though. Bangkok, for me is way too crowded, less English speaking, even though they may have more things there to choose from. I do enjoy being there like a few days, but definitely not a long term. Bars & clubs aren't my thing, so basically there's nothing much left after gone there for 1/2 a dozen times, every time, it seems to get busier. Moreover, their local food, isn't my fave. International food, yes. But Malaysia has those too.
    With that being said, I think all this 3 countries are great!!!
    We hope Malaysia continues to deliver... & yes, it's rather underrated, but is ok. 😊
    Cheers from PJ/Malaysia

    The food category is too much focused on imported food in my opinion. And thereby missing local markets altogether. If you want to live budget-friendly, markets are the way to go. Supermarkets in Bangkok can be very expensive compared to the markets, especially if you go for imported producst. And you can get a wide variety of vegetables and fruits and other things at the markets for a much more affordable price. I have not been to Saigon or KL but I can speak of Manila for example having spent some time there, going to markets is a great affordable option there as well.
    Since I am considering going to KL very soon, maybe someone can shed some light on food markets with local food in KL here?

If they are burning in Kalimantan state of Indonesia ( on Borneo ) or on the island of Sumatra then it can be bad anywhere in Malaysia depending on where the wind blows.

Sometimes even on par with Hawaii ;) Many years ago while in the Malaysian State of Sabah, the air was always super clean even though it is close to Kalimantan.

In Malaysia they can't do it because of a very strict law against open burning, but when they venture into Indonesia, stuff they can't do in Malaysia, they do it in Indonesia.

I hope Malaysian government can punish all these Malaysian companies who are responsible for open burning in Indonesia and exporting haze to Malaysia.

      I think each of the 3 countries offer a very good food, be it in a proper restaurant or street food.

You won't have a problem of having to eat the same thing in Malaysia. If you are bored with Malay food, you can always have a choice of Chinese (which also diverse in itself with Cantonese, Hokkien, Hakka, Teochew cuisine, etc) and Indian (also diverse with Tamil, Punjabi, Benggoli, Kerala, Chettinad cuisine etc.), and other regional and ethnically special cuisine).

As for Thai food in Malaysia, if you live in KL longer you will realise that at night time particularly in Malay residential area, the Thai restaurant ( in Malay we call it kedai or warung Tom Yam) are all over the place. They have conquered the night food scene in many Malay areas in KL. These numerous Tom Yam restaurants are mostly operated by the Malays who came from Southern Thailand. Because of the language, cultural and ethnic similarities between Malays in Malaysia and Malays in Southern Thailand, they brought the Thai cuisine into our shore, and we in Malaysia are pretty spoilt with choice when it comes to Thai food.
