Being from England myself, I have been to Malaysia 6 times and Thailand 4 times, and KL is my favourite city that I have been to with Bangkok being a close second, and I have travelled to many cities around the world. Bangkok is chaos and fun where KL is serene, modern and beautiful. English is widely spoken in Malaysia compared to Thailand as it is a Commonwealth country but it is an amazing country with so many things to do. You think Thailand was amazing, just wait until you have properly explored Malaysia like I did. And I am planning to be in Malaysia again for the 7th time including coming to KL after a 2 week trip for my 4th visit to Indonesia.
By the way, since you are close to Masjid Jamek, you need to see that at night when the River of Life glows - it is amazing. But Kl has much more than that, especially with the parks and forest in the centre - Eco Forest next to Menara Tower and Perdana Botanical Gardens
I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks 👍
we can speak english not because we were formerly colonised by the british. it's simply because english is taught in school for the simple reason it's the no 1 international language. the language of business and knowledge.
Nice! Yes, English is the world's language.
Wayne, we have so much in common. Like you I have traveled all over south east Asia and have only recently returned from 60 days roaming all over Malaysia. My interest for Malaysia was sparked when I worked for three seasons in F1 2000, 2001 and 2002. Sepang was my favourite circuit. It was at the height of Michael Schumachers F1 career. Enjoy Malaysia.
Nice one Nobby, 2000 was the the start of Michael’s dominance for Ferrari. What a great time to be working g in F1 👍
Yup, those days were the greatest f1 sounding machine. Proud to be able to watch schumi the greatest driver during his years here. Just come back nobby and enjoy your retirement here.
Schumacher was so amazing, you've likely heard of Tom Brady, he was the Brady of F1, or Brady was the Schumacher of the NFL. Both had 7 championships. Both were handsome and absolutely meticulous over every detail, whether in the film room or the garage. Amazing athletes.
@@Ameng3471 I travel all over now and have been retired for eight years. Next winter will be spent between Vietnam and Malaysia. I love south east Asia so much...
We are a former British colony and English is our 2nd language. But bear in mind that there are many migrant workers from Bangladash, Pakistan, India,Indonesia who don't speak English.
Thanks, it’s good to know that not everyone speaks English here.
@@WalkAboutWayne those who can't speak english neither Malay .... confirmed, they are migrant and not Malaysian
All Malaysian citizen can speak English fluently. Love❤ Malaysia 🇲🇾

Wow KL looks like a beautiful city. I will add it to the bucket list.
Great city 👍
😮😮😮
Malaysia is my second favourite country in SE Asia after Thailand. People are friendly, food is good & varied, infrastructure is brilliant, 90-day visa & decent value for people from Europe, Australia & N. America. I was living a few months at a time in Penang before COVID. I think Thailand lovers are sceptical because it does not have the crazy nightlife, but that is not everything especially as you get older.
I think it could be my second favorite already, also. The food and the people are great. Maybe a bit more expensive than I'm use too but I'm sure I could find a cheap way of living here. Thanks.
Hey Wayne! My very first visual exposure to Malaysia and its people; quite impressed with its modern image, the cleanliness, minimal traffic and most friendly citizens speaking proper English. Malaysia is already on my bucket list of countries to visit and experience. Nice that you split the video into day and nighttime views. Good video and description of this beautiful country!
Thank you ! I’m supposed by this city myself. Very clean and modern place. It gets busy but never seems overly crowded. It’s a nice place
I have only been to KL a handful of times and it has blown me away every time.
Yes, it has that effect, for sure.
It makes you feel welcomed and you don't feel like everyone is trying to get at your money like in some other SEA countries.😅
@@nickloong The farang tax!
What an amazing city Wayne. My dear parents used to go there regularly from Oz and meet up friends that travelled from the UK and they always raved on about how they loved it there. This video reinforces to me what they said and brings back some pleasant memories.. Beautifully presented and enjoyed the on the hour light show too. Thanks buddy 🤩
Cheers mate, it sure is a great city.
Cost of living is very affordable and the city looks nice and clean.
It’s reasonable for the style of living, for sure.
Affordable cost of living is simply because Malaysia has natural resources.
KLCC area, the KLCC park and fountain, the Petronas Twin Towers are such a beautiful place, day and night, what a lovely iconic landmark in KL.
In the podium between the Petronas Twin Towers, where you saw the Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 Car, the front lobby with beautiful chandeliers, it's where the Petronas Philharmonic Concert Hall is.
I agree, really nice area. Thanks
@@WalkAboutWayne Wonderful. I really enjoy watching KLCC. 😁
I love Malaysia so much, I just bought a seaside condo with a view to die for. In the US, that view would cost oh $5-10 million dollars.
It's a great country from the little that I've seen. Sounds like you have a nice place.
No horns honking... thats nice. Beautiful looking city. Hope to visit someday soon.
Yes, not to many. That's a big thumbs up for no honking.
@@WalkAboutWaynehonking is not the culture in Msia
Bruh honking is considered as rude in Malaysia and can cause scuffle or even streetfight unless under emergency circumstances.
Thanks you Wayne and your new friends in K.L for warming my heart on this cold, wet and dark day is miserable old Portland. I'm ready and longing to go back to Malaysia.
BTW, many Malaysian's English was better then mine as well.
Cheers mate!
Thanks for the great message Jack. I hope it warms up for you a bit buddy. Yes, they speak proper English better than me haha
@@WalkAboutWayne Thanks Wayne. Next week supposed to be up to about 90F (33C) and the world's worst pollen an asthma season to return in full bloom (until at least August), something that keeps many of us prisoner, and something that never effected me in Japan and SE Asia. It was like paradise to be able to enjoy summer weather without ending up sick.
Despite whatever sacrifices and annoyances you may have to endure there, I'd say you're living what many of us would prefer and dream of. .
Hmmm.... I was staying at a hotel room near Masjid Jamek station back in November 2023. The SOGO mall isn't far from your lodging. I was in KL for one week only. Thanks for the video and enjoy your stay there, mate.😊
I like this area, easy to get places and the food is amazing around here.
What a place looks mint , compared to thailand where nothing looks finished ..
That’s true 🤣. Kuala Lumpur is definitely a top looking city.
When I made KL I thought I was back home in Melbourne AU....similar in many ways...
Yes, it does have the feel of some UK cities also.
Yes, very similar to some UK cities also. 👍
yeaa...i tought i was the only person who noticed that..especially in cdb but melbourne traffic not quite complicated compare to Kl.
yeahh of course ..the big different is..
theres no trams in KL but have a good MRT system which is not available in melbourne. .
Hi Wayne, me and the Mrs went there in the 80’s, it has changed so much, it’s looking great. The people are great aren’t they? Great Vlog!, you got to get to the Cameron Highlands for a day or two. Great strawberries and a bit cooler.
Nice one Phil, yes great people mate. 👍
Bobby D is in Malaysia 🤩 - lots of colour & happy people not too busy - good vibes ✌️👌👍👋😃🙏
Cheers Ant! Bobby Dazzler mate.
I never see the fountain show since I rarely went to Kuala Lumpur, so
TQ for the show! and the choice of song are perfect!
TQ!
No problem! I really enjoyed the fountain show. Thanks

@@WalkAboutWayne you're most welcome 🤗
I went to a place just outside of the city in Chiang Mai and it was the beginning of a water swimming hole. It was built in an old mining/excavation site that had filled with water. Someone bought the area and added a little coffee/lunch place, some floaties for rent and some places to climb and dive from carved out of the natural surroundings. I wish I could tell you how to get there but I don't remember the exact directions it was some years ago now and I am sure it has been either further developed or built into something no longer free with very basic areas to park in. KL looks great! Enjoy.
Thats The Grand Canyon in Hang Dong 👍 an old quarry turned into a water park. Cheers 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne Yes! You've been? Have you been recently? I have not seen it for some years and wonder if it is built up more now.
I was there briefly in March 2020, quick visa run to KL before the borders closed. The beer was quite pricey down the main bar street, but I got a cheaper beer down Chinatown and the food was good. I will go back there as English is widely spoken unlike Thailand, even though I know a little bit of Thai, enough to get by.
Nice! Yes beer seems a bit pricey but I found some cheap food about.
Welcome to KL, Malaysia. Hope that you have had a good time and a pleasant stay. Have a good weekend.
Thank you Yasin 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne You are welcome. 😁
Beautiful Wayne. I want to go there too.
Well worth a visit 👍
KL looks awesome Wayno,
Yes! It’s a great modern city.
We went to KL last year and thought that it was a mix of Bangkok and Singapore.
That's why it lies in between;-)
I’ve not been to Singapore but KL gives me vibes of the west and Bangkok. Mixture
thats what i thought too!
Welcome to Malaysia Wayne. Always enjoy your videos.
Thank you my friend 🙏
Most people s in Malaysia active when sun goes down around 5-12am ehich is not too hot. If you like nature you can go to Perdana Lake Garden and Titiwangsa Lake Garden but don’t go on midday, just too hot. If you looking for local food, please visit Kampung Baru , oldest and the only one Malay village in KL city. Also here in Malaysia many immigrants came from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar etc and most of them can’t speak English. Anyway enjoy your stay in KL/Malaysia
That's for the positive comments about Malaysia❤️
Thank you 🙏
The bird chirping sound feels like i am in a jungle.
Lovely sound. It does sound like a jungle, I agree.
Nice one Wayne.
Glad you're enjoying KL so far. One of my favourite cities. Looking forward to see where your arsh goes.
Take it easy.
Great city mate. Loving it 👍
I like Malaysia the food is amazing you can eat Malay Indian and Chinese not as spicy as Thailand
I agree, the food is incredible.
Love your vids. You are always genuine and I can feel your happiness coming through this video. Malaysians seem super friendly. Keep goin mate!
Thank you !! Yes, I'm super happy to be here and the Malaysian people are amazing.
We thoroughly enjoyed watching the Kuala Lumpur Scenery, my friend. I life in KL too! The city's beauty was truly mesmerizing and captivating. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience with us!
Yes, it’s a great city, I’ve loved it so far. Thanks
You should come back during festive seasons. A lot more happening!
I’ll hopefully be back in Malaysia soon 👍
Nice city it’s so quiet Wayne nice train service as well music is good very friendly people Wayne
Thanks mate 👍
love the video mate. welcome and hope you have fun here.
Thank you ! Malaysia is great 👍
Great video. I have been curious about what selfie stick that you use. You always have great transitions.
Thank you! Just a normal cheap tripod stick buddy. Nothing flashy.
Hope you enjoyed KL ..
haven’t spent time in KL for ages
KL is quiet early in the morning because the locals are stuck in traffic coming into KL if it’s on the weekday
Thanks! Yes, really enjoying KL. Great city 👌
Wel- come2 to my besutiful MALAYSIA SIR :😮
Thank you my friend 👍
live in KL does not really start early morning...most of the shop open at 10am...some people do start their work at 7.30am to 9am...thats why you will see not many people in the morning..and many South Asian people like India, Bangladesh, Pakistan tourist came to KLCC, so dont assume those looks like Malaysian Indian are local, most probably they are Bangladeshi or Indian.
Yes, late starters like Thailand. Malaysia seems more quiet though.
Very nice park, was there a few years ago and really enjoyed it. It can get a little crowded. Think that same F1 car was there when we visited the mall. If not the same one, one just like it.
Yup, it is the lewis hamilton winning f1 car, the petronas Mercedes f1 car since petronas is the title sponsor for mercedes, but without the engine ofcourse 😂😂😂
The park is a nice area, I can see how it attracts people , especially with the towers and mall. Not sure what year Lewis’ car is on the wall. But probably the last championship car.
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾 to all of you. Don't forget visit to my beloved State of Sabah "Land Below The Wind" 🙏
Thank you! It's great to be in Malaysia.
Stay hydrated wayne. Depending of your area, it could scourching hot and some pretty wet. El nino hit us quite hard so just stay safe and hydrated
Raining most days and humid . Thanks
Welcome to Malaysia. Enjoy your stay here
Thank you! It’s nice to be in Malaysia 🇲🇾
Great camera for the night scenes. The colours and images are fantastic. Enjoy all the different foods on offer in Malaysia. They don't call it a foodies paradise for nothing. Enjoy! Lol😊
Thanks ! The footage came out ok. I was happy with it.
most of the people you saw at klcc area are not local malaysians. i see indonesians, bangladeshi etc. i wish you asked the people you met where they're from. the ones who wanted a photo with you were definitely indonesians. local malaysian never take photo with foreigners, unless you asked them to.
All very nice people 👍
I liked KL but I didn't love it, but watching your video of it makes me kinda miss it. LOS is still number 1 for me but Malaysia is a close 2nd. Hope you're getting stuck into some nasi kandar 😋
I see what you mean. I will do a video at the end about my feelings. Thailand still at the top for me.
Great place to be Wayne, i lived there 6 months. If you have time go for a day trip to Malakka, great history. Stay safe.
Cheers mate. Yes, it's a great place.
you should walk in KL botanical garden and titiwangsa lake garden.Both are big garden.The botanical garden build by british during the occupation pre indiependent.
Maybe one day 👍
Pip pip tally ho, saying Ello from Malacca, been here for over 2 years as a spouse from England. I really fancy the lifestyle here. mooch around the town, mate, have a lovely day
Thank you buddy, it’s a great place to be 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne Sure, mate. English is widely spoken here in town that's quite the bright side of living up for me.
May all your wishes come true in your heart feel soul
Thank you!
The couple who chatted with u in the park were indonesian tourists, i could tell from their accent, n the people who wanted to take a photo with u were not Malaysians because Malaysians r not fazed by foreigners n we r a well travelled people. 😊
Nice! They was really nice people 👍
Reminds me of the dancing fountain outside of the Dubai Mall.
Nice 👌
I thought I was crazy when I told a Thai person about a bird that says or sounds, "for real, for real ", but I would like to see what that bird looks like bc I don't know what that boogie looks like, will visit Thailand again, hopefully b4 the year is up. Stay well...Maxi of SF now in Texas
Nice one! Come see the bird 👍
Beautiful clean country but Malaysia is like going to Grandma's house after 48 hours.
It's time to get back to the cool uncle's house ( Thailand). Cheers!
😂😂😂
Couldnt agree more 😂😂😂
We are the retirement home for retired people 😂😂😂😂
Haha nice. I always preferred Grandma’s house though. Pocket money, great food and can do whatever. Boring at uncles. I agree about Thailand though. Special.
😂😂😂
Hello. Welcome to my country
Thank you 🙏
Awesome stuff mate home of my favourite all time food coconut curry yum yum
Cheers mate. The food is so good 👍

Thank you! It’s great to be in Malaysia ❤️
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 🙏
Miss my City very much. Beautiful KL ❤
It's a great city! Hope you can come back soon.
Love it. Definitely on my list.
Well worth visiting 👍
A right old Bobby Dazzler Wayne, take care. 🇹🇭
Cheers mate! Bobby Dazzler !
Wayne, also if you want to try authentic Malaysian food, seefood, Indian food try a walk along Jalan Alor, Bukit Bintang. It's a hive of activity and makes a fantastic subject for your vlog...
Both great places. Been eating there the last couple nights. A bit to touristy for me but I will have a vlog soon 👍
Plus Kampung Baru
Enjoyed in Malaysia.. 🤘
Thank you 🤩
Cool
Thanks 👍
Hi. You can ride the GoKL buses. It is FREE.

We are so happy in that time by saying good morning sister..anyway im muslim and we mix together with love to other human being without religion or skincolor barrier.. Sorry for my bad english..
Thank you for sharing! Your English is fine, better than mine 👍
Welcome to Kuala Lumpur 🙋
Thank you 😃
Thanks for your nice video. Thanks for honest comments. If need to tell the truth. Just tell us for improvements
Thank you!
I visited the city lately too 😍✨
Nice! Hope you had a great time 👍
was this on the 1st of may? if so, it was labour day, a public holiday. that should explain the quiet morning.
I think it was the 2nd or 3rd.
Malaysian here. Unusual to see the street is empty. During Eid week?
Yes, it was mid week. Was there a holiday? I know is was labor day, but this was after
@@WalkAboutWayne if mid week, labour day on Wednesday, a national holiday. Maybe thats why its empty. If Thursday or Friday only explanation I can think of is either too early or the work force is extending holiday till end of the week, which common in Malaysia.
Beautiful city
It sure is 👍
Hi Wayne, another great vid bra.
loved the Sax
Was that Too Many Zooz? I love those guys.
Nice one buddy. I’m lost on the Sax though mate ?
@@WalkAboutWayne look up Too Many Zooz Bedford
Wayne, u should take a bus or train to Singapore.
I've only just arrived in Malaysia 🤣
馬來西亞現在很紅了😅
👍👍
Tremendous Wayne 🙂
Cheers Mark 👍
Hi Wayne, how long does it take you to edit a video like this? Thank you for your content. Beautiful way to end my evening here in Chiang Mai.
Not to long Michael. I have my own style now, so I can quickly get it how I like it. 1 or 2 hours max. Hope you enjoyed Chiang mai.
@@WalkAboutWayne That's awesome. Every video you create adds a bit of light to the world.
Nice one Wayne 🙂
Thanks Kirsty 👍
Very nice video, thank you…
Thanks buddy!
Good on ya mate.
Cheers John 👍
Excellent narration hahahah
Thanks 👍
This is the advantage of stationing in Thailand. Short and cheap flights to the many nearby great countries.
Others will say the same of Malaysia, depending on their preferences and lifestyles etc.
Yes mate, easy to get around .
Come to melaka eat durian
Mmmm sounds good
What time were you out and about? I found the city quite busy and a bit hard to navigate even with the trains, monorail, busses etc. So funny how different we found it. I guess we never got out the door before 10am though. And maybe compared to London it would be very quiet.
I think this was about 9:30am. Kuala Lumpur was one of the easiest for me to get around. I thought the public transport was great for getting around, I never had a problem getting anywhere.
I was in a great location though, right next to the LRT line.
@@WalkAboutWayne Yeh, I think maybe we just ended up lost on foot following Google maps. Part of the fun though. 🤣
It used to be a British colony, they speak English.
That’s right 👍
How can it be 6k view in just a few hours ? 😮
Malaysia
Alcohol is a little pricey but I never drink 😆
Yes, luckily I won’t be touching alcohol
❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏♥️
Like any big city, KL doesn’t represent Malaysia. I hope you explore the other provinces.
True, it plays a part though. Maybe one day 👍
Were nice 👍
Thanks 🙏
Are you still in KL or already gone back to Thailand?
Still in KL
@@WalkAboutWayneI suggest you to go to Bukit Bintang at night... you can take mrt to go there
Nice video..
Thank you
welcome to KL
Thank you 🇲🇾🇲🇾
Looking Great Mate!
Aren't you heading up the Petronas Towers??
Cheers Tom. No mate I won’t be 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne ah too bad. Would love to see that. I guess I have to go myself 555
@ThailandTom Do the KL tower instead. You’ll get a better view 👍
A Pair of Bobby Dazzlers them Petronas Towers mate!!
A right pair of Dazzlers mate.
you gonna head up to Penang? Good to see KL, this be a bit up-market than the bits I'd stay and wander hahaha enjoy yourself
Try visit Mid Valley Mall.
Thanks 👍
