I am originally from Singapore and moved to the US for over 20 years, currently living in Scottsdale, AZ. I would retire in Thailand or Malaysia. Cameron Highland, Genting and Ipoh are my top choices in Malaysia. I would not retire in Singapore cos of the cost of living, lack of outdoor and hot weather. You got it right. Malaysians are very friendly people and they are real, just like Thais. You won't get fake smiles, like in some places in the developed world... where they don't really want you to be there.
Thanks for the comment! We visited Arizona a few years ago but we have never lived there. If we were to move back to the US we would consider living there. Thanks for watching our video!
U have to admit Malaysians are the best viewers on yt n generous too... Theres nothing wrong to spread the love and appreciate whats around us... Keep the upbeat vibes guys...
Cameron Highlands, Genting Highlands, Fraser hill, Bukit tinggi, Kuala lembing, these are Highlands resorts locate in the state of Pahang. don't forget to visit our national parks in Kuala Tembiling, climb the second higher mountain in Malaysia and some jingle activity.Love our country, share our peace and joy! God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
USD300 vs USD4 is crazy. I feel blessed being Malaysian Oh and I absolutely agree on the weather. I envy people living there. They save a ton on electricity 😂
@@adamcnl1 maybe for some (probably most people) but I've never had the need for the water heater whenever I was there. So for me it's not an issue at all
Used to live in Raleigh, not far from Charlotte. Now living within 45 minutes to Cameron Highlands. Love the country roads and peach picking around Concord.
As a Malaysian, I believe that you are an 'ambassador' to USA to witness and experience the untold story about Malaysia, and become the testimony of how Malaysia do welcome tourist with our own hospitality. Do enjoy your good time here, and since RMCO is being extended towards the end of this year, do explore other parts of the country and enjoy the varieties of food here that you may not be able to easily get in other countries
Many bad things are said about the US but as a Malaysian I had the best time of my life living 4 years in NY & I would like to live in US again if I have the opportunity. My favourite things about US are the sports, cheap, big & nice cars, many places to visit, well maintained facilities, the colleges, nature etc
When you compare Cameron Highlands to Charlotte, North Carolina, is like comparing apples to oranges. It is like comparing NYC to Tucson, AZ. Cameron highlands is a small tourist town where Charlotte is a major city in NC. But I still like your RUclips video because you managed to give others a general perspective about how Malaysia is like in general. Our health care is a government runs' system, that's why you can get your medications so cheap. Overall, I'm really glad you enjoy Malaysia and hope you can come back and visit us again soon.
Thank you for the vlog. I live in California with my Malaysian wife. We have visited CR on a couple of occasions when we were back to visit family. Your observations about the place are spot on. We hope to retire back in Malaysia one day. Safe travels.
I really admire your calmness in handling the lockdown. To be stuck in a small town like Cameron for three months is quite something. I am sure it would drive me crazy.
A lot of city folks would drive there over the weekend just to enjoy fresh stuffs ie food, fruits, vegans, air, weather. There’s have a golf course there as well. Even some singaporeans loves to go there :)))
owh wow, thank u for the kind words there sir, what u compared is what u already experienced is 1st hand..hope u enjoy your stay in Malaysia..Terima Kasih
Cameron highland is our weekly gateway in mlysia to release stress. The air and cooler temperature is a great place to escape the heat in a tropical country like mlysia. Glad u like cameron highland.
Fully agreed bro' from Penang. Cameron Highlands very nice place to relax . Try not to drive up during weekends or public holiday, " jam teruk" . Salam Sejahtera.
Nice content! Glad that you're enjoying your stay in Cameron. I live in Ipoh near the road to Cameron. If you have the chance, you should come to Ipoh to experience the food and environment here. 🙂
Thanks 4 ur approval. U r lucky MCO in Cameron... In my opinion, u r so blessed and the most important u feel safe during the hardest time we all have to endure in history of all mankind...
if malaysia is good for you then it's already a enough compliment for us. no need to compare with any country. it's so cringeworthy..so sugary! 😂😂😂. btw thank you so much for your video.
I think it's good to have a comparison, nothing wrong with that. It makes the content a lot more interesting and gives us better perspective. Thanks for sharing Snail Travelers =), I would say HIGH SKY's comment is the cringeworthy and unnecessary one around here =)
@@GTChow ..excuse me! it's you who need to get lost! write down your own comment. your opinion is unnecessary as well! if you really didn't mind to reply mine! why bothered??🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂
Malaysia is good to visit because the currency is weak. If you are earning a meagre wage in Malaysia, you will not like it. There are about 1 million Malaysians working in Singapore because there are more jobs there and the currency is 3x higher. Singapore is just a tiny island but its economy is big. Malaysia is a 3rd world country with useless politicians
Wow!Thanks for your views & enjoy staying in M’sia,there are plenty of beautiful places to explore,varieties of yummy food to enjoy,stay healthy & safe,cheers😊
I love Cameron Highlands too.I hope the Govt will not cut trees for buildings n keep the place cool by planting more trees.Maybe can even restrict number of ppl going there per year. I love the tea plantation, cool weather, farms.Veg are v fresh n the ppl are v friendly.
Cameron highlands is one of my favourite places as a kid to go to they had amazing views, food and many more. My sister loved the strawberries there too
We look like same flag right but its different. Only have 1 reason why Malaysia have stripes. 1 its from majapahit If u want to know about our flag u can reply my comment and i will Answer u Question about our flag
Yes, we just found out that the RMCO has been extended so that will give us more time to explore new parts of Malaysia. We passed through Ipoh on the way from Cameron Highlands to Penang, but didn't stop to see the city. So we will probably go back to Ipoh so that we can spend more time there. Thank you!
@@calvick980 Thanks for the suggestion! We do plan to visit Melaka now that the RMCO has been extended and it seems like we can now stay in Malaysia until the end of the year. Thank you!
No need large supermarket coz there's huge farms in Cameron Highlands where u get fresh produce direct from farmers and 3 times cheaper as compared to the city
Cameron Highland is a district, while Tanah Rata is a small town... There are no supermarket & other entertainment (cinemas bowling alley), big hospital etc because it is a tourism & farmers community.. It's located 1-2 hours up in the mountain, so it's not worth it to build supermarket & big hospital etc because the community is small & the land value there is expensive as hell (tourism land plot).. If you said that your cost of living there is 900$ there, you probably can live with 500$ at Taiping (same cold climate as Cameron, because its always rain).. Lunch can be around $3 for 2 person...
I think your house in Charlotte is a lot nicer than the Airbnb in Cameron Highlands, it's so tastefully decorated! ♥️ I wouldn't like to live in Cameron Highlands where you don't get a lot of choices when it comes to shopping; I love the shopping malls, supermarkets, superstores, megastores in big cities cuz you can easily grab good bargains.
Actually there are new and first mall/supermarket at berinchang under construction called Billion supermarket.dont know when will be open.very glad to hear that people here treat you nice.
thanks for the compliment... my last trip to Cameron highland was at least 15 yrs back, I used to be go there every year for 5-6 yrs and sometimes, twice a year. then, the weather is very chilly especially in the nights. If you have visited some old bungalows (mostly owned by corporate firms) m,ost if not all of them have a fireplace in the house. Hope your next destination would give you an equally good experience.. Penang is good with food; Nasi Kandar and Chow Kue Teow are my favorite food there. Every states in Malaysia gives you a different experience as Malaysia is full of diversity in cultures. Hope you enjoy your stay and please stay safe.
During the covid and no interstate travel, Cameron Highlands is not congested and your 3 months in a perfect climate is better than any town on the low lands. I like the cool weather . Glad you had a nice stay.
WOW..AMAZING YOUR OPONION ABOUT MALAYSIA IS VERY GOOD..HOPE U CAN ENJOYED IN MALAYSIA...HAVE A NICE DAY..I LOVE AMERICA TOO..I WAS IN FLORIDA AND BOSTON..LONG YEARS A GO 1990.
You will certainly visit other parts of Malaysia, but from what I feel, no matter where you go, you'll miss Cameron Highlands because of the cool weather and clean air. Other than Genting Highlands and Frasers Hill, other parts of Malaysia can be very hot at times. Even if you go back to US later, you'll be remembering the nice moments you had in Cameron. Staying three months in a place like that is enough to make a lifetime impact.
I am Malaysian. But I won't make Cameron Highlands as my home (agree with all the points mentioned in the video) Great for holiday though!! Do come again. We have top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world as well as top 10 most beautiful islands in the world. And not to forget - the only country where we get celebrations of Muslims, Chinese, Hindus as well as Christians in the respective big day. And I truly believe the only country where you can find the biggest variety of types of dishes and cuisine in the world since we have so many races living together in harmony. It's like going to China, India, Thailand and Indonesia all at one time. Love!
I love your presenting style, I guess that comes from being a teacher. Curious, do you write a script or just make notes and freestyle your presentation from there? I know my wife will want to tour the tea plantations as she loves tea. We visited one in South Carolina outside of Charleston and had a pretty eye opening education on how the tea is processed.
Hi there, Glad that u guys enjoy your stay so far in the country. I went up to CH twice within the past 6 months, and I sure like the town a whole lot - the spring-like 70°f daytime weather being the most primary reason - i think i had easily walked about 10 km on a few days there. On this particular post, though, i thought any comparison btwn CH vs Charlotte is way too unequal and might just not reflect some of the finer realities; CH being a small outpost town on the hills and Charlotte being a pretty big american city esp within the two carolinas, and it even has an NBA franchise team (big enough tv market) etc.
I won't say the healthcare is better. There is hospital here. But for basic healthcare. For more complex case, local need to go to nearest city. But one thing I like is in the hospital, absolutely no crowd. Only local go there and people knew each other. It is close community. You can call it as village. So the aura is positive and cheerful even for hospital. IThe medicine in hospital ony enough for the local who live there. Once I went there as tourist and we forgot our medicine, they don't have it.
i work in cameron 2 years. as someone who love nature, it is sad to see cameron highland has been battered with illegal farming, trees being cut and develop illegally, the river is poluted with farming chemical. u should check out he river to see the damage. Govermemt not doing enought to protect CH. it used to be very cool in CH and i believe the climate will get hotter very soon. too many greedy people and careless human and corrupt govt.
I born and raised in Cameron Highlands and totally agree with what KMZ said. And, it's a little over crowded during weekends and holidays in Cameron now. I miss my childhood Cameron Highlands. 😍 Actually, I studied and lived in Charlotte for about 12 years. I am so happy to see you introduced my hometown and compared it with Charlotte. Your observation is so true. I love both Charlotte and Cameron Highlands. These two places have a lot of my valuable memories. 😍😍🙏🙏
@@jessietanable Wow, I thought we would probably be the only people in the world who have lived in both Charlotte and Cameron Highlands! How wonderful to be able to grow up in such a beautiful area of Malaysia, and so glad you got to spend time living in Charlotte as well. Thank you for this wonderful comment!
Nice review. Lots of good information. How is the wifi speed there in the highlands? Would appreciate it if you have some numbers from SPEEDTEST. Thanks a bunch.
I went to hospital and only paid for RM1 because I'm Malaysian. We put highly accommodation in health care thats netizen can afford to pay. I even get free medicine or cut off a lot of budgets on medicine as government pays for it ..... I got free COVID19 test as a student. 🤣 YEAY
Wow, that's amazing. We went to a doctor's appointment in Penang and it was a very good experience. We are impressed and happy with Malaysia's health care. Thanks!
I'm malaysian. I've been to Cameron highlands with my parents and my grandparents since 2002 just to visits farm, strawberries, honey and tea. I dont want to go back there anymore because my dad drives very fast. There's no highway in Cameron highland, just a curve road on the mountain and I dont want get dizzy
I think , in general, Malaysia is a very inexpensive place to live. The only downside would be if you lived in a small town, there would be items that you would have to go to the big cities.
But you gotta take into account the purchasing power parity. It may cost a week or 2 weeks of work in the US to pay for the mortgage on average but in Msia it is on average 1 month
Loved your video and info! Was there a swimming pool or ? I do aquaerobics almost daily for my exercise. We spent 6 mos. for our last 2 winters in a beach condo in Ecuador, but want to be in Malaysia from Nov-May this season. Is that possible? We would have to take the bus or fly to an open border after 90 days.Thinking of Penang. Are there seaview condos with a pool & a/c, there? Thank you in advance for any advice for 2 retirees. 🤔😇👣🤗🕇❤
Yes, and as Kimi said, the borders are closed to foreigners and are not expected to open for some time, so you probably won't be able to come to Malaysia anytime soon. But just to let you know, we are in Penang and there are plenty of sea view condos, with swimming pools and a/c, and they are reasonably priced. I will publish a video showing one such condo sometime in the next month or so.
Few decades ago, CH is the best destination for tourism. Less development, refreshing air, wonderful people, british legacies etc Compared to nowadays....
Snail Travelers - yes entirely by Greyhound... went to LA to soak in the 1984 Olympics, but ... my student RM allowances did not stretch me enough to watch the 100 m sprint where Lewis won gold...marvellous experience.
@@ashraff_khan yes..Klang is the lawless city in malaysia with gangsters/triad controlling every aspect of life and administration in the police and city council.
Wow I'm shocked about the USD300 vs USD4. Never have I felt so blessed to be a Malaysian. But still, wish to visit US one day and experience the difference in culture, food, everything :)
Medicines are definitely cheaper in Malaysia, India was the cheapest I ever seen, one third or one fifth of Malaysian price. We use to get medicines from India for special cases as it is very much cheaper and no hassle. Thailand is also another place to get good prescription drugs without any hassle, cost almost same or even cheaper than Malaysia. Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia cost more . The Philippines is cheap but highly controlled but the counter staffs are very professional. I am not sure about Burma and Vietnam.
Yes, we have seen Mr. DIY all over Malaysia and also other countries in Southeast Asia. They are indeed everywhere! We saw a 99 market in Butterworth too.
most of the health care products in US are owned privately I guess. Malaysia government has control over all standard prices of everything. For safety, there are no guns sold in the open market in Malaysia, therefore that part is definitely safer

Thank you!
I won't say the healthcare is better. There is hospital here. But for basic healthcare. For more complex case, local need to go to nearest city. But one thing I like is in the hospital, absolutely no crowd. Only local go there and people knew each other. It is close community. You can call it as village. So the aura is positive and cheerful even for hospital. IThe medicine in hospital ony enough for the local who live there. Once I went there as tourist and we forgot our medicine, they don't have it.
i work in cameron 2 years. as someone who love nature, it is sad to see cameron highland has been battered with illegal farming, trees being cut and develop illegally, the river is poluted with farming chemical. u should check out he river to see the damage. Govermemt not doing enought to protect CH. it used to be very cool in CH and i believe the climate will get hotter very soon. too many greedy people and careless human and corrupt govt.
Thank you for this comment and making us aware of this problem.
I born and raised in Cameron Highlands and totally agree with what KMZ said. And, it's a little over crowded during weekends and holidays in Cameron now. I miss my childhood Cameron Highlands. 😍
Actually, I studied and lived in Charlotte for about 12 years. I am so happy to see you introduced my hometown and compared it with Charlotte. Your observation is so true. I love both Charlotte and Cameron Highlands. These two places have a lot of my valuable memories. 😍😍🙏🙏
@@jessietanable Wow, I thought we would probably be the only people in the world who have lived in both Charlotte and Cameron Highlands! How wonderful to be able to grow up in such a beautiful area of Malaysia, and so glad you got to spend time living in Charlotte as well. Thank you for this wonderful comment!
Thank you from malaysia
I rented the same exact apartment when i went to cameron too! The host were super nice and the place was comfortable too ❤️
Wow! I'm glad we both had great experiences!
Gotta compare both in lockdown mode
Nice review. Lots of good information. How is the wifi speed there in the highlands? Would appreciate it if you have some numbers from SPEEDTEST. Thanks a bunch.
Unfortunately rent prices always seem to ignore airfare and visa fees. Not a huge amount but maybe $100USD/mo.
I went to hospital and only paid for RM1 because I'm Malaysian. We put highly accommodation in health care thats netizen can afford to pay.
I even get free medicine or cut off a lot of budgets on medicine as government pays for it
..... I got free COVID19 test as a student. 🤣 YEAY
Wow, that's amazing. We went to a doctor's appointment in Penang and it was a very good experience. We are impressed and happy with Malaysia's health care. Thanks!
I'm malaysian. I've been to Cameron highlands with my parents and my grandparents since 2002 just to visits farm, strawberries, honey and tea. I dont want to go back there anymore because my dad drives very fast. There's no highway in Cameron highland, just a curve road on the mountain and I dont want get dizzy
Ah, yes, I can understand that.
hope you have a great wonderful time travelling in Malaysia
I'm blessed to be Malaysian 👍😊
Thanks!
I think , in general, Malaysia is a very inexpensive place to live. The only downside would be if you lived in a small town, there would be items that you would have to go to the big cities.
Yes, I think that is true in general, and also true for Cameron Highlands. Thanks Don.
Well.. that makes more interesting, once in a while you out for something different.
But you gotta take into account the purchasing power parity. It may cost a week or 2 weeks of work in the US to pay for the mortgage on average but in Msia it is on average 1 month
By income ratio is about the same. But because us have bigger currency so its cheap for you.
I love Cmeron Highlands.Good for retirement.
Thank you for rated Malaysia for the best living comparing to your hometown. I do hope oneday, I will be able to travel to your beautiful country
Thank you!
@@snailtravelers you're welcome🤝
Thank you sir. Please come again..❤
Thanks!
Lots of love from malaysia sir!
Thank you!
I 've been to Charlotte in Virginia.wesome
Tanah rata is a small and tourism place. There have a limit development to increase a destruction for environment.
I recognize the apartment that ure living, its in Puncak Arabella right? So good seeing u feeling happy living here especially in Cameron Highland
Actually it was in the Royal Lily area of Cameron Highlands. Thanks for the comment and watching the video!
Don't missed to visit the famous place of entertainments in a high land of Genting.
Could you mention cost of eat out meals as you go along please. Have liked your posts, quite informative except for the food cost's? Cheers.
That is a very good suggestion, thank you. I am working on a new Penang food video and based on this comment I will include prices. Thanks.
As a Malaysian I would say Cameron Highlands is too cold at night for me... But maybe compared to some other countries is warmer I guess
We had just come from Cambodia where it was so hot, so it was nice to be in Cameron Highlands. Thank you!
We love Cameron Highland.
I am going to Cameron Highlands next weekend!! It will be my virgin trip riding the motorcycle from KL.. I really wish I could stay a month up there!!
Have a great trip!
Use the bentong-koyan-CH route bro. Jalan baru dn tak merbahaya. Evo club malaysia use this route last time.
@@snailtravelers thanks bro!
@@imranrazak9463 mmg pon hajat I nak use this route bro!!! Hahahaha
@@kienboon hahahaha..selamat bro. Sy duk lipis pn x guna lg route ni
MALAYSIA ❤️💯💯
Loved your video and info! Was there a swimming pool or ? I do aquaerobics almost daily for my exercise. We spent 6 mos. for our last 2 winters in a beach condo in Ecuador, but want to be in Malaysia from Nov-May this season. Is that possible? We would have to take the bus or fly to an open border after 90 days.Thinking of Penang. Are there seaview condos with a pool & a/c, there? Thank you in advance for any advice for 2 retirees. 🤔😇👣🤗🕇❤
Thank you Kimi ☺
Yes, and as Kimi said, the borders are closed to foreigners and are not expected to open for some time, so you probably won't be able to come to Malaysia anytime soon. But just to let you know, we are in Penang and there are plenty of sea view condos, with swimming pools and a/c, and they are reasonably priced. I will publish a video showing one such condo sometime in the next month or so.
Few decades ago, CH is the best destination for tourism. Less development, refreshing air, wonderful people, british legacies etc
Compared to nowadays....
I spent 3 months in the USA travelling to 30 states as a Malaysian student in the summer of 1984 , but i did not get to visit Charlotte.
Honestly, Charlotte is not the most exciting city. But wow, you saw 30 states! That's amazing.
Snail Travelers - yes entirely by Greyhound... went to LA to soak in the 1984 Olympics, but ... my student RM allowances did not stretch me enough to watch the 100 m sprint where Lewis won gold...marvellous experience.
@@Glajdar Amazing! I lived in LA in 1984, but I was just a child and didn't go to the Olympics.
Nice...it would be interesting if you also can do a comparison between Klang and Detroit. People said, Klang is our version of Detroit. LOL.
Comparisons of what? Crime??
More like NOBRAINTALKS
@@ashraff_khan yes..Klang is the lawless city in malaysia with gangsters/triad controlling every aspect of life and administration in the police and city council.
@@DArtagnan853 haha..lol..triggered? im sure you are one the so called 'indian gangsters'? which clan? 06?04 ?
Wow I'm shocked about the USD300 vs USD4. Never have I felt so blessed to be a Malaysian. But still, wish to visit US one day and experience the difference in culture, food, everything :)
Yes, absolutely! Thanks for watching and commenting on our video.
Medicines are definitely cheaper in Malaysia, India was the cheapest I ever seen, one third or one fifth of Malaysian price. We use to get medicines from India for special cases as it is very much cheaper and no hassle. Thailand is also another place to get good prescription drugs without any hassle, cost almost same or even cheaper than Malaysia. Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia cost more . The Philippines is cheap but highly controlled but the counter staffs are very professional. I am not sure about Burma and Vietnam.
@@6047874 Interesting. Thank you for this information.
Secara Jujur! Waktu nak naik bukit tu pening gilee Dohhh Tapi Waktu tidur kt sana mcm Pasang 2 aircond
Saya tidur masa naik tu untuk elak muntah xD

I love visiting Charlotte. Could you guys be my host? I've stayed.in Virginia for 3 years. Love to come back to the States with my kids!
mr DIY already operated in Tanah Rata?... wow.. they are everywhere now..... and 99 supermarket also...
Yes, we have seen Mr. DIY all over Malaysia and also other countries in Southeast Asia. They are indeed everywhere! We saw a 99 market in Butterworth too.
most of the health care products in US are owned privately I guess. Malaysia government has control over all standard prices of everything.
For safety, there are no guns sold in the open market in Malaysia, therefore that part is definitely safer
