I’m Singaporean, the plan is to retire in Malaysia, in either KL or Penang. Malaysia has good medical services with an overall cost effective and great quality of life.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts - Malaysia is a great choice for retirement and wishing you all the best! 😊 We loved KL but also really enjoyed the slower pace of Penang. 👍
@@wht8349 I agree, not to mention scammers! Malaysian big cities are more organized and quiet. I do like Chiang Mai though for Thailand, do not like Bangkok.
Do you know why Malaysia tourism slogan is Malaysia Truly Asia? Because like u said, we are the melting pot of multidiverse cultural country. Take food for example. We have malay, borneo, indian and chinese cuisine because these 4 are the major races in malaysia. Other than that, we have western food, arabic and turkish food. And some of thai & indonesian food also very common in malaysia. Tomyam (thai dishes) & ayam penyet or bakso (indo dishes) are very very common throughout the country from north to south, from sarawak to sabah, this thai & indo food is easily available for you. Malay, borneo, indian, chinese, western, arab, turkish, thai, indonesian food, we had it all.
Wonderful. All countries have their own unique attractions, vibes, charm and beauty from their people, food, art, culture, religion, tradition, history, festivity, events etc.
Living on under CAD$2,000 monthly in the province, 3 hours north of Manila near Lingayen Gulf. Family of 4, vehicle, food, utilities all for under $2,000 monthly. Moved from Canada 3 years ago, where our monthly expenses were about CAD$8,000 monthly.
We live in Thailand very comfortable with budget 3.5k $ USD / month including rent and everything else while in the US we have to pay 6-7k and no lifestyle we just stuck at home and very stressed about our spending. Moving to Thailand is the right decision and we are very happy here.
Malaysian here and i have the same opinion. We want you to visit, receive positive vibes in SEA, and enjoy our multicultural and diverse cultures. And then go back to your home country and reminisce about what you experienced in this region. Maybe come back in a few years..
$1,500 is ₱87,000. This is extravagant spending of money per month brother. There are a lot of ways to cut this into half and still live life of comfort here in the Philippines.
He's a RUclipsr so hasn't lived in these countries as a local. It is different living in a country as a local and living in a country as a tourist. Just say.
For me Philippines, because where on earth you can see 3 incredible wonder of Nature which are not man-made ( Mt Mayon, Chocolate Hills and Subterranean underground River) that you can cherish in your lifetime? Only in the Philippines! Amazing Philippines!
Yes, you can go there see those things and leave. We are talking about expats. Unless you have a high tolerance for pollution and general annoyance, then the other 2 countries much better for living long term.
@@touredjacked4167 in your dreams, FYI, The Philippines is the Best for expats in fact Philippines has the highest number of American expats in All South East Asian Countries because in Phillippines they can buy all they want in one of the Biggest Mall on Earth ( Mall of Asia, SM North Edsa, Mega mall etcm.) and see the wonder creatures of wonder of nature which are not man made .. Philippines is HOME..
Many Filipinas win by taking control of real estate the foreigner had purchase. Make sure the certificate of title specifies she is married to a foreigner so it is conjugal property. Also set a Philippine Corporation and see if it can be a subsidiary of a U.S. Corporation. Than annotate a lease from the corporation to the foreigner. Annotate with Register of Deeds.
Malaysia’s expat community is at least 2-3 million if you consider workers from Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, the Philippines, Nepal, Vietnam and Thailand.
Generally you're an expat if you live in a country other than the one in which you were born and raised. That makes all those nationalities you mentioned here are expats. However, the unspoken understanding is that those who work in the 'white collar' sectors are expats while those who work hard labour jobs are migrant labourers. Simply put, expats have $$$. That's why they can afford to live in places such as Mont Kiara while migrant labourers packed together in the "kongsi". Well... that's imho.
If you are single and you want to have fun, go to Thailand. If you are into nature and into people, go to the Philippines. Malaysia is in the middle though.
As a Filipino, I prefer to live in Thailand. The quality of life is much better. ❤ The Philippines is great for vacation destination only. Just spitting facts. .
I have no idea where to go to spend $1500 - 2000 per month in any of those 3 countries. I have lived in them all and my monthly costs were nowhere near you prices. I can't live in my home in UK for $700 /month - food and utilities.
$1500 - 2000 is if you rent a fully furnished 3 bedroom apartment with complete facilities & good security, for entertainment, transportation, frequent dining out etc etc. but if you're a homebody & don't like to spend much, anywhere between $500 - 1000 should be fine and in fact, $1000 is a luxury.
I missed the Philippines-pristine beaches crystal clear water, the beautiful islands the organic fruits, veggies, meats no GMOS etc… the health care thingy you can do that and go back to the first world for your really check up
I really prefer the retirement visa in Cambodia - if your over 55 - it can't be beat ! Very good food variety and cheap cost of living in Siem Reap & only a 1 hour flight to Bangkok for great medical care and fun - w/o their ridiculous visa qualifications !!! Many are doing quite well on $800 USD / mo. expenses and are content.
A lot of information in a relatively short video. But from experience, statistics can say anything. And at the end it all boils down to where one feels at home. Btw, private healthcare is way more costly than 1500 US$ per year, when being an expat, and certainly at retirement age.
False information : Thailand has a healthcare system which is not just available to Thai. I am not Thai and I use the Thai public health system and it is very good and also very cheap.
I have been to Thailand many times, I have to disagree, Malaysia's infrastructure is better than Thailand, Bangkok is a chaotic city, and easily get scammed there.

As a Malaysian myself, I believe the country like Thailand, Philippine and Indonesia are the better choice for the others to migrate. Together with Australia and Singapore. Singapore transportation is the best in ASEAN. Much better these for 5 countries. We got so many problems over here. You guys totally don't want to stuck in between with our problems. Its not worth it. Even some of Malaysian themselves leave our beloved country to get a better life. Only the keras hati Malaysian could stay in Malaysia and enjoy our not perfect country as best we could. After all, Its we called it our tanah air.
Tbh Malaysia welcoming white and rich westerners, Japanese and Koreans only and no-no to others like South Asians and South East Asians to settle down in Malaysia..😅
You need to return to your country and go back to work. You are prime working age. Save for retirement. Otherwise your next destination will be an expat living in poverty.
