Would like to hear why long term expats or remote workers did or didn’t choose Malaysia over Thailand…and for those who did, do you regret it and why?
Also curious if the lack of language barrier was a big decider? and if anyone who chose Malaysia learnt Malay or Mandarin and if it has proven to be valuable in anyway.
*I like both countries for different reasons, just like hearing about peoples experiences.
I have worked on a fly-in fly-out basis in both countries. I felt expats were not particularly respected or welcomed in Thailand, in general or in the workplace, so if I had to choose I would choose Malaysia.
