11 years across Southeast Asia. 5 years in Bangkok. And he still chose Kuala Lumpur.
Meet Henry — a UK expat who has spent over a decade living and traveling across almost every country in Southeast Asia. He learned to speak Thai, experienced the region from the inside out, and after 5 years in Bangkok made the deliberate decision to move to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Today he pays just $680 a month for his two bedroom corner unit in Mon Kiara and says Malaysia is his long term home.
In this video we tour his apartment, hear his honest comparison between Bangkok and KL, and find out why after 11 years of testing every country in the region he chose Malaysia above everywhere else.
If you are trying to decide which Southeast Asian country is right for you, Henry is the most qualified person on this channel to answer that question.

I also enjoyed showing a bit more of what everyday life here actually looks like through the condo tour and what you can get for your money in KL.
Thanks again for having me on the channel!🙂
But a fully furnished, designer ID, 2 bedrooms, 2 bath, ample kitchen space at RM2700 in Mont Kiara is still a steal.. 🤭👍
Public Payment for healthcare: As a foreigner, you pay $9 to see GP inclusive of treatment and 3 months prescriptions medicine. To see a specialist you pay $22. If you get hospitalised you pay between $36 to 72 per day
