Ok, I admit I cannot decide between Thailand and Malaysia for our next two month excursion. Another thread we are running the Thailand angle down, but here are my questions for anyone here who has spent serious time in Malaysia:
- If my requirements are a nice beach town with decent rental houses, clean, not hordes of tourists looking (maybe a little hard to get to?), with restaurants and walkable...suggestions?
- Since English is much more common than Thailand, we would like to somewhat integrate with the locals during our stay and if we like the place we may later decide to buy property. But for now a rental house.
- No need for large expat community, but not adverse to it either. We are adverse to large party groups and large hi rise hotels/condos.
- Any visa issues that favor Malaysia over Thailand or the reverse?
Thanks for any thoughts.
