really great apartment for the price ben that just over $100 a week really good massive as well .surprized you didnt stay as long in kuala lumpur because its songkram in thailand at momment i never go that time because its madness dont fancy getting soaked everyday for 3 weeks keep up the good work 👍.
Summer Suites is in a good location and convenient with everything in the building. LRT and Monorail in walking distance to get around the city. A good place for first time visitors in KL.
If you don't mind running the aircond 24/7 I sometimes find drying indoor in the aircond to be faster than drying outside if there's no sun. In my house we dry indoor under ceiling fans just because the rain is sometimes unpredictable and we're not always home.
Actually you are not allowed to hang your clothes on the balcony, it makes the view outside look horrible. Most people here dry clothes indoors or we have a laundry room to hang clothes under the fan, it will dry quickly
And youtubers (some) say bangkok is cheaper than kl? People look for value for money nowadays. Some is 50 usd per night but those are super condos. Kl is also called the mini dubai (affordable luxury). For high end tourists. They can try merdeka 118's park hyatt end of 2024. I am happy you found good shelter and not cheap hostels.
Very nice apt and amenities downstairs. I still personally like the quaint villages you were. This is too city like for my taste. The exercise room was facing highrise bldgs. Main thing is YOU were happy. Im glad. ~ Tazzz ~
I agree I prefer an old school style apartment/home to a modern style condo building like this any day. I’m a sucker for a sauna and gym but if I can get those nearby somewhere that works just as well. Ideally I want a stand alone home with a bit of yard / private space
Hi Ben not spoke for a while hope your ok great clog as always ?what was the best condo you stayed in Jomtien or Pattaya for price and overall satisfaction please
@@benfishermin happy Tuesday Ben thanks sir as always very much appreciated have a mint day going to look now would you goto the condos directly or book online please
Good thing there's no wind or the clothes will fly all over the neighborhood 😂😂 Usually I find it easy to dry clothes because of the hot and humid weather, not sure why your clothes is not drying fast enough 😅
Hi! I like the phrase, 'affordable luxury' rather than use cheap...cheap...everytime. Cause Malaysian not everyone can afford it. With an average of RM1500/month salary who could ever afford it. Perhaps husband and wife or young couple with sharing incomes. Not include their monthly cost such as electricity, water, internet, sanitation(indah water), gas(cooking), petrol, parking, car/motorcycle loan, or monthly transportation card, food, perhaps if there are balance for insurance, saving, shopping and entertainment. Well to live comfortably at least a person need to earn RM4k or USD1k, in big town like KL. Not everyone can earn that amount if they work in the company. It just like you need to work more hours if you are a GRAB driver. Coz that amount of salary is a manager income. Not everyone can be a manager and not everyone can work as blue colar worker or rough neck. US will have Hispanics and others, just like Dubai with Indians/Pakistanis and same goes to UK. While Malaysia with Indonesians and Bangladeshies. While others are welcome in different workforce or expertise. Just some sharing.
Yea true, this is definitely not so affordable for the average person. For myself signing a contract I’d look for something half of this price if I could, and do away with the building amenities. I live on around 1k-1.2k usd /mo and it doesn’t feel like a lot of money 😵
@@benfishermin Ok, I don't think I could ever stay somewhere for a whole year. I'd go nuts! 1 month is more than long enough for me before I feel like moving on.
Don't dry your clothes outside in Malaysia!! lol The humidity is so high they'll never dry. Even if they do, your clothes will have a lingering wet/damp smell! Next time you go outside, turn off your AC and just keep your clothes on a rack INSIDE. They will dry in no time!
ur place looks neat bro… u’re a neat person.. shoes properly placed… 👍.. is this after u shared room with 6 bangladeshis..? i hope it is… ants.. cockroaches.. gecko.. are common here.. use aerosols like ridsect or bygone.. once u notice where the ants are.. spray thoroughly.. follow where it starts.. then wipe clean the area.. n hope the ants won’t reinforce for second wave attack.. i usually make sure no food left unattended.. better keep inside the fridge… wipe ur table n floors after cooking or eating… talking about length of bed.. once former singapore prime minister.. goh chok tong came for a visit to malaysia… the place that hosted him had to get a customise bed for him… as the former pm was a very tall guy…
I must say I cleaned up a bit for the video 😂 but I’m pretty neat in general too. Yea this was immediately after I got some donations and left the Bangladeshi hostel spot. Yea seems so important to make sure no food out and taking out garbage daily. Good idea to wipe down the surfaces and floor too. That’s hilarious about the prime minister, good to know it’s not just me. I’m only about 180cm but here that is somewhat tall
@@benfishermin oh yeah.. i forgot one of the rule of shooting a video… making sure ur set look presentable…. 😅😅… malaysian men average height maybe arnd 5’4”… that’s less than 160cm .. 🤔… yeah 180cm is 5’10” or is it a 6 footer..? not many of us hv that height.. maybe new generation… it’s our diet maybe… or maybe genetically we are short people… 🤣🤣
Yes, it’s currently still $14 a night with the Agoda link, and they are also $360/month if rented long term with a contract. I changed the title to try for better performance on the video, since I assume the Malaysian audience is more interested in longterm rentals and not vacation style rentals
Malaysian here, flushing toilet paper in the toilet is very normal over here. Personally never been to a toilet that couldn't flush toilet paper and find the idea of it strange.
@AngelLee162540 angel, in Taiwan there is a culture to throw toilet paper at a bin. Their hole is too small to flush toilet papers. I am not joking. I know it is damn dirty to throw dirty toilet paper in a bin next to your toilet bowl. Malaysian toilet bowls are very big. Our sewerage system can also take sanitary pads lol. Sometimes get stuck. Even pythons crawl up using the hole. Amazing malaysia.
Hm for my dates a little over a week ago was 15 + taxes and fees. I’m seeing nights now for $22 plus taxes and fees if booked ahead. Still higher than when I posted this even so I suppose people are booking it. It could be worth checking around online for other rooms in this building too, maybe cheaper
@benfishermin I saw there are different names Bernice, studio, apartment.... which one is the one? Even it's 30 usd a night, it's still reasonably priced. I stayed in a casino hotel in Macau, 200 usd a night...
@@littletravelmonkey6727make sure you’re on mobile and also logged in on agoda. Here’s a screenshot of the price still this week when I just checked - postimg.cc/bdpTZdXG

only $360 thats nuts lmao.....why am i still living in singapore? something like this would cost at least $2.5 to $3k.....just move to malaysia and ur a free man.
This was $15 per night when I stayed there over a week ago, and I checked again before posting and there’s nights for $17/night, it depends on the dates I suppose, or many people booked since I posted.
@jamesfreeman180 why would I care if people use the link? It’s not an affiliate link and I’m not at all affiliated with the host of this room. There’s also $360/mo rooms here with contract.
I would not call it luxury at all, the interior looks cheap and the location and views are not very pleasant. For the same money you can find better options, both short stay and long stay.

I agree such a nice price. I did want to experience my first Songkran, it was awesome for a day but that’s it, now I’m over it 😁😁

Agree, super convenient location, very easy stay for first timers
Yes, n it is much bigger 1BR unit around 800sft, probably double the size of this unit. Rental can be as low as RM 2200
If you don't mind running the aircond 24/7 I sometimes find drying indoor in the aircond to be faster than drying outside if there's no sun. In my house we dry indoor under ceiling fans just because the rain is sometimes unpredictable and we're not always home.
That’s a good call, I’m gonna try this thanks
We dry our clothes outside. No issue.
Actually you are not allowed to hang your clothes on the balcony, it makes the view outside look horrible. Most people here dry clothes indoors or we have a laundry room to hang clothes under the fan, it will dry quickly
Things take forever to dry outside anyway due to the high humidity

Hi!,Ben...can see you are surely a tidy fellow. Keep it up 😅
Yes mostly, I did clean for the video 😁 thanks
For 550, u can get a 1BR condo at the heart of mont kiara in KL where most expat live.
hi ben, what do you like to cook when your home? is it simple dishes,,, is it easy when traveling. regards
Hi Ben not spoke for a while hope your ok great clog as always ?what was the best condo you stayed in Jomtien or Pattaya for price and overall satisfaction please

RM4k is b40 salary, bottom 40% of income earners in Malaysia. 😅
That's a spacious place for that price, a good bargain indeed 👍
Agreed well worth it!
15Dollar change in ringgit you can get over RM70.00 and that good price for you.
For a daily price as a tourist, that’s a good price yea for a place like this
When you say it's $360/month long term, how long are we talking, like a 1 year lease?
Yup, one year with option to extend another year
@@daryllim4826 How much does it cost if you only want to stay for 1 month?
Yea with a 1 year lease, or you can rent by the day on Agoda for around $13-$24 per night depending on the current rate, time of week/year etc
@@benfishermin Ok, I don't think I could ever stay somewhere for a whole year. I'd go nuts! 1 month is more than long enough for me before I feel like moving on.

Where did you get that laptop stand?!
Lmao it’s a big pot from the kitchen turned upside down 😁😂
you might be able to work something out with that ceiling fan to try your clothes 🙂
Bring your clothes inside and run the AC, they’ll dry quickly

Hello sir, welcome to MALAYSIAN ' recommended to come to MALAYSIAN (borneo island) state of sarawak ok
You changed the title from 15 dollars a night to 360 dollars a month.?
Yes, it’s currently still $14 a night with the Agoda link, and they are also $360/month if rented long term with a contract. I changed the title to try for better performance on the video, since I assume the Malaysian audience is more interested in longterm rentals and not vacation style rentals
The facilities are not bad for the price, if you stay at an Airbnb 50 dollars a day is great than this
It’s true, I was mostly looking for something with a gym. The shop is nice to have also and yea the airbnbs were more!
No gas sewage smell? Can I flush toilet paper?
Thankfully no foul smell and strong toilet flushing for toilet paper
@@benfishermin Better than in Thailand then. I don't think flushing toilet paper is possible in Thailand.
@@louis20122so you keep the toilet paper like taiwan?
Malaysian here, flushing toilet paper in the toilet is very normal over here. Personally never been to a toilet that couldn't flush toilet paper and find the idea of it strange.

Dry clothes in air-conditioning. Outside is too humid.
Yea true outside is not possible here

The condo you are staying isn't exactly luxury by KL standard.
TBH the furniture in the room are all cheap stuff
Nope...once you said ants and bugs, that would be a no for me.
That’s fair, it wasn’t bad I’ll say and probably just needed a good wipe down on the counters with some cleaner
I would not call it luxury at all, the interior looks cheap and the location and views are not very pleasant. For the same money you can find better options, both short stay and long stay.
Mostly the building is just modern with shops / cafe inside, there are definitely more luxury condos out there though, I thought this was a good value
Great place 4 for the bucks! Thanks.
Ya great value, thanks!
Hang your clothes under the fan. It'll dry.
Hi ben,
I couldn't able to book that one it always shows me price avobe 29$ 😢🥲
