  • Months 30-31! We weren't planning to stay in Ipoh this long, but this is where we found ourselves when interstate travel in Malaysia was banned due to Covid. And what a great city to spend two months! We'll show you our activities, food adventures, housing, and cost of living in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia!

    1. Ipoh should be considered for anybody thinking of retiring in Malaysia. Prices are lower than KL. It's not busy. But it has nearly all the services and facilities of a major city.
    2. To the west lies Pangkor Island. To the east, Cameron Highlands. And there are frequent rail services to Penang and KL. You're not isolated.
    3. I would recommend the retiree settle into a gated community. Get a small car. And join some club.

    If Dim Sums are popular among all Chinese People, they might be even more among Cantonese people, who happen to form the biggest Chinese Community in Ipoh.

    Damn. Ipoh used to be a very2 cheap place to live and popular for retirement. But $600 dollars for an apartment that is like 2500 in ringgit. No longer cheap I guess.
