    Kuala lumpur has everything for me. Great shopping malls, kind people, english speaking, fresh food, warm climate all year around, affordable prices. I’m actualy planing to buy an apartment at KLCC area. I’m a European based in Dubai. All the best in 2024 🎉

      Buy in KLCC, In your DREAMS fella. Check with a local realtor to guide you, the capital gains tax when you sell. Not forgetting you will pay Income Tax as you abode is classed a residence for tax purposes. Try MM2H route. Remember Condos deplete your income with high service charges. Selling can be a loss as numerous Condos everywhere in KL/MY.

      Service charges for condos are way less in KL than in London or Dubai….
      Yes I agree returns are not so good (2.5% NET to 3% at KLCC) but there might be a capital appreciaton on the long run as KL is still relatively cheap compare to other major global cities…

In Bangkok its not so convenient to rent apartments for short time, as short term apartments are more expensive.
