Alcohol are expensive in our country because our country does not encourage our society to spend on unnecessary things because many cases of accidents on the road are caused by drunkenness and we hate this very much
It's expensive because some of the raw materials are imported, since they are not grown locally. Higher price also equal higher sin tax, which helps our government fund better community projects.
Black skin racism is not a thing in Malaysia. We even have dark skin tone people here in Malaysia. The stare is usually because certain African people tend to mingle and socialise among themselves, when they do they usually talk with loud voice. Malaysian do not hate skin colour, they hate crime and rude behaviour. I used to live in apartment area in Puchong.This area are area where many African people get together for drinking. They always arrived in group to drink at small pub there which opened from dusk past midnight up till wee hour in the morning. There always a fight broke out when they get drunk. Men and women, with loud voice. You will see bloody scene and police will come. Everyday. Not an exaggeration. As resident there, I move out after 3 month. No more sleepless night. Thats only small cases of what actually caused them viewed negatively by locals.
Thats right! Malaysians has no issues on skin color but rudeness when they are drunk is a big no-no!. Recently there was an african-american man who got drunk and hit an old chinese man just because the african man doesnt want to pay for the food he ate at the old mans restaurant. So foreigners who comes to Malaysia I advise you if you want to drink, make sure you dont get drunk and do any crime here. In the case mentioned here, I am guessing the grab driver had experienced taking african customers who ended up running away and not paying when they reach their destination or worse yet, he got robbed by his african customers.
Stop justifying it. Malaysians are rude people and racist even to your fellow Malaysians. Stop being a liar Malaysian that's why the world regarded you as a liar
Regarding the racism that the black girl receiving, there are back story about African (Not that I know if she is from Africa or not but the back story is regarding Black African). This is actually not about skin colour at all. So this is something that started around 20 years ago and it continues for years. Back in the day, Malaysia had just started to actively sought international students intake especially in private colleges. At the time, a lot of new private universities being opened and they need student to survive. So they just accepted anyone. Long story short, during those times and continue for decades, African students are mostly known (Not all) for abusing their student visa. They rented apartments and condos. But instead of actually studying, they do some shady business. And crime rates in the area involving African increased and this create tension with the local. Im just assuming here but when she said she never tried nasi lemak and she and her friends got stare from people, I think she doesn't really mingle with the local. I have a lot of African friends during my uni time (10 years ago) and at works. I can definitely say nobody is actually stare at them. Probably because they mingle with the local and adapt to the local culture.
Yeah... this is somewhat true IMHO. You can't find that many people of African origin in Malaysia. Just like there are not many Mat Salleh many decades ago, they are treated like aliens. It's not about the skin color, no, not at all. Furthermore, many Africans when they were here, many of them do not respect the local culture. They are more famous for scammers and black money. Anyhow, racist people do exist anywhere in the world. I've experienced it myself when traveling overseas, even traveling locally.
Kalau setakat kena stare tu tk pelik lah, kita masuk restaurant pun orang ramai2 pakat duk pandang .buat tk tahu je dh ler. Maybe dia tk biasa. Tmbh lak dia rsa diri dia lain dari org lain. Kita ni tkde pikir papepun kan. Tkpun yg ambik video tu dak tik tok sape tau. Zaman org duk pakat ambik video semua ni. Termasuk lar yg tgh wat content ni🤭🤭
Saya ada layan beberapa video lain nya dpd chai ini.. Satu benda yg aku suka.. Dia betul2 buat content yg jujur.. Bila dia puji, tak da lah nampak puji sampai tahap dewa.. Then ada beberapa point yg dia rasa kurang baik tu pun tak da lah dia kecam sampai menghina or nampak melebih lebihkan sesuatu isu.. Sebagai rakyat malaysia saya suka pandangan yg membina bergini.. Kita berlajar lah terima hakikat, terima pandangan org.. Mana yg baik kita kekalkan, mana yg kurang kita perbaiki lah.. Jgn lah menjadi spt org di suatu negara dlm cerita dongeng zaman dahulu tu yg sentiasa nak mendonia jer fikiran mereka hingga kaki pun tak berpijak di bumi yang nyata..😁
Willy 🙏 that’s so nice of you to say 😃 thanks a lot and I’m glad you’re enjoying what I make ❤️🏆 have a beautiful day and night. Hopefully we’ll be able to travel more of Malaysia this year 🏆 cheers
well, as a Malaysian, from our perspectives it's not all about the skin colour, I think maybe it's more about a stigma and generalization, not too long ago we have many Africans causing some problems within this country, and as an effect we did what humans do, we generalize and we try to avoid them even though we realized that's cannot be the same for all of them, I've alot of black friends but still I'll avoid any Africans that I don't personally know.
@@mdovi1111 please don't oversimplify and over generalize things, we Malay have our own generalization about Chinese and vice versa, but it's not all black and white and we all have our share of negativity but we try not to focus on that and try to focus on collective positivity and our shared experience as community and try to improve that, are you local?
@@mdovi1111just jangan ganggu orang lain and create public disturbance seperti mabuk dan berkumpul beramai ramai. What crime you do away from public is between you and the Law.
@@mdovi1111nah, not all of us think about them “certain way” dont care who you are and where youre from, if you cause trouble, youll definitely be on the spotlight. Us Malaysians are very much mind your own business type of ppl, unless something huge pops up, or ppl disrespecting our country and people.
LIES!!!! It is ALLLLLL about skin color. What color are most Africans, Black? People do not see your passport when they see you, they see skin color. I lived in Malaysia for 3 years and found people that would not rent to me and they said because I am black, I saw signs posted on apartments saying no Africans. I am not African, but as a black woman, that hurt my soul. I had Chinese people point, laugh, and take photos of me; people got up from their seats on the bus because I sat next to them. The Malay Malaysians treated me better. But racist are there
Its not about the skin, its deeper...attitude, good behaviour, ability to understand and assimilate to local cultures etc...etc..otherwise we are all human with all the flaws...
Talking about the Danish couple, you're right, Chai. Uniqueness in a country doesn't mean you should expect the same type of uniqueness in another country. Just because Thailand and Malaysia are literal neighbours doesn't mean both countries must have the same thing.
Some tourists not prefer a place overload with foreign tourists. They want to see/feel differences & balance. They want to learn new things. Not just drink beer, dance girls, enjoy partying all time. Every countries have their own income to focus. Not only for tourism. Everything must be balance.
Could not agree more! Just like siblings, they are from the same parents - yet siblings have different characteristics charms, wits and personality, likes and dislikes, etc. Every country is UNIQUE and has its own personalised CHARMS, just enjoy lah, dont stress stress... talk to locals, they will make your day!!!! Either they understand you or your dont understand them , surprisingly things will work our for you! 😉
Yes, thats the uniqueness of south east asia..if all country in south east asia were the same as Thailand, it will be boring..such as Malaysia, has lots of different people. If all were Malay people in Malaysia, then you would not find mixed variety of culture, food, art, architecture etc in Malaysia.
We Malaysians have been through pretty bad experiences with Nigerians. They came to our country and sold drugs, scammers and were sexually abusive. A lot of them are already being caught by police and immigration. We Malaysians would like to live peacefully without trouble.
Indeed.. We are not racist towards black people. But black people in Malaysia tend to always involve in criminal mostly drug trafficking by using their 'student' title. Come to Malaysia for study but who know they are drug smugglers. Always drunk and make loud noise even in the middle of the night. That is why we Malaysians are not so friendly with black people.
@@rynahazreena88 Some Chinese are rich, therefore all Chinese are rich. Some Malays like to unsheath their kris and yell Ketuanan Mawayu, therefore all Malays are sama-sama. I'll let you decide the logic of that.
Have been to Malaysia three times and once to Thailand. I hope to be able to come back to both! They both have their similarities as well as their differences, but they are both incredibly beautiful and pleasant countries to visit
After I work and travel many countries. I realise my country Malaysia Kuala Lumpur always is the best place for retire or calm down ourselves and restart our amazing life . We are not happening like Thailand everywhere or everytime, but we really enjoy our life and work here. We enjoy with our love 💕( parents, couples, children and friends) especially the food. Is amazing
Poor to that girl.. she was so kind . But some black people before make trouble to this society.. make malaysian avoid them.. not about their skin.. we also have black skin, but less racism..
true... i remembered some times ago, african students almost flooded subang / cyberjaya, mostly from few named private colleges, and their actions actually made me speechless haha
Lot of crime did by Nigerian n few African nations before... It's tainted a bad perception to the rest surely... But all of the bad looks can be wiped off if you make a lot of local friends...
From what I observed of African women staying in Malaysia( from their youtube channel) , They seems to have higher expection . For example an African was pissed off and calling the Malaysian Police, Immigration and airline staff as RACIST just because she could not fly to Indonesia ( Indonesian immigration require her to have visa ) . The way they talk , demanding things and in very loud voice are offensive to Malaysians. Most Malaysians are soft spoken and do not demand .( cultural difference issue. ) The lady in the video has wrong perception about Malaysians. There is no skin colour discrimination in Malaysia .There are a lot of Malaysians( especially the Orang Asli) having darker skin and curlier hair than her.
If you want to just party and have fun all the time, Malaysia is not suitable for you. Thailand is your best choice. But for me, I love Malaysia because the balance of life is really great. A lot of things to do. Affordable living. Super delicious food. Friendly people. Beautiful scenery wherever you go. Calm. Complete infrastructure.
Affordable living if you’re either upper class or earning/working for an international company being paid in a different currency. Im great full enough that im middle upper. But the pinch is still present.
@@GoatofGods I am from the lower class rock bottom. You can consider me as broke. But I can still survive living in this country. Whenever I need money to eat & do important spending for my family, as long as we are healthy, there are various ways to make some money to make ends meet as long as we are creative.
@@marfauzamatjusoh8198 the same can be said for a lot of countries. I’m sorry for your situation. The government should really solve this issue by deflating the currency ever so slightly and maximising exports, creating new job opportunities, and increasing minimum wages slightly and making it stricter towards employers to pay employees accordingly. Amongst a lot of other things that could be done to improve the economy these few step would barely scratch the surface. Your ability to cope in this country all while appreciating it is admirable.
@@GoatofGods Yes. Prices for goods and services has gone up drastically especially food products. It is something out of ordinary people control. However, we can control our daily spending by substituting expensive stuff with cheaper ones & having fun through cheaper alternatives and dping occasionally instead of all the time to reduce the cost. Living a basic life is actually not very expensive compared to always having luxury goods & services (having all kinds of monthly subsciption payment for entertainment or possessing luxury expensive goods in order to look cool in front of others). This is the problem with majority of people in this age. Worry too much of looking uncool and too much partying.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how innocent,honest and polite the black lady was with her answers.🙌🏾All the best wishes and have safe journey back home.
1. As much as I feel sympathy for the young girl, but the stereotype look she had during her stay is nothing to do with her skin colour. Malaysians have had bad experiences with African communities in KL. They were known to show bad attitude such as being disrespectful to the locals, getting drunk and loud in open areas at night, rudeness, money scamming etc. This is a fact as it was covered in social media and mainstream news in Malaysia. 2. As for Denmark couple, do your homework before travelling!
Yes, that's the reality with African migrants in malaysia. My friend has a restaurant and next to his restaurant is an African restaurant. My friend told me that most nights Africans who came to the restaurant next to his would get drunk and fight amongst each other, create havoc, vandalism in the area, throwing things randomly.
That Denmark couple who found Petaling Street as the most interesting part Malaysia is the most telling part of their expectations. They wanted hustle, bustle and chaos of a sterotypical Asian city. You won't find that here.
haha, I would say they are not the real traveler type, dont compared us to thailand which designed specially for tourists! malaysia is in its own nature stage, u must find and appreciate the gem, the gem wont come to u on ur arrival. and we can have beer anytime too, I dont know why they cant find it.
Why don't they stay in a tent in the middle of Jakarta or bangkok better for their lung. Yep I sensed they like crowded street, forest, parks and beaches.
Another self entitled Malaysian 🙄 lol the UN even busted Malaysia for pretending as a rich country when it is not. I've never seen so much homelessness in India but surprisingly in KL Malaysia 🙄
@@richardnuevo i guess you have not : 1. Interviewed the homeless to determine their nationality. 2. Visit california and philadelphia streets. 3. We never claimed we are a rich country.
I have been to Malaysia many times and yes, litter is a problem, yes the traffic and the way people drive is chaotic but looking beyond that, it is an amazing country with an immense amount of beauty in the landscape and the people. This is by far, my favourite destination.
compare to other asian cities (e.g. hanoi/ Phnom Penh) kl is already one of the best cities in Asia in term of driver's attitude,cleannes, security and more. been to Malaysia couple of time and I love this country very much
Whaaaaaaaaat? I always thought Malaysia's quite clean. My country Thailand's worse by comparison. Especially Bangkok, with the new Governor at the helm it would seem that the litter problem has gotten worse. Garbage are floating into the main river from the small khlongs.
Yes, Malaysia has been very kind and I am sure, in time, you will revisit and further promote wonderful places like Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Malacca, George Town and Langkawi and many other places yet to be visited It has been a wonderful experience seeing what Malaysia has to offer through the lens of your camera and some very positive and informative interviews. You have showcased Malaysia very well and hopefully encouraged more tourists to make Malaysia a future destination. Great work Chai. Enjoy your trip home to visit family and friends. You deserve the break 🤩
Thanks Steven! Man it was a great time in Malaysia 🤩 thanks for being part of this journey 😁 soon we will be in Thailand with this channel and I’m sure we will be back in Malaysia 🏆 cheers
You should visit Sabah. It is very different to West Malaysia. Over a quarter of a million foreigners and more than double that of Malaysians have visited in the first five months of 2023.
Please come back Chai, and do more of your street interviews! Love to see what people think of us in general, and how best we can further improve. Your angle is different and I personally like to watch honest reviews randomly. You take care, and do come back, we did not get enough of "Chai Travel" - the next round, must stay here for 3 months! Selamat Jalan (Safe Travels, in English). 🥰
Aw that’s so lovely! Thank you so much for this! You made me smile there 😁 it felt so good to be in Malaysia and experiencing different things, meeting amazing people ❤️ and eating of course 😂 hopefully we stay in touch and we’ll me able to go back sometime later this year 😁
@@Chai_Travel You can't get a better rap than that comment. Awesome and exactly what I could sense watching these interviews and reading the many positive comments!! 🤩
When tourists visit any country, they'll come n they'll go, it would never end. Every country has its charm n beauty. Every country has something to offer. Thanks for this wonderful video. Thanks for visiting Malaysia n do come back again in d future.
One thing I really don't understand about tourists, not so much from travellers, is to compare one place with another, one country, one city, one town, one village with another. Every place has its own vibe, charm n beauty. Every place has something to offer. Some people like touristy things, some people like less touristy things. I've read lots of positive n good comments about Malaysia from people around d world. But I also come across few hatred comments, namely from Indonesia n d Philippines, I'm not sure what r their concerns n problems. D southeast asian region is one of d most popular region for tourists, travellers, expat, digital nomad n students. There r plenty to choose, that's d beauty. Everyone has their own experience from their explorations n adventures. D tourism industry is now back to life after d long pandemic n lockdown. C'est la vie.
Thanks again Yasin :) I think it’s normal to compare (not to say it’s better or worse) to see what is different and how people and cultures are different. It’s so nice to compare The Netherlands with Malaysia as they are so different and they both have so many good aspects 😁 cheers Yasin 🏆
@@Chai_Travel Thank u too. Hope to see u again in Malaysia in d future. There's a channel, global gibbon owns by a Dutch guy who is married to a Malaysian Sarawakian lady. He made lots of videos about Sarawak n few videos, comparison between d Netherlands n Malaysia. It's all quite different between one country n another, be it in Asia, Europe or another continent. So, where's your next destination? Cheers. 😀
Some of them did on purpose. Some of them have interest in that country's tourism industries. Usually they will put in the comment 'I went to country A, nothing to see,so bad, worst, etc. Now I'm heading/in country B, everything so nice'.
@@imjuzsayin..5017 I supposed so u r right. Well, people have their own preferences when it comes to holidays, vacations n travelling. One tourists experience with d adventure n exploration in a country differs from one to another. It could be d same experience, should d tourists engaged with a tourists agency organized tour. 😀
Its my second time I Am in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. I have also been to Bangkok for one month. The two Citys are oppositie of each other ,. Bangkok is like the sister that is adventures naughty outgoing in your face ,hectic . Kuala Lumpur is the quit reserved ,well behaved ,following the rules sister. For me although i like Bangkok i prefer Kuala Lumpur because it is cleaner,Lush,better air quality ,more variation of Food different cultures living together,less hectic.
Chai ,Always welcome back. We never racist to any black peoples, we hv lot of indian , pakistan and Bangladesh friends too. My best neighbor is indian. But as our experience some of black African they really damage the whole house or never pay rental and runaway. And when local girl go nearby, they sometimes shouted the girl, we experienced at Kepong area. Sometimes we feel scare of their attitude. But some black African is really kind too. Be kind to Malaysian, we will respect all foreign friends ( just like our close friends or relatives) Local people always just want to protect themselves and their families.
I have only a few words to say to those adventurous Danish couple, PLEASE PLEASE DON'T COME BACK TO MALAYSIA...EVER!! Go to Thailand or anywhere else for your adventures. Criticism is welcomed but only if it's constructive and fair. As for the nice black young lady, I'm sorry you felt victimised for your skin colour but know that we're not against blacks or whatever your skin colour. We're pretty cool as long as you show respect & try to mingle with the locals. Unfortunately we've had too many unpleasant experiences with the blacks from Nigeria who came here as students & stayed on as illegal immigrants. They weren't nice at all, did a lot of nasty things here and were openly aggressive towards the locals. Hope you have a better experience elsewhere the next time.
I am not saying this because I an a racist . or out of malice but I have seen that most most blacks, mainly from Africa , don't really want to get to know locals . They usually congregate by themselves . I once saw a group of Africans who stay in a condo near Batu Caves and said hello to them but they just looked at me and continued speaking among themselves in their own language . I have traveled a lot and I have seen this same type of behaviour throughout Europe .
I’m white and have been here in Kuala Lumpur and no one has been nice to me other than Grab drivers and I’m a smiley guy that has plenty of friends back home. Malaysia is one of the coldest places I’ve been in the world.
Expecting everyone to enjoy a particular place at all times or all the time is illogical. Even if you ask certain Malaysians, like me for example, you will also hear some negative remarks. Thus, it's okay to be aware of some of its drawbacks because at least now we know where we may make improvements. I appreciate you so much for creating informative vlogs about our country. It's a pretty effective technique to promote for our country to the world, especially to inform potential tourists about Malaysia's positives and negatives in case they decide to come here. Malaysians, in my opinion, are pleased to welcome tourists to our country and to hold them up to scrutiny whenever they come. Enjoy your trip home, and don't forget to return with more fantastic vlogs from you.
The Danish couple is strange, they said bukit bintang is quiet and boring. First time I heard that. Chinatown is busy and vibrant compared to bukit bintang? I sense this couple like crowds a lot. Might as well stay in Jakarta. Myself I like peace and quiet. In fact my greatest period to visit kl is hariraya day 1 and 2. Perfect for me. I can drive from klang to pudu in 20 minutes flat.
@zaki depends where they come from. UA-camr like kensho quest are family oriented. No drinking. Anyway, the Danish couple is wrong, they can find beer in langkawi, just know where to get it. So blame themselves, not those around you. And tax free too.
@@keangwooichoo6138 - Indeed, it is true that beer and other alcoholic beverages are solely prohibited for local Muslims, but non-Muslims, particularly visitors, are not subject to this restriction as long as they do not do harm to others when intoxicated. The only drawback is that beer is more expensive here than in other countries especially compared to Denmark. In fact, beer is provided everywhere along Jalan Alor and Changkat Bukit Bintang for people to consume if they so like, but they must be willing to pay with higher prices.
As Malaysian, some of them are more worried about the trouble made by Africans. I am not generalizing it, but too bad there are one time alot of Africans setup illegal businesses here. A lot of them have been fighting with locals.
Interesting video mate. I was last in KL about 14 years ago. It was the first South East Asian country I visited. I was overwhelmed by the kindness and friendliness of the locals. I'm hoping to return at the end of this year. There's an old acronym YMMV, your mileage may vary meaning you might have different experiences. That's exactly the case with me. I recently went from super friendly Phillippnes and stopped in Thailand for 2 weeks. I found local Thais to be down right impatient and often got shouted out when I didn't understand them the first time. I found that very sad cos I'd heard Thais are very friendly. So my experience was the opposite of the Danish couple. If you met me at BKK airport I probably wouldn't have been complimentary about Thailand.
It’s a shame this is going on. I hope people can look at how people look but especially how people act. The lady we talked to would definitely not do any harm to any taxi driver 😅
@@Chai_Travel Some local people especially in kl, has face many hard situation when deal with african people bfore this.. not from the african tourist but from some of the african people that has lived/work here in housing area around kL because some of them make trouble with local people,.. so thats why from the bad experience, some local people bcome nore becareful when deal wth them.. but we feel sorry.. not all the african is like that.. especially student and tourist, there are good african people.. but how we, local people know which is student or worker..you yourself, i think know how good the local people when dealing with tourist/ outsider, they do not simply treat other people badly unless..
Malaysians are lovely and welcoming people....the country is beautiful....everything is so in order...diverse country and 1 bad apple can't judge all the people here...
Bon Voyage Chai, and thanks for sharing all your positive impressions of Malaysia to the world. As for the Danish couple, they need to do their homework before booking their stay and also draw up an itinerary that covers all the popular tourist locations in the city before coming for their visit. Hope they'll be better prepared next time. As for the student, it's just sad to hear about how she felt she was mistreated here in Malaysia, but there is more to the issue than meets the eye. Malaysian are generally not rac%st, let's just say there were a lot of unpleasant things that the African community had done here in Malaysia that the locals are not particularly pleased about, hence she was looked at in a strange and maybe disrespectful manner. Hope she'll overcome her challenges when she comes back to Malaysia to complete her studies though. Take care Chai, hope to see you back in Malaysia soon! 😄✌️
Thanks a lot mate Nick 😁🤗 it was a pleasure to see you’ve enjoyed the Malaysian series. Hopefully I can keep on entertaining you also outside of Malaysia. Also, we will be back later on if everything goes as planned 😊 cheers
@Chai Travel Sounds like there's a plan to shift your base from Thailand to Malaysia is in the cards? Haha...just kidding. Anyways, thanks for sharing all your wonderful vlogs. Cheers!
I am from Malaysia. If you are for partying and casual clothing, go to Thailand. If you are for nature, beaches, both Malaysia and Thailand have plentiful to offer. As for food, plentiful of choices in Malaysia but also not lacking in Thailand. All depend on your taste buds and personal choices like vegetarian, certain prohibition on certain meat etc.
For me I guess it depends on what they (tourist) like / prefer. If they like hustle and bustle I guess Malaysia not the place. Malaysia are laid back country (except KL) suitable for those who likes relax & slow travelling.. 🌿Malaysia is green country less pollution every where u walk there’s always trees, plants and public garden.. 🙋🏼♂️🙋🏻♀️for those whom appreciate diversity, multiculturalism & like witnessing how peaceful & harmony Malaysian people, then they could consider Malaysia. Major races in Malaysia ie Malay, Chinese, Indian, Borneo-ian, Portuguese, Org Asli & other races, we could sit in one table having each other cuisine without hesitation, respecting each other’s cultures & religion, as we Malaysia is truly Asia.. 🍛🥟Plus if they looking for food variety then Malaysia is the place, Malaysia has strong food cultures. ⛩🕌💒🏙 If they looking for UNESCO heritage or great modern architecture then Malaysia is the place ~ You can say Malaysia is the place where “EAST MEET WEST” it sit next to each other, where old British colonial buildings built many yrs ago standing proudly next to modern buildings. If the tourist like tall/ giant building then Malaysia has it all - we have Iconic landmark such as KLCC (world tallest twin tower) , PNB 118 (world second highest building), KL Tower (7th world tallest), one of highest mountain (mount Kinabalu) F1 track, reserved rainforest/ Unesco national park, mosque, temple, best shopping malls, famous for its stunning coastal areas and many more. 🤷🏼🤷🏼♂️ Well again it depends on what the tourist wants. We cannot expect night life in North Pole or looking for Chinese food in Kenya. Do we? If the tourist making wrong choices and said “ohh that country is boring” or “I won’t come again to that country” ...I guess they gotta do research before coming over to any country as I believe every country has different charm to offer. Anyways, safe flight ✈️ and be safe Chai.. I like all your Vlog.. Ur optimistic and spread positiveness among your viewer. Mucho love ❤️
I'm OK if people want to leave Malaysia. I'm kind of sick of people who come yo our country and expect us to follow them. Some people go to other lands and try to liberate people. I'm sick of that.
Good bye and thanks for the kind words about Malaysia. People always like to compare Thailand / Singapore with Malaysia , Ya, I agree with you we shouldn't compare, we should find the good in every country.
You are right chai , do not compare Thailand with Malaysia. They are touristy, we never rely on tourism to be a prosperous country. Our main revenue never came from tourism.
For me Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur or Cameron Highlands are too touristy. The real Malaysia are the small towns , villages and the rainforest. There are waterfalls and lakes deep in the rainforest which I don't think any tourist would have set their eyes upon, even the majority of Malaysians wouldn't know these places exist. Have anyone been to Simunjan, Sarawak waterfall?
Racist? No..we not hate them but we avoid them. I can see every month police, immigration etc come to apartment in Puchong because certain of them make trouble, selling drugs, scamming local girl to do drug smuggling. You can Google murder case in cyberjaya which include African people. Now we also have trouble with rohingya refugee from Myanmar. We Malaysian loving people but we don't like if certain people come and make trouble.
I hoped you enjoyed Malaysia. Thanks for showing it to us. I had not explored it before. Hey, I just noticed you are over 20K. Wow, and big congratulations! I didn't notice that until this video. I thought it was just under 20K when I last saw it. Good results for all your hard work. Hey! When I told you I would be posting my own UA-cam channel in a couple weeks, you were supposed to say, "Randy, I'll be a new subscriber!" 555. Enjoy the Netherlands. I've been to Utrecht and Amsterdam. Happy reunion with Ilona. Try and stay there until the smokey season is over. Best wishes. Safe travels.
Haha thanks mate Randy! Of course I’ll subscribe! Is it gonna be on Randy H? The leaving video did pretty good that’s why I gained a lot of subscribers in a weeks time 😊 thanks again champ 🏆 cheers

1:22 that's actually not uncommon among foreign students living in malaysia. I had met a Saudi guy who was studying in malaysia for 3 years and never once ate malaysian food. He only eat Arab food during his 3 plus years stay in malaysia.
Same with most Bangladeshi, they must have curry with their rice, and they will avoid seafood because of their mazhab. When I was working in a restaurant that had some Bangladeshi workers, the restaurant would always give them curry with rice otherwise they would just eat the rice with no gravy
And I remember in the 80s (ooops, now you know I’m a dinosaur), you can hardly walk on the streets. If you walked fast you might end up in the open drains
@@keangwooichoo6138 Another dino😂 Back then the order of the day went around the buildings like Menara Maybank, Dayabumi & Bank Bumiputra. Minibuses conquered the streets. I remember holding on a grip outside the bus entrance by just two fingers🥹
Our country, Malaysia, is unique in that it is home to various ethnic groups living together in a diverse cultural landscape, despite the different cultural backgrounds, we are able to achieve mutual respect for each other. Some of our communities are accepting of open lifestyles, while others are more conservative. Some can consume any type of food, while others have self-imposed restrictions, regardless of their choices, it is important to respect each other's way of life, this is the attitude that defines us Malaysians. When foreign visitors travel to more conservative areas, it is essential to learn to respect the local culture, and it is crucial to understand and appreciate other countries' customs. This is a form of mutual respect and etiquette. We welcome constructive criticism and feedback from foreign visitors, as it can help bring attention to and improve social issues in Malaysia. We hope that foreign visitors can enjoy their journey in Malaysia and experience the richness of our country's diverse cultural landscape.
Yeah, I totally understand the Danish couple. Visiting Malaysia you really have to manage your expectations especially if you have visited Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia which are super vibrant places. I went to Penang and it was honestly the most boring holiday of my life.
there are many more places that are hidden gem in Malaysia that not many tourists from the West and Europe know about it.. such as the world class islands and beaches in Sabah in east Malaysia, this place is only famous for tourists from korea, japan and china.. what is problem is that malaysia divided into two part, part west and east, when traveling to the east part tourists have to buy more ticket to go to east malaysia this will cause the cost increase, that why not so many youtuber can afford it to make content about beautiful place in east Malaysia.. they only know about kuala lumpur and penang 😂 even though malaysia offers ton interesting places to visit
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ~ Lao Tzu Millions Thanks for promoting Malaysia to the world.... Have a Safe and good journey
Not just in Malaysia. You'll feel the same if you're going to other non black countries.. Let say Uganda or Nigeria or Zimbabwe are the 'middle or high income' countries. Then imagine people from 'low income' countries like Malaysia or Singapore or Brunei go to those African countries. The black Africans would give the same treatments too. No such thing as racism. People reacted to stigma and the uncommon.
African societies are quiet tolerant, honest and extremely kind to foreigners as long as there is no hard crime involved. Of course this may change in Africa from country to country because on actual social-political issues supported by the media.
Its ok if they find it not as interesting as Thailand, Thailand everything is situated jn 1 spot while Malaysia isn't you need to search for it and actually travel, I as a Malaysian haven't finish finding the gem of this country
So sorry girl,maybe few locals had bad experiences with some Africans down here,I had heard about it many2 years ago,as u know Africa continent is huge,some parts may have bad n rough guys but surely not all,K.Lians must heard Africans criminal connections,so these bad lots must have left tarnished reputation to Africans,feel sorry about dat,bydway I'd like to wish dis Utuber,n d rest a pleasant journey home,n hope to see u all bck here again as Malaysia alwys welcome u all
Malaysia is a Muslim country that’s why you can’t find alcohol in places where majority are Muslim. However you can still get them at convenience stores, supermarkets and pubs.
I think Malaysia is not a Muslim country. But with Muslim majority & Islam is a official religion. Therefore every thing about Islam is a big thing. Even Islamic laws for Muslims. The gov took advised from several ministries & agencies such as ministry of health not to promote beers & cigarettes. Just my 2 cents.
Have you been to East Malaysia - Borneo? You should visit Sabah, Sarawak for all the snorkeling/diving and nature. Its totally different vibes from the West Malaysia.
I am from Peninsular Malaysia (Perak tbh) and I love Sabah. I've been there for 3 years. For people who love nature like me, Sabah is the best place ❤️
@@Chai_Travel if you like nature, Borneo is the best for you. Especially, Sabah. From west to east, Sabah has variety of ethnicity and good nature. Go to Sipadan Island and you will forget about Maldives. 😂
If you think being stared, photo being taken is racism... well, me as Malaysian also get stared a lot. I am Malay, look like chinese talk rojak... taken lift or public transport people mistaken me as chinese and talk mandarin or kantonis with me, some malay will talk in chinese slang thinking i am chinese... Just chill, if i go to the girl's country, don't you think people there will do the same? But i can assure this girl never had someone slurred any vulgar words, harass her, bullied her, picked on her... especially not in public transport and public space. if one day you get stare at, say hi to them... malaysian are indeed friendly, they stared because they are interested in you not in a bad way. SAY HI TO THEM, AND THEY WILL WELCOME YOU WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE. Like me... if chinese aunt talk to me in mandarin, i do understand a little bit so, i will nod and show my interest. if some pakcik talk to me in chinese slang... u answer the same and entertain them. It's fun actually. sometime when you go abroad... OPEN YOUR MIND. DON'T BLAME THE CULTURE AND THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL. You are the one need to blend in. and to those that say we can't buy alchohol in langkawi... hahaha really? since when? further more before you come to any country, study it thoroughly. don't blame the country's because the law had been there long before you ever born and step on its soil. Malaysia is dominated by muslim and Islam is the main religion, of cause they don't simply sell alchohol to public but it does not mean you can't buy it at a proper place. and don't ever think that you can drink and be drunk like you are in britain or any western country. Your culture will not mind it, malaysian in general do mind it.
Shamilla, take it as a compliment when ppl snap your pic. People only took picture of beautiful thing, no one will take picture of shit right? Hope you do well in your study
Abt the grab situation, some grab drivers avoid ppl contact cuz theyre busy, trust me, when the person who order the food meet the grab driver, cuz they'll have a conversation, this will drag his time to deliver other foods, remember you're not the only who want foods
Malaysia is definitely not Thailand and not trying to be Thailand. In fact for that same reason I like Malaysia especially if I have a family to bring them up in. It would either be Malaysia or Singapore. Thailand brings an altogether very different vibes. To be sure I like Thailand too but have also felt that they both are unique, have their place and cater to different strokes. I sincerely hope Malaysia will not just be another Thailand and Thailand not be like Malaysia 😂 In terms of cleanliness of a city, there are many considerations - for a city the size of all of KL, its surprisingly clean. Singapore is a city state with no land borders and accessible only via a bridge from Johor and various sea and air ports. It’s relatively easy to manage and already developed. Malaysia has many more constructions going on esp in KL with imported labours. It also sees an increasing influx of tourists every year. Notwithstanding all that I would agree that there is always an opportunity to improve the city in many ways including the overall cleanliness of the place. Just as a side note, New York is certainly not a clean city. In fact its a common sight to see rubbish strewn everywhere. I remember going to central station one night and was shocked to see the streets at night full of litter everywhere you look.
its common for western tourist to think just because we are the same region that we are have the same culture, we get irritated but nothing too serious, we understand that Malaysia is not that well known compare to thailand or Singapore or vietnam. great content chai, I've watch all ur malaysia's video. are u coming back here again this year?
Everybody has some degree of racism within them. However a pathological racist person show these signs: 1. They make everything about their skin colour or race and dismiss possibility of other things. 2. Play the race-card to gain attention 3. Think that only their live matters (or of more importance compared to others) to the extent of shouting it to the rest of the world. Malaysians had bad experience with certain group of people from a certain continent (very loud, get drunk in public, molesting ladies, criminal activities while using student/tourist visa) back in the earlier 21st century. I don't blame them for being cautious towards them. One important tip is Malaysians are shy, reserved, quiet, respectable and humble people. Generally they dislike people being loud in public and they respect other people's privacy hence not smiling or approaching strangers unnecessarily. Really enjoyed all your interviews Chai. Thanks and Bon Voyage.
We appreciate about the story and honesty of everyone. But we also pity for locals with so many tragic stories. That's makes some locals may skeptical. Normally police patrol with 2-3 persons in others small town but in KL we used to saw 6-7 policeman patrol with full gears ...its not only about R, but more about safety..
@@Chai_Travel Yes before the pandemic. But for the first half of this year, Malaysia has a 90% return to capacity compared to about 75% for Thailand. So in terms of success, it was number 1. In terms of tourism arrivals, still slightly smaller than Thailand. But the gap has shrunk now versus Thailand from before the pandemic.
I am from Singapore and so I am free to comment honestly about Thailand and Malaysia. Since your channel is based in Thailand, you will not say anything bad about Thailand. The topic is cleanliness. Singapore is clean because of the strict rules and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. In Singapore, I am restricted to follow the rules and so when I am walking on the street in Singapore, I must ensure that I do not drop a piece of paper accidentally or I will get fined. When I cross over to Johor Bahru in Malaysia, I feel so free from this restriction and I don't have to worry about dropping off a piece of paper and I can throw a durian seed on the street but overall Malaysia's garbage is well maintained. It is only that the garbage in Malaysia will be cleared later as compared to Singapore where the garbage is cleared everyday. Then when I cross over to Bangkok, the city is much bigger than KL and so there are more piles of garbage on the street. One biggest problem in Bangkok is the air pollution due to the extensive use of diesel in boats and vehicles and due to the pm 2.5 particles from the burning of crops. The situation is so bad now and Bangkok is now one of the most polluted cities in the world to live in and I am sure Thailand lovers will try to avoid this air pollution topic. See this link about the air pollution in Bangkok : ua-cam.com/video/_WksO3hefFY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/GMa59QxMVKI/v-deo.html Lastly, it is about the spiritual cleanliness. Thailand is a Buddhist country and for a true Buddhist practitioner, the first and the most important teaching of Buddha is to refrain from excessive desire . The Thai government and the Thai people are very supportive of the prostitution industry in order to boost tourism and this makes Thailand spiritually unclean. Well, prove me wrong!
@@sup-rp4ci i didn't see he's bashing thailand, i see him telling facts thru his own experiance. If what he said is true, it's not bashing. You should take it positivly and work to improve the situation.
Most of the tourist thought Malaysia is Kuala Lumpur..or Penang, if they travel to other places within Malaysia they can discover a lot more exciting things...the kampungs life, the beaches, the mountains...so on so forte...
You need more time to know Malaysia better. Malaysia is not only KL or Langkawi. Regarding cleanliness, it takes time to educate netizens. It must be started from youngsters therefore it will take years to improve in that area. Singapore may be one of the cleaners country but they successfully did that via very strict rules and regulations whereby here, we have rules but never implemented strictly!!
Thank you for your comment ! Great to have you in Malaysia and hope you have enjoy our food and scenery as well. Looking forward to have you back to Malaysia again.
Its unfortunate the Danish couple short stay is full of displeasure or not as expected. I think such short stay is just not enough to explore or learn abt the country, moreover when you hv no friends to help you. Many Malaysians will be happy if they keep going to Thailand.
0:37 I feel sorry for the student girl. One solution just to ignore. We don't discriminate here especially our public officials. Police won't stop you just because of skin colour. Trust me, it's far more worst countries outside Malaysia.
I’ve never seen that in Malaysia 🤔though it may exists but I think very rear thanks for your vlogs while you were there hope you return there and maybe do more of other states in Malaysia apart from the tourist ones Best wishes to your travels 😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
Without knowing your name, already in the first thirty seconds I'm pretty sure that you are Dutch. Ik heb je geabonneerd. Kijken wat je nog te bieden hebt! Deze video was leuk.
How can the denmark couple compare malaysia with other country, why don’t they compare malaysia with saudi arabia. They can’t event see alcohol in the shop. We are muslim country. Tourist should followed the culture in one country. If they go to china, they think they can do anything they want? It an unfair comment from this tourist. I like I-chang the japanese couple, they understand and respect the culture of one country. Bcos they are asian and good japanese people. Japanese always showed good behavioir in our country. 👍🏻
They compared it with Thailand as they explained because they use to go on holiday there :) I like to compare to see the different elements of countries without thinking in “better and worse”
@@Chai_Travel u should remind them, malaysia is a muslim country and not every place selling alcohol. Like we muslim, when we go to denmark or other non muslim countries, we have set out mind that ‘halal’ food is not easy to find and we google where to get ‘halal’ food . And we are ready with their culture. So no culture shock😂 unless u wants the people of langkawi to hear the complain, which i think they will ignore bcos they still can get tourist from our country and the muslim won’t sell alcohol becos it ‘haram’ and the government of kedah won’t allowed selling alcohol. They are good muslim country like kelantan n terengganu.
I don't think it's the skin colour that makes people stare or take photos, because we have very dark Malaysian Indians. I think it is more of their hair styles, like the rows I'd braided hair, which is quite unusual.
Hey Chai, Thank you very much for this episodes in Malaysia 👍always good to hear some experiences from other people, i like your Interviews very much ! I have a friend in my Hospital, she was stocked in KL in the beginning of Covid, - 3 month - and even she couldn`t explore much, she loved the city and she is going back now... i have never visited KL or Malaysia, but i will go once... I wish you and Ilona a joyful stay with your lovely mom and family in Nederlands💖🙏
A big thank you 😃 yes I think you definitely should put in on your bucket list:) wow 3month of being stuck due COVID doesn’t sounds like fun 😕 I hope she can experience the KL in a different way now 😍 thank again 😁
@@Chai_Travel Hi Chai, she was on a "sabatical", one year travelling SEA, and she had an appartement in KL, she was fine and happy, so she told me, then she went to Bali etc. She is now on her way back to Malaysia to discover what she couldn`t in 2020
Its funny, playing victim due the skin colour? Malaysians have varieties of skin colours, Indians mostly darker skin and many Malays have dark complexion, orang Asal (aborigines) etc. When some Africans don't get their way, they usually playing victim as racism. I still remember one African youtuber came to Malaysia but had problem depart to Indonesia due to no visa in advance, she accused the immigration officer is racist. Mind boggling! We have many African students (genuine using their studying visa) are adapting well in Malaysia, even worked in Malaysian afterwards and some married with locals. Malaysians always welcoming all people around the world to work, study and live here, but once you disturbing locals, creating problems (crime, scamming, etc) you'll be not trusted, but hey, everybody is different and you cannot expect you'll be getting same treatment from everybody everywhere you go or anywhere you live. Just be yourself, kind and smile!
Hmm I don't think its funny. I can imagine it is painful to be treated differently for a healthy young student who does not do anything wrong but good. I agree everyone is different and we all just need to be kind :)
@@Chai_Travel I think you misunderstood me. It is called 'inferiority complex'. Being different in a foreign country it's happens to most of us. I've been living abroad nearly 20 years in the west (Europe) since I was a student, and I get used to with the racist remarks (verbal, action and indirect racist treatment) but I never blame them and playing victim. Its nothing about your skin colour being black, brown or yellow, or your eyes shape etc. It just because is being different than majority. The only way is trying to be friendly with locals, knowing them, mingling with them and eventually they will accept you and treat you as one of them without seeing your differences!
Alcohol are expensive in our country because our country does not encourage our society to spend on unnecessary things because many cases of accidents on the road are caused by drunkenness and we hate this very much
It's expensive because some of the raw materials are imported, since they are not grown locally.
Higher price also equal higher sin tax, which helps our government fund better community projects.
I’m Vietnamese, I’m 100% supposed Malay with this rules on Alcohol
Drinking & drunk on alcohol, affecting others ppl & break laws.
Black skin racism is not a thing in Malaysia. We even have dark skin tone people here in Malaysia. The stare is usually because certain African people tend to mingle and socialise among themselves, when they do they usually talk with loud voice. Malaysian do not hate skin colour, they hate crime and rude behaviour. I used to live in apartment area in Puchong.This area are area where many African people get together for drinking. They always arrived in group to drink at small pub there which opened from dusk past midnight up till wee hour in the morning. There always a fight broke out when they get drunk. Men and women, with loud voice. You will see bloody scene and police will come. Everyday. Not an exaggeration. As resident there, I move out after 3 month. No more sleepless night. Thats only small cases of what actually caused them viewed negatively by locals.
The chinese are racist
Colour of skins , nothing about it!!!
Thats right! Malaysians has no issues on skin color but rudeness when they are drunk is a big no-no!. Recently there was an african-american man who got drunk and hit an old chinese man just because the african man doesnt want to pay for the food he ate at the old mans restaurant. So foreigners who comes to Malaysia I advise you if you want to drink, make sure you dont get drunk and do any crime here. In the case mentioned here, I am guessing the grab driver had experienced taking african customers who ended up running away and not paying when they reach their destination or worse yet, he got robbed by his african customers.
Stop justifying it. Malaysians are rude people and racist even to your fellow Malaysians. Stop being a liar Malaysian that's why the world regarded you as a liar
nothing about skin...more about your attitude or rudeness
Regarding the racism that the black girl receiving, there are back story about African (Not that I know if she is from Africa or not but the back story is regarding Black African). This is actually not about skin colour at all. So this is something that started around 20 years ago and it continues for years. Back in the day, Malaysia had just started to actively sought international students intake especially in private colleges. At the time, a lot of new private universities being opened and they need student to survive. So they just accepted anyone. Long story short, during those times and continue for decades, African students are mostly known (Not all) for abusing their student visa. They rented apartments and condos. But instead of actually studying, they do some shady business. And crime rates in the area involving African increased and this create tension with the local. Im just assuming here but when she said she never tried nasi lemak and she and her friends got stare from people, I think she doesn't really mingle with the local. I have a lot of African friends during my uni time (10 years ago) and at works. I can definitely say nobody is actually stare at them. Probably because they mingle with the local and adapt to the local culture.
Yeah... this is somewhat true IMHO. You can't find that many people of African origin in Malaysia. Just like there are not many Mat Salleh many decades ago, they are treated like aliens. It's not about the skin color, no, not at all. Furthermore, many Africans when they were here, many of them do not respect the local culture. They are more famous for scammers and black money. Anyhow, racist people do exist anywhere in the world. I've experienced it myself when traveling overseas, even traveling locally.
Kalau setakat kena stare tu tk pelik lah, kita masuk restaurant pun orang ramai2 pakat duk pandang .buat tk tahu je dh ler. Maybe dia tk biasa. Tmbh lak dia rsa diri dia lain dari org lain. Kita ni tkde pikir papepun kan. Tkpun yg ambik video tu dak tik tok sape tau. Zaman org duk pakat ambik video semua ni. Termasuk lar yg tgh wat content ni🤭🤭
Totally agree
i agree to ur writings,Rahsia Alam .
It is same as Australians stereotyping Malaysian visitors abusing their visa to be fruit pickers
Saya ada layan beberapa video lain nya dpd chai ini.. Satu benda yg aku suka.. Dia betul2 buat content yg jujur.. Bila dia puji, tak da lah nampak puji sampai tahap dewa.. Then ada beberapa point yg dia rasa kurang baik tu pun tak da lah dia kecam sampai menghina or nampak melebih lebihkan sesuatu isu.. Sebagai rakyat malaysia saya suka pandangan yg membina bergini.. Kita berlajar lah terima hakikat, terima pandangan org.. Mana yg baik kita kekalkan, mana yg kurang kita perbaiki lah.. Jgn lah menjadi spt org di suatu negara dlm cerita dongeng zaman dahulu tu yg sentiasa nak mendonia jer fikiran mereka hingga kaki pun tak berpijak di bumi yang nyata..😁
Willy 🙏 that’s so nice of you to say 😃 thanks a lot and I’m glad you’re enjoying what I make ❤️🏆 have a beautiful day and night. Hopefully we’ll be able to travel more of Malaysia this year 🏆 cheers
Terus terang aku suka komen kau..memang berpijak di bumi nyata.
Bukan Chai ini asal Indon ke...mungkin ada niat tersirat you never know?
i just geram that the places they go is the wrong ones, hard to get alcohol? seriously?
well, as a Malaysian, from our perspectives it's not all about the skin colour, I think maybe it's more about a stigma and generalization, not too long ago we have many Africans causing some problems within this country, and as an effect we did what humans do, we generalize and we try to avoid them even though we realized that's cannot be the same for all of them, I've alot of black friends but still I'll avoid any Africans that I don't personally know.
I got it but all Malaysian think about black people same way. And also chinese locals also do same illegal work more then african. How about them
@@mdovi1111 please don't oversimplify and over generalize things, we Malay have our own generalization about Chinese and vice versa, but it's not all black and white and we all have our share of negativity but we try not to focus on that and try to focus on collective positivity and our shared experience as community and try to improve that, are you local?
@@mdovi1111just jangan ganggu orang lain and create public disturbance seperti mabuk dan berkumpul beramai ramai. What crime you do away from public is between you and the Law.
@@mdovi1111nah, not all of us think about them “certain way” dont care who you are and where youre from, if you cause trouble, youll definitely be on the spotlight. Us Malaysians are very much mind your own business type of ppl, unless something huge pops up, or ppl disrespecting our country and people.
LIES!!!! It is ALLLLLL about skin color. What color are most Africans, Black? People do not see your passport when they see you, they see skin color. I lived in Malaysia for 3 years and found people that would not rent to me and they said because I am black, I saw signs posted on apartments saying no Africans. I am not African, but as a black woman, that hurt my soul. I had Chinese people point, laugh, and take photos of me; people got up from their seats on the bus because I sat next to them.
The Malay Malaysians treated me better. But racist are there
Its not about the skin, its deeper...attitude, good behaviour, ability to understand and assimilate to local cultures etc...etc..otherwise we are all human with all the flaws...
Talking about the Danish couple, you're right, Chai. Uniqueness in a country doesn't mean you should expect the same type of uniqueness in another country. Just because Thailand and Malaysia are literal neighbours doesn't mean both countries must have the same thing.
Cheers mate 🤗
Some tourists not prefer a place overload with foreign tourists. They want to see/feel differences & balance. They want to learn new things. Not just drink beer, dance girls, enjoy partying all time. Every countries have their own income to focus. Not only for tourism. Everything must be balance.
Could not agree more! Just like siblings, they are from the same parents - yet siblings have different characteristics charms, wits and personality, likes and dislikes, etc. Every country is UNIQUE and has its own personalised CHARMS, just enjoy lah, dont stress stress... talk to locals, they will make your day!!!! Either they understand you or your dont understand them , surprisingly things will work our for you! 😉
Yes, thats the uniqueness of south east asia..if all country in south east asia were the same as Thailand, it will be boring..such as Malaysia, has lots of different people. If all were Malay people in Malaysia, then you would not find mixed variety of culture, food, art, architecture etc in Malaysia.
Naturally you walk more or otherwise rent a car to explore d places..
We Malaysians have been through pretty bad experiences with Nigerians. They came to our country and sold drugs, scammers and were sexually abusive. A lot of them are already being caught by police and immigration. We Malaysians would like to live peacefully without trouble.
Except some Malaysians like to stir up racial issues.
You know who you are.
Indeed.. We are not racist towards black people. But black people in Malaysia tend to always involve in criminal mostly drug trafficking by using their 'student' title. Come to Malaysia for study but who know they are drug smugglers. Always drunk and make loud noise even in the middle of the night. That is why we Malaysians are not so friendly with black people.
@@rynahazreena88 Some Chinese are rich, therefore all Chinese are rich.
Some Malays like to unsheath their kris and yell Ketuanan Mawayu, therefore all Malays are sama-sama.
I'll let you decide the logic of that.
@@RUHappyATMcheck the crime statistics dumb
Thanks Chai..for visiting and promoting Malaysia...and also the interesting interviews
Our pleasure! Thanks for being part of the show 🏆😁
Have been to Malaysia three times and once to Thailand. I hope to be able to come back to both! They both have their similarities as well as their differences, but they are both incredibly beautiful and pleasant countries to visit
Nice one Arro 😁 I hope you’ll be able to get back one day 🤗
After I work and travel many countries. I realise my country Malaysia Kuala Lumpur always is the best place for retire or calm down ourselves and restart our amazing life . We are not happening like Thailand everywhere or everytime, but we really enjoy our life and work here. We enjoy with our love 💕( parents, couples, children and friends) especially the food. Is amazing
Poor to that girl.. she was so kind . But some black people before make trouble to this society.. make malaysian avoid them.. not about their skin.. we also have black skin, but less racism..
Yep I feel weird when she said its about her skin, bruh some Malaysian has darker skin than her.
true... i remembered some times ago, african students almost flooded subang / cyberjaya, mostly from few named private colleges, and their actions actually made me speechless haha
Poor girl indeed. Lucky she’s strong and super lovely 🤗
Lot of crime did by Nigerian n few African nations before... It's tainted a bad perception to the rest surely... But all of the bad looks can be wiped off if you make a lot of local friends...
From what I observed of African women staying in Malaysia( from their youtube channel) , They seems to have higher expection .
For example an African was pissed off and calling the Malaysian Police, Immigration and airline staff as RACIST just because she could not fly to Indonesia ( Indonesian immigration require her to have visa ) .
The way they talk , demanding things and in very loud voice are offensive to Malaysians. Most Malaysians are soft spoken and do not demand .( cultural difference issue. )
The lady in the video has wrong perception about Malaysians. There is no skin colour discrimination in Malaysia .There are a lot of Malaysians( especially the Orang Asli) having darker skin and curlier hair than her.
If you want to just party and have fun all the time, Malaysia is not suitable for you. Thailand is your best choice. But for me, I love Malaysia because the balance of life is really great. A lot of things to do. Affordable living. Super delicious food. Friendly people. Beautiful scenery wherever you go. Calm. Complete infrastructure.
Affordable living if you’re either upper class or earning/working for an international company being paid in a different currency. Im great full enough that im middle upper. But the pinch is still present.
@@GoatofGods I am from the lower class rock bottom. You can consider me as broke. But I can still survive living in this country. Whenever I need money to eat & do important spending for my family, as long as we are healthy, there are various ways to make some money to make ends meet as long as we are creative.
@@marfauzamatjusoh8198 the same can be said for a lot of countries. I’m sorry for your situation. The government should really solve this issue by deflating the currency ever so slightly and maximising exports, creating new job opportunities, and increasing minimum wages slightly and making it stricter towards employers to pay employees accordingly. Amongst a lot of other things that could be done to improve the economy these few step would barely scratch the surface. Your ability to cope in this country all while appreciating it is admirable.
@@GoatofGods Yes. Prices for goods and services has gone up drastically especially food products. It is something out of ordinary people control. However, we can control our daily spending by substituting expensive stuff with cheaper ones & having fun through cheaper alternatives and dping occasionally instead of all the time to reduce the cost. Living a basic life is actually not very expensive compared to always having luxury goods & services (having all kinds of monthly subsciption payment for entertainment or possessing luxury expensive goods in order to look cool in front of others).
This is the problem with majority of people in this age. Worry too much of looking uncool and too much partying.
So true, those who want to party all the time better go to Thailand & Philippines.
For me I'd prefer Malaysia, more "balanced"
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how innocent,honest and polite the black lady was with her answers.🙌🏾All the best wishes and have safe journey back home.
Thank you so much. Hope to be back one day :D
1. As much as I feel sympathy for the young girl, but the stereotype look she had during her stay is nothing to do with her skin colour. Malaysians have had bad experiences with African communities in KL. They were known to show bad attitude such as being disrespectful to the locals, getting drunk and loud in open areas at night, rudeness, money scamming etc. This is a fact as it was covered in social media and mainstream news in Malaysia.
2. As for Denmark couple, do your homework before travelling!
Yes, that's the reality with African migrants in malaysia. My friend has a restaurant and next to his restaurant is an African restaurant. My friend told me that most nights Africans who came to the restaurant next to his would get drunk and fight amongst each other, create havoc, vandalism in the area, throwing things randomly.
Thanks for your input there 🙏 haha yeah the Danish couple had to do a little more research 😅
That Denmark couple who found Petaling Street as the most interesting part Malaysia is the most telling part of their expectations. They wanted hustle, bustle and chaos of a sterotypical Asian city. You won't find that here.
haha, I would say they are not the real traveler type, dont compared us to thailand which designed specially for tourists! malaysia is in its own nature stage, u must find and appreciate the gem, the gem wont come to u on ur arrival. and we can have beer anytime too, I dont know why they cant find it.
Why don't they stay in a tent in the middle of Jakarta or bangkok better for their lung. Yep I sensed they like crowded street, forest, parks and beaches.
They're looking something to entertain them after spending money for flights & hotels rather than explore.
Another self entitled Malaysian 🙄 lol the UN even busted Malaysia for pretending as a rich country when it is not. I've never seen so much homelessness in India but surprisingly in KL Malaysia 🙄
@@richardnuevo i guess you have not :
1. Interviewed the homeless to determine their nationality.
2. Visit california and philadelphia streets.
3. We never claimed we are a rich country.
I have been to Malaysia many times and yes, litter is a problem, yes the traffic and the way people drive is chaotic but looking beyond that, it is an amazing country with an immense amount of beauty in the landscape and the people. This is by far, my favourite destination.
Welcome to malaysia❤️
compare to other asian cities (e.g. hanoi/ Phnom Penh) kl is already one of the best cities in Asia in term of driver's attitude,cleannes, security and more. been to Malaysia couple of time and I love this country very much
Whaaaaaaaaat? I always thought Malaysia's quite clean. My country Thailand's worse by comparison. Especially Bangkok, with the new Governor at the helm it would seem that the litter problem has gotten worse. Garbage are floating into the main river from the small khlongs.

@@ApatheticNonbuynary its ok mate.. we malaysian have to improved.
Yes, Malaysia has been very kind and I am sure, in time, you will revisit and further promote wonderful places like Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Malacca, George Town and Langkawi and many other places yet to be visited It has been a wonderful experience seeing what Malaysia has to offer through the lens of your camera and some very positive and informative interviews. You have showcased Malaysia very well and hopefully encouraged more tourists to make Malaysia a future destination. Great work Chai. Enjoy your trip home to visit family and friends. You deserve the break 🤩
Thanks Steven! Man it was a great time in Malaysia 🤩 thanks for being part of this journey 😁 soon we will be in Thailand with this channel and I’m sure we will be back in Malaysia 🏆 cheers
You should visit Sabah. It is very different to West Malaysia. Over a quarter of a million foreigners and more than double that of Malaysians have visited in the first five months of 2023.
Please come back Chai, and do more of your street interviews! Love to see what people think of us in general, and how best we can further improve. Your angle is different and I personally like to watch honest reviews randomly. You take care, and do come back, we did not get enough of "Chai Travel" - the next round, must stay here for 3 months! Selamat Jalan (Safe Travels, in English). 🥰
Aw that’s so lovely! Thank you so much for this! You made me smile there 😁 it felt so good to be in Malaysia and experiencing different things, meeting amazing people ❤️ and eating of course 😂 hopefully we stay in touch and we’ll me able to go back sometime later this year 😁
@@Chai_Travel You can't get a better rap than that comment. Awesome and exactly what I could sense watching these interviews and reading the many positive comments!! 🤩
When tourists visit any country, they'll come n they'll go, it would never end. Every country has its charm n beauty. Every country has something to offer. Thanks for this wonderful video. Thanks for visiting Malaysia n do come back again in d future.
One thing I really don't understand about tourists, not so much from travellers, is to compare one place with another, one country, one city, one town, one village with another. Every place has its own vibe, charm n beauty. Every place has something to offer. Some people like touristy things, some people like less touristy things. I've read lots of positive n good comments about Malaysia from people around d world. But I also come across few hatred comments, namely from Indonesia n d Philippines, I'm not sure what r their concerns n problems. D southeast asian region is one of d most popular region for tourists, travellers, expat, digital nomad n students. There r plenty to choose, that's d beauty. Everyone has their own experience from their explorations n adventures. D tourism industry is now back to life after d long pandemic n lockdown. C'est la vie.
Thanks again Yasin :) I think it’s normal to compare (not to say it’s better or worse) to see what is different and how people and cultures are different. It’s so nice to compare The Netherlands with Malaysia as they are so different and they both have so many good aspects 😁 cheers Yasin 🏆
@@Chai_Travel Thank u too. Hope to see u again in Malaysia in d future. There's a channel, global gibbon owns by a Dutch guy who is married to a Malaysian Sarawakian lady. He made lots of videos about Sarawak n few videos, comparison between d Netherlands n Malaysia. It's all quite different between one country n another, be it in Asia, Europe or another continent. So, where's your next destination? Cheers. 😀
Some of them did on purpose. Some of them have interest in that country's tourism industries. Usually they will put in the comment 'I went to country A, nothing to see,so bad, worst, etc. Now I'm heading/in country B, everything so nice'.
@@imjuzsayin..5017 I supposed so u r right. Well, people have their own preferences when it comes to holidays, vacations n travelling. One tourists experience with d adventure n exploration in a country differs from one to another. It could be d same experience, should d tourists engaged with a tourists agency organized tour. 😀
Its my second time I Am in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. I have also been to Bangkok for one month. The two Citys are oppositie of each other ,. Bangkok is like the sister that is adventures naughty outgoing in your face ,hectic . Kuala Lumpur is the quit reserved ,well behaved ,following the rules sister. For me although i like Bangkok i prefer Kuala Lumpur because it is cleaner,Lush,better air quality ,more variation of Food different cultures living together,less hectic.
Chai ,Always welcome back. We never racist to any black peoples, we hv lot of indian , pakistan and Bangladesh friends too. My best neighbor is indian. But as our experience some of black African they really damage the whole house or never pay rental and runaway. And when local girl go nearby, they sometimes shouted the girl, we experienced at Kepong area. Sometimes we feel scare of their attitude. But some black African is really kind too. Be kind to Malaysian, we will respect all foreign friends ( just like our close friends or relatives)
Local people always just want to protect themselves and their families.
Thanks Lynn 😁
Thank you Chai for promoting my country,im very pleased to hear from foreigners about the good things they have said about Malaysia.
Your welcome 😊 hopefully I’ll be back soon
Indonesians also like to compare with Malaysia because we are small but we are different in many aspect and development is far better.
I have only a few words to say to those adventurous Danish couple, PLEASE PLEASE DON'T COME BACK TO MALAYSIA...EVER!! Go to Thailand or anywhere else for your adventures. Criticism is welcomed but only if it's constructive and fair. As for the nice black young lady, I'm sorry you felt victimised for your skin colour but know that we're not against blacks or whatever your skin colour. We're pretty cool as long as you show respect & try to mingle with the locals. Unfortunately we've had too many unpleasant experiences with the blacks from Nigeria who came here as students & stayed on as illegal immigrants. They weren't nice at all, did a lot of nasty things here and were openly aggressive towards the locals. Hope you have a better experience elsewhere the next time.
Thanks for your input but I think the Danish people still should decide themselves to come back to Malaysia or not ☮️
I am not saying this because I an a racist . or out of malice but I have seen that most most blacks, mainly from Africa , don't really want to get to know locals . They usually congregate by themselves .
I once saw a group of Africans who stay in a condo near Batu Caves and said hello to them but they just looked at me and continued speaking among themselves in their own language .
I have traveled a lot and I have seen this same type of behaviour throughout Europe .
Thanks for sharing your experience
I’m white and have been here in Kuala Lumpur and no one has been nice to me other than Grab drivers and I’m a smiley guy that has plenty of friends back home. Malaysia is one of the coldest places I’ve been in the world.
Expecting everyone to enjoy a particular place at all times or all the time is illogical. Even if you ask certain Malaysians, like me for example, you will also hear some negative remarks. Thus, it's okay to be aware of some of its drawbacks because at least now we know where we may make improvements. I appreciate you so much for creating informative vlogs about our country. It's a pretty effective technique to promote for our country to the world, especially to inform potential tourists about Malaysia's positives and negatives in case they decide to come here. Malaysians, in my opinion, are pleased to welcome tourists to our country and to hold them up to scrutiny whenever they come. Enjoy your trip home, and don't forget to return with more fantastic vlogs from you.
The Danish couple is strange, they said bukit bintang is quiet and boring. First time I heard that. Chinatown is busy and vibrant compared to bukit bintang? I sense this couple like crowds a lot. Might as well stay in Jakarta. Myself I like peace and quiet. In fact my greatest period to visit kl is hariraya day 1 and 2. Perfect for me. I can drive from klang to pudu in 20 minutes flat.
@@keangwooichoo6138 seems like their expectation of travel is lots of music party and beer.
@zaki depends where they come from. UA-camr like kensho quest are family oriented. No drinking. Anyway, the Danish couple is wrong, they can find beer in langkawi, just know where to get it. So blame themselves, not those around you. And tax free too.
@@keangwooichoo6138 - Indeed, it is true that beer and other alcoholic beverages are solely prohibited for local Muslims, but non-Muslims, particularly visitors, are not subject to this restriction as long as they do not do harm to others when intoxicated. The only drawback is that beer is more expensive here than in other countries especially compared to Denmark. In fact, beer is provided everywhere along Jalan Alor and Changkat Bukit Bintang for people to consume if they so like, but they must be willing to pay with higher prices.
Thanks again Noordin :) it’s good to have you on board. Hopefully Incan keep you entertained also outside of Malaysia 😊🏆
There is nothing to worry about foreigners leaving Malaysia as they are only tourists that come and go.
Just like the song by Boy George Karma Chameleon. "You come and go, you come and go ..."
That’s right :)
As Malaysian, some of them are more worried about the trouble made by Africans. I am not generalizing it, but too bad there are one time alot of Africans setup illegal businesses here. A lot of them have been fighting with locals.
Interesting video mate. I was last in KL about 14 years ago. It was the first South East Asian country I visited. I was overwhelmed by the kindness and friendliness of the locals. I'm hoping to return at the end of this year.
There's an old acronym YMMV, your mileage may vary meaning you might have different experiences. That's exactly the case with me. I recently went from super friendly Phillippnes and stopped in Thailand for 2 weeks. I found local Thais to be down right impatient and often got shouted out when I didn't understand them the first time. I found that very sad cos I'd heard Thais are very friendly. So my experience was the opposite of the Danish couple. If you met me at BKK airport I probably wouldn't have been complimentary about Thailand.
True
Genghis! That's a while ago! man, its time to go back ;) good to see you're still hanging around :D cheers mate
Black people are known to cause trouble to grab driver. Many stories about them. However feel pity for the black girl as she seems smart and nice.
It’s a shame this is going on. I hope people can look at how people look but especially how people act. The lady we talked to would definitely not do any harm to any taxi driver 😅
@@Chai_Travel Some local people especially in kl, has face many hard situation when deal with african people bfore this.. not from the african tourist but from some of the african people that has lived/work here in housing area around kL because some of them make trouble with local people,.. so thats why from the bad experience, some local people bcome nore becareful when deal wth them.. but we feel sorry.. not all the african is like that.. especially student and tourist, there are good african people.. but how we, local people know which is student or worker..you yourself, i think know how good the local people when dealing with tourist/ outsider, they do not simply treat other people badly unless..
enjoyed all your street interviews videos in Malaysia. Thanks for your sharing. Goodbye and welcome back anytime.
Thank you! We will be back 🏆
Malaysians are lovely and welcoming people....the country is beautiful....everything is so in order...diverse country and 1 bad apple can't judge all the people here...
True that :)
variety is the spice of life..

Bon Voyage Chai, and thanks for sharing all your positive impressions of Malaysia to the world.
As for the Danish couple, they need to do their homework before booking their stay and also draw up an itinerary that covers all the popular tourist locations in the city before coming for their visit. Hope they'll be better prepared next time.
As for the student, it's just sad to hear about how she felt she was mistreated here in Malaysia, but there is more to the issue than meets the eye. Malaysian are generally not rac%st, let's just say there were a lot of unpleasant things that the African community had done here in Malaysia that the locals are not particularly pleased about, hence she was looked at in a strange and maybe disrespectful manner.
Hope she'll overcome her challenges when she comes back to Malaysia to complete her studies though. Take care Chai, hope to see you back in Malaysia soon! 😄✌️
Thanks a lot mate Nick 😁🤗 it was a pleasure to see you’ve enjoyed the Malaysian series. Hopefully I can keep on entertaining you also outside of Malaysia. Also, we will be back later on if everything goes as planned 😊 cheers
Yep. There're so many contains about interesting places about Malaysia in UA-cam nowadays.
@Chai Travel Sounds like there's a plan to shift your base from Thailand to Malaysia is in the cards? Haha...just kidding. Anyways, thanks for sharing all your wonderful vlogs. Cheers!
I am from Malaysia. If you are for partying and casual clothing, go to Thailand. If you are for nature, beaches, both Malaysia and Thailand have plentiful to offer. As for food, plentiful of choices in Malaysia but also not lacking in Thailand. All depend on your taste buds and personal choices like vegetarian, certain prohibition on certain meat etc.
For me I guess it depends on what they (tourist) like / prefer. If they like hustle and bustle I guess Malaysia not the place. Malaysia are laid back country (except KL) suitable for those who likes relax & slow travelling..
🌿Malaysia is green country less pollution every where u walk there’s always trees, plants and public garden..
🙋🏼♂️🙋🏻♀️for those whom appreciate diversity, multiculturalism & like witnessing how peaceful & harmony Malaysian people, then they could consider Malaysia. Major races in Malaysia ie Malay, Chinese, Indian, Borneo-ian, Portuguese, Org Asli & other races, we could sit in one table having each other cuisine without hesitation, respecting each other’s cultures & religion, as we Malaysia is truly Asia..
🍛🥟Plus if they looking for food variety then Malaysia is the place, Malaysia has strong food cultures.
⛩🕌💒🏙 If they looking for UNESCO heritage or great modern architecture then Malaysia is the place ~ You can say Malaysia is the place where “EAST MEET WEST” it sit next to each other, where old British colonial buildings built many yrs ago standing proudly next to modern buildings. If the tourist like tall/ giant building then Malaysia has it all - we have Iconic landmark such as KLCC (world tallest twin tower) , PNB 118 (world second highest building), KL Tower (7th world tallest), one of highest mountain (mount Kinabalu) F1 track, reserved rainforest/ Unesco national park, mosque, temple, best shopping malls, famous for its stunning coastal areas and many more.
🤷🏼🤷🏼♂️ Well again it depends on what the tourist wants. We cannot expect night life in North Pole or looking for Chinese food in Kenya. Do we? If the tourist making wrong choices and said “ohh that country is boring” or “I won’t come again to that country” ...I guess they gotta do research before coming over to any country as I believe every country has different charm to offer.
Anyways, safe flight ✈️ and be safe Chai.. I like all your Vlog.. Ur optimistic and spread positiveness among your viewer. Mucho love ❤️
Well said, you have talent as Malaysian tourism ambassador
@@idawan09 lolz
I'm OK if people want to leave Malaysia. I'm kind of sick of people who come yo our country and expect us to follow them. Some people go to other lands and try to liberate people. I'm sick of that.
Good bye and thanks for the kind words about Malaysia. People always like to compare Thailand / Singapore with Malaysia , Ya, I agree with you we shouldn't compare, we should find the good in every country.
Thanks for watching James 😁
You are right chai , do not compare Thailand with Malaysia. They are touristy, we never rely on tourism to be a prosperous country. Our main revenue never came from tourism.
Thanks mate :)
For me Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur or Cameron Highlands are too touristy. The real Malaysia are the small towns , villages and the rainforest. There are waterfalls and lakes deep in the rainforest which I don't think any tourist would have set their eyes upon, even the majority of Malaysians wouldn't know these places exist. Have anyone been to Simunjan, Sarawak waterfall?
Racist? No..we not hate them but we avoid them. I can see every month police, immigration etc come to apartment in Puchong because certain of them make trouble, selling drugs, scamming local girl to do drug smuggling. You can Google murder case in cyberjaya which include African people. Now we also have trouble with rohingya refugee from Myanmar. We Malaysian loving people but we don't like if certain people come and make trouble.
Hmmm, I would treat everyone personally not in groups. But that’s just me 🙏🤗
Awesome channel nice amazing western man! Your most welcome to Malaysia
You’re so kind thank you 😁

You are right about comparing Malaysia with other country...of course the country has their own terms and way of living..
KL used to be very dirty, but it's massively improved in recent years. It's a fantastic City
Definitely agree with you 🤩
Yep in the 1980s the river of life is dead and dirty mate. But slightly better than Dhaka.

Our country, Malaysia, is unique in that it is home to various ethnic groups living together in a diverse cultural landscape, despite the different cultural backgrounds, we are able to achieve mutual respect for each other. Some of our communities are accepting of open lifestyles, while others are more conservative. Some can consume any type of food, while others have self-imposed restrictions, regardless of their choices, it is important to respect each other's way of life, this is the attitude that defines us Malaysians.
When foreign visitors travel to more conservative areas, it is essential to learn to respect the local culture, and it is crucial to understand and appreciate other countries' customs. This is a form of mutual respect and etiquette.
We welcome constructive criticism and feedback from foreign visitors, as it can help bring attention to and improve social issues in Malaysia.
We hope that foreign visitors can enjoy their journey in Malaysia and experience the richness of our country's diverse cultural landscape.
Yeah, I totally understand the Danish couple. Visiting Malaysia you really have to manage your expectations especially if you have visited Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia which are super vibrant places. I went to Penang and it was honestly the most boring holiday of my life.
there are many more places that are hidden gem in Malaysia that not many tourists from the West and Europe know about it.. such as the world class islands and beaches in Sabah in east Malaysia, this place is only famous for tourists from korea, japan and china.. what is problem is that malaysia divided into two part, part west and east, when traveling to the east part tourists have to buy more ticket to go to east malaysia this will cause the cost increase, that why not so many youtuber can afford it to make content about beautiful place in east Malaysia.. they only know about kuala lumpur and penang 😂 even though malaysia offers ton interesting places to visit
I'm sorry to hear this. But hopefully you'll never have a boring time again if you ever be back again :)

Not just in Malaysia. You'll feel the same if you're going to other non black countries.. Let say Uganda or Nigeria or Zimbabwe are the 'middle or high income' countries. Then imagine people from 'low income' countries like Malaysia or Singapore or Brunei go to those African countries. The black Africans would give the same treatments too. No such thing as racism. People reacted to stigma and the uncommon.
African societies are quiet tolerant, honest and extremely kind to foreigners as long as there is no hard crime involved. Of course this may change in Africa from country to country because on actual social-political issues supported by the media.
Its ok if they find it not as interesting as Thailand, Thailand everything is situated jn 1 spot while Malaysia isn't you need to search for it and actually travel, I as a Malaysian haven't finish finding the gem of this country
So sorry girl,maybe few locals had bad experiences with some Africans down here,I had heard about it many2 years ago,as u know Africa continent is huge,some parts may have bad n rough guys but surely not all,K.Lians must heard Africans criminal connections,so these bad lots must have left tarnished reputation to Africans,feel sorry about dat,bydway I'd like to wish dis Utuber,n d rest a pleasant journey home,n hope to see u all bck here again as Malaysia alwys welcome u all
Malaysia is a Muslim country that’s why you can’t find alcohol in places where majority are Muslim. However you can still get them at convenience stores, supermarkets and pubs.
Danish people never ask people.
They expect carlsberg and Heineken at the doorstep perhaps.
I think Malaysia is not a Muslim country. But with Muslim majority & Islam is a official religion. Therefore every thing about Islam is a big thing. Even Islamic laws for Muslims. The gov took advised from several ministries & agencies such as ministry of health not to promote beers & cigarettes.
Just my 2 cents.
Please come back again Chai, appreciate your honesty !❤
We will for sure 😃
Welcome back anytime. We love your channel and thanks for loving this country😊
Come back again to 🇲🇾 ... 🇲🇾 always welcome u guys ....

Thanks mate! We’ll definitely be back 😃 (who is Areef Hakimi?)

Danish couple so loved with crowded people.. woww bukan biasa biasa couple ni.. kita paling suka tak ramai orang 😆
Have you been to East Malaysia - Borneo? You should visit Sabah, Sarawak for all the snorkeling/diving and nature. Its totally different vibes from the West Malaysia.
I’d love to go one day 😊 I’ve never been
I am from Peninsular Malaysia (Perak tbh) and I love Sabah. I've been there for 3 years. For people who love nature like me, Sabah is the best place ❤️
@@Chai_Travel if you like nature, Borneo is the best for you. Especially, Sabah. From west to east, Sabah has variety of ethnicity and good nature. Go to Sipadan Island and you will forget about Maldives. 😂
If you think being stared, photo being taken is racism... well, me as Malaysian also get stared a lot. I am Malay, look like chinese talk rojak... taken lift or public transport people mistaken me as chinese and talk mandarin or kantonis with me, some malay will talk in chinese slang thinking i am chinese... Just chill, if i go to the girl's country, don't you think people there will do the same? But i can assure this girl never had someone slurred any vulgar words, harass her, bullied her, picked on her... especially not in public transport and public space.
if one day you get stare at, say hi to them... malaysian are indeed friendly, they stared because they are interested in you not in a bad way. SAY HI TO THEM, AND THEY WILL WELCOME YOU WITH THE BIGGEST SMILE. Like me... if chinese aunt talk to me in mandarin, i do understand a little bit so, i will nod and show my interest. if some pakcik talk to me in chinese slang... u answer the same and entertain them. It's fun actually.
sometime when you go abroad... OPEN YOUR MIND. DON'T BLAME THE CULTURE AND THE PEOPLE IN GENERAL. You are the one need to blend in.
and to those that say we can't buy alchohol in langkawi... hahaha really? since when? further more before you come to any country, study it thoroughly. don't blame the country's because the law had been there long before you ever born and step on its soil. Malaysia is dominated by muslim and Islam is the main religion, of cause they don't simply sell alchohol to public but it does not mean you can't buy it at a proper place. and don't ever think that you can drink and be drunk like you are in britain or any western country. Your culture will not mind it, malaysian in general do mind it.
Shamilla, take it as a compliment when ppl snap your pic. People only took picture of beautiful thing, no one will take picture of shit right? Hope you do well in your study
Abt the grab situation, some grab drivers avoid ppl contact cuz theyre busy, trust me, when the person who order the food meet the grab driver, cuz they'll have a conversation, this will drag his time to deliver other foods, remember you're not the only who want foods
Malaysia is definitely not Thailand and not trying to be Thailand. In fact for that same reason I like Malaysia especially if I have a family to bring them up in. It would either be Malaysia or Singapore. Thailand brings an altogether very different vibes. To be sure I like Thailand too but have also felt that they both are unique, have their place and cater to different strokes. I sincerely hope Malaysia will not just be another Thailand and Thailand not be like Malaysia 😂
In terms of cleanliness of a city, there are many considerations - for a city the size of all of KL, its surprisingly clean. Singapore is a city state with no land borders and accessible only via a bridge from Johor and various sea and air ports. It’s relatively easy to manage and already developed. Malaysia has many more constructions going on esp in KL with imported labours. It also sees an increasing influx of tourists every year. Notwithstanding all that I would agree that there is always an opportunity to improve the city in many ways including the overall cleanliness of the place.
Just as a side note, New York is certainly not a clean city. In fact its a common sight to see rubbish strewn everywhere. I remember going to central station one night and was shocked to see the streets at night full of litter everywhere you look.
Very cool interviews - honesty , diplomatic and happy people 👌👋👍🙏
its common for western tourist to think just because we are the same region that we are have the same culture, we get irritated but nothing too serious, we understand that Malaysia is not that well known compare to thailand or Singapore or vietnam. great content chai, I've watch all ur malaysia's video. are u coming back here again this year?
Thanks mate :) yes most likely. Let’s see how fast we will be back 🤩
I am Malaysian ..I feel sorry to her that what she experienced during her stay here. Not all Malaysian will treat you bad.
Most Malaysians are awesome ❤️
I wish you a safe journey and hope that you come back again.
Thanks you :D
Everybody has some degree of racism within them. However a pathological racist person show these signs:
1. They make everything about their skin colour or race and dismiss possibility of other things.
2. Play the race-card to gain attention
3. Think that only their live matters (or of more importance compared to others) to the extent of shouting it to the rest of the world.
Malaysians had bad experience with certain group of people from a certain continent (very loud, get drunk in public, molesting ladies, criminal activities while using student/tourist visa) back in the earlier 21st century. I don't blame them for being cautious towards them.
One important tip is Malaysians are shy, reserved, quiet, respectable and humble people. Generally they dislike people being loud in public and they respect other people's privacy hence not smiling or approaching strangers unnecessarily.
Really enjoyed all your interviews Chai. Thanks and Bon Voyage.
Thanks for your input there Sultry :D thanks so much for your support and hopefully we can stay in touch 🏆
thank you for all the thing u did here. take care!

We appreciate about the story and honesty of everyone. But we also pity for locals with so many tragic stories. That's makes some locals may skeptical.

Malaysia is the most successful country for tourism in Southeast Asia for the first half of 2023.
Ow really? I think Malaysia is one of the best for sure but I think Thailand is more popular for mainstream tourism
@@Chai_Travel Yes before the pandemic. But for the first half of this year, Malaysia has a 90% return to capacity compared to about 75% for Thailand. So in terms of success, it was number 1. In terms of tourism arrivals, still slightly smaller than Thailand. But the gap has shrunk now versus Thailand from before the pandemic.
Thank you for sharing of your experience (good & bad) and for your visit to Malaysia. 👍
Our pleasure!
Gooshhhh bro I am so addicted to your vids for now! Take care of yourself in Netherland though!
Ow thanks mate 😃 haha I hope it’s not a bad addiction 🤣
I am from Singapore and so I am free to comment honestly about Thailand and Malaysia. Since your channel is based in Thailand, you will not say anything bad about Thailand. The topic is cleanliness. Singapore is clean because of the strict rules and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. In Singapore, I am restricted to follow the rules and so when I am walking on the street in Singapore, I must ensure that I do not drop a piece of paper accidentally or I will get fined. When I cross over to Johor Bahru in Malaysia, I feel so free from this restriction and I don't have to worry about dropping off a piece of paper and I can throw a durian seed on the street but overall Malaysia's garbage is well maintained. It is only that the garbage in Malaysia will be cleared later as compared to Singapore where the garbage is cleared everyday. Then when I cross over to Bangkok, the city is much bigger than KL and so there are more piles of garbage on the street. One biggest problem in Bangkok is the air pollution due to the extensive use of diesel in boats and vehicles and due to the pm 2.5 particles from the burning of crops. The situation is so bad now and Bangkok is now one of the most polluted cities in the world to live in and I am sure Thailand lovers will try to avoid this air pollution topic. See this link about the air pollution in Bangkok : ua-cam.com/video/_WksO3hefFY/v-deo.html

Lastly, it is about the spiritual cleanliness. Thailand is a Buddhist country and for a true Buddhist practitioner, the first and the most important teaching of Buddha is to refrain from excessive desire . The Thai government and the Thai people are very supportive of the prostitution industry in order to boost tourism and this makes Thailand spiritually unclean. Well, prove me wrong!
Haha thanks for this little read 😉 I’m not able to prove you wrong at this very moment! 😜 thanks for watching 🏆 cheers

But why is there a need to bash Thailand? Does it make you feel better about Malaysia?

Hopefully on our next visit 🤩
All the nice words Chai. Thank you
Cheers Chew 😊 it’s good to know you enjoyed it 🏆
You need more time to know Malaysia better. Malaysia is not only KL or Langkawi.
Regarding cleanliness, it takes time to educate netizens. It must be started from youngsters therefore it will take years to improve in that area. Singapore may be one of the cleaners country but they successfully did that via very strict rules and regulations whereby here, we have rules but never implemented strictly!!
I totally agree with you so… ;) we will be back soon 😜 thanks for watching 🏆

Its unfortunate the Danish couple short stay is full of displeasure or not as expected. I think such short stay is just not enough to explore or learn abt the country, moreover when you hv no friends to help you. Many Malaysians will be happy if they keep going to Thailand.

Without knowing your name, already in the first thirty seconds I'm pretty sure that you are Dutch. Ik heb je geabonneerd. Kijken wat je nog te bieden hebt! Deze video was leuk.
Ey Sjaak! Haha that’s totally right mate 😁 bedankt! Groetjes vanuit Cambodja🏆 proost
We hv many colors in malaysian not a problem.
How can the denmark couple compare malaysia with other country, why don’t they compare malaysia with saudi arabia. They can’t event see alcohol in the shop. We are muslim country. Tourist should followed the culture in one country. If they go to china, they think they can do anything they want? It an unfair comment from this tourist. I like I-chang the japanese couple, they understand and respect the culture of one country. Bcos they are asian and good japanese people. Japanese always showed good behavioir in our country. 👍🏻
They compared it with Thailand as they explained because they use to go on holiday there :) I like to compare to see the different elements of countries without thinking in “better and worse”
@@Chai_Travel u should remind them, malaysia is a muslim country and not every place selling alcohol. Like we muslim, when we go to denmark or other non muslim countries, we have set out mind that ‘halal’ food is not easy to find and we google where to get ‘halal’ food . And we are ready with their culture. So no culture shock😂 unless u wants the people of langkawi to hear the complain, which i think they will ignore bcos they still can get tourist from our country and the muslim won’t sell alcohol becos it ‘haram’ and the government of kedah won’t allowed selling alcohol. They are good muslim country like kelantan n terengganu.
Tqvm for staying in Malaysia.
Thank you for watching mate Jeremy 😁
Nothing's perfect...but we can always adapt ourselves to any situation...tqvm for the compliment of M'sia ...❤❤❤
tqvm for sharing ur experience..stay safe n stay healthy..tc
Always a pleasure. Thank you for watching 😁
I don't think it's the skin colour that makes people stare or take photos, because we have very dark Malaysian Indians. I think it is more of their hair styles, like the rows I'd braided hair, which is quite unusual.
Yes.. Every country has their own character and situation.. Some parts our own is the best and some not.. Just live in your own experiences
Hey Chai, Thank you very much for this episodes in Malaysia 👍always good to hear some experiences from other people, i like your Interviews very much ! I have a friend in my Hospital, she was stocked in KL in the beginning of Covid, - 3 month - and even she couldn`t explore much, she loved the city and she is going back now... i have never visited KL or Malaysia, but i will go once... I wish you and Ilona a joyful stay with your lovely mom and family in Nederlands💖🙏
A big thank you 😃 yes I think you definitely should put in on your bucket list:) wow 3month of being stuck due COVID doesn’t sounds like fun 😕 I hope she can experience the KL in a different way now 😍 thank again 😁
@@Chai_Travel Hi Chai, she was on a "sabatical", one year travelling SEA, and she had an appartement in KL, she was fine and happy, so she told me, then she went to Bali etc. She is now on her way back to Malaysia to discover what she couldn`t in 2020
6 years in Malaysia, originally from USA, I prefer Malaysia 😊
Fair enough! I can understand 😜
Come to Mersing, Johor....my hometown....small town that had very beautiful beach & culture...but low on transportation system
I'd love to next time :D
Its funny, playing victim due the skin colour? Malaysians have varieties of skin colours, Indians mostly darker skin and many Malays have dark complexion, orang Asal (aborigines) etc. When some Africans don't get their way, they usually playing victim as racism. I still remember one African youtuber came to Malaysia but had problem depart to Indonesia due to no visa in advance, she accused the immigration officer is racist. Mind boggling! We have many African students (genuine using their studying visa) are adapting well in Malaysia, even worked in Malaysian afterwards and some married with locals. Malaysians always welcoming all people around the world to work, study and live here, but once you disturbing locals, creating problems (crime, scamming, etc) you'll be not trusted, but hey, everybody is different and you cannot expect you'll be getting same treatment from everybody everywhere you go or anywhere you live. Just be yourself, kind and smile!
Hmm I don't think its funny. I can imagine it is painful to be treated differently for a healthy young student who does not do anything wrong but good. I agree everyone is different and we all just need to be kind :)
@@Chai_Travel I think you misunderstood me. It is called 'inferiority complex'. Being different in a foreign country it's happens to most of us. I've been living abroad nearly 20 years in the west (Europe) since I was a student, and I get used to with the racist remarks (verbal, action and indirect racist treatment) but I never blame them and playing victim. Its nothing about your skin colour being black, brown or yellow, or your eyes shape etc. It just because is being different than majority. The only way is trying to be friendly with locals, knowing them, mingling with them and eventually they will accept you and treat you as one of them without seeing your differences!
