Malaysia could be one of your target destinations to travel to yet you still have second thoughts of strolling around its streets as it might be too costly for you.
But, just imagine having stepped on its capital, a cosmopolitan gem in the heart of Malaysia. Your worries on expensive lifestyle would definitely turn into a strong desire to spend the rest of your life in Kuala Lumpur.
Whether you are an avid traveler or just looking for a place to migrate in within Asia, Malaysia is just too wonderful to miss.
Here's why Malaysia is a good choice if you want budget-living in a luxurious place:
Malaysian products are cheaper than those in the United States
Investopedia suggests that you should stick to local-brand products to make good use of your money. There are also international brands in Malaysia but cost higher than the domestic brands. You can also enjoy your grocery shopping with the high-quality fruits and vegetables that are cheap. Products for personal hygiene are also inexpensive so as other household goods.
Malaysia has plenty of housing options
Most expats stay in Malaysia because of its varied luxury housing options located in high-rise buildings with great eating and entertainment amenities as what International Living Magazine noted. Places to stay at the center of Kuala Lumpur are quite expensive yet there are other high-rise building spaces with two or three bedrooms for only $750-$1,000 a month which you can share with a friend or workmates. You may also enjoy the unlimited Internet for around $36/month in almost all areas in Malaysia.
Moreover, if you are eyeing for a home to purchase, Expat Exchange suggests you get a highly-recommended local multilingual real estate attorney to help you out. As some property prices are designed to rip off expatriates you definitely need assistance in a country that you are familiar with.
Malaysia has health care services that are reasonably inexpensive
There's nothing to worry about your hospitalization as most doctors in Malaysia had high-caliber training in the U.K., Australia, or the U.S. as what International Living Magazine reveals. Rest assured you will receive a quality, first-rate health care services in the country, not to mention its hospital's modern medical equipment and its medical staff who speak English.
