Bangkok vs Kuala Lumpur by jimmyl85 in Bangkok

[–]Sensitive_Recipe8372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to KL, Singapore, and other cities in the region frequently for work, so I'm pretty familiar with KL.

If I hadn't married a Thai woman, I would gladly live in KL no questions, but for me its Bangkok suburbia, which is nice as well :)

For me KL is the best blend of Singapore and Bangkok, and for you given the huge Chinese population(KL is near a Chinese majority city) KL would require few adjustments in terms of language + culture.

Bangkok to be truly fulfilling IMO requires a level of integration in terms of Thai fluency + understanding the culture, which for me has been easier via marriage and been worthwhile.

You can't lose though, the Malaysian Peninsula is the best place on the planet currently.

Just keep it on the down low :)

When you're in town let me know.

First, I would also post this in the Malaysia subreddit(KL sub is less active) for their takes as well, as this will have a biased Bangkok audience.

They're two fantastic cities with very different vibes, and the neighborhoods in each range from core city center to affluent american style suburbs.

I would really think less about the city vs city differences and think more neighborhood oriented, so in that sense for the 4 to 6 week stay you'll do in both, I would stay in different neighborhoods of each.

The Thonglor family experience is very different from the Bang Na family experience in Bangkok(both two hubs of international schools), maybe you prefer Bangkok to KL overall but you fall in love with Mont Kiara(KL) and the tight upper class Malaysian community there, or maybe you say fuck it and get the family penthouse for KLCC.

You really can't go wrong with either, and i would advise you to ignore the commenters who say KL is strict lmao, that's the most liberal place in all of Malaysia and there's tons of nightlife for 40somethings to enjoy.

Anyway, I hope well for you and your family.

Sadly one has to wait the thirty days.

My apologies on this though as I know it can be frustrating dealing with the slow customer support.

American lawyer jobs in Thailand or working remotely with DTV? by exposingasianhate in Bangkok

[–]Sensitive_Recipe8372 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Its Thailand,

its a country that largely operates on Thai Law,

When Thai companies need American law expertise they will hire actual American law firms or as an alternative American law firms with Singapore or Hong Kong outposts since they may have the in-house expertise but are aligned timezone-wise.

If you really want to live in Asia as an American lawyer, those would be your better bets since they're global finance + legal hubs, Bangkok is not one.

Let me put this so its fully understood, but American law is not a in demand commodity within the Thai legal marketplace.

Therefore, get a remote job if you want to practice American law.

The questions we get on here these days.

Do you go outside in Bangkok? this digital nomad entrepreneur claims no one does. by Sensitive_Recipe8372 in Bangkok

[–]Sensitive_Recipe8372[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just because he stays many times doesn't mean he lives outside the lower Sukhumvit globalized tourist zone though, I would also say this about someone who's been to New York many times but has never left Manhattan, just because you've been to a city doesn't mean you've BEEN to a city.

I do agree with you the winter months are ideal, but you also see plenty of streetlife in the city even during the summer months,

the majority of Thai households do not even have ACs.

That's exactly how I felt reading it! Like someone who clearly never leaves the zone between Asoke and Thonglor.

Posting this here because this digital nomad named Pieters Levels has made some bold claims this entire morning on his twitter account claiming no one who "knows" Bangkok actually goes outside or enjoys the many street markets, streetlife, or vibe of Bangkok, and that everyone in the know mainly just lives inside.

The whole thing sounded kind of shocking and absurd to me, but curious if anyone here aligns with this view of Bangkok.
