Living In Ipoh, Malaysia For Two Months
Рет қаралды 62,614
3 жыл бұрынMonths 30-31! We weren't planning to stay in Ipoh this long, but this is where we found ourselves when interstate travel in Malaysia was banned due to Covid. And what a great city to spend two months! We'll show you our activities, food adventures, housing, and cost of living in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia!

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

There's d Kelly's Castle nd wonderful foods otw to Lumut, dried seafood stalls nd plenty of seafood restaurants and beautiful beaches in Lumut. A short boat ride will take u to Pangkor Island with more beautiful beaches nd sailing activities there. Hope u hv a great time there.
