Too many girlie bars in BKK.
Regarding the Malaysia 2nd Home Programme, for a family you deposit MYR300,000 with a bank which will give you 3.7% interest/year in a time deposit.
You can purchase as many properties as you want, most are freehold. The legalities are based on the British system = much more straight forward than Thailand.
Any income from overseas is tax free. You do not need to file a tax return in Malaysia.
English is better spoken than in almost all other Asian countries.
A very good country to live in.
