To me KL has the edge but Bangkok is closing in fast. Every time I go to BKK, it seems more developed than the time before. I prefer BKK but I think KL is a little more developed overall especially considering portions of BKK are very poverty stricken.

In area? Not really, it sprawls quite a bit. Anyone who's been to both can clearly see that over the whole city KL is more developed/first world. Who is even voting in this poll??

Both Thailand and Malaysia have their Kings and Kingdoms.. Do they treat their royalties as next to God? or son of God? I've seen some Thai people worshiping the image of their King. any explanation on that? what about in Malaysia?

Thanks Mates!

Not treated as much as in Thailand, there are 9 monarchies in Malaysia all representing each states, but changed every years from one state to represent the country. But the monarchies are respected and would not be taken lightly by the Malays (not Chinese, Indian or Bumiputras) if you insult them, but not worshipped.

Malays are a subset of Bumiputras, and Malaysia also a national, elected monarch, I forgot his name, the Yang something a rather haha.

Well i would put the Sabahan/Sarawakians, they don't really feel that much affinity to the western side of their country especially the sultans.

Yeah, the non-Malay Bumiputra are another group. East Malaysia is quite different to the peninsula. Most Bornean natives now are Christian, but there are still sizeable Chinese and Malay groups. I've been to Kuching, it seems the ethnic tensions are also less there. I like how the pace of life is slower and people are friendlier there too.
