Should be good chat.
Dog you one of the lucky Americans that made a good life in the Philippines.
Could not live in Philippines on my social security check language was not good people un friendly and lost all my rights it was Philippines way or no way no change
Enjoying the interview
You lucky dog saving in the Philippines
I'm 59 years old retired, I've lived in both places and my opinion is that in The Philippines you could have a younger Girlfriend 20-30 years old (Arm candy) and don't have to go broke, but in Thailand, the girls that wants to deal with foreigners are more older like 30-45+ years old who already past their prime from their profession (the younger ones would really cost you ). In The Philippines, relationships is possible with women who are more genuine and family oriented., it seem in Thailand that life is faster and women are more about money money money and what you can do for her. So that's my humble opinion.
Thailand is more on material things based on what i saw there while teaching meanwhile in Philippines its about love and family..
Pinay gf's most definitely CAN'T be trusted Myself and 2 expat mates almost got ripped off but thanks to a pinoy friend he got things sorted 👍👍👍
My mate's philosophy is " why buy when you can rent "
Spot on about Thailand my friend
You just haven't met the right girl in Thailand.. let me guess, you have only been to the entertainment area's
@@hobo1704 .,., Keep guessing, I was living in Chiang Mai for over 2 years, Mae Sot, Tak over a year, Phuket 3 months. Outside of entertainment places, most Thais are conservative by nature, Thailand GDP is almost 2x more than The Philippines, food is a lot cheaper in Thailand because they are net exporter and The Philippines imports more than they export.
Enjoy watching Richie and Paul's journey, both channels are informative and positive.
I like the way Paul explain his change of life. His sincerity and openness call my attention. His lesson of life find it very valuable.
What a great interview Ritchie Paul seems so relatable he’s just so honest and really laid back wish I could do what he is doing and we are both the same age .
Paul is a real cool dude, I watch his channel all the time. Very interesting guy. Great interview Richie!
I have lived in both countries for me its better fun in the Philippines defo
Spot on, keep up the good work!!
Great interview - Richie you are gifted in this area as interviewer - thank you for the upload! You let people talk and tell their story and many do not do that.
Good to see you guys chat - subscribe to you both. I think the reason you guys have made real friends from online subscribers is the fact you’re both so very down-to-earth, “normal” blokes.
The difference between your average vlogging RUclipsr and a TV presenter (anyone remember TVs? They’re the big, blank, black painting type thing you probably still hang on your wall) is you guys are the sort of blokes I could see myself sharing a beer with.
Keep up the good work boys!
Both of you guys are an inspiration for me. My retirement goal is still a few years away (not quite ready financially to pull the trigger), but seeing how good life can be in places like Thailand and the Philippines keeps me focused on my grind right now while keeping my eye on the prize. Great content - thank you.
I went to Thailand 2 months ago specifically to meet Richie It was worth it. I think you should take a trip to scout the country.
VISA IS LESS STRESS IN THE PHILIPPINES AND HOUSE RENT IS MORE CHEAPER THAN THE U.S.A....
Hi
Hi One Juan Won
Great video Richie , been a subscriber to both channels for nearly two years, great to see you guys connect TOP NOTCH 👍🏻👍🏻
I have been watching both of you for quite awhile. I retired a year ago and am heading to Thailand in 2 months. Like Paul I'm looking for a home base and plan on slow traveling around the rest of the world. I will definitely be visiting Maybelle's Coffee Garden!
Philippines for me hands down at least they listen to other people Thai people are impossible most of the time not that open minded at all not open to change its there way all the way all the time
Enjoyed the interview Richie and hearing Paul’s stories. 🙏🏽
Very helpful, always enjoy these.
That's a great video - just a nice honest conversation - and superb videography and sound too!
Great interview.... nice & positive....well Done Ritchie....thank's
Great vid. Even though i live across the border in Cambodia (recently retired at 55) it makes for interesting viewing to see how guys in PI and Thai are making it work. The locations may be different but so much is similar regarding budgets, relationships, hobbies, health etc. keep up the good work to both Richie, Paul and their significant others.
But you get Alot of xpats visit Thailand and thats it Thailand the best thing since slice bread but it soon goes soar believe me thais aren't flexabke or open minded at all I find pinoys gentle heartfelt people welcoming they never treat you as an outsider your always part of the family and community
Filipinos are the best natural caregivers.
Brilliant interview. I've subbed to Paul for a while now and Richie since you started and there are some similarities. Thanks for sharing!
Glad I found this channel really helped me out and making my decision
I love Thailand 🇹🇭 I was married with Thai girl for 4 years but from what I heard in some ways Philippines is cheaper and easier, Thailand has things are not foreigners friendly like the visa situation is very limited; and the way that coming from government no matter if you live in Thailand as foreigner or you visit Thailand I can say almost always most of the time you will pay more, rent,taxis , in most of government places if not all , or national parks,temples, some entertainment places, some restaurants is two prices one for foreigners and one for Thai no matter if you live in Thailand or not, now if you are visiting only Thailand for a short period of time with money to spend that will not bother you much, but if you are retired and lives from a budget it will affects you for sure.
True I imagine many dudes living there have a Thai GF or Wife which helps prevent Farang gouging.
How true, thanks guys for your time and effort.
A lot of expats are heading to Cambodia, the best Visa regime in SEAsia. I have close friends in Sumatra, so Cambodia is my choice (re flying back) to Medan). I like the Philippines, but cost of flying back to Sumatra is not profitable for me. Even the visa scheme in Indonesia has become very expensive for retirees on a pension. The old social visit visa no longer exists. You have to get an B211A tourist business visa outside of Indonesia at AU$835 approximately, for 60 days, extendable 2×60 days @
AU$550 approximately each extention. But you can renew inside of Indonesia indefinitely ATM.
So, I would say regards visa options would 1/ Cambodia 2/ Philippines. 🎄👍
I have my own house in Indonesia and my monthly expenses for everything including my yearly permit to live here is $1100 aus a month.
Paul is a good guy I'm happy that you interviewed him also I just subscribed to your channel, be safe peace👍
It’s funny that I became a subscriber of both Paul’s and your channel Ritchie when you both only had around 2000 subscribers , and Paul’s magic attraction is that he is the greatest story teller and he speaks so honestly and is one of the greatest and nicest people on You Tube .
Paul is one of the rare few people that can sit on a sofa without any editing what so ever , and you just can’t stop listening to him .
Thanks for having him your channel Ritchie as I was hanging for the old dog to travel to Thailand .
And finally he did , and I’m sure you would have loved spending time with him and learning a lot from his wisdom and his out look on life .
I am jealous of you Ritchie as I hope one day I get to sit and have a coffee or a cold beer with Paul and also yourself .
As you are both ripping blokes 😀
👍👍👍very good interview 5 stars
A really enjoyable video to watch thanks fellas
Excellent VIDEO 📹 👏 👍. I have been watching Sir Paul and Baby Mae since the beginning of Old Dog 🐕 New Tricks. Plus watching Baby Mae's channel. They are truly a part of my life now. Paul with his RUclips has helped me make the decision to move to the Philippines 🇵🇭 as soon as it opens up to everyone.
Great Video 📹 👍 👏 👌
Stay Safe 💕 💞 🙏 🙏
One thing visitors and expats notice about Thai people is that they are happy and friendly. And that is attributed to them doing what Paul suggested to his former self and that is to live in the moment. On the other hand that also frustrates expats who are so used to planning for the future.
That is true, seeing people working in very competitive markets making little money and still being friendly and cheerful. Many entitled people in more affluent countries would not be as cheerful under these circumstances.
VISA IS LESS STRESS IN THE PHILIPPINES AND HOUSE RENT IS MORE CHEAPER THAN THE U.S.A....
@@hechecraynes6635 Their US and UK governments purposely make their lives miserable in their home countries. So that their governments can spend more money on weapons, wars, hegemony, and imperialism. There are developing countries anyway where they can throw them away. One of the purposes is to make them like the American pioneers who robbed Mexico of its territories.
Try going to the Philippines..and be awed by how much Filipinos greet Foreigners with a Smile & a Greeting!!
Hi Guys , Glad to see you and Paulie connected . Been following Paul from the beginning. He’s a great guy and tells it how it is . Great video . Thanks for sharing !!!
Prefare Philippines lots of German and American friends from back in the day in the Philippines we still keep in contact after 14 yrs
Great interview, Paul’s recommendation to subscribe to your channel was all I needed. Looking forward to get the Thailand spin on life too. I did visit Bangkok once and really had a great time so ready to explore more as I enter my retirement. Thanks for sharing!
Been watching Paul for a while now, this was just a great interview to listen to....
Great interview Richie. Maybe a new avenue to explore and really interesting what you and Paul were sharing. Keep up the great work 😊
Nice interview I have been following Paul for a while he's an easy going guy. I'm also an expat on the next island to him in the Philippines and also lived in Phuket previously.
🙂شكرا لك معلومات جيده لكني أفظل تايلند لان الخيارات بهاكثيره وأغلب السياح في العالم تزورها
I’ve been following R & M for awhile and quite enjoy their content. Good stream on Saturday/Sunday Old Dog.
Good interview Richie. I watch both you guys .
Follow you 2 dudes over 2 years now. Can learn a lot about living life here. Thanks for that.
Great Interview !! I have followed the old dog channel since 2019 to help me prepare for my trips to the Philippines. I now watch for entertainment more than knowledge. I have not been to Thailand but it is on my list of places to visit on my next travel adventure. I will Definately look you up when I get there!! Enjoy -
I headed over to Maybelle’s Coffee Garden for a beautiful breakfast this morning. Was lovely to meet Richie! Keep living the dream buddy!
I have lots of money and I have never in my life thought for one second I am better than anyone else and never look down at anyone never
This is awesome, 2 of my favorite people from RUclips. Never expected to see you guys together, as I only follow about 10 people 😂
Watched paul from the start and yourselves from about a year ago, never thought you guys would collaborat together or even meet...crazy world👍
Hi Richie, I subscribed to your channel pretty much as soon as you started it. You are a great bloke with true morals. Seeing you with this expat shows how humble your are and open to others. Same as myself from the north of England living in Sumatra with my wife and our 10 year old little girl.
Top man my friend - a credit to RUclips 5 ☆
Great video of two of my favorite RUclips vloggers. I value both of you guys for your honesty, tell it like it is approach and genuine character. I am subscribed to both of your channels. You guys are an inspiration to many people around the world who are stuck in their daily grinds..... dreaming of making the leap like you two did🙏 . Wish you nothing but success 👍. I really enjoy watching your channels.
Great interview!
Great video! You should do more interviews of interesting people visiting Maybelle’s coffee garden. Keep on the good work.
Two unique HONEST AND REAL people. You both have a similar wave length yet both live different and are much different in life length. Wisdom from you both on meeting challenges as they come.
Starting to havet the same mindset , on many of your arguments . Good one ill Come visit for a coffe soon 😃👍
What an awesome guy. Will log on to see baby may. What a great name. Rock on in retirement.
Wow..Paul, "it's like ground hog day, each day is the same" That really spoke to me. Hope to be there in January.
Just stumbled on this vlog Richie…..it makes me think. Such a good interview.
I've actually watched a lot of Pauls videos already and he has a great character.
yes he is certainly a character.
Great video Richie lad 👍
Good interview mate 👍
Cool video thanks mate
This guy seems like hes very wise. Like the kind of guy you wish you could talk to when your going through a very painful or tragic time.
great video. good interview
Awesome video bro .... This is a good one w Paul
Paul cracks me up 😂
hahah....very cool....Paul on the Richie n Maybelle show....yeah watched him many times....
What a genuine, life-loving dude. Great interview
Enjoyed the vid .like the be Happy now...
Paul is a superstar now, but with hair like his it was bound to happen. LOL 😆 love you Paul.
Yep paul super star
My own experience Filipino girls more focused on your needs and seem happier just the ones I have met
My two favourite RUclipsrs. It’s like Xmas come early in Australia 😂. I like you guys so much because you are both down to earth and decent men. Good on you guys- very inspirational! I am keen to move for all the reasons you mentioned. Thank you both so much!
I’ve been watching you from the start Richie, but it’s only just dawned on me that the acronym for Richie And Maybelle is RAM, maybe it would be good to use for merchandising. Maybe on shirts and mugs?
Thailand's health care is rated in the top 10 by Numbeo at #8. Philippines not so much, it's rated as #37. For perspective, US is rated as #33. Worth considering if your health is a concern. Also, the Thai Baht has recently dropped against the US dollar, so your money is worth more. Good video, I gave it a like.
i follow you both. richie. and paul. both good story tellers. thanks to both. the world worldwide. is crazy. but. thanks guys. both. good luck. both. all.
Very good interview,,
Great vlog thanks
Great interview you should do more like that with all the different people coming through I’m in Issa now living on a farm lol hope to see you guys in January
Keep it up mate doing great where you are , things are going south back in the UK
Richie I’ve been watching both you guys for a while. I live in the Philippines but in Bangkok now
I love Paul’s laugh. 😂
Great stuff that is exactly what i want to cool
We all tend to look at other people and think their living stress free in western countries, yet really its not the case, its intresting to hear from other people and their reasons to relocate, thanks Richie for doing this type of video & Paul for sharing your past.
Good chat, my only thought was if Paul lives in a dimilar type of area to Kata Beach, ie touristy, when he is talking about his budgetting or if his overheads would be lower due to location.
Philippines hands down
Hi Richie another interesting video good job waiting for the next one, will
Pop in and see you when we come to Phuket in January all the best mate Robin from Nongbualamphu
You guys have a really nice coffee shop!
Thailand never been colonised or invaded in there history I know this reflexes in there ways.
Philippines more open minded more relaxed more welcoming.
paul a great talker. and a great man. cool paul.
Hey Richie, wow.. Paul sounds like Mickey Rourke.. haha. Serious question though, how are you getting your subtitles in your videos? I think subtitles are a great idea but don't know how to get subtitles recorded and synced with my video. Please advise.. and I love your videos!
I need to find a place where I can walk most of the time. I know I could do it in Thailand, but I can't seem to find out much about The Philippines. Many of the Thai vloggers do walking tours where you can see everything. When I was there, there were probably 10 places for breakfast within a couple of blocks. A 7-11 every block. Lots of other resources within a short walk. Unfortunately, the heat and humidity were too much for me.
cool video and interview....
Brilliant vlog
Good interview, it is pretty cheap traveling in Asia, you just stay seasonally in each country.
I've watched a lot of Paul's videos over the years. I was planning to go to the Phillipines, but Thailand opened up first, so here I live.
Oh boy bad choice Philippines defo 100%
I couldn't help thinking about the Ripper / Mandrake interactions in Dr. Strangelove as I watched this interview. Completely different personalities and humour types.
It's cheaper in Thailand. Rent for example in Bangkok vs Makati for something comparable in size, amenities, etc, shows you the evidence. I'm actually moving from Philippines to Thailand because it's still comparatively cheaper in Thailand. The reason I think is supply. Thailand is more developed and has more supply hence prices are cheaper.
New sub fr Paul's channel 👍
Brilliant
Hi Guys great video nice to see both having a chat, as you both know I’ve be following both of your channels for a long time. I had the pleasure of meeting Richie & Maybelle and had a few meals at the coffee shop. I think Richie thought I talked to much which surprise me hearing this ( Joke I am Irish ) as I say all the time be yourself don’t try to be anybody else or do what other people would like you to be unless your a complete asshole. Don’t change a good thing. Paul & I ( Irish Paul ) are exactly the same age so we be around and seen what life has to offer, I am so happy to see both of you finding nice ladies to be with who look out and care about you. Life a journey with ups and downs so make the most of it while you can and do a little planing for your old age because money does matter without life is very tuff but don’t make it your GOD.
Keep up the great work both of you Cheers Irish Paul
Yes Paul the cool old dog👍
lovely
I agree with Paul on the cost comparison between the two. I spent 3 months in each country earlier this year and found Thailand cheaper (my Filipina GF did as well) with far more bang for the buck. Infrastructure, transportation and the food wins hands down.
From my point of view, you have achieved the best possible combination - a Filipina for your GF or wife, and then live with her someplace else besides the Philippines. I tip my hat to you.
Philippines my spiritual home
Hi Ritchie, I enjoy all your videos along with Paul's, so it was nice seeing this collaboration. I agree with Paul having visited Pattaya Thailand for many years. The Thai immigration system is constantly changing the rules which can be extremely frustrating to someone who wants to plant roots and live in a country for many years. Also in Thailand they actually will throw you in jail or prison just for failing to report to immigration there every 2 months. That to me is crazy extreme and here in Mexico or the Philippines they wouldn't do that. Here in Mexico if you happen to overstay your FMM 6 month visa you would just pay a $40 dollar fine at the airport when you leave. The Thai government is being run for the past few years by a military junta and is also a monarchy. Many foreigners living or visiting there aren't even aware of that as well as the fact that they enforce the law of possibly being imprisoned for any criticism of the King or the Royal Family. It's not like living in the U.S. that's for sure.
