For long time living - retirement - I can’t deal with the language barrier in Thailand. It’s not just spoken - it’s all the forms and news etc all in Thai . I’m retired in Philippines in Cebu province and I love it. Although I am on social security receiving the max so money isn’t really an issue
I left Dumaguete Philippines for Hua Hin Thailand. My studio apartment in Dumaguete in your old crib was $425 I am paying $190 here but no pool or kitchen. I am less than ten minute walk to the beach. You can get a pretty decent place for $600
Bang for buck it's not even close. Thailand is hands down better. A $25 hotel a night in the PH's is a dirty, dirty sheets, no hot water, bare bones. The $25 hotel room in Thailand would be 5 star in the PH's. Food is way better in Thailand and cheaper. Vietnam would be the same better than the PH's. But what makes the PH's good is the 3 year tourist visa and the high use of English language. The reason the Filipino people are more friendly than Thai and Viet people is the fact they speak English. They can communicate so they're much more likely to strike up a conversation. If you don't speak the language it's basically impossible.
Thailand vs. Philippines is a long time debate. Most of the comments favoring Thailand point out the more modernity of the nation as a deciding factor. Generally, outside Makati, BGC, or Pasay of the NCR, the Philippines can be turn off for many.
The housing and food is better and cheaper in Thailand than the Philippines But I still like the gwapa ladies in Philippines and for conversation I am going to suggest that we go to Cambodia kampot or siemreap ankor wat area For her vacation she works at the hospital and hope it works Good video for Asia I think most most viewers like that you came back to Asia Florida has the temperature but the higher prices and one trip to Walmart look at the women will set you straight
hi pual i see your views are going down now. Its hard to be a channel on the PH'S when you don't live there. I aso see you are making videos from the same room but claim to be moving around?. I think this channel will completely bomb soon if you dont find a new country to live in but then of coarse most people watch you because they like the PH'S.
Yeah bought a 71sq meters 100 yards to beach Jomteim with views of the sea and islands from my bedroom, living room etc. beautiful. 250k usd Tons of restaurants, 2 hours from Bangkok, food carts everywhere, golf etc. quality food and quality. Thai food way way above Philippines food which in most cases is so so. Cheaper and much easier to live in Thailand
Of all of the places to live in the land of smiles why the "armpit" of Thailand? Raw sewage is regularly released into the waters off of Jomtein. The Andaman is so much cleaner. To each their own.
Paul, as much as I like you and your channel (I would actually like to spend some time one on one with you if you know what I mean!!!), this Thailand v Philippines debate has been done a gazillion times over. Also, you are going to have to get out and about as watching you sitting in front of a window is getting very boring. I feel your channel is slipping!!!
Last one of these philippines vs thailand videos i saw had tons of video from both and was way more thoughtful. I think Nate from expat lifestyle did this subject way better. Ill still be watching though...
Thailand or PH, I’m always keeping climate change top of mind. With all of the extreme weather the world will be experiencing I’m staying away from beachfront & flood sensitive areas. I’m about 65 now and if weather events get more and more severe I’m not interested in starting all over at 80yrs old, if you get what I mean
Dear , let me save your time on searching, Philippines 🇵🇭 is the last in the list , nothing is working in philipinese, starting from bad food to bad pollution , very very bad and slow internet which doesn’t exist in most islands and end up in crisis healthcare system which guaranteed will bankrupt you if you get sick in Philippines 🇵🇭, the only point for Philippines 🇵🇭 is the friendly people , I am talking from experience since I lived there and I use to have Filipina girlfriend.
With the 🇵🇭 -much easier to get an attractive Flipina-you need game-coin for the same Thai lady-mainly because almost double the population and the 🇵🇭 is so poor! Most older men in 🇹🇭 have much older Thais-unless the short timers however you need 💰 every day to keep her!
Hands-down Thailand, the way to go, Philippines supposedly English blah blah but wine. Their English is out of grade score camp handle in death conversations, Thailand is much more infrastructure, transportation, banking, credit card, usage, etc., etc. etc. you’re going to retire Thailand, the place to be.

Comparing the two countries seems silly, as anyone who has lived in both objectively knows which is superior.
Do a walk around - voice over, so we get the same info, but change of scenery. Take care and good luck.
Ok thanks!
I'm in the Philippines but we have all the western amenities like America where I live. As Paul knows, you get what you pay for here.😂
Filipino food seems bland dark appearance heavily salted, whereas Thai & Viet food pops with vibrant colors and taste of healthy impressions!
I agree
Haha! Isn’t the guy in the video blacklisted from both? 🎉🎉🎉
Yes been jailed and kicked out both counties he's a real piece of work
For What ?
Yep yep
Does that mean he doesn't know anything about those countries?
At least he has been there unlike some RUclipsrs. Just googling s***

So true, thanks
I just saw nate from expat lifestyle compare the two. Seems like you brought up a few of the things he mentioned.
Good video Paul.
I was one of the non clickers on Orlando. The name conjured up the thought of being dragged to Disney ( AGAIN ! ) 😂

True
I'm going to check them both out...😮🎉

But I still like the gwapa ladies in Philippines and for conversation
I am going to suggest that we go to Cambodia kampot or siemreap ankor wat area
For her vacation she works at the hospital and hope it works
Good video for Asia I think most most viewers like that you came back to Asia

Omg dude you won’t live long enough to worry about this climate change

How about a Philippines versus Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia. and Laos videos?

@@easygoing4769 Thanks 😊
going try vietnam out applying for my 90 day visa
But then what , not easy to stay there for year/years , I lived there for 3
No real comparison.. Thailand
If you get tied up with a Filipina it often screws up the opportunity of Thailand.
Agreed

You need money everyday to keep an American woman also

Harder to tell if it’s a boy or girl in Thailand. That’s a down side lol
Depends if you like both 😅
