Too many retirees in Mexico. Price has been going up. This is very noticeable in medical care. Mexicans have realized that they can jack up hospital prices and expats will still pay up!
I have an index that is very important to me, but wasn't mentioned. The Asian women index. If thats a valuable index to potential expats, then thailand gets the win.
Thank you for your comment. For those who know Mexico City first hand, they say the same like you. It is definitely in the top 5 of my favorite cities in the world.
I lived in Mexico 3 years and Thailand 3 years. I love Thailand for ease and safety. The food is amazing, friendly ppl and beautiful landscapes. I would love Thailand more if they would offer better visa options for long term visitor's. Its such a hassle and racket with their immigration. Mexico gives you 180 days visa free which is so easy and stress free. Its easy to qualify for a 4 yr temporary visa and you can get permanent residency. Thailand makes it hard to get permanent residency. Mexico is getting very expensive now but I plan to retire there
What you say is true, I have considered Oaxaca and CDMX for 3 months out of the year. I am fluent in Spanish which makes Mexico even more attractive to me.
Thailand is super easy to get a long term visa. You just have to pay for it. It’s like $3k/ year for a business visa. $30k/ for a 5 year elite visa so $6k/ year. Or just marry a Thai girl and it’s $30/yr for a marriage visa. You just don’t know the right people. Search harder.
Nicely done! For a long time the massive population of CDMX kept me away. A couple years ago I decided to rip the band aid and fell in love with CDMX. I am a runner and thus felt at home in Condesa. Thanks for showing the cost of a haircut and laundry. I have a barber in GDL that charges about 150 MXN. I am definitly looking forward to returning and meeting up with the local running groups. Enjoy your stay!

@@manuelvikingo7767 Shutup that fearmonger bullshit there are more foreigners than tourist here in Roma and Polanco, Mexico city. It is completly safe in these neighborhoods.
Its Thailand vs rest of the world now. Perhaps a decade or two back, it made some sense to compare Thailand vs Philippines, US, UK, Mexico etc, however, Thailand has moved so far ahead in all metrics leaving rest of the world in dust. Thailand keep building more condos, so no increase in rental even if a million digital nomads move there, internet is already 5G, infrastructure is world class, cheap food, transportation, great culture, good service, nightlife, beach, its all there plus low crime. Thailand is doing everything right while rest of the world is going in reverse.
it's too generalized of a statement..I think a person's taste would have to be taken into account..both offer great food and beaches but for me, MX would be more desireable to live in...
There is no doubt Thailand is a great place. Cheapppp, nice people, good food. However one huge drawback IMO is the weather. Super hot and humid. Mexico city has 70-80f weather year round. Closer to US just to name a few of the many pros.

Solid video! This is an AND decision for me, not an OR decision. Bangkok and CDMX are some of the best cities in the world. The only problem is that they're almost exactly 1/2 way around the world from each other. But if you can afford it, have a home base in both places.
Wayne, I agree with you 100%. For those who spend time in both cities, they feel somewhat similar, as strange as that sounds. Although a world apart, both have great food, cultural richness, excellent explorability, warm-hearted people, and perfect hubs for hopping around each country.

Dog walker you interviewed had an Airedale...Dont see many of those...Thats what i have...i am looking to move to CDMX within the next month or so...Love that city....The vibe and super dog friendly ...I also want to go and check out Medellin and see how it compares.
For me, I prefer Mexico City over Medellin. It has more to offer in regard to museums, food, parks, sophistication, and culture. Not the case for all parts of Mexico City, but the right areas are safer compared to Medellin. Curious to hear which you choose.
@@PhilipJames360 one of the reasons I am thinking Medellin is it seems business networking is pretty strong there.Also making friends.Not sure how to find that in CDMX
I noticed the Airedale too! I used to have one, they are my favourite dog. I live in Costa Rica now and have only seen one Airedale here. Did you end up moving to CDMX?
I loved dogs UNTIL I moved to Mexico lol. Doesn't the endless barking dogs annoy you? It almost pushed me over the edge in my last place that was like an open-air dog pound in every direction, constant barking day and night.
@@pacocandano That's called "freedom." And anyone who doesn't like freedom should stay in the United States or go to Thailand. We don't want those people who complain about everything in Mexico. But welcome to all those who seek freedom of expression in every sense, welcome to all those who like noisy fireworks, patron saint festivals, family parties, barking dogs and everything that means true expression and freedom of being a human being.
Been to CDMX for a week with some friends a few years ago, had a blast. I always find it funny that these videos never have the "México is so dangerous, I'd never set foot in it" commenters. They're always over on the crime videos. Smh
@@PhilipJames360 that's a very specific set of cities in the US, I've found the critical comments about Mexico come from Americans from all walks of life. You only watch crime videos on Mexico you're going to think all of Mexico is a warzone 24/7, that was more my point. The way people talk about the country, most likely those who've never been, you'd think every street was dusty and people were running for cover every time they step outside their door.
I haven't been to Thailand in ages, but Mexico is much much more expensive than Thailand. Espcially the nice neiggborhoods in Mexico City has gone up massively in value. And then there is safety. In Thailand I could always be anywhere at any time.
@@Molloy1951 I haven't been to BKK for a while, but I cannot imagine it having gotten more expensive than Mexico City.

This is a message from a mexican guy. If you want to come and live in México learn to speak spanish, get into mexican culture and talk with local people. Don't be like other arrogant americans that doesn't want to speak spanish and are rude with local people. And try to not gentrify.
How is work situation in Mexico city? We would very much appreciate some information. I am a nurse working in a hospital. I guess I could work anywhere. My friend is a therapist. Can he work as a therapist for psychology in Mexico city? Could you tell about healthcare system in Mexico? We think about one year work and travel in Mexico. We can't afford to save up and just travel. We need to work. Mexico is so amazing we started Spanish lessons recently.
I agree with rude and arrogant people that go to other places and are not respectful. However, as far as gentrification that is happening everywhere, even in the United States, which is why people are leaving to explore other countries for a better life the same way that people from Central, South America, even from Asian countries went to the United States for a better life. Anytime there’s a war or global conflict, or governmental issues there will always be immigration !Many of them stay in enclaves segregate with their own people, found it difficult to learn the language and trust me as an immigrant here to Mexico I often get shy and insecure about fitting in, especially with light hair, skin and eyes. I’m from Texas originally so it’s not as difficult to say someone from Canada or northern USA However, I don’t live in Mexico City. It did start out living in Playa del Carmen for almost 2 years and grew very tired of being around other Expats and a tourist trap where I was always treated as a tourist although I have my legal residency here. That doesn’t bother me too much because it’s easy to make assumptions as you are doing here. I now live in Pachuca, 1 hour north of CDMX where I have lived for one happy year as a single lady and I have not met one other American or Canadian. I love it and although I will probably never fit in no matter how great my Spanish gets, my neighbors and the people in the town have grown to recognize me support me in my decision to be here and are very kind. On that note, I do make an effort to practice my Spanish every day and I’m just in love with the way of life here. I went back to the USA in January to visit friends and was gone for three miserable weeks. Everyone seems so sad stressed out angry. It’s not colorful. It just seemed so gray and nothing but fast food places and shopping malls. The only major culture is football. I could not wait to get back to my home here in Pachuca. I would be so sad if I ever had to move back to USA.
@@doroparker1702 if you work and have experience being a nurse or therapist i think you easily get a job here. About healtcare system, if we talk about public system, sometimes it can be very weak and doesn't help much, so people who can do it better pay private medical centers.
I would also not take it personally if someone can’t speak Spanish. It takes a lot of time to learn a new language, especially when you’re older and have multiple freelance jobs and hardly any time. I know it’s difficult for me. I’m just shy to speak Spanish bc I think I sound stupid. Sometimes people are shy and the easiest way to get over that is to ignore people. I would not take it personally at all. Americans all wish they could speak Spanish. They’re mostly just embarrassed that they can’t and as a result they may come across as rude but that is not the intent.
There's a lot to unpack here. Gentrification is happening all over the world due to investors. Those are the ones that buy up real estate and then raise prices. And there are so many Mexicans in the US that don't learn English that it's a bit hypocritical to ask others to learn Spanish. I agree that you should learn Spanish, but learning a language is not as easy as you think
LOL! How a person can try to compare Mexico and Thailand? COMPLETELY OPPOSITE DIFFERENT cultures !!! I lived in both of them for more than 1 year, i like both, but it's impossible and non-sense to compare eachother.
I would love to go to Mexico and Brazil, but i hear a lot about safety concerns. I know you said you feel safe there, but what about all the reports of robberies and the Cartels? The government corruption and that in there police force. I have talked with people who have vacationed there that say be careful with taxis, with walking out at night, and possibly getting lots on certain neighborhoods. Are you sure its as safe as you think? Im really curious because those would be great places to go.
Ramon, the distiction between *immigrant and *expat/digital nomad maybe: "immigrants" flee their land for opportunity and to make income from the country they go to. Often, they cannot return to their home country, such as Chinese attempting to immigrate into the U.S. through Mexico. Often, China will not accept them return of the U.S. does not grant them a visa. "Expats or digital nomads" leave their home country for "quality of life" or a unique experience that they cannot find in their country, but they can return anytime. They do not rely or need the new country for income. A form of extended tourism. The latter is the case for me.
@@PhilipJames360 yes, but the thing is, you come here because with your salary (or pension) in your country, you would be homeless or barely living on the minimum, while here you can live it up, making everything more expensive for Mexicans and displacing them.
Kristofer, I agree. And the safety of Thailand has become a big reason to call it 'home' for me. It is nice to not have to worry about crime or random violence like we see in the U.S. and varying degrees in LATAM

These foreign people, only showing the nice parts of the city like roma, condesa and Polanco, the most gentrified neighbourhoods of all the country. But they never set foot outside those neighbourhoods 😹😹, because of course, insecurity is more present. You don't seem to be showing the real side of Mexico City... Like Iztapalapa, and others... And of course, Mexico State (Estado de México) is the most forgotten part by foreigners, literally it amazes me how there is literally NO FOREIGNERS here, because Estado de México is indeed, the place you get to see in news, very dangerous at any hour, with horrific traffic, horrific public transport, horrific arquitecture and urbanization. But ofc, you wont be going to ugly places don't you?. Just wanted to tell you that this city has a huge breach of inequality
todas las ciudades en el mundo tienen sus lugares feos ,peligrosos y menos turísticos. si es que realmente eres "mexicano" deberías de estar contento que se muestre los lugares bonitos de México. te noto muy recentido,¿no serás sudamericano?
@@azrael3137 Soy del estado de México, entonces tienes que dejar de generalizar. El problema con la zona metropolitana es grave, y estoy harto de la desigualdad que se vive aquí. No, no estoy contento que se muestre solo las zonas bonitas porque dan una falsa idea de lo que es la ciudad. Cómo mexicano quiero hacer visible todo los problemas que tenemos para que se solucionen lo más pronto posible, porque la realidad es que ni más del 80% de la población vive en las condiciones de vida como en Roma, condesa y Polanco.

On that note, I do make an effort to practice my Spanish every day and I’m just in love with the way of life here. I went back to the USA in January to visit friends and was gone for three miserable weeks. Everyone seems so sad stressed out angry. It’s not colorful. It just seemed so gray and nothing but fast food places and shopping malls. The only major culture is football. I could not wait to get back to my home here in Pachuca. I would be so sad if I ever had to move back to USA.
@@doroparker1702 if you work and have experience being a nurse or therapist i think you easily get a job here. About healtcare system, if we talk about public system, sometimes it can be very weak and doesn't help much, so people who can do it better pay private medical centers.
I would also not take it personally if someone can’t speak Spanish. It takes a lot of time to learn a new language, especially when you’re older and have multiple freelance jobs and hardly any time. I know it’s difficult for me. I’m just shy to speak Spanish bc I think I sound stupid. Sometimes people are shy and the easiest way to get over that is to ignore people. I would not take it personally at all. Americans all wish they could speak Spanish. They’re mostly just embarrassed that they can’t and as a result they may come across as rude but that is not the intent.
There's a lot to unpack here. Gentrification is happening all over the world due to investors. Those are the ones that buy up real estate and then raise prices. And there are so many Mexicans in the US that don't learn English that it's a bit hypocritical to ask others to learn Spanish. I agree that you should learn Spanish, but learning a language is not as easy as you think
LOL! How a person can try to compare Mexico and Thailand? COMPLETELY OPPOSITE DIFFERENT cultures !!! I lived in both of them for more than 1 year, i like both, but it's impossible and non-sense to compare eachother.
Thailand is better, please everyone go to Thailand, no more retirees in México.😁
I would love to go to Mexico and Brazil, but i hear a lot about safety concerns. I know you said you feel safe there, but what about all the reports of robberies and the Cartels? The government corruption and that in there police force. I have talked with people who have vacationed there that say be careful with taxis, with walking out at night, and possibly getting lots on certain neighborhoods. Are you sure its as safe as you think? Im really curious because those would be great places to go.
no comes carne - good call bro
Condesa, Roma, Polanco isn't Mexico is a US, CANADIAN, etc, spot, people that can afford to live there, and have spoiled the place.
Aliens, asi se les dice...
Immigrant life*
Ramon, the distiction between *immigrant and *expat/digital nomad maybe: "immigrants" flee their land for opportunity and to make income from the country they go to. Often, they cannot return to their home country, such as Chinese attempting to immigrate into the U.S. through Mexico. Often, China will not accept them return of the U.S. does not grant them a visa.
"Expats or digital nomads" leave their home country for "quality of life" or a unique experience that they cannot find in their country, but they can return anytime. They do not rely or need the new country for income. A form of extended tourism. The latter is the case for me.
@@PhilipJames360 yes, but the thing is, you come here because with your salary (or pension) in your country, you would be homeless or barely living on the minimum, while here you can live it up, making everything more expensive for Mexicans and displacing them.
Love CDMX but more dangerous and def much more expensive
Kristofer, I agree. And the safety of Thailand has become a big reason to call it 'home' for me. It is nice to not have to worry about crime or random violence like we see in the U.S. and varying degrees in LATAM
😂 Chicago new York California exe exe more dangerous than mexico city
Ciudad de México en general es seguro,hay zonas inseguras como todo el mundo.

Shhh, they feel special and different from us. Don't burst their bubble
Condesa is not the most elegant nor trendy neighborhood in Mexico City!
These foreign people, only showing the nice parts of the city like roma, condesa and Polanco, the most gentrified neighbourhoods of all the country. But they never set foot outside those neighbourhoods 😹😹, because of course, insecurity is more present. You don't seem to be showing the real side of Mexico City... Like Iztapalapa, and others...
And of course, Mexico State (Estado de México) is the most forgotten part by foreigners, literally it amazes me how there is literally NO FOREIGNERS here, because Estado de México is indeed, the place you get to see in news, very dangerous at any hour, with horrific traffic, horrific public transport, horrific arquitecture and urbanization. But ofc, you wont be going to ugly places don't you?. Just wanted to tell you that this city has a huge breach of inequality
todas las ciudades en el mundo tienen sus lugares feos ,peligrosos y menos turísticos. si es que realmente eres "mexicano" deberías de estar contento que se muestre los lugares bonitos de México. te noto muy recentido,¿no serás sudamericano?
@@azrael3137 Soy del estado de México, entonces tienes que dejar de generalizar. El problema con la zona metropolitana es grave, y estoy harto de la desigualdad que se vive aquí. No, no estoy contento que se muestre solo las zonas bonitas porque dan una falsa idea de lo que es la ciudad. Cómo mexicano quiero hacer visible todo los problemas que tenemos para que se solucionen lo más pronto posible, porque la realidad es que ni más del 80% de la población vive en las condiciones de vida como en Roma, condesa y Polanco.

Are you getting gentrified?
@@peanutnukle I think so🤔 but this is not the problem, the problem is that some retirees do not like the Mexican culture because we are very noisy, we party celebrating everything, and we really like loud music. I think some Mexican places are not for them due to this.
Nobody cares ur opinion
