JJ when I saw title... Two loves in different countries, I had to watch. Then, I realised it wasn’t what I thought. 😉 Your videos are excellent, well researched, and loaded with facts.
Hi JJ, I like your idea of having Bangkok as the home base then travelling to the other countries. I'm assuming that you just use tourist visas while doing this? Is Thailand a 2-month visa or did they change it to 3 months?
@@NoMortgageNomad yes its 2 month, plus a 1 month extension. Right now I'm on a tourist, but I'll be looking at getting a more permanent visa when I return from Vietnam.
@@thaidawg9231 True Digital Park is a nice mall. It's at the Punnawithi BTS Station. I haven't looked around the area, but I read that Punnawithi is the new hot spot in Bangkok. I'll have to do a video and check it out. Thanks for watching.
Love both countries both are beautiful on differewant ways. Hopping to South East Asian countries is really enjoyable. Home of the most unique cultures in the world.
Expats talk trash about the Philippines compared to Thailand but the actual reason is Thailand is less expensive compared to the Philippines. If it becomes expensive, the bashing would stop, 100 percent. Can you believe this man said that Thailand has 100 bubbles like BGC? What a bunch of baloney. Thailand was just a slum area in the 70s while in the Philippines in the same era, it has Makati and Araneta already. 😊
There are many foreigners, including Filipinos, who have moved to live in Thailand. Everyone is happy and not stressed because everything is so convenient, and Thailand is a Buddhist country with very few thieves and robbers. There are many tourist attractions, and in Bangkok, it's incredibly modern-almost cutting edge. The skywalks are all connected. I remember that a Philippine news channel once did a news feature on transportation in Thailand. You can look up information to see just how many Filipinos have moved to Thailand
@@JJthelonelybullinasia I mean, they are just starting to develop and as you can see, the wires in the streets are still hanging. As we speak, there are DOZENS of BGC-like developments in Manila rising already and more to come in the bay area. You know, I watch MANY Bangkok vlogs and guess what? It's only the train system that's admirable if you don't have cars like the expats, but overall, I really don't like elevated trains because they are ugly and ruin the aesthetic of the place. That's the big reason, the Ayalas don't want Makati or BGC to have elevated trains. 😊
@@tkpctt2001 didn't I said it clear enough. Bangkok is NOT EXPENSIVE that's why the expats love it. If it becomes expensive, there is really no reason to stay. I mean why would they eat street food if they are expensive? They rather eat in decent restaurants. 😊
Thailand is way better. Better infrastructure better food Better accommodation Beautiful friendly people. About 30 percent cheaper than Philippines All Philippines has is better English 😂
As much as I like BGC I find it to be confining. There is too much of the Manila urban congestion in it's proximity. Makati has some nice areas but it suffers from that same bubble feeling. I go to Mall of Asia to get away from it all. I would never drive a car in The Philippines. Grab is convenient and a bargain.
@@thaidawg9231 is not the same level as in Manila and BGC, but in most of the retail stores, restaurants, or bars the employees all speak English well enough to get by. But outside the major areas English is not as prevalent. Many of the signs and menus are also in English, so that helps. For instance, you can view the train maps in English.
I recently visited Thailand, specifically Bangkok and Pattaya, but instead of relaxing, I found myself feeling stressed due to the language barrier. I preferred Bonifacio Global City (BGC), even with its crowds. It's a walkable area, although the food options can vary. I enjoy Thai food; I’m from Long Beach, where there’s a Thai restaurant within 10 miles. However, it’s important to be cautious about hidden sugars, triglycerides, and MSG in the dishes.
@@angelocalima6338 yeah BGC is great. I love Bangkok, not for the red light areas, but for the rest of the areas, the real Thai food, the friendly people, and everything else. Not a fan of Pattaya.

For some reason, I'm loving the fact that the Philippines is getting expensive for foreigners to move in. Before I get a little affected when the country is bashed online...Now, I'm actually enjoying it! If thats the way to keep them away, so be it... Its better that way! 😂🎉🎉🎉
@JJthelonelybullinasia and we have known the true nature of foreigners who come OUR country much earlier. I think we're wiser than most of you then. 🤗🤟 You should be happy now that you're away from the PH, and we're very happy that youre happy. 😇

@@politicfrog I love each countries cultures. Thanks for watching.
Are there local, maybe outdoor, fruit and vegetable markets in BGC ?
@thaidawg9231 outside of the Ayala Mall is Market Market. But if you go outside of BGC in Guadalupe and other places near by there are other markets.
