    KEY MOMENTS
    Part 1: Shot from Osaka
    Seven reasons Japan could be attractive as an expat ⬅️
    00:33 Japan is cheap thanks to a weak yen
    01:01 Poilte and safe
    02:01 Everything is clean and orderly
    03:05 Professional sports and the spectator experience
    03:56 Interview with Manu from Thailand at Moto Coffee
    04:50 Matcha at Moto Coffee
    05:18 Environmental factors
    06:02 Pedestrian and bicycle friendliness
    07:02 The grocery store, Japanese food, and tropical fruit
    Part 2: Shot from Bangkok
    10 reasons why Thailand beats Japan for expat life (in ascending order) ⬅️
    08:59 BANGKOK
    Reason 10
    09:14 Tropical fruit
    Reason 9
    09:35 Grab bike and 'sabai sabai'
    Reason 8
    10:25 Better interpersonal skills
    Reason 7
    11:01 Thais speak better English than Japanese
    Reason 6
    12:40 Fewer xenophobes and Thais are more welcoming and less homogenous than Japanese. Thailand is more welcoming.
    Reason 5
    13:48 Better expat housing options.
    Reason 4
    14:59 Healthcare
    Reason 3
    16:25 Healthy living and fitness lifestyle options
    Reason 2
    17:58 "Ease" and fewer friction points living in Thailand as an expat than Japan.
    Reason 1
    19:26 Mental and emotional health
    Interview with Japanese living in Thailand:
    22:10 Taku
    25:03 ‪@nampla.brother‬ and Ayaka
    26:27 Yuki
    Starting in Japan, I highlight several appealing aspects: the weak yen makes living costs cheaper, the safety and politeness of the people are unparalleled, the public transportation is incredibly efficient, and the environment is impeccably clean and orderly.
    Transitioning to Bangkok, I list ten reasons why Thailand beats Japan for expat life. These include Thailand's more relaxed and less rigid lifestyle, the friendliness and familiarity of locals with foreigners, better English proficiency, and ease of settling in with various visa options; and joyful atmosphere in Thailand, which contrasts with the perceived sadness and economic struggles in Japan.
    Other advantages are the more affordable and accessible healthcare, plentiful fitness options, and the overall convenience of daily life.
    Thailand is the best choice for mental health and emotional well-being.
    While Japan is a great place to visit, Thailand offers a superior quality of life and emotional well-being for expats.

    For this video I shot it from Osaka and Bangkok. When traveling to other countries, it always validates why I love Thailand the best. It comes down to quality of life and warm-heartedness, and how a place makes me 'feel'. I feel best in Thailand. Question for you: where is it in the world that you 'feel' best?

      I am Thai. and I really hate the word "Sabai Sabai". Yes, the meaning of this word is good and in positive ways but it can ruin our discipline. When the discipline is gone the problems will be overwhelming to Thailand or wherever there is no discipline.. So the word " Sabai Sabai" is the enemy of Thailand's discipline which protects our countries from ridiculous problems. I hope you realize my point and what I am trying to make you understand.

    - I once told my professor, (a Russian who studied, worked, and had lived in Japan for a long time) that Japanese is kind. He immediately responded, "Japanese are very polite but not necessarily kind". So, it is nice to hear you pointed out 00:19:36 the differences between kindness and politeness because many people misperceive that politeness has to come from kindness, but that is not always the case.
    - Many people see Japan as a collective society similar to Thailand, but that is not true at all. By nature, Japanese are very individualistic (this is polar opposite to the Thais), but they are forced to live together in the collective society by rules, maybe due to the harsh weather conditions, natural disasters and wars. This explains why in the interview 00:25:46 he feel more human connections in Thailand than in Japan even though waitress/waiter are also welcoming in both countries. (actually, waitress/waiter smile even more in Japan because they follow the rules and practices, but in Thailand people are more genuine about their feelings, if they smile, it means they are happy, if they look grumpy, it means they are in a bad mood, but surely the expressions will not be as obvious as the westerners)
    - Finally, if you ask Thais which country they want Thailand to become, 90% of the people will say Japan. Thais adore the Japanese so much especially about cleanliness, work ethic, orderliness, and politeness.

    • @PhilipJames360
      @PhilipJames360  3 месяца назад +10

      Interesting to hear your professor said the same, about the difference between polite vs. kind. The thing that you mention about collective seems true. In Japan the 'collectiveness' is different from Thailand, it feels more forced in Japan, less 'together'. Whereas, in Thailand it feels the opposite and more natural.
      I wonder how much of Thai admiration is due partly to being naive to the realities of Japanese 'cold' and less joyful culture.

      ​@@PhilipJames360 Many people realize the negative side of Japanese society, especially the young, and surely, they don't appreciate that part. Idealistically, Thais want the cities to be more clean, more organized, and the people to be more obeyed to the laws, and more responsible to the public. Ironically, the main obstacles of all these is the sabai sabai mentality. Sabai sabai could stand for happiness in buddhist sense or the term associated with laziness, irresponsibility. A japanese youtuber who have lived in Thailand for so long once said, adopting pros of japanese values with the thai values will create the most perfect human.

      I am Thai and what you said is so true. I guested it's the orderly, cleanliness and the communal responsibility of the Japanese society we admired so much. Maybe in a sense, we feel that those are the kind of things far fetch for our society to be able to achieve. when I learned how Japanese teaches children in kindergarten, I was astounded. The amount of discipline and responsibility ingrained into every school activity is crazy. Sabai sabai is a thing in the Thai genes. I admired Japan very much BUT I would never live there just for the very same reason this video mentioned. I think many Thai especially the new generation do not realized how lucky they are, to inherit an exceptional cultural traditions and religion for which played a vital role how the Thai society are shaped into. We have a society of acceptance and not tolerance, thus making it more natural as a collective community. Not perfect by any means but much acceptable for everyone.

    100% true, not only Japan, Thailand beats every country on planet earth, while most western countries are drowning in debt with people queuing to rent unaffordable apartments and rising cost of living, Thailand is as affordable as it was a decade ago.
    Thai's also do not take BS in their life, if they do not like something they just quit, slavery isn't in their genes, they keep stress to a minimum, which is why they are so happy, polite and kind aka lack of corporate slavery like in Japan & west which sucks your soul for few pennies.

    For Thai people, Japan is the older brother that Thailand tries to follow.
    We try to follow in the footsteps of Japan even though our country is only a 3rd world country.
    But we will not abandon our old habits. fun-lovingness
    It is a simple and uncomplicated nation. We are a people who live a simple and friendly life.
    Japan has an advantage in that it is a serious country. and set goals
    As for Thais, they have simple, laid-back personalities.
    Like siblings who have different personalities.
    Each person has different advantages.

    I find that like comment here. Japan is what happen if Thailand put their people into serious mode. It good place if you like travel to city and live like a City people perfect City suppose to be. While, Thailand are more of slider from City life at Bangkok to Villager kind and cheerful life. Chang mai still between City and Villager life meanwhile bottom of Thailand are Fisherman villager life. Japan do offer this but it is very hard to get into when local are seeing you like alien because they can not communicate with you. While Thailand as sabai sabai. They can not speak English but they will help you and get to know you too.

    It also depends on the preference. If you like to be alone and love being by yourself, a nice area in rural Japan would be best. On the opposite side, if you want warmth from other people and acceptance, Thailand and many other asian countries are receptive and appreciate foreigners who want to know about their culture.

    In the past 2-3 years I feel that Thai people can communicate better in English.

    I'm Thai. Since young age, I always adore Japanese orderly and cleanliness etc. like any other common Thais growing up with Japanese media. When I first travel to Japan everything seems pretty as expected. But when look hard enough, I really feel stress in the air and it's heavy. That's make me don't even want to work in Japanese company in Thailand lol.
    Japan is still top on my travel bucket list. Very very nice for traveler.

      Yes, exactly what you say! The air is 'heavy' in Japan. I would never want to work for a Japanese company.
      But like you say, it is a nice country to be a tourist.

    คนไทยต้อนรับชาวต่างชาติทั่วโลกเหมือนเพื่อน แต่สำหรับคนญี่ปุ่น คนไทยจะชื่นชอบเพิ่มขึ้นไปเป็นพิเศษ เพราะไทยกับญี่ปุ่นเรามีสัมพันธ์ที่แนบแน่นกันมานานแล้ว😊

      ความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างไทยกับญี่ปุ่น จริงๆน่าจะเรียกว่าเป็นการสมประโยชน์ด้วยกันทั้งสองฝ่ายมากกว่า สมัยสงครามโลกครั้งที่สอง ญี่ปุ่นจะขยี้ไทยแล้วบังคับแล้วให้ไทยอยู่ภายใต้อำนาจของญี่ปุ่นเลยก็ได้ แต่พอพูดคุยตกลงกันได้ญี่ปุ่นก็ไม่ต้องเสียกำลังพล คนไทยก็ไม่ต้องบาดเจ็บล้มตาย ไม่ใช่เพราะญี่ปุ่นชอบพออะไรกับไทยเป็นพิเศษ ในยุคหลังต่อมา การที่ญี่ปุ่นเข้ามาลงทุนในไทยนั้นก็เพราะด้วยค่าแรงที่ต่ำกว่า ตำแหน่งก็อยู่ในที่ตั้งทางภูมิศาสตร์ที่ดี สามารถอาศัยไทยใช้เป็นฐานการผลิตเพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงการกีดกันสินค้าบางอย่างจากตะวันตก และส่งออกไปประเทศต่างๆซึ่งก็คงอยู่มาหลายสิบปี ต่างฝ่ายต่างเรียนรู้กันและกัน ญี่ปุ่นรู้จักนิสัยคนไทยดี จึงสามารถผลิตสินค้าออกมาได้ตรงตามความต้องการของคนไทย กลายมาเป็นคู่ค้ากันมาอย่างยาวนาน ในขณะที่ไทยเองก็ได้รับความรู้ในเรื่องการผลิตและเทคโนโลยีหลายๆด้านมาจากญี่ปุ่น รวมถึงมีการรับเอาค่านิยมบางอย่างจากญี่ปุ่นมาด้วย ความเป็นระเบียบของผู้คนในสังคมไทยย้อนไป 30 - 40 ปีก่อนแย่กว่านี้มาก แต่สมัยนี้การต่อแถวเข้าคิวกลายเป็นเรื่องปกติอย่างนึงในสังคมไปแล้ว การไม่พูดคุยกันของคนไทยในรถไฟฟ้า ส่วนนึงก็เป็นการรับเอาค่านิยมจากญี่ปุ่น สำหรับญี่ปุ่น ไทยอาจไม่ใช่เพื่อนสนิทที่ทัดเทียม แต่ก็เป็นคู่ค้าที่คบหากันมานาน

    • @PhilipJames360
      @PhilipJames360  3 месяца назад

      Sean, the football scene maybe was Phuket.
      There are a lot of leagues and pickup games in the south. Bangkok has a good community too, but my experience is Phuket is better for health, fitness, nature, and football.

    Japanese women will never ask you for money, and you have a ZERO chance of getting your items stolen while you're sleeping or awake. If you lose your wallet full of cash the odds are that it's waiting for you at the nearest police station as well. You cannot be broke and live here so if you're on a budget then Thailand is a much better option.
    You CAN OWN LAND here, I own Commercial Property so it can be done easily.. You can buy whatever you want but don't expect Japanese bank loans. You can own, homes, apartments, land and businesses without issues and you will never get scammed with leasing or rental agents as you hear about in Thailand.

      Big plus for Japan. I've got experience in both countries. It's way easier to find a girlfriend (an actual one, not a prostitute spending time with you for money) in Japan. Someone who actually likes you, doesn't ask for money, makes their own money, is educated and intelligent. That's common in Japan but very uncommon in Thailand.

    The money system is broken and in some countries like Japan this is more obvious than in others, And all the surveillance from government just make people sad and sick

    ประเทศไทยก็เหมือนผู้หญิงเป็นคนที่ไม่ได้สวยมาก แต่เป็นคนมีเสน่ห์ครบเครื่อง ส่วนประเทศญี่ปุ่นเป็นผู้หญิงที่สวยมากสะอาดมากขาวมากแต่ทำอาหารไม่เป็น ชอบบ่นชอบด่า😂😅😆

    • @imfine-ok1536
      @imfine-ok1536 3 месяца назад

      ฉันคิดว่าในสายตาของคนส่วนใหญ่ในโลก ผู้หญิงไทยถูกมองว่ามีเสน่ห์มากกว่าทั้งทางร่างกายและจิตใจ. แน่นอนว่ามีสาเหตุหลายประการที่ทำให้บางประเทศถูกมองว่าดีกว่า ความงามของผู้คนก็เป็นหนึ่งในเหตุผลเหล่านั้น.

    I am Thai. and I really hate the word "Sabai Sabai". Yes, the meaning of this word is good and in positive ways but it can ruin our discipline. When the discipline is gone the problems will be overwhelming to Thailand or wherever there is no discipline.. So the word " Sabai Sabai" is the enemy of Thailand's discipline which protects our countries from ridiculous problems. I hope you realize my point and what I am trying to make you understand.

    • @PhilipJames360
      @PhilipJames360  25 дней назад

      Yep! So true. Related to the problem of 'Sabai Sabai' is it can sometime appear like apathy, which is not good at all.
      Thank you for your comment.
