- THIS IS WHY I Chose The PHILIPPINES OVER THAILAND
Before I moved to the Philippines I was leading more towards Thailand. I explain why it would have made sense for me to move there instead of the Philippines.

I got my health back in the Philippines. In the USA I was stressed out, overworked and single. Now I am married, eat like a king and have a slower lifestyle. It was the right choice for me.
Every time I vacation in the Philippines, it's so relaxing. People say, well duh, you're on vacation. But that's only it. The people there are so relaxed, happy, yet they don't have much. Here in the states, it's a lot different, more stressful.
Word!
rise brother.

I like Thailand but Philippine women are so much more beautiful for me.
I'm glad you convinced me to stay in Philippines and that's going to be my retirement destination.
That's a good question: What do you want? Each place has something different to offer. For me I am tired of the rat race in the US. That's why I chose the Philippines. Others may disagree and that's ok. To each his own.
Exactly
I haven't really spent time in Thailand, but spent many visits to the Philippines when I was younger. I'm working on setting up my Philippines retirement now, but plan on visiting various places around SE Asia, as well as pop up to Japan and Korea to visit friends up in those areas. I look forward to taking some temple tours though, so Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are sure places to visit.
You will love it
John, it is great I moved here after leaving Cebu in the Philippines which was twenty-five years ago.
No need for Temples bro....just cover for Bargirls....lol.hahaha.
Philippines is a piece of shit in the world. Slum, dirt everywhere, they're ruining the beaches, the food is horrible, all you see is fast food everywhere. Worst country out of 50 that I've visited.
The Filipinas are just more beautiful and that's not to discredit the Thai ladies because they're beautiful too. But the Filipinas just to me seem to have more body, more color more flavor period.
I'll take The Philippines myself because I like the Peace and they have beautiful islands. So does Thailand, as someone said to each his own.
Peace in Philippines? Lol...with all that slums, dirt and thieves?
Yo, I’m in the Philippines now dawg! Would love to meet you man. Arrived about 10 days ago. Have already hit up Manila, Newport City, Makati, Cavite, and Baguio City. Gonna hit up Palawan (Coron and El Nido) in the upcoming week or so.
After my first week here, on the fly, I extended my stay for another 60 days to file for my SRRV (Special Resident Retirement Visa). I’ll have my retirement Visa done in 45 days or less and I’ll be good to go.
Just a little background on me. I’m an Air Force vet. I was stationed here back when Clark AB was active. Always said I would come back so here I am. 🙌🏾
Hope to hear from you man! 💯I
Yeah the good old pi, I was over there in the air force myself at Clark ab . I was there from 1984 -1987
I was in 3rd CES
@@danielp5317 Cool beans! I was there from ‘85 - ‘89 in the 1837 EIS. Wouldn’t be surprised if we had ever crossed paths back then.
Try to visit Iloilo a good mixture of modern and history ...
What city did you fly into? Where did you stay? Which city had the best chance to find a good woman?
@@Ta2edwarrior Can’t believe it’s been two years since I posted this thread, but to answers your question, flew into Manila, living in BGC and meeting a good woman can happen anywhere. That’s entirely up to you. All depends on what you’re looking for.
I've never been to Thailand Before Jay but I think I would prefer the Philippines to
He is right if you like night life party all night infrastructure spicy then go to thailand but if you like PURE HAPPINESS NATURE HAPPINESs if you want to see GENUINE SMILING FACES choose PHILIPPINES.
Because they speak English in the Philippines is one of the reasons I choose the Philippines over Thailand.
Yes my father speak English fluently.He study during American time
yes, no language barrier is a huge factor specially in a situation where u need help, communication is so easy

Hi, I just discovered your channel.... Be a black man living in Germany for over 30 years now, I'm ready for a change... I spent time in Thailand 3 month in 1999 into 2000, I was in Pattaya cause I made the Mistake of jumping in a cab at Bangkok Airport and said take me to the Beach... 3 hours later I saw the most beautiful BLUE SEA that I've ever seen in my life... The Cab driver set me up in a hotel that said it had a swimming pool on a big sign in the lobby, (had been close over 3 years) as I was to find out the next morning when I got up early , up in bathing short grabbed my towel and headed for the Roof... In the Elevator I ran into the cleaning staff who ask me where I thought I was going... There where other problems with my hotel room (even though it was a 4 star Hotel) mold on the Door of the Bathroom and not a speck here or there, but 3/4 of the door with that Black mold that is Health hazard (they acted like that is normal)so little to say I called the cab driver and he got me an Apartment (which I used about a week)... Because I'm Ex- Army, I walk a lot was trying to find a beach ran into an old woman and handed her a 200 Baht gift for the fruit she was selling and she took me to her village where I had the most fun I ever had and there was only one person who could speak English... But with hand and feet I can get everything done.. The only thing is I want to settle in the Philippines, the only problem for me would be the Jealousy problem that the women have there... Never been there and channels like yours are helping me make the Decision if I want to live there or not.. I'm not Vaxxed so I will have time to think before my next vacation...But I do know my next vacation will be in the Philippines ...
Hopefully 🙏 soon they allow unvaccinated
I'm taking my 3 year visa run to bangkok, I was there for a week 10 years ago. I live in the Philippines and content with my girl there. I'm not going to find girls I'm going for visa run, great food and to buy some inexpensive clothes. I prefer the Philippines, have not been to Thailand in a long time and when I was there it was a language problem. Not many people spoke English. In the province not many speak English but there are enough here that do in the philippines. In the bigger cities in Philippines almost everyone speaks English. Thailand is modern and great food. The people are more friendly in the Philippines, at least from what I have seen.the philippines woman are to Jealous and that can get on your nerves sometimes. The woman are beautiful in both countries.
People here in Philippines is friendly, kind and mostly of the same me is very caring and loving.
I do dig Bangkok over Manila. I left Canggu Bali and Phuket Thailand for the Philippines comparing and contrasting now.

I'm also American Black Man also from New York. Been here in the Philippines, Quezon city (20) Years. Nice Videos. Good Job.
Never been to the Philippines. Almost went in 2020 till the volcano hit, went to Thailand instead and spent all of 2020 there. I spent most of my time in Phuket. There you can get the party atmosphere in Patong but also get away to other parts of the island. And big city Bangkok is only couple hr flight away. I'm intending to return and from the friendly Filipinos I've met and some of the expats I've talked to that have experienced both, a lot choose Thailand. But true as you say, it's up to your own preferences.
I think the availability of medical services is better in Thailand especially out of Bangkok or Pattaya. I have a coworker who is a Filipina who has rejected retirement in her home village because her husband suddenly has health problems and in their province there isn't the facilities to take care of him.
Yes, i heard lots of lots American which are my friends that are already in that country enjoying, im so tired here anymore working and working hust for bills.
Ong I’m tired of this sheeiitt
If my daughter wasn’t so young I would’ve left by now.
I understand I has to hustle while here
@@beno6198 When i know my daughter (14 now, half filipina) can manage her self, I`m moving to the phils. to relax and enjoy. Shes been nagging about moving with me, but i told her to wait til after finishing all education, and se what she think about moving then.
Nice. I haven’t been to neither country but I sure wanna visit both them though. It seems like Asia and Latin America are 2 places people wanna retire too. I wanna see a video on the differences between living in both continents
I’m very conflicted about those two countries as well. The biggest advantage that the Philippine has over thailand is because they speak more English and that would be more easier for me. And the people there are very friendly I will confuse and where I wouldn’t want to spend at least a year
Don't stay in Manila. Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental is a nice place with many beautiful beaches but apartments are a bit pricey compared to Bacolod City in Negros Occidental.
I really liked thailand and thought seriously about moving there. Their infrastructure is by far better (electric, internet, roads, buildings). The food is better and has more options, and seems to be a bit more healthier. If you want to have real province life you need to get away from BKK or the other southern big cities. If you live in esan it will be very similar to the Phil province life. Depends on if you want to be close to BKK or not. Going up north or northeast and it gets pretty quiet. Thailand seems cleaner as well. With all that being said, I still will be moving to the phil only because I met a woman from the phil.
Same with me
@@Cons2911 their english in some areas is very good, others its just enough to get by selling their things and then other places not so much. Same goes with the Philippines, in the larger cities english is not a problem however when you go to the province it can be a different story.
@@kevink1214 False again
@@gangstagummybear3432 how so, need to elaborate, and what do you mean again?
Thailand has better infrastructure, food and less natural disasters than the philippines!
Yeah I had fun when I went to Thailand.
Me too
That was the most comprehensive comparison that I have seen on Black RUclips! Thanks!
I was stationed at Clark AB, RP in the 1980s but my decision to pick Thailand is because there are no Volcanoes where I chose to build my house, the City of Udon Thani, Thailand. Also they don't get Typhoons where I am at only heavy rain. With that said we all need to be where we are happiest and good luck.
@followingthejourney
Nice point of view, I am living in Thailand but am having my Philippine girlfriend come out and here to me and stay with me for a while I loved it in the Philippines but also love Thailand not sure where I will settle down.
If you have the means to travel, i feel like Philippines is the best place to have a base because if you look at the map, Philippines sits in the middle of SEA and its just an hours flight to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thai, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and maybe Australia
Sawadi 🇹🇭, krap! I'm a Pinoy who had his High School and college life in the Royal Kingdom of Thailand; seven years straight. I am the son of a diplomat, so I had to stay there for the while - and it became my 2nd home. The Thai people are VERY nice and VERY hospitable. (I had even got pretty emotional on the day I had to leave.) The food is GREAT. Aloy maaaaak!!! (So delicious!!!) No comparison there. The Buddhist temples are beautiful. But I had to return to the Philippines since, of course, it's home. And I have no regrets at all. Yes, the infrastructure is less developed here. But it's getting better. In fact, I just LOVE it here. I do have continuing contact with a friend back in Bangkok. I went back there twice. I miss the food (how do I!) and friends, yes. But the Republic of the Philippines is home. Mabuhay! 🇵🇭
My wife is from the Philippines and my son is half and half! I enjoyed my time 5yrs ago ! They treat you like family
I love Thai food , but i do love the Philippines, the food culture and beauty, no comparison ! Japanese food is my favorite among all!v I could easily adapt on eating any food around the world! And for me every country has its positive and negative issues ! But as a Filipina, country first before others!
My experience is Chiang Mai Thailand, but not yet The Philippines. We shall see soon which one i like better. Thailand is hard to beat.
It is
Chiang Mai is the truth.
If I'm looking to live a single man's life I'm hitting Thailand but if I'm looking for a wife Philippines
Lived in Thailand, back in the Philippines. IDK but for some reason, I did notice first the quality of expats between two countries. What I can say is from experience is that TH attracts the sleaziest, the depressive and unstable, most delusional types of people. There are few exceptions, of course. It's just not worth attracting those expats, especially men.
Thailand and the Philippines, although they are both Southeast Asian countries, nothing compares to the Filipino warmth. In Thailand, they are hospitable to you as a tourist that you are. They will smile and greet you. In the Philippines, hospitality is treating you like a family, like their own. They will go an extra mile to help you.
As for food, Thai foods are rich in flavor and in a sense that it can overhelm the taste buds but underwhelming at the same time because it's hard to describe the actual taste, like you'd say it's flavorful but tastes like water with a little sugar on it or like after all these flavors, it's just spicy.
Thailand is far more progressive than the Philippines when it comes to infrastructure and lifestyle but I feel like the their way of living is far behind, social graces, education system. I also find a country to be progressive if the people reflect that but there is such an imbalance in Thailand, with how they treat their poor people and also the regulations they make are very impulsive and lacking good judgment, as long as they make money. Being short-sighted works for them.
At worst when you get to live with them, you see that most of them are rich but they act like poor people. Some people in authority will even victimize their own people.
In general, they like to appear to have a sense of spirituality but the culture reflects superficiality and love for carnal, materialistic pursuits. In dating, the exchange or connection between a foreigner and a local can feel limited, uncreative and more like an overused template like the typical overhyping of the country and its women, food and culture just to be on the trend but in reality, it's very transactional and predictable. You have to be like them to be treated like one of them.
You can barely hear them use the word 'love', in relationships. Love to them is first and foremost, security and stability. They mention money more than anything else. Also, away from the nightlife, I find Thailand to be very dull. Without exoticizing it, it's just another comfort zone to those who are miserable or to those who were rejected in their own countries. Some people are just in denial. Again, this does not apply to everyone.
FELL THE FRESH AIR IN PHILIPPINES
I lived in Thailand for 2 yrs and 6 months a yr in the Philippines for 10 yrs. Housing generally higher quality and a better value in Thailand. If you like Thai food then there is no comparison in being able to eat high quality food out at restaurants for less.
@@kikikrich He said "Housing generally higher quality and a better value IN THAILAND". How do you come up with " House in Thailand has low quality" wtf
@Wow Print because his from Thailand he doesn't know English lolz
No brainer Philippines is the bomb dawg!!!! Love it there.
Mangosteen is probably the best fruit an extremely expensive in the US. I know you mentioned how cheap it is in Thailand. That fruit does wonders for your immune system, prevention of cancer and more. Definitely eat mangosteen as much as you can.
Thank you for loving the Philippines sir.
Philippines are more friendly and hospitality in the world, an english speaking people in asia, no land boundaries over any countries that makes more safe in security and also more independent in natural resources, and most of all the only christian country in asia, philippines is unique place on earth to lived
I agree, thailand has better infrastructure and medical health services than the philippines. So i gues that should be the area where the phil government will work on if they want to attrack more tourist which in turn can help boost the economy.
Thailand has more to offer, from lovely beaches & islands, unique temples, extreme adventure activities, historical places, wildlife, modern architecture, tasty cuisine, amazing nature🎉
Bangkok is getting expensive, world wide use the Big Mac Meal as a barometer everywhere. Manila McDonald's is cheaper.
But I love to go out to surin and more peaceful for my family. I only started house in Bangkok for 3 months some time 4 months then I go to my house in surin until I come back to USA 🇺🇸👍👍👍.
Jay TBF, have you try to visit one of the most modern city in the world? if not. explore BGC in Taguig Philippines...and compare which is better, Thailand or the Philippines. God Bless!

I didn't want to part with 65,000 U.S. in Thailand vs Philippines 3,900 U.S. for a retirement visa.
True that
@@gangstagummybear3432 Thailand also makes a visa even MORE difficult when you marry a Thai citizen. The exact opposite of the Philippines.
@@fazbell Thailand is completely built off of hype. When I first experienced Philippines back in 2016, on the time leading up to that, I cannot tell you how many Thailand fanboys were trying to sell me on Thailand being "better" than Philippines, before I ever knew anything of why this port was different than any other port I had been to up til that point. Thailand fanatics dont let Thailand speak for itself, they are so overbearing, if Thailand is so great, and so much better than PI, let me and everyone else be convinced on their own experience and terms.
I went to PI first, then Thailand, I didnt see the hype other than far too many bars and clubs, to me, Thailand is a great place for a 30th bday or something, PI is better for a permanent stay for me in my opinion.
Some of these people get caught on by the initial over hype of Thailand, then they ride that, even though they know they are heavily disappointed in what they imagined Thailand was from all the hype, then disappointed by reality, I was never sold on what I saw when I first got there, and remain that way til this day.
@@gangstagummybear3432 Hype, indeed. They are quite open about wanting to attract millionaires, rather than retirees with normal incomes. They fail to realize that they aren't offering much when a millionaire can live anywhere that he or she wants to. Thai people are only interested in money. They have no respect for any other culture but they INSIST that you respect theirs. Tired of being treated like a potential terrorist.
That requirement can be gotten around by using an agent. I pay my agent about 500 US dollars a year to get my visa renewals/ extensions of stay. I keep no money in a Thai bank.
Thank you for loving philippines guy's
The brother made the right choice. Philippines it is.
Pls do not compare between Thai. Thailand is far ahead over Phil. Their food is spectacular. Im humbly accept the fact we are 2nd choice. No comparison better.
Drama. It's not solely about the food.
A month in Bangkok is not enough time.
3 days in Pattaya was too much time for me, I never need to go again, it failed to meet all the hype expectations I had from all the Thailand fanboys in my shipping company.
@@gangstagummybear3432 Then more fool you.
@@tradeladder146 how?
Agree.
@@gangstagummybear3432 Pattaya is not Thailand. That's sexpat central. U guys only go where tourists go. The real Thais arent whores and scammers.

Thanks for the video brother! I'm in my mid-twenties and will be visiting the Philippines later this year!
Thank you for your insight.
lots of countries in asia becoming commercialized, like the rural areas bcoming urban ... in phils. 🏝 you can still go to lots of areas like provinces, islands, mtn. areas 🏞 and what not, where it's still country livin' .....
For me, Thailand has food and Muay Thai. Vietnam has amazing food and is the least great for martial arts but rapidly growing economy. Philippines is last in food and infra but so many people speak English and friendship is way easier. Don't know how hard it is to find Arnis instructors.
Typhoons? been living in the PH for 35 years and it didn't bother me.
They teach arnis in schools in the Philippines. You can check out the rene catalan mixed martial arts system.
Bangkok is more expensive than Manila in 2023.
In my opinion Filipinas come with too much drama speaking from experience… but thai ladies , I talking about the pure ones not the Chinese Thai who have a high maintenance, are more friendly
So now I’m looking for another property in Thailand maybe Phuket and koh samui
Isn’t it harder to get a long term visa (and the benefits that come with that) v Thailand ??? I’d like to see the Philippians
on my third passport. my last stop was thailand next stop the philippines
Visited Thailand. The people are not too nice prolly bcoz they get a lot of tourists. We experienced rudeness and communication was hard making the locals more frustrated. But it’s nice to visit and experience the Thai cuisine.
Maybe because you are rude too.
I don't think they like to speak english. In tourist areas they do it as long as they can sell something to you, but it seems they think you should learn their language, which is a bit strange considering it's a major tourist destination and hardly a worldknown language.
Now, outside of the tourist hot spots the ppl seem much more friendly and polite, however there it's basically only sign language that works if you don't speak thai.
Thailand is for Thailanders, much better.
I want my country to not to exploited.
Odd, I've been coming to Thailand for a Decade
I've never been treated rudely
@@nows1567 learning Thai is a total waste of time unless you intend to live in the place for a long time. It not a useful language like English, Spanish, or French.
Good video man, can you make more?
Short time fun it's Thailand
Philippines is great for women, lovely destinations, but infrastructure is poor, poverty is rampant, and food is mediocre
Biggest hold back for Philippines is the church which has kept the people in perpetual poverty, no divorce, no birth control and list is endless.
How else can the church have a strong grip on a nation if they become rich and prosperous?
When one chooses to live in a place over another, it's because one has his own preference. Thailand and the Philippines are different from each other in some aspects of ones preference. Others would choose Thailand because the things that they like are there which are important for them. Others choose the Philippines because the things of their preference are also found there. Each man has different personal preference. Agree with you sir.
Can't wait to get married finally to my fiancee2wife soon Charlie in the Philippines(embassies need to come correct) & then travel throughout SE Asia & see all of the countries we can!

Philippines was a US territory and was US citizen before 1945. So you'll see a lot of American influence in the Philippines. So many US influence in our way of life..US colonial mentality .. as well as European influence since Spain also colonized Philippines for more than 300 years. This is why Philippines is more Westernize than other Asian nations..
❤️❤️❤️

I ve been saying it for ages. I spent 5 years in the PH and 3.5 years in Thailand.
The PH is better if you are a white or a black guy. TH is better if you are an E Asian guy
Thailand is a lot more racist and xenophobic than the Philippines. If you are a white or a black guy, Thailand is OK for vacation, but staying there long term starts affecting you. There are all kinds of microagressions against you and they wear you down.
Thais as a rule, do not feel comfortable around non Oriental people. Some do, and some are nice, but most do not. So, with exceptions , most of which are ethnic Khmers or Lao, it is not easy to make friends with them. They were never colonized and are just not used to whites, blacks etc. Some of them just try and avoid you outright. Same as the Japanese or Koreans do.
Some really hate out for racial reasons but they smile so you are not aware of it. But then you start to realize it.
Filipinos otoh, are used to seeing all kinds of races, and almost every extended family has someone married to a non Filipino. Making friends with different races is normal to a Filipino.
But many Thais find people of other races weird, and try to ignore them. It makes you feel alienated.
Also, Filipinos speak English and are Christians. That creates a lot of things in common. Thais are Buddhists and most do not speak English.
And when you learn the language, you start hearing the mocking comments and understanding them. Many Thais constantly mock and make fun of whites, blacks and Indians. Filipinos also occasionally do it, but it is not as frequent. They see you as a human being more.
Many high or middle class Thais do not like white people. They see them as a threat to their hegemony over the country and the large underclass. Even their health minister said that white people spread the virus.
High class Filipinos are much less so. Yes, sometimes they also sit around talking s..t about Amerikanos, but way less than the Thais.
It is a shame for a Thai woman to be seen with a white, black or other non Oriental. Especially if she has education. It can also happen in the PH, but it is way less frowned upon.
So, yes, Filipinos can also be racist, but degreewise and frequency wise, it is maybe like 10% of Thailand.
Then, the immigration and visas are much stricter in Thailand. If you leave your house for even one day and go to another province, you need to show up with your landlord at the immigration the following day and report. And you need to report to immigration every three months. Long terms visas are very hard and very expensive. And you need to carry your passport on you at all times.
The Thais are way more class conscious, they look at the clothes you wear, the place you live in, and if you are not upper middle class or rich, they often look down on you. In the PH, if you are not rich, it is OK. If you dress modestly, it is OK.
In Thailand, if you want to marry a girl, you need to pay a bride price to the family. It can be tens of thousands of dollars even.
Three things are better in Thailand
The infrastructure
The quality of services
The food.
The rest is better in the PH.

thank you
Excellent video Brother.
Compare geographically. Sweden and Norway would be the winner with 267,570 islands and 239,057 islands, respectively. You'll need 9 rebirths to be able to visit them all. In South East Asia. Indonesia would be the winner with 17, 508 islands. It would take about 50 years to visit each island in one day. China has 6,961 islands. Vietnam has 1,600 islands. Thailand has only 1,430 islands, which you can all visit in just a span of 5 years. On tourist's perspective, visiting the same places all the time makes it boring after some time. Philippines has 7, 640 islands. You'll have to spend a stretch of 25 years to visit each of the 7,000 + islands staying for just one day in each. Include the 96,828 hectares Tubbataha Reef Natural Park, which has the greatest number of rarest marine life and biodiversity of species in the world. That makes it less boring than visiting a country with a thousand plus islands only.
My previous information was that the Philippines only had 7,140 islands, but it has since been added to over 7,640. I suspect that before that added it was the Spatley Islands, which were almost rocky at high tide. will sink and claiming the rights of many nations as well
@@สุทธิศักดิ์มธุรพงศากุล Better do some research to be educated with regards to Philippines' geography. There are really several islets/shoals being contested in the south China sea that includes Phils, Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and China but the islets/shoals claimed by the Phils are all within its 200miles EEZ. Got it!
@@สุทธิศักดิ์มธุรพงศากุล you seem so anti Philippines. I have been to Thailand so many times and i love the food. I understand your culture and history is based on your own homegrown buddhism and you were a superpower in your neighborhood even ruining the cambodian dynasty, the vietnamese dynasty,the lao dynasty and the burmese dynasty. But you never had any influence on the Philippines. Please do not talk of us in such a manner as if of dogs. Stop such racism and utter bad manners.
The language is the biggest advantage the Philippines have over Thailand. I like just being able to talk to random people. I'm a chatterbox.
Filipinos love talking to strangers but there are unscrupulous people too.
great insight..great video
What are your thoughts on the “Safe Spaces” law in the Phillipines?
A no-brainer. Thailand does not really accept the presence of foreigners among them. The situation is more problematic when you consider the colorism of the average Thai. i would not want to live in a country that considers me "underclass" because of the shade of my skin. 18th Century thinking.
Thats Bollocks, you need to rid yourself of your inferiority complex.
If colourism is an issue in Thailand that would mean 99.99% of Thais are underclass. They are all dark brown. 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes it's very open in Thailand so back in 2008 being to both countries I already knew The Philippines was a winner 🏆 for me.😎🤗
It's your thought. As Thai, much better so many tourists in my place.not good Also.
@@thaimayoree1494 Tourists and expats SPEND MONEY!!!! It doesn't take a genius to figure out that when money is spent, the economy thrivesl. Foreigners are literally saving your economy.
In the Philippines….earthquakes and typhoons monthly. Nuff said. I’d choose Thailand all day baby. 😂😂😂
Earthquakes and typhoons monthly😯ur funny😅🤣
Ay grabe naman ung monthly😄
Dont worry bro, you experiece what philippine did. 👍
It Rains constantly also.
Ano due date kay monthly tlga😂😂.
Wait Thailand is cheaper then the Philippines? wow thank you very much.
Great tips 👌🏾
I think the language barrier is truly what makes foreigners choose Philippines over Thailand.
The females in Thailand are arguably healthier and more attractive, but the simple fact is, it's easier to date a Filipina.
I need me a thicky thick anyway. Hello Filipinas what’s up. 6’2 240lbs of pure chocolate 😂😂😂
Yes Big Truck this is true
Arguably healthier? Maybe cause there's more money from tourism and somewhat better diet. There plenty of attractive (and more importantly good hearted) Pinays all over the country. You just have to find them and have the right intentions.
I have watched countless Thailand videos of walking street and other places there, im not sure where you are judging "more attractive" from, physically? The filipino accent and the language are both so sexy I wouldnt take anything in Thailand or a Thai girl over what Philippines has to offer just from how a how they talk perspective.
@@larookat3338 Exactly
Luv this video bro
I love Philippines is so good and pretty 💙❤️🤍💛
Hi brotherman! It's always a pleasure watching your videos. I've never been to the Philippines. I'm about to retire in March 2024 and visit Manila and Cebu for about months. Im willing to spend up to $700+ a month for a decent apartment. What's the best and reputable realtors to contact to rent that decent and nice apartment there?
