This video for a comparison between Thailand and The Philippines was requested by some of you so here it is. If you are a foreigner and wondering where to live, I hope this video of Thailand vs The Philippines will go some way to helping you decide. I love both countries and have spent a lor of time exploring both of them. From the city life in Bangkok and Manila to the province life outside of the big cities and towns.

A foreigner's question always starts with the budget, cost and housing. The weather, food and culture are secondary. We know foreigners and expats are on a tight budget that's why they're looking for that one last chance at a good life somewhere. Thailand and the Philippines city life and province life are similar so I think there really is no sense comparing the two countries on this issue. I think it's all about the budget. If a foreigner finds it cheaper to live in Thailand, then that's where he should go. If the foreigner thinks the Philippines feels like it is home, then choose the Philippines. End of discussion.

The more this year goes on, the more Philippines is looking to be the better choice, although last year I would have said it was the other way around, as I actually like Thailand better as a destination, although not by very much, so maybe live in Philippines, and holiday in Thailand, instead of the reverse, which was my plan last year.
@ChasingTheSun1967

Good plan. It's not a long flight but you'll probably have to go to Manils first. We are planning another trip to Thailand soon.

Like any country, both have their pros and cons. I’ve spent time in both and enjoy both, but The Philippines has the friendliest most welcoming people of anywhere I’ve been. The English spoken language makes it easy to adjust to there, and it’s where I spend most of my time now. I love long visits to Thailand though.

Thailand has 3 big advantages over the Philippines: Hotel prices are much better, infrastructure is much better (airports, roads, internet), there isn't the same level of animal cruelty (Filipinos abuse their pets and engage in cockfighting all over the place). Philippines airports are the first things we encounter and they are an immediate look into how bad infrastructure is. At small airports, the air conditioning may not work. Many have no taxis or Grab or Bolt, so you're left to the mercy of over-priced vans or terrible tricycles. Manila airport has no train service or proper bus service and flaky WiFi. (Bangkok's two airports both have train services and buses and working WiFi.) The only exception is Cebu, which has the only decent airport in the Philippines.

Some famous RU-vidrs claim rent prices are higher in the Philippines bc too many foreigners. But if your numbers are right then rent should be higher in Thailand. What is your source on the number of foreigners?
@ChasingTheSun1967
@ChasingTheSun1967 22 дня назад
I searched online for the number of foreigners in both countries. I reckon the rent is probably higher where there are more expats. It's not high where we live in Albay province. Cheers.

Many youtubers say that condo rentals in Bangkok are cheaper. The design is better. There are more amenities. And the reasonable price is more worthwhile. Most condos in Thailand have swimming pools, gyms, saunas, parks, playgrounds, libraries, lounges, sports fields, minimarts, restaurants, and laundry shops. The barbershop has a free shuttle to the Skytrain, a bar and coin-operated drinks machines. or automatic food And when walking out in front of your condo You will find a motorbike taxi stand, bus parking, many restaurants, fresh markets, several mini-marts and shopping malls.

You can live in both countries, but the Philippines has the disadvantage of being difficult to travel because it is an island country. There are dozens of storms every year. Sometimes there may be earthquakes. Volcanic eruption and tsunami as well And in the south there are still thieves who demand ransom from foreign tourists. including poverty problems Food that is not diverse and the quality of accommodation is not quite suitable for the price. Travel that is less convenient and takes a lot of time and traveling multiple times including more expensive fares. If you accept all of these conditions. You can happily stay in the Philippines.

Neither one. Expats should only go and spend their money in a country that recognizes them with RECIPROCAL civil and property rights, with a fairly quick and easy permanent residency. Such as Paraguay and several other countries in Latin America. BUY your home there, start your family (or bring it), and really retire in peace with stability. You will never have stability in Thailand, especially, or anywhere in Asia. I tried to live in Thailand for 8 years and will never go back. Spoke fluent Thai.

Nearly all of the damage done during typhoons in the Philippines is due to poorly built and shanty housing. The same is true with earthquakes buy those large enough to cause damage are rare. Volcanic eruptions can cause problems but these are localised. Your concerns are pretty much baseless.
