Funny 😆 I also had a Gilligan’s Island experience. I was just visiting a friend who retired to Thailand and I fell in love with the place immediately. 2015. The cliche response was returning to the US and immediately booking my next trip to Thailand. I moved to Bangkok in 2017 after three month long tourist trips. Married a Thai woman, lived in Bangkok 6 years, built a house in Isaan in 2022, and have been living in the countryside for 14 months. I agree with your guest. Thailand handled Covid pretty darn well, not perfect, but I am glad I was here rather than the US. Not mentioned but important to me is the religious cultural differences between Thailand and the Philippines. I am non-religious. It was a surprise to me how nice it was to be in a Buddhist, that is non-Christian, culture. I didn’t think about the Christian religious background to the US until I was immersed in the nonjudgmental Buddhist culture of Thailand. In a Catholic country the holidays would repel/bore me. Here in Thailand they are colorful, vibrant and interesting. Different strokes for different folks.

I picked Thailand, specifically Chiang Mai, for several reasons. It feels more like Asia, if you know what I mean. Some of the best motorcycling in the world. Medical care is top notch. There is more history and, hate to say it, but it's cleaner. Of course the food and coffee culture also. Don't get me wrong, I love the Philippines, but for me Thailand comes up on top.

Probably the most honest down to earth interview. I live full time in Thailand for the reasons mentioned. However, the Philippines has the most friendly English speaking Filipinos. The weather is about 10° overall cooler. Humidity is tough when it's 93° daytime & cools to 87° at night in Thailand. The Filipina women are hard working and willing to relocate. Thailand women generally prefer Thailand to stay life long.

Here in Thailand we are officially 3 weeks into the hot season. Even Thais complain about the heat. For me, I’m fine with the climate all year long. Seven years later I still am repelled from the the damp chilly foggy climate of the San Francisco Bay Area. The tropical climate was one of the draws to SE Asia. Everyone points to the December-February high season but I actually prefer and love the June-November rainy season. This is when Thailand is lush and green with blue skies with puffy white clouds ☁️ except for the Biblical downpours which seldom last more than an hour.

I have lived in the Philippines for a total of 9 years, and really non stop for 6 years in Mindanao. I am writing this from my room in Pattaya, Thailand. I have lived for 4 years in Thailand in total. I live here because of financial issues, but I am SO happy that I will soon return to Mindanao and meet my wife and my boy again. Thailand is a great place to stay for a couple of weeks, but nothing can beat the friendliness of the Filipinos. Stuff is WAY cheaper here in Thailand than in the Philippines, all from rentals to groceries. Summer is here now in Thailand, and I have no Airconditioner (not allowed here due to the electrical setup that can not handle AC), so I am basically living in the shower here, buying ice and putting it in the air cooler that I have here. There are so many sexy ladies here in Thailand but they are way out of my League. In the Philippines the young sexy women love me, so I feel like a Rock Star over there. Here in Thailand I am a nobody.

You need the patience of Job to live in the Philippines, if you easily get upset, it is definitely not for you. Anything you can do in a few minutes and in 1 visit in the US, might take you 2 or 3 weeks and multiple visits in the Philippines... Sorry sir, closed. Sorry po, no change. Brownout. No appointments only earliest time to be seen, better get there 2 or 3 hours before. No water today, sometimes several days, do you want to get up at 4 and store water every couple days to bathe and flush toilet? After a typhoon you won't have wifi or cell for weeks. It just goes on and on and on. If you are easy going, can deal with that and you can plan well around it, you will be fine, if not, go to Thailand or Vietnam.

I have been thinking about maybe making the Philippines a second home for the winters and English is a huge factor but,,,, you've made a compelling argument for Thailand too. Oh and the weather seems like an easier adjustment as well in the PI for those of us going back and forth between the states and SEA. Internet is a big deal for me but I hear there's one or two places in the Philippines that have a pretty solid connection and stable power. I guess so long as I don't buy anything we don't have to choose. We can do both and more.

Great video and the points made were a bullseye in my book. I was 49 when i landed in the Philippines, one month later i turned 50. This move was the single most best birthday present to myself. Even more so than the home i had bought myself in America. I didn't think life could get any better than being a paid in full home owner; boy was i wrong! I would rather live in a hut here vs a mansion there. Improving my health from work related hazards and my social life was paramount, and ✔️✔️. This May ill be 51 and I'm happily dating a young kind hearted smoke show with a high sense of traditional family values. They way most of these young ladies think about life just hits differently. Far from the dysfunction and abstract dating agendas i had grown to expect living in the U.S. 50 years later you'll turn and ask yourself, where did it go and what has it gained me? But here i live day by day happier than ever 😎 no questions asked and no regrets.

I've been enjoying your channel for a long time Paul among several others and has been planning to move to the Philippines from Southwest Florida for a few years. Just recently I've been considering Malaysia. I wish you would visit there and let us know your opinion. Thanks for another excellent video

Richie Mac actor turned director from Los Angeles California by way of Chicago. I have starred in over 50 national commercials from McDonald’s, to IBM, to coca cola to Disney World. I have worked with Barry Levinson, Joe Piytka and Michael Bass to name a few. By watching them, I caught the bug for filmmaking. Mentored by Robert Townsend as an actor and director, and graduating from New York Film Academy. I learned all the facets of Filmmaking I was best in, from writing to directing to editing. I believe to be a good director, you have to be a good editor. To me, they go hand-in-hand. I’m known for being not only super talented, easy to work with, and extremely versatile. I grew up in South Central but was raised in a conservative Jewish family where I had to keep kosher during the week and deal with Gangs whe I went home on the weekends. I am not afraid of hard work, I know how to meet deadlines and I love working inder pressure. Thanks for reading and I look forward to hearing from you on any and all quality projects, no matter the budget.

Good video Paul. I have been mostly in Thailand, Bangkok, for 3 months. I love Thailand. I have been to Phuket twice in the last year. Great place, expensive, and loaded with Russians running from the war. That is fine, happy they have somewhere to go but it does make prices go up. I also spent 3+ weeks in the Phils including 4 days in Duma. Great place as well. Keep up the good work! But I also will go back to USA.

Hey guys I'll throw this one out to either one of your channels but I'd be curious to hear more on visas for Thailand vs Philippines, I am sure the bulk of your audience is either retired or younger travelers so maybe the visa issue is not a big deal as many countries offer retirement visa for older folks. But there are some of us in our 30s/40s ready to make a permanent move and from what I have found visas are the contention, in Thailand at least the "golden visas" have dramatically increased and still put a time limit on number of years for your stay. Thanks, and keep up the great videos!
@darryl.c79724 ай бұрын
I live in Thailand on a retirement visa, [long stay] you need to be 50 yrs old and have a thai bank account with a balance of 800,000 thai baht about $24,000.00 USD or monthly income of 65,000,00 thai baht around 2,000 USD. if under 50, there are other options. just google Thailand visas for long stay.

@@owen7412 yep this is right but 1 year I do not consider a permanent move. Coming from USA or Canada permanently to SE Asia some of us are looking for longer then that.
