LIVING IN THAILAND VS PHILIPPINES vv More Info Down Here vv

Having lived in Thailand for several years and now briefly visiting the Philippines for a few weeks. We discuss 'Living In Thailand Vs The Philippines', our Initial observations and thoughts on whether the Philippines would be a serious contender for our expat life in the future.

In this video we talk about the things that we have seen during our short trip to the Philippines and how they compare to our life in Thailand. Including first impressions, cleanliness, safety, the Filipino people and culture, is the tap water safe to drink, Filipino food, language barriers, hospitals, fuel prices, hotels, buying cars, renting cars, using a chauffeur service, road conditions, the climate and weather, the cost of living, duel pricing systems for foreigners, public transport, imported foods, shopping malls, armed guards and the general standard of life in the Philippines.

We also interview Rob, Sacha's father who has been visiting the Philippines multiple times a year for 9 years. He has a Filipino fiance Luz and has a house in Cavite city Manila that he shares with Luz and her family. We felt that his opinion of the country would be less rose tinted and more definitive having spent much longer with the people. Rob intends to retire to the Philippines in the near future when he is finished with work in the UK, and has already had some interesting experiences. :-)

We obviously couldn't cover every subject in this video and we wish we had more time to spend in the Philippines so that we could have a deeper understanding of expat life in this amazing country. But we definitely intend to return and see what else the Philippines has to offer.
