Thailand Versus The Philippines for Travel or Retirement.

A lot of people often talk about what is the difference between Thailand and the Philippines.
These two are possibly the most popular tourist destinations in all of Asia.
There’s no surprise that people want to know which country is the best for them to visit on their next holiday or maybe even for retirement!
You may consider moving there permanently?
In this video, we compare the two countries for visiting and possibly retirement.
Check out the links in the description below for some fantastic information to help you on your travels.
Ok, we will compare the two countries on the criteria of, The People, The Language, The Food, Personal Safety, Visa’s and Ease of Staying, The Cost, and in the end, we will have the conclusion and which will be the best one.
So, let’s get started.
The People.
If my time is any indicator of how friendly and fun the Filipino people are then this is a huge win for The Philippines.
The people are about as fun and friendly as they could possibly be.
It seems Filipino culture is much more open and playful than the Thai culture.
Thai culture is very reserved once you get away from the Red-Light districts.
They are very polite and shy, which is nice, but not always a lot of fun.
Filipinos seem to have a much more western influenced personality and sense of humour, so you find Filipinas always playing around, cracking jokes, and in true Filipina style dancing and singing 23.5 hours out of the day.
This is something you just don’t get in Thailand and it’s probably my favourite thing so far about travelling in the Philippines.
In this part, this is a huge win for the Philippines.
The Language.
This is another major difference between Thailand versus the Philippines.
Depending on which source you read, the Philippines is either the 2nd or 3rd largest English-speaking country in the world!
They speak great English which makes it extremely easy to get around and ask important questions such as, what’s in this food?
How do I get there?
and, are any other bars still open?
When it comes to language, it really is the Philippines time to shine.
In Thailand, you will find a large majority of Thai's that speaks reasonable English inside the tourist zones such as, Sukhumvit, Patong, Khao San Road, etc.
However, you will still encounter lots of taxi drivers, food vendors and shop workers who do not speak English or don’t speak enough to understand what you are asking them.
Your hotel receptionist will probably speak just fine but, trying to explain how to get back to your hotel to your taxi driver late at night may be a problem.
Travellers Tip!
A great tip for this, by the way, is to take a couple of hotel business cards with you when you leave the hotel and keep one in your wallet and another in a separate pocket.
However, this is definitely another big win for the Philippines.
The Food.
When it comes to food, for me Thailand will come out swinging.
Thai food is internationally renowned and for pretty good reason.
It’s fantastic!
I love Thai food, especially Isaan food.
I also have enjoyed Filipino food, especially Adobo and Tapsilog, but I haven’t eaten enough of it to really put it to the test against Thai food, which I’ve eaten numerous times.
I’m sure there are so many different Filipino dishes, especially regional dishes, that I’ve never even seen, so it’s a bit difficult to pass judgment here.
I found the food in The Philippines a bit to Westernised “hamburgers and hotdogs”.
I will say though, that Thai food is amazing, and I can’t recommend it enough!
I’ve always felt that Western food in Thailand is below average though.
I don’t know exactly why that is, but it just isn’t very tasty and it’s expensive!
I’m giving Thailand the win for the food, but I definitely need to venture more into the Philippines region for real traditional food.
Safety.
