I think the moral of the story is: live in Thailand, visit Philippines when you want some baaaad food

I think of the strangest things in my quiet moments but this one tops the list 🤔

My wife called one today - 55k for a year

Join this group for everything you need to know about Muay Thai

A friend worked as a dive instructor for a Phuket dive centre pre-COVID for around 2 years. He eventually gave it up as he was literally making less money than the associated costs of Visas etc. He now just enjoys diving as a hobby

ach that’s too bad - I read that Binance now has a license for Thailand so hopefully soon…

if you have a moderate amount of trading skills you can usually beat the Wise exchange rates

USD to Coinbase, convert to USDT, send to Bitkup, convert to THB, deposit to your Thai bank. Quick, cheap and usually by far the best rates.

And yes, you will have to do KYC

@Stelar ******

also a great option, agreed

Rollo Ajarn Roadie Sawyers I have spent a fair amount of time in the Philippines and would not consider living there, even for a few weeks as (1) the food is truly awful - both the local Fayre and their poor attempts at non-local (2) I assume due to the crippling poverty and lack of Buddhist values there is always someone trying to scam / ‘borrow’ / ‘invest’ or outright rob you (3) public transport is terrible and dangerous (as one of many examples a previous in-law was on a Jeepney and someone was quietly knifed in front of her). Each to their own but if Thailand wasn’t an option I would consider Cambodia way before the Philippines
