Many options like taxi, Grab, Bolt etc but I prefer Mike's Taxi Service. Book on their website. Costs 1000 to 1200 baht. Professional and reliable with good cars

in this case use the "obfiscutated" (or some weird word like that hahaha) I'd using NORDVPN. It does something different to hide the location better from Netflix and Amazon. Works well

this is not correct. I have downloaded a VPN onto my firestick. Nothing special or anything... just search the apps.

I chose NORDVPN and it works

I added a VPN and used Netflix in Japan, indonesia, Philippines and thailand.

Netflix show catalogies change if it's US Netflix versus Thai Netflix. So if I want Thai Netflix catalog of shows I don't turn the VPN on and if I want US Netflix shows then I turn on the VPN.

Choose a VPN that works well for Netflix. Some require specific settings to make this work. I use Nord VPN and use specific servers that can hide location from Netflix better.

hmmmmm.... I don't mean to be rude but Philippines does not mirror Thailand society. Both are great places and have wonderful things about them but they are very different in many ways. The biggest similarity is that they are both in tropical portion of SE Asia. That's about it.

Differences include housing quality versus cost. Food. Level of development. Transportation. Medical. Engkish speaking ability levels. There are Pros & Cons to both but very different.

Philippines does have a better grasp of English but not everywhere and it is its own version of English. Much better snorkeling and diving in PI. Great beaches. Transportation & infrastructure is not as developed though and cost of housing for the price is not quite as good.

Thailand has a broader variety of activities and temples and stuff. More developed and better medical and transportation. English isn't as common except in the professional and educated.

I have quite a bit of experience in both and trying to decide which to move to as well. Or I might bounce back and forth.
