You came off as offensive towards the country you live in. Why the comment about "people who can speak English"? I know many thais who speak perfect english. I also know Filipinos who don't. It's weird to live in Thailand and be in a Thai group, yet put down the people. Also, I stated nothing but the truth about the Philippines.
Some people like to blame others for their problems, when in fact, there is no self accountability. It is an extremely easy visa to get, if you meet the requirements and enter your information correctly.
Yes, enjoy all the earthquakes/ natural disasters. Also, the constant political drama/corruption they are currently having. I would stay far away from the phillipines for the time being. Also Steve, many people in thailand, especially in tourist areas with high volume speak english fine. Why don't you go to the phillipines instead?
