Let me help you

@Tommy *******

Nothing to do with anything. I wonder why someone is in a group designed to help people in or coming to Thailand, and all you're doing is dribbling about the Philippines! The clue is in the group heading, it says "Thailand" 😂😂😂

@Tommy *******

Ya. I don't drink at home ya . I go out to drink and socialise ya. Hey buddy, the people in this group are in Thailand ya and want to stay in Thailand ya. Because you can't afford to live here you don't have to push your crap onto others ya

@Gábor *********

Wrong. Do your research. BOTH are visas, and BOTH can be extended

@Tommy *******

So Thailand is Phuket? I think it's you under a rock! Beer from a SHOP. Ok. A Cheap Charlie! Stay in The Philippines if it suits your wallet better 😂😂😂

@Tommy *******

Most of those I dispute. I worked in the Philippines for many years and still visit friends twice a year. I'd never use a taxi in Manila - they're a huge rip off! I use Grab every time. The beer is better in Philippines, I'll definitely say that, but if you're drinking in a venue with live music you're still paying 160php upwards. I don't know about retirement visas in Phil, but the retirement visas in Thailand are very straightforward. A simple extension once a year. Don't know about Russians but some parts of Makati are crawling with Arabs! I'm one of those who has no issues with Thai Citizens getting discounts to enter national parks. They own them, don't they? They should get in for free! You won't sell Philippines to me. I worked and stayed there for many years, and I like it, but Thailand kills it on everything

@Glenn ****

I don't have money in the bank, I simply transfer each month, 90-day report takes one minute online, no call for residence certificate unless buying a car etc, TM30 online once a year. For those small tasks, Thailand a much better country to live in. Transport links first class, great Bangkok rail network (SkyTrain and underground), food is superb (not oily or full of fat!). Extension of stay takes an hour once a year!

@Glenn ****

I said language already! I don't know about Philippines retirement visa. I've got a Thai retirement visa and have extended for about 12 years without a problem so I can't agree on that. Very easy in Thailand

@Tommy *******

Philippines is good for a holiday. But realistically it's a sh1thole with terrible food and terrible transport links. Could never live there. Except for language, Thailand trumps Phil on everything

Yep! The same expats who whine incessantly about paying 300 baht to get into a national park, calling it a scam, will happily pay 17-25k baht to an agent for a 1900 baht extension and will swear blind it's legitimate! Stupidity knows no bounds! 🤡
