@Michael *******

you read it the same as me, then; he actually thinks the reason for asking this question is about penny-pinching rather than being clear about having the correct documentation and requirements in order upon entering a foreign country. Thought I'd allow the benefit of the doubt that I might have misread rather than assuming he's trolling or retarded 🤷‍♂️

@Myles ******

technically it would never be 0% but I appreciate the sentiment ;)

@Scott ********

huh? Who...me?

@Brandon ***********

good stuff, that's what I like to hear 👏

@Brandon ***********

lol, you may as well argue that you aren't allowed to cook yourself a meal at home in your own kitchen 😂

@Todd ********

mate you look like this guy. Sit down

@Jim *******

great to know, thanks. Definitely gonna be doing it this way when the time comes!

@Jim *******

do you get some sort of confirmation that it's been received?

@Eric *****

well, I've been here for close to a year and haven't yet been robbed or got into any situation where I felt unsafe. There are some sketchy areas but I just don't go there. And when I do venture anywhere unknown or potentially dangerous, I just don't carry anything much worth stealing. A second, cheap phone is handy for that reason.

I live in Cebu. I like it here. I'd recommend it only if you're planning to stay in the Philippines for a while. And I'd certainly recommend it over Manila in that case.

There's a direct flight from Bangkok Tuesdays and Sundays, I believe, although it's overnight at some unsociable hour.

It's a fun little city with loads of incredible places to visit, all a short hop by plane, bus, or ferry.

If you're not a seasoned traveler and/or have never been to the Philippines before, I do recommend you do some research beforehand though. It ain't Thailand out here.
