How does living in Thailand compare to living in the Philippines in terms of cost, safety, and overall experience?

@Mohit *********************

some people are happy with a 6k room some spend 51k like you. I not like to stay Siam, Asok but prefer Bangna or some local quiet place. Everyone is different. The things is, it is there. Nothing to do with poor or anything, just choices

I visited Phills and stay Thailand for long periods at one place. My thoughts... food is much better in Thailand. Language can be difficult but I learned Thai. Still have the level of a little kid 😆 but it helps much especially in parts like isaan. Renting in Thailand is cheap and everywhere available.

What visa options do I have as a US citizen planning to stay in Thailand for 6-8 months?

Mike *****

5. Go Vientanne, Laos and get a SETV 60 days + 30 days extension. I think in 6-8 months you will get problems if you come back for 30 day exemptions only.

So if you can get a SETV at your home country + SETV Laos your covered for 6 months already.
