Yes itâs similar yet totally different. Both countries will rip off Farangs. Mr. Thailandâs on here will be enraged but Thailand is xenophobic not all but itâs a fact especially if your Farang after awhile many visits but I suppose not worth overthinking. Philippinos speak way more English due to history. But Thailand food I find more yummyđ Each has pros & cons. OK peace outâď¸
