Yes sir and one thing I don't possess. It's nice living I a place where things are the way they are suppose to be regarding rules and laws. I do appreciate living in a small town in Tennessee.
Hey Scott. Back in the USA and catching up on your videos. Really like the way your channel has evolved. Agree with you about Malaybalay though I just stopped there for lunch on my way to and from Davao I was very impressed with it and Bukidnon in general. Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s working.
Panglao is nice, however it is not a big city. It has its main section, then the rest is more country, tropical setting. It is known for Alona Beach and all the hotels/resorts that are on the beach front. It is also overpriced because of all the tourists that are there. Nice place to visit, and hang out at the beach, but for me not a long term living area. Another area that became touristy and pricy.
Haha Scotty boy, it was kinda hilarious when you were feeling frustrated but the views were STUNNING at the same time. That "hostel" looked beautiful and that walk to main road was gorgeous. But yeah, the whole thing felt kinda impractical in terms of walking distance access to food and such. Cool adventure though! Would be nice if the hostel or hotel or whatever at least provided bicycles and a map of exactly what's nearby for food and cool shit to check out.
I know you were frustrated on this stop, but watching your successes and failures really do help the rest of us in planning our own adventures... Keep them coming my good man.
“Planning” is they key word. I am not a planner and I suffer bad results when I don’t. When I stir up the discipline TO plan, I end up thinking, “Why don’t I do this all the time?”
@@Regular_Guyphproblem is the words , like example my buddy they look you like crazy. need used low English . try not to used words that are reg used in the west because in they might not understand them in a Asia . used common basic words . get along a lot better .used words not used a lot are never in the Philippine's look at you think your better then they are .
Usually you can get rooms cheaper online than the walkup price. Sometimes if they don't want to match the online price, then just book it online. Be prepared and armed with the prices beforehand so you can negotiate. And man, that is annoying when they talk for 15 minutes about everything and nothing when you just want the room key. been there, done that.
My wife is from Bohol. Tagbilaran and the Aloha Beach area are awesome. Lots of accommodations. Outside of there it is hard to find anything to stay in or anywhere to eat. Buenavista is nice and there are restaurants there but not much more. But the beachs at Bohol are a hidden oasis! Absolutely amazing and beautiful.
9:25 minutes of the video: It would seem Dave the subscriber who recommended the place to stay doesn't know Scottie Boy very well! On the other hand Scottie Boy should know that Panglao is a beach resort Island that's pretty spread out countryside style place (province town). I don't see Scottie Boy living in the province even though he say's he would live in the province. He needs a town with a main drag with everything on it and lots of people walking around.
This whole video exemplifies all the daily nonsense one experiences in the Phillie! Things take forever, endless misinformation, asking a simple question like "where's a restaurant" returns a dead stare as if you asked how to split an atom. It often times returns misinformation like we see with Scotty-boy all the time. Couple that with stifling heat and humidity, the lack of reliable infrastructure and it reminds me of all the reasons why I have no desire to return.
@@garyzies3486 I've traveled and lived in many places around the planet including the Phillie. I'm 56 years old and for 25 years of that has been living abroad and various. I traveled out of a suitcase for a year before there was the internet. Much of that was in less developed countries. I've been spending a lot of time and Mexico, Central America and South America and I'm much more prefer their brand of bullshit. I'm American and I can no longer tolerate the bullshit here I'm plotting my plan to move on. The Phillie is not on my shortlist.
There's something about the Phillie that is unique in its dysfunction that does not work for me. I love the people and I love the culture. I just don't like it's brand of rigmarole. Mind you I haven't been there for 10 so perhaps things have changed but not from what I can tell with vloggers like Scotty. I can't say if you want to settle down in the province with a nice babaroonie and live is simple in the province it's one of the most affordable places to do so.
Scott. ... don't let the local trikes or jeepneys dictate your perception of a place.. Its natural that being in the city makes it easier to see places and attractions.. But if you rent a scooter for yourself... The place will open up better and much faster.. And your researching for places to live eat and the social opportunities you are seeking. Keep up the good work ... When I move there.. I'm buying a scooter 🛵 right away.. My mobility is part of my freedom and enjoyment of being there.. It saves the hassle
The Honda Click 150 or 160 cc is under $2000.00 The other models for 160cc are over $3000.00 The Honda Click is very reliable economical and enough power to move your 6 foot tall body around.. Anyway.. I hope this help Also when you get the bigger bucks. Buying a Isuzu or Toyota pu are around $20000.00 k 40k cheaper than 🇺🇸
You are experiencing, and recording what many of us did back in the day. Hopefully your viewers will understand how it can be in most provinces. First time I went to my ex-wife's village we stayed in Escalante, Negros. 4 hr bus ride turned into 6hrs, no aircon and worn-out seats hard as rocks. Arrived at about 8pm, just in time to check in.... the whole town shuts down at 8pm, hotel restaurant closed at 6pm, the time we should have arrived. But you already know about buses and vans making several stops on the way to the destination. Hungry, tired, and sore from a bad back, only to find out the plaza was closed, no 7/11 in town, no quicky mart in town, not even a sori-sori store open. Lucky for us her school friend came over to visit and brought some chips and a chocolate bar. Watching you gripe and be over it, brings back flashbacks and I start cracking up. Just remember, I'TS MORE FUN IN THE FILIPINES! Thanks for the laughs and entertainment. Liked and always a loyal subscriber.
Try Calubian, Leyte. Go down on the waterfront and eat good at Cynthia and JessaBell restaurant. Most beautiful town in the Philippines. And Cynthia is drop-dead gorgeous and still single at 25.. No kids. You can rent a nice bedroom apartment with an outdoor Community Kitchen for $60 a month. 35000 friendly people Village. Lots of reasonable transportation. Beautiful mountains go right down to the seà. Beautiful beach and deep water port. Tell Cynthia I sent you. She is my wife's best friend since grade school and has her own new motorcycle. Her dad also own another restaurant on the Waterfront. I've got some excellent pictures of this town. Is there anyway I can send them to you?
Yes and don't forget the banking experience just to buy pesos with US dollars where each banknote has to be inspected and any torn or defaced ones rejected, taking maybe an hour.
If you are looking for good deals in the Philippines first check where Monsoon's strike the hardest, land is cheap there. Next look for areas that Typhoons come to shore, land there is also cheap. Next determine in which direction lava flows and large cracks exist in the earth's crust, you will also fine cheap land in those provinces. Ohh yes and also inquire when will be the next tsunami so you can plan to sell accordingly. Also they'll let you buy it but not tell you unless you marry a Filipino and your wife's names not on the title, you can't sell it. PS: barking dogs, roosters and termites will destroy your life. This place is worse than a Baltimore Ghetto, you can go there and stay for free.
@@phoenix2529 Like what? I've been a Subscriber to Scott's channel since March of 2022, when he had 4 videos and 88 subs. Perhaps you're a newer member and haven't heard him say so, but before he returned to the Phils in March of 2023, a year and thousands of subs AFTER I joined, he would comment about his dream of settling down in the province and living a simple life. Just gigging him about complaining about the "Rustic" nature the place he was staying in. When Scott started having lives in May of 2022, there would be like 10 people at most, so we had many conversations long before his channel blew up. So I'd say I know Scottyboy at least as well as any other subscriber. So it wasn't "Doing him like that" thank you very much!
@@bigjohnson7415 Does Scottyboy ever hook up? I know he's cruising the babarinos but in the 5 or 6 I've watched he's hardly had a conversation with anybody. Legit wondering, if so I'd like to watch it.
@@onpoint24.7 If he is, he's not advertising it. I'd kinda think not, but by HIS choices, as I'm sure plenty of LBFM's have made themselves available. Scottyboy is a Saint, not a Sinner!🤣🤣🤣
Panglao island is about the beaches there's some really long beautiful white-sand beaches there so if you're not staying at a beach resort or somewhere close to the beach then you should rent a scooter to get there and get back and forth to tagbilaran. So you can live near beautiful long white sand beaches for cheap in panglao and be only 15 or 20 minutes away from the city or you can live in the city and be 15 or 20 minutes away from the beach but if you just show up and stay at some little hut thats inland and have no way to get around and your not even near the beach or city then of course you're not going to like it. You missed the whole point. LOL
If you really plan to stay in a remote bamboo hut, you will need a motorcycle or a car, because you don't like to depend on slow snails, while they figure out how to use their own phone. The trike diver was waiting, but ... they don't care !
OMG this episode was HILARIOUS to watch 😂💯👌 No but really, I think you happened to get the worst first impression of Panglao possible. I've been there myself and it's beautiful, lots of restaurants, good people, amazing beach etc. WHERE THE HELL DID YOU END UP?? This is NOT the Panglao I've experienced.. I'm not sadistic in ANY way, but to see your patience get tested like in this vid was just hilarious.. 😆
he was only hungry too much looking for a nearby restaurants from his hostel..why he never look for a place to stay in Tawala where Alona beach is located.his hotel is in Barangay Libaong 1 barangay away from tawala province like.
I would assume you’d have to be in chill mode like those foreigners you bumped into. With just the heat and 3rd world dynamics one would have to slow their pace and expectations. That’s probably the best way to go about enjoying the Philippines, steady and patient.
Panglao is all about the beach area. You must stay there for a night. And check out the new airport. I would love to see a video including the beach area and the airport.
I think it's your personality. I can't watch you for very long and you seem to be a New York Minute in the everlasting lazy days of the tropics. I knew a guy who just wouldn't shut up once when we were around each other. I told him (after he explained to me that he was from New York) that ~ "Every second around you is lke a New York Minute and all I wanted to do was be in Hawaii again and I couldn't wait for him to leave anytime he showed up. If that's too honest just remember it took me a week to figure it out and it's HONEST !
I've been here 15 years. Haven't been on Alona Beach since precovid. Aggressive vendors, old, fat massage women, overpriced, but nice at night I've heard. Good luck
You pay what's known as the "skin tax" or "foreigner tax". I always send my girl to negotiate prices at the markets, hotels, taxis etc. because as soon as they see me, prices go WAY UP!
I think IMHO you need to rent a scooter to minimize your frustrations and stress. Things will not seem so terribly far away. But, in doing this you will need to be patient while getting comfortable with the scooter. By doing this you will have a blast riding around on the motor scooter and not missing so much of the real visayan region. And another thing when the college girls are checking you out, it doesn’t mean they think you’re gross…
Right... that is what I was thinking too. I actually thought those girls were checking him out like some other girls have in previous vids. Should be no different with girls in college or walking to a store downtown. Glad someone thought the same. Maybe he put that in there to create a click bate title...
Hey Scotty Boy, I am Scotty B. I have been subscribed to you a while and watched many of your videos. I have a Thai wife. I do personally think that the Philippines is a hard place to live. Its tough getting taken advantage of all the time. So many bad traits they have with regarding work ethic, noises all night long, us having to pay two time for everything, paying for everything for their whole families. Majority fo my friends from Hawaii are pilots and they all have Thai wives. Love is over rated my man stop wasting your time. Like you say, freedom, bachelor, travel. No stress, no bull, no feeding whole neighborhoods, no anxiety. Enjoy your time just have your fun young man. Another country may be a little better to really be happy in the right situation. Never the less, good luck in your travels. Scotty B
I am 31 years old and I got a mexican wife. Things are similar here (Mexico) but I agree but I do love my wife but knowing now I would have still single.
Oh yeah 😂Scotty boys about to lose it . I love the raw footage Scotty. And you were very impressive on Paul’s interview the other day. I’m sure that one will get Lots of views for him. 👍🏽
You’re making a big mistake not going back out and exploring Alona beach area. We’ve already seen Tagbilaran and cute girls on the beach is much more interesting.
i have a house in Malaybalay City..and land in san fernando,Bukidnon...so i agree with selecting Malaybalay as one of the places you would like to live in...the weather in Malaybalay City is perfect and it is very cheap...the people are so hospitable as well..enjoy your trips ..be safe
Scotties earlier video has me really considering moving there. do you know any sites with rentals or anything? Id like to come for a month or so this fall to see it before making the move
Living in Davao. Well at least I have an apartment rented in Davao. Was thinking about purchasing a condo there when I get back. I am going to check out Malabalay does it have the same problem with earthquakes as devout?
@@johnclark8637 I arrived in DeVoe on October 6th. Broke up with my girlfriend 3 weeks later and experienced my first earthquake while I was on the 22nd floor of my luxury condo lol. I was there till March. I know there was one earthquake I didn't feel and two that I did so four and that 6 months and there was one yesterday or the day before 5.3 that my girlfriend told me about
I had one of those rooms in the carribean, you need a mosquito net over the bed but it usually stays cool when there is a breeze, and you get to listen to the music all night, loved it
Love the tour of the Phils. Yeah you were repeating yourself like crazy in some of those last vids. It’s ok to let some space be between your comments. Find a mix’s the that works for you.
Hit up some resorts around Alona Beach. A lot more going on there. You are correct that life is much better with a scooter when you are on Panglao. It is not the island to just show up at a random hotel and expect to find a lot going on around you... but this is the beauty of Panglao to people looking for that. Great little towns on Panglao, but they are all a bike ride away. I rode a motorcycle around the entire island in about 6 hours, taking my time, and stopping at great restaurants and beaches around the island. I love Panglao and slightly dislike Tagbilaren, so I guess it all depends what you are looking for. Doljo beach has the most star fish I have ever seen in my life. Poblacion has a great restaurant (La Familia), and some little shops around. Maybe you are trying to do city style touring in the country side. Gotta know when you need your own wheels and when it is ok to take tuktuk all over. They'd probably help you rent a bike if you ask them.
I really got a laugh at the faces those college girls made. "I want a Chinese sugar daddy. This guy is just an American, or worse maybe a Canadian." LOL! Love the channel. Edit: Your experience at the hostel was hilarious, boosted by the comments at the bottom. I made the mistake of eating while watching and I almost choked at the comment about the Tuk Tuk driver owning his vehicle. That level of small talk is priceless!
problem is the words , like example my buddy they look you like crazy. need used low English . try not to used words that are reg used in the west because in they might not understand them in a Asia . used common basic words . get along a lot better .used words not used a lot are never in the Philippine's look at you think your better then they are .
@@elstudente1462 I sure do…I will have to get back with you later. I’m busy watching other Scottie Boy vids. I used to watch Family Guy for entertainment. Now I watch Regular Guy.
Well said. This guy was interviewed by Old Dog in Duma. He said that he is waiting for the “perfect Filipina girl in the right location”…. Of course, he will never find one. He is the one who needs “lifting up”. Meanwhile, in his journeys, he is out looking for gullible girls who thought he is ready to commit. Girls, beware!
Yep going from what you say you shouldnt even consider building a house in the province, you would go mad in 5 minutes, you seem like a city boy and need lots of things happening around you.
That's funny brother look at that gross tall foreign guy. The opposite of that brief encounter those babes were checking you out dude. Correct I agree on college town to settle down or not. In the middle of nowhere that jungle hostel I would get bored quickly.
How the hell can you drink coffee all the time when its so hot and humid??? There's no damn way I would get a room with no air con. To me its torture.......got to have air con, unless of course its 75 deg with no humidity!
This is the second video of yours I have seen and use to live there for years. But returned back in 1990 due to health reason. Watching reminds me of what a pain it can be there but for a young man it was great at times. Enjoy!
Scotty boy, thanks so much for visually introducing me to Panglao, even if but a snapshot. It is on my short list of islands to visit when I am there in PI. You were in the White Beach area of Panglao. Had you continued down the road you would have arrived in the Alona Beach area and would have found much more available to you. Even if you decide that a particular area isn't for you remember that you're still spending money. Get around the area and get your monies worth.
regular guy if you could put map of where you’re at in the description or somewhere a link and do it so we can take a look where your at so if we like the placing we can find it thx
I feel trapped in my hostel. I've been here an hour. LOL. I think if you go to a province like area with a two way street without a motorbike it's going to be an issue. I think Scottyboy just needs city amenities during his travels. Perhaps once he settles down, quiet life will work out. Personally I would pick Bagiou due to the climate. I will have to check out the place he raves about.
Definitely, a different type of place to stay for the night! It looks like a lot of fresh air. I’ll be interested to hear how it went and to see your next vlog adventure!
Interesting how experiences can differ. I was in Bohol and Panglao a few weeks ago and I noticed that accommodation was more expensive, and you get less. Aside from that I LOVED it, had an absolute blast!
The hot water riddle...in a condo, upon complaining that the instant hot water heater wasn't working for the shower, the Housekeeper explained that one must turn on the basin hot tap first, then the shower on a hot setting. Shower water pressure not too good, but the heater stayed on for a good hot shower unless the setting was reduced towards a cooler stream. Who'd a thought it?
That’s what I dislike about Philippines man. When they try to charge you more. That’s why I like online bookings and apps like grab. They tell you the price beforehand so there’s no worrying about the BS.
I've stayed in rustic places like that and thoroughly enjoyed it but you definitely needs your own wheels, looks likes it's well over 1 km to the closest beach, but you're not a beach guy and that's what Panglao is all about.
🤔... 🤨 Could it be the sun 🌞 bleached, stretched out, black V-necks⁉️... 🧐 Perhaps the penny 🪙 pincher 🤏 vibes⁉️ 📳💸 🧐 It's okay Scotty me boy! We love you! Just get a bike! 🏍️ 💪😎👌 😜🤑👹🇺🇸
Im from Vancouver and i stayed there. Accomodation owner arranged for tuk tuk pickup to come to me. Also arranged for motorscooter rental to be delivered then picked up. This way is a game changer.
IT IS WHAT IT IS....the best phrase of Scottie Boy. You should change the title of the vlog.... How many times you let others scam you, charge you more than others, the room is not qualified, etc. I suppose you don't like to confront people, but still.... Other than that, I follow you from the beginning and I like your channel.
@shorelinesofandhra7941 Well it's a tourist area. Scotty Boy was only going to stay a few days. I have stayed at the Blue horizon resort. As I recall it was $25 per night. Everything that he looks for like good coffee, beer, and many different types of food is within walking distance. You can find apartments to live there, but you should have transportation to get back, and forth.
You should have gone to Alona beach. There you will find plenty of restaurants, bars and hotels. I think the place you were staying at is a very low budget place. You can definitely find nice resorts that is away from Alona beach but where the room has shower and aircon. Usually when you stay outside they tourist areas I would recommend that you rent a scooter to get around (although I would not drive in PH myself due to the complete lack of traffic regulation)
Nice video Scotty Boy and I agree with you that this place is not happening. I also didn’t care for your room as no Aircon and too rough and small. Also no babearoonies!!! Saw your interview with old dog and it was excellent.
@@ragjamrock - Damnnnn, that's a testament to the rock star personality of Scotty Boy. Now if he could just attract the babearoonies a bit more we would all be much happier. Can't wait for another stick figure video showing him with his babearoonie in the stabin cabin.
@@Regular_Guyph - It was a really good interview and you were great. Now if we could just get a stick figure video with you and a babearoonie in the stabin cabin we would be estatic.
Your definitely a city slicker. I get you, it's hard out there . I moved here to west Texas from Houston Texas. The nearest town is about 33 miles, and the city is 68 miles from me. Nothing in between. There was a store that was off the highway about 12 miles from here and the 20 oz sodas were $4 Dollar what a rip off. Go to dollar tree and get them for $1.25 Convenience is a must for most people. I woold jump on a trike and take a tour of the town first.
I really think Scott needs to slow down a little and relax. Content would be really good if he got in conversation with people instead of the constant running around going no where. Maybe it's just his personality ** edit... you should have read my last comment on the previous video. Get a motorbike
i think you like smallish towns but not tiny towns. im pretty much the same. MalayBalay has 200,000 people, im surprised, actually. i like that one the best, personally. its also an easy day trip (or a night or two stay) to CDO or Davao.
Yes the Hostel was well interesting. Was that right your hut didn't have a bathroom? I guess they had like one bath house every one shared? About as close Scottie will ever get to camping? Yes looked like they had a online price and a regular price for the Regular Guy.
There is new channel called Expat Thrash with just eight videos but really exploding in views and subs. World Zoom, Uncle Jessie, Jasper, etc. have been included in their cover. Some commenters have suggested that you be included in their vids due to your constant reference to women and college girls.
Yes, Thailand is probably more expensive but at what point do you say Philly is a sh*thole? Even in a small community like that, there would have been multiple places to hang out and eat and or drink, not to mention food vendors as well had it been in Thailand. Have watched several of your videos so far over the past week or two and gotta say I'm not impressed with the Philippines. Would take a lot of getting used to after Thailand...or even Vietnam. Laos and Cambodia even have it beat.
Sorry you didn't enjoy your choice of place to stay. Conversely, you chose to stay at a place billed as a farm - think rural, mod cons likely to be absent. Agoda or any other site would have booked you faster, cheaper, and given you distances to all facilities, even if you did not use them to book. In the heat of things, like Alona beach, expect to pay for what you get, beach front is in demand, because that;s the charm of Panglao, thus the price is out of your budget. By the by, the stunned mullet reaction from the bike riders is more likely to be lack of understanding than not knowing where to eat. a) they tend stop thinking when faced with an English conversation (see how they all avoided being the one to answer you?) and b) they are thinking where the foreigner would enjoy, because your question was non specific for them. Happy travels - Asa ko makakaon? where can I eat :)
I get the impression in your last two videos that you’re getting a bit worn out. Be assured that what you’re doing is of great help to travellers who are following in your footsteps
Bohol Coco Farm looks nice, plus the price is right. What do you use to check prices online, agoda? Why not go for shared dorm style rooms, even cheaper at around 400 pesos/night? Agoda is showing even cheaper at Gaeas Apartments for 258 php/night. Going super cheap, dorm, hostel style could make things interesting.
Sorry to hear your transportation woes. But I couldn't help but think the area around Bohol is much closer to being similar to the US, compared to much of the rest of the Philippines (and assume Canada too).... That is, if you dont have private means of transportation you are kind of screwed as it is to far to walk anywhere.. As an American, almost everyone I know has their own car, motorcycle, etc., most multiple ones. I know that is a bit different in the largest cities, still, the rest of the country is just like this.
From most tropical islands around the world, it's philly willy time. And never take hotel recomendation from locals - they book to live inside the hotel compund for a few days hence a lot of non sense facilities = philly willy, whilst a foreigner only uses it to sleep then goes out for an adventure.
the demographics is a lot different to those who are on feet versus those who have transportation. If I was on foot I probably would have the same issues as you Scottie ! Oh well nothing ventured nothing gained!
The number one tip I can offer in the Philippines from my experience is patience. Lots and lots of patience.
Amen to that
Agreed.. it's a good opportunity to practice patience
Nothing happens in an orderly, efficient or logical way....
Yes sir and one thing I don't possess. It's nice living I a place where things are the way they are suppose to be regarding rules and laws. I do appreciate living in a small town in Tennessee.

Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s working.

Panglao is nice, however it is not a big city. It has its main section, then the rest is more country, tropical setting. It is known for Alona Beach and all the hotels/resorts that are on the beach front. It is also overpriced because of all the tourists that are there. Nice place to visit, and hang out at the beach, but for me not a long term living area. Another area that became touristy and pricy.
Province life isn't for you Scotty Boy. Some people see peace and relaxation; others see inconvenience and boredom.
Haha Scotty boy, it was kinda hilarious when you were feeling frustrated but the views were STUNNING at the same time. That "hostel" looked beautiful and that walk to main road was gorgeous. But yeah, the whole thing felt kinda impractical in terms of walking distance access to food and such. Cool adventure though! Would be nice if the hostel or hotel or whatever at least provided bicycles and a map of exactly what's nearby for food and cool shit to check out.
I know you were frustrated on this stop, but watching your successes and failures really do help the rest of us in planning our own adventures... Keep them coming my good man.

I live in Vancouver and I just recently came across your channel. Now, I'm hooked. Never thought I had an addictive personality, until now. 😉
My wife is from Bohol. Tagbilaran and the Aloha Beach area are awesome. Lots of accommodations. Outside of there it is hard to find anything to stay in or anywhere to eat. Buenavista is nice and there are restaurants there but not much more. But the beachs at Bohol are a hidden oasis! Absolutely amazing and beautiful.
I guess you are NOT interested in meeting someone really special. Have not heard back from you after several text.
No worries
I guess the word "Hostel" should have been the first Red flag!
I think Scotty saw 'cheap' - to be fair he said it was recommended by a sub
@@jimalvir5866 Indeed. Nothing wrong with that, but don't hostels kinda cater to backpacking types? Inherently meaning cheap.

What's wrong with saving a little money here and there. Besides Bohol seems an expensive island.

Hooray I’m so excited, a new vlog from Scotty Boy!!!
the great Mitchell
@@Regular_GuyphScotty, that made my day, my whole week! You are the great Scotty!!! 😊
9:25 minutes of the video: It would seem Dave the subscriber who recommended the place to stay doesn't know Scottie Boy very well! On the other hand Scottie Boy should know that Panglao is a beach resort Island that's pretty spread out countryside style place (province town). I don't see Scottie Boy living in the province even though he say's he would live in the province. He needs a town with a main drag with everything on it and lots of people walking around.
If u can drive.... Rent a bike right out of the ferry when in Bohol. You get independence, freedom and save money (300p/day) that's my 2 cents😅
Sound advice
This whole video exemplifies all the daily nonsense one experiences in the Phillie! Things take forever, endless misinformation, asking a simple question like "where's a restaurant" returns a dead stare as if you asked how to split an atom. It often times returns misinformation like we see with Scotty-boy all the time. Couple that with stifling heat and humidity, the lack of reliable infrastructure and it reminds me of all the reasons why I have no desire to return.
Remember, you are only a guest there. Don't visit the Philippines and expect things to be like in the US.
Can you be specific?

@@garyzies3486 I've traveled and lived in many places around the planet including the Phillie. I'm 56 years old and for 25 years of that has been living abroad and various. I traveled out of a suitcase for a year before there was the internet. Much of that was in less developed countries. I've been spending a lot of time and Mexico, Central America and South America and I'm much more prefer their brand of bullshit. I'm American and I can no longer tolerate the bullshit here I'm plotting my plan to move on. The Phillie is not on my shortlist.
There's something about the Phillie that is unique in its dysfunction that does not work for me. I love the people and I love the culture. I just don't like it's brand of rigmarole. Mind you I haven't been there for 10 so perhaps things have changed but not from what I can tell with vloggers like Scotty. I can't say if you want to settle down in the province with a nice babaroonie and live is simple in the province it's one of the most affordable places to do so.
Scott. ... don't let the local trikes or jeepneys dictate your perception of a place..
Its natural that being in the city makes it easier to see places and attractions..
But if you rent a scooter for yourself...
The place will open up better and much faster.. And your researching for places to live eat and the social opportunities you are seeking.
Keep up the good work ...
When I move there..
I'm buying a scooter 🛵 right away..
My mobility is part of my freedom and enjoyment of being there..
It saves the hassle
The Honda Click 150 or 160 cc is under $2000.00
The other models for 160cc are over $3000.00
The Honda Click is very reliable economical and enough power to move your 6 foot tall body around..
Anyway.. I hope this help
Also when you get the bigger bucks.
Buying a Isuzu or Toyota pu are around $20000.00 k
40k cheaper than 🇺🇸
You are experiencing, and recording what many of us did back in the day. Hopefully your viewers will understand how it can be in most provinces. First time I went to my ex-wife's village we stayed in Escalante, Negros. 4 hr bus ride turned into 6hrs, no aircon and worn-out seats hard as rocks. Arrived at about 8pm, just in time to check in.... the whole town shuts down at 8pm, hotel restaurant closed at 6pm, the time we should have arrived. But you already know about buses and vans making several stops on the way to the destination. Hungry, tired, and sore from a bad back, only to find out the plaza was closed, no 7/11 in town, no quicky mart in town, not even a sori-sori store open. Lucky for us her school friend came over to visit and brought some chips and a chocolate bar. Watching you gripe and be over it, brings back flashbacks and I start cracking up. Just remember, I'TS MORE FUN IN THE FILIPINES! Thanks for the laughs and entertainment. Liked and always a loyal subscriber.
Try Calubian, Leyte. Go down on the waterfront and eat good at Cynthia and JessaBell restaurant. Most beautiful town in the Philippines. And Cynthia is drop-dead gorgeous and still single at 25.. No kids. You can rent a nice bedroom apartment with an outdoor Community Kitchen for $60 a month. 35000 friendly people Village. Lots of reasonable transportation. Beautiful mountains go right down to the seà. Beautiful beach and deep water port. Tell Cynthia I sent you. She is my wife's best friend since grade school and has her own new motorcycle. Her dad also own another restaurant on the Waterfront. I've got some excellent pictures of this town. Is there anyway I can send them to you?
Yes and don't forget the banking experience just to buy pesos with US dollars where each banknote has to be inspected and any torn or defaced ones rejected, taking maybe an hour.
If you are looking for good deals in the Philippines first check where Monsoon's strike the hardest, land is cheap there. Next look for areas that Typhoons come to shore, land there is also cheap. Next determine in which direction lava flows and large cracks exist in the earth's crust, you will also fine cheap land in those provinces. Ohh yes and also inquire when will be the next tsunami so you can plan to sell accordingly. Also they'll let you buy it but not tell you unless you marry a Filipino and your wife's names not on the title, you can't sell it. PS: barking dogs, roosters and termites will destroy your life. This place is worse than a Baltimore Ghetto, you can go there and stay for free.
You previously said you'd like to get a girl and settle down in a grass hut in the province. Guess this is good training?🤣
@@phoenix2529 Like what? I've been a Subscriber to Scott's channel since March of 2022, when he had 4 videos and 88 subs. Perhaps you're a newer member and haven't heard him say so, but before he returned to the Phils in March of 2023, a year and thousands of subs AFTER I joined, he would comment about his dream of settling down in the province and living a simple life. Just gigging him about complaining about the "Rustic" nature the place he was staying in. When Scott started having lives in May of 2022, there would be like 10 people at most, so we had many conversations long before his channel blew up. So I'd say I know Scottyboy at least as well as any other subscriber. So it wasn't "Doing him like that" thank you very much!
@@bigjohnson7415 Does Scottyboy ever hook up? I know he's cruising the babarinos but in the 5 or 6 I've watched he's hardly had a conversation with anybody. Legit wondering, if so I'd like to watch it.
@@onpoint24.7 If he is, he's not advertising it. I'd kinda think not, but by HIS choices, as I'm sure plenty of LBFM's have made themselves available. Scottyboy is a Saint, not a Sinner!🤣🤣🤣
All because of "that's what they do in the provinces" lol.
@@johngreen1907 Yeah, I'm sure!
Panglao island is about the beaches there's some really long beautiful white-sand beaches there so if you're not staying at a beach resort or somewhere close to the beach then you should rent a scooter to get there and get back and forth to tagbilaran. So you can live near beautiful long white sand beaches for cheap in panglao and be only 15 or 20 minutes away from the city or you can live in the city and be 15 or 20 minutes away from the beach but if you just show up and stay at some little hut thats inland and have no way to get around and your not even near the beach or city then of course you're not going to like it. You missed the whole point. LOL
LOL! That walk to get a meal was so long, I figured you'd burn off all the calories walking back to your hut and be hungry again...smiles!
If you really plan to stay in a remote bamboo hut, you will need a motorcycle or a car, because you don't like to depend on slow snails, while they figure out how to use their own phone. The trike diver was waiting, but ... they don't care !
Looked like they played you at the hostel. Thank you for this learning experience.
OMG this episode was HILARIOUS to watch 😂💯👌
No but really, I think you happened to get the worst first impression of Panglao possible. I've been there myself and it's beautiful, lots of restaurants, good people, amazing beach etc. WHERE THE HELL DID YOU END UP?? This is NOT the Panglao I've experienced..
I'm not sadistic in ANY way, but to see your patience get tested like in this vid was just hilarious.. 😆
He doesn't put the time into a location to get to know it. It takes a few days to understand and to form a better opinion of a place.
@@als6308perfect summary 😅
he was only hungry too much looking for a nearby restaurants from his hostel..why he never look for a place to stay in Tawala where Alona beach is located.his hotel is in Barangay Libaong 1 barangay away from tawala province like.
It’s too bad you didn’t stay closer to the Alona beach area. I think you would have liked it.
I would assume you’d have to be in chill mode like those foreigners you bumped into. With just the heat and 3rd world dynamics one would have to slow their pace and expectations. That’s probably the best way to go about enjoying the Philippines, steady and patient.
attitude😢
Panglao is all about the beach area. You must stay there for a night. And check out the new airport. I would love to see a video including the beach area and the airport.
I think it's your personality. I can't watch you for very long and you seem to be a New York Minute in the everlasting lazy days of the tropics. I knew a guy who just wouldn't shut up once when we were around each other. I told him (after he explained to me that he was from New York) that ~ "Every second around you is lke a New York Minute and all I wanted to do was be in Hawaii again and I couldn't wait for him to leave anytime he showed up. If that's too honest just remember it took me a week to figure it out and it's HONEST !
So reminds me of my travels in the Phil’s, wondering around for up to an hour just trying to find a place to eat.
i dunno man im getting the vibe filipinos dont really like Americans. they seem like they just want your money. i mean everyone rips you off.
That’s understandable. Nobody likes Americans, not just Filipinos.
@@dannykaye4859Ouch lol 😅
I've been here 15 years. Haven't been on Alona Beach since precovid. Aggressive vendors, old, fat massage women, overpriced, but nice at night I've heard. Good luck
Did you expect anything different?
You pay what's known as the "skin tax" or "foreigner tax". I always send my girl to negotiate prices at the markets, hotels, taxis etc. because as soon as they see me, prices go WAY UP!
First comment!
Greetings from beautiful Chilliwack (Chilly Willy?) to Scotty Boy
Chilly Willy hahaaa
Yes get a virgin, no used!?🍻🍻
Sorry my “good man” my comment was 1 minute before yours. 😃
I think IMHO you need to rent a scooter to minimize your frustrations and stress. Things will not seem so terribly far away. But, in doing this you will need to be patient while getting comfortable with the scooter. By doing this you will have a blast riding around on the motor scooter and not missing so much of the real visayan region. And another thing when the college girls are checking you out, it doesn’t mean they think you’re gross…
Right... that is what I was thinking too. I actually thought those girls were checking him out like some other girls have in previous vids. Should be no different with girls in college or walking to a store downtown. Glad someone thought the same. Maybe he put that in there to create a click bate title...
Hey Scotty Boy,
I am Scotty B. I have been subscribed to you a while and watched many of your videos. I have a Thai wife. I do personally think that the Philippines is a hard place to live. Its tough getting taken advantage of all the time. So many bad traits they have with regarding work ethic, noises all night long, us having to pay two time for everything, paying for everything for their whole families. Majority fo my friends from Hawaii are pilots and they all have Thai wives. Love is over rated my man stop wasting your time. Like you say, freedom, bachelor, travel. No stress, no bull, no feeding whole neighborhoods, no anxiety. Enjoy your time just have your fun young man. Another country may be a little better to really be happy in the right situation. Never the less, good luck in your travels.

Lots of views for him. 👍🏽
You’re making a big mistake not going back out and exploring Alona beach area. We’ve already seen Tagbilaran and cute girls on the beach is much more interesting.
i have a house in Malaybalay City..and land in san fernando,Bukidnon...so i agree with selecting Malaybalay as one of the places you would like to live in...the weather in Malaybalay City is perfect and it is very cheap...the people are so hospitable as well..enjoy your trips ..be safe
Scotties earlier video has me really considering moving there. do you know any sites with rentals or anything? Id like to come for a month or so this fall to see it before making the move
Living in Davao. Well at least I have an apartment rented in Davao. Was thinking about purchasing a condo there when I get back. I am going to check out Malabalay does it have the same problem with earthquakes as devout?
@@miguelben610 How often does Davao get earthquakes?
@@johnclark8637 I arrived in DeVoe on October 6th. Broke up with my girlfriend 3 weeks later and experienced my first earthquake while I was on the 22nd floor of my luxury condo lol. I was there till March. I know there was one earthquake I didn't feel and two that I did so four and that 6 months and there was one yesterday or the day before 5.3 that my girlfriend told me about
I live in Malaybalay. No typhoons, no earthquakes, cool climate, lovely people. Good food. It's a food basket for Mindanao
I had one of those rooms in the carribean, you need a mosquito net over the bed but it usually stays cool when there is a breeze, and you get to listen to the music all night, loved it
Love the tour of the Phils. Yeah you were repeating yourself like crazy in some of those last vids. It’s ok to let some space be between your comments. Find a mix’s the that works for you.
Hit up some resorts around Alona Beach. A lot more going on there. You are correct that life is much better with a scooter when you are on Panglao. It is not the island to just show up at a random hotel and expect to find a lot going on around you... but this is the beauty of Panglao to people looking for that. Great little towns on Panglao, but they are all a bike ride away. I rode a motorcycle around the entire island in about 6 hours, taking my time, and stopping at great restaurants and beaches around the island. I love Panglao and slightly dislike Tagbilaren, so I guess it all depends what you are looking for. Doljo beach has the most star fish I have ever seen in my life. Poblacion has a great restaurant (La Familia), and some little shops around. Maybe you are trying to do city style touring in the country side. Gotta know when you need your own wheels and when it is ok to take tuktuk all over. They'd probably help you rent a bike if you ask them.
I think the whole point of going to Panglao is to hang out on Alona Beach. "Let your feet race, your mind need not" ~ Lord Byron.
I really got a laugh at the faces those college girls made. "I want a Chinese sugar daddy. This guy is just an American, or worse maybe a Canadian." LOL! Love the channel. Edit: Your experience at the hostel was hilarious, boosted by the comments at the bottom. I made the mistake of eating while watching and I almost choked at the comment about the Tuk Tuk driver owning his vehicle. That level of small talk is priceless!
problem is the words , like example my buddy they look you like crazy. need used low English . try not to used words that are reg used in the west because in they might not understand them in a Asia . used common basic words . get along a lot better .used words not used a lot are never in the Philippine's look at you think your better then they are .
I think their look was that guy is to big for us. 😅
They really want bts or men who look like bts lol trust me
@@hillbillyintheasia6122 I guess English is not your native language.
I just saw a YT video this morning from 3 filipinas in Bohol. They said they saw a handsome white man and discussed how they could “lift him up”
you got a link to that brother? for research and scientific purposes obvio :)

Well said.
This guy was interviewed by Old Dog in Duma. He said that he is waiting for the “perfect Filipina girl in the right location”…. Of course, he will never find one. He is the one who needs “lifting up”. Meanwhile, in his journeys, he is out looking for gullible girls who thought he is ready to commit. Girls, beware!
😅😅😂
you didn't pay for a hotel room. You paid 950 pesos a night for filipino glamping! 🤣
I hope you still respond to comments after you reach 100k suberoonies Scotty boy
Yep going from what you say you shouldnt even consider building a house in the province, you would go mad in 5 minutes, you seem like a city boy and need lots of things happening around you.
That's funny brother look at that gross tall foreign guy. The opposite of that brief encounter those babes were checking you out dude. Correct I agree on college town to settle down or not. In the middle of nowhere that jungle hostel I would get bored quickly.
I was in Panglao few years ago. I rented a motorcycle and went to the white beach. I had a blast! ...Stay safe Scott!...
How the hell can you drink coffee all the time when its so hot and humid??? There's no damn way I would get a room with no air con. To me its torture.......got to have air con, unless of course its 75 deg with no humidity!
I agree, but would prefer 68 degrees and low humidity. Anything above that and I’m sweating and miserable.

This is the second video of yours I have seen and use to live there for years. But returned back in 1990 due to health reason. Watching reminds me of what a pain it can be there but for a young man it was great at times. Enjoy!
Wow you were there in the good ol days
Scotty boy, thanks so much for visually introducing me to Panglao, even if but a snapshot. It is on my short list of islands to visit when I am there in PI.
You were in the White Beach area of Panglao. Had you continued down the road you would have arrived in the Alona Beach area and would have found much more available to you. Even if you decide that a particular area isn't for you remember that you're still spending money. Get around the area and get your monies worth.
regular guy if you could put map of where you’re at in the description or somewhere a link and do it so we can take a look where your at so if we like the placing we can find it thx
I feel trapped in my hostel. I've been here an hour. LOL. I think if you go to a province like area with a two way street without a motorbike it's going to be an issue. I think Scottyboy just needs city amenities during his travels. Perhaps once he settles down, quiet life will work out. Personally I would pick Bagiou due to the climate. I will have to check out the place he raves about.
Definitely, a different type of place to stay for the night! It looks like a lot of fresh air. I’ll be interested to hear how it went and to see your next vlog adventure!
This account is scottys fake account 👆
@@smurfhits5688 I really think Scotty is a great guy for many reasons! My account has been active 11 years.
Interesting how experiences can differ. I was in Bohol and Panglao a few weeks ago and I noticed that accommodation was more expensive, and you get less. Aside from that I LOVED it, had an absolute blast!
Yes, they are making up for the debt. They incurred during the pandemic
My great man…where is the Alona Beach footage? You were right there 🤦♂️
The hot water riddle...in a condo, upon complaining that the instant hot water heater wasn't working for the shower, the Housekeeper explained that one must turn on the basin hot tap first, then the shower on a hot setting. Shower water pressure not too good, but the heater stayed on for a good hot shower unless the setting was reduced towards a cooler stream. Who'd a thought it?
Just to note how much I am enjoying ur videos - thank you so much for sharing
950 per night? Tell 'em they're dreaming.
It's one of the cheapest you can get in that area. Rooms at the Beach easily go for 200-300 bucks a night.
@@MMAPROFIGHTER Most landlords go for at least 6 months. If you want a month rental, AirBnb is your best bet.
What? - that’s a long walk to have something to eat my friend Scotty boy- the place is simple, spacious and unique 👋
That’s what I dislike about Philippines man. When they try to charge you more. That’s why I like online bookings and apps like grab. They tell you the price beforehand so there’s no worrying about the BS.
I've stayed in rustic places like that and thoroughly enjoyed it but you definitely needs your own wheels, looks likes it's well over 1 km to the closest beach, but you're not a beach guy and that's what Panglao is all about.
Worst case scenario situations... Scottie, one of the best 👍💯

Im from Vancouver and i stayed there. Accomodation owner arranged for tuk tuk pickup to come to me. Also arranged for motorscooter rental to be delivered then picked up. This way is a game changer.
IT IS WHAT IT IS....the best phrase of Scottie Boy.
You should change the title of the vlog....
How many times you let others scam you, charge you more than others,
the room is not qualified, etc.
I suppose you don't like to confront people, but still....
Other than that, I follow you from the beginning and I like your channel.
Use the Bisaya phrase for it: "Bahala na"
Because college girls are educated. :-}
The price you pay for being a spur of the moment kind of guy. Alona has everything you need.
@shorelinesofandhra7941 Well it's a tourist area. Scotty Boy was only going to stay a few days. I have stayed at the Blue horizon resort. As I recall it was $25 per night. Everything that he looks for like good coffee, beer, and many different types of food is within walking distance. You can find apartments to live there, but you should have transportation to get back, and forth.
You should have gone to Alona beach. There you will find plenty of restaurants, bars and hotels.
I think the place you were staying at is a very low budget place.
You can definitely find nice resorts that is away from Alona beach but where the room has shower and aircon.
Usually when you stay outside they tourist areas I would recommend that you rent a scooter to get around (although I would not drive in PH myself due to the complete lack of traffic regulation)
Can’t believe he didn’t even go to Alona Beach 🤦♂️
Scottie doesn't like to pay tourist prices. Everyone knows that Alona Beach is expensive, no matter what you do, eat or see.
Nice video Scotty Boy and I agree with you that this place is not happening. I also didn’t care for your room as no Aircon and too rough and small. Also no babearoonies!!! Saw your interview with old dog and it was excellent.
hey Rona thanks for watching the old dog interview
You're gonna make the Old Dog 🤑 it's at 39k views already!😮,🏝️
@@ragjamrock - Damnnnn, that's a testament to the rock star personality of Scotty Boy. Now if he could just attract the babearoonies a bit more we would all be much happier. Can't wait for another stick figure video showing him with his babearoonie in the stabin cabin.

people take heed, this is how not to do, but it does make for an entertaining vlog
You hit the nail on the head
Your definitely a city slicker. I get you, it's hard out there .
I moved here to west Texas from Houston Texas. The nearest town is about 33 miles, and the city is 68 miles from me. Nothing in between. There was a store that was off the highway about 12 miles from here and the 20 oz sodas were $4 Dollar what a rip off. Go to dollar tree and get them for $1.25 Convenience is a must for most people. I woold jump on a trike and take a tour of the town first.
if you stayed at any resort or accomodation near(walking distance) alona beach then your experience might have been different
It's out of Scotty Boy's price range!
I really think Scott needs to slow down a little and relax. Content would be really good if he got in conversation with people instead of the constant running around going no where. Maybe it's just his personality
** edit... you should have read my last comment on the previous video. Get a motorbike
maybe they saw the camera angle at 2:32
hahahaha
Scotty Boy is getting so picky these days. He was so happy in a hut/kubo before. Not anymore😥
Bohol seems more expensive for like no reason.
It's tiring finding the perfect (for me) place to live
@Regular_Guyph I understand. Too much traveling is fraying your nerves. Just relax somewhere for a week or two.
@@patrickmunneke8348 that's exactly what I want
Next time on Panglao check out the Blue Planet near the airport. Only 10 rooms, pool, restaurant, air con, WiFi.
I am sure it will be too expensive for Scotty boy......
It's at least 3K pesos per night....out of Scotty Boy's price range.
i think you like smallish towns but not tiny towns. im pretty much the same. MalayBalay has 200,000 people, im surprised, actually. i like that one the best, personally. its also an easy day trip (or a night or two stay) to CDO or Davao.
Yes the Hostel was well interesting. Was that right your hut didn't have a bathroom? I guess they had like one bath house every one shared? About as close Scottie will ever get to camping? Yes looked like they had a online price and a regular price for the Regular Guy.
There is new channel called Expat Thrash with just eight videos but really exploding in views and subs. World Zoom, Uncle Jessie, Jasper, etc. have been included in their cover. Some commenters have suggested that you be included in their vids due to your constant reference to women and college girls.
I looked for this, and nothing came up, but a few videos under the heading Expat trash.
Do you happen to have a link?
@@dbuck1964
@ExpatTrashofthePhilippines@@dbuck1964
Yes, Thailand is probably more expensive but at what point do you say Philly is a sh*thole? Even in a small community like that, there would have been multiple places to hang out and eat and or drink, not to mention food vendors as well had it been in Thailand. Have watched several of your videos so far over the past week or two and gotta say I'm not impressed with the Philippines. Would take a lot of getting used to after Thailand...or even Vietnam. Laos and Cambodia even have it beat.
Thailand 🇹🇭 has heaps of better accommodation then the Phillipines and better value for money 💵 😂 !
I am not sure if you are aware but the UA-cam channel “Expat Trash of the Philippines” shows your channel in the Content short for that channel.
Yes but luckily no actual video
Sorry you didn't enjoy your choice of place to stay. Conversely, you chose to stay at a place billed as a farm - think rural, mod cons likely to be absent. Agoda or any other site would have booked you faster, cheaper, and given you distances to all facilities, even if you did not use them to book. In the heat of things, like Alona beach, expect to pay for what you get, beach front is in demand, because that;s the charm of Panglao, thus the price is out of your budget. By the by, the stunned mullet reaction from the bike riders is more likely to be lack of understanding than not knowing where to eat. a) they tend stop thinking when faced with an English conversation (see how they all avoided being the one to answer you?) and b) they are thinking where the foreigner would enjoy, because your question was non specific for them. Happy travels - Asa ko makakaon? where can I eat :)
I get the impression in your last two videos that you’re getting a bit worn out. Be assured that what you’re doing is of great help to travellers who are following in your footsteps
Fascinating you liked CDO .. I spent a few days there and I hated it.. but that was in 2009 or some shit. I should check it out again.
I stayed in CDO for 2 weeks and loved it but that was 2016
Bohol Coco Farm looks nice, plus the price is right. What do you use to check prices online, agoda? Why not go for shared dorm style rooms, even cheaper at around 400 pesos/night? Agoda is showing even cheaper at Gaeas Apartments for 258 php/night. Going super cheap, dorm, hostel style could make things interesting.
Yes the cheaper price is the shared rooms
Sorry to hear your transportation woes. But I couldn't help but think the area around Bohol is much closer to being similar to the US, compared to much of the rest of the Philippines (and assume Canada too).... That is, if you dont have private means of transportation you are kind of screwed as it is to far to walk anywhere.. As an American, almost everyone I know has their own car, motorcycle, etc., most multiple ones. I know that is a bit different in the largest cities, still, the rest of the country is just like this.
Damn that first one who said you were Pangit looked like a spitten image of my wife.
From most tropical islands around the world, it's philly willy time. And never take hotel recomendation from locals - they book to live inside the hotel compund for a few days hence a lot of non sense facilities = philly willy, whilst a foreigner only uses it to sleep then goes out for an adventure.
This is a place where people go to not be found.

Thx4share interesting content of beautiful Panglao,Scotty 👍

the demographics is a lot different to those who are on feet versus those who have transportation. If I was on foot I probably would have the same issues as you Scottie ! Oh well nothing ventured nothing gained!
