    I decided to make a move to manila it wasnt a easy decision but after my first day in Manila and the energy of the place it made me feel a lot better. Its always fun in the Philippines and maybe alot of me moving back here actually has to do with the hospitality and friendlieness of the Filipinos

      except we all know what Poblacion Makati looks like. Vloggers go there all the time. It's the redlight district, afterall. But what about the nice part of Makati? It's as big as BGC and almost as nice, but we hardly ever see vloggers go there.

      well if you have been to PI its a sheet hole in a lot of places. Medical care is poor. Electricity is a after thought. water can stop. traffic is horrendious. If i go back it will be in places like bgc. why i deserve to live like that and would. I can always go slumming in some barangay but then sleep in a developed home. I lived in asia 2 times as an expat. quality f life is important, as one ages medical moves to the forefront. Ever hear chickens noise, pigs squeeking, motorcycles load with NO exhaust. Sit in traffic, get out of taxi and go to a mall untill traffic subsides thats nuts..It gets old. save your monies goto a nice place life is short

The same types live here in the UK but come from Muslim countries. I bet you complain about those immigrants yet you are one of those immigrants too.

      Lived in both myself too as was stationed to my company Manila office for 3 years and later did 2.5 years in Bangkok. Didn't find it all fake smiles in Thailand at all to be honest, quite the reverse. I found people in the Philippines for sure very friendly. So both great in that regard I found. Both places have their plusses and minuses but personally I much preferred Thailand on balance due to the food and Thai culture and accomodation.
      That said I'm now retired and chose neither as I went with Malaysia as it edges both for me in the things I care about.
      Its all subjective of course
