Living in paradise in an Asian city. Why do young foreigners decide to leave the west to live in Asia? Why do expats retire to Thailand or the Philippines? Why do they choose a big city rather than the province? How do people/retirees spend their time? Retiring in Asia how would you spend your remaining time on earth?
In this video I compare the two countries whilst considering Streetlife, Religion, Property, Food, Cost of Living, Visas, Dating, Transport, Nightlife, Galleries, Parks, Weather, Air Quality, People and Language.
Low cost of living, diversity, culture, weather, food, scenery, long visas entice foreigners to live in the Philippines. Filipinos are welcome and warm people. Filipinos are often regarded as the most friendliest nation in Asia and nicest people in the world. English is widely spoken throughout the country. The Philippines is included in the top ten English speaking countries in the world. The majority of Filipinos are highly proficient in English, so it is very easy to strike up a conversation and make new friends, but so last century. When you’re there you feel like you’re stuck in an 80s/90s time warp with the old skool music blaring out and the outdated infrastructure.
Cebu is a vibrant Asian city and favorite travel destination in Asia. Cebu has the best of both world – combining the city life of shopping malls and nightlife with beaches and paradise islands. The Philippines should be on everyone’s bucket list with its beautiful white sand beaches, fabulous idyllic islands, turquoise sea and stunning scenery. The Philippines is a traveller’s paradise and regularly included in top ten favorite places to visit in Asia and affordable, favorite world holiday destination.
Many foreigners/expats choose the Philippines as the best country to retire in Asia and live in paradise. The Philippines is one of the cheapest countries to live in the world with its low cost of living and all year sunshine. Retiring in the Philippines is affordable on a budget of around $520 pcm.

Very good summary. It certainly matches my experiences in both countries.
The other thing I would add as a plus for Thailand is that it has far better infrastructure and that includes internet.
The Phillipines seems a lot more third world, for lack of a better term.
Keep up the high quality vids.
Thanks, always enjoy your videos
Philip: FYI I got lucky because of my Military service so my SRRV only cost $1,400 USD for process and $1,500 USD Deposit in escrow Bank. So I guess all that rubbish I put up with in the Military paid off for something
