I live in Thailand. Food is delicious. There are so many fresh fruits and vegetables available in markets and it's easy to eat healthy here. There are many foreign and local restaurants and very reasonable prices. This is the number 2 reason I did not move to PI.
Hotels and home/condo rents are very reasonable cost (for now) and it's easy to find nice places to live. Most have good internet and AC. This is the number 4 reason I did not move to PI
Language is a problem, fewer thais speak english, but I can see more thais making an effort to learn...its in their best interest.
think ... you are very familiar with the Filipino people.
You don't know thailand well enough.
,if Philippines is a developed country., you will not to compare thailand with Philippines like that? ,Because you promote your Country you live. have a foreigner living in Thailand. They promote, and encourage them to come to Thailand. like you do, But they never took any country to compare.
