But my trips to Thailand & The Philippines were the best! So much so I married a beautiful thick Filipina car model now turned school teacher.

    I went to Phuket Thailand while I was stationed in Korea in 2017. Thailand is my favorite place on the planet and the people there were amazing. Being a black man in Asia I was treated like a mall Santa. Everywhere I sat down, the people would line up to take pictures with me. I felt this weird sensation of not only acceptance but LOVE coming from everyone around me and I say weird because I grew up in the South and this was the total opposite. It felt like Racism didn't have a passport and wasn't allowed in Thailand. I stayed for 10 days and smiled like a kid the whole time. I didn't get to go to the Philippines because of the government lockdown. After experiencing that, the Army sent me and my family to Ft. Rucker ALABAMA. Fucking ALABAMA. The total opposite of Thailand. My wife and I talked about moving there after I retire in June 2022. I love Thailand.

    I lived in Thailand for five years of my life in my thirties. I miss it, I love Thailand, the food the people the mountains, beaches. Coming from New Orleans it changed my life, my thought process, what its like to be treated as a human being, being able to just smile for no reason and be happy. The women is a conversations for another day, I almost married a Thai but after the break up I went to Colombia the rest is history. I will say this my Colombian wife LOVES Thailand just as much as i do. She wasn't so jealous there she felt like the women there were respectful. I love the channel, the vibe and how you presented in the video I'm now subscribed. Peace to you Zoom.

    Love the videos. I come from the perspective of having spent most of my time in the Philippines so I might be biased there. I’ve only been a couple times to Thailand, specifically Bangkok. I definitely want to visit other parts of Thailand. Gotta get past all this Covid stuff because I’m going thru withdrawal not being able to get back to the Philippines. Only thing I might differ with you is the food. I think it’s pretty much a tie. I mean, if we’re talking about filipino food versus Thai, they’re both different and both incredible. I lean towards filipino because I’m married to one and I have a lot of experience eating filipino food. As far as other foods seems to me I’ve found every food imaginable in the Philippines. I don’t recall other foods in Thailand because out there I’m pretty much only looking for Thai food. You’re right about property in the Philippines but it’s getting easier for foreigners to buy condos. I have the luxury of my wife being from there so we have a condo in Manila and a beach house in the province. Anyway, what’s up to you being from Inglewood! I’m from LA! Appreciate what you do!

    Your housing rental vs buying segment is spot on! I tell most folks it's better for them to rent; unless they're married and interested in looking out for the future of their family...as I would think most would be. I bought a home in the Philippines, but it was for my wife and daughter that I did so. If I were a single man or simply dating only I would only rent for sure.

    Great video as usual. Bro might I suggest that you make a video covering laws, punishment and what’s not tolerated in The Philippines and Thailand. I have a feeling that there might be a few Pookie & Ray Rays that might also be inspired by you but think they can bring their same lifestyle over to these places. They need to know that the same thing they can get away with in the US will not be tolerated in these places whatsoever. The Philippines and Thailand have no problem deporting people or in quite a few cases putting anyone to death who brings that type of mentality to their countries. Most notably drugs, public disturbances, abusing women, making someone “lose face” or any form of disrespect is a huge no no. In a lot of situations, the locals handle it themselves. They need to know that if they do any of these things they will most likely be going home in a body bag and many of those cases go unsolved because it’s a foreigner. The Filipinos and Thais are nice people but don’t get it twisted, that niceness can quickly turn into ruthlessness if they feel disrespected. It’s happened countless times and usually the foreigner pays with their life. I just think they should know: Leave the ninja ish back home and respect the culture!

I was going to the Philippines for 8 weeks because I've just had it with the BS here in the states and needed to charge my inner soul. But Covid-19 became a worldwide pandemic and I felt it was safe to stay here in the United States when I probably would've been safer in Asia as they're not crying over wearing a Mask.
