    I gave the PI a chance. There was just a sense to me that they were scamming me at every turn. I looked at Condo's that were not very nice and smelled like mold. They wanted 2 months deposit. Which is a scam. and they were overpriced for what they were. I felt very comfortable in Thailand and did not run into these problems.

      Definitely Thailand has better Condos and it's more modern in the larger tourist areas. Easy to get medicine at local pharmacies.

      So true. No scammers and lots of people speak English in Thailand too so it's a good destination for retirement.

    You don't need to waste your money to cross over to Bohol for the white sandy beach because Cebu has a lot more white sandy beaches with more beautiful and bluer turquoise water. Some foreigners opt to hop over to Bohol from Cebu City for the beach simply because it's quicker but they actually spend more just by traveling alone. Geeting to Panglao's white sand beach from the Tagbilaran port cost a lot more for a very uncomfortable tricycle ride. Cebu has Bantayan Island and Malapascua Island if they want white sandy beach but less costly and less crowded but more beautiful and longer stretched of white sandy beach. Plus they get the opportunity to explore the entire Bantayan island via scooter or motorbike crisscrossing its scenic and lush country roads, mostly well-paved.

    An addition to my previous comment.
    I noticed also that Calvin stated that his birthday is on August, like mine,..so he must be a "Leo" like myself.😅
    I also agree with you Mike when you said that it's better when go to live in the Philippines has younger has you can,.. therefore you can do severall things and get around better, obviously.
    Myself,..I'm "waiting" for a couple more years before I can retire so I can "join" you guys there.
    Thanks and keep up the great work Mike.

Beaches, water falls and mountains. . . Was that enough dancing ? ....lol...Also it is nice to have conversation with an agreeable, feminine attractive Lady.
