That’s why many filipino teachers prefer to go to Thailand. The salary is higher and the cost of living is cheaper plus the health benefits is also ok. 👌🏻
@@dantesalazar7805 higher than here in the Philippines but lesser compared to other nationalities. I’ve heard from my other colleagues that the pay for Filipino teachers in Thailand is different compared to other nationalities. But I don’t blame Thailand for that coz filipinos are desperate to find a job with a decent salary.
@@dantesalazar7805 yes and they also said that few years back, Thailand used to offer higher salary but some fellow Filipinos tend to accept lower offers that’s why through the years the offer went down. It’s also happening in Taiwan now.
Awesome Vlog as usual ! Very informative and helpful indeed …quality content as always ! Good stuff 👍🏻 Thanks for sharing and have a smashing weekend..stay safe and blessed
You got yourself a bargain. I'm probably doing something wrong or looking in the wrong places but I haven't been able to find a 2 bedroom condo that nice in Bangkok for 500 a month.
Check out China town. At night or some nights they block off streets and all the restaurant's open up to the sidewalks for street food. Looks like it could be fun.
Mergim can you do a vlog on the moovers in BGC. how they work. how you use them and pay to use them what choices there are and the restrictions in using them thank you.
Wow , Great unit for the price . But I'm surprised you didn't rent in XT Ekkamai with all the Extra's and the roof top 50 meter pool and outdoor Cinema - I've shown that Video to many Friends. Glad to see You back in Thailand. Your coverage of the Philippines was "Excellent". I use to visit married friends there from 2005 to 2012 2 to 3 times a year. Plan on visiting Bangkok this Fall.
Enjoying your channel loving the prices for 2 bedroom condos. Using Thailand as my home base to doing business in Asia Ill be there in January 2024 hopefully we can linking up and share some Cognac and Dominican Cigar
Mergim, you've been living in Bangkok and Manila, I think it would be perfect if you then move to Jakarta. Those three are 3 largest metropolis and most populous cities in Southeast Asia, each one of them has its own pros and cons. I hope you read my comments, thank you. Just a suggestion.
I agree...I am Filipino and I appreciate if you could move to Jakarta and do some reviews too...It would benefit mostly the expats, and the country's tourism, of course
You say 500, but when you go on the website the cheapest condo at the siamese is 40k for a dinky 1 bedroom. You must be able to get a MUCH lower price in person than online I reckon?
Yeah, Thailand I think has ALOT of negotiation there, they are so weak in Thailand, they will do anything to win over visitors to stay there, including gutting prices to the ground; I dont even understand it.
Bangkok is a lot more diverse compared to Manila. When I was there, I had biryani at a Yemeni restaurant in the Arab quarter which was the best biryani I've ever had in my life. BGC is an awesome place to live though so if you can afford it, not a bad idea to be based in BGC and travel around Asia.
@@El_.5794 Only certain parts of Makati and BGC? I don't think u have been to Manila. Thailand is way way better??? and yet Bangkok has no proper CBD. Funny.
@@El_.5794 Poor uninformed soul thinks Makati and BGC are the only places in PH, sad for you. Lol, you really think an ordinary Thai is affording 500 USD per month? Lol, what a delusional person you are.
Oh thats why you dont have upload 4 how many days cuz you are in thailand already i thought your in bagiuo mergim cuz i saw your short video wearing tribal costumes.
I was thinking maybe mergim lost his passion for making and uploading videos.he doesn’t uplaod as often as before.if one day mergim doesn’t upload his videos anymore I’ll be damned sad.what is happening bro?
It's because the property market in Thailand is down for a couple of years now. Some Singaporeans and Malaysians regret investing in Thailand. Best to invest in property now are Philippines and Malaysia
@@El_.5794 Relax, it's just my sarcastic expression especially to some sensitive Filipinos who will react to this content. You're relatively correct, it's Mergim's right to explore other countries✌✌✌
Shoot no brainer, I would choose Thailand for cheap monthly rentals and lower cost of living. That’s why most foreigners would probably go2 Thailand. The difference though is the not so pleasing to the eyes…garden view or is that a park? I have to say BGC and Makati have stunning parks. Mergim are you thinking of moving back to Thailand? I have noticed your videos are not getting a lot of views. Your subs are not getting any higher like it used to. I don’t blame you if you go back to Thailand. Your money goes further compare to the 🇵🇭.
@@El_.5794Idk why his channel is not making any progress? Jonathan’s channel Travel Escapes has 103k subs. He moved to the 🇵🇭 from Thailand about the same time with less subscribers.
@@amaliahightower kasi Jonatah is more on "masa appeal" even Living abroad reached 100k plus subs These two guys are masa appeal they interviewed people on the street specially Lving Abroad. Pero mas gusto ang stye ni Mergim hahaha yon nga lang kapag nasa thailand sya hindi ako nanonood hahahah
For this time Bangkok wins over MANILA, but wait after 8 to 10 years Im sure Manila will win because as of now to many reclamation in Manila Bay are now being done, The Manila Horizon City, The Solar City, and many more. Also soon by 2028 Philippines will have the biggest and modern Airport in Asia and its located in Bulacan about 1 1/2 hours from Manila. Lastly a Subway train is now being built in Manila. As of now to many infrastructure are now being done by the government because of the build build build program.
@@dondennis1814Bangkok has no proper CBDs also its scattered and not organized, low highrises, not well planned as compare to the CBDs of MANILA like MAKATI, BGC , Ortigas and ect. how much more if MANILA on going projects in line with infrastructures, transportation, another smart city being build at Manila Bay. Manila would really looks stunning and well developed.
I lived in California for over thirty five years and now live in Texas. I can tell you that the same retail jobs pay $1 5k to $20k more in CA. I also found that services here in TX are more than in CA. Restaurants are more expensive in TX in my experience as well. Property taxes supplement the state having no state tax. Homes that cost $600k four years ago are $950k to $1 M in the North Dallas area. So, unless you move to rural areas, the cost of homes has changed in the last five years. My neighbor bought his home two years before us for half the price. I think people are working with outdated information when it comes to TX being cheap. Not any more. Make sure you do some investment while seating at home. All thanks to Mrs Sophia She's really help me my small investment capital of $10k to earn $157k every month all thanks to Mrs Sophia My life savior
Why you all guys move in Thailand if you think perfect to live. Everything perfect and beautiful. Only those people who wants a simple life can live in Philippines.
Transportation is better, I'm not sure if food is better though, but my sis and aunt said it's like they just went to the Philippines but the vendor policy is way better in Thailand compared to Manila but as Mergim said Philippines is more pet friendly than in Thailand.
@@bandykootkootkoot4334 It's your preference not to go but for many, it's still the most popular tourist destination in South East Asia regarding to someone's misconception😂😂😂
That’s why many filipino teachers prefer to go to Thailand. The salary is higher and the cost of living is cheaper plus the health benefits is also ok. 👌🏻
Those are filipino english teachers which thais needed,and its special job,so to attract they will be paid higher

Yes white and European are paid higher because it is based on their higher standard of living

I agree the foods are cheap in bangkok cost around $3 dollars but i need to eat 2-3 meal to make me full.
Cheap because small
Nice to see new vblog mergin, are you staying in Thailand now ,
That’s not Rama 8 bridge,that is Phumiphol bridge for across to Samutprakan.
I think condo rent in bangkok thailand is much cheaper than in metro manila area and in cebu city and davao city
It isnt good to think
That's quite modest isn't it? It seems living Bangkok is cheaper than the Philippines.
Correction, living in bangkok is cheaper than Manila, coz u can find a lot cheaper condo's in provinces.
It depends where you stay in the Philippines.
@@funnypanda7890condos in d provinces are cheaper too
@@sprikitik9719 yun nga sinabi ko. No intiendez? Habla ingles
@@El_.5794 and dont forget the sex tourism, no.1 in the world. A country full of walkers and lady boys.

Agreed. Time to completely move out of dirty Philippines. He already got the subscribers from the peegnoy losers. It's time to go to greener pastures.
I think it would be nice to see you blogging in the philippines
Are you recording this video with your phone or camera?
Hi merg y r u not posting everyday anymore? Missing ur daily vlogs. R u leaving us in the Phils?

Does anyone know a good visa service for a move from the US to Bangkok ?
❤️❤️❤️❤️
What is the name of this condo ?? Wyndham Garden is listed as a hotel (???)
the building is nice but im not a fan of the surrounding walking area doesnt look decent. thats why its cheap
Brother how can I find deals like that?
You’re back to Bangkok with Justin
Hi Mergim ...what's up! Waiting for new videos 😊😊😊.It sounds you realize that Philippines is not for you?
He's a true blooded Thailand devotee
@lorbulacan3679 There's no wrong with it.Everyone of us has the choice in life where you wanna be .Important that you're happy with your life 😊.

Jesus, how can the landlord made the profit?

Best to invest in property now are Philippines and Malaysia
yes Bangkok real estate market is down. only 10% speak english there. the place is BGC Mergs.
True
too expensive and traffic
Yes, keep wishing for property prices in your country to keep going up! Soon enough, you will see people pushed out onto the streets - literally.
I hope Mergim is just on vacation in Thailand or otherwise he has some personal reason or issues in the Philippines😂😂😂
@@El_.5794 Relax, it's just my sarcastic expression especially to some sensitive Filipinos who will react to this content. You're relatively correct, it's Mergim's right to explore other countries✌✌✌
Hell be back to philippines if hes viewers well go down in thailand 😂😂😂😂😂
Thailand is better than Philippines, just facts.
I'm sure you was on 70k(something) subs a week ago now your on nearly 100k and hardly post videos? Sounds suspicious. 😅
Sir Mergim left the Philippines last week with about 91k subs.
Bangkok is hotter than manila,2x very hot
Shoot no brainer, I would choose Thailand for cheap monthly rentals and lower cost of living. That’s why most foreigners would probably go2 Thailand. The difference though is the not so pleasing to the eyes…garden view or is that a park? I have to say BGC and Makati have stunning parks.

Something has changed. Your not posting actual videos nearly as often and you don’t even explain anymore where you are and why.
the pacific is littered with chemtrails :(
would love to see some bangkok vs manila videos, my guess is bangkok would win most comparisons though. Ive in bangkok 10+ times
For this time Bangkok wins over MANILA, but wait after 8 to 10 years Im sure Manila will win because as of now to many reclamation in Manila Bay are now being done, The Manila Horizon City, The Solar City, and many more.

I don’t like Thailand , been there lately
Why
food is better , infrastructure is better and it costs alot less , than the phillipines.
High probability of Coup d’etat
Transportation is better, I'm not sure if food is better though, but my sis and aunt said it's like they just went to the Philippines but the vendor policy is way better in Thailand compared to Manila but as Mergim said Philippines is more pet friendly than in Thailand.
No doubt its among the top popular tourist destination of the world✌✌✌
