    Oh yeah, Samal Island - infamous kidnapping a few years back. All over the news, it was.

    That doesn't seem to bother @Swissrider, to recommend it to a member looking for a nice place.

    Just returned to Thailand from the Philippines. I thought the food was very good and I could get food palatable to the western world.
    I also had no problems with Internet anywhere I went on Dumaguete including Dauin. Also found it fine in Moalboal, Cebu.

    I have yet to find a beach (or any place in the Philippines) where I get a 4g connection with speeds of 30MBps and up on the beach as I experienced in Thailand couple years ago on a regular basis. Even on islands smaller than siquijor.

    Oh no! What ever shall we do at the beach if we can't use our cell phones!? What a terrible experience that would be! We might have to actually *gasp* enjoy ourselves and our surroundings without having to rely on approval from others on social media! :jawdrop:

    BTW, I did have LTE in the pictures below (Panglao). I didn't check the speed....or remember having any real need for it.

    Some expats live in front of the beach and cable companies won't/can't go that far down the road, unless you wan't a slow connection.

    I guess that is some research someone should do prior to renting or buying on the beach. It isn't a shortcoming of the Telecom (since very few people/customers live at the very edge of a town), it is a shortcoming of the person who "needs" a good signal but didn't bother to check if it was available before moving.

    What would LTE have to do with taking pictures? I can take pictures in airplane mode and no cell functionality. :wink: Must have taken some effort to find a nice abandoned beach on Panglao Island.
