    I would likely make the move to Thailand if they spoke better English. Much better infrastructure, food and culture. However, Thailand is not a place for all the loud foreigners with bully attitudes that like to come to the Philippines. Fighting is part of Thai culture and while I was there I saw several foreigners getting their butts, rightfully, whooped by both male and female locals. Good entertainment to watch those a-holes get what is coming to them by a guy or girl half their size.

    Thanks Michael B. Cost of living in Thailand is low and most things (food, housing, transportation, women, etc.) I really like. It is a violent culture. In a fight, friends always attack together whether against another Thai or a foreigner. If the person being attacked is a foreigner, The Thais attacking him may not even know each other, but will join in the attack on a foreigner. But conflicts are easy to avoid, unless drunk. My issues mostly revolve around the poor English speaking ability here. Too difficult to do anything without a Thai person with you. To live permanently, Thailand would be my first preference, as long as I can afford to leave the country every 4/5 months for a while. I plan to maintain my residence in Thailand while in the Philippines a few months at a time.

    Looc and Calindagan baragays have a high rate of drug problems, but as we know bad things can happen here anywhere.
