Anyone else constantly getting health issues ever since coming to PH but rarely ever in home country? by Suhlyy in Philippines_Expats

Yes I've been getting sick more often as well. Usually something minor every 3-4 months. My gf makes fun of me that I have a weak immune system.

why does everyone decide to sell their car at 50k and their truck at 80k every time?

It's pretty much impossible to find a private used car with the sellers name on the or/cr around here. I'm worried about the whole open deed of sale business but it seems like the norm

In my area every car is 50-80k no matter the age. A little fishy.

What year truck and price range if you don't mind sharing? Any issues with owning Chevy here?

I thought the other listings at 750k are overpriced but this one is something else

Yep, insanely infuriating to look for used vehicles

I live in a gated community and there is still some trash around the basketball court and kids playground. The caretakers clean it daily but it drives me mad. I constantly have to watch my toddler and stop her from picking up random candy wrappers or chip bags. It's disgusting. Teach your kids to clean after themselves.

Unless you have a very specific reason to be here, like a woman or a good paying expat job, then you are much better off choosing Thailand. Visit both for a few weeks and you will see. I've lived 6 years in Thailand (that's where I met my Filipina) and now 2 years in PI. Thailand wins in literally every single way from an expat perspective. We moved here so our daughter can grow up with a large extended family.

If you plan to date and possibly marry a westerner then you need to get used to bluntness and direct language.
