Philippines hands down🇵🇭 from the color of a water to its majestic thousands islands,👌
For those asking which one I prefer: I love both countries (I’ve been FOUR times to each 😅). My goal with this video is to help indecisive travelers with some key points based on my experience. I wouldn’t say it’s an unbiased video but I definitely don’t take sides 😅 Both countries have brought me so much joy, unforgettable experiences and great friendships 😌 If you can, DO BOTH :)
As a Filipino I'm Really Proud of my country Philippines Thank you So Much Fonsi for loving our country we love you so much Fonsi pleased stay here for Good
PHILLIPINES BEST BEACHES IN THE WORLD ❤
Amazing review,❤❤❤ watching from Taiwan
How about Malaysia?
Proud to be Pilipino. Hospitality Philippines is the best. Hehehe. Thank you for sharing. 👋
Hi, I’m Thai and agreed with you that Philippines has lots of more beautiful islands than Thailand. The government there seems have not much creative ideas how to bring out to the world. I wish I will visit those paradise islands in Philippines one day!
As a Filipino I love to travel Thailand🇹🇭 soon. Sometimes traveling to beaches here like Palawan, Siargao, the fare is expensive. It’s better to travel abroad. lol 😂
Thailand have a strong culture cause we are not colonized befor🙏🇹🇭 We like to smile for respect each other. I also like Philippine too🇵🇭
I'm living in Thailand. I enjoy it.
Yes, you're right: strong culture. It is very unique.
And yes: never being colonized before unlike Cambodia, Vietnam or Malaysia (I have also lived there before).
Nevertheless, it has heavily been influenced by Prussia, nowadays Germany (and partly Scandinavia like in Hua Hin).
This dates back to the times, as Thailand and Ancient Siam were several in war against France, and then, Prussia defeated France, and Thailand admired Prussia for this, and copied them in many aspects, like for its bureaucracy 😂😂😂
As a business owner here in Thailand that has also lived in Germany, I immediately recognized the same heavy bureaucracy here 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It's not our fault we were colonized. I'm sorry, but Thailand wasn't even born yet when we were conquered by Spaniards. However, we learnt a lot in advance from them, even from the Americans, how this and that work. Don't you ever doubt why we're good in English? It's because of them getting us conquered doesn't brings us bad but also some goods, too. In a lot of comparison of the Philippines and Thailand, a lot of foreignors prepare to visit us than Thailand (No Offense) because of good communication. You may be knoown as the country of smiles. But we're known as the "Pearls of the Orient Seas". We have commonly have everything, that's why China wants to take the West Philippines Sea, lol. So, don't say THAILAND have a strong culture because we do too and we are advanced in a few things, but Thailand for sure lead the growth of the economy. That's all. :)
I think what Fonsi's trying to say is he loves The Philippines more 🇵🇭
I don’t want to take sides at all 😅 I love the Ph and I love Th (I’ve been to both FOUR times! 😅 and the ones yet to come), they’re 2 of my fav countries to explore 🙏 just comparing some key points here for indecisive travelers.
@@fonsiabroadไม่เป็นไร คนไทยเข้าใจค่ะ Don't worry🇹🇭👌
Even though Fonsi is trying to promote the Philippines But he still include Thailand in the content to make it more interesting.
Thank you for loving the Philippines ❤❤stay safe
Stay safe you too 🙏😀 love this country! 🇵🇭
Brilliant, you are incredibly accomplished as a presenter. You convey your information with great clarity, enthusiasm and vitality. I really enjoy these videos. Thank you.
Thanks for your support Ray! Glad you enjoy my videos 🙌 looking forward to sharing more adventures 🌏✈️
Tourists better go to Thailand. As a Filipino, we want to preserve the pristine beauty of our beaches. Let tourist enjoy Thailand and we will enjoy our nature. No comparison to both countries.
Hahaha! Nag propromote nga ang tourism industry tapos papuntahin mo sa Thailand makasarili ka rin ano seguro mayaman ka gusto mo ikaw lang makinabang !
Hopefully the nature of the Philippines is preserved yes 🙏
@@fonsiabroadtry to travel in BATANES YOU WILL EXPERIENCE HONESTY AND YOU WILL ENJOY THE VIEW AND RELAX
Good analysis based on experience. Glad Fonsi shared this❤
Thank you! Wanted to help people who are thinking about where to start, but honestly I hope everyone gets to experience both 😀 they’re both amazing countries to travel to 🙏🇹🇭🇵🇭
When it comes to culture and traditions. I would say Thailand is interesting and also they were not colonized by other countries which is interesting to see how they became a nation. While I would go for The Philippines for its nature and rich and diverse history from being bombarded with so much influence from the east and west it’s a mix of everything which makes the Philippines unique in Southeast Asia also it’s not in mainland Asia. I love both countries. I can’t wait to visit Thailand in the future. I been to the Philippines. It needs in progress in infrastructure development
I like shopping in Thailand too
And One night stand too
Many islands in the PH are unexplored and undiscovered, that's why many of them are untouched and serene in terms of their natural looks.
Subscribed dude. Great vids. New fan here. 🙏 enjoy the philippines.
Love you Fonsi! 😊😊😊😊😊
Subscribed. Vamos!
@fonsiabroad bruh, this is another great video😉👌 I love the way you gave info about these two amazing countries. I still yet go explore my very own country, the Philippines hehe... You're even way ahead of me travelling here in the Philippines bruh. Have fun and enjoy your every adventure. Feel at home!👌👌👌
I'm your new subscriber from the Philippines. Thank you for visiting the island of SIQUIJOR❤❤❤.
Thanks for loving our country 🇵🇭
I’m staying here in Thailand 🇹🇭 it’s beautiful just like my country ❤
More power to your vlog
Fonsi u r always welcome in the philippines..😊
Always great to come back to this beautiful country 😃🇵🇭
Thank you so much for coming in Thailand and Philippines and thank you for advice for developing
Thailand well come all and hope you enjoy and happy every day in all country ❤️🇹🇭
I love how you describe both countries :)
Thank you 😃 both are two very special countries to me 🙏
Very interesting!
Thanks 😀😀
Thanks for this comparison video. I love you bro. 🤍
Mabuhay Fonsi. Enjoy .
😀😀 thanks!!
I'm Filipino and I often wish we have the same level of progress as Thailand's. We don't compete with each other in real life, if that what it appears to some. I think comparison videos like this are aimed to non Thais and non Filipinos who want to plan their travel well and manage their expectations. Always have open mind and respect both countries. Thank you!
I'm Filipino bu I also love Thailand 😊
I luv u fonsi. take care always
Im a filipino and residents of manila but my boss is from australia yes... Majority of australian like to travel japan china thailand vietnam and they do not want to travel in the philippines the reason is the culture in the philippines is the same in western country... For me is acceptable
Yes, I agree… I’m here in Australia.
They don’t like to travel in the Philippines. Sad!
Thank you❤
My Opinion on your vlog is very beautiful wonderful and awesome you are the only Vlogger that really show and appreciate our country better on your very honest opinion so for that im you're no .1 fan I'm your fan you are my idol fonsi hope we can do bonding and meet in person or in personal soon
Thank you! 🙌 I’ve been enjoying the Philippines a lot and I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m in this area of the world 🙏🌏
The Philippines has a lot to offer, English specifically
😂😂
Most Filipinos mostly say that they are better because they speak English. I would say it's nonsense. It's not important for Thailand. Because Thailand has its own culture, food and language. The authentic southeast asia and a variety of tourist attractions, not just the sea. It has a unique architecture. And most importantly, public transportation is much better. Because of this reason, the Philippines does not have many tourist. If comparing with Thailand It should be compared to Malaysia or Vietnam. The Philippines is far below these countries. And it's a dangerous country.
@@tiger-eq3loI love shopping in Thailand too
@@tiger-eq3loright
Thailand, I guess is more "touristy" when compared to the Philippines?
Btw, hope you have a trip planned to Vietnam sometime soon? Can't wait to check out those vlogs whenever you go there :-)
I’ve been to Vietnam for 10 days but I didn’t vlog about it 🙌 definitely want to explore more of the country so I’ll be back 🙌 looking forward to share about that experience whenever I visit!
This year, January to February. In just 2 months There are already more than 7 million tourists visiting Thailand.
“Touristy” becoz tourists choose to come.
Wow ! . Terrific about your view of the Philippines . You should be working with the Tourism bureau of the Philippines . Very good Fonsi abroad . I like your vlog
😅 thanks! I just say it how I feel it, Philippines has a very special place in my heart 🙏 I don’t ever stay in an area of the world for a long time ✈️ but I’ll keep coming back for sure here as I feel so good traveling and staying in this beautiful country 😃
I love the vlogger
Philippines will always be number 1 for me being my motherland. HOWEVER, I highly prefer Thai food over Filipino cuisine, Bangkok is so much easier to get around compared to Manila. Thai massage is renowned worldwide as well. Bangkok also has the best rooftop bars in Asia hands down. Ugh I miss Thailand.
I don't like Thai food .yucks
Try to visit these uncharted provinces of the Philippines - Sipalay in Negros Occ, Apo Island in Mindoro, Carabao Island in Romblon, shooting the rapids in Cagayan de Oro, postcard-perfect sceneties in Siruma, Camarines Sur, Caramoan in Bicol, Batanes Islands......so many to explore.......Enjoy
Fonsi, you've said it right. keep on promoting on your travels. Explore more in the Philippine Islands. Explore more in Mindanao.
Thank you. Great video
If infrastructure, world class food, first rate Hospitals and healthcare, clean beaches than Thailand wins hands down.
Finally I saw U here Utube....I'm always saw U on Instagram 😁
Yes bro its more fun here in Philippines you feel like your home ❣️
🇵🇭🌴is It!Heres Hoping You Got More Subscribes😍
Thank you 😀🙌
Philippines for sure. I’ll give the food and culture to Thailand but the Philippines have a magical vibe in every island whether it’s Boracay or Cebu or Siargao or the Palawan Island these islands brings a laid back feeling like you leave your worries behind. A big plus is that the people are very humble and speak English so well. They also love foreigners. The food in the Philippines may not reach mainstream but it’s about to change as you see in social media and jokoy the comedian is talking about Filipino food and the history behind it. Chicken Adobo is the national dish and it’s hella good
Very balanced and accurate- hope you have seen already Batad and Sagada & Basco
Philippines has an amazing geographical areas and paradise to stay and live with it, and local people loves vlogging about these conducive to a relaxed atmosphere brought by this beautiful country and you catch up the heart of the Filipino people. Philippines has a lot to offer and there are many beautiful places and destinations you should find out while travelling in such an incredible places or the country's hidden gem. Thanks for visiting and hope to see more of you and rooting for your next adventures and promenade. God speed and Stay safe😀🥰
¡Muy buena video!
Saludo desde Tailandia
Definitely agree with you. However, I guess most people ultimate choices (PH vs. Thailand) stem from flights costs which are much more expensive for the PH when your flights are originated from Europe. Anyway, thanks for your advices and great vids as usual.
Good point! I feel like flights can definitely be a determining factor 🙌
I'm amazed you only lived 3 months in PH and you already know many things about PH. All you said are true and on point. Enjoy.
No comparison just enjoy
Filipinos are the Most hospital people this side of the globe 🍷👍🩵❤️🔥 they're incredibly Warm and friendly!! 🩵They're the foremost reason why the visitors keep Coming back for more👍👌🥂💥
Enjoy your travel as Filipino American I say Philippines. But Spain has lots to offer too from big cities to nice beach and weather.
Muchas Gracias Fonsi... Mabuhay... Hope you find yourself living in Filipinas sooner or later .. .. 🇵🇭 🇪🇸
Thailand is definitely more exotic than the Philippines, especially if you're coming from Europe. Philippines is more westernized compared to its neighbors, but the local experience here is much different, cause if you're looking to interact, not a problem, cause everyone understands English.
But Philippines has Wonder of Nature which are not man made, is Thailand has wonder of nature? Except beaches please..
FYI, Philippines is very unique county in South East Asia because Philippines is a combination of EAST & WEST and yet still Philippines preserved it's own culture, tradition & unique foods.
@@RopFern Lol...people travel to a country which is more popular destination and culturally different not because in Wonder of Nature🤣🤣🤣
@@charlesjosephdiputado804 ohh really? FYI, Wonder of nature which are not man made are more exciting & interesting to see in this world than those of man made attraction..sorry for the tourist who missed to see the wonder of nature which they can cherish for a lifetime..
@@RopFern Ohh really too???You're saying much nonsense from your own overproud thought. Not all tourists will care for Wonder of Nature when they travel elsewhere, some will go for more culturally different country, some will go for those country with a better tourism packaging(infrastructure, transportation, facilities, accommodation etc.) not to an underrated country(Philippines)from a hearsay of people like you🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I'm trying to decide on a short trip coming from China. I like to be alone at times, but also want to experience the local culture too. So, I was thinking Cebu or Koh Samui in Thailand (recommendation). I don't really want to shop, just enjoy the beach that's not too crowded, maybe rent a bike, ride a jet ski, and maybe visit a skatepark. Any suggestions?
You havent seen the pink sands in Bicol or the gray sands in La Union in the Phils.
Nice points of view really fair.😊
Thank you 🙌 love both countries! Two great destinations with such great nature, food and welcoming people 🙏
You should choose the Philippines over Thailand because the Philippines was a former colony of your home country Spain.
Indeed Philippines has colorful history than Thailand
@@TenCo-by9pflmaooo you mean spain?
@@FgYu-lu4lp shut up weirdo.
Interms of modernity 🇹🇭 Thailand is better 😮💨
I like how you did a very objective / unbiased review! 😊 gracias desde Filipinas! 🇵🇭🙇🏻♂️
Salamat po 😀🙌
When are you visiting Balabac, Palawan?
True
To all blogger its better dont compared. Just enjoy travel thank you
What's wrong to comparing uo other countries?🤔 He just only to say the FACTS.. he is not only to say about Philippines is better but also the other countries
Objective comparison. There are still so many beautiful islands in PH to explore. Enjoy your travels.
ฟิลิปปินทะเลสวยกว่าประเทศไทยมากๆพูดแบบไม่อวยถ้าโครงสร้างพื้นฐานของฟิลิปปินดีการเดินทางสะดวกสบายรับรองไทยสู้ไม่ได้แน่นอน
ยอมรับจริงว่าเค้าสวย พาราไดซ์ paradise แล้วแต่คนชอบถูกจริตเลย ถึงประเทศไทยมีเกาะหรือทะเลน้อย แต่ด้วยหลักฮวงจุ้ยภูมิศาสตร์ มันไม่ใช่แค่เดินทางไปถึงสถานที่ธรรมชาติง่าย มันอยู่ที่ฮวงจุ้ยสถานที่เอื้ออำนวยยิ่งสร้างการเดินทางที่ดีมันเลยยิ่งง่ายเข้าไปใหญ่ ถ้าอยากไปผจญภัยหาเกาะแก่งแปลกใหม่ฟิลิปปินส์ก้อน่าไป แต่ถ้าบนโลกนี้ยังมีมนุษย์อยู่ ยิ่งที่ดินอยู่ไกลยิ่งไม่ปลอดภัย ที่ใกล้แหล่งเมืองจะปล่อยภัยกว่า เปรียบเหมือนนางงาม เค้าสวยโดดอยู่อย่างนึงสุดๆ แต่เราสวยครบ แม้เรื่องความสวยทะเลเค้าได้ เอบวก แต่เราได้เอ ความตัวคิดว่าต่อให้โครงสร้างพื้นฐานของเค้าดีคิดว่าเค้าประสบความสำเร็จแน่ แต่คนที่ได้มงกุฏคือไทย
เปรียบทะเลเป็นสาวสวย เค้ามีคนสวยหลายคนมาก แต่ถ้าเรามีทะเลเดียวหาดเดียวที่สวยที่สุดเหมือนกัน หรือแค่มีคนสวยแค่หนึ่งคนก้อพอแล้ว เพชรแม้จะคนละเม็ดมันก็ยูนีคสวยกันคนละแบบ แล้วอยู่ที่ความชอบของแต่ละคน มาหยาพีพีเราได้ไปถึงอันดับสามของโลก ทั้งที่เราเป็นประเทศเล็กๆ ทะเลสวยเหมือนสรรค์แลนสเคปของเค้าสวย เราว่าเหมือนภาพวาด อย่างน้อยของเราก็มีหนึ่งภาพที่แตกต่าง และเป็นคนละภาพกับของเค้า
จำนวนนักท่องเที่ยวของฟิลิปปินส์ ยังน้อยกว่า มาเลเซีย สิงค์โปร์ เวียดนาม และ อินโดนีเซีย อีกนะ แสดงว่า สวย อย่างเดียว ยังไม่ตอบโจทย์ เค้ามองข้ามประเทศอาเซี่ยน อื่นๆ ว่าประเทศเหล่านั้นมีอะไรดี คนถึงสนใจมากกว่าฟิลิปปินส์
@@apima08maybe most of our island is very strict in tourism now just like BATANES GROUP OF ISLANDS WICH IS NEAR IN TAIWAN THEIR GOVERMENT IS VERY STRICT IN TERMS OF TOURISM NOW BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO MAINTAIN THE ISLANDS VIRGINITY AND TO PRESERVED ITS OWN BEAUTY
แค่บีชมันขายไม่ได้ ไม่มีรีสอร์ทหรูในฟิลิปปินส์ ถ้าคนจะไปบีชรีสอร์ทหรูเขาไปมัลดีฟไปไทย คนไทยนอกจากจะไปบีชไทยแล้วก็ไปมัลดีฟ ไม่มีใครไปฟิลิปปินส์หรอก
Mucha suerte en viaje.
Fonsi ,visit Jomalig island . Its a hidden treasure of Quezon province here in the Philippines
Thanks bro support philippines
Thailand and Philippines has it's unique perfect beauty created by Most Perfect power of God......
We love you.❤🇵🇭
I love Thailand.Transport is excellent.And the food is delicous.And its really safe.Plus lots to do.Sad to say ive not been to The Philippines yet.
Si mi abuela viviera todavía, sin duda le encantaría conocerle. Ella fue una de las últimas hispanohablantes en nuestro pueblo, su abuelo era de Alicante, España. Emigraron a la región de Bicol, en la ciudad de Naga en la provincia de Camarines Sur, entonces conocida como Nueva Cáceres. No muchos vloggers van allí.
Que interesante!! Y que muchas gracias 😀, me encantaría haberla conocido 🙏
@@fonsiabroad Gracias. Deberias visitar mi ciudad natal, la ciudad de Naga. Cada septiembre, durante la fiesta de Nuestra Sra de Peñafrancia, escucharas a la gente cantar himnos en español, resonando por toda la ciudad. Sigue siendo nuestra tradicion cantar himnos procesionales en español.
@@fonsiabroad Según una encuesta patrocinada por su gobierno. Los bicolanos son el segundo grupo étnico más grande de Filipinas con sangre española dominante, alrededor del 20-30% de la población, solo superado por la ciudad de Zamboanga. Comparada con Zamboaga, que es una ciudad, Bicol es una región con 7 millones de habitantes. Así que visita mi ciudad natal en septiembre, te invitaré a la fiesta.
OMG are you in El Nido right now??🤩🤩
Hey! Have you been to Camiguin island? Another super paradise located in Mindanao, don't miss it! Try visiting other vloggers on CZcams who have been there....
Have you've been Tinuy an falls and enchanted river?
Language wise, Philippines also wins! Philippines has a high-fluency rate in English due to American Occupation. Local languages have numerous Spanish words too. Like suerte, cuchara, tinidor, and etc. But of course, the usage of Spanish words vary among different regions and communites.
We love you.
Pwede ba syang ibulsa? Sobrang Ganda ng mukha nya!😊😊
You should visit east java and borobudur temple
You don’t need to compare. Each place has its uniqueness. Go wherever you want to go.
Nice comparison. A note on tourism generally, I think that over tourism is very bad for local economies. Look at the Canaries, Tenerife and Ibiza. The locals have trouble trying to afford to live in some of these places, often due to government inability in policy, but it's so sad. It's these people that provide the services for tourists to enjoy themseves, all a bit sad.
It's not so crowded because the Philippines has so many islands that you can go to. Actually, thousands of them and I love it. ❤🥰😍🤗
both countries as re nice ,.the only difference Thailand is more crowded n touristy but the Philippines is more laid back n less touristy n you can find places where you can enjoy that is not crowded
❤
ฉันเป็นคนไทย ไทยและฟิลิปปินส์มีทะเลสวยไปคนละแบบ คุณชอบฟิลิปปินส์มากกว่าก็ไม่ผิด ฉันอยากไปเที่ยวทะเลในฟิลิปปินส์สักครั้ง😊🇹🇭❤️🇵🇭
which of the two countries is safer for Tourists on a daily basis to wander around town without getting mugged??? which of the two countries have peddlers that will cheat you more about a price when purchasing souvenirs or anything at all???
The Philippines is archipelagic country it has 7100 islands with stunning beaches perfect white sand and super blue clear waters, Its included in the 7 wonder of nature in the world and UNESCO world heritage site.
Thank you Fonsi! You're absolutely right! Philippines has a lot of beautiful beaches with clear seawater..Better than thailand.
I envy you so much, I cannot swim. 😂
It's one of the most challenging topics to talk about..hahaha..😅
Both are amazing 🙌
You should join Tao Philippines Expedition to experience the local life of Palawan.
I love philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Of course philippines it has 7614 islands.. Indonesia and philippines are the true rival but they both brothers
I am a permanent resident here in Japan and id been in different places in asia but no place like the Philippines
I just cant stop staring ...youre so cute 🥰🥰🥰
I agree with you.. for me..PHILIPPINES is the Best...if you want to have peace on mind, relaxing and calm there is in rhe Philippines..the food and culture is really good.. yes you're right.. have some places in the Philippines undiscovered that needed to discovered. and so many islands in the Philippines that you can choose..
there are many more beautiful views that are not in Thailand.. Most of the beautiful things to see in the Philippines are almost here.. there is no need to go to other Asian countries.
For you but not for everybody.
@@salephone3690but in general is yes for PHILIPPINES
Easy to tell dude. See how many tourists visited Thailand and Philippines. Thailand is a sure winner
For me is Philippines lovey beaty ilands and blue water rivers
I think you're spot on about the differences. Philippines isn't as popular so there are still remote places that are untouched or barely touched by tourists. One of my biggest thing why I love Thailand is the hospitality. I always tell people, if you want to know how to treat someone then go to Thailand. I feel they are so happy to see you and I feel they go out of your way to make you feel welcome and invited. I always feel like I'm treated like royalty when I visit Thailand. Though I love Palawan and the beautiful islands of the Philippines. I love the Filipino foods but I would say my tastebuds also prefer Thaifood. From their Phad See Ew (Smokey wide nooodles) to Mango Sticky Rick and Sweet Coconut. Just watching your video makes me want to book a flight out rn.
Thai thanks for your comment 😀 I agree with everything you said 🙏 the Philippines is more remote and adventurous and Thailand definitely has the top infrastructure and services. Both are amazing destinations. Philippines is the best for beaches and island hopping and Thailand has such diverse environment and great food, both have the warmest people 😃😃
Hi fonci
Spoiler alert: if you go camping or in public toilets in the Philippines, even in some second rate private resorts they are unbelieveably embarassing. As a local tourists, it is so frustrating
