People who shit on Philippines but big up Thailand are stupid

It seems to be a common theme in this sub - the Philippines expats sub - that whenever someone asks for advice on moving to Philippines, you'll get replies saying "should go to Thailand instead", whenever anyone asks advice on healthcare - "should go to Thailand instead" or the most bizarre one when people ask for relationship advice - "you should meet a Filipina then bring her to Thailand". Like, why?!

I understand Philippines has a lot of pitfalls compared to first world countries. But you're not going to magically alleviate all of those by going to Thailand.

Thailand has some slight advantages and some slight disadvantages when compared to the Philippines, but it's much of the same.

You're still going to face all of the challenges of living in a developing country in Thailand. And most of those challenges can be mitigated in the Philippines, with a bit of planning.
