I currently live in the Philippines.

Nobody can properly answer your question because nobody can predict your tolerance for retarded flip bullshit.

How long do you think you can survive on the lowest quality food you can imagine? And I am not using hyperbole or exagerating when I say the lowest quality. you will constantly spend more to get less here.

Same with housing. If you can tolerate living in humid shack with no air conditioning then you can probably find cheap housing. Want AC? Get ready to PAY!

electricity cost about 6X more than in the USA. The homes are not insulated at all and difficult to cool and dry out. they ste often designed for fans and circulating air. AC is usually added as an afterthought. You will see nasty shit like your walls condensating like a glass of ice water and molding because of the humidity.

I lived in the tropical States of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. Summers as hot and humid as the Philippines. It coats 3X as much to be half as comfortable.

Nobody comes here to live cheap. Because poor filipinos literally live like animals.

men come here to fuck tight young and easy pinay pussy. you tolerate the bullshit until you get your fill of cooming. Then you just cant stand it and return home or go somewhere better like Thailand or Vietnam.

Food is not cheap in the Philippines because they have so little farmland compared to Thailand or Vietnam; if you look at the map, Thailand and Vietnam have vast swathes of flat land suitable for farms, whereas a look at the map of the Philippines shows that the nation has so little arable land, being made up of mostly useless mountainous islands.

The same reason why food is expensive is the reason why the utilities are expensive, you literally live in an archipelago of fragmented islands, you simply cannot utilities to each other considering how there's a literal ocean between the islands, since you can't build power lines, pipes, or other utilities under deep ass water and connect them, each island has to have a seperate source of power, water, and etc. making utility costs far more expensive than the USA.

Quite frankly I am perplexed that you are blaming the Filipinos for things they cannot control; can you control the Weather? Geography? It's actually quite a miracle how they cobbled together their current living standards considering how they are extremely geographically disadvantaged.

good points. also, unlike other countries they also don't have any significant petroleum, so energy is not going to be cheap there.

malaysia by contrast has a shitload of petrol

> things they cannot control;
we do blame them for breeding like rats when their country doesn't have any resources. they are as bad as india in that regard

That's true, there's so many of them on a bunch of such small islands that their population density is higher than Japan's

Japan - 338 people per square kilometer
Philippines - 392 people per square kilometer

Personally, I like it since I come from another country that exports to them, and the more people there buying our goods, the better as it makes us richer, the cramped space is their problem, not ours', they should breed even more so that they would buy more of our stuff. Just don't immigrate here.

I'm the OP who posted the original thread with the Bulgarian photo asking for recs. Based on everything I've read I don't think SEA is that great for a lot anymore. Also everyone will think you're a coomer. There's nothing wrong with shorter relationships (if its not just for sex) but like that's all there is to do there. If you're doing it paid it's going to rot your soul. But you do you i suppose.

It is cheap by comparison. You can live comfortably no cooming on 1200usd a month that includes groceries delivered and laundry picked up dropped off.
Add another 300 for delivery food 2x a day.

this

I lived in PH for 2yr while making 300k remotely. I would not have wanted to been on some poor person budget.
My place in quezon city was $765/month + electric for a 1bd loft in Megaworld development, $5-10 bike parking per month. That + food + visa is your basic uninsured guy in PH setup I guess. You could drop the housing to $500 if you really wished. I did a ton of domestic travel, dining out, int'l every 2-3 months, hosted events for friends, etc

Only cheap if you live like an absolutely 3rd world poorfag and even then you're gonna have $30/month or so visa fee no matter what, unlike them.

I earn $5000 to $6000 per month and I’m not hurting but it ain’t cheap. I can’t even imagine trying to live here on $1500 a month.
Also, I rent a 300sqm 5 bedroom “mansion” in Parañaque with a cute (but married to an ofw) full time maid and a part time driver. And no I’m not fucking the maid, she’s another man’s wife. I keep my bed continuously filled with young, pretty, college aged beauties

I just want to add that the maid is in her 30s and while she is really cute, she looks downright old and frumpy compared to a slim 19 year old nursing student.

But if she splits from her husband then I will want a taste of her forbidden fruit.
I have lived her for nearly 3 years and he has only returned home from Saudi and the UAE about 4 times.

ITT: Retards
The cheapest you can live without sacrificing proper infrastructure, literal turd world, dealing with unga bunga 24/7 do the following

Book a month to month place Penang, if want a bit better view langkawi. You can get a bunk hostel for ~200-250/mo and a private room in a hotel either place for 300-350 all utilities paid. Kota exists but whatever
Bus or ferry to Phuket, Hat Yai, or Yala, get a place for 200-250/mo again.
Rinse and repeat every 90 days or your visa limits.

Malaysia does not absolutely give a fuck if you're remote working there so long as you don't brag about it. Thailand might get a bit wondering what's up after a few repeated visits, though Malaysia Airlines does stupid cheap flights to Cambodia/Vietnam as well pick your poison.

You can easily live, food+beer+sim+bus tickets ~500 bucks a month in Malaysia with ease.

Good rule of thumb: your spending power as a visitor should never fall below the median spending power of the country's citizens. In Malaysia, this figure sits about $700 USD per month. I don't recommend being a penny pincher in the country. The plate of food you get for RM 18 is sooo much better than the slop you get for RM 10. The room you get for $22 a night is likewise miles better than the room you get for $15.

One third of population is Chinese.
Malaysia also has the biggest metal scene in all of Asia.
Alcohol is easily accessible, although vastly overpriced.
I have no idea about casual dating, though. if someone with actual experience would enlighten us, i would be dearly grateful.

As a teacher though Malaysia has extremely strict and retarded teaching requirements for getting a work visa. Because my degree is in history I can't work there. It has to specifically be in "Education" which isn't a degree path in the USA except for working with elementary schoolers getting an early childhood education degree.

QC or alabang are the best location for long term setups in the city. Makati/bgc are better for short term setups since girls come there to party but the biggest sluts are always from the outskirts like cavite

Fellas.

How feasible is it to get with a woman's daughter in the Phillipines?

She is 35 and quite hot and lives in Kuwait. But her crown jewel is her 16 y/o daughter.
Keep in mind, I'm not a passport bro. I found her on Bumble when I was travelling through Kuwait for work and I'm thinking of meeting up.

Just wondering if I could do the dirty if I meet her in Phillipines.

Quite easy if you are handsome and/or rich. That 16 year old is likely already selling her pussy. But she would still enjoy “dating” a hot guy.

I’m 40 and i regularly have sex with teens. Normal high schoolers. They all do it for cash. Not really expensive either. When I first got here, I nervously offered the first young girl 10k pesos for raw sex. It was amazing and I got hooked. Now I only offer 1000 pesos and they all still say yes. They are all really poor. A Filipina learns very young that her pussy is all she has of value. Most will literally fuck her own uncle for a ride into town and some spending money. Of course, their uncle might only be 2 or three years older than them

Do your own research, I can get a hotel style room+desk+shared kitchen for ~300/mo in George town via airbnb. I dunno how much a 1br is, studios are fine but then again I've been a nomad for quite a while. OP said cheap not "well needs a 1br, proper sit in tub, fully stocked kitchen, maid service..."
>>2804828
OP said cheap, again what is /trv/'s deal with this shit. There are tons of bars, foreigeners who moved in and other tourists to hang out with, drink with, attend events. Hell big name music artists play all the fuckin name in KL
>>2804868
Look up aibnb, do a month booking for the discount rates, 275-300/mo is fairly easy if you book more than a month out.

I know /trv/ will be like "Yeah but where are the cheap 20 dollar whores, $1 beers, oh clubs that will worship my BWC, the place the cleans up after I destroy the toliet due to drunken kebab mukbang, and no other whites around so I look exotic". OP is asking for cheap, if you want something cheap there are always sacrifices. If you want "cheap" book a 350-400/mo place in Korea and try to fuck some plastic
