Any cola in a plastic bottle is likely to be more expensive than that. Some eateries sell coke by the 1L glass bottles for 30 peso or under and provide cups, no deposit needed if you drink it there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is for me, the Closer I get to retiring very soon and Being There, the more I find myself checking and reading on here multiple times per day, as well as checking other seemingly less active sites. ...All because it fuels the dream and keeps it going until the dream soon becomes reality. I also enjoy the wit and humor that's on display here daily. All Good Stuff! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve, totally agree with what you say and that's why we are all here, I too ask many questions especially on living costs in Ph, done so on expat sites for many years, perhaps I am at the stage where I have asked and learned, lived on and off for two years plus a dozen trips or more and pretty much know the cost of things there, what to expect for our bucks. I wrote my projected costs some time ago either here or another site and came up with AU $3,500.00 +, some PHP 125,000 per month, but that was to live how we want and is very affordable for us but if we had to could cut back easily but hey that's our budget and comfortable. Our budget was derived from on the ground experience lots of input from well versed people on this and other sites. As said at the end of the day we wanted our particular lifestyle and those were the costs, in saying this I am sure we will spend more because we can. Every body is different and yes you are right I see how locals (our families there) live and the money they live on,,,,,,,lessons there to be learnt by me. My input wasn't negative at all and maybe I should have ended with OMO. Enjoy. Cheers, Steve. That is the very point Steve, it all depends on the life style we all want. We live in Pattaya very comfortably on 45k bht month ($14k US) close enough. That fits our budget, but it also give us th type of life we are happy with. That is the main point of the whole exercise. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed Intramuros The fort in Cebu and museum The Shrine in Cebu Tagaytay Pearl Farm Resort in Samal Island Mall of Asia Maybe Palawan someday. Definitely Coron and El Nido Palawan! Boracay Puerto Galera Davao City (probably the safest and most peaceful place in PH) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
