So far and subject to change.
Worst - Philippines (One or Two decent meals but overall a pretty dismal)
Best - Thai (mind you I have had some shokers here as well)

G'Day Mate,
I lived in the Philippines (Bacolod) for 12 months, never saw so many guns (every shop has an Armed Guard) or armoured cars in my life, same same in Manila, I found the people were fine but the food left a lot to be desired, ask yourself this, have you ever seen a Phillipino Restrauant anywhere in the world other than the Philippines?
Cost of living I found better than Thailand and workmanship on anything was probably on a par with Thailand "close enough is good enough", apart from Makati I found the rest of the country to be rather dirty actually.
If I left Thailand I would be more inclined to move to Vietnam, probably around the Vung Tau area, yes you have the normal expat issues but the beaches are great, countryside is lovley and the food is just behing Thai for me.
Cheers and good luck.

OK I can understand both sides of the argument here, Some shout extreme resentment and some say hey I love it, push comes to shove the way I see it is it's their (Thai) country and they have the right to Play however they want, I also agree that some tourists take it WAY too far be it via alcohol or simply having a brain fart so my solution to that is to stay away from the tourist areas.
This will be my third festival and for the most part I enjoy it immensily, I spend the day with my wife and family and friends (all Thai) out in Sai Mai, I have not seen any major arguments, people looking for trouble, etc (thats not to say it does not happen) and have never been soaked unless I have said OK, but have seen a LOT of people having a ball as we would say in Austraila, And I hope I stay young enough at heart to continue to enjoy it many years into the future

It's hard to believe this sort of thing happens, and unfortunately it is not just here either, I have read about the same thing happening in Australia, UK, and the US. It seriously makes me worry for the future, I know a hell of a lot of us got into trouble as teenagers, but this is not just another level as the saying goes it is a whole world away from what happened when I was a Kid.
I hope the injured get better soon and overcome the additional trauma this will put on them, I also hope the Police catch these so called humans and send a clear message to all that this can not and will not happen again.
