My youth was corrupted when I was sent to Subic to catch my first ship at 18 yrs of age in the mid 70's. This was a golden time in Olongapo. T-shirts proudly labeled it "The Pearl of the Orient" The main drag is Magsaysay and it was a maze of clubs with bands both rock and country. For the next 4 yrs and 3 west pacs I was in heaven. It was a time of Marshall Law which meant all sailors had to be out of the clubs, off the streets and behind doors or back on base by midnight. Walking back across Sh@t River at 2350 the girls were lined up trying to grab hold of the sailors.
OK, back to the present. I give Thailand thumbs up over PI.
