They are both sex tourist places, but the Phillipines is a little more western accepted. Thailand is a more stable and safe.

how can you say safe when there's so much AIDS in thailand??? although this time they are very much aware

Philippines just gets worse and worse

.....

and the beaches get more crowded with koreans

here in Pattaya they get more crowded with Russians.

To each country its own scourge, I guess

hahahaha... and where's that? in Cebu beaches? You can't just say Philippines as there's tons of beaches in the Philippines, and tons of cities with beaches

For those of you who have spent time in both places, how would you compare and contrast them?

Do you find more advantages/disadvantages in one over the other?

Thanks, guys!

Malls - Advantage Philippines

Natural Parks - Advantage Philippines

National Parks - Advantage Philippines

Beaches - Advantage Philippines

Mountain Climbing - Advantage Philippines

Island Hopping - Advantage Philippines

Cheap tour around the country - Advantage Thailand (Philippines is an archipelago state)

For the information of everybody Philippines is NOT JUST manila. There are more than 7000 islands in the Philippines.

If you don't like dirt, pollution, flood, poor people, crime try, typhoon, calamity, earth quake, visiting Davao City.

If you like to party, enjoy safe red light districts try Cebu.

If you want surfing try Surigao.

There's a lot of places in the Philippines that you might not know.

As for thailand, I was only there for 7 days. Been to phuket, bangkok, crocodile park,. Thailand is only good when you really want to travel by land and visit many places.

As for the Philippines, there are so many places to visit and to choose from...
