Did you realize that you were responding to a post dated 1/1/13 when you replied to Mongerman ... much cheaper to stay in a 4 star hotel with a negotiated rate with the hotel for an extended stay. They even threw in free laundry once each week for me. No advance deposits; room cleaned and sheets changed every day too.[/QUOTE]I realized it after I hit send. YMMV. In the Philippines it's always short-term thinking, so it's the best deal for today that matters. And depends on part of country. I'd start wtth modest hotel if on a tight budget and new, and use time to look around in person.

Philippines & Thailand
For those interested, as of November last year, Thailand now has a 60 day multiple entry tourist visa valid for one year. The Philippine equivalent is called a one year 59 day multiple entry visa. Both must be obtained from consulates offshore their respective countries.
