Vote for Thailand. Fewer MILFs
I have been to both places many times since 1990, but I think I'm done with the Philippines for a while. Yes there is more English and its easier to get around and yes the girls are probably more loving, but the deal-breaker for me is MILFs. Thats about all you find in AC and Manila. I remember my last trip to AC sitting the bar asking one of girls, which of the 35-40 visable girls, were not MILFs. The answer was 3, and all 3 of them were fat and chunky. When I monger, I'm not interested in older baby-damaged bodies and I'll put up with less GFE in order to have a sweet young spinner or a fresh-off-the-boat village girl. I think the Philippines norm is that the Catholics have too many kids and many mothers eventually feel they got to go to work to feed their kids. Whereas Thailand has a lot more young single girls trying to save some money for their future and send some money home to their parent’s village.
Of course that's a generalization and beautiful young single spinners can be found in Manila and there are plenty of hardcore MILFs working in Thailand, but the averages are much higher percentage of MILFs in Philippines.
So your answer lies in what type of women you are seeking.
Oh, and the food. There's no comparison, there's a reason why every city in Western Europe has multiple Thai restaurants but close to zero Filipina joints.
Tell us what you decide and looking forward to your trip reports and comparisons.
[QUOTE=SeaTraveler;2715440]I am considering a week-long side trip to either the Phils or Thailand but can't seem to make up my mind. The landscape of mongering has changed over time, especially with the impact of Covid. For me, it's all about mongering.
Can those with more experience in both of those countries collectively offer some intelligent advice?

Thai v Filipina and all others compared
I've always thought this little guide was more right than wrong. (NB-by "posing" I think the creator means posing for photos).
The alley where Kartika/Berlian/Royal Mas spas are located
[QUOTE=Zanny;2711788]Some people mentioned they can't find my trip report. So now it's in the sub-title in the Map:

I have updated Orchadz and New Sariayu listings with Bitbang's field notes. If I do go back in August to Jakarta, I'll be adding more to the map so it's a work in progress.
I've fixed the icons for the food places, the basic blue pointers was triggering my OCD.
If anyone has info on cheap Spa places in Jakarta where you can actually see the girls first, instead of photos or swiping on an iPad, that's what I'm keen on. I like the spa environment and service level rather than a fishbowl club.[/QUOTE]Hi Zanny, a belated thanks for your informative map and trip report.
I was sorry to read that Kartika and Berlian spas were totally dead and Royal Mas barely hanging on. Kartika was my go-to place during the time I actively mongered in Jakarta (2004-2009) with the other two places as back-ups. When I was last in Jakarta (March 2018), all 3 places were still active and busy and I would have recommended all 3 places as answers to your request for "cheap spa places where you can actually see the girls first. " I'd also recommend the bars at PangJay.
In response to a different discussion, I've always had the impression that the girls at Kartika / Berlian / Royal Mas worked there willingly. Two examples: when I visited Kartika in March 2018, I noticed that the red-haired Chinese woman named Sonia was still working there, the same Sonia with whom I had had several sessions during 2005-2008, beginning with a famous two-girl session with Cynthia/Sintia in February 2005. She instantly recognized me by name even though I had last visited Kartika in 2009 and seemed happy to see me.
Second story. In the spring of 2007, the mamasan at Royal Mas introduced me to a young cutie named Nonie who supposedly had just turned 18 and just arrived from Indramayu. I liked Nonie so much that I immediately became a regular, seeing her at least twice a month for almost a year. I especially remember one session where, after we had finished and were just cuddling, she received a call on her cell phone from her father. It was a bit weird to watch her sit totally naked and have the usual father-daughter conversation where she assured her father that everything was ok. Afterward, I asked Nonie if her father knew what she was up to and she replied, no he thinks I'm working at a shop in Lokasari Plaza.
After banging Nonie for a year, I invited her to travel to Bali for a weekend trip and she accepted. I stopped by a couple of days later to firm up the travel dates only to find Nonie walking out Royal Mas dressed in normal Javanese-girl street clothes (jeans and a black top) with a suitcase in her hand. She told me that she was traveling back home to get married in an arranged marriage and said goodbye. Never saw her again, but whoever married her got to enjoy some great sex!
PPKM moved to Level 2 in Jakarta. What's open now?
Anyone have any information on what the tightening means for clubs like malioboro? Restaurants and shopping centers must close at 9:00 pm. I assume clubs also? Anyone on the ground with an update?
I also was told that the Peduli app now requires proof of booster? Any truth in that?
I'm considering a trip in August.
