Time for a change - unbiased opinion needed.
Hi all,
A question not about Thailand/BKK at all, rather about Cambodia vs Philippines.
After 12 or so visits to Thailand, I've decided next time (next year) I will split my 10 days between LOS and one of the above places.
I am asking here cause I figure some of you guys may have done both. If I post in the Phil section, 90% will say the Phil, hands down, and ditto for the Cambodian post.
Already, I'm leaning towards Cambodia, for convenience sake - just a cheap Air Asia flight away so easy to tie into a trip to Bkk and also for the 'wild west' atmosphere I've been reading about - I've been to some pretty dodgy places - Colombia, Mexico and Central America, Jo'burg, Nairobi (Nairobbery) to name a few and it seems well cheap too.
It seems as though the general opinion though is that The Philippines have better looking woman and an atmosphere similiar to Thailand.
Dunno......anyone care to offer an opinion. Don't mean to tie up this forum about other countries so feel free to pm.....it will be much appreciated.
Cheers.

Thailand is the better place to live, but I think the Philippines is the better place to party. Cambodia, cheap but not great to live, and not that great to party. Give it a few years. So it all depends on what's most important to you: creature comforts (Thailand), availability of women (Philippines) or price (cambodia).
Free Tickets To Bangkok On Air Asia
I know this sounds weird but air asia is giving away 100,000 free tickets (minus taxes) to thailand as a part of a tourism promotion due to the unrest.
Unfortunately these are flights originating in asia! If only there were steals and deals from nyc. The lowest I see is $1000.
I am still working on thailand. I hope to be there next month but I have not gotten my act together yet. It takes awhile.
Ready set go....
