Once upon a time, Manila might be considered over Bangkok for low cost of mongering. But it's now about the same.
Sorry, but I disagree. Everything is more expensive in the Philippines. Hotels are especially expensive, food is cheap-ish but the portions are tiny, girls are always trying to haggle for way more money. Lots of tourist traps with "dollar rates" meaning American prices for less quality or service.
Having said that, go to Manila if you want a GF-like experience. ST is short time and good for a pop or two. LT is much longer, and you could take her away from work and get a girl to go with you for days or even weeks. Yes they live boring lives and have nothing interesting to talk about, but at least they speak good enough English. You can probably talk about the most mainstream movies. Don't keep contact after you've left the country because the girl will constantly bug you for money with a long list of sob stories.
I've never done a long stint with a Thai girl, but that's mainly because I can't have a conversation with them.
Even if you forget about sex tourism, Thailand has way more things to do and to see. |
