Like any country, the Philippines has its good and bad areas.
Largely depending upon ones interets and requirements.
Cebu and Manila both have world-class hospitals.
Living costs are very reasonable, plus it is perhaps the most westernised country in SE Asia, and almost everthing that foreigners want can be bought there. Although, western goods are considerably more expensive than local items, and sometimes as dear as "at home".
Loads of things to do, from sailing and all sorts of sports, through to nightlife.
The scenery is some of the best in the world, and one could spend a considerable amount of time touring around.
English is widely spoken.
And, if you ever hanker for chatting to some people from your "home2 country, there are almost certainly some living there.
Those are just some of the reasons it is a popular destination. _________________ The Middle Eastern states aren't nations; they're quarrels with borders.- P. J. O'Rourke
Well.well,finally a room that has opinions I could agree with.I vote for the Philippines,for most of the reasons mentions....beautiful women(much more so than Chinese or Vietnamese)beautiful weather,very inexpensive in most places,decent infrastructure and facilities-again,in most places-and my favorite...you can get or do almost anything you want-in some cases,as long as you don't get caught. Haven't been to Thailand-other than Bangkok for a layover-no pun- and I loved the temples and such.Perhaps if I get to other places, my opinion will change,but I doubt it.The only downsides to PI is that the government sucks here-even worse than some people in here say the US does-and that the people are not paid a decent livable wage.No trickle down economy here .
If any of this has swayed you all to check it out,I have some real estate to sell you . Really!!!!!!!!!!! Check out my better half's website..lovedorialrealty.com-unless you happen to be tax,but then I doubt he'd leave his beloved Cambodia anyway.Caio
I support Vietnam but it depends on each person and his/her situation. _________________ Purchase airline tickets, make hotel reservations, find vacation packages, car rental & cruise deals at a local reliable travel agent in Vietnam. http://vietnamsunrisetravel.com/
