    I won't go into reasons, just boredom I suppose, but I have been chatting to both Filipino and Thai girls over the last year and have found Thai girls more likely to be in work, maybe because there is so much money being sent to families in Philippines from overseas workers and they have been made lazy, or the economy is not as good.

    Language is a problem in Thailand though, but I do like Thailand and prefer the food.
    The Philippines is much more western and the culture is not so different to ours.

    Thailand and its people are far removed from western culture.
    Thai people don't even think along the same lines us.

    OMG you're right there.

    Absolutely don't want to go too deeply into this, but it's nuts how some people compare Thai's to Pinoy. Maybe it's both coming from SE Asia, and some people have trouble telling the difference. It's a bit like this - some say the Scots and English are different, and we've been in the same country for centuries. Few would deny there's a different temperament between say the British and Greeks or Spanish - and these are all Christian (nominally) countries.

    Thais in religion, outlook, temperament and many others are very different to Filipinos. Neither is "better" of course, just different.

    Many people have come a cropper going into relationships with Thais, as they have failed to realise a huge culture and temperament difference.

    Well, that and there's a disproportionate number of men going on holiday there and getting entirely the wrong end of the stick with many young women working in the resorts.

    PS Thai food is awesome, one of the best in the world

    It's easy to tell the difference between Thailanders and Filipino's......Thailanders cannot say "Sainsburys" and Filipinos cannot say "Sheet" without it sounding like something else! lol

    Try asking a Thai to say RED RIVER = wed wiver

    How about this Pinoy expression: "I don't know to you?"
