And let's all be intelligent and know what we say before we say it, otherwise we'll be laughable. I won't respond to you, but remember, stop the funny politics that millions including you, get involved in and that millions' lives aren't changed anyway by that very funny color politics.

Spot on. For travelers, cost of accommodation and internet service are King. The Philippines' introduction of a 3rd telecommunications company has improved internet connection .... but still only to a certain extent. And, what's more, the company is now involved in financial problems. The Philippines also still lacks the number of cell towers needed to support demand for good service. It remains to be seen if Manila can seriously improve on this problem in the coming years. Hotel pricing must be brought down - without sacrificing quality service and amenities - to gain customers. An extensive survey of hotels with the same pricing levels across different countries - especially in the Southeast Asian region - must be done for getting a better idea of how, say, Philippine hotels compare to other countries' hotels in the same star category ... and, thus, how they can restrategize their marketing mix of their hotels to keep them competitive - because higher prices result to lower duration of stay ... or, even, none at all.

Nice review, though I guess your thought was still partial on the Metro Manila comparison, following you guys with your PH trip, you haven't visited yet other business districts of Metro Manila like Filinvest City, Madrigal Business Park, Greenfield District, Araneta City, Ortigas Center, ASEANA City, key areas of Quezon City like Vertis North, UP TechnoHub, Katipunan Ave, Centris, etc. places that should be included before comparing to Bangkok. I agreed on the connectivity that Bangkok is ahead so far, but wait until those "under construction infra" are done like the MRT 7, Metro Manila Full Subway Train, Makati Subway system, BGC Monorail system, MRT 4 Line, LRT 2 west extension, LRT 1 Cavite to Manila, PNR Line Manila to Clark, Cavite-Bataan-Manila Bay Mega Bridge, the New Manila International Airport and Sangley Point International Airport, these are all 3-5 yrs projects in nearby completion. I guess if connectivity is the issue these would give other Asian Cities a run for their money sooner. Also, to include, those private flagship projects along Manila Bay at the back of SM MOA, in totality that's 50 reclamation projects, 8 of that are already started the dredging along the bay to create more modern "BGC-like islands": Horizon Manila Project - 419 hectares, Solar City Manila 148 hectares, Pasay Harbor City Center - 265 hectares, City of Pearl Manila - 407 hectares, Solaire Cruise Ship City Terminal - 50 hectares, Navotas Reclamation Coastal Bay - 650 hectares, New Manila Bay International Community - 407 hectares, and Manila Waterfront City- 318 hectares. So imagine if all these are completed in the next 10 - 15 yrs along Manila Bay? To give a mathematical comparison, BGC is only 240 hectares. Thanks, and sorry for the long post. :)

Philipines is not a connected country so it's very difficult to travel to each island. Unlike Thailand, it's one mainland where you can travel to any place easily.

Bangkok is bigger. Richer. More tourists. Much bigger GDP. Much smaller population.

[@gangstagummybear3432]

Richer as far as the amount of money on hand, just not compared to money that Philippines has but has no access to, It has more tourists, Ill agree, Chinese people have claimed the place, definitely a bigger GDP on hand

Manila was heavily damaged during the WW2. Fyi, After Poland Philippines came second as the most damaged countries during the WW2..... that's why most of our beautiful heritage homes, churches, bridges, buildings during the Spanish era and some from American era were gone. I would also like to comment that u are wrong to say that the best beaches and islands are far (needs to fly) from Manila. There is Batangas (1 hr ride from Manila), Puerto Galera (2 hrs drive and boat from Manila), Quezon (2-3 hrs drive from Manila), Zambales (3 hrs drive from Manila), Pangasinan & La Union (5 hrs drive from Manila). There are so many paradise places near Manila

[@shadowofyourwings4120]

Thailand is the richer country. Their GDP is more than double than PH's. Maybe one of the reasons PH is not as developed is because it's an archipelago of many islands, so it's harder to manage economically. And also, we are in the Typhoon belt and in the Pacific Ring of Fire as well, hence the frequent calamities we experience. But inspite of all the challenges we face, we remain happy people, and one of the friendliest in the world. And we are also one of the fastest growing economies in Asia, btw. So hopeful that things will continue to improve. But just want to correct you about beaches here in PH. There are actually great beaches in Luzon too that you can travel to by land from Manila, like those in Zambales, Pangasinan (Hundred Islands National Park), Batangas and Camarines Sur (with its Caramoan Island, shooting location of Survivor reality show.) Though they will take a few hours to reach, esp. Cam Sur coz that's further down south. Will take an entire day.

[@melaniemoreno9595]

Hey what did you say PH gdp is double with TH? Th gdp i think 500B+ and PH gdp is 400B+ .TH ahead a bit, thier metro transpo is easier than metro manila. Its because too many tourist flocking thats why they need them to ease the transpo by easy access in the city. PH is behind in terms of transpo/insfras but we are going there. Its under constractions our subways and connecting the train system in coming years lets see.

@@melaniemoreno9595 I just got the data from wiki pedia 2021 data according to IMF. Maybe it's now been updated. Plus i was talking about GDP per capita coz we have larger population...

@@melaniemoreno9595Shadow of Your Wings may be referring to GDP per capita. As of 2021, Thailand's GDP per capita is US$7,233 vs. the Philippines' US$3,572 - roughly 2:1 ratio (according to one Internet source). The real GDP figures are estimated at US$506 trillion for TH and US$394 trillion for PH during the same year.

[@melaniemoreno9595]

@@tepin1955 i assume is gdp not per capita,thats understandable PH population is double than the TH population. 2022 estimated PH gdp is about 400B hopefully it will more than that and it become true. We are our own way as developing country. The growth of Th now is stagnant to 2-3% when Ph growth is 6-7%. Im not bragging but theres a chance that PH can be ahead to Th in next coming years.Vietnam is also good in gdp growth. Its either PH or Vietnam will overtake TH.I'll be happy if every country in south east asia are develop at the same time and leave nothing behind

[@alanbuzeta1980]

I find your comparison right on the money! You are correct about higher hotel rates in Manila vs Bangkok and your second point concerning wifi which is very true. Both places have a multitude of sights and activities to offer. I must say Manila would pull away from Bangkok when it comes to communication or interaction with the people. Both people are friendly but with the Filipinos...their grasp of the english language is quite good or adequate(especially in the metropolitan!). You may actually build a real relationship with them! By this I mean discuss history, current events, arts and even philosophy! Philippine private schools are generally high standard, with english as the lingua franca. Except for Miriam(formerly Maryknoll) college, all private schools were started by European religious settlers. They were either sent or asked by the queen of Spain starting the 1500's. All this could be interesting reads if you really want to know more! I hope I shed some light on the not so simple Filipino psyche...300 years in the convent and 50 years of hollywood. That sums it up. In a nutshell.

In manila, the privately developed areas are wonderful places to visit. They clean and orderly. But it is almost always the opposite with the public or government areas. Chaos on the streets, the sidewalks, above with those spaghetti aerial wires, unregulated buildings, and dilapidated facilies among other things. The problem is that they do not just ride on the system to accumulate wealth but worse... they are also INCOMPETENT.

Hey Jetsetter Dan great 👍 job on compare and contrast on both cities. As far as the wifi problem we're having here on Manila, it's due to the presence of greedy oligarchs who control the market, and hence no competition or little exist, there are maybe three of them controlling it and holds back quality. Can't wait when the Korean 5G players come in so the can compete along with these guys and improve our internet experience a bit. Thx pugi!
