What SE Asian county has the best girls? To compare Thailand and Philippines, I made this short cheat list:
It seems like Thailand has:
Bangkok: Ms. K.K. from Thailand
- Great infra-structure (roads, electric Skytrain that works, free internet access points all over the city), great shopping selection and reasonable prices.
- Delicious Thai food!
- Friendly straight girls (girls with day jobs who do not dabble in the nightime/entertainment business), but they appear to be harder to seduce and bed than Filipinas.
- Japanese tourists, and a chance to meet Asian females from affluent Japan.
- Tall Thai girls that dress like they stepped out of a fashion magazine, even if working in a poor paying office job! —- They spend more money on clothes and grooming than Filipinas.
- Taxis that do not look like they are falling apart. And, the average taxi fare is only about a US $1.50.
- Streets are safe for walking late at night in any part of the Bangkok city.
- The girls do not understand half of what you are saying – because of poor understanding of English, and you will understand even less of what they are saying.
It seems like Philippines has:
- Extremely friendly and sexy girls – but mostly dirt poor.
- Some safe parts (like Makati) and other areas of Manila that are not safe.
Cebu: Ms. E. from the Philippines
- Always hassled by beggars and kids that ask for money at traffic lights and on the street.
- Short girls (average high around 4’11″).
- Some girls are very cute with mixed Euro or Chinese blood.
- Slums and poor people scamming and trying to make a living on internet and elsewhere.
- Taxies that have rigged meters or cab drivers that love to take you for unannounced tour around town.
- Excellent communications because everyone speaks English.
So, where would you live – Thailand or Philippines?
Do you prefer a country where girls are taller and things work most of the time i.e. phone, electricity, internet etc? –
Or, do you prefer a country with tons of short, cute girls that are extremly friendly, but has poor infrastructure outside a small pocket of Makati in Metro Manila?
Pick your poison. (smile)
HERE’S THE ONLY THING I ASK

PS I have recently been traveling to the Philippines – Makati, Manila, Boracay and Cebu – and I must say the the people are extremely friendly and speak perfect English, anywhere in Philippines. It is my favorite place at the moment. Perhaps I will retire to the Philippines. (smile)

I personally prefer Thailand, but not for the women.
i just feel more comfortable there.
As far as saying a Thai or Philipna is better , is not a reasonable question. The individul personality does come in to it.I have read all these responses to the question, and experienced both , and found what people are saying is true about both to a degree, but not totally.
But my opinion , if you had to choose, i think in the long term , marrying a Philipina would probably be a better decicision. Some Thai women can be a bit shallow sometimes, but not all .
I have been married to a Thai lady for 12 years, and her family will always come first, as maybe the case of Phlipina women too, but not as much.
At the end of the day, i think there is not a whole lot of difference.Just make sure before you commit. Do your home work and be careful, to avoid any of the problems.
In other words, don’t rush in to a marriage with either.
One thing i forgot to mention, the Philpina woman wins in the looks department slighly on points, just….in my opinion that is.
I’m a white American and have been to the Philippines 3 times, but never to Thailand. I was married to a beautiful Filipina for 6 years before the stress of our fighting was too much to handle. We loved each other very much, but her selfish and immature nature eventually drove me away. Money and materialism was a constant battle and if the sex wasn’t so great we would have split much sooner. My current gf is Pinay also, and is much more humble. I hope to avoid the mistake of allowing her to become “Americanized” and unappreciative like my ex. Eventually I will retire in the Philippines, and I hope it will be with this one as my wife for the rest of our lives. Wish me luck! We will be meeting for the first time in March after nearly 2 years of online communication.
Very nice to hear about your experiences with the Filipinas. Your new girlfriend sounds great, but do not sell the farm until you have met her in person. Online dating can be a bit of an illusion. Spending 24 hours per day in the same house can be different – as I am sure you know. (smile)
My two year relationship with a Thai girl ended in a confusing disaster. Later I thought about the basic differences between how men and women think. Now consider the historical and cultural differences between America and Thailand; the differences between being raised in an affluent society vs. a “third world” country; being from a Buddhist country vs. a Christian one; and finally allow for the language difficulties (with different alphabets!). Now I think it would be amazing if we truly did have any idea of what the other was really thinking and feeling. It’s easy to assume you do, but just think about it. . .
P.S. I’m not giving up on Asian girls. I’m trying a Filipina this time!
I wish all the luck KEN, I do hope that Filipina you will be marrying is for a lifetime, just be good and understanding. Marrying a Filipina is like marrying the entire family. Read more about the Filipino cultures and traditions and learn to save something. Do not rush into marriage, talking online and talking in person is far different.
PHIL, before going to Asia try to read about the culture and tradition of the particular country you will be going. Apparently, there is a big difference between America and Asia.
@Phil: Can you give some details on the “disaster”? Do you have an example of the cultural difference?
Dr. Love (Nils) – The “disaster” I referred to was simply that the relationship ended so suddenly. I thought I had treated her so well, not just ‘wine-ing and dining’ her but also doing my best to help her in her day-to-day life (like clothes, a motorbike, gifts to her family and help getting a passport, driver’s license, and a divorce. We spent every minute together(about 140 days total over 3 visits). We laughed a lot, went everywhere, and did everything. It seemed we got along as well as a 64 year old man could with a 28 year old lady. The only friction I can recall was her getting irritated with me for giving money to beggars or spending too freely (“No give them – give me!”). Maybe I spoiled her by being so generous with her (and the material let-downs when I’d leave were too much for her?). I was home about a month and was in the process of preparing to bring her here to Hawaii with me for a visit (on a 90 day “honeymoon visa”) when she informed me she had taken up with another foreigner! She indicated that she needed the money and seemed to expect me to understand (?). Wow! I was shocked. I have never mis-read a situation or person so completely. I’m still puzzled and disappointed by the way it ended. Any thoughts?
@Phil: Ok, now I understand better. This is almost the exact same thing that happened to me and my ex-Thai girlfriend.
I spent a lot of time with my ex-Thai GF, gave her 20k baht per month pocket money plus paid rent and all utilities. We were ready to get married, but one day when I said NO to buying a new car and a condo, she did not come home.
Lesson: Thai girls are fantastic, but LOVE = MONEY in the mind of young Thai girls. If you refuse to provide the cash they want they will think you do not love them, and they will leave if there is a better suitor…
Sorry to say – but I am hoping to find a good Filipina next. (smile)
Hello Friends, I am 50 years myself and feel that it is ridiculous to believe that a girl with a considerable age gap stays with you for love. Over the last 25 years I had a lot of Asian girls but those to whom I was closely attached the age gap was max. 15 years which is a lot already. With Internet and a global world no normal 28 year old girl want even to marry me without financial interest but even less a 64 year old Grandpa. This also refers to Filipina girls, I knew two couples with 25 years age gap where the girls need sexual satisfaction and looked for an outside bed relationship.WAKE UP MR.PHIL YOU PUT US WHITE GUYS IN SHAME. I suggest you get a 36 years younger girl in your place and spare poor Thai or Filipina girls LOL
Its so unfair for us filipinas to generalized like its only materials things we were after of those westernians.I had a short relationship with an american, he visited me here in the phils. during his stay here, i never asked him any money, nor to but me any.. In fact what he brought himself is only 80$ cash and his credit card. I was the one who spent on some little spendings when i can..Because on my own reasoning, its love im after, a true man but unfortunately he changed his mind due to his friends influence that filipinas are golddiggers…he got no balls to stand by me. well, it was a lesson i got learned..and he was 19 years older than me…and i love him truly even he had erectal dysfunction..
first of all, be sure that the thai youre dating is really a female….not a dude-most of the time it is hard to tell
@blezz that was so sad girl.. sorry to hear ..
For me, Well you just proved that not all Filipina girl are GOLD DIGGER.. Because I’m Filipina too and i assure you we do not like what they think ..
-At my part, this is my first time to have relationship online with a White American and I LOVE him SO MUCH and i know he love me as well ..I really hate talking about money! Sorry I’m not that kind of girl.(loving someone just for money?! No way!so don’t think that all Filipina are gold digger!)
-My online Boyfriend tried to ask me to send me money and i tell him i won’t! i won’t because i want to know him that i’m not selling my love for him .
Money is powerful, it can buy anything all you wanted. but for me it’s just waste and destroys your TRUST and relationship. Am i right?
-Well by now i’m enjoying sending him some gift to show to him how much i really love him of course he did as well, and he’s planning too to get here and meet me in person . Of course i’m so excited to meet him in person , And i wish after we’ve meet nothing will change
Well I have read a lot of the comments here and agree both Thai and Filipino girls have faults. This is of course due to the extreme poverty in both countries. I married a Filipina 12 years my junior, but our love was not motivated by money. She is one of only two “Bread Winners” in the family which proves to me she was not out for my money, and was working hard to support her son and family! (and not by selling herself to first N/A guy that walked up to her). I too looked elsewhere outside North Am because due to the N/A culture of “Hollywood” where there is no commitment beyond (If I like you for now you can stay) I was tired of the BS N/A women spout. to me they are more materialistic than any of these Asian Girls. I would challenge any N/A girl to live the life of some of these poor Asian girls. I bet half would commit suicide in 3 years. That being said, my Filipina wife is the best thing to happen to me. She is Moira says, “Loyal” beyond death! I know this Filipina (Who is from the provinces) can’t do enough to please me, she puts her Husband first! Because of that I put “Her” first! That’s what builds “Love” not Money!BTW She is the sweetest fun loving woman I have ever known! (And sooo cute) What a sweet little package! (And she is middle aged to boot)! All her friends seem to be to me as shes is. If you look for love in all the wrong places you will find all the wrong woman! Look to the normal everyday girls not the Barflies or Internet dating sites! The best way is to meet them though any Filipina friends or co-workers, There you will find the true Filipina’s My choice hands down!
Thoughtful and interesting, thank you. I was brought up in the philipines but moved to australia at such a young age I can hardly remember anything apart from the delicious food. I finally found some authentic Filipino recipes if you want to have a look, I thought I’d share it with you!
i’m thai girl… and i’m not that kind of thai girl that suck money = =”
feel bad hearing this though…. i think it’s better you find the wife or gf in your own country who understanding and fair, who can communicate you well and won’t suck your money, and one suggestion, you won’t find a good girl in any whore place (club, disco, bla bla bla) except you are a lucky person.
and please do not compare. there are many bad and good people around the world.
and.. I’M THAI , if i love someone, i would take care of him well, care him, and do whatever i can do for him. money is needed but not everything. =(
HERE IN PHILIPPINES OUR POPULATION IS MORE THAN 100MILLION
ALREADY. VERY NORMAL THAT HERE ARE EVERY KIND PEOPLE, RICH AND POOR AND VERY POOR, IN DIFFERENT SIZES AND SHAPES, GOOD AND BAD…EVERYTHING HERE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER COUNTRY’S. WHY DON’T YOU GUYS LOOK FOR A WOMAN WHOSE LIVING IN THE SAME COUNTRY LIKE YOU. EASY TO DIVORCE, NO MUCH OF RISK AND SAME CULTURE, WHY YOU GUYZ ARE HERE IN ASIA SEARCHING FOR WOMEN TO MARRY AND THEN END UP ONLY COMPLAINING? WHAT IS GOOD WITH ASIAN WOMEN COMPARED TO YOUR COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY FILIPINA’S AND THAI’S? IF YOU WANT THIS KIND RELATIONSHIPS THEN RISK IS ALWAYS PRESENT AND YOU GUYZ OUT THERE WHO THINKS YOU ARE SMARTER THAN US DO YOUR THING, DONT COMPLAIN!!!
Come on folks, whats the point in comparing Thai and Phil girls/women? Being married to a Thai wife and good friend to some Pinay I can only say that there are good and bad ones here and there. And the bad ones are just the same no matter where they come from. I suppose thats just the way it is when a mostly rural background is paired with all the temptations of a modern age world. Family structures and their demands play a big role too – again no difference here cause they’re a necessity in countries without any social security. And if you want to speak of the bad whether its Thai bar girls or Phil cam girls, they all have the same sob stories to tell and will milk the loveblind white fool in just the same manner.
Well spoken – and I have to agree.
Dr. Smile
John Doe – I also agree. You made a couple good observations about Asian’s “rural” background vs. the modern world and the lack of a social security system. The more we know about the other culture, the better we can handle ourselves.
I chose Thailand to retire in and have no regrets.
I’ve never been to Thailand or philipines but i have friends who has done the circuit in Thailand and to sum it up: good in fucking, very money orientated. Thai ladys loyality is with her always frail and sick mother before you.
For 2 years i have had a Stormy online relationship with a pinay lady.
She is beautiful educated extreamly loyal but can be grumpy and moody
She has never Asked for money and has sent very intimate pics. Her english is very good and their Christian culture is very similar to ours.
I plan to retire there with her, we have met aldready and no request has been denied in bed. Gap is 15 yrs, seems ok w her. Only worry is crime and i frastructure
Hmm, I have dated many, many girls from both Thailand and Philly and spent much time in both countries (for work and pleasure).
I gotta say I find both countries are full of extremely sweet, very beautiful, and very loving woman. Yes, the infrastructure is much better in Thailand and the place is much safer for westerners. I also find the the extreme buddist beliefs much easier on my brain then the bloody Christianity of the Phillipines. It is mostly a nice and logical philisophy. Yet, the english in the Phillipines is so much greater it does make conversation far more enjoyable, and actually makes life far easier when you can take part in daily conversations of those around you.
But, my experiences does follow on to some of what has been said here about money. I love the Thai culture – as much of it I have learned so far anyway – but I couldn’t help but get the impression from my Thai girlfreinds that my money was a big part of why they fell in “love” with me so quickly. This is not a condemnation, however – a man’s ability to support a woman is a key criteria for mate selection in every culture – including the west. It just seemed to be elevated here in Thailand. And no, I am not 15 years older than them and I am fit and attractive too… but the hunch that I was a “meal ticket” (and a status symbol – man, they loved showing me off to their friends) never really went away. That said, they took care of me in the sweetest, kindest, lovingest way. Doted on me hand and foot from waking to sunset. Easy to like.
My Filipina girlfreinds where much easier to talk to (better english) and so we were able to have deeper, more important conversations. They doted on my aswell and I did get the sense that their “love” was more sincere – that if I was much poorer she would still be by my side. But maybe that was simply because their was no language barrier and so we could get more emotionally connected. I don’t know.
In both cases the strength of their family bonds is a bit much for me. I admire this part of their society, but I don’t really like the idea of marrying her whole damn family and joining in the role of taking care of every parent, cousin, niece and water buffalo that needs an operation. Guess my western WASP roots are just counter to this communal survial strategy. I do admire their loyalty to each other and willingess to sacrifice much for each other, but I don’t really want to join it. Selfish, perhaps.
Anyway, that is just some of my random thougts on the topic.
Oh, and as far a pure physical beauty goes:
Man, a tough one! It’s funny, but I recall having a debate on this one with myself. At the time I actually had two girlfriends at the same time: one a Filipina, the other a Thai (sorry ladies, I can be a bad guy on occassion). They both ranked in the most beautiful women I have ever seen – anywhere in the world – and I marvelled at them (and my good fortune) every time I saw them.
I tried to figure out which one was the “most” beautiful, and I flipflopped back and forth depending on which one I was with. So, whichever of the two I was with I would think “yep, she is indeed the most beautiful!”. And then I would meet the other and go “hmm, I was wrong, this one is the most beautiful”. In the end, it didn’t matter at all. They learned the truth about the other (and about me) and their beauty was not sufficient to mask their anger. I fled for my life. Poor girls…, sorry about that!
And then I met another woman, from Thailand, who was even MORE beautiful than the previous two!! And possibly even sweeter and a lot of fun. Great in bed too… wow! But, it turns out she is a freelance hooker – which she did not hide from me, mind you, but I did not know it at the time we first met. And she let me know that I was just one of a few men she would see. Ha! How the tables had turned! Her complete honesty about it, and that I could not have “all” of her seemed to make me all the more attracted to her. She didn’t need me, would not fall in love with me, or pretend to – no games at all with her. I was just some fun on the side!! (though she did claim I was the best lover she ever had – true or not it worked as far as swelling my ego!).
Ahh, women! Gotta love them!!
