Hey guys, I’m having a bit of an internal debate about where my money would be better spent for my next trip.

I’ve been going to Bangkok about three times a year for the past four years and always have a great time. But between the go-gos, nuru massages, and girly bars, I usually end up spending around $1,000 AUD for just one week.

On the other hand, I went to Makati once for work. I was there for only three days and checked out Burgos, but honestly, I was pretty confused. The red-light scene there is nothing like Bangkok—it felt like everyone was trying to scam me, and I couldn’t even figure out how to spend my money best because I didn’t really understand how things worked in Manila.

So yeah, I’m just looking for some advice. I’m planning my next trip and feeling torn between going back to Bangkok or giving Manila another shot.

Part of me is also thinking of challenging myself and going to Manila purely for dating—meeting girls on apps and seeing if I can hook up on the first night. But I also don’t understand the whole gifting thing etc. I’m not bad-looking and think I could pull it off, I’ve just gotten lazy with the whole punting lifestyle.

Anyway, would appreciate any insight or experiences you can share. Cheers.
