I went to both countries in my twenties and thoroughly enjoyed both. Beyond some overly strong beer in the Philippines and maybe a joint or two in the rural parts of Thailand, I didn't engage in any of the stereotypical behavior, though I definitely saw it.
I guess now that I'm in my fifties, I'm not allowed to go back because it would be a matter of course that I'd pick up some teen bride, right?
But seriously, both countries are so, so beautiful. I've got less than zero desire to ever go to Hawaii after island hopping in the Philippines. As to Thailand, it's just so calm. Like you're not even capable of being stressed there. (Unless of course, you're smuggling drugs around and find yourself on the business end of a prison cell door. Then yer fucked)
Strong beer? You must be American. Months Payton said:
I regularly drink American beer than is in the 9%-10% range, please don't lump us all into the crap beer drinkers.
All the jokes about water beer are from before the craft beer scene blew up in the U.S. Give me a selection of craft beers and I'll put them against any beer in the world.
Yep definitely this. I was surprised that all the craft ales are like 10%! And there are lots of them!
