Hi /trv/, ausfag here.

Thinking of going on a holiday to SE Asia, somewhere like thailand or the phillipines. Budget would be about $2000 after airfare. Any suggestions on where to go, etc? Also, how long will $2000 last me? Cheers.

so hows the whole sex tourism scene in vietnam?...would go to thailand but the girls are ugly, I have a thing for viet girls

I was in Indonesia for 2 months and I spent less than
$1000 so that in mind your $2000 should last you there over 4 months. Extremely cheap weed, nice muslim girls to fuck (I kid you not) and peace.

good idea ... go to an impoverished country and become the reason why they hate westerners.

white male = sexual retard.

take your 2 grand (which is fuck all money anyways) and go to a strip joint. get all the fucky fucky you want from vietnamese girls without the airfare.

I'm not going for mere sexual pleasure, i want an actual holiday!

Anyway, thanks for all who have replied, keep 'em coming!

if you want an 'actual' holiday, go to laos and cambodia. laos is cheap as hell and it's freaking awesome.

burma - awesome
cambodia - awesome
malaysia - awesome
indonesia - awesome (except bali, which sucks)

vietnam - sucks
thailand - sucks
singapore - double sucks

if you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to make your money go further, go to india.

you can stay there for at least 6 months on your money. i spent about $25 a day, and that was living it up!

Fuck India... not racist, but I am surrounded by them here in Australia - don't need to go to see the same shit. Out of the awesome places you mentioned, which have the hottest women?

Also, just been reading about Cebu in the Philippines... anyone on /trv/ been before? What's it like?

mate, i'm an aussie and india's not like the fucking sand monkeys living in oz. india is an amazing place. the culture is freaking everywhere. blows your mind.

of the 'awesome' list, go to indonesia. girls are gorgeous and cheap (if that's your thing). it's not touristy and you can see amazing shit every day. bali's full of aussie and kiwi wankers. keep the fuck away from there.

laos would rate as #3 (behind india and indonesia) it's still under developed, meaning there are less tourists and more interesting culture. luang prabang (in the north) and vang vieng are amazing.

cambodia is worth the visit, just to hang at angkor wat for 3 days and have fun exploring. it's also a great place with lots of culture.

cebu is all slums and hotels for fat germans or black americans who wanna party but cant pick up western chicks. they treat filippino girls like shit. if you really want to go to philippines, go to boracay. it's among the most expensive places in PI, but it's still cheap if you watch your spending.

Hey there fellow aussies and /trv/ posters! OK, th OP is obviously not into it for the Sex Tour (although i think he's full of shit - he'd be banging away like no-one's business!)
Of all the places listed, which would be the best places for a good ol fuckfest? (paid and not paid?)

OP here, thanks for your insights and opinions. I'll look into the places you mentioned for sure mate - as long as it's cheap, has nice beaches and nice women, i really don't care which one i go to (but obviously the cheaper the better!)

>>62291
Well obviously I'm not going to say no if the opportunity arises :) but i'm not going there just to hire hookers, i can do that here! Non-hookers, on the other hand... :P

Keep the suggestions coming /trv/, you guys are really helpful, and you have my thanks and many internets in advance!

Indonesia is fucking awesome, we spent some time of our trip in Indonesia living with former GAM freedomfighters on a small island. They told us all kinds of stories about the war (which only ended a few years ago) smuggling drugs into Thailand to trade weapons from the Thailand mafia which controls the seaports and shit. Some really nice times, smoking and taking it easy. That time kind of reminded me of the movie the Beach, cuz the guerillas grow fields and fields of weed in the forest and if you ask them they can take you on a short trip to the fields and you can smoke all you want and swim in a small freshwater lake afterwards :D. PARADISE, I say.

Depends on what do you want to do actually.

If you want beaches, jungle treks and national parks, Malaysia is the place for you. Accommodation is cheap, and you'd have some extra cash for shopping afterwards. It's cleaner than Indonesia so that's a plus.

For bars and nightlife, I'd go to thailand, but they are kinda in some sort of political upheaval for now, I guess it'd be wise to give it a skip. They only recently opened the airport in Phuket.

Phillipines, I've never spent more than 3 days in Manila so I'm not very sure what's good there.The slums and traffic is actually pretty bad.

Laos and Cambodia is your destination if you want to blow your load into some unsuspecting 3rd world children.

Indonesia is fuckhuge, so it depends which Island you're going to. I kinda liked Bali and Yogya. The Highlands in Medan is good as well. Jakarta is pig disgusting.

Singapore. eh. I'm from Singapore. I simply have no idea why people come here. I'm sure Australia has better cities than what we have to offer.

It's ok. Although it's good if you want a cultural trip of sorts, and a bit of resting as well.

I suggest either Boracay or Palawan if you're into beaches. Boracay is a better option although expect coughing up more cash.

As for the mainland parts, one thing, MALLS. Philippines has a shitload of em. Mall of Asia, Glorietta, SM Megamall and TriNoma are good places to start.

and what is the place for the best sex tour?

If you go to the Philippines stay the fuck in Makati. It's a westernized area with a big security presence.

Stay the fuck away from the shiny buses that have been painted up way too much.

Most of the Philippines is sweaty and pestilential - filled with short swarthy thieves and dengue fever. They're too Spanish to be interesting culturally, and they have some sort of racial inferiority complex (they'll love you if you're white).

Don't go to the Philippines. I've been twice, only because my mum's from there. Go Thailand or Laos.

I have lived in SEA for a few years. Here is what I always tell everyone. If you haven't been, go to Thailand. It is cliched and shitty, and you WILL get ripped off and seduced by freelance pros, likely tourguide sellers. Anywho, just keep that in the back of your mind, wrap up your cock and get all the fucking out of your system forever. Yeah, you can go to Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma (if the border is open) (inB4 Mayanmar faggot) Laos and Indo-fucking-nesia on side trips. But Thailand will likely be your base. After your cock is worn out, and you get back home, plan your next rip to the Philippines.

Manila is like BKK, which is basically the Los Angeles of the asian world. Fuck that shit. Nobody likes it.

Go to Cebu. It is a great "clean" (relatively) city. Plenty of shit to do there.

Go to Siargao. Great beach, waves, surf, etc. Great scene.

Boracay. Recognizable as a typical SEA resort town, but still a hell of a lot better than Ko Pangnan or Ko Samui.

Go to Baguio. Interesting food, art, culture, city.

Go to Sagada. Full of mountains, hanging coffins, food, rice terraces, water buffalo, etc.

The part you will love 1,000,000 times better about the Philippines will be that the locals don't really give a fuck if you are caucasian. They have been dealing with whitey for 350 years, and could give a fuck. Also, tourists don't like it here, for whatever reason. It is an Island nation, that makes day trips a little inconvenient, so I figure that keeps most of them out.

Good luck.

Don't go to Baguio, it's become a piece of shit city or more like the Manila of the North. Overcrowded, too many street vendors, and pollution has fucked that city up.
