Which is superior for "budget travel"? I'm fed up with the loneliness of the West and wanna be human again.
>>
>>2725971
Thailand for parties, Vietnam for culture, Malaysia for "normal" lifestyle for cheap.
>>
Cure your incelism at home fren, then travel
>>
>>2725980
honestly good survey
>>2725971
OP if you want on demand company, especially sexual, i can't recommend pattaya enough. if you're willing to pay than doubly so.

you can fuck a different girl everyday if you want. ive heard vietnam is better for finding a gf
>>
I wonder if the coomer tall tales about Thailand are actually true.
>>
>>2725971
25 hours until my flight to Bangkok. Hopefully I will visit every country besides Myanmar this winter. Hell, maybe even Myanmar, who knows.
>fed up with the loneliness of the West
>wants to travel to a part of the world known for its high social barriers between locals and tourists
If you're a Cheap Charlie or otherwise have a hatred of the friendly hustle, you are setting yourself up for disillusionment. Likewise if being around normies paypigging to have mindless fun gets you seething and bitter.
>>2726020
The fun you'll have in Thailand all depends on how many baht you are willing to throw around. Some people can't cope with the amiable pragmatism of nightlife good vibes in SEA. Their entire life is built around a craving for profound and unique human connection, and they are not going to find this in Thailand, so they feel deeply dissatisfied and contemptuous of the mindless hedonistic fun all around them.

Others feel liberated by the simplicity and common sense of the nightlife scene... even when it means they spend more on nightlife activities than they do on all other in-country expenses combined.

Is Thailand the only good SEA country for cooming? I'm moving to Vietnam next year and while I'm not a coomer I don't wanna be blue balled either. I'm a decently attractive young white guy if it matters.
>>
>>2726034

then thats a good spot for you

extremely underrated and critical important comment that needs to be reflected on. i went through a dunning-coomer effect myself as i spent more time in thailand. i am overdue for a long break from it.

>>2725980
Normal lifestyle in Malaysia?
>>
>>2726050
Yes. I lived there for over a year and seen much of the country, girlfriend, met some of her family, etc. I would very much call it "normal" feeling. Hijabs dont cloud my sense of things.

Also, it was the only country Ive visited in the region (have not been to Indonesia or Philippines (only interested in Indonesia).) that seemed to have a sense of justice/anti-corruption some. Thailand and Laos are corrupted as shit. I have not visited Vietnam in 15 years so Im not sure about it. I assume "more adult" because of the war. Cambodia (15 years ago) I rememeber it having a child like feel, not immature but young (because of the war again), where as Laos (this year) is covered in Soviet flags, learning nothing from the war as they werent a real part of it, just a fan.

In Laos the cops, citizens, everyone, is in on one big scam against people...its disgusting and shameful. They need a war to grow them up.

Also, its super multi-kulti. Indians, Maylays, Chinese, Westerners. If youre a Westerner is WILL feel more "normal".

Thailand is rapidly becoming inundated with Westerners as we speak, Chiang Mai was almost too much for me to handle, as I chose it to get away from "things" but theyre the one that "gets Whited" with immigrants.

lotta buzz around Vietnam these days, even my normie yuppie sister and her friends are making plans to go there. i'd say the getting is good now before the secret is completely out and every tom dick and harry with a few vacation days starts booking

but yeah if you just want to drink eat and fuck for cheap you can't beat thailand
>>
Avoid Vietnam at all costs. It's a shithole compared to the rest of the ASEAN countries. Absolutely no infrastructure or services worth a damn, and the people behave even more bug-like.

it makes me so fucking angry that this is happening despite me having gotten my fill for the better half of the last decade

everything needs to just STOP developing STOP STOP STOP i want to go back to just showing up and being white and being worshipped globally i can't compete with handsome korean guys i can't do this i cant take it

Nice LARP but no white man thinks of sub-6' microdick Kims as competition

>>2726232
With the way that Vietnam's economy is rapidly growing and the people becoming more affluent, I expect prices to increase naturally, but not that much. Bigger concern would be price-fixing behaviors - universal pressure on foreigners to pay 2x, 3x the going rate for everything, once they realize how much fucking money these foreign vacationers have to piss away.
>>2726057
I still want to wander around Laos as a poorfag during the coolest months and see what it's like to stay in those small mountain villages. Tourists who go there to flex their spending power like they do in Thailand always seem disappointed by Laos.
>>2726302
Thailand's popular beaches are far from population centers, while Vietnam's population centers are all along the coast. Monsoon rains always flush tons of sediment and trash into the sea; the late winter and spring months likely have the clearest water for Vietnam.

I have boarding passes to Istanbul and Bangkok in my pocket right now. They just announced the boarding call. How bout you?
Vacation paypigs are contemptible. Good thing you fags rarely venture out of your tourist containment zones, where you can happily get ripped off until it's time to get back to work like the privileged slaves you are.

PH is also great for cooming
what's so special about "culture" in Vietnam?

why not visit several of those countries and see yourself?

maybe one third speaks half-decent english
and most of young people come from elsewhere, the same applies to all major cities in SEA

prices are likely to increase but not that much more than global inflation

if you're white you will get endless pussy in africa from black women, it's way easier than SEA

yes obviously you will get endless pussy, there is a fucking billion of them, but what i'm saying is black women are the only race who are more likely to date their own men than they are to date whites
i'm saying every other race's women gladly throw themselves at white men
i don't know how you can't understand this

LMAO at thinking that Southeast Asians are less socially evolved than Hispanic mutts. Entirely the opposite.

The Philippines is the best by far just because everyone speaks English which makes everything easier
>>
>>2726768
Why is the easiest considered the best in your book? Are you one of those people who get easily exasperated over minor inconveniences? It's a bad trait to have in this part of the world, you'll find it tough to stay positive.

Anyway, Malaysia would take that #1 easy spot as its modern road system is far easier for foreign drivers than the Philippines. Malaysian bakeries mog, their burnt Basque cheesecakes, Japanese pastries, carrot cakes, all so delectable. The suite you get for $30/night in Malaysia blows away what you get in PH. Street scamming and overcharging is very rare in Malaysia. Lastly, 90 days on arrival and no onward flight requirement versus 30 days and an onward flight.
>>
>>2726830
>easiest

So true, nothing is easy in the Phillipines it's literally a buearacratic shithole everything is broken even buying things the shopkeepers move like molasses waiting in line for everything because pinky's are so lazy and dumb
>>

are bribes a thing? I've read that you only get 30 days on a tourist visa. can you just give a monkey a couple hundred and you get a year long volunteer visa or some bullshit?

They are hated by Thais
They struggle to get accommodation outside of hotel chains.
Traditionally they are encouraged to use the soapies, which in the typical Thai way is an indirect yet direct insult.

>>2726766
Stop putting words in my mouth, I never mentioned hispanics in my post. They're both monkeys if you really must know.
>>
>>2726923
If you want your application processed in a timely manner, it's not unheard of to pay a 3000 peso expediting fee. A foreigner in Pasay told me he paid 10000 pesos for a six month stay authorization, plus the expediting fee.
>>2726938
More and more it's plain to see that Thais judge foreigners negatively for their undesirable behavior, not merely on the basis of race or ethnicity.
>>2727044
Until you've experienced a cohesive high-trust society like Thailand, you won't realize just how far Western society has decayed. Of course the tropical conditions are not conducive to abstract thinking and other manifestations of high intelligence, but calling these people monkeys only reveals your own egotistical ignorance. Their behavior couldn't be less monkey-like.
>>
>>2726930
not just boring, one abdicates much of the leverage afforded by geographical arbitrage as well. far better to be misunderstood and benefit from friction in economic exchanges.

Every neighboring country mogs Vietnam insanely hard.

>transportation is awful. airports are among the words in the world, but you're forced to fly due to the lack of efficient railways and large distances between destinations. vietnamese airlines suck ass and aren't that cheap anymore. there's a reason most people do motorbike tours
>cities and towns are utterly unwalkable. you will be driving for anything more than 500m and driving in Vietnam is incredibly dangerous
>probably one of the least honest countries in the world when it comes to business. every interaction that isn't "western" will be fraudulent and unscrupulous. scams are abundant
>people are generally selfish, rude, and mean-spirited. this is somehow made even worse if you speak Vietnamese. also lots of utter fucking morons which will infuriate you if you ever need customer service (or help with anything in general)
>speaking of the language, it is impossible to learn any useful phrases or words to help you travel around. people will not understand you; you either speak the language or you don't
>rivals India for the sheer amount of trash and litter everywhere
>unbearably loud at all times no matter where you are
>despite having great cuisine overall, the food almost everywhere is shit due to poor quality ingredients. food safety is also not a thing in Vietnam. be prepared for food poisoning
>no animals at all. parks and forested areas are completely barren

>basically no culture anymore; everything paved over by capitalism. this is probably the most depressing thing from my point of view. barely any holidays and they're all fucking lame. museums suck. very little traditional architecture. music is godawful (vinahouse lol). no one cares/knows about vietnamese history, myths, legends etc... no religion at all aside from some lip service Christianity in the cities.
>>
>>2727136
Cambodia is worse than Vietnam in every way
>>
>>2727136
Yeah I'm glad I didn't fly into Hanoi, but none of this dissuades me from visiting VN later on. It does have a railway, even if you don't like it.
>utterly unwalkable
No such thing.
>customer service
Customer service in Asia involves giving you what you are paying for. That's it.
>least honest country
Some people report endless ripoffs, others feel like they're always treated well and charged a fair price. Only one way to find out...
>food almost everywhere is shit
Skill issue. You must refine your criteria for picking a place to eat.
>>
>>2727136
there is constant corner cutting everywhere which is exhausting:
you take a flight, and instead using a gate the airline decides to use the bus. you get in a bus and have to wait there until bus is 120% full, the airline is too cheap to pay for extra bus that would allow comfortable travel even thought it would increase the ticket price by less than 1%

you go to mid-range hotel or restaurant which looks nice, but then you notice peeling paint, trash/dust in the corner etc. it would take a tiny effort to fix those but no one cares

you go a cafe and notice that there is dirty dishes piling on tables for half a hour after customers have left. the staff is sitting in the corner instead cleaning them promptly. wtf they are thinking?? delaying cleaning the tables won't reduce the amount of work needed
>>
>>2727152
>No such thing.
lolwut? walking experience in Vietnam:
there is narrow sidewalk, but you can't walk there since it's filled with parked cars, motorbikes, carts etc. 90% of the time
you are forced to walk on the road, in many cases even the side of the road is full of parked cars/motorbikes so you have to walk almost in the middle of road, very walkable!

crossing roads is dangerous and annoying since local drivers don't follow basic rules such as yielding at pedestrian crossings or yielding when turning. sometimes they are even driving at sidewalks!

>Customer service in Asia involves giving you what you are paying for. That's it.
no in Thailand you get good service even in cheap places. In Vietnam you get poor service even in expensive places. Just check google reviews for 5 star hotels, lot of complaints about poor maintenance, poor service, scams, etc.

>others feel like they're always treated well and charged a fair price
where are the foreigners who felt they were always charged the local price in Vietnam? Even Vietnamese complain about scams, scamming is way of life there
>>
>>2727152

This is all part and parcel of walking around in the poorer parts of Southeast Asia. Cluttered sidewalks used as parking lots and pop-up restaurants, having to step aside when larger vehicles go down narrow roads, darting across traffic if there are no breaks, always walking behind a car crossing your path, keeping to the side of the sidewalk to let bicycles and motorbikes go by if it is wide and clear.
>>2727178
Better yet, I've been on foot all over Pasay, where most streets look like picrel. Yes, cars and even trucks use these streets. It's still walkable, you faggots.
>>2727155
>dirty dishes left on the tables
Lazy staff do this to dissuade new customers from increasing their workload, kek.
>>
>>2726768
youre a lower life form thats why.

>Of course the tropical conditions are not conducive to abstract thinking and other manifestations of high intelligence
So we agree, then. Later, monkey boy. Ooh-ooh ahh-ahh!

Indonesia (outside Bali) is one of the cheapest countries on Earth.
