    Done Thailand? Asia’s new must-see destination is the Philippines... complete with thriller Manila and 7,000 perfectly-preserved paradise islands
    • The Philippines is a famed archipelago which boasts 7,000 isles south-east of Asia's mainland
    • Visitors can enjoy the hustle and bustle of famed capital city, Manila, or indulge in stunning remote islands
    • Ideal for those who like to combine culture, shopping and nightlife with idyllic VIP breach breaks
    In a world that seems to be getting smaller, it's difficult to find a place that’s not already trending with tourists or, worse, gap-year students.

    That was my only criticism of Thailand when I visited ten years ago. Yes, I certainly loved the country that means ‘Freedom’, but there was little of it that wasn't marred by Western influence and even on my arrival on the island of Koh Samui, I was greeted with a McDonald’s sign.

    So, when the Philippines came calling, I was instantly intrigued by the famed archipelago which boasts 7,000 isles south-east of Asia's mainland. Why? Because it's the road less travelled.

    Shouldn't this be in the humor thread?

    I did consider putting it in the humour thread!
    I especially liked the headline "7000 perfectly preserved paradise islands"
    Whoever wrote that must have been sat in an office on google and never left their seat :smile:

    I have some pictures I think they may want to post for the article.



    Probably just an over site on their part.

    Let the scumbags that leave the garbage clean it up, as everybody keeps saying it's their country, if they want to live among sh*t..........

    When it comes to the number of islands, Indonesia has more than double in fact 17.508.

    As a matter of fact I did once in 2011. The group of 20 persons only consisted of foreigners. The only locals were the two filipina's married with two foreigners. Came back to the place after two weeks. Well will spare to comment on the outlook it had again.
    So, for me, a waste of time and energy. If they wanna clean up, let it be done by those who dropped their garbage.
