I won't go into reasons, just boredom I suppose, but I have been chatting to both Filipino and Thai girls over the last year and have found Thai girls more likely to be in work, maybe because there is so much money being sent to families in Philippines from overseas workers and they have been made lazy, or the economy is not as good.

Language is a problem in Thailand though, but I do like Thailand and prefer the food.
The Philippines is much more western and the culture is not so different to ours.

Thailand and its people are far removed from western culture.
Thai people don't even think along the same lines us.
