It's a bit like this - some say the Scots and English are different, and we've been in the same country for centuries. Few would deny there's a different temperament between say the British and Greeks or Spanish - and these are all Christian (nominally) countries.
Thais in religion, outlook, temperament and many others are very different to Filipinos. Neither is "better" of course, just different.
Many people have come a cropper going into relationships with Thais, as they have failed to realise a huge culture and temperament difference.
Well, that and there's a disproportionate number of men going on holiday there and getting entirely the wrong end of the stick with many young women working in the resorts.
PS Thai food is awesome, one of the best in the world
