    Boracay

    Some Boracay photos over the past 15 years. The place is much more commercialized now. That is not necessarily a good thing.

    Nice. Doesn't look like that anymore. First time I went there was in 1990, remember cooking crabs and fish we had caught over a cook fire on a deserted beach. No more.

    Never been to the Philippines but that beach place looks exactly the same as any in Thailand.

    Would that be fair or am I missing something.

    Fair. Like much of Thailand, beautiful years ago, and mostly trashed now. At least the ones that are tourist-accessible.

    ^

    Yes, figured as much and maybe that's why I've never actually been there but have thought about going many times.

    Besides that, I'm not big on countries where they need fokers with guns guarding everything.

    Sorry Terry, I was just addressing the beaches question, not religion, cuisine or general ambiance.

    White beach is constantly voted into "the top ten beaches" every year. As for Boracays' other beaches, bulabog puka,diniwid or any others, they are definitely superior to anything Thailand has.

    Lived in Cebu for a little over 9 years. Never went nor had a desire to go to Boracay. I am not much on tourist traps and at the time the beach water was having pollution problems as in "full of shit". Overall I think the Philippines has some of it not the best beaches in the world.
