I got three months in SE Asia or anywhere I want.
So far I'm thinking on leaving Seoul, going to Taiwan, then Philippines, then Singapore, Malyasia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam.

I want to hit all those places up but the problem is for how long. I've heard that Philippines and Thailand are probably where I want to go, but then I heard Laos is way better than Thailand. I think I should spend the most time in Thailand, Laos and Philippines, then the rest just divy up the rest of the time. My first inclination was to do a month in Thailand and two weeks in Philippines, but now I'm thinking to do maybe a month in Philippines b/c its cheaper than Thailand. At this point, I know we're only splitting hairs so it probably really doesn't matter, but I'd still like to hear whats the best thing. I know that all these places are very similar to eachother, so I need someone with good experience in what I'm looking to do.

Also:
I know they are all cheap but what place could I stay the longest and not spend as much money as the other places..
I greatly appreciate any 'good' advice.

You're right.

Philippines is a great country, only problem is getting around takes a little while since it's all islands.

But great people, food, beaches, diving, drinks and wonderful girls......

.. By the way, I don't understand why so many guys go down there and PAY to get laid. I've never had to pay for it.

But I guess those times were actually considered "dates". Drinks, dinner, etc. then a nice time in the sack. Breakfast with her, then she gets cab fare.

Works out about the same I guess.

Angeles City Phillippines my friend.

But be careful-the prices are higher around December and January....

And also be careful with you know what....

Gweet,
I will be out of here in February and my plan is to fly to Singapore, stay there for a few days and head up through Malaysia. I am thinking about doing Malaysia withing 3 weeks to a month. I heard it has great beaches and easy to get around. I am also looking for the wacky tobbacy since I have been in Korea for a year and I am dying. I also don't want to end up in jail (just saw Brokedown Palace) so I will just play it safe.

If you want some information on getting stoned on your trip, check out www.webehigh.com It has a listing of the "mary jane" scene in all the major backpacker locations. Where to get it, how the police treat possession, quality, etc.

Also, I heard Angeles, Philippines was the sleaziest place on earth. Tons of old as army vets with 15 year old girlfriends. I usually enjoy the seedy and dark side of things but this takes it too far. Enjoy the drugs, enjoy the women but stay away from the girls. Have fun!

Forget Phnom Penh! Forget Angeles City!
Here's the trip you want, trust me.

Week 1: Bangkok. Spend 2 nights scoring at the Nana Plaza. Spend the next two nights scoring on Soi Cowboy. Spend the next two nights scoring in the Patpong area. O-K, now you're done with Bangkok.

Now your vacation really begins! Take the air-con bus from the Ekamai bus station to Pattaya. Stay at the Penthouse hotel for at least 2 or 3 nights while you shop out a 6000 baht per month apartment in Pattaya. Easy to find. Spend the next two months in a state of bliss.

Once in Pattaya you will NOT want to leave!!!!!!!!!!! Have Fun.

happeningthang,

i'm sure he can find hookers where he is. you obviously know nothing about the scene in thailand and have completely missed the point. sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought of a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. i recommend that you stick to blabbing about the issues of which you know something about.
