    Bangkok to Manila - Where to find great diving on the cheaper end of the scale?

    In PG you can score a cheap backpacker room for 600 pesos. The diving prices have slightly raised there but are comparable to Thailand, and you can find great prices if you spend some time shopping. They generally charge for renting equipment (the last time I was in Thailand, they usually did...

    Seeking Boracay Recommendations

    Coco Beach is a bit far from the nightlife area. If you wanna party hard find a place in Sabang or The Lagunas. Steps and Gardens / La Laguna / El Galleon / Mermaids are all nice places to stay. Honestly you can find some great places on the water by just walking around and asking. Coco...
