I don't think so, Thailand and Philippines, these are 2 very different countries.
Thailand is better than Philippines considering its living quality, income, security, housing, shopping etc. etc.
We (all our family members are Europe/Japanese or USA-Canada/Japanese) are visiting Thailand since many years for our vacation, we have our own rooms there, but no private connection with Thai people.
Considering women, Thailand is a strange country.
I find women in Philippines much more communicative, modest and much more faithful towards men, including foreign men.
Thailand has a remarkably bad reputation in regard of prostitution, but why? Of course not all women living in Thailand are prostitutes.
Even Thai women who are interested into a long-term relationship are obviously first of all into demanding money - but not always for themselves, they just distribute it for other family members, even if these family members are not poor at all to show how rich the new boyfriend is. Call it a bride price or whatever... money is money.
Further Thai women are obsessed with buying and collecting gold, gems and semiprecious stones. Thai women are good with entertaining men and persistently asking while in a relationship very skillfully for - little by little - more and more - financial favors in return for it. They really know how to 'play' with men.
If you find a Thai woman, who is not into nightlife at all and is available without financial demands, it means she is not accepted by Thai men - out of various reasons, but it does not mean she is a bad choice for foreigners. It's about problems at home, orphans, divorced with children (often from different fathers who don't care).
What is a 'used item' for many Thai men, does not mean it is 'broken down' for the foreign man.
Some foreign men are truly happy in Thailand, often over decades with the same Thai woman. However many are disappointed, they lost a lot of money, found nobody for a long term relationship, were cheated, but anyway they got some nice time with sex in return for it - still better than in Western countries if you ask me.
It is said, that Thai women in Bangkok are often acting similar to Chinese women from the large cities in mainland China, demanding the man should provide everything, house, car etc. etc... and in case he cannot, or cannot do it any longer, they just leave him.
About Drronnie, I think he is too much into Thai women who are living in Bangkok. - While living in Thailand is easy for him, as he has no visa/job restrictions, he should jump over his cultural Thai barrier and look around in other Asian countries for a foreign (but Asian) faithful female companion.
Unlike many Thai men, he has a good knowledge of other languages, so why not?
