A popular blogger behind Island Hopping the Philippines puts it simply:
“I lived in Thailand for years. The Philippines is just better. 7,000 beach paradise islands. It never ends.”
Other creators echo the same. “Beaches are better in the Philippines than Thailand,” said one. Another raves, “The Philippines has crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches that beat anything in Southeast Asia.” 
Nature, Culture, and WOW-Factor Wonders
This isn’t just a beach destination—this is an adventure playground.
- Chocolate Hills – A thousand mysterious dome-shaped hills that turn brown in dry season.
- Underground Rivers & Secret Lagoons – Paddle through caves and canyons straight out of a fantasy film.
- Intramuros & Manila’s Historic Forts – Walk through 400 years of Spanish colonial history.
- Wildlife, coral reefs & jungles – Snorkel with turtles, hike volcanoes, and chase waterfalls.
The Trade-Offs? Let’s Be Real…
Thailand wins in one area: infrastructure.
Getting around is easier—buses, trains, roads all sorted. The Philippines? It’s island-based, so expect to hop on ferries or local flights. And yes, that can add some time (and cash) to your trip.
Also, flights from the UK are longer. London to Bangkok: 11.5 hrs. London to Manila: 16 hrs.
But the payoff? A once-in-a-lifetime trip that doesn’t feel like every other holiday.
Should You Go?
Here’s the bottom line. If you want:
✅ White-sand beaches without the crowds
✅ Authentic island vibes
✅ Budget-friendly paradise
✅ Nature and culture with a side of WOW
Then the Philippines is your next dream destination.
Forget what you’ve heard—this is not just a “Thailand alternative.”
This is Southeast Asia’s true crown jewel.
And it’s calling your name.
