it's like any country, if you act like an idiot trouble will find you. If you behave yourself and respect the locals you will have no problems. Just be polite always.
same. I live in Philippines and really don't like it. I much prefer Thailand being decades ahead in terms of everything. I'm in Thailand right now and really don't want to go back to Philippines. I'm 6'3 tall and can't even find clothes in Phil.
