We have been travelling in Asia over 2 years now.

Some tips.

Check prices using different VPN locations.

Clear your browser history.

Some of the cheapest prices I get from the same company come from when I go to Google maps. Search hotels in that area I want. Select the hotel. The prices here are usually cheaper than Agoda is quoting me as a VIP member. It is absolute bullshit really. They are such scammers.

@Leon ***
clearing your browser history too results in cheaper prices too.

@Zeki *******
agree Agoda is always cheaper for me. They are both owned by the same holdings company anyway.

also the hotel has to confirm this cash back thing. In 700 nights of hotel bookings in the last 2 years I can tell you in my experience 30% dont and you never see it anyway.

Check their prices with different VPN locations and clear your browser history. You will be amazed at the different prices you get quoted. Often cheapest if you go to Agoda via trip advisor app too.

you couldn’t even if you tried. I have spent a lot of time in both countries. So I have already convinced myself, thanks..

I am glad you enjoy it there. But your claim about the quality of foreigner are laughable as much as they are narrow minded. Thailand s**** on the Philippines, but that is just my opinion and I have spent over 30 years travelling SE Asia.

nothing to do with money. Thailand is such a nicer place to exist. The food alone is leaps and bounds ahead of the Phillipines, and the beautiful culture. The Spanish did a good job of eradicating any local culture from the Phillipines.
