I've been to both AC and Pattaya many times now over many years.
These are my thoughts and from my perspectives and experiences only from both countries.
1) The rule of :Eyes of the beholder, holds true here. Some are naturally drawn more toward the Thai looks while others may differ and choose Filipina. Good example is in our own backyard. Remember when Geylang was in its prime before all the street raids, many many Filipina compete with Thais. I was never drawn more to one group over the other as both had their beauties and of course their "fruglies"=means "fuking ugly" for those that don't know. But on average, I think both skin color about same but avg. Filipina tends to have more "meat" to them and bigger boobs.
For those that have not experience both, then do so and compare for yourself. Almost like telling people about taste of food, can't really comment unless try it yourself and decide if good or not good as everyones taste differs.
2) Filipinas are easier to approach (in general) as they tend to be less shy about encounters. Thais are more cautious--mainly due to the differences in language as they feel less comfortable not knowing what you want. This is even true among the P4P and BGs in both countries.
3) Can't really say I've ever found many true beauties in pattaya as I mostly spend most of my time there when I'm in LOS. But have seen many beauties in BKK. By comparison, I've seen more beauties in AC then at Patts. But most of the real beauties were mostly in Manila.
4) Cebu was ok but nothing special as there are some cuties there but mostly non-players. Most of the available "players=BG and FL and SW" were mostly avg at best, with some real "frugly" SW at night at some of the downtown streets. Oh, BTW: By comparison:there are some even worst looking "fruglies" on Beach RD in Patts at night- some of the worst I've ever seen in my life. So for those who say in general that Thais look better than Filipinas, try walking around Beach Rd on some nights will change your mind real fast.
5) Lastly, luck and timing also plays a big part in what you will see and meet as some of the best ones are already taken by the time you get there or they had day off and you will never see them.
It's ok if you Agree or disagree with the above as I've said its my perspective/experience on this discussion.
Comment if you like or up me if you like.
But most important thing is try to enjoy BOTH while you still can and adding some new "food" on your menu is never a bad thing
Cheers all.
