Brilliant trip report Duke.
I was in Boracay 2 years ago with a lb friend I met online from Manila. We stayed at Rainbow Rooms at Station 3. I chose it because it advertised itself as GLBT friendly...which it certainly was. But it was sub standard...and I soon realized that the whole island was GLBT friendly anyway.
I haven't been to Thailand yet - later this year - but Bora was a great little place. We only stayed 2 nights...but it's definitely worth another trip. It's not expensive either.
Unfortunately I destroyed my pics - as they could've been used as evidence against me...lol! But I will go mad with the camera next time...as I'm single again. What a relief after 10 years in a shit marriage.
Cheers...Waz
