One reason why the PH is more expensive as a travel destination than Thailand or Malaysia: the high value added tax.

Philippines – 12%
Indonesia – 11%
Cambodia – 10%
Vietnam – 10%
Singapore – 9% (goods and services tax)
Thailand – 7%
Laos – 7%
Malaysia – 6%
Myanmar – 5% (service tax)
Timor-Leste – 2.5% (import sales tax)

@jikodesu @cendawanita don’t worry, unless the Indonesian government gets heavily pressured to drop the plan, we’ll join you with the 12% VAT next year.
