I have been to Thailand many times. I love Thailand The girls in DR are as good as the Thai Girls, with less taboos over anal sex, etc. There are mosquitoes in Thailand too, plus stray dogs at the beaches and the Avian Bird Flu threat -- so don't assume anything. BTW all tropics are hot and humid. If you want cold and dry, you may want to dry Montreal! I love Thailand for the shopping ... hence my trips. But it is a long flight. DR is close... 3-4 hours away and can be done over a long weekend. Heck, I even have a local cell phone number and call the US all the time, and ppl think I am in Florida! I go to Thailand every 1-2 years, but go to DR every 3-4 months!
Bottomline, Both DR and Thailand have there pros and cons... but neither is better than another!
Also for the person who said there is 0% GFE in DR... speak for yourself! I was there last week and met this Medical Student (not pre-med) at Blackbeards and I had a blast. The bartender was jokingly referring to her as my 'sposa' (Spansih for wife). And 95% of the girls at Blackbeards are GFE!
