The biggest problem in Hong Kong is the cost of staying there and the air pollution. I've found ways of cutting costs by eating at more "local" restaurants (equally as good, but not designed for tourists) and staying at some of the "boutique" hotels. Lanson Place Hotel has been my latest "find" - at about $180-200 per night including a decent breakfast. It's more of a European feel to it with fewer Americans. I've tried to get into the Salisbury YMCA, which is apparently a truly great hotel at outrageously low prices, but is always booked. It's a shame they call it a YMCA, since the connotation is really incorrect.

I've never toured Bangkok or Manila. Malaysia was nice back in the 90s. I'm not sure how it is there now for Americans.
