Manila and Phuket 
in £350s-£380s rtn
This is a tough one...
Do you either:
A – Head straight to Phuket and within an hour of landing you're checked in and lounging on the beach.
Or
B – Fly to Manila and go island hopping with some domestic flights. A bit more travel, but with underground boat trips in Palawan and swimming with sardines in Cebu along the way.
Personally, my vote goes to Phuket, purely because I can't stop thinking about how good the massaman curry was at Coconut Garden in Kamala.
FYI, if you'd prefer shorter layovers to Manila, then we found some trips with China Southern for only £60 more :-)
