This seems to be the default low cost construction option the world over. I've seen this all over asia as well. I've had a (second) house built that way and it generally works fine (and looks fine with some plaster on it as well). The only thing is the insulation is atrocious, but that matters less in the right climate.

But since you have to add insulation to nearly any building material you can just as well build with concrete bricks and slap polyurethane boards on the outside (or whatever foam boards you use nowadays for that job) and then plaster over that.
