Is there action on Boracay Island?
[QUOTE=LoveSeeker;1571175]Is there action on Boracay Island?[/QUOTE]Oh, Boracay is in Angeles? I didn't know that. Where is it in relation to Kokomos?
[QUOTE=LoveSeeker;1571175]Is there action on Boracay Island?[/QUOTE]Wrong thread to ask. In short: Yes, semi pro's hang at the bar on the beach. Price & availability vary. Success depends on age, young guys get the girls in resorts. I advise find a SYT & bring her with you. There is ample discussion on the forum. I'm too lazy to find it for you.

Planning another trip to Angeles for the end of the month but all I am hearing and reading on Angeles based forums is raid after raid with customers even being arrested.
Agasya bar in Angeles raided last night, valhalla bar also raided last night, many more bars raided last few weeks.
Is anybody on the ground (that is not a bar owner / has an agenda to talk up Angeles) that can shed some light on whether to visit or change plans to another destination that does not have raids.
[QUOTE=Napaslapper;1571311]whether to visit or change plans to another destination that does not have raids.[/QUOTE]German FKK Clubs don't have raids. Hope it helps.

Although I have little need for bars I'll let you guys know more next week. Bear in mind that raids have always been part of the AC bar scene, but I agree that arresting customers will be bad for business in the long run. With Thailand under martial law there is likely to be a displacement of sex tourists from there which may balance out losses. All in all my instincts are that its business as usual with caveats.

Beginning of the month should be safe!

With only a 100+ places to choose from. I usually don't have a problem finding a "date" in this town. A few nights ago, I pulled a "date" from one of the bars that I infrequently go in but I had met the manager previously and also knew one of the mama-sans.
I can only remember that the one bar recently where there was a story of the customers were "arrested". This is NOT the normal mode of operation here unless the customers are possibly disrespectful of the authorities conducting the raid.
I arrived outside one of the Perimeter bars a few months ago at the end of the raid and there a policeman who calmly told me " We are conducting a raid, Sir. The bar is closed" as I was prepared to try the door and go in. I went a couple of doors down and had a drink.
The managers / mama-sans / girls that I talk to are complaining that it is SLOW and there are few customers. With the approach of rainy season, it could signal the beginning of the usual slowdown or possibly a drop in tourists.
I would think that if you look like a typical foreigner tourist that you can have a fine time here even though you might find that some of the bars are being very cautious because of the raids. Get to know a mama-san (or manager,) buy her / him a drink and have a nice chat.
I never stay out late enough (between 2 and 4 AM) to hit High Society or SkyTraxx discos but I hear they provide good after hours availability for girls also.

I just left a report in Manila section, and will continue here on my AC adventures.
I went to AC for the ABC pool party, and for a FC girl I met online.
The pool party was great as usual. They could never have such a party in the USA due to liability. Someone will drown there eventually as the soap machine covers girls heads etc.
I was afraid of raids due to the reports, so I stayed out of the bars. I instead picked up a young and cute massage girl of fields and got a great BBBJ and massage for 1000 p. She did the usual false memory of the deal agreed to, but took the money I gave her. She was so young looking and innocent that I figured she wouldn't do it or it would suck instead it was great. What a nice suprise.
The FC girl was good too and I got her off with about 20 minutes of DATY. She then told me her period was coming soon as I spit out blood. Gross. I figured she can't get prego and dumped a load in her. She said that was dangerous. Yes, so is drinking period blood.
AC is still fun and cheaper than Manila. The bars are a pain in the ass though and to be avoided IMO.
Taking the bus from Manila to AC (Dao) can any one give me information on how to take the bus. I will be arriving late 12:30 am this Saturday night, will probably find a hotel near Bay Café and pick up a girl from there my first night. How do I take the bus from there to AC. Can I bring my luggage on the bus I am not comfortable with leaving my luggage in the storage on the bus.
Thanks,
Chris
I think everyone should take note. (I paraphrase with my usual sarcasm) Arrests of non Filipino customers might actually hurt business in Angeles city. (Holy cow, who would have thought?).
I'm not sure what AV is referring to when he says "sex tourist", but I'm pretty sure I'd book a flight to Thailand now with the potential cheaper prices. Holy cow. X.

Chris[/QUOTE]If you are worried about luggage either take swag man bus, or taxi.
If I heard you correctly you don't plan to grab a bus at 12.30 am right?
Busses don't operate at that hour except longer distance busses like to Baguio, Abra and the likes.
AC isn't far enough for midnight travel.

The bus station closest to AC is called Dau (pronounced Dah-oo). You can either board the bus that you see with that sign on front (usually the second stall from the ticket booth) and pay later on during the ride when the attendant comes to take the money, or you can go to the ticket booth and tell them you want to go to Dau. 9 times out of 10 when I have gone to the window they have just pointed to which bus to get on without taking any money. There is no problem leaving your luggage down below. Most of the locals won't have luggage to put below so there is just mostly freight down there. There will not be any room in the cabin for your luggage anyway outside of a back pack that you can keep between your legs. The bus does fill up. I think the cost is 134 piso these days.

The Swagmann Bus drop you off at any Hotel in Angeles City.

Thinking of spending the month of July in Pattaya what is the current situation there with the marshal law being declared. I hear everything is shut down at 10: pm.
