Check that your phone is not locked to your usual carrier. You will need to be able to insert a Philippines SIM card and carrier settings. WiFi will work fine.

Thanks. Are SIM cards easy to find for my LG G6 phone in Manila? Cost?

Kojax: Disappointed after all the hype. Girls are fine but don't seem any better than other comparable places. Staff service wasn't good at all so I felt no need to spend any more money here and left without taking anyone.

XOXO: Much better attitudes, but very busy on a weekday. Spent a fair bit on drinks but didn't take anyone as I wasn't feeling up to it.

Plan be: Much friendlier than Kojax. Some decent looking girls working. Took a 21 year old One for the evening that I really liked for 3.5 k plus 4 k tip. Enjoyable.

EDSA: Cheaper than the others excluding tip. Location is a pain to get to. A lot quieter than P Burgos and you will get a lot more attention from everyone. Girls are decent but are a little older and many are less desirable (smokers, tattoos, more likely to have children). Many girls expect a bit more generosity due to all the Japanese patrons. Found an okay 27 year old Girl for 2.5 k plus 5 k tip.

Manila Courtesans: Good alternative if traffic is terrible or you don't feel like drinking. Not that much more expensive considering the convenience.

Overall, the girls in Angeles were more consistent and the overall nightlife scene is just more enjoyable. It's also very cheap at 3.5 k + optional tip. The Dollhouse group bars were my favorite. High Society is also good but the action starts way too late for my schedule. It's just a shame that hotels in Manila are light years better. ABC hotel didn't impress me and the prices are higher than Manila considering the quality.

1. Make sure your CP is unlocked.

2. Make sure your CP works on GSM network.

3. You will need Philippine SIM card to text others in Philippines.

Any questions on the above can be answered by Mr. Google.

Wifi work for Wechat.

Wifi will work fine, but it would be better to use 4 G or LTE and open your location setting so that you can take full advantage of wechat everywhere you go.

I see. Thanks for the info. I used it one time to chat with a Chinese woman, but that fell apart. BTW, I have an LG G6 Android phone. If I use it in the Phils, would I need a different SIM card or other "adjustments?

Hey bro,

Your inbox is full. Can't PM you.

You might want to pm me for this one.

Baklas? Does that mean bullshit or something similar?

"Bakla" is tagalog for "ladyboy" or "gay".

SkyTrax is the authority on airline ratings, and 7 of their top 10 are based in Asia! That would be 9 out of the top 10 if you want to include the Middle East as part of Asia, which technically it is: https://www.worldairlineawards.com/. I don't know where you've been Googling, but I recommend everybody to stick with the leader.

Cool. Had never heard of Skytrax but I'm on it now.

Wechat is "awesome".

Just as long as you are prepared to work through the baklas.

WeChat is useful in Ph due to it's Nearby feature allowing you to make contact and be contacted by geographically close opportunity targets.

For general goto p-2-p contact, the many girls seem to have Viber.

I recently used WeChat in regional United Kingdom and it is dead.

How popular is Wechat in the Phils? I used to use it to chat with Chinese only.

I love Korean Air and always heard bad things about Chinese Airlines. That said, read something the other day that at least some flights on China Eastern are operated by Delta. Not sure if that means the flight is on a Delta-maintained plane or what. Anyone know? When I Google the best airlines, they're usually European. The exception is Qatar Airways.

I've got an 'in' to the industry and have never heard of Delta planes being wet-leased to China Eastern. They do, however, code share. So you might buy a ticket on China Southern and find part of the trip is on a Delta plane. Vice versa as well.

It is widely used by girls in Manila. Lot of lady boys and please insist on video chat prior to finalising your meeting. Otherwise you will get 10-15 ladies available most of the times.
