Hong Kong Club Reports

If I understand correctly $14/30 min. This is the fee if you go to the room with the street chica who is standing in front of the Cascadas hotel in the alley. (street chica goes free if you have a rented room in Cascadas). The best deal, in my opinion, is to buy a Hong Kong VIP card ($60 for 3 months). Then you have a 70% discount on Monday and Tuesday on rooms in Cascadas. Eg a single bed room per night is $26 and a double bed room per night is $30. There is no chicas fee. Also 20% discount in Azul restaurant. If you don't have a room in Cascadas, you now pay $40/30 minutes for the room plus $100 for sex service.

$40 room fee for a half hour? Sounds like I should just get a room if I'm planning to take two girls or more. What time can I check in?

You have been given good advice! "Not needing a passport" will cause you to possibly be screened by customs coming back into USA. Take your Passport Card! Or Passport.

Luke is probably like the YouTube auditors who harass cops with legalities. Yes - you can re-enter USA without PPT but why draw attention to yourself!

Also. I feel I must mention to you:

Take LOTS AND LOTS of $1. 00 bills! You will need them for the strippers and plus it is a sacrificial Propina / Donation to the street people who will recognize your newbie eyes and harrass you.

HIDE YOUR LARGE BILLS! Tijuana is much more rough than in Soy 6 Pattaya where the Xpats are mostly mellow and passive. When you are in the Zona you will be asked for money from beggars, street people and shoe shine guys, room cleaners, guys selling crap and guys selling useless costume jewelries.

True. You can just say No. But - guard your big bills. Have lots of small bills ready for when you need to buy small items.

Asking for change in the clubs can cost you.

Luke is right about one thing. Stick with the big 3. Well now the big 2 plus maybe Tropical because Tropical is owned by HK and right across the street. You will be barked at to enter the other clubs but I would not do that on a first trip. HK and CC will do you up fine.

Guard your big bills!

Peace!

As a correction, those are half an hour (30 minute) rates. Used to be $60, going rate is now $100 USD. Some girls ask for as much as $120-$130, especially at HK during peak periods on weekends, but $100 is now the most common rate. Some girls, especially at non-HK Zona Norte bars, will still go for $80 or maybe even a bit less depending on your negotiating skills and / or how much they like you. I got a chica for $80 in Tropical back in late April and she accepted the $80 offer pretty quickly.

To my understanding, the $14 rate for HK is also a 30 minute rate, not a full hour. I haven't paid the rate in years because I always get a full night room at HK anyway (where you don't have to pay that fee) but think the $14 is only for 30 minutes.

The 30 minute option is gone. Now, it is $40 for 40 minutes.

THIS looks like what I'm looking for. Thank you!

And if I understand correctly from reaching this forum, rates used to be about $60 USD for an hour, but now it's more like $100, is that about right? (Plus the cost of the hotel, which is about $14/ hour)?

Scroll the web page to "User Blog" and read "Brockton O'Tool's Tijuana Guide (updated April 2009). This has been the bible for beginners to Zona Norte in Tijuana. It is very helpful even though the prices for services are now higher, Hong Kong it has gone from a tiny club to a gigantic one with several floors and Adelita is temporarily closed (BTW Luke Powell has been banned from Hong Kong for a long time.).

As soon as I said no to marriage and that I'm ending this incredibly expensive monthly allowance, HK chica immediately blocked me and spewed nasty words from her working girl mouth. Telling you guys to save you future losses of money and time. HK chicas all sharks and only want your US citizenship and wallet. Once any of those two are taken away, you are nothing to them even if you've known the for a while or given them tons of money over time. Have fun Luke powell's way: smash and dash. That's the right way to go. Anything longterm or more intimate with an HK chica ain't worth it.

Any good "How to" guides, or "What to expect" references for a newbie? Good articles, websites or videos for someone who has never crossed into Tijuana.

Trying to figure out what to expect when crossing (if I need any other than my passport), and how to get to HK or other good clubs, what to expect expense wise all around for a day trip, what to look out for. That kinda stuff.

What kind of bad info?

Well from my perspective he does give bad advice sometimes on best practices. One that comes to mind is his repeated insistence that you don't need to worry about having a passport to get into Tijuana. I suppose it's technically true that Mexican customs officials pretty much always let you come across the border without one (even though passports are required per Mexican federal law) but you'd better be prepared to bribe the customs officials $20-$30 to enter Mexico if they catch you without one. Can also potentially be a pain in the ass crossing back to the USA Without as passport (e. G. , much greater chance they put you through a secondary screening).

He also advocates taxis as the best method of getting back and forth from the border to the clubs. Think I've maybe taken a taxi once over the past couple of years traveling to / from the border and that was probably only because I was in a hurry. The (free) HK limo or Uber is always going to be cheaper. Or if you don't mind walking 5-7 minutes, there's a 15-peso taxi de ruta that will take you close enough to Zona Norte where you can walk the rest of the way.

Granted these aren't huge things but it's things like this here and there that let you know that he's not the "expert" that he puts himself out there to be. Much more knowledgeable people on these and other Tijuana boards. He's also given out bad info on Adelitas re-opening and some stuff that was going on in the clubs during COVID. Others here might be able to give better examples.

But with all that said, there's going to be some level of expertise with a guy who's lived in Tijuana for 17+ years, frequents all of these clubs, knows a lot of the chicas, and speaks fluent Spanish. So you can definitely learn from him despite the negative opinons about him here LOL. He's also a very open, engaging person who's willing to talk to pretty much anyone about Tijuana, even people he doesn't know.

Why do you keep asking about stuff that you could learn just by looking around in this forum and other places on the web? Your questions aren't any different than what's already been asked and answered.

Very helpful. Thanks.

I've read quite a bit, but there's a shit ton of content to comb through. Figured if there was a particular thread or webpage with good how to advice for beginner Tijuana tourists, this would be the place to ask.

You don't have to buy a girl a drink. The maseros (waiters) are really persistent so that's why some feel pressured to buy a girl a drink. The maseros can come by you 4-5 times within a few minutes pestering you to buy a lady drink or a drink for yourself.

From my experience, buy a drink doesn't necessarily help or hurt the experience when taking the girl to the room.

You don't need a room ahead of time. You get a new room each time unless you prebooked a room.

For me, I think any time is fine, but some prefer coming in later at night. From my experience the danger factor doesn't change throughout the night.

You have to buy a girl a drink to sit in the booths. If you're just standing talking, then no, but they will clearly tell you that you can't sit there without buying a drink.

[AgaveBoy]

Yeah I'm just curious about the things I don't know that I don't know. You know?

Like, in Thailand they have lady drinks. Waste of time and money. I learned that pretty quick. Walk in. Look around. Find a hottie and take her to your hotel. Or have a drink or two yourself, but don't spend money on "lady drinks. ".

Things like that.

Do you HAVE to buy a drink for a girl at a Tijuana club? Are you more likely to have a good time if you do? What's usually expected in the room, and what's often an upcharge? At what point are you being ripped off?

I'd like to cross the border, get a ride to a club, enjoy the views with a drink (for me) and choose a girl to spend time with. (do I need to get the room ahead of time? Will I keep that room if I am enjoying the company or two or three girls throughout the day, or get a new room each time? Foolish to arrive before a certain time? Dangerous to stay after a certain time?

That kinda stuff.

Bro it's up to you! Just like in Thailand follow your gut and do what's best for you. Or what your pockets can handle LOL.

Luke Powell is a waste of time and electricity. Best information is in the forums. The prices have gone up, but the process has been the same for 100 years. Maybe you can connect with a vet willing to meet in person and guide you. I have played tour guide for about 12 newbies. I enjoy reliving my first time through them.
