As long as you stay within limits no problem,BTW Try the Philippine Cigars esp the Tabacalera Brand,They export these all over the world and they are like one fifth or 20% of US prices.

Burgos Street in Makati is in the heart of Korea Town,The PI is very popular with Koreans with over 400,000 Korean visitors yearly and there are over 150,000 Resident Koreans in the PI,Koreans are everywhere in the PI.You will blend in

The reason the Korean go to PI more than other country like china or Thailand
because they like to Gamble in the casinos any place with casinos there will be Koreans .

Just back from a Germany trip (the FKKs are alive and well), it was 9+ hours in the air and it about drives me nuts!! I can't imagine doubling it! How do you guys stand 18-20 hours on the plane?? And how long does it take to feel human again?

I'm hoping to put my virgin trip to the PI and Thailand together for next April, so any advise appreciated! Also, how is April weather wise?

Gentlemen!

Anybody have info or experience on bringing in tobacco?

Is it somehow difficult through customs?

My flight costs only $830 from LAX to MNL via Cathay Pacific.

Hey Sundevil,

Why don't you try Eva Air? It is usually a quite a bit less and you can take a great midnite or 1am flight and sleep easy most of the flight? I arrive in Manila about 11:30 am and no jet lag.

Not being critical, but just kinda curious.

What started out as me asking for a tour guide is turning into a full fledged shindig. I love it. See you all on Dec 4th.

Still waiting for flight details.

Mattrick,

does this invite extend to me too?

[Bareback Bill]

Hello Gentlemen,

Looking to see if we can get a group of ISG members together for some barhoping and commeraderie in the first week of December. There are three of us so far and the more the merrier!

Hey Mattrick, please advise your flight details and I will have my driver pick you up. I've been looking forward to meeting you for quite a while. Excelsior!

Just out of curiosity from a newbie, you can answer me very briefly with a bullet-point reply.

- Best place to go with plenty of good looking birds and nice and swimmable sea for an early December trip (ideally, a sort of Phuket kind of place with Pattaya's entertainments), from there I will expand the research myself as far as accommodation and nightlife are concerned.

- Average LT damage with an average looking freelancer.

- In your view and always in a very coincise way where possible, what more have The Philippines to offer compared to Thailand and vice versa.

You're too kind, cheers.

We've had many discussions on this one, since I have lived, mongered, worked and played in both Thailand(ran a small boat charter in Phuket) and now living in Phils I suppose I'm as qualified as any to answer this one.

You seem to have some experience in LOS, well its apples and oranges, the two countries & thier peoples are so vastly different it would take a post the size of war and peace to summarize. Flat line, I love Thai women, greatest sex in the world but I would never again live with one, be it a GF or a wife, cant trust 'em, too damn crazy. Nothing in the Phils compares with the well organized sin of Bangkok's nanaplaza, Patpong or Pattaya's beer bars, Phuket beach bars etc. Angeles doesn;t even come close. The Phils has a better english speaking population and the people are not as devious and mercenary as Thai's. Plenty of ladies want to be your GF but they want a wedding ring too. Filipinos seem to have more respect and are nicer IMHO than the five faced ten hearted Thais.

You can probably go swimming anywhere in the Phils at any time of the year, many places such as Boracay, Moalboal and Bohol are much touted. I've been to all of them. You would probably consider them a step or so down from the developed resorts re Phuket, Phi Phi and Krabi, I would say Boracay comes closest. If you go to such places in the Phils plan on bringing your own lady, not much of a selection locally, oh you can find it but not much to choose from.

Suggestion, get the hell away from Manila.

Instead come to Cebu, find a free lancer or some girl from one of the bars, see if she will be your tour guide to Bohol. Freelancer go anywhere from nothing (I wanna be your GF/wife) to P3000 per night.

Good luck
