Panama City

[Hobbying]

Just wondering why not just go to Columbia instead of going to Panama for mongering? Is it safety? I am considering going to Bogota for the first time.

[Ac Danny]

In Panama City now, staying at the Veneto, if anyone wants to have a drink and B S about mongering leave me a msg on room phone in room number 824

[Ac Danny]

The Veneto quoted me a taxi for $30 plus 7% tax. I guess I should just get a taxi at the airport. Seem a little cheaper.

If you go upstairs to the departure area you can get a cab to the Veneto for 15. 00-20. 00, I read that on a previous post and tried it last night and paid 17. 00

I'm headed down on June 30th. Do you think Habanos will be open then. How long does it take for things to get back to normal after these raids. This will be my first time to Panama.

Jay.

Rumor is that Habanos will be open this Sat (today). Have to wait and see though. Girls are back in the Veneto and late night at Ahche is still good.

Fellow Mongers,

I just spoke to my regular girl in Panama and she had just spent four days in jail.

She had been upstairs (Club Foto) located in the second floor of Habanos when a huge law enforcement raid took place. Apparently they were looking for drugs and found a distribution network among the servers in the Habanos, first floor.

As a result everyone spent time in the slammer while they interrogated and sorted it all out. I understand the place was closed or is still closed.

All the working girls are in the clubs like La Bodeguita and Ache (H).

So, discretion is advised when visiting Habanos. I would probably make it a short stop to pick up talent and then move to a bar or restaurant nearby.

According to my chica, this has created a glut as chica's are scrambling for places to perch to look for work. I believe this is an opportunity to negotiate prices down from their current inflated spot. I think I would open with $50 for one shot.

The Venetto is very selective on the amount and quality of chicas it allows in right now, so that is also a limited alternative.

I have some digits available if you need help.

Good to know, but I am wondering on how this will create a Glut. If anything all the girls will move to one bar. (A Che) and so will all the guys looking for them. Most of the girls from Habanos go over to A Che Around midnight anyway.

In addition, what usually happens after these raids is the girls hide out. Stay in there apts et. I have been down twice the night after immigration raids and every bar was virtually dead. The girls tend to hide out for a few days till things quiet down. The real problem is the long term future of Panama as these raids drug related or not are becoming more frequent.

Moulin Rouge, Doll House, and Habano's Closed Due To Drug Sales.

Thursday, June 23 2011@04:47 PM COT.

The nights of fantasy on Via Veneto have been canceled since last Saturday. Two of the three sites dedicated to presenting "stripper shows" remain closed. The regular customers, both local and foreign, who frequented the Moulin Rouge and the Doll House, will have to wait to see the erotic and sensual dance of the girls who brighten the environment. Javier Caraballo, Panama's Anti Drug Prosecutor, told El Siglo that the clubs remain under investigation. In both places, the Directorate of Judicial Investigation (DIJ) , in conjunction with the Anti Drug Prosecutor's Office found people who were engaged in the sale of cocaine and the drug known as 'LSD'. In this operation, called Fiesta. 35 people were arrested, including tourists. Eight people remain in custody and under investigation. The authorities believe they are linked to the sale of narcotics. According to the prosecutor Caraballo, the 52 women who were dedicated to dancing and the "stripper show" had their entertainer's visas and permits. He said the operation, which also searched Habano's in the banking district near Calle 50, was carried out due to the persistent allegations of drug sales. (El Siglo)

I was there in mid-May and paid $28 to get to the Veneto area, I took a cab I found on my trip when I went to the airport, he charged me $20.

[The Dirty Pirate]

I just paid $25, but I'm using a cabbie I've known for a long time. And my trip was from PTY to the Belle Vista area. Might be getting a deal (or maybe NOT!)

FYI, cab rides within the city proper should never more than about 3 bucks. If you are paying much more than that, you are paying the 'gringo surcharge'. As always, ask before you pull away from the curb.

No entry fee, either.

Thanks, not a newbie, just sorting out the latest trends. I agree, never take a Veneto / hotel cab, walk down the block and get one passing by.

[Majagualo]

What are the going rates from PTY airport to the Veneto / Belle Vista area? Arrive next week.

I also understand they have done away with the $5 entry fee at the airport?

Thanks.

Go to the 2nd level departure area and take a cab thats delivering fares. They need a fare back to the city. $10. 00 to Venetto. $25. 00 or more if you use one from the depature area. No more $5. 00 tourist card.

having just returned from pty late yesterday evening, i thought it might be helpful to post some very up-to-date intel on some of my favorite sites in panama.

for business reasons most of my adventures took place during the day / early evening, with one notable exception, so please keep this in mind when comparing this information with any of your own personal experiences in panama city. many of you more practiced punters will know all of these locations, and due to a simple lack of time (and perhaps testosterone) i was not able to hit some other well known hot spots such as oasis, golden time, club elite, le palace, etc. i will have to leave coverage of these places to others on this thread. and if you don't know all the joints i refer to in this field report, not to worry. virtually every cabbie here worth his license will. this is a city of 1. 5 million that lives like it's mayberry! i will also submit another subsequent report shortly with more details on some basic recommendations for newbies or infrequent visitors to panama city. but first, the news:

club habanos. hands down, still my favorite place for just the sheer ecstasy of beautiful chica overload. i know i get some strenuous argument from some of my fellow mongers when i say it is the best place on the planet for this hobby, with sites in brazil frequently being mentioned as surpassing this club for total numbers and attractiveness. having never been to that country (yet) i will have to humbly defer to those who know both locations. but i've mongered on four continents over 25 years, and for me this spot actually exceeds my not inconsiderable experiences even in the fabled 'man-heavens' of macau, thailand, and the philippines. to each his own, i suppose.

it has been about a year since i last saw this humming, thriving locale of pure hot, sexy latina freelance loveliness, and i immediately noted that it has been altered and expanded to be even more of an 'open air' affair, (no pun intended) with the only enclosed party room now upstairs on the 2nd floor. as usual, the possibilities were about 90% columbiana (that's just fine with me) with a few dominicanas thrown in for variety. i actually met one of the few true panamanian providers i've ever run into upstairs. nice, but paled in comparison to her incredible chica sisters from elsewhere in the latina world. there must have been 50-60 or more ladies here by 11:00 pm on a warm, muggy weekday evening, each more gorgeous than the next and outnumbering the hombres (mostly americans / europeans) by 2 to 1. lots of competition, so if you want to get those long, deep 'lustful stares' and smiles from some unbelievably sexy faces with amazingly hot figures, this is the place. about $ seemed to be the going rate. got digits from a 4 foot nothin' gorgeous spinner with a million dollar smile and arranged two actual hookups later in the week. stunner!

bad news was, as i was literally being driven to the airport by my wingman / local cabbie very early in the am just yesterday, a raid was in full force. my man apologized for being a few minutes late due to all the mandatory road stops. seems the policia had ringed the downtown area with a double or even triple cordon of checkpoints on the streets, conducting yet another immigration raid, with club h apparently at the epicenter. this started about 2:15 am he reported from one of his police buddies, and we were stopped twice at checkpoints on our way out about 5:30 am. i saw a couple of hapless, nice looking providers up against a squad car being questioned or detained. i hate that!

immigration raids are frequently the topic of discussion at the club with the chicas, but at least until this happened, it did not seem to dampen the action.

golden spa. tried a place for service that i'd only scoped out last year. open 24 hours and in a bit of a residential / industrial suburb, you park in back behind a blue building, and the price is. 90 for an hour of a bit of a massage and other 'attentions'. i was permitted to select from a hastily drawn line-up of 8 or so girls about 3 pm in the afternoon. i made my selection for no other reason than she bore an amazing likeness to a young lady i'd admired on the flight on the way into pty! daniela stated she was 27, columbiana, of course, and definitely a hot natural body a bit on the healthy side when fully unclothed. everything was available, including quite a bit of gfe action, dfk, manual penetration, etc. but when i inquired about greek lessons, she told me the price was an additional $. when i demurred, she asked what i was willing to pay, and when i said. 20, she laughed politely and that was the end of that negotiation! in retrospect, i suspect. 50 or so would have done the trick, but i didn't think she was worth it. the other providers in evidence were early 30's or so, a bit professional looking with a lot of artificial enhancement, but solid 7's and 8's. just not my cup of tea.

gruta azul. has been good in the past, but was dead beyond belief at 2 pm on a weekend afternoon, when the 4 or 5 chicas i saw in residence were apparently only then beginning to wake up and a lot more interested in the hot meal just delivered. we got barely a disinterested glance. pass.

la gloria sucursal del cielo. i'd run into a very nice gfe experience last year in this place with karina, a 32 year old tight bodied spinner. she had bolt ons but they were reasonable in size, exceptionally well done (kudos to her surgeon!) and was so damn good i just had to break my rule on that subject. the way these ladies must come in and out of columbia, i really didn't expect to see her here again, especially during the day. but i confirmed with the bar tender that yes, she still worked there, but only nightssome. i arranged my schedule so my one and only true late night adventure would include this place. and lo and behold, about 7:30 as i walked in, there was my little angel. as beautiful and attentive as ever, she seemed to trump even her considerable previous gfe skills. she professed to remember me very well, and recounted some minute details of our first encounter. she told me they rarely see anglos in clubs like this, especially someone who can carry on a reasonable conversation in spanish. at any rate, the place was dead, with about a dozen guys and perhaps as many chicas. i consider this place to be one of the few real values left in pty, especially when considering price vs. quality. they have a unique pricing structure of. 17 for 10 minutes, .34 for 20, and. 51 for 30 minutes. i usually like an hour or more, and karina never rushes you, but i simply cannot help myself when in her presence and 30 minutes fully drained my abilities. she is small, athletic, with a true rock hard apple butt, yet can be great at dfk and all sorts of other stimulation. bj is mostly, though not completely covered, and greek is off the menu. god, i do hope to see her once again. the ladies here are late 20's to early 30's with a few dominicanas, and mostly solid 7's. 8's and even a couple of 9's in my opinion. you can sit and drink / chat with the chicas as long as you want, and no high priced ladies' drinks. definitely not high pressure, but very friendly. you pay your fee and retire to a clean room in back whenever the mood strikes you.

la boca torrena / la mayor. i lump these two hot spots together as they are literally next door to each other in casco viejo, and though different types of clubs in many respects, somewhat similar in others. first, la mayor.

this place wasn't open on my last visit a year ago and i was eager to see what it was all about. open by 2 pm or so each day, it has your 'regulation' dance floor and the obligatory pole for the chicas. you pay $3 to get in but it pretty much covers your first drink. an extra 50 cents for a panama. they stamp your hand and you can get back in and out at ease. a nice feature when you want to slip next door to check out la boca torrena for a while. there are chicas, of course at la mayor, and many of them are pretty damn nice looking, with the usual columbianas and dominicanas. many seemed quite 'healthy' however, and i don't mean fat, just tall and well filled out, but i did see one particularly nice spinner. i finally got one of the providers to tell me how the pricing worked as we watched one bored chica after another do the mandatory two-dance minimum on stage. sorry, but for as sexy as they are, latinas just cannot hold a candle to american exotic dancers in my opinion. they 'stomp' more than dance, and they hug that pole like it's some kind of life-line. anyway, i digress. pricing was. 17 for 15 minutes and. 30 for 30 minutes in private rooms upstairs which i was told were very clean. and all of this without any clothing. seemed a quite fair price vs quality ratio, but i could not understand how these girls maintained all those healthy figures! not 'hungry' for business at all, they were totally unaggressive, usually just sitting by themselves or in small groups, looking quite bored. at first i thought it was just me, and some shyness about 'gringo encounters' but i noticed the local cholos got the same damn treatment. maybe it gets better in the evening. well worth a visit, however.

la b-t, right next door is about as low-down mongering as i've ever encountered in any 'organized' establishment. on my visits last year i had this large local as my wing-man, and still felt i was right on the edge at times. but throwing caution to the wind, i hit this place numerous times solo this go-round, always during the day or early evening. at the risk of repeating a lot of information many of you already know, it's just as dark, dank, and reeking of stale beer and [CodeWord109] as ever. but i found early mornings particularly productive (open 24 hours, but i was there as early as 7 am some mornings). at that time there are still 30 or more chicas and very few cholos. i met a columbiana that struck my fancy and arranged for take-out the following morning. true to her word, she was there at 7 when i arrived and we hit a no-tel for. 11/3 hours. we negotiated to. 50 for what wound up being much longer than an hour of fun, and a real gfe experience, with absolutely everything on the table. a funny and all around charming lady as well. was a school teacher from cali in need of money. she admitted to being 45, and i know what you are thinking, but honest to god, she was all natural, and had a certain italian look about her. i would have bet money at 28 yo, maximum. her name was gabriela, and i got digits and even e-mail, but never got a chance to repeat, much to my chagrin.

she was relieved to participate in a one hour take-out, as i believe most of the ladies of la b-t are, with pricing varying from. 40..60 for most of the providers, and this is before any serious negotiations. a 10 minute run upstairs at la boca t. will run you. 15, but the rooms are disgusting, and i believe most girls take care of business with as much of their clothing on as physically possibly when using the local facility. none i met liked it at all! but the bar scene, with dozens and dozens of chicas constantly coming in and out, along with a definitely downscale clientele to match, is truly something to behold. as an obvious anglo at well over six feet and blonde hair and beard, i got more than my fair share of stares, mostly from the ladies, and once again, of the most lustful variety. i was told whites, and even black americans were very rare here, and i received a lot of caresses, smiles, and even a fair share of groping as i passed through the crowd, some even quite aggressive. still as much variety as ever, with a lot of young, dull eyed damas as well as aging pros, little spinners and not so little chunkies. it takes a while, but can usually spot an acceptable provider, at least to my tastes. and if not, just wander on back to la mayor for a while.

street action on calle uruguay. just for fun, my wing man and i toured this well know street for putas de la calle around midnight one evening. most were panamanias, with a few columbianas and even some transvestites thrown in for 'fun'. pricing ran. 20 to. 80 for a really hot looking 'quweko' or tranny. nothing to see here folks, just move along.

sorry for the length of my fr, but i hope it jogs a few good memories, and provides some last minute info for any fellow punters in, or on their way shortly to pty. have a good time, it's very hard not too.
