Angeles City

[Buko Max]

I've found a lot of cheap places (between 15-30 a night) like Hotel V, Tune Hotels, Hotel California. Any of these ring a bell?

You might want to check the Angeles hotel thread but Tune (owned by Air Asia) is new to AC and is currently having a sale:

Noddy has already given you some info about the regular bus companies. I doubt that they will take you to the airport. The private foreign-friendly services I mentioned do not go to the airport.

Hi X,

Do you know if there a bus line that runs from Olongapo to Manila airport? Or do they all go back to AC first?

Thanks

I took a bus return from Pasay Bus Station to Olongapo Town centre, I think the service runs every 20min or so. Service name escapes me. Took a trike from Subic, about a 20 min ride, return. Will drop you off at the station in Olongapo. Obviuosly, you will require taxi to airport. Hope this is helpful.

Guys, headed to Philippines on short notice. Want to make a run up from Manila for a few days. Don't have a lot of time for research? Does anyone know any cheap girl friendly hotels in Angeles City that can be booked through sites like Travelocity or Hotels. Com? I've found a lot of cheap places (between 15-30 a night) like Hotel V, Tune Hotels, Hotel California. Any of these ring a bell?

Not looking for luxury. My only requirements are a reliable safe, hot water in the shower, no bed bugs, and air conditioning.

Thanks a ton for any help!

Did they leave any bottles for you? I think there is a limit that you can take out, that was what I was told before.

The guys were airport security staff not customs officers, anyway I know the country I imported it too said I can import up to 10 bottles. 2 duty free.

Airport security took 3 bottles of liquor from my checked in luggage, they are a pack of thieves.

AC is superior. In fact guys will pick up a gal in AC and then hit the beaches of Olongapo. But why take my word for it, you can do both. Fly the Bus (Swagman) and Southern Cross run buses MNL / AC / Subic Bay everyday.

Has anyone heard anything recently about issues at Clark? Been hearing some rumblings about hassles using Clark. TIA

Actually no need IMO. Don't underestimate the bars in Olongapo, lots of hotties there as well. I was there again recently after several years and I was pleasantly surprised.

Cheers!

I'm headed to the PI after a 7yrs absence and will either be going to Subic or AC. I have been to both about 7 years ago and stayed at the Blue Rock Resort while in Subic (Baloy Beach) and at the Blue Nile while in AC. I've been reading the FF and have read pluses and minus about AC. Is Subic a better monger hole than AC in so far as quality of the women and expense?

Currently in AC staying for a week.

Have not barfined any girls because I am with my GF who is providing all the sex and company I need.

However she is open for me to cruise the bars alone. Got tired of staying in Manila, so thought AC was a good diversion.

There are many old bars open with some new ones. Also some old bars with new names. Dirty Duck closed for good it looks like.

Drinks- Most perimeter bars charge 50-70 for a beer.

Fields avenue bars charge between 90. 140.

140 pesos at forbidden city.

Ladydrinks- All basic are 150 pesos. Make sure you mention the waitress you only want to buy 150 peso ladydrink before you offer.

Otherwise they will charge you 300 pesos.

Some bars have advertised outside saying certain days beer is 60 pesos and ladydrinks are 100 pesos.

Barfine- All fields avenue bars charge 1500 onwards. Average is 2000 pesos unless you want a spotlight girl.

Perimeter bars also charge 1200 upwards.

Punter situation- Bars are not crowded. I have seen many punters just come and have a drink and leave. Waitresses told me men have stayed away from barfining. Why? Do not know. Maybe they have regulars sneaking in after work.

Ofcourse you see certain overnight millionaires having lots of girls around and buying them drinks.

Hotels- Lots of construction is going on. Many new hotels are coming up.

I am staying at Devera Hotel. Clean, new, convenient. Some noise because of construction daytime.

Restaurents- None are crowded as I used to see before.

Girls- Bought ladydrinks to few. Most are in older age bracket around 23-27. Used to see lots of teeny boppers before.

Maybe because of all the raids have scared of young girls or bars hiring them.

Its an issue for the Girls trying to travel w / foreigner boyfriends. Going outside the country. Like to HK, BKK,

The PI is scrutinizing the girls tough (for potential "[CodeWord908]"). Stopping many from leaving period, or asking so many questions making the girls miss their flights. No refund!

There is no issue for Tourist, Its a Philippine issue. Unless you're trying to take a girl out of the country.

If you take the girl to manila. Its less hassle. Although not hassle free.

Any moment now, some lurker will suggest we rename this the "breakfast" thread.

I like GFE, but have been in the mood of Ekspat many times. I've also regretted seeing a few excuse themselves after the morning session. I've even thrown out a few withoug shagging them just because their attitude changed so much during the ten minutes between bar and bed.

Same here. Usually I send the girl home in the morning with some tip, so she can buy her own food, before I take my breakfast.

Cheers!
