For 14 years I have been flying from Thailand to Manila and back. I just recently altered my route to go Bangkok - Manila - Hong Kong. At Bangkok Airport they check for your ticket back to Thailand or from Manila to your next City and then home

Have a R/T ticket to Thailand before going to te Airport.

Actually, I'm more concerned with getting back into Thailand from the PI. I'm going for an extended stay in LOS and want to take a sub-vacation to the PI (almost certain now after reading the reports here). I'm worried about how my visa will work.

You did bring up something I hadn't thought of: my return ticket will be back to Thailand, not my home country. Will that be a problem?

[Isagani]

I am assuming that you are asking about visa requirements if one is planning to visit the Philippines. As far as I know, if you are a U.S. citizen, no visa is required, if you stay 30 days or less. But you need to show that you have a rountrip ticket to your home country. Same thing applies if you are a citizen of a country that is a member of ASEAN. (Association of Southeast Asian Nations). I would recommend to either check on the website of the Philippine's Department of Foreign Affairs or go to the Philippine consulate or embassy nearest you.

Sorry for cross posting, but I'm not sure where this one fits:

While on vacation, I want to take a few days to a week to visit Vietnam and possibly the PI. Since I would be starting out from Thailand, are there any special visa requirements coming or going?

I'm an experienced Filipina hunter and will be arriving again in the country Sat. March 6 (Manilla, later to Angeles)

Anybody interested to join me on a tour around the hotspots?

FKK Krazy,

Okay you are new here. So I will repeat again. Read the Posts. Go to the "Other Areas" section and read my Post of about 6 weeks ago on Dumaguete. This is exactly what you are seeking. Fly from Manila direct and hit the Boulevard. Hotel I stay at is out of town quite a bit in a secluded section but has a lovely pool and is next to the beach.

Several nice Hotels right on the Boulevard. I checked with a travel agency in one and got quoted $ 258 US R/T to Hong Kong from Manila plus 2 nts hotel. This is awesome as a couple weeks ago on a last minute purchase I paid $ 195 1 way on Cathay Pacific from Manila to Hong Kong.

Tons of young women in Dumaguete. If you do not fuck yourself silly, it is your fault. After Davao, this is my favorite place in the Phils. Davao also has what you are seeking and Posts there tell you all about it.

You can fly direct to Davao, hook up with me and GoodEnough and "live it up". Then, fly to Cebu and head directly to Pier 4. Take the daily Supercat boat to Dumaguete. Lets you off just before the Boulevard with plenty of fine Hotels. If you travel in late April and are more or less a "good guy" you can accompany me on trips to both places. GoodEnough will most likely be along to keep the "Team" intact. We do very little sightseeing though. Cuts into our time drinking fine Wines, Premium Champagne and fucking gorgeous, young filipinas.

Good luck.

LJonson,

Must be new to the Philippine Section. Read the Makati, Cebu & Davao Posts for the information you need.

I have been going to Pattaya Thailand for 16 years now. I enjoy it but find it more expensive than the Philippines. Not much chance of hooking up with a regular girl there unless you speak good Thai or have the "balls of Godzilla" to go up and try chatting them in English. I often fly into Thailand, get a taxi direct to Pattaya and then go to the Philippines.

I prefer the Philipines. Women are much more genuine and less likely to hit you up for large sums of money when they become your woman. My Daughter's Mom, former beauty contest winner, never asked me for anything for years. Not until she became pregnant with my little girl (of course, since the baby was born she has been making up for all those yrs of not asking for $$$)

I have met more than a dozen ladies in the Philippines over the last 13 yrs that I would probably be happy settling down with here. Problem is just that. I met too many ladies I would be happy with here.

Parts of the Philippines offering best price/$$$ is easy. Two words: DAVAO and DUMAGUETE. You will need an extra cock is the only problem. The one gets worn out pretty fast. Read the posts for both areas.

Have Fun.

I am looking for your advice about the Phillipines. I am currently planning a long trip to SE Asia. I am defintely going to Thailand, but have always been curious about the Phillipines. I like the fact that English is widely spoken and the girls seem passionate. the airfare from Singapore and Hong Kong is rather expensive, so I just want to make sure I will find what I am looking for before heading out that way.

I am not sure I am up for a lot of time in Manila though and am wondering if there are any places in the Phillipines like Phuket where there is at least some nightlife and a beach with bungalows and some activites? What about safety?

Anywhere else in SE Asia recommended? Indonesia?

thanks for your help...will report back...

The Peso to Dollar exchange rate maybe P56.35 = $1.00 but actual exchange in the many Dollar changers varies. As of yesterday, my $100.00 = P 5,790 but it could be a couple of hundred of pesos under or over what I got.

As for prices, I did not see any changes last night while scoping the Malate area. I was still able to negotiate a P1,000 LT with a 20 y.o. student last night. As for her tip, well, I'll let her sleep for a moment and let her earn it when she wakes up. Its a weekend anyway. ;)

[Isagani]

As of today, Feb. 21, the Dollar to Philippine Peso rate is $1=56.35 Php. The higher US dollar value generally has a strong influenced on your spending power. However a lot of high end places to stay in the Philippines will quote you in U.S. dollar so I am not sure if this is relevant. As far as how much the girls will charge if the dollar is up, I have no idea. It is likely that they will adjust prices when the Philippine peso is devalued. I have no first hand experience.

lJohnson,

The prices in the PI are so low, just like Thailand, that its not worth worrying about.

Re the girls: they are beautiful and friendly, and most speak good english. The problem is the infrastructure, which is horrendous in the PI. I wrote several reports in August '03 wherein I tried to go beyond the dollar/cent and anecdotal format. I hope they give you a feel for the place.

I would recommend going to a beach area that way you will have something to do daytime, but everyone has to experience Manila at least once.

To anyone who cares to respond:

I have a real fondness for Filipinas here in the states; to me they are the most beautiful and the sexiest women in the world. But my mongering has been limited to Thailand, and mostly Pattaya. I found Pattaya to be great; the girls and the prices.

Tell me, please, how does the Philippines compare to Pattaya in terms of prices and overall experience with the girls? And what parts of the Philippines offer the best experience for the money.

Thanks,

LJohnson
