Makati

[Heirloom]

Wow, first time in PH and Asia in general and these prices are nuts. Guys paying 150 - 200 for just ST and stuff. I just left Latin America and you can get better deals or similar pricing in America's backyard. Imagine coming all the way to Asia, South East Asia and paying 200 for box on a girl that isn't even all that. What in the world is going on out here?

I damn sure missed on the golden era. 50-100 more and you have Europe prices. And if you include FKKs in Germany and stuff you actually pay less. Had a girl quote me 400 USD from Tinder. This is crazy. Glad I'm young and don't have to rely on tricking. But damn was at least hoping to have it as a option. No way I'm paying these. Idk if its the Korean tricks or what.

No way Jose. ID rather fap before paying all that here in PH. You can go to Brazil and get a actual pornstar looking woman for around that rate in the Rio clubs.

Madness.

For sure. When and if I decide to live in the Philippines, it will definitely not be in AC. But for now, I can literally spend a month there and not get bored. Every day is lazy and every night is an adventure.

Living in Philippines rather than being a tourist possibly skews my viewpoint further however.

Lollipop is a small bar upstairs, and has a private room in the back, opposite wall from the bar (at least last year when I was there).

Forgot to mention that just around the corner on Durban St, Dimple's bar has a for-rent private room. Its big-enough to have a small birthday party in (have seen parties in there). The windows are blacked out except for the window on the entry door. I'm sure there is a shade that can be pulled if you wanted to pony up some cash and take a girl back there. Someone previously mentioned that Maison has a privado.

Ahh but you forget the draw of the Philippines. Bareback availability everywhere. If that goes away, everything there goes away. Otherwise there's no draw compared to Thailand.

Makati and Burgos is for 3 day businessmen who have no other options. For the rest of us, spending weeks in county, I recommend going straight to AC and finding the good ones.

Hey FG, it's an excellent point, I didn't forget about it as such, but bareback is not an activity I partake in wherever I am in the world (as much as possible anyway), so didn't consider this in the cost review.

If you're on sex holiday and want bareback Angeles is probably the destination of choice. I personally couldn't spend more than a few days there without being bored. Living in Philippines rather than being a tourist possibly skews my viewpoint further however.

Correct, ST tip to girls was 3 k ish THB. Use of ST rooms in bar around 1. 5 k THB to girl and 500 THB to bar for room.

Agreed, majority of Thai gogo also offer some level of nudity for all girls, with some bars being full nude. That is a rare occurrence in the Philippines. I am definitely one of people that has experienced full nudity in Maison etc, but that is at seats with single girl, while groups of girls get naked at seats, it's not whole nudity across bar like in Thailand. Gives you a better idea who to focus on at start of evening, and, as you say, its generally much easier to find girl of higher standard in Thailand, they are everywhere, compared to search for a diamond in the rough in Angeles.

I've been offered chance to go upstairs in Nautika too, but I think that was to go in Lollipop, not a ST room.

I assume that's 1 K thb to the bar + 5 K thb tip to the girl?.

Correct, ST tip to girls was 3 k ish THB. Use of ST rooms in bar around 1. 5 k THB to girl and 500 THB to bar for room.

About $250 USD. And I confess, Thai gogo bars have better looking girls than Phils. However it makes my point that there are expensive places in every country. IG models and such in Phils might command considerably higher prices, and come with western demands (condom, 1 pop, 60 minutes max, etc)

It's hard to look past 400+1500 on Soi 6 but top of the heap for bargain pussy has to be the 300+100 k ($26) Jakarta cat houses. Both are on premises ST though.

Enjoy. G.

Excellent point Goferring, I didn't include ST rooms in bars in my comparison due to the lack of availability of that in the Philippines. Excellent point-and-shoot options are available in Pattaya. In Burgos ST rooms appear to be available in Maison, I have definitely been offered use of such a room, however, when others have asked girls denied all knowledge of their existence. I've been offered chance to go upstairs in Nautika too, but I think that was to go in Lollipop, not a ST room. Outside of those two bars option never discussed, whereas in Pattaya it's available in every bar.

In BKK you're looking at around 800-1 k THB for barfine and 5 k THB for longtime.

I assume that's 1 K thb to the bar + 5 K thb tip to the girl?

Beers such as Chang are more expensive than local equivalent of SML here, lady drinks about same. Drinking in group of friends easy to blow another 2 k THB. That's around 13 k PHP.

There are obviously other alternatives in Thailand too with TF, Tinder, beer bars and freelancers all being available in 1 k to 3. 5 k THB range for short time. Gogo hobby is definitely worst scenario for wallet.

A real price range.

What's always made me laugh is that by simply walking through the doors can 10 X the price on Burgos. 1000 street walkers and 10 k nights are only 10 feet apart and are both readily available. And that's on one street. Sure different quality but it illustrates the point.

It's hard to look past 400+1500 on Soi 6 but top of the heap for bargain pussy has to be the 300+100 k ($26) Jakarta cat houses. Both are on premises ST though.

Again, real price ranges.

[Goferring]

For comparison, can anyone update us on the post-covid cost of a typical LT barfine in BKK or Patts? Both the typical barfine and tip amounts.

As the other gents have pointed out, there are other less-expensive alternatives:

Let's not even discuss the 'up to you' pricing in the provinces.

Went over to Thailand for a trip in May.

Drinking in group of friends easy to blow another 2 k THB. That's around 13 k PHP. Pattaya was slightly cheaper, but not as much compared to Angeles in comparison as Manila.

Why is this place so expensive. I thought sea was supposed to be cheap.

First, is that an overarching generalization?

SEA is not just one place, where everything costs the same amount in every small location. Manila is 20 million people and possibly the densest city on earth (things are always more expensive in the big smoke). Burgos gogo bars are the most expensive in the country. You want point-and-shoot, where you can walk in and out of a bar in 15 minutes with a girl for the night? You pay the price. $250 for all night, no condom, and 2 pops isn't exactly outrageous. Are there $5000 USD *per hour* girls in your country (who require a condom)? Yes there are. Would you go to the most expensive place in Columbia or Mexico, then complain about the prices?

As the other gents have pointed out, there are other less-expensive alternatives: SW ($60 gets you an overnighter + 2 pops), Tinder, SA, LAC, dating apps, and such. Get away from Manila and prices drop considerably. The country's second-largest girlie area is AC, also point-and-shoot, where bars charge much less (half, p4000 or 5000, which is $80-$100, up front). Outside of these 2 places (and Cebu gogo bars), your alternatives dwindle down to dating apps. To spend less, start dating. As most of our 2-week warriors don't have the time for dating, they pay a 'convenience fee' called the 'barfine', and they are happy to pay it. Most Burgos bars will run you about p11 k ($200).

I guess I should use seeking where 7000 will be considered a good deal with hotter girls.

Yes, there is information on the Board about Seeking also. It is just one of the alternatives to Burgos.

7 k for just the batting, then extra on top of that to the girl? You can find freelancers for much less, or escorts for the same or less and not have to deal with the whole bar scene (which I hate in general). Other than seeing multiple girls to choose from, what is the advantage?

Paying 7000+7000+6000 for drinks maybe with a total of 20000 is ridiculous. That too not LT. Spending approximately $400 , no wonder the girl is DFK ing him all the time. My experience in Burgos street is limited. Only went there in the nineties when I first started going to Philippines. At that time it was the place to go to get the best girls. It was kind of expensive but not to this level. I guess there is clientele who pay these prices. Philippines is known for inexpensive mongering.

Asked mama for barfine and she quoted 9 k for the bar and 9 k for the girl. Now, I had read the forum and knew that it should be 3 k-4 k for the bar and 4 k-5 k for the girl, therefore, I countered with my offer of 4 k and 5 k. However, the mama just rudely left my table without agreeing to my offer. Later came back and offered 4. 4 k for the bar and 7 k for the girl but wanted full payment upfront.

Good report. However full payment up front leaves the increased probability of poor service from the girl. If she gives a starfish performance, or alternately just walks away without providing service, you don't have the tip to hold over her.

It was around 2 am already and I decided to get out of Oculto and settle for the FYRE girl I was DFKing all night. Paid mamasan 12 k expecting 600 back but she said, "600 tip for mama" and didn't give back my change. Anyway, I just gave up on collecting my change and went back to my hotel with the girl.

The mama already gets a cut of the p4400 barfine that you gave. Nothing wrong with tipping, but its not a tip when she just didn't return your change, and it encourages her to repeat.

What followed was an amazing time with the girl. After two shots I saw her off at the lobby but even there she couldn't stop kissing me, the Pinas are at a different level I must say. So, all in all, things could have been a whole lot worse for 200 dollars.

This part keeps me in Phils.
