Angeles City

[Dafacer]

Sailor man, I'll be following in your footsteps this fall...moving to AC and making occasional trips to Tland to meet visa stuff. I'd like to buy you a beer and pick your brain when I get over there. My top concern of course is budget, give me an idea what yours is like when you can...Thanks! T

There are really only three reasons why I choose to live in this shit hole paradise called Angeles when comparing it to Pattaya.

A. The number one reason, is the Thai Goverment just makes it too hard for me to live there year round. With Tiger Airways located at Clark, I am only $100 dollars away from a vacation in Thailand. It is so so so much ealier to live here full time.

B. The number two reason is the language problem. Most Thai ladies I encountered spoke so little English that after a couple of week, the effort just wasn't worth it knowing how much easier communication was here in Angeles.

C. Number three is just a small reason. In Thailand, the religion is so much different. In the Philippines the Religion is much like some parts of the states. There is not that much culture difference. The values are similiar to the states. As I said number three is of far lesser problem. Number 1 and 2 are just too hard for me to overcome for a retirement home.

When you go to Thailand ( Pattaya), be sure to check out the several boards that deal with just Pattaya. You will be so so glad you did. But of course ever good monger knows this and you would not be on this great board.

Enjoy your next trip to Thailand and if you head back to Angeles, pm me and lets have a beer.

The rest of my trip I will be in AC. and have decided on the Pacific Breeze. What is the best way to get to AC from Manila and back. I can set it up with the hotel for about $50 each way. Is this the best way to go or is there a better cheaper yet safe alternative.

If you stay at the Executive Plaza and feel adventureous, a safe and very cheap way to get to AC is by the Philippine Rabbit bus.

Take a taxi to the Avenida Philippine Rabbit bus terminal which takes 15 minutes and costs about P70, then board the bus to Angeles City/Dau. You buy your ticket onboard. The trip takes 1.5 hours and costs about P130. Tell the ticket guy you want to get off at the Fields Avenue stop. The bus stops at McArthur and Fields. You can then walk or take a trike to the Pacific Breeze depending on how much luggage you have.

I have done the trip via Rabbit bus twice and wouldn't go any other way. I wouldn't waste US$50 each way when you can do it just as fast for about US$4.

I think I will spend my first and last night in Manila for ease of travel. I will be tired but would still like to have some fun there. Where is a good place to stay that is close to the action not far from the airport and safe enough to walk to.

A good place to stay is in Ermita at the Executive Plaza Hotel. Book through Action Travel in Angeles City for a rate of P1,500/nt. You pay the hotel at checkout. See: http://www.actiontravelac.com/hotels.html

Why you want to stay in Ermita is because of the LA Cafe. It is a two block walk from the Executive Plaza and is full of freelancers and is open 24hrs/day. See: http://ermita.com/LA%20cafe/index.htm

The Executive Plaza is a 20 minute taxi ride from the airport but don't worry as the times you will be going to/form the airport the traffic will be light.

Well, after 24 hours of traveling from Afghanistan to Manila because of delays, I finally arrived in AC. I’m just glad my driver was still at the airport to meet me. So as I arrive at the Wild Orchid, I go up to my room, and take care of the three S’s in about 15 minutes.

I figures that since I was pretty much wasted from the travel I would just do some recanaissance and then call it a night. My first stop was at Blue Nile where the place was pretty much empty with the exception of the abundance of girls. Some good lookers and definitely worth paying a visit back to later. Next it was off to one of my old favorites of Champagne. It’s not as rocking as it used to be, and the girls were lacking the fun they used to have. On the other hand, the waitresses are pretty smoking. Think I liked most is the no pressure atmosphere it has always been for me, yet everyone is still friendly. I had a few there and then moved on to Camelot. As reported before, the girls who used to be at Champagne moved over to Camelot. Place has a few good lookers here and the girls are still real friendly. After about 45 minutes here I figured I should move on.

Headed over to Dollhouse in which I walked into a mock contest of who is the best looking I think. Some real good looking dancers here, but the club is just too loud and too much for my taste, but I will give it a go again as I was tired and that could have been factoring into my bad time there. But they did have some real lookers; the dance crew was good, and it probably is better then my initial visit.

Next stop was the old Pick-UP dico whatever it is called now. Club seemed nice, but not the best looking dancers IMHO. Very friendly waitresses but a little too pushy, as I was constantly surrounded by six or seven of them, which honestly isn’t a bad thing, it’s a great thing, but can get a little old after a bit, and again my levels of frustration could have been up after my travels.

I was thinking about calling it a day, but figured I would go back to Champagne and have one last SanMig. When I was there earlier I noticed a waitress eying me quite a bit, so I called her over as I was sitting at the bar. She was a tad bit older then what I usually go for, but I was thinking I needed a little mellower night if I bar fined anyone. Little did I know that the girl wore me out. The little girl got on top and wouldn’t get off until she finished twice, then it was my turn as she calmly stated. Afterwards, it was a well deserved rest.

On a side note, I went to the optometrist before I came over and found out I needed glasses. I figured that since I was coming here, I would check prices out here before I bought anywhere else. Well, I can say that for 800p for the lenses and 7500p for Armani lenses, it cost me about 170 US for Armani prescription glasses, roughly half the cost in the states. I know a lot of people mention dentistry work over here, but thought I would throw this out as well.

More to follow…

Is Dirty Duck still the best BJ bar and what is your favorite bars for taking home girls.

Dirty Duck is a BJ-Bar?!? Didn't know that since I'm rarely in Fields.
Seems I have to check it out soon.

One last thing I did chat with a girl at a club called AngelWitch. I have seen clubs with similar names on the maps but not that. does anyone know where that club is ?

It's at the upper end of Fields near Main Gate and Jeepney terminal. Next to Roadhouse and SubDelicious.

Cheers!

I am making my first visit in May. I arrive late at night in Manila(10:30) and leave the following week early morning(7)

I think I will spend my first and last night in Manila for ease of travel. I will be tired but would still like to have some fun there. Where is a good place to stay that is close to the action not far from the airport and safe enough to walk to.

The rest of my trip I will be in AC. and have decided on the Pacific Breeze. What is the best way to get to AC from Manila and back. I can set it up with the hotel for about $50 each way. Is this the best way to go or is there a better cheaper yet safe alternative.

What is a standard Bar Fine I have seen several numbers tossed about I am sure it varies and is it all night. What should I expect to pay for Short time and Long time

Is Dirty Duck still the best BJ bar and what is your favorite bars for taking home girls.

Last is it worth setting up FH dates or should I concentrate on P2P and be sure what I am getting.

I know most of this has been discussed before and I have read back for two years on the AC site but i would like any updated info.

Also I wouldnt mind having a drinking buddy or two if any one will be in town starting the 14th. I will be a paid member shortly and can take PMs

Guys,

I'm visiting AC the first week of June. Last time there was April 2000. I've read many of the reports given in the last 6 months and it seems that good AC is still the same. I'm sure there are some changes but the basics are the one constant. I was planning on staying the Orchid Inn and was curious if the new(to me) Flamigo club draws a crowd. Also curious about the weather during that period. I did go back a year to last June and nothing out of the ordinary posted just not many posts. Is this a slow time of year? I looked at the average weather and it appears that the rainy season starts in June. Any pointers? 49 days and 7 hours until touchdown in MNL

Then I go to Angeles City, I just expect one thing and thats plain old sex. The outside environment is rather dirty much like Mexico. The food can be ok depending upon where you go. The hotels have decent food.

The biggest factor for me is the ease of use. All I have to do is make a plane and hotel reservation. Then get to the hotel, put my things away, go across the street, pull a lady out and get laid.


I have not been to Pattaya, but my next trip will be to there. Im not expecting the same easy experience as in the Phils where I am simply dropped off at a hotel and walk across the street to get my ladies.

My time and cash is limited to where I can go and what I can spend. I will indeed miss Angeles when I do make that trip to Pattaya.

Good Times... I live of course in Angeles. I like to visit Pattaya, it has everything that I like and Angeles is missing. It has the beach, a beautiful Beach Road to walk down, better transportation, and overall much cleaner. It is of course a little more expensive for pussy and beer. You will find, it as convient to get both as it is in Angeles. Right out the door of most hotels and into a beer garden or some of the famous Soi 6 bars. Walking street at night has to be an experience not to be compared to anywhere in the world.

There are really only three reasons why I choose to live in this shit hole paradise called Angeles when comparing it to Pattaya.

A. The number one reason, is the Thai Goverment just makes it too hard for me to live there year round. With Tiger Airways located at Clark, I am only $100 dollars away from a vacation in Thailand. It is so so so much ealier to live here full time.

Looks are subjective. I dont find the majority of AC women to be fat exactly, but i do believe their bodies are probably thicker then most other asians. My true preference is for a woman who is rail-thin. The AC women are generally slender, but not truely rail-thin most of the time. There are definately a few who I would say are chubby. Im not sure if I will find the rail-thinness in Thailand, but the pictures do suggest that its a high possibility.

I will say the treatment I received in Angeles City was the most accomodating out of any other women I have been with in my life. I have never really encountered such kindness from women that I just met. For example, I walk into a bar and walk out with a woman. Then I spend the night with her and she acts as if we have been boyfriend/girlfriend for years. Sometimes it gets to a point where I have to ask the woman to leave because my intentions were more of a short-term nature. I like this conduct because I would rather have me being the one determining the time when the lady should leave and not the other way around.

They get these pumpkin head. They get pat to look frosperous.

Well, I dont agree. My experience you have to be LUCKY to find a nice one in Pattaya, in AC there are many more of the nice ones.

Shure you can if you stay at a hotel in the Walking street. Go outside the bars along the street from 6pm and the girls will invite you by. Barfine from 300 and up if I remember right, pluss the girls.

Ok, hope you are LUCKY!

[Girlfinder]

..However, I do have to admit the pictures of the Thai ladies I see in the photo gallery (Certain pictures) do look better then what I can find in Angeles City. It seems the Thai women do have better bodies and faces in general..

I agree. Angeles City is probably not the place to be if your expecting a 5 course vacation full of culture, beaches and other such things.

When I go to Angeles City, I just expect one thing and thats plain old sex. The outside environment is rather dirty much like Mexico. The food can be ok depending upon where you go. The hotels have decent food.

The biggest factor for me is the ease of use. All I have to do is make a plane and hotel reservation. Then get to the hotel, put my things away, go across the street, pull a lady out and get laid. Everytime I have barfined a lady there have been minimal problems. The ladies usually stay all night long and I have to kick them out in the morning. On occasion you have a "runner" and the woman who is on menstruation, just a rare occasion for me.

The ladies are usually very friendly, speak English and accomodating. They will go to breakfast, lunch or dinner with you, the mall. Whatever you want to do. It seems more like their your friend.

My time and cash is limited to where I can go and what I can spend. I will indeed miss Angeles when I do make that trip to Pattaya.

In the short time i was in Angeles, almost every Filipino guy asked me to buy Viagra. Obviously, there is huge market for this. Talk about weird. How could anyone with half a brain buy medication anywhere other than a reputable health clinic/doctor? You may as well play Russian roulette for real. Incredibly risky and downright stupid.

Angeles is one ugly place. Why would expat men (wanting to live near cheap pussy) choose such a soulless place -- devoid of anything remotely interesting -- to buy a house or rent long-term there? Sure, the girls are great, but that’s it. And the food’s awful, too. That is, why angeles over phuket, samui, hua hin, pattaya, bali, or even nha trang in vietnam? When I wasn’t getting BJs, I was incredibly bored. No beach, no nice eateries, no parks, nothing.

[SuperMuffDiver69]

The tune is getting softer here and the gals are feeling the downward swing.The amount of cash is going south and the amount of customers in the bars at night is lover now than a month ago.I am sure this will help in the attatude dept for the guys that are still here.Five or six guys in a bar with fifety plus girls is not a mix for a good night at work.The staff is sitting half sleeping and the girls are getting slower and slower.The managers want to give the guys deals on ringing the bell so the numbers on sales stay up.

I on the other hand often get 20-p notes a thousand at a time and throw up to the dancers.The gals love this and the bar hates it I am quite sure.The big reason the bar gets no cut of the cash as when you buy ladies drinks.I feel the bars get enough and why not give the hard working little honeys some hard earned jack at face value.After all if a thousand pesos is big loot for a guy I am sure he has been here to long.On the downside be ready to be an unknown to the gals once the cash stops flying through the air.This is just the way it is they get and forget just that fast.Please dont get upset thats the way it is.

Please remember that the season is on the downside so better deals are on the way.The beauty you could never have is getting short on rice at home so just wait.

B.B.

Bill,

I've noticed that as well. I was here last year and the place was packed with mongers, I couldn't believe it when I got here last week, hardly anyone here.

Any particular reason for the slow down?

Great time to be here IMHO.

Just wondering where you hang out? I read your posts with great interest, you seem to "hit the nail on the head" with your observations/thinking. I'd like to get together for a beer.

Let me know if you're interested.

Cheers!

[GoodTimes2]

I wouldnt expect much from AC but a good old time getting laid. There isnt much in the way of fine dining. This is a party place and you cant expect much more then that.

Is there any good italian restaurant?

Something like Saks inside Grande Majestic Hotel in Bangkok.

Is there any good indian restaurant?

Something like Rang Mahal inside Rembrandt Hotel in Bangkok.

I wonder if I am asking too much.

[Cornwall]

Eggsalad,

I have this very trip booked for next month.

I'm flying out of Clark on Tiger Airways (depart 13:15) and arive in Macau at 15:10. Then leaving Macau on Air Asia at 16:40 and arriving in BKK at 18:20.

I hope the connection works!

I booked both of these tickets on line, and as two round tickets (BKK-MFM, where I'm staying a few days, and then MFM-CRK). The BKK-MFM RT on Air Asia was about $155. and the MFM-CRK RT on Tiger was $120.

So, one way, purchased in advance, I imagine you could do it for about $138.

I'm really happy about flying directly into Clark AFB (as opposed to Manila, where I have no desire to be). I'll get picked up by the hotel driver, and be on Fields in no time. Very easy!

Good luck with your plans.
