Boracay was never really a good wg destination, and likely will remain that way
I've had a few trips to Boracay and enjoyed the night scene on several occasions. I've had some worthy encounters there of the three visits, had to work at it. Memorables, the complete dump, Cocomangas Shooters bar, provided a drunken FL MILF gem for 900 php that proved quite entertaining. Another night, I took my hotel security guard up on his offer to get me 18 yo spinner. And sure enough, local girl, new to trade and quite horny was well worth 1500 php. I went out with my dive shop guys, some smaller local bar near Nu Noos, ended up with a okay looker with great see cups. But that's about it. The beach scene seemed to be 40/60% on ladyboys to girlls and quite confusing in dim lights. But the entire Island ordered closed last April. It sill looks like a war zone along all the main "streets". The new rules list is astonishing. No alcohol on the beach, no beach parties, no fire dancers, no smoking on the beach, no single use plastic on the island, no bar setups allowed on the beach side. LaboBarcay is no more. Remains to be seen about wg, I think they'll be all over that if any show up in the old haunts.
Boracay always had some possibilities, not good ones, but that appears over and gone.
This is near comedy. The real possibility of "compulsory access bracelets that tourists must wear on their wrist for the duration of their stay"? "Tourists could also be required to register with an online database. ".
Lmfoa. Can you imagine if this was Pattaya, Angeles City and you stated the true purpose of your visit. ?
More buzz kill: " The reopened island will come with a complete smoking and drinking ban along all of its shoreline. Tourism chiefs say they want the future Boracay to be a "haven of peace" rather than a party island. " Mission accomplished. I'm sure as hell not planning on going back. They've even suspended scuba diving for now.
