General Info

[QUOTE=Dameon]Hello all,

In the initial stages of trip planning. Flying into Bangkok, mid February, spending some time in Thailand, before working my way over to Cambodia, Vietnam, than flying to the Phils. Flying home from Manila.

Would be booking my flight from Saigon to the Phils most likely in Bangkok.

Anyone taken this route and can recommend an airline, travel agency, and give me a ballpark figure what you paid, or any other insights, that would be much appreciated. Not my cherry trip to the Phils, but first time over to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Any must see things in your opinion?

Thanks,

Dameon[/QUOTE]

best one from saigon to phil is Cebu pacific flying out at 1 am. One way ticket costs under $100
From Cambodia, you can take a 5 hour bus trip to saigon, they drop you off at a backpacker area where you'll feel at home
Remember that you'll need visa to enter VN

Thank you for the info! I will probably travel overland from BKK to Saigon, won't head up as far as Hanoi, want to avoid as much back tracking as possible.

Will finally get around to becoming a paid member, will shoot you an PM Transak and take you up on your generous offer of info!

While mongering is certainly high on the list of things to do, also want to see some of the sights, take in the history of the countries. Still planning things, so I am going to do a little research in the Cambodia and Vietnam fourms before posting a request for info, so I don't have one of our cranky brothers posting a RTFF you moron post.

Thank you again!

I know that Cebu has a casino. What other cities in the Philippines have casinos?

The answer is important to me because I sometimes tend to gamble too much so I want to know what cities to avoid. I tend to think of my gambling losses in terms of how much pussy I missed out on.

Thanks!

Last casino question. At American casinos, it is very common to get food, show, or room comps if you gamble at least 4 hours a day. Do Philippine casinos give comps? And would they give pussy comps to larger gamblers!

Davao has casino. And I suppose there is gambling on cockfighting most everywhere, you could include that.

Addicted to pussy and gambling, thats a serious jones. Personally, I like horse racing. They give you a 30 min breather between races, and you know it helps support farms and poor farm workers.

Does it make sense to go the PI for a 2 week vacation?

Total travelling time to and from the PI from the US East coast is 3 days.

This would give me 12 full days in PI. I am trying to get a sense of how the place would be to live.

This is alot of travelling time.

Question to the forum: when people go to the PI, do they usually go for two weeks or longer?

If it was the Aussies then they must have named one of the 7 a Pommie and probably one named a Poodle Faker in there :D

Question to the forum: when people go to the PI, do they usually go for two weeks or longer?[/QUOTE]When you have to go, you have to go. I have gone for three weeks and gone for a week. When the PPD becomes too much, the sun moon and stars line up for time off from work, and airfare is decent it is a good time for a Phils trip.

It makes sense. You don't indicate which country issued your passport, but visitors from many countries, including the U.S., are limited to 21 days unless you pay extra for an extension. You can see a fair amount in two weeks and, depending how quickly your batteries recharge, you can get in a lot of boom-boom in two weeks. In several places you can get a short time session with a decent looking young Pinay for the equivalent of $30 plus or minus. Short time usually implies two or three hours, and in most cases the experience is totally unlike the clock-watching experience back home for which you'd pay upward of $300 and get kicked out promptly at the end of one hour. A long time, meaning over night, with some Pinays leads to multiple pops, often limited more by your own bodily recovery than the willingness of the Pinay partner, and costs maybe $40. So go ahead and do the math. If you were back home and could muster a pop every night and every morning for 12 days, you'd be paying some escort (or escorts) $7200. The same number of pops, if done in 12 Long Time arrangements in the Phils, would cost you $480, and in most cases end up much more GFE than what you're accustomed to with pros back home. So what do you think, could you squeeze your airfare, lodging, and food into the $6720 difference in price?

I go to the Philippines around three times per year, each time my trip lasts for just over 2 weeks and my travelling time is usully two full days. Personally I think the travelling is not worth it and I am sure you will not like the women here. The food is terrible, the heat and pollution is bad and you would never enjoy living here :-)
