[QUOTE=Shemp;2969032]Guess I will just do the reverse when gettin back to the airport for the next leg of my journey to BKK.[/QUOTE]Avoid that trek. Go from Clark to BKK via Cebu Pacific.
I don't like the 7:25 pm departure time though. If you go to Pattaya, not sure if the bus is running that late. Just bite the bullet and pay the 1000 baht private taxi fare that goes directly to your Pattaya hotel.
[QUOTE=Goferring;2967250]I'm just wondering, why the preference for returning to the airport for Genesis over catching Victory in town? Traffic around NAIA can suck bigtime. Were you already staying close to the airport or do you prefer the SM Clark drop off vs Dau?
[/QUOTE]My thoughts exactly, and since CL was already in Ermita, why not take that Grab to Avenida (10 minute ride) and catch the 11 am (fare: p177) Rabbit Bus to AC which will stop at McDo's on Fields if you ask the conductor to do so.
[QUOTE=Shemp;2969032]Thanks to you & WC1 for the info on gettin to AC. I'll be hoppin the bus on Bay 13. Guess I will just do the reverse when gettin back to the airport for the next leg of my journey to BKK.[/QUOTE]Side note.
To enter all PH airports you will need to show ticket reservations in your name and ID. This is to just get into the airport terminal building. Screen shot of reservation will do with actual ID.
Printed boarding pass will also do.

Just a cautious word to the PH newbie.

Genesis bus stops first at T3, then T2 and finally T1. Could be 30 extra minutes from T3 to T1. Ask the conductor of the descending order.
Hey all, I'm from the USA I haven't gone trans-pacific yet as my sole previous mongering trip was to sao paolo, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina. (if anyone is heading to those areas ID be happy to provide general info / contacts as well). Looking to expand with a trip to SEA, still a few months out but trying to get some good leads.
I'm not rly into super young girls or anything, age isn't rly a big deal but looking for girls who will swallow my load without making a fuss. I've also enjoyed giving golden showers in the past, as well as a bit of submissive stuff.
I'd appreciate leads if anyone has had these experiences in and around angeles city, if anyone is willing to share.
Would also be happy to meetup with anyone in the area.
Cheers!

The good, bad and ugly.

I've already bought a ticket on Thai Air leaving MNL on a Tuesday at 1:10 pm. Don't know what terminal it leaves from, my trip is more than a month away. Anyway, if it leaves from T3 with this 1:10 pm departure time what time should I board the Genesis bus in AC Tuesday morning to safely get me there in plenty of time to make my flight?

Cheers![/QUOTE]Why not go to Thailand instead? Walk into any of the well known BJ bars or MPs and you will 100% get the swallow. GS will also be possible in places known for PSE like Tulip. Plus girls are prettier and there are a lot more of them. Cost is about the same anyway and there is other things like culture, great food and beaches in Thailand. If you are flying all the way from the US, don't go some third world shit hole which is long long past its hey day.

Genesis buses leave SM Mall, 6:30 am, 7:30 am, 8:30 am and 9:00 am for your purpose. The bus ride can be anywhere from 90 minutes to 3 hours depending on the traffic and day of the week. Sundays being the less traffic day.
The morning buses tend to be more full. Sometimes maxed out. I suggest you are there at least 30 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time. The Thai plane is a big bird and probably a long check in line. Some times it can take 30-45 minutes to get through the T3 passport control and security.
With all that said, I suggest the 7:30 am bus in case it is full you can catch the 8:30 am bus and not stress out over it. BTW, there might be a man there manning the kiosk and if it is crowded he will take down names on the reservation list. The thin baldheaded man will do this. The other guys are worthless.
If you find yourself in T3 early after checking in and before passport control you can take the escalator up to the 4th floor for plenty of restaurants. BTW, a little opposite of Kenny Rogers is a foot / body massage place, a great way to kill some time.
Safe travels.

1) Departure NAIA 1:10 pm, arrive NAIA 10:10 am.
2) Depart SM Clark on the 8 am bus for the 2-hour trip, to arrive about 10 am NAIA.
3) Some might say that weekday traffic can be bad in Manila, so depart SM Clark an hour earlier on the 7 am bus to be safe. Arriving late for any reason and you're effed.

I have zero faith in PH transport so I would be there for the early bus. Especially a newbie who is more likely to have a SNAFU and miss a bus, get off at the wrong terminal or the other 1000 things that can and do go wrong in the Phil's.

Cheers![/QUOTE]If you don't mind spending 100 $ or more for some mediocre action after searching 5 or 10 bars, spending big Peso on ladydrinks and waking up next mornong alone in a shithole: go to AC.
If you wish simple fun, girls which are not prude but do all you want, be it swallow or a golden shower, easy to find not only in the bars but also on Thaifriendly or the many beer bars or even at the beach road: go to Pattaya.
Not to forget the better food, easy transport, modern hotels and and and.
And if you have the time: do a side trip to Jakarta: the massage parlors there are a not-to-miss for every Asian monger.
[QUOTE=Goferring;2969797]I have zero faith in PH transport so I would be there for the early bus. Especially a newbie who is more likely to SNIP[/QUOTE]Not everyone would agree with this, but I do. Long gone are my days of arriving at (any) airport 45 minutes prior to departure, racing thru to the security line with my online boarding pass and just a backpack, hoping I didn't miss a flight (I did). I always go to Manila the night before any flight out of NAIA, and I try to plan my departure flights on weekends, specifically Sundays. Previously Saturdays and Sundays, the traffic was light. But since the covid re-opening, Saturday traffic can be just as crappy as Monday-Friday.
[QUOTE=Goferring;2969797]Especially a newbie who is more likely to have a SNAFU and miss a bus, get off at the wrong terminal or the other 1000 things that can and do go wrong in the Phil's.[/QUOTE]Newb or not, any number of traffic-related items can stop a caravan in its tracks in Phils. Not only in Manila, but anywhere. Traffic is light, but a particular surface street is torn up due to construction (for months on end), another street in the area is flooded, and yet another street has a large lorry or delivery truck that tried to make a left turn but couldn't make it, can not back up (or tried to), and is completely blocking all lanes of traffic. A dozen ways to find a traffic cluster-f*ck just driving around Phils. Your bus (or private taxi) is not immune.
I think it was last year, about June / July, that a number of us here reported that due to a tropical storm over more than a week, an ongoing flood happened across the expressway, causing 8-9-10 hour drives from AC to Manila for an entire week. See pic. At the time, the normal 10 minute ride from my hotel near WS to the freeway took an hour (blue line), the normal 35-45 minute ride from the AC freeway entrance to San Fernando (red line) took about 6 hours (highway parking lot), and just past SF on the freeway we finally hit the flooded area. Traffic had slowed at the flooded area to just a few KM / H, gumming up the southbound traffic to the north behind us all the way past AC. The water was flowing across the highway at a 90 degree angle, moving slowly, and it was only about 30 meters to go thru. After that, we all accelerated to highway speed, and the rest of the trip to Makati (green line) took less than an hour. I was in a private taxi. The driver had to drop me at my hotel, then head to NAIA to pick up a waiting passenger to take him back to AC.
One never knows.
