Maybe they are flying with only one engine to save jet fuel to fly longer, that is why they call themself low cost airline.

LCC don't equate to low safety carriers.
Just been hit by 3 different girls sending sms with kidney complaints all asking for 3000 peso for the doctors examination (or treatment)! does any one know of a site out there where the girls go for these stories? Has any one else been hit today also.
Is it possible to open up a bank account in the Philliphines if you are a resident of USA?
If so what is required to set up a bank account?

Fairly common for pinay to use this type of excuse. Based on the number of women who blatantly ask strangers for $, filipinas are the sickest group of people on earth. Related request: father has cancer, mom's in the hospital, and so on. About every 4th girl I chat with from DIA makes a medical request at some point. You think they'd be the healthiest people on earth, as often as they go to the doctor.

Doctor examinations in Phi is very cheap even if it is true. Only hospital procedure operation costs motre money but still cheap. Phi people cannot afford big medical expenses. However I do not think anybody is denied care for lack of funds.
These girls are pros in inflating the price. Some girls are nice. I had a GF from Leyte who took the bus to manila first time. The cost was around 800 pesos. But another girl in DIA wanted 3000 pesos to take a bus. When confronted she said she nededs to buy clothes etc for the trip. Maybe true , who knows? Some girls are dirt poor and do not have basis decent clothes.

Yes
Look back a few pages and there is some interesting discussions on the merits or otherwise of doing this...and some discussion on which banks are best
Of course you may need to disclose it to the USA IRS....not being a US citizen I would not be sure but my US mates seem to have tell your government everything ;)

You need to declare any foreign accounts containing USD $10,000 or greater.

A 330. No way it is a A320.

I'm German living in Malaysia and have an account with HSBC in Manila.
So it should be possible for an American as well I guess.
Cheers!
[QUOTE=Hookup09]Is it possible to open up a bank account in the Philliphines if you are a resident of USA?

However “Big Brother” wants to make sure he's getting his share, so foreign financial accounts must be reported yearly if the [u]aggregate[/u] value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year.

[QUOTE=Mr Enternational]To me Pattaya is the number 1 spot on the planet. You will never run out of things to do there or places to go, even outside of mongering. In Manila or AC you will see guys talking about the same few places that you can count on one hand. You will never hear them talk about how they did things in those two places that did not pertain to mongering. The only pictures I can show people of when I was in Manila or AC are of the trike or me and my wingmen eating in a Chinese restaurant. I have hundreds of BKK/Pattaya pictures outside of mongering related activities.
You mentioned you didn't want mechanical but a lot of that depends on chemistry. That is why I like to shop for my hookers in the FL/Disco department instead of buying off the rack from a bar or fishbowl lineup.
It seems like the girls in the bars are under too much pressure so they tell you whatever you want to hear to get you to buy the drinks or to take them with you. Not only will you get the mechanical, runners, but you are also under time constraints because they have to be back at work at a certain time. FL are just in the disco having a good time. They are not under as much pressure and are not hounding you because there is no mamasan breathing down their necks to separate you from your money.
As far as those places go my rating would be:
1) Pattaya, 2) BKK, 3) AC, 4) Manila.
If you have never been to either then you should definitely visit the pair in each respective country, spending the least amount of time in the capitals. Hell, after all you gotta go through BKK to get to Pattaya and unless you are flying into Clark you gotta go through Manila to get to AC.[/QUOTE]
Nice input form experienced mongers. How about in the looks department? Who thinks Thai chicks are prettier (face) than Pinays? How about the bodies? I have been to Thailand a few times but never to PI but planning one soon. Based on what I am seeing in photographs, to me, Thai girls seem to have prettier faces (highly subjective?) but Pinays seems to have better bodies. Too much generalization may be but would love hear comments form folks who have been to both places.

Thai girls = PSE
Filipinas = GFE
