Angeles City

I stayed in two different "front" rooms (facing the basketball court) at SC and had no noise problems. In between Swiss Chalet (back side) and Pacific Breeze is a large construction site, so that might affect the back rooms of SC. My PB room faced the construction site, but only occasionally did I hear noise. Bigger problem is opening the curtains and having the construction guys looking into the room.

Ekspat says "opposite", but that would be opposite the back side. Damn, that sounds sexual, but I'm only writing about hotels.....

Anyway, it always makes sense to look at a room before you put your money down. Open the curtains and see what's out there. The biggest noise problems I've had in all my hotel experiences has been noisy neighbors. At least you can expect that most AC hotels won't have children bouncing around.

GUYS, if the head board on your bed is banging the wall as you bang your girl, there is an easy solution. Get out of bed, pull the bed away from the wall, and continue. DUH?

On the other hand, if your lady is a screamer/shouter/loud moaner....that's okay -- please keep up the good work. It inspires the ones who tend to be quiet. I love to sarcastically ask my date, "what's that?". They giggle and say, "I don't know".
I say, "She sounds like she's in trouble, should I go help her?"
She, "Go ahead."
I, "No, I'd rather stay here with you."
From there, if you aren't already inside, check for moisture, insert.

Hey,

I will be in Angeles on May 4rd.

Anyone want to chat at Kokomos with me or to catch me up with the going ons?

[QUOTE=Husky Babalin]In terms of freelancers hanging next to any of these pools, this doesn't happen as any bargirls need to be staying there or are friends with someone who is. Some guys occassionally barfine large groups of girls for a pool party and if you were patient enough you might score one of them after he has taken a few back to his room - but don't hold your breath!

Good Report, Although I must say on quiet days that Wild Orchid does allow some Santos St Girls some R&R unescorted.[/QUOTE]The Wild Orchid allows Santos St girls?? Ok I will have to ask the owner about this because it's news to me. Perhaps if a girl is well known to management and is friends with someone working there then it's possible she might be allowed to swim there. This would hardly classify as 'freelancers' which is what the original poster was asking about and I highly doubt that these girls would be permitted to solicit business from hotel guests while they are enjoying their 'R&R' as you put it.

Also, I would be interested to know when the Wild Orchid had its last "quiet day" as it always operates at very high occupancy rates and the months of October through March are the busiest period of tourism for AC.

[QUOTE=Jimbo 69]I will be visiting in may (13-18). I hope to share some down time with some fellow westerners. Let me know if you will be in the area, as I am a first timer and could use some assistance with the scene.

A couple questions. Regarding money. Trying to figure how much to bring. Is it safe to use credit card at the hotel for the room? I am staying at the pacific breeze. Should I exchange money or do many of the places take US Dollars?

Thanks[/QUOTE]Pacific Breeze and Central Park list their prices in $US so you could bring at least enough cash to cover the price of your room (and you won't lose out if the Peso appreciates while you are there). I never use credit cards in AC and only use an ATM on rare occasions. By all means, use an ATM if you are nervous about carrying cash, but I always keep my cash very secure whilst I'm travelling and have never had any problems over many years living in Asia. If you get robbed at gunpoint, you will lose everything anyway (which is extremely unlikely if you use safer options for transport).

Regarding how much to bring, if your room is $48 then you should have at least $100US per day for spending money. Of course you might spend more or less than that, but I think you can have a lot of fun for $100 in AC (and if you want to spend much more than that, you might prefer to stay in Manila and get a higher class of bargirl/KTV girl). You will need Peso's for day-to-day spending for most purchases and there are many places you can use to do that. The hotels give the worst rates and Normas money changer is one of the best. Good luck.

Care to share your "stashing" methods? I am planning a trip and want to cover all the logistical aspects of a trip to AC.

I would appreciate the info....

TIA

[QUOTE=Concarne]I would appreciate the info.

TIA[/QUOTE]It's at the corner of Teodoro and Oak street. Walk down Fields to Mr. Frosty and go down the street away from the base and it's on the left-hand side.

I just use the changer by JJ's because the rates are practically the same. Nowadays I send a bar-boy or a waitress to do it for me, from my home bar of course. I would not do it in a place I don't trust.

Here is a link to Wayne's AC Map, he finally updated the small maps but the full view maps are out of date. All the maps are still good for reference though.

"if your room is $48 then you should have at least $100US per day for spending money." Whoa! That's spending cash for Miami, Paris & Perth!

May i request submissions on daily expenses in Angeles specifically-moto/trike, barfine, bar beer, girl beer, BJ, ST, LT and tipping? (Better dining costs vary, and i can find that info in a guidebook.) And am i right: it seems some places barfines include ST/FT?

I hear many understandable complaints about newbies spending too much-
well, help keep it down right now!

I only ask this as I've been reading the threads for my own estimates, and I can't find recent specifics.

Thanks guys!

Gentlemen

I will be in AC from April 16 to the 23. Anyone wanna get together and chat, let me know...

if you must carry large amounts of currency, jock it or sock it, i always say. try to bring crisp clean large denomination bills. never keep your stash in your wallet or fannypack, those are for pocket money. make good use of the hotel safety deposit box or a room safe. most of the moneychangers have competitive rates.

does not sound like a smart thing to do. putting your trust in a bar employee is fine but shit does happen. i guess your too busy having fun to worry about such things.:cool:


[b]to mountain peep:[/b]
one hundred dollars per day is a good reference point as correspondent mentions. you do not have to spend $48 on accommodations as there are plenty of places for less than $30. it really all depends on what kind of party animal you are. but better to bring too much money than not enough.

[quote=mountain peep]"if your room is $48 then you should have at least $100us per day for spending money." whoa! that's spending cash for miami, paris & perth! [/quote]
you won't even get a room for 100$ in paris. at least not a decent one.
with 100$ (75euro) paris is really no fun at all.

if room costs of 48$ in ac are included in 100$, then with remaining 52$ it's sort of tight budget. nearly 2,500ps a day.
st in afternoon and later bf (one only), some beer and 1-2 ladydrinks and it's gone. no lunch and dinner yet.
with 100$ cash a day it will be a nice party. no doubt.

Was in AC a couple of weeks back.

I found that ATMs with + network did not work. The ATM for these were out of action at the Clarkton Mall and in the banks close to Fields. Probably temporary. For the two weeks I was there. Or might have been my card, but beware. The Cirrus network was ok. So take a couple of ATM cards one for each network. The money changers gave good rates. So take as much cash stashed on you as you can feel safe with and keep it in the room safe. I only used credit card for the hotel.

My budget ran to:

350p for breakfast and Dinner. (Aussie or American Breakfasts at Mo's and a big evening meal at Swiss Chalet). Including tips and a drink at dinner. The breakfast was so huge that I only needed a San Miguel Sandwich for lunch.

Beers were about 80-95 P at most bars in Fields.
Lady Drinks, budget about 140.
Most barfines were around 1200 P
Therefore to barfine a gel, give her a meal, a tip of up to 300 P and a couple of lady drinks - say 2100 P....not a bad deal for an all-nighter. :)

Most of the bars have fifteen to twenty ladies in bikinis on a raised stage, in most bars, they sort of shuffle around. Avoid the immediate press to get you to buy a drink, pick out one you like, and give her a look. If she is interested, you will know. If not, don't push it, because you will just spend $ on a drink and she will tell you she is on her period. So do wait for the return eye contact before you call her up for a lady drink.

Some of the ladies will even then not go with you. First night. I found twice though, that if I was gracious about it, and came around the next night, her period had stopped. LOL! (I figure it is something of a little test they gave me).

I tried to learn a few tagalog words on the plane over from a Lonely Planet book. I think it was worth while.

First of all, I looked like a newb. Or at least they picked me for one. In those bars that I did not use any of my few tagalog words, they really hounded me for lady drinks. But when I entered the bar, used a couple of words of Tagalog to the waitress when she asked if I wanted a drink, the harassers let me alone.

Some bars like Roadhouse and Agasaya (Sp? ) had choreographed shows where the girls did more than just shuffle. They actually danced. (In Agasaya, though there were shufflers, dancers and models who just pranced). Agasaya also seemed to have a Korean bias. Although I had no problem and did bf one lady there. She was the most expensive (since there is a slight premium for dancers) and the one who left earliest (after three hours).

I stayed in Fields and so did not have to worry about trike fares or jeepneys. It was also walkable to the perimeter bars and to the Mall. (Tho I am not sure how safe the walk to the perimeter bars would be at night).

Perimeter bars were all cheaper than the above. But a little less classy. I think the girls overall were slightly less quality, BUT you would never have a problem in finding your '10', so give them both a try.

I also found it profitable to alternate my beers with a non alco drink. It meant that I did not end up with beer goggles on and was able to check out many more bars before I succumbed to temptation. In all cases I ended up with a 10 for the night because I was sober enough to avoid the 8-9s who would have snagged me had I had a couple more beers. Finally, being more or less sober, I was able to judge the body language and pick out those that looked like they would give gfe.

(Given that I am over fifty, balding and overweight a little, you can imagine how good a twenty year old gfe 10 feels). ) It must have been my 'Peso'nality.

Also from a practical point of view, there are some 7/11 stores and pharmacies. So you do not need to worry about packing much. If you forget anything you will be able to buy it there. Laundry was about 25-30p per piece in the hotel, and about 35p per load if you bundled it up and took it to one of the nearby laundries.

I think next time, what I might do is repeat the process above, but when I have narrowed down the best of the '10' gfe ladies, perhaps take them for a week to somewhere else, and see if I can get a 'hme' (Honey Moon Experience). Without the marriage of course. ; )

One final thing that worked for me. Albeit by chance.

I had barfined a lady from Rhapsody. Looked a little spanish rather than typical pinay. She treated me very well over several nights, I did tip her 300p each time for sterling service. However as I was leaving, I thought to spend some $ on her. So after the barfine, instead of the usual, off to the hotel for a quickie before taking her to dinner, I went with her to one of the little dress shops, bought her a nice dress, some shoes and some fake sunglasses. She was a 10 before, in body and attitude, but with the nice togs she looked $1million. As we were walking back to the hotel, guys were twisting their necks, and you could see she felt like a $1million. I tell you, I got paid back for that dress big time in the hotel. I was so so sore and exhausted on the plane next day. I never thought I physically could do it ever again.

Overall, I had a blast for 3500P per day plus hotel cost.

barfines are between p1000 and p1300. all the fields ave bars are 1200-1300. lds are around 150 for f.av, beers are p85. this adds up quickly and a bellring is $100us+ (and ive seen some guys ring a bell several times in one night). girls seem to expect a tip for a good all-night service, but of course that's up to you. dont listen to anyone tell you that there is a norm for tipping. newbies often tip way too much if they liked a girl eg. a p1000 tip. this would be an example of complaints you have heard of.

only a couple of bars on perimeter offer st barfines and they are around p700. hardly worth it as you can take a girl lt for p1000. if you are in a hurry, have two rounds and then send the girl on her way. you get what you want and the girl will be happy to have the rest of the night free (unless she was madly in love with you, haha!).

yes you can spend a lot on dinner, there are several decent restaurants on fields and a few past checkpoint. of course there are many more than in these two locations but they aren't walking distance. trikes fleece the crap out of tourists (and even bargirls). p50 for any small distance and p70 for longer rides. if the trike driver thinks he can get more, then he will ask for more. try not to get angry as it will also end in a bad result for you. the best thing to do is hand him the money (which you know is correct) say thankyou, then walk away.

Hey Dude,

Thanks for the great post. The information was very helpful for someone who hopes to visit the city.

Have you heard much of the hotel Swiss Chalet? How are they with guests?

Hi Ronin,

Did not stay at the hotel Swiss Chalet, but did eat in their restaurant. So looks ok from the ground floor at least., and the photos of the rooms looked ok.

I have tried to get in there in the past, but it has always been booked out. I would be stunned if there was any problem with girls in the room (although you should ask them if you planned to have more than one or two at a time).

It is quite central to the Fields action, so location wise you would have no problem as long as you can get in.

Hotel Royal Amsterdam might be an alternative if you cannot get Swiss Chalet.
