Angeles City

Some questions: If I'm going to Angeles for the first time and alone, which way should I go from the Manila airport? Get a taxi or by bus? Around how much should I expect to pay so I don't get ripped off?

Do I need to reserve a hotel room ahead of time, or can I do a walk-in check in? Which hotel is decent but kinda close to fields?

Thanks

The fact is that if a Filipina is giving you a “freebie” she is holding out for the jackpot. This is typical female behavior everywhere. Yes, we all want to believe that they fuck us because we are handsome men. Whether we are young dumb and full of cum, or old doting and senile is beside the point. They always fuck us because there is something in it for them. That is the bottom line.[/QUOTE]
I agree, and sometimes "what's in it for them" is a good romping! These girls are pretty horny and their wet pussies indicate that.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Depending on your ability to negotiate with taxi drivers, it can cost between 2, 100 to 3, 000 pesos (40 to 60 American dollars). Many here reccomend going to "Arrivals" at the Airport to get a taxi that is just dropping someone off as you can get it cheaper.

Many Hotels in Angeles have a pick-up service for 2, 500 pesos or so, which seems to me to be the way to go as the monetary difference is so small. There is also Swagman's "Fly The Bus" that will take you from the Swagman Hotel in Manilla to the Swagman in Angeles for 600 peso, but it really only runs during the day and early evening. I know a lot of flights come into manilla at night, at least from America, so that may not be an option for you. If you can get there during the day, that would be the cheapest choice.

Just google it.

You can take Philipino public transport as well, but I would not advise a first timer to do that. Asiana Airlines flies directly into Clark, and many smaller planes and airliners fly into Clark from other major Asian cities, so perhaps if you can creatively book you won't have to worry about it. If you do get into Clark, it will cost you 300 Pesos to get to your destination. (Old Clark AFB is right next to Angeles.)

I would pre-book your hotel, especially if you want to be right downtown. I stayed at the Swiss Chalet for $35 a night but had to pre-book about two months ahead. I can tell you that the Swiss Chalet is fairly good, it's right in the heart of the action, but it is the only Hotel in Angeles that I have ever stayed at, so a more experienced monger among us may be able to help you there. Also review the Angeles City Hotel Thread to answer some more questions.

Good luck and you're making the right choice, my first time was last year and I'm dying to go again.

Guys,

If you ever want to send a cute little LBFM "over the top", here is my advice. You know those Listerine breath strips? The green ones that are kind of like the old LSD tabs. I think they are wintergreen flavored. When you put one in your mouth it kind of blows your mind.

Anyway, go down on the sweet your thing for a couple of minutes and after you have her all wet and worked up. Pop a Listerine breath strip right on that sweet little clit. Work it in for 30 seconds and then start blowing on her clit. If that does not drive her instantly to an orgasm, or just out of her mind. Well, then, you are not doing something right!

Take a pack with you the next time you take out a bar girl. She will thank you for it.

If you survived Pattaya, then you will have no problem with Angeles. Despite its better press, you are statistically much more likely to be set up, drugged, mugged, murdered or assaulted in Pats than in AC.

But what intrigues me is, if you are ‘God’s gift to women’ like you imply and can get freebies, even from bargirls, why you need to go to either. Surely a DIA/Tagged trawl before you left home, either in the LOS or Philippines section, would result in a long queue of potentials just aching to jump into bed with you.

If I was a young buck again (rather than an ‘old fart’:D), I would steer well clear of p4p destinations such as Angeles and maybe even Pattaya.

Also freebies are harder to find in Angeles as you pay a combination BF/girls tip upfront.

In Ermita part of Manila, there are two hotels which run buses to AC. Swagman and Southern Cross:

But if you want to go direct from the airport, bargain with your taxi driver. I suspect 2,500 pesos ($50) should be about right. X

[QUOTE=Cunning Stunt]Despite its better press, you are statistically much more likely to be set up, drugged, mugged, murdered or assaulted in Pats than in AC.[/QUOTE]Well, there is more total crime in Pattaya, but then it's a far, far bigger scene than AC. Proportionally I suspect AC is just as dangerous (or as safe), but in different ways. Basically, more petty scams in Pattaya, more violent crime in AC. So for example walking down a dark street at night is something you can usually get away with in Pattaya, but you really don't want to do it in AC. And Thailand actually has an effective tourist police, while of course the police are the last people you want to get involved with in the Philippines.

Compared to a lot of mongering destinations, like just about anywhere in Latin America, they're both a walk in the park.

I can get it easily enough back home, but it does take a lot more effort. You could easily treat a girl to dinner, movie, etc and leave empty handed at the end of the night.

I wasn't aware that Pats was more unsafe than AC. Never once did I feel threatened while there. As another poster mentioned, there were instances where someone might try to scam you for a little bit of money, but as long as you were smart about it, it was easily avoidable. I am most concerned with situations where your safety is a concern or where you stand to lose a larger sum of money (hundreds), which would be similar to my experience mongering in China. So it is pretty safe in AC as long as you avoid dark alleys, etc? I plan on hopefully making some friends while there, so that I won't have to navigate alone.

1) I have heard of Angeles City as a good place for mongering, comparable to Thailand, 2) I find Phillipino girls very attractive, 3) I heard that they speak better English, which is a huge plus to me. However, I have been slightly deterred due to reading about potential problems regarding safety, violence, corrupt police setting up tourists, theft, etc. Are these things avoidable if the proper common sense precautions are taken? I guess what I am wondering is whether these things are considered outlier events, or whether they are considered the norm in Angeles City.

Thanks!

1. Actually way better than Thailand. Cheaper, better GFE.
2. Me too. Some Spanish blood in the genes. Some PI girls have slightly more chiseled features than the Thais. On average I also found them hornier.
3. You hit the nail on the head here. Better English contributes to better GFE.

I too was a little deterred like yourself for the first time due to safety. The fact that you even mention it, suggest that you are the cautious sort to not flash an expensive watch or pick a fight with a local. You will be fine.

Yah, I read Patty Boys report and can concur that I had the same freebies in Pat, Bkk, and Phuket when I was the same age. But I soon realized that it was dirty *****s that I was getting for free, not the cream of the crop.

If you got game there's really no need to spend lots of time in Angeles or Pattaya.

Definitely think the safety issue of Angeles is blown out of proportion. If you stay around Fields walking around till very late is no problem if you set the caution level to low-medium, because there are always lots of people on the main street till morning.

If you stay Perimeter, ride the trike at night, not advisable to walk all the way to Fields when dark.

Don't let the armed guard at 24 hours fast food like Mc, Chow King, Jollibee scare you. They are keeping the area very safe.

[QUOTE=Amjeck]If you got game there's really no need to spend lots of time in Angeles or Pattaya.[/QUOTE]Maybe no need, but why not? They both offer great fun, pure and simple.

All hotels in AC offer pick-up from Manila airport. I usually stay at the Lewis Grande, and they charge 3000 PHP. It's the best, safest and fastest way.

Don't try the walk-in thing. At least, book for the first two or three nights. But you don't want to end up with no room when you arrive. I experienced that all (good) hotels were fully booked, even two or three weeks ahead, when there is peak time.

I stayed at the Clarkton before (nice, good with own bar and girls, but a bit outside), or more recently at the Lewis Grande. This is still enough close to Fields (you might even walk) and is a bit more quiet than directly in the middle of all the action. Both hotels are a bit more expensive than others, but also offer good quality. For the Clarkton, the best is to call them (email sometimes gets "lost"). For the Lewis Grande, you may book via their website, which is very convenient ([url]http://www.lewisgrand.com/[/url])

I arrive in Manila 12:25 am Feb 12 and plan to do one of the shuttles if anyone else happens to be arriving at or about same time. No reservations yet as have not yet decided on hotel but the 2-3 others I've looked at all have the pickup service available from Manila airport.

True but when something bad happens in Angeles, we all hear about it here, such as the recent beating up of a foreign tourist. So we all know that its a comparatively rare event. But in Pattaya, it is so common and more or less a daily event that it is not really big news.

Last time that I was in Pattaya, I saw two fights between locals and tourists, one in which two bargirls beat the crap out of a drunk tourist. And I was only there 4 nights! Druggings are again on the increase and mysterious deaths are common. Its a dangerous place for the unwary.

Much more disturbingly, I found out yesterday that an acquaintance of mine has died in Pattaya. Brits who stay at or drink at the Lord Nelson on Soi 6 will probably know the co-owner 'Geordie' John Garbutt. He was found dead, Wednesday afternoon in his apartment with a serious head wound. Police are investigating.
