[QUOTE=FurryFriend;1133193]Have anyone threatened a runner that you'd go back to the bar to complain? What happened and did the girl comply?[/QUOTE]All the time and runners almost never comply willingly.
[QUOTE=X Man; 1134398]I finally made the Pinatubo tour.
Just before we went off road we stopped to register and I paid 2, 500. [/QUOTE]Where did you arrange the tour. The quote I got was much higher than that.
[quote=patty boy;1134360]also, i was wondering if there are any experienced mongers here that are kind enough to to take me under their wing maybe for a night to get me up to speed with a few things here? i am planning to be here april 2 to april 22, and potentially extend my stay if i really enjoy it (otherwise it's off to pattaya). i am an asian american in my late 20s, if that matters.[/quote]paty boy,
i'm in ac 4/8 thru 4/18. happy to buy you a beer and compare notes with you on my thai trips, too.

My friend made the arrangement at Kokomos. I think you'll need at least three people to get this price. There seem to be different companies doing this, so you might leave your name with a couple travel service providers to up the chances of finding a group tour.
Josie at Kokomos hotel / travel office would be the best person to talk to. X.

I was at Atlantis last week with a friend, gave a few lady drinks to 2 girls when my friend decided to BF one of them. She was a promise of fun. However upon paying our bill she changed colour and kept telling me to give tips to her and her friends, and demanded this and that which pissed me off. However, we went bar hopping and I BF my previous BF from Crystal Palace. My friend BF continued to demand, and while at Crystal Palace she asked the waitresses to order 2 bowls of prawn soup, various other food and treat the several bar girls there. It really made me wonder where we went wrong. I realized she took us for granted and took advantage of us because we were trying to be nice and friendly, and hoping they reciprocate. Then, we went back to the hotel and in the cab she was talking in tagalog to my girl. She seem to give pointers to my BF as that girl was new.
She was also hinting for gifts. Then, I had enough and told her off. I just told her we just wanted good time in AC that was why we behave stupid and we were not stupid people, and from then on I would treat her like my worker and she can get scolded if she was not careful. I told her I had hundred of people working for me from young to old and I had no problem handling difficult worker, and she would be no exception. Surprisingly she became better and was respectful until she left. She was even very polite and thank me before she went home. All along my own BF was ok and never a problem until she went home the next day. Thus, some girls need to shaken up while others are naturally nice in Philippines.
[QUOTE=Mr Enternational;1134368]Why the need to be careful walking past the bar? Once services are performed and the worker is paid the business is complete and each party is free to move on as they wish.[/QUOTE]As you said. As they wish. If she doesn't wish, then she can make things uncomfortable for you (or you and your date) as you walk by. Not really an issue for me anymore, but something to to consider for those whom this kind of thing will bother.
If you have a lot of time, I can strongly recommend to go visit the rice paddies in Banaue.

[/QUOTE]I think they were taking advantage of you because they saw you as "weak". Taking a pro barhopping and buying shit for her is a display of "weakness". They'll walk all over you!
For best results, pay barfine and go straight to room and fuck. Only after (if you really feel the need) , should you ever bar hop or decide to buy anything for the pro. Always get your pussy first!

My friend BF continued to demand, and while at Crystal Palace she asked the waitresses to order 2 bowls of prawn soup, various other food and treat the several bar girls there. It really made me wonder where we went wrong.[/QUOTE]IMHO you went wrong in 2 places. 1) You sat there and bought all of those lady drinks. 2) You did not nip that shit in the bud in the beginning.
Since I am not much of a drinker, when I go into a bar I am only looking for women. I make that clear when they start asking me if I want a drink. I am not trying to line the pockets of the bar owner or the girls who work there. After you bought all of those drinks for them you in essence had spoiled them. It really only takes 2 minutes to decide if you want to take a particular girl with you. After that you should go to your hotel, not bar hopping. When you go to other places you are saying,"We are on a date and everything is on me." Did you expect the girls would just want to sit and watch you guys? No, they are going to want shit. It is no telling how long they had been in that bar and they probably had not eaten anything. A better plan would have been to go to 7/11 and buy some drinks and snacks and go to 1 person's room, put on some music and relax there until you were ready to go to your own room. There is no reason to buy lady drinks. The higher chance of her getting barfined should be reason enough for her to sit her ass down and shut up while you are enjoying your delicious beverage. You should not have to bribe her to stay next to you by buying drinks.
Also you have to let the girls know you mean business from the beginning. If I barfined a girl and she started talking about me giving tips to her friends I would have told her that I was with her, not them and if she think they needed tips then she should give it to them herself. If she wanted to have a bad attitude after that then I would have gotten my money back. I was in a bar in Pattaya last month and the girl sitting with me started asking about me buying her a drink. I asked her what she liked to drink (not that I was buying anything for her) and she immediately shouted to the bartender. I said you probably like Singha beer huh? She said, "Oh. I already ordered." Soon there was a fresh Jack & Coke (probably the most expensive thing on the menu) on the table that she was sipping from. When they put the ticket in my cup I said wait a minute. I did not ask for this. They had no choice but to take it out of my cup. (I control my own tab and only pay for what I have personally ordered, not everything that some chick tells the waitress to bring to the table.) The girl then said that she would pay for it. I don't play those games.
You guys are going over to monger. You are supposed to be the king. Stop being wimps in the eyes of two-bit hookers. You can play that role when you are back home with the local women. You are supposed to be the producer and director of your own program.
Just retured from AC and had a great time with group of guys and the girls. Some randon thoughts from my experiences over the last 2 years.
If you think the girl is what you are looking for get her out of the bar if drinking is part of your plan. The drinks are cheaper out of her bar.
If she gives you attitude take her back. One of our guys took a green tag from Atlantis. Fun in the bar. At the hotel it was I don't do this and that. Took her back and got his money back. If no sex of anykind should get the money back.
Stay away from green tags. To many white tags that are cute to mess with prima donnas. Even the ones I know personaly I don't see as much fun outside their place of employment.
Treat them right but you be the one in charge. If they don't like it return them.
Remember sometimes it won't work for you. Chalk it up to experience and move forward. Just as all the girls don't appeal to you, some of us don't appeal to them. Even if they accept the BF make sure you have senced they like you.
My group has had no runners in 2 years although things havn't always been working correctly. Ask questions first before pulling the trigger. This is your rresponsibility.
[QUOTE=Mr Enternational; 1134389]I arrived in Pasay at 3:33am. (I actually got off at the stop before the one I was supposed to. I remembered the Five Star garage from the time before and got off there. Just so happened there is actually 2 of them. The one I was supposed to get off at was actually another 10 minutes down the road.
[/QUOTE]That would be confusing as I Didn't know 5 Star had 2 stops in Pasay, always thought all bus companies had only 1 terminal in Pasay?

[QUOTE=Wadman; 1133909]1) Good-great performance 1000 p.
2) ST tip 0-200-500.
3) The girls talk of course. So if a girl did good, and you gave her a lousy tip or no tip, the girls from that bar may not be so keen to go with you in the future. [/QUOTE]Your tip scales are on the high side. Please guys, remember this is AC where we come here for ladies but most importantly, the low cost. If we needed to pay higher tips and cost, I'll stay in Manila where the ladies on average are higher quality but cums at a higher cost (like tips).
1) 1000p?-that's equal to some BF at a Perimeter bar. LT even for a very good provider, I top out at no more than 300-400 max. (400p if I feel in love with her overnite)
2) ST= only need to give trike money (100p max) , if ST was done at the bar itself (say Santos) then no tips needed. Maybe a LD at the bar at most.
3) Not really true, never had a problem taking out another lady from same bar and having a good time despite only giving trike money (100p) to last nites performer from same bar. Remember, most don't expect a tip for their nite with you, only the spoiled ones expect or demand a tip. Most are happy to get only trike money from you. So bottom line: they are more than happy if you only treat them with some respect and trike money home.
Note: I'm not an expat here but this is what some EXPATS living in AC for several year had told me recently and they will be the 1st ones to correct you if they feel you overtip the ladies as some feel this will inflate prices for them and they live here so have to feel the rising cost everyday unlike us who f*cks them and leave for home-IMHO.
Also, many experience mongers and expats have put in their 2 cents on tipping so just need to read some post from maybe several months ago.

I agree with Freezone. One thousand peso tip should only be for those once in a lifetime shags.
Recently, I tipped 600 for an excellent time including GFE. Since then she's eagerly and passionately visited my room twice before her work started. Money well spent!

I recently stayed one night at Edelweiss Hotel. The hotel is low standard, without pool, but quiet in a side street (standard room 900 P). The next day I went into the province (La Union) and returned one week later.
When I left I forgot my pullover and jacket in the hotel. I'm 100% sure that I put them on the hanger in the room and forgot them when I packed, and it was the only hotel I stayed.
When I asked if they had found my clothes, the receptionist on the first day said they put every lost and found to a certain room, but when she showed me the room, it was totally empty. Very suspicious. But I should come back the next day. The receptionist on the second day said straight away, that nothing was found, but she felt quite inconvenient. On both days, no manager was there.
I left the next day again, so I did not go to the police. I think it would be useless anyway, the the clothes were quite old, Not really a big loss (the problem is that I need to buy new warm clothes, as it will be cold in my country when I get back).
When I left I could swear that I saw a tricycle driver with my pullover. Looks like the hotel sells forgotten items!
