[QUOTE=Maila;1571187]Guys. Where is the best place to access an ATM. After crossing, near HK / AB? I tried searching but maybe the search term is too short for the forum software. I'm kind of hesitant to use ATMs there but I know some people have mentioned using them. Spanish is another issue. Probably need to figure out what to do before the ATM eats the card. Wondering if it's worth the risk. I might stay at Ticuan, so around it would also be fine.[/QUOTE]Good Idea to be concerned about using ATMs in sketchy areas. Some guys don't care but I'd rather use an ATM attached to a bank in a non red-light district. Since you will be at the Ticuan I recommend using the ATM at the bank on Revolucion between Calle 9 and 10 on the north side of the street. I don't remember the name but they have an on duty guard and full bank staff to assist you in case something went wrong. IMO better accessed during normal banking hours.

In some ways brining cash is a lot easier to deal with in Tijuana "IF" you can secure it.

Safety concerns after visibly retrieving cash there as well as Spanish make me a little wary of the ATM route. Perhaps, I'll just a change money before the border and avoid headaches.

Thank you for your advice!

Thank you for your advice![/QUOTE]You will get a slightly better rate on the US side of the border. Double check to make sure the ticuan has a safe in the rooms. Even then I recommend looking into a safe box w / key to lock your valuables in BEFORE you put it in the safe.

[URL]www.corporatetravelsafety.com[/URL] has a few options available.

[QUOTE=Artisttyp;1571252] Double check to make sure the ticuan has a safe in the rooms. [/QUOTE]Its confirmed Ticuan has in room safes. And Art is correct better rate to get your pesos on the USA side. Three places at the Trolley station usually have the best exchange rate.

Thank you for your advice![/QUOTE]An ATM will give you a better rate than you will get at any cambio. However, you'll need to take out enough money to make it worthwhile. There is roughly a $3 fee at the Mexican ATM and your bank may ding you for an international fee. Check your bank.

There are plenty of ATMs outside of the Zona, or Revu. Several banks exist in the Plaza Rio area. Have a cabbie take you to one and wait.

The ATMs are all in Spanish and English.

Just for practice, when making a withdrawal in the US, choose Spanish as the language. It ain't that hard.

I got the Schwab checking account. So, no FTF, ATM charges, plus refunded third-party ATM charges! Wasn't really meant for Tijuana. Will make use of it elsewhere.

What do you mean it wasn't really meant for Tijuana?

There is an HSBC on Revolucion if anyone has an account from there. I opened one about 10 years ago because just about all of the countries that I travel to have an HSBC. It was at that time the biggest bank in the world. I don't know if it still is or not.

I didn't get it for the exclusive purpose of using it in Tijuana. I didn't mean there was anything with the account itself that was not suited to it. Sorry about the ambiguity!

Planning my 1st Tijuana trip June 20-22, Been to Mexico before a couple times but never on a full on Monger trip. Going through a divorce so looking to take my mind off of things for a while.

Looking for a Exp wingman (who knows a lot of the ladies) to hang with and to teach me the ways LOL. I'll def buy you drinks And if I'm in a good mood a chica: the Plan on making more trips throughout the year if your game send me a PM.

An off-duty CBP officer would be great guide for Tijuana fun. I only meet one at the border crossing entrance on the Tijuana side long time ago and he was no help. Having said that RTTF would be your best safe guide.

Keep us posted and good luck on your safe trip.

Hey all,

Planning another visit in the near future to Tijuana. Wondering what my best bet is on having a good 3 some /4 some / naked party fun. Any way to find a PSE here with multiple girls? Money isn't really an issue as it'd be one of those once in a lifetime things. I don't want to just email a bunch of escort agencies because the last thing I want is to have a bunch of 5/6's who aren't really into it all sitting in one of the nice suites of Hotel Premier or something. Any way to strike up a deal with one of the clubs to have multiple girls come to your place for a night, kind of like how you can do with some American strip clubs?

[QUOTE=Kekker18;1572513]Planning my 1st Tijuana trip June 20-22....... Going through a divorce so looking to take my mind off of things for a while.[/QUOTE]Kekker, a visit to the playground will sure do the trick. I myself have been playing down south of the border for about 18 years not to mention that I just returned from 4 days this Memorial weekend full of debauchery, drinking, tacos, girls and sex. Yep you will forget all your troubles, well at least until you hit the long border crossing back into the US (the drive waiting was right at 3 hours this morning at 6 AM).

Have fun!

The Tall Man.

I would try HK... Get 3-4 girls and get a suite. I would do a ficha feeling out procces to see who you click with and who is into it. And even then it might not go according to plan. I think when you want more than 2 girls it becomes harder to find the ones that'll be fully into it.

Last tequila festival weekend I was waiting to get my room key fixed at the front side checkin at HK.. While I was waiting I started talking to these colt fans about the Monday night gm they where going to later that night. There where about 4 - 5 guys...while we waited I see this 250 lb... 5' 5" guy walk down with 2 girls at his side while there where 3 more trailing them. This guy was a big guy and he was drenched in sweat as he walked down the stairs wiping sweat from his balding forehead... This guy had a smile from ear to ear the whole time. Everyone stopped in conversation and just watched this guy walk all the down the stairs in aww... It was like dammm 5 girls.

Hope you have a good time like that guy
