From my poor knowledge on that, not much of action possible in the venue? I could be wrong. I attempt this to learn more about in this trip.

It's going to be my first time in the Philippines. I was in Thailand a few years ago for some fun and had some suits made while I was there. Does Manila have the same type of Tailor industry where custom clothes can be made in expensively? If so any recommendations on where?

Yes but it is quite expensive for quality. If you don't mind the subpar materials and so so workmanship top floor divi usually run about 5 k for jacket and pants.

It worked out quite well and I was guaranteed good materials. Just make sure they use decent cotton. Quality material by the yard can be found by contacting tailor colleges back home and the shop will know how much you need just by looking at your body size.

Good luck. G.

I just got back from a 6 day trip in Manila. I stayed at the New Coast Hotel which is 2 blocks from LA Club. What a wonderful hotel! Highly recommended. I got the free breakfast options, and the breakfast was amazing, pool Amazing. Everything top notch. For about $60 a night. Incredible deal. I found myself going back to the Club most nights. I have to say that the club does a lot of pressure sales, is the negative, but it's a fun place to be. The waitress there are their to make commission on you while you try and talk to the freelancers. So if you try to look at it like that, then those ladies need some of your dollars too. Most every night, the CLUB was packed. Thu-Fri-Sat the upstairs was open with a live DJ. I went upstairs on a THU and it didn't take long for the ladies to stop by. The time it took me to get to know two of the ladies was about an hour and my bill to the club was about 3,000 peso which is about $60, this after buying drinks for me, the two ladies and the waitress wanted me to buy rounds for them. So be careful you don't get roped in too deep with all the pressure sales from the wait staff. You just got to be strong and say no. Freelance prices ranged from 2000-5000 quoted out loud sitting at the table, girls looks hot there and a lot of fun. The smoke was HEAVY there, alot of smoking and you will smell like smoke when you leave. I was reading in another thread, and I did not see hardly any freelancer hanging around the Robinson Mall, they all seemed to be at the Club. Since the club is open 24/7, I dunno why you would not just go to the club, I went there at 10 am one day and had two drinks and played pool, and there was STILL freelancers in that place at 10 AM, like maybe 10 of them. At night time, there was too many to count. Maybe like 100-150 roaming around to about 20-25 guys. You have crazy ODDS. My recommendation, is don't sit there and let them come to you, that wastes time, walk the room and ask them to come sit with you so you get what you want without wasting time.

[QUOTE=PapaeNoel;2689497]I enjoy P. Burgos for one night only. I spend alot of time in Bangkok and Pattaya, and much prefer Thailand for a few reasons, but the filipinas are sometimes more interesting, and I also find them a little less hardcore than Thai girls, so it's easier to get hardcore, if that makes any sense.

Lips. Is on the closest side street to Makati. You will go up some stairs to get into Lips, as there is also a separate club, located downstairs. Fun enough if you are drunk enough. I was. Probably the best part is the nice waitresses on staff. I actually enjoyed the club, it is not a "rip off the customer" venue, and alot of space. Recommended.

Saharat. Is not called Saharat anymore. Good chicks in here, definitely a higher hiring standard. New Chinese owner. Recommended.

Coco Rock. Upstairs, just prior to entrance for Nautica. No comment except that it was not unique, and uninteresting, for my personal taste.

Dimples. On a side street off of Burgos. Place has not changed too much, except for the seating areas and lack of a central stage (there is no go-go dancing, as in the past. It's not that you should expect more mileage here than other places, but there was one girl that was quite liberal with me. She wears a long dress, but makes sure to raise the dress. She is sans panties, so you can check out her moistness while she checks out your hardness.

Dimples pre-Covid was also open in the day time, and was a little wild back then. Manila is still Alert Level 1, so at the moment it is not possible for any of these places to open during the day, according to a waitress. At night time, they used to have an area partitioned off for possibly full on action. Of course that was not necessarily why a dancer would take you back there, but it did cost extra. Last night, I observed that area is now much more illuminated, but was never used. Some really good looking girls back then. Post Covid era is not nearly as good but expect Dimples to be one of the places to really improve.

Nautica. It's the last joint on P. Burgos street before reaching Kalayaan Ave. There is a doorman, and after you enter that front door you will see a flimsy door on your left. I had a beer and got 1 drink for a girl, then left very soon for the upstairs club.

To get there without ever entering the first club, you would just go straight thru this empty assembly area where the girls eat their pancit and balut to a staircase. Maybe the downstairs club is Nautica, and upstairs is Lollipop, but not sure. I ended up with one dancer in the back seats to do the nxxxy. Great mouth, and great pussy. Can take them upstairs for privacy, but I preferred the back seats. I get a little crazy sometimes in these little clubs. Her co-workers sort of stood in front of us to cover from the strict mamasan. The younger waitress did not mind seeing a little of our activities. Just be careful if the mamasan is nearby. So, at least it seems, this last place is for doing the deed.[/QUOTE]Thank you so much for this report, just my opinion that this belongs also in the Makati thread. Cheers.

Usually it is around $100. I have stayed there many times.

You say LA club. It was LA cafe before. Have they changed the name?

New Coast, see pic for price, $74/ night on Agoda.

New Coast, see pic for price, $74/ night on Agoda.[/QUOTE]Agoda usually does not include taxes and other small charges. Generally I have gotten anywhere from $85 to $120. With breakfast more expensive not free with room. However king room I got comparable to 5 star. They have turn down service as well. Since it is a casino hotel nobody checks coming and goings although I suspect they have cameras everywhere.

After all night fun nothing beats McDonald's big breakfast down the street.

Usually I stay with my online contact girls but have gone to LA Cafe to just check out the scene but not take anybody.

[QUOTE=Sammon;2694235]Agoda usually does not include taxes and other small charges. [/QUOTE]Check your user settings. Agoda has settings to change default displayed pricing between base price per night, total price per night, total price per stay etc. There are also settings to automatically include any credits you may have accrued.

Despite all this I'd agree that it's common to actually pay a couple of dollars more than advertised especially if you are not paying in the host currency or USD.

Cheers. G.

As an aside, as there is not much happening on the Phils thread today. All of my NCR regulars are still in the same boat. The pandemic caused the foreigners to run away. Only one of my regulars had an NCR expat who lives there as a client. After the pandemic started he mostly dropped her as a regular, taking her only every few months (over-supply issue I would guess). All of my regulars were previously involved in the Burgos biz, and all rued the disappearance of the 2-week warriors. Apparently the re-opening has not see the large influx of the warriors. The regulars' overseas sponsors stopped sending remit long ago.
