Manila

For a first timer does it matter if it's Manila or Angeles city. Are they pretty much the same or is it as different as Rio and SP.

I am travelling soon and have limited time hence would like to get an agency instead of relying on independents via smoochi. Is there a good agency out there. I am only aware of manila courtesans, rest turned up via google search seem like scambait.

Any suggestions?

[QUOTE=TjBrazil;2832154]I was checking flight times to Manila and I found one that's about 18 hours 16 is flight time. Which isn't bad, but when I checked Bangkok, they are all 24 hour minimum with 2 stops. I don't think I can handle that. I'm leaning towards the Philippines for 3 weeks. You think I will have enough to do for that long. I like new construction hotels. Any well known hotels that are less than 5 years old that are girl friendly. Should I book the whole trip at one hotel or leave room for going to islands with a girl for a night. What you guys think. I've been rtff but it's a little overwhelming.[/QUOTE]If you are coming from US yes its brutal. 24 hours is the minimum, sometimes a bit more. Three weeks will be fine. Most do two weeks me included so 3 no problem. But truth be told if your like allot of us no matter how long you stay ,2 days before you leave you'll meet a honey that you do not want to leave. This crap seems to happen every time. Travel is 2 days there and one day back due to the time difference. I did it in 10 days once, all I could get off from work due to a girlfriend in a accident. Whew! That was brutal, but it can be done. If doing 3 weeks I would do condo instead of hotel. Prices are same or sometimes cheaper and in Makati there are plenty. Makati is the best central location to monger of course to each his own. Grammercy Tower, Knightsbridge, JAZZ to name a few. Youll have nice pools, weight room and laundry on site, its just more convenient for stay of that duration. Rooms will be much bigger and I always get separate bedroom with a door which comes in handy with multiple girls or just privacy if one of you wants to sleep. I've never had any issues with guest at condos. Fifty to 75 bucks a night will get you a nice unit. I usually do Grammercy as girls love coming over to pool as its on 36th floor with a killer view. ID booked entire time for condo you'll get a better rate, then travel, less to fool with on your return. Plus you can travel light and leave most crap in room. Just check Airbnb. Enjoy!

PI then to Thai then back to PI.

[QUOTE=Jqqmitch;2831391]Interesting. That would be the Cinderella story if airside at T1. Save me navigating Manila immigration twice.

Will google T1 options.[/QUOTE]Let us know what you find, please, Mitch.

[QUOTE=TjBrazil;2832154]Should I book the whole trip at one hotel or leave room for going to islands with a girl for a night. What you guys think.

However, if you might want to go to the beaches, islands or just try somewhere new, then just book for a few days and extend as you go. It would be rare to not be able to extend or move at short notice unless it's Christmas, Holy week etc.

YMMV but for multi week stays, I prefer AirBnB so that I get a full condo with kitchen, clothes washer etc. Greenbelt is walking distance to a lot of daytime activities and a short taxi to night time fun.

3 weeks is plenty of time to have a very good look around Manila or go see a couple of other areas as well. As I said, depends on what your likes are.

Enjoy. G.

Many things to do in Manila during the day. AC is boring as hell.

Manila has nice hotels, eateries etc AC facilities will keep you alive and that's about all.

You can walk the entire length of ACs red light area in an hour. In Manila, red light areas are scattered around town and girls can easily be in traffic for 3 hours just to get to you.

True stunners, both pro and civilian, naturally gravitate to where the money is, Manila.

Most guys admit to being bored of AC after 3 or 4 days. You could spend a lifetime in Manila and not scratch the surface.

Like for like, AC is 10-20% cheaper. A high end night out in Manila can get far more expensive than AC.

Notwithstanding the above, both AC and Manila have dirt cheap girl, food, hotel etc options.

With three weeks available, most newbies would try both.

Enjoy. G.

For Westerners, Angeles City is just one main street with a few small side streets with bars filled with available girls and not much else to do. Drinking and whoring is all you will do in Angeles City. Now, for some, that is enough. Three weeks in Angeles City is a bit too much for me only because I have been there a few times and I would like to try to do other things. Well, there is not a lot of other things to do in Angeles City.

Thanks Mr G.

Appreciate always your perspective.

My post pandemic trip will bring. Me. Close, even beyond for diving.

Look. Forward to Manila, AC and Subic.

Victor.

There have been a few posts over the years of non-mongering or daytime things to do in AC.

I can't comment because I'm with Moonshot: I only go there for one reason.

I think I will cut it to 2 weeks. Seems like 3 weeks might be too much.

You guys have any problems mixing up regular girls with hookers, or do you not want to bother with regular girls. I'm hoping with no major language barrier, I will do better in person or apps. Brazilian hookers tell me I'm gorgeous and have a big penis. Why would they lie.

Landed in Manila on Sunday afternoon.

Went out that night for what was supposed to be a few quiet drinks and ended up in Secret Door (I think its called that) as I was trying to avoid bars swarming with pros. It was actually very lively and I stayed to about 6 am, the beers are so cheap here and met some cool people.

Had a non-pro girl approach me acting very flirty but she was completely hammered to the point I didn't want to do anything with her and told her to get a taxi when she was asking to come back to my place.

Monday I met a girl from tinder, had some food and went back to hers and did the deed.

Today met another girl from tinder in the afternoon and did the deed at my place.

The attention I get on Tinder here is another level from anywhere else I have been, I can put in minimal effort into conversations and multiple girls asking to meet. So far I am enjoying the country a lot, just need to try and find some more bars that aren't 'working girl' bars because I'm not really one to bang a hooker or pay for lady drinks.

Also might try a massage parlour as I do like a massage but from what I am seeing it seems most massage places don't offer happy ending or the ones that do are just outcall services and not proper massage.

All in all, Manila is fun.

Point and shoot pro options: gogo bars, SW, FL (ie LA Cafe or Robinson's mall girls), or escort services might be the better / faster / easier call on an initial trip. Later, if you like the place, you can plan a longer trip, try dating site girls and such (and fall back to your previous fav haunts for point / shoot when needed).

Blonde hair and blue eyes even better. No language barriers then.
