that's pretty much what I'm thinking, PI looks great to me, but AC just looks like a boring shithole.Quote:

For guys with moderate budget like myself Pattaya is becoming less attractive as 90% of Beer Bar Girls/BR girls are ugly, old and overweight and GOGO`s too expensive. That leaves Soi6 and discos after 2am for TLN fun. To repeat again, if you have only short time to spend I would recommend Pattaya but for longer stay nothing can beat Philippines.
For one month trip I would start with Manila. Day or two at Burgos/Edsa or for lower budget MBC, than AC for couple of days. In AC you can have two girls (ST & LT) for the price of one in Pattaya and enjoy real GFE even if you barfine from Blow Row (they stay 2-3hrs compared to 40-60min one-and-done in Patts). If you find right girl (believe me I found many) you can take her to Subic, Sabang or La Union for 2-3 days each. Back to AC and fly to Cebu. It is huge city something like little Manila. Stay at Mango Avenue and go Juliana Disco around midnight. You will find dozens of normal girls and FL looking for foreigners. Once you find girl you like take her to short trip to Bohol. Bohol is beautiful island and you can book nice hotel on the beach. Back to Cebu for more dating (check Ayala Mall and FB/DIA/Tagged) and take your new favorita to Boracay. Flight to Boracay was very cheap, something like $80 return ticket. Five to six days are more than enough for Boracay. Fly back to AC for more hardcore mongering before going home. If you have more time to spend I would recommend Palawan instead of Boracay. It is huge island and you will need 7-10 days
Small reminder here. In Subic you need not to bring your own girl as there are around 20 bars in Barrio Barreto. La Union has better beach and it is 5hrs by "fly bus" north of AC. Around 5 bars around Bali Hai Resort. Average quality and maybe better bring your own. Sabang is like 6hrs south of AC. Good place for snorkeling. Totally owned by Koreans with high prices and girls/mamasans with bad attitude (runners). I would bring my own girl to Sabang (Puerto Gallera). In Bohol island there is very few night life (same with Palawan) and I recommend you bring your own chica. I did not bring my girl to Boracay and had to deal with low quality FL. Most girls ask high peso but you can negotiate them down
Excellent rundown by Weco...
For my 2 cents. I have been all over PI and a lot Thailand. PI scenic wise is blah...it is just not a nice group of islands. Boracay is nice but too many Koreans.
The nicest place I have been in all of SEA is Phuket Thailand. There is a reason there are a bunch of true 5 star resorts there. The islands around there are beautiful. Nice beaches.
Oh cool movie I just netflixed - The Impossible.....on the tsunami...true story.
I have yet to go to Palawan islands in PI...that's my next stop and maybe that will change my view of beauty of PI....

permit on time as there is at least 30 groups waiting in a line with limited number of tours per day. Most guys i talked to told me to bring my own girl to Palawan which
I will definitely do. Palawan will be my vacation trip and last thing I want to worry about is pussy :rofl:
