Manila - any inside info

[didierhardy]

It's a long time since I was working in Manila. Going back for a short trip, where should I go for sanuk? (beside the LA cafe)

Was there in January, EDSA seems to have gone to dogs .. literally. Some nice looking ladies in the bars on Burgos St but the bar fines are over the top.. Try the Filling Station on the left, from Makati Ave., or the Underground - I think, on the right for freelancers and afterwork pole huggers ..

 

Cheers

Makati P.Burgos is where the gog bars are. Cheaper overall (if you include drink prices) then Bangkok.

 

The barfines are approx P1900-P3000 depending on the bar. Tips are P2000 and YES that is for short-time OR long-time.

 

In terms of "action" that you cant find in a bar, the underground section referred to is below Makati Palace Hotel and is called "Night Train"; Matrix (right across the street from Night Train) is actually a decent pickup spot as well. Filling Station has like a 1-2hr window starting around 2:30-3am.

 

A "massage girl" *wink* can be found really easily and the price is P1000-P1500. BE VERY CAREFUL though as the cops have been known to plant underage girls and then pick you up as soon as you have an "arrangement".

 

Baklas (katoey) to you are also here, but you bangkok guys will be able to spot them as they dont come close to the same level that you find in Bangkok.

 

Hope that helps

Thanks for all your help. I am back in Bangkok. As life is not depending only on girls, all in all Manila sucks!
