  1. The motorcycle mongering sure ain't great here. I can hardly find a big bike to rent
  2. I just came back from white beach Marinduque. That place is really heading in the right direction compared to 2014. There's some resorts under construction. The beach is mint. Lots of small vendors with anything you need. It wasn't like this in 2014.
  3. This hotel and the SM Mall are nice. It has some pieces in place. The hotels and municipality should be able to do a better job keeping the beach front. It will come with time i suppose. But maybe not if they keep shooting themselves in the balls by making enemies with the Chinese.
  4. I'm in Subic now. At the Coral Reef resort. It's a nice place. Subic feels about 15-20 years behind Pattaya. Just an observation. I walked out the front of the hotel for a puff and was swamped by hucksters and prostitutes. They were pretty though. 8.5/10. The beach water isn't that dirty. But there's a disappointing amount of garbage around.
  5. I knew some would be defending this vile dross
  6. I would. You'd get whooped.
  7. Christ, who did he p**s off
  8. (snip )-I have been looking at prices currently and there's still no comparison. Thailand is around 50% cheaper for what you are getting
  9. This place in San Juan Batangas looks nice. But its 4-500 USD a night. In Pattaya, this would be $120 per night tops
  10. Im not into the sleepy beachside places with minimal development. But I do understand their appeal. Pattaya is perfect for me. Bright and modern, 3rd and 1st world at the same time. Subic looks alright though. There's a big shopping mall there, a water park , jet skiis
  11. Next time we travel, we're going to Thailand and only Thailand
  12. The Philippines basically sucks compared to Thailand it seems. Is there any beach side city with major hotel chains with a beach anywhere ?
  13. Ok so what area would be better in the Phillipines. I want to be by the water. Angeles doesn't interest me
  14. i am traveling with a wife so sporting women isn't a thing on this trip. I don't like an area that is particularly quiet. Which is why I've always liked Pattaya. I am also headed to the Batangas area but I don't see anything there that appeals to me much for staying for more than a few days
  15. What does Olongapo compare to vis a vis Thailand ? Does it have Pattaya vibes or is that way off the mark ? I want to stay near the water preferably.
  16. Easy. Horsing around near a open window or balcony. Hanging over the rail, climbing on tables or chairs near heights.
  17. It isn't at all if you don't have the basic survival instinct called being afraid of heights. Kids and teens horse around at heights all the time
  18. They are more similar than you seem to think
  19. You need to relax. Stop being such a crank.
  20. Thai Freindly.com and Tinder I assume
  21. I like the way people drive and ride. Im not joking either
  22. The bike rider thought he could do what the locals do. Except the locals grew up on motorcycles and on these streets and have decades of experince at these lights. Some Thai's jump lights early. But they look both ways usually
  23. Ah yes because there's never any German British or Australian mafia scum around. Lets not forget the Canadian scum.
  24. You're FOS Thai rails are within an international standard and not below your hip.
