BritManToo Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 About 4 years back I was flying to The Philippines 3x-4x a year (from Thailand). Then they raised the flight prices substantially. So I never went back ............. Started spending my holidays in Vietnam and Cambodia. If destinations get more expensive, less people will go. It's as easy as that. And that's just the air fares. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBKK Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If they do that many will not go. I have been maybe 50 times and the thing driving up prices were the Koreans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I think this will also happen in Thailand. Visiting these male entertainment venues will become a higher luxury expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbko Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I stopped going to the Philippines when on my last visit, I noticed the security guard at my average costing hotel patrolling the grounds with a sawed off shotgun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Ah.. Angeles City, a place where i left many of my pesos and even more of my seeds...a true Mecca for whore mongering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Rented a house there for a few months. Apart from dissipation there was not a lot to do there. Drinks then were absurdly cheap. 2.50 peso for either a beer or a shot of something harder. ( just after Aquino was shot ) So for a pound I could have 16 drinks. Alcoholics paradise. There were regular shows at Studio 1 and bar fines at Ayers Rock were 150 pesos but you had to have a tag team. Born at a niche time. Now I think of it there used to be a railway line cutting fields avenue in half. Along this railway was a food center. Lots of little stalls but they only sold 1 thing. Hot dogs. Absolutely nothing else. Edited October 19, 2021 by Denim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had looked more carefully you might have also seen that ubiquitous shotgun was rusty, uncared for and likely inoperable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotReallyHere Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Philly in the Philippines is one of the crappiest YouTubers in the Philippines. He is KING of the click bait title. In this video he takes 14 minutes to tell us he thinks the prices will go up. He gives no real justification for his uneducated guess other than the bar owners need money. No duh... Complete waste of time. I've said it before, I'll say it again... Posting crappy YouTube videos decreases the credibility of this forum. Someone needs to screen these videos better. I suspect they aren't being watched before they are posted. They are being posted based on the title of the video alone. This increases the likelihood that we will be served a bunch of click bait. Gee thanks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
