Yes, I feel the US Govt charges an ridiculous fee to accept, process, review, and probably deny a Tourist Visa!!! I thought the Visa Fee was now USD240. So why would a Thai or Filipino or other SE Asian want to come here??? Maybe the Thai Govt should open new negotiations with Mr. Trump???

Thanks Jasper that is interesting advice. The Taxi from the Airport to Ruya charged me 450 TB. I was upset and only paid him 400 TB. Later I learn that 450 was probably the rate. But paying 500 TB to go out to the Airport seems very high!!

Yes, I just read that Uber sold their operations in SE Asia to Grab.

Back to the topic..a477a..excellent reporting..makes me wonder how it is to get that monster in me... I bet we would all enjoy seeing!! A hot Chinese guy from Singapore and a 9-inch Thai cock would make a great Video!!!

Bucky, many High End restaurants DO have a Minimum Tip. It is often stated at the bottom of the Menu. In some places it may only be for a larger Group of dinners, like 6 or more. And it is often 20 to 25%. I think the "problem" here is calling this a Tip. Tips ARE usually discretionary, based on satisfaction with the quality of the product and the level of service provided. It would be much better in my mind if the amount paid the Massage Guy was listed as a Fee. There would be a Massage Fee for the Shop and a Masseur Fee for the Guy. Clear and simple. But then I am not the owner of the shop.

HUM I will have to look for Groups on FB in the Philippines. Heads up!!

So both you and your Boy must has lots of stamina or are both taking Cialis... ;-)

To each his own...

So much fun to watch their Videos!! Thanks for pointing them out on FB. Guess next trip I will have to take along some Extra pairs of Calvin Klein!! Wonder what waist size for Mr. No 5??? ;-)

Enjoyed your Trip Report and sharing your Experiences!! My only suggestion to you is to TRY BOTTOM!!! You might like it??? ;-)

I can also highly recommend Suphot for travel and as a guide anywhere in Thailand. I have toured the temples in Southern Isan, along the border with Cambodia, with him. And this past November, he took me and my Filipino friend to the Floating Market south of BKK. He is a great driver and knows all of the places!!!

I was there in mid-November. Went to Tawan on a Wednesday night. Took my 23yo Guy from the Philippines with me. And it was DEAD!! Not even a show. So I recommend going on the Weekend!!! ENJOY

Went to Manila, then to Bangkok, back to Manila, and finally down to Cebu City; in November and December. What a trip!! Arriving in Manila from LAX and HKG was no problem; just 25 hours of travel. Met my Guy from Cebu and stayed one night at the Remington Hotel, next to the Airport. The hotel is simple but OK. Had a good Buffet Breakfast the next morning and then off to the Airport and on to Bangkok. Visited Bangkok for 6 days. But most of the time I was feeling terrible with a Head Cold. That did not deter my 22 yo Guy from Cebu. He was out every night. Going to DJ Station, prowling Soi 4 for a Husband, and even going on his own up to Siam Square and Paragon on the BTS. We stayed at the Raya Surawang Hotel. Nice room, but no view, and a good Breakfast. The last night we went to the Bars and ended up at Jupiter. I enjoyed the show and my Guy liked the Men!! I fell in love with No 86 but that is all... So back to Manila and some strange changes in plans. I planned to meet a Chat Buddy, so my Guy was to go visit Relatives. But they called and said they had to go out for Manila. WHAT TO DO??? I ended up booking my Guy a Condo next to SM Mall of Asia and sending him off for the day and evening. He had a good time at SM and I had a GREAT time meeting my Pinoy Man. And what a Man he was... Next down to Cebu City for 8 days. I had booked a very nice Condo in the Crown Regency Towers on Fuente Street. My Guy stayed one night and then went home to see his Family. I had a chat friend come to visit the next day. We had a good time and on Sunday night went out to a Club, OQTAGON. Nice Club but diserted on a Sunday evening. It is 300P admission and 1500P consumables for a table. Since my friend is "known" there we got the table with no minimim. But I was rather disppointed and we went back to the Condo early. Much better performance there!! On Tuesday, my NEW friend from Talisay came for 3 days. Enjoyable but nothing to report. On Thursday I was sitting in my Condo when I got a mobile call. A Chinese guy from Planet Romeo was downstairs and wanted to meet!! CRAZY but I said SURE. He wanted to practice his English. And eventually we got around to practicing other things. We went out for Dinner at Lemon Grass in Ayala Center. Highly recommend it. A very good meal and only cost USD15 for two. My Chinese friend had to be back to his Dorm by Midnight. Such a shame!! He had the most beautiful uncut cock!!! Friday was planned to meet an extremely hot young man from Bohol. He was looking forward to some time in Cebu City and getting f**ked by more than one man!! So we set up a 5-way for that evening. HAHAHA as it turned out it was a 3-way but still HOT. He really loved the attention!! On Saturday, Sunday and Monday my Guy from Cebu came back to stay. He is the best!! What can I say. Monday we visited schools and got him enrolled in a 7 month Caregiving Course. Hope it will lead to him working overseas, in Canada or Japan. Monday night flew back to the US. 20 hours in all!! The worse part of visiting Asia are the trips to and the waits at the Airports. It takes 1 hour to get to the Airport and then you have to be there 3 hours before the flight. All for a flight that take 2-1/2 hours! I am tired of Flying!! In the future I will go to someplace and nest!!! Maybe take a short side trip but avoid any flights between Countries. But it is MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!!! Ingat

So many years ago, I enjoyed Screwboys and the hot guys there!! One night took off a more mature young man. We went to an hourly hotel on Patpong Soi 1. He took care of the arrangements... The room had a mirror on the ceiling. WOW!! And he made our Short Time fantastic!! Will be back in BKK next week and I hope to have a great time again!!! ;-)

vinapu Thanks for all the good information. I will be taking a Filipino friend to BKK this month. I thought he would enjoy going to Arena. But he is shy and I do not know what he might enjoy?? Except that he is a TOP and has not been f**ked. But I do not think he will want to f**k in a massage place. He worries about HIV! So do I tell Art all of this and let him make a suggestion. I said I would pay for the massage and the tip. Should I give my friend 1000 B and let him work it out?? Thanks!!

I did not make it to El Nido and we only stayed in Puerto Princesa for one night. So I am not an expert. We flew to PP from Cebu and then took a V-Hire to Sabang Beach. I think if you are an Adventurer and a Hiker you will find El Nido more interesting. View some of the many Videos on You Tube!! Our one night in PP was FUN. We meet a gay guy there and went to several of the Clubs and Bars. Much bigger City and more to do. I read there are are some nice beaches in town, but we did not get there. Now you can fly directly to El Nido from both Manila and Cebu. Much easier to get there!! ENJOY!!

On LINE can you find someone else by their location? Like looking for a guy who is near you???

Maybe we could get their "Point of Origin" printed on their Number. OH along with their "Use By Date". I will be Shopping in BKK in November and both would be good to know...

Well, I arrive in Cebu City on November 24 and will be there 1 week. I am already FULLY BOOKED meeting nice guys I have met on PlanetRomeo. But I like to spend 2 days or so with someone. And most Filippino guys would rather spend longer!!! Not sure where we will "go out to". If I make it to Mango, I will send a Report.

Sorry Life has passed me by... HAHAHA

In the past I have stayed several times at the PanPacific. But it has been several years ago and I find the report from KhorTose very bothersome! Several of the Gay Bars and Discos where just down Adriatico at Remedious Circle. However times change and I think Makati is much better. If you are looking for a moderate priced hotel, check the Best Western Hotel. Or one of the Serviced Apartments on Ayala Ave. There used to be one Gay Club very near the Best Western. Not sure if it is still open??

Sure, I do not think z909 will be concerned. He asked about place to go and hotel to stay in Cebu City. He also asked about Go-Go bars. Here my LONG reply... SURE, I prefer to stay in the Center of the City, near Osmena Circle. Look on any map and you will see it. There are several areas nearby and I will try to give some comments and suggest Hotels. Fuente/Osmena Circle The biggest hotel in Cebu is the Crown Regency Tower. Rated 4 Satrs Rates are about US$50 to $90 but you can get discounts and packages. Hotel caters to Asian Tourists. Mostly Korean and Chinese. Lots of tour buses and crowds in the Lobby. But OK up stairs. Rooms are a bit tired but I heard they are upgrading some rooms. No problem bringing Guests back to your room. Just decide is you want to pay from the Buffet Breakfast for one or two. Cost for an extra person is about $15. The only other hotel on Fuente Circle is the Summit Circle. It is on top of the Robinsons Dept Store and Mall. I have not stayed there but I think rates are about US$50 3 Star Mango Square Within walking distance of Osmena Circle is the main Night Life area on Mango Street name Mango Square. Gay and STR8 Discos and Bars. Many restaurants. Lots of Gay Guys and Ladyboys. I know of one hotel directly in the district. It is the St. Mark. Newer and nice, 3 Stars. Rates I think are about US$35, maybe lower. Books out quickly. In the same area are a number of smaller hotels. Cebu Century, US$30. Sampaguita Suites, US$20. I have been told that Casa Rosario Pension House is very good. Rate is about US$30. N Escario Street I have stayed many time at the Best Western Plus LEX. 4 Stars and rates for Deluxe King are about US$95. But they have rooms at US$50. Includes Buffet Breakfast. Very good. I highly recommend it. Then along Escario going toward the Ayala Center Mall are a number of other 3 Star Hotels. The Maxwell runs about US$25. Finally there is the Ayala Center Area. The Premier Shopping Mall. Many hotels in this area from US$50 to $100 to $150. But I find these more Large Business Hotels. Marriott is there. But Ayala Center is the best place to go shop, dine, take in a movie. And the hotels or right next door. The other big shopping malls are SM Mandaue and SM Seaview. I have not gone to either. There is a Radison Blu at SM Mandaue. 5 Stars. US$85 and UP. But I find this area to far out. NOW, about Boy Bars. There are only about 3 or 4 and they are far out in Mandaue, near Lapu Lapu City. They are the typical Filipino rip-offs. STR8 Guys, Expensive Drinks, and CRAZY Off Fees and Tips expected. I would avoid them. Meet some sweet Pinoy guy on PlanetRomeo or Whatsapp. Grinder and LINE are not used much in the Philippines. Most Pinoy guys like to go out with a Caucasian MAN, had a nice dinner, PARTY, maybe do some shopping (CAREFUL IT CAN GET OUT OF CONTROL), and have some FUN in Bed. Many guys are looking for a Relationship and not into One-Night Stands so be clear if you want NSA Fun. There are Massage Places in Cebu. But they do not provide Happy Endings. The beaches on Mactan are not the greatest. Most are Man-Made and have rocky coral sand. If you are there for a week or more, get a hot guy to take you down South to the white sand beaches. Or better yet, make a trip up to the top of Cebu Island and go to Santa Fe Town on Bantayan Island. Beautiful Beaches and not expensive. Again, Take a guy or two with you!!! Ask me more if that interests you. SO ENJOY and BEST OF LUCK George in the USA

You will not find Gay Massage Places in the Philippines. No happy endings... Thanks to the Catholic Church and years of shy locals. There is a chain of massage parlors named Nuat Thai. All over the City. Most have male masseuses. And several massages are offered. I am afraid most massage is done at the Spa or your Hotel. OH, there are many men on PlanetRomero offering Massage and I assume other services.

I just sent z909 a long message regarding Cebu City. Not sure I should repost it here... Personally I do not care for Manila. It is to congested and polluted. It can take 2 hours in a Taxi to get across the City. I only went to a Go Go Bar 12 years ago on an early trip to Manila. Sorry but it was not like the Fantasy seen in the movies... Seedy, Expensive, STR8 Guys, CRAZY Off Fees and Tips expected. I have been to Baguio. The countryside is beautiful. And you have to see the rice fields in the Banaue area. But it is mainly a Tourist Visit. Plan to spend several days. From Manila go South to Batangas and take a Pump Boat across the channel to Mindoro. The place to go is Puerto Galera. Many nice small hotels there. Reasonable rates. Somewhat like Greece. The beaches are rocky but you can take another boat to White Beach. Short trip and you can have the boat wait for you. Oh the holidays, White Beach is over run with hot men from Manila. There to ENJOY!!! Cheers!!

I certainly hope you got the Room at a most Reasonable Rate!! Sounds like the Hotel does not have any margin for Guest Accommodation... Many years ago I went to Chiang Mai with a friend from Bangkok. We stayed at the Montri Hotel just at the Ta Pae Gate. After staying there 5 nights we went to check out. The House Keeper came running to the Front Desk with a can of Nuts. My friend told me she was saying we had opened the can and did not pay the 150 B charge. Since I had left her a nice tip in the room I was surprised at this happening. My friend swore he had not opened the can. And of course I had not checked on arrival. Anyway, I lost it and did an Ugly American. Refusing to pay for the nuts. The Hotel Manager did not insist and I did not offer!!! I guess my friend Lost Face. He hardly spoke to me on the flight back to Bangkok. CHEERS
