Angeles City is the immediate urban area which the airport serves, which is in itself, divided into several subdivisions.

IMO AC is one of the best places for a solo cheongster (lone ranger) to visit. My first trip there ever was solo, approx. 6 years ago.

Hi .. Thanks for the info.. Some of my friends mentioned clark city as the place to go so I was under the impression it was a city. Well, I guess if I could find some pals to tag along with, id try out Angeles city.

I am finally home with my mother complaining that I AWOL without phone call for 8 days. Sigh, so busy in AC.

Cheating?? see, another excuse of yours. i totally don't need to resort to that. The truth will be out very soon at the showdown.

You never go Sillyhat whose fault ah?
Early know your unappreciative response, i don't post the picture.
Aiyah, press wrong button become up your points....Sigh...

datou and Guapo are the best of friends and that's why they can say whatever they want to each other in here. So, let no one feel that they are "fighting". Also he did ask to visit Silly Hat while with me. So it's my fault.

Just want to make sure I can still be able to perform search when required in sbf..

My advise is to keep your Iphone in Singapore and bring 2 cheap phones to AC. The mini sim and which provider issue has been discussed recently and for your needs, I propose walking into the many internet cafes and logging into SBF. Just remember sammyboy.com and you are in! Cost you peanuts for cafe surfing. 15p/hr.

Hello Brudders,

Just 2small questions.

One is need visa go angeles city or not?

Two is book hotel thru agent or not or just go there book?

Thank yu brudders

Brudder acidunion,

I suggest that you tie up with, always helpful Brudder Datou, and others who will be in town during your proposed trip and stay in the same hotel as the others, as it helps co-ordination.

Angeles, more more specifically, Balibago, is, in my view, a even more easier place to manage than Phuket - just a 3km straight stretch where the action and amenities are; no language barrier issues; and the bar rules are consistent.

Check it out to see if it is to your taste...

but let me warn u that many of those who have visited will later suffer from PAB (post Angeles blues)

I was outnumbered and out localized.

Bro I understand your furuastion.I'm just creating a joke out of bitterness 苦中做乐hope u don't mind.

Seriously if I'm in your situation I donno what to do either no choice but to let go annoyingly..

Visit to station 4 means foreigner pay no matter victim or not.
Thanks for sharing with us glad u are ok.

Well, this is my first time to phillipines. As I read in the earlier posts, safety is an issue. I'm just wondering if anyone here is heading down on the 6th march so I can tag along. I really like to try Clarke city but I don't think heading down alone would be an easy feat. I have been to Phuket alone but Clarke must be a whole diff ball game.

There's a hotel called grand central hotel. Looks pretty decent and in the middle of the stretch in fields.. Is this a gd place to stay from ure experiences.

Thanks again..all replies would be appreciated.

2 things u need to do and u shall have the time of your life.

1)spend a couple of hours read up this thread for the last 80pages.

2)get yourself safetly to grand central hotel and u shall boogie from there.

Have fun

Brudder The Lord, lets be kind to Sex Kid, shall we? since by having nickname Kid, he accepts that he has some things new to learn in life...so lets not ask him to read more pages in this Thread for such basic info.

Brudder Sex Kid, no visa requirements if you are Msian or Sporean...and no agent required to book room.

[willytell]

It's my last night in AC and at a loss of doing so much things and places to go before coming back to Sickapore 2morrow.This trip is one of the best having met our Big Bro Ziebart in person and having some useful tips from him. In fact, met him at 2am today at his recommended Clarkestar hotel while checking for vacant room. Lastly, also wishes to meet Guapo again. You owe me a drink for accompany your girl not only to Manila but all the way back to the place she stay.(bro Ziebart should know about it)

No offense caused. Just want to keep our people up to date on the problems that might happen to them as well as options. I also had the same thoughts as you wrote and I felt the money was too small to push the matter further.

Glad also that Clark Star Hotel has extended their promo offer to our SBF readers. I had to re negotiate cos the hotel had a change of manager. So, its still 20% off the listed rate and 1 free breakfast(in room or at restaurant). Free transfer to and from Clark airport.

Wifi routers are all up with subscriptions to PLDT and Smart which is very impressive on the hotels part. Only problems is that they hooked up the system wrongly and its screwed up. Only in the Philippines.

Can I unofficially set the tip for airport transfer to 50p/head or 100p a trip for the driver? Also occasional tip to the hotel staff of 20p will bring a smile. Bring some used clothes when you coming over to give to the hotel boy.

Thank u for ure valuable information .. Haha.. I'll be looking forward to this as I have grown bored with Phuket and also the language barrier.. I'm a really easy going chap who likes good company and friendly banter . I would like to hang out with like minded brudders and probably experience something new. I was just worried abt the safety issue cos even though I give lot of respect to the cultural differences wherever I go, danger still lurks and I get kinda paranoid going solo and that spoils my holiday.. Haha.. Anyway thanks bro
