Skytrax, Fields Avenue, Angeles City

Skytrax on Fields is a very popular hang-out place for bargirls and local Filipino men after work. “Only” about 75% of the male guests are foreigners, I do like the mixture because it doesn’t appear that sterile.
I had always liked Skytrax and still do, especially I like the staff. There is one guy working there who looks like Danny Trejo (“Machete”). At Skytrax and Atlantis I had the best time on my recent AC stay. To be honest I only partied a single night this time in AC, let’s say I am getting more wise or just older – just cannot crash myself every day on an entire month.

High Society club, Fields Avenue, Angeles City

This video is really crappy, I have to apologize. I was originally planning to visit it again and make a better video there, but I was already out of energy after a crazy party night. Next time…
High Society borrows a naming term that is actually better known/more used in Thailand. I liked the naming for “Forbidden City” but this time I think it just doesn’t fit into the Fields Avenue world, at least not yet.

The place is one large room that can easily be overlooked. The big danceflor in the middle is pretty cool I have to admid. However I miss the dark spots and intimacy of a disco like Skytrax. High Society just opened a few months ago, they will find their niche and maybe arrange a few things differently. Because of the good location next to Blue Nile bar, it should be a winning place anyway.

Global Nanpa : Golden Super, ep.1

Global Nanpa is back with a fresh, updated design and some new features. We are still working on more stuff which isn’t availabe yet. It will will take around another year to get some ideas implanted.
The video guide section is now much better structured than before already, thanks Ni. It is not finished yet, it will take until fall 2012 to make it better.

The last trip really broke a barrier. In general I would say : everything is possible now. I just have to decide for which action I want to spend my energy on. The old limits of money and time can hardly be felt anymore. Still, I dislike wasting resources of all means where I don’t see any value for.
Once you cross the EUR 1000 per day stay barrier you are mainly paying for having everything private for yourself and at a level beyond that (3000++) you are mainly paying for the prestige/show.

This amateur video stuff can hardly improve by me alone anymore that’s why I called for external help to hopefully bring things to a higher standard. I had worked with Jakob twice before and now we will focus on a more serious project that will take almost a year to get officially released.
I still try to involve as less people as possible here, but I had reached my own limits on the former website that’s why I asked other people for help.
There is not much time left until the next trip and I am so damn busy again with my real job that I have no idea how to release 10.000 pictures and 100 GB video material (can’t call me lazy…) from the last trip.
That’s why I decided to kick out a summary video at the beginning now because it can take some time until you see the independent videos of it.

Who knows, maybe Jakob and I get to see Brad Pitt and a big Hollywood crew next time we are out there ?! When I stayed at Six Senses Koh Yao Noi in November, the news just came in that Brad Pitt and a Hollywood crew want to rent the entire resort in December, most likely working on a massive new Thailand project. On my day of leave of Six Senses, they delayed their plans because of the current flooding problems those days in Bangkok.
Hollywood landed a big hit with Hangover 2 where the action takes place at Ritz-Carlton-Phulay Bay, Krabi and in Bangkok.
It is too funny, but Cherry (Baccara, Soi Cowboy, Bangkok) and some other people (friends of Sam/Tilac bar, Soi Cowboy, Bangkok) told me that some staff people from the Hangover 2 crew still often frequent their bars, sitting outside (not inside) the bars and barfining girls. And now you tell me that Thai bargirls aren’t a powerful weapon of mass destruction ?! LOL.

Angeles City news :
Gerard, Angeles City’s most innovative entrepreneur, from ABC (Angeles Beach Club) hotel introduced me to some of his grand plans in Makati, Manila – a real shocker, but more about that later. He actually did fly 1 day after me to Pattaya and the guy from La Pasha was on the same plane to Thailand like me.

What’s new in Bangkok :
Mr.Klingenberg (former Anantara hotel, Chiang Saen) from Muse hotel showed me around the hotel, Medici restaurant, when we accidentally ran into each other.
The Siam Hotel will most likely be opened mid of June 2012 and the Central Embassy mall / Park Hyatt hotel might be finished around end of 2013.
The new shopping mall Terminal 21, next to Sheraton hotel Sukhumvit, got an interesting airport theme.
I met plenty of cool characters and there are lots of things to report about – if I only had more time…

Losing the power to love : Angeles City, Philippines

I personally consider Angeles City to be the most “dangerous” place a man can possibly visit. Once you have visited that city, there is no way back and your life will change forever. You will see things a different way, you have no choice.
Some people get more mad than others. I gladly have to say that things don’t affect me as strongly anymore as in the beginning.

AC is small, nightlife is happening on Fields Avenue you see above and around Perimeter road. I would roughly estimate that at least 20 times more bargirls are working in Pattaya.

I stayed the entire time with the same girl the last visit, I have never been at AC without butterflying. I simply didn’t feel to go very wild this time. I really enjoyed the time with that sweet girl. Of my 5 days there, I actually only went out 2 1/2 days in the night ! Fucking unbelievable…

Skytrax is good as always although of course you cannot expect from AC to have a “real” disco club. It is still an all-around fun place where lots of bargirls go after work.

The LGH group made a fantastic move when buying the Dirty Duck bar. First the location is perfect next to Kokomos right in the middle of Fields, then they opened the Forbidden City right opposite to it. They can “protect” their customer clientele within this short area, trying not to lose any spent money on the way. Second I like the name and their logo. It is the coolest lady bar logo and name I have ever seen across whole SEA. Sadly most of the better girls got raided from bar and they didn’t had good replacements there anymore while I visited it. Too bad.
Things in general were very different than before, it was really good to barhop a lot.

Below you see Golden Nile, they have some lookers, but it is difficult to enjoy myself there somehow, so I actually never stayed long, no cozy spots around. Some of my best pictures I took in AC. There is a pure picture video coming up as well.

Crystal Palace I liked very much. They had some of the best dancing groups of AC last times. It is fun to watch their show.
I also think that Pony Tails is very much underestimated. I really love the setting, cowboy salon-type. If they would put there a few more hot girls, I would hang out there a lot.

What would be Angeles City without Western Union ? I don’t know when the whole sponsor game started in AC but it is not a good development. In Thailand the sponsoring is well established since a long time already. In AC I find the situation even more ugly because the girls just play even more dirty than in Thailand from my point of view. Thai girls talk their way out or won’t confront the sponsor directly with lies, it is more a tricky game how they behave. The Filipina behaves more snake like, directly lieing and directly demanding. The first day a girl starts in the bar there she is lost, you are fool if you think you will ever be able to change it. In most cases she will never be able to do a normal job after that anymore. The same story I hear from the friends in Pattaya : once the girls figure out how easy it is make money with men, do you think they will ever go back to a really brutal job where they only make about 10% of the money before ?

The story of this girl is tragic like so many others. She never really did something wrong in the first place. She comes from a farming family, worked for a richer household in Manila as a teen. The lady there kicked her out of the house one day for no reasons, probably because of being jealous of her. With no money she called a friend, at least she thought he would be one. This guy drove her directly to AC where she started working as a cherry girl. One Korean offered paying Pesos 150k for her cherry but she was undecided. At one night this Korean made her drunk, booked a room at Fontana hotel, took her cherry and disappeared…without paying ! If this guy ever shows up again, you can guess what happens with him…

Sometimes I think it is better if you don’t hear all such stories because it is a fun spoiler. In that regard it makes very much sense to butterfly all nights. Everyone has to find his own way in AC. It is clearly a place that very seriously can make you lose the power to love :

Tight Pussy Alarm trilogy : Angeles City – the real Sin City (part 2 of 3)

So here is my Valentine’s special for you. Something that always amazes me in the Philippines is how content and cheerful most people are although they really don’t have any possessions. This should make one think. The per capita GDP in the Philippines is even a lot lower than in Thailand and Indonesia. Most people are simply surviving somehow, living in average 55 years maybe. Still, they probably smile more than most western people averaging maybe 75 years. And they have those exciting “happy moments”, enjoying situations, not thinking of future worries. You have to be born and grow up like that, it hardly can get learned.

The Pinays LOVE singing and karaoke. It would be rare to find a girl who does not like to sing. The Filipinas mostly do sing good, some even really good. They are more talented at that than their Thai counterparts it seems.

There is a new KTV on Fields Avenue close to 7eleven that I frequented a few times. The rooms are sweet, so are the dresses of the hostess. A girl I had known before from Camelot started working there when it opened, so I checked it out, but she quit there recently. I am a terrible singer and gladly am not trying it even when really hammered/trashed. Going there is fun because the girls always have a great time and totally open themselves.

I personally-Narcissus nomen est- like the 2nd part most :

TIGHT PUSSY ALARM trilogy : Angeles City – The real Sin City (part 1 of 3)

My recent trip was actually starting in AC although I am putting the report now at the end. I knew I needed energy for that place that’s why I put it in front. I was still very motivated shooting video and had tanked enough reserves to be able to sleep around 3-4 hours per day effectively over 1 week. Moreover I consumed alcohol like water there and trashed myself partying to the extreme every day. I am more and more getting used to it, so I am still able to control myself somehow; I even shoot video a lot better when being in my “Mars” state.

Angeles City is getting crazier every year. That place I would call DYNAMIC. Whereas all red-light districts across the whole world seem to be in decline, AC seems to be unstoppable. Lots of new places opened, of course a lot disappeared or changed names on the other hand. What’s most important : The number of visitors remained almost flat within a year whereas Thailand crashed heavily by around 25%. The Philippines are on a stronger growth trend for almost all sectors than Thailand. But the Philippines are dealing with convenience issues that will take at least 1 or 2 decades to get handled effectively : transportation and safety. I won’t go into this, I have discussed it before already.

The girls are really sweet. They are not even close as hardcore as the Pattaya Thai girls. It is a very different game. Most Pinay bargirls try to find sponsors or getting somehow out of the country, marrying a passport. The Thais love their country, they all want to stay if they could make money the same way there. I had AC and Pattaya in direct comparison and AC wins it clearly in terms of girls. Ok, you don’t find the freaks, some long-legged showgirls or the sheer amount of choice (around 30-fold more). But you get kindness, affection, some really fun evenings without getting asked for money. The framework for most Asian girls is still very similar I would say. And yes, I do love to hang out with Asian girls A LOT more than with Latinas…

Although Angeles City is growing fast, it is still 10 to 20 times smaller than Pattaya. The bars and shows in AC are way, way better and fun. Pattaya’s bars bored the shit out of me last time, sorry. It was more like : get a beer, check the selection, barfine and out to some restaurant or dance club. In AC, the bar is the event where you get entertained !

Nuff said, so check out part 1 :
