And so if it's removed - fair enough. But has anyone any experience of Brazil? eg. Rio? Would be great to have a thread on that. Because is always a place I have wondered about women/P4P wise.

Thailand, where the security guards are almost always unarmed and asleep, despite the recent widely-publisized case of mental security guard bashing and killing other guards he found asleep; or Philippines, where most businesses are guarded by fully alert, under-trained thugs with wicked-looking weapons. Some nice hotels in the Perimeter Area, Hana Hotel is nice and reasonably priced. The Perimeter bars, such as Niftys and Rios, offer aggressive service and fun on-site. Air Asia announced a Bkk-Clark direct flight a couple of years ago, but Philippines Airline blocked govt. approval, and no further progress has been made. I agree this should be a popular route.

I went to Angeles for a fortnight two years ago and everything you said matched my experiences. I still recall how the girls said "See how you are" in that cute Hispanic accent. As for the security aspect, my travelling friend and I were concerned when we received a five-page email from our hotel providing advice on how to avoid being kidnapped by a bogus taxi-driver at Manila Airport. We found our designated cabbie but were even more alarmed at the first motorway toll booth when we saw two snipers on the roofs of the booths with their rifles trained on the queueing cars. When we got to the hotel, we were greeted by a security guard with a shotgun and a ferocious dog (the latter was presumably a back-up in case his gun jammed). When we recovered from the culture shock and dared to go out, we had a great time and found Angeles no more dangerous than Thailand. As in Thailand, you just have to keep your wits about you. We stayed in the Aussie-run Red Phoenix Hotel in the Perimeter area. I would really recommend it. Nice rooms, good security, small swimming pool and a restaurant that did awesome western food, particularly breakfasts with great steaks, patties and sausages made from imported Australian meat. Nearby we stumbled on Nifty's Bar, a go-go bar that opened at noon. The first time we walked in, there were all these cute girls walking round in nurses' uniforms with the tops pulled down. They weren't shy and ST with one at your hotel was 500 baht...and ST was three hours. Air Asia keep talking about starting a budget service from Bangkok to Angeles. If that ever happens, I am sure the route would soon be very popular. DJ: Thanks for a really informative report.
