i kinda do, but either way its not like i can just tell her the real answer
Just say "I really like Filipino women," and leave it at that.

If you can't even say that to her, something is wrong.

so I'm most likely going to AC for a week or two soon. After a minimum of research it seems like I wanna stay in a hotel on or as near as possible to a street called "fields" or something, is that correct? It's only short term so I wanna stay right in the middle of the action or at least as close to it as possible.

Anyone got any good hotel recommendations? Priorities are, in the following order:
1: Location
2: Grindable internet. A bit slow is fine, but frequent 1+ minute long disconnects would **** me up completely seeing as I play hu hypers.
3: general hotel standard

Wait, I'm confused. What can't you say?

Unless your mom will only accept you if you are NOT straight but are instead gay, and somehow I don't think that is the case, then you can certainly say to her

"Mom, I like women."

We agree on this I hope.

So why can't you add in the word Filipino, before the word women, and therefor solve your problem?

Does your mother have an issue with you being attracted to women in a 3rd world country?

You don't have to say

"Mom I like to bang a different Filipino bar girl each night, I meet them all up and down Fields Ave. in AC"

You don't have to say

"Mom I love Filipino chicks asses, I want to stick my dick in them morning, noon and night until it falls off"

I can understand her being shocked and upset if you said that to her, but I really can't see what's wrong with saying you like the Philippines because of its women, and leave it at that.

Trust me, if that's all you say, your mother will fool herself into believing you have nothing but the most pure intentions.

I have a lot of fun in Thailand for 200-250$/night so my goal is to stay in that range if possible.

EDIT: I'm not sure about hotel costs in AC so just consider that 200-250$/day is my budget, so I can't afford to stay in a hotel that costs like 150$/night obv (because then I won't have any monies left for fun ).

Budget for hotel i think he means.

Check out the royal Amsterdam Hotel It's right on fields ave right in the action I stayed there when it first opened and it was fine. Dont stay in Pacific Breeze Hotel if you play on stars cus the internet there wont let you log on to it **** knows why not.

There is a real nice upscale market close to Fields Ave. cant think of the name though but will be about 150u.s+ pernight.

Walkabout is good value, nice clean rooms and friendly staff. Rates were about 1400p/night last time I stayed there. They also had a small weekly/monthly price break (maybe 10-15% off)

I wouldn't say the internet is grindable from my stay there, it was a bit come and go, but the hotel is otherwise ok.

AC hotels aren't great value for money anyway compared to Thailand.

Good internet can be found at Orchid Inn Resort, tethered ethernet, incredibly solid.

Bangkok hotel, mostly koreans but middle of action, foam mattress tho, solid wifi, one of the best wifis around.

Royal Amsterdam, solid internet tethered ethernet not as solid as Orchid Resort tho.

You can grind on smart bro stick if you have to, just find a spot with 5 bars, royal amsterdam on the 3rd floor facing that loud karaoke gave me 4 to 5 bars... I found many 5 bar spots in manila, grinded 12 tables almost flawlessly on stars...

I went to thailand for about 10 years then went to Phils and hated it. My friends goaded me into a second trip bc they were there and I have never looked back. In TL now but headed back to Manila soon, Have some biz in TL and friends here but still enjoy.

The filipinas say that stuff because they actually DO care and actually DO want you to have a good time. The thais say it but really mostly just want your MONEY! LOL Thailand wins in every way over the Phils, except for the ladies. The ladies have been so nice and accomodating that they win over the Thai girls and gives the Phils the edge. IMO

Was in Manila for the typhoon, that **** was crazy... Rain torrents, then wind about 80 mph (eye) then more torrential rain. Once the eye was over us I was like "is this a typhoon?" Looked at animated map and was like "ill be damned"... Still went out after rain and wind beat me back 3 times. Still went out at 4am!

I tipped a bargirl... Ok I tipped em all. Im not fat and over 60, and they did not ask but they gave such great service I had to give em trike/moto fare, and a good slap on the ass on the way out the door. I gave one chick multiples in Manila, that was a great night. oh we're not supposed to be talking about that. ok end of shameless plugs...

Royal Amsterdam is now called Central Hotel, and lost most of the charm it once had, great location though. Lewis Grand is where you want to stay, standard room $100/night. Internet is quick and reliable, even have a 'technician' if you have any problems.

Pacific Breeze - is decent, pool, internet, doesn't feel so dingy. $50 a night or less and not exactly on the main street so not much noise, but still 1 min walk from the action..

I recommend Pacific Breeze. They even answer emails, which is rare in RP.

I would say NO as well. Rent is 1k or less for decent 1 bedroom, short term rental in makati. that leaves you 6k for whatever you need/want. A night in burgos is easily a $100bill or more depending on nego skills and drinking habits.

If you are not in Makati then everything is cheaper.

thats a personal question on the girls pots, which is why ive told you at least 10 times to go to each place and then decide for yourself

lots of guys prefer thai girls, others PI, only you can know which ones you will like more

go to angeles for a few days, go to pattaya for a few days, then decide where you want to stay, or do 3 weeks in PI leave right before your visa is up, do 3.5 weeks in thailand, and another 3 weeks in PI

At the end of the day it will come down to personal preference.

However my take on Thai vs. PI chicks is this (Based on over 500 Thai chicks about 35ish PI chicks).

Thai chicks are cleaner(personal hygiene wise), Are dirtier in the sack, dress better, know how to put on make up properly, and have better hair styles, making them hotter overall imo Are cuter and more endearing, funnier, more submissive(kinda still in the cute category)

PI birds have bulging eyes and look 5 years older then they really are. No wonder they use the word haggered so much here 90% of them look like knackard old ponies ready for the glue factory. Ok I will admit there may be a few rounder bums around but it in no way makes up for the short fall in all other areas.

PI birds have one thing most guys seem to like, they speak english well (for the most part that is). Funnily enough that's also a turn off for me. To me when they rattle on in that sickly twisted American accent I just want them to shut the **** up. Id rather hear the cute soft kahh kahhh from a thai than the twoddle these things come out with.

AC is a very poorly watered down version of Pattaya, it is tame to say the very least. They line dance to 80's rock wearing a bikini over underwear lol wooo how hardcore! There are no lesbian shows, no naked jacuzzi bars, oil shows or any of that good stuff. There are no decent night clubs, no (or very few) beer bars stuffed full of hookers (like Pattaya has in abundance). There are no freelancer/trendish bar/semiclub things like Pattaya has, and now where near as good after hour proper nightclubs either. It doest have anything like soi 6, which is about 50 dirty **** shops with 30 birds in each all in one soi. Where they have your **** out before you even get the beer you ordered.

There is nowhere near the same amount of nice places to eat either, no beach and none of the other 1000 things there is to do in patts if you are bored of in the daytime.

AC is where 60yo retired sexpats go to die.

Oh and it has live poker.

Oh
Spoiler:
and i love it




FYI K2 To **** the hottest birds in BKK will cost you in excess of 10k per pop so doing that for 90 days would certainly hurt the wallet.
