Off to the Philippines

[Olddaddy]

I will be off to the Philippines🇵🇭 for a week tomorrow before coming back to complete my holiday in Pattaya/ Bangkok and staying with PeterRS

My boyfriend plans to go visit his parents so I will be alone a few nights in Manila 

It's a bit scary actually 🫣😱

Maybe I will stay in a hotel instead of an Airbnb so I can feel safe

'It's a bit scary actually 🫣'

Scary for whom?

[Olddaddy]

I arrived in Manila  Philippines and already my Grindr is going flat out with both non money boys and money boys wanting 1000 pesos ( around 500 b)

🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Well I just couldn't keep up with the Grindr last night, beep after beep 🛎️🛎️

And these wernt money boys , well not that they mentioned money 

Didn't get any though , I ended up pissed drunk🍻 as an old fart 🥴🫩🫩

I'm starting to think that the Philippines ( Manila)  is cheaper than Thailand particularly Bangkok 

I was in a big bar playing with a live band tonight in Poblacion a suburb of Manila 

I got confused with the prices thinking that pesos are the same as Thai baht 

I paid 1299 pesos for this big tower of beer 🍺 🍺.

Which is around 650 Thai baht

Manila is cheaper than Bangkok 

I guess Cebu would be more expensive being a tourist city 

Manila takes sometime to get use to , it looks like Detroit in America

Food, Taxi/grab, hotels....no

Real cute guys that are "escorts" will ask about the same as Thailand....freelancers less.

If you go to a go-go type bar in Manila, they're more like fichero bars in Mexico, the mostly straight guys will milk you to buy overpriced drinks all night long, your bill won't be correct because they'll put more drinks than you really had, promising to have sex with you when they're off work and most won't, because they are really straight...or will quote you some ridiculous price, maybe 10% will really go and be worth it.

I stick between freelance and reasonably prices escorts there... lot's of free guys, but too much drama of looking for love (green card/visa).

I feel more "safe" if I'm by myself eg lonilesness , if I'm in a hotel I can talk to staff , I feel more .,..how do I put it ? ......"cared" for 🤗🤗....noticed ....in a Airbnb you only have the reception out the front 

I need to be moddycoddled ..to be hugged and noticed ..a good hotel will do that 

Having said that I have Airbnb vouchers so will probably stay in Makati 

I noticed many Gay bars🏳️‍🌈 last night once called TEDDY'S bar🧸🧸 🍺.but I didn't go in 

[Olddaddy]

The difference I noticed in Filipino vs Thai people are ..Filipinos are loud ...rude .....they think nothing of playing their YouTube without earphones on planes ,🛩️✈️ restaurants etc so everyone else can hear it .

They love noise beep beep, 

 

They let their kids run around screaming noisily scream 📢🔊🔕👂even the women scream 

Annoying constantly saying SIR on a twangy American accent 

I find THAIS 🇹🇭 more "chilled" if that's the word 

Oh fuck it ...im going back to Thailand 🇹🇭

If you don't like it ..... LEAVE!🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️leave !!

Since when are you alone with all those voices in your head?

[bkkmfj2648]

Maybe this Reddit list of top massage places frequented by the gay crowd in Manila could interest you?

It came up randomly on my Twitter (X) feed today.

@Olddaddy Has your stay been affected by power cuts? There is this Reuters article from 3 months back: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/philippines-warns-serious-power-cuts-heat-outages-strain-grids-2026-05-14/

Stayed the last few days in Dusit Thani Manila where the doorman says Sawatdee Kup as you enter 

Beautiful hotel 

[Olddaddy]

The rain has been relentless, flooding making it difficult to walk and drive around Manila 

Look.....if you don't like it .....leave !!.🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️
