Exploring Clark Angeles City, Philippines: Real Life in the Red Light District

I have shared a travel guide to Angeles City, which has sparked a lot of discussion. Many people compare it to Pattaya, so I decided to visit it again in depth to reveal the true face of Angeles City from a more objective perspective. I recently returned from a trip to Clark and Bohol, and found that Clark has changed a lot. Angeles City, as a small town in Clark, has a similar relationship with Manila and Clark as Bangkok and Pattaya. It was once a base of the US Air Force, which gave birth to the red area of ​​​​Angela City, which is quite similar to the historical background of Pattaya.



The girls in Angel City come from all over the Philippines, and most of them come from economically backward areas, such as Bulacan and Samar around Clark. Compared with the nightclub girls in Thailand, their lives are more difficult. The basic salary of many bar girls is only about US$260 in RMB, and even with other income, the total monthly income is only between US$600 and US$9,000.

Although the overall appearance of Filipino girls may be slightly inferior to that of Thai girls, their face shapes are diverse, and there is always one that will attract you. Moreover, aesthetic fatigue may be a problem in Thailand, but in Angeles City, you may find a different sense of freshness. The traffic in this town is a little chaotic, and the entertainment options are relatively limited. But surprisingly, some bars here open at 10 am. Imagine that you can go to the bar after breakfast to choose a girl to accompany you for the day. Isn’t it a brand new experience?

Due to the limited entertainment options, the purpose of seeking pleasure here is more direct. The bar culture also reflects this. Most bars are designed to allow guests to choose quickly. Unlike the beer bars all over the street in Pattaya, the walking street in Angel City is mainly composed of bars and nightclubs. In terms of price, a complete set of massage and sex processes costs about US$70. And because there are fewer tourists, the selected girls often do not have a second chance to receive other guests at night.

It is worth noting that the price of hotels of the same level in Clark is 30%-40% higher than that in Pattaya. And the catering consumption is not low, at least US$10-20 per person. In recent years, the bars on the walking street are undergoing changes. European and American bars are gradually withdrawing, and Korean capital has begun to enter. This has led to the bar style and the choices of girls gradually moving closer to Asian aesthetics.

In terms of entertainment, in addition to bars and massage, nightclubs are also a good choice. I especially recommend the newly opened Hammer nightclub, which has a warm atmosphere, moderate prices, and many beautiful girls. In general, although Angeles City has its unique charm, there are also some things to pay attention to, such as avoiding buying drugs, not chatting up street girls casually, and paying attention to the safety of your property.
