duke007 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I thought I would share a few pics of Boracay Island with you folksthat I took a few weeks agoI have been to the LOS beaches of Jomtien, Lamai, Patong, Hua Hin, Koh Larn etc inthe past but Boracay beach is the cleanest and best by far imho, it was great We flew from Manila to Caticlan Airport on a twin prop plane which isabout a 1 hour FlightYou can also fly to Kalibo Airport for half the price but then thatsalmost 2 hours away from the Ferry Port Sorry about the quality of the pictures but nevermind 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke007 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 And then its a few minutes on a motor trike tothe Ferry port and then a 10-15 minute crossing on the Boat to Boracay When we set foot out of Caticlan Airport there were guys touting to take us to the Island, prices started between 1200 & 1500 pesos but after a bit of negotiation I settled for 1000 pesos ( 750 baht) which included everything from the taxi trike from the Airport, the Ferry fees + taxes and the trike ride direct to our accomodation which was on Station 1, the guy came with us all the way to make sure everything was ok, I thought it was good value in the end as we did not have to do anything (like queue up for tickets..etc) and as it was our first time made it so much easier 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdogg Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Sitting under one of those beach umbrellas with a San Miguel Lite looks quite inviting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke007 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Sitting under one of those beach umbrellas with a San Miguel Lite looks quite inviting! And Red Horse PD The Booze... Red Horse was around 400 Pesos (300 Baht) for a Bucket of 6 bottles at most bars at night and 2 for 1 price up to 8pm which worked out at 40 Pesos (30 baht), San Miguel was priced the same You also got two plastic cups of full of Rhum & Coke for 150 Pesos of which a percentage went to support Lifeboats, trust me there was not a lot of Coke in the drink too (75% Rhum at least) Then there was the Asian version of a B52 and a Manchester one The Manc version consists of Bailey's, Vokda & Tia Maria/Cointreau and comes in a lot larger glass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke007 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 The Food We mostly ate at the Bom Bom Bar where I found the food to be both excellent and very inexpensive, err indoors like it too It was also nicely washed down with several bottles of Red Horse 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JustSumGai Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 exellent. Pic quality was FINE excepting the few dark one of the beach. I'm very curious to see how you found the ladyboy action there and accomodations, cost vs LOS etc. Looks like maybe Phils is in for return of the Duke :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke007 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 The Entertainment Apart from eating we mostly drank at the Bom Bom Bar too, thats because we felt comfortable there, the staff were friendly and we enjoyed the different acts they had on which are mostly Reggae oriented, the cups of rhum sure help put you in the mood too There is a lot of stuff going on at other bars but we liked this place 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke007 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 There was another place we went to that had Fire Dancer's including two femboys I will admit the one with the black shorts got me a little hot under the collar btw.... the missus took the close up pic of the guy with bulge in his shorts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke007 Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 We took a trip to Ariel's Point one day which has increased in price to 2000 Pesos per person (1480 baht), it may seem a lot but that includes the Boat ride to and back from it which is about 30-40 minutes, all the food and drinks (which are given to on the boat too), kayaking, snorkeling gear etc etc You stay there for about 3 to 4 hours and its a fun afternoon out where you get to meet and become friends with other folk, its worth it imho You meet up at a place on Station 1 beach (forgot the name) which was 10 minutes walk up the beach and on this particular day there were two boats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke007 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 There are 3 diving/jump boards which are 5 metres, 10 metres & 15 metres After having eaten, necking a few Red Horse and several shots of neat Vodka and Rhum I decided that the 5m was my limit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke007 Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 The Food and booze flowed for a few hours , we were befriended my two Pinay girls who were totally hooked by my missus when they were told she was a ladyboy, I loved the expression of shock on their faces , in fact one the girls even said to her that she would liked to be "boom boomed" by her 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
