RetiredJ9 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 ^^^ Bro, I will just be stopping over in Taiwan en route to somewhere else and my lay-off is a long 4 hrs. That's why I was hoping to look for electronic gadgets to shop while in the airport. Not practical to buy from Airport Electronic Shops, unless it is an Emergency, i would rather buy it here in Manila, at least have warranty. Better if you be able to pass by the electronics street in Taipei.. there the price is definitely cheaper. But have to window shop and compare price before buying. or if possible you have friends in Taiwan.. buy from PCHOME or Yahoo Bid. Yahoo Bid, be careful of swindlers posing as sellers.

RetiredJ9 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 There are lots of sites that can best detail the good spots and good ideas to visit Taipei Just 1 City would be more then enough to pre occupy your time to roam around. check this out http://www.taipeitravel.net/en/default.asp?pcode=2 Quote Link to comment
ashendarei Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thay have a place where only sell all elecronics and computer hardware. I go there via taxi. Suggest you ask the concierge in hotel as there is only one area in Taipeh. For food, try shabu shabu, with Hagen Daz ice cream for dessert. All you can eat. actually there are two areas. one is beside the ceasar hotel. to get here, you get off at the taipei main station. the other one is... hehe i forgot the name of the station near it. guanghua??? dunno if that's the right spelling though. if you can figure out how to go to these two places, you should compare prices.

TaDo1981 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Hi, we are going to Taiwan next week, do you have any suggestions on Hostels wherein we could just spend the night pagdating namin ng madaling araw, medyo nahihiya kasi kami sa offer nila na susunduin kami as we arrive. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
yesyeswhy Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Taipei is such a city area, yung 101 lang ang highlight. If you can still go to the outskirts, better. Mas marami makikita at magagawa. Quote Link to comment
Thomaso Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The night markets can also be recommended. Walking distance to 101 and good food too. Can be a good combo to watch sunset at 101 and then stroll around the night markets. Quote Link to comment
the riddick Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 mahal din pala eepc sa taiwan. i thought buy 1 take 1 dun i think may mga places din na mura ang bilihin, huwag ka lang pupunta sa mga main cities Quote Link to comment

blind06 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hello brothers, I'm staying now in Taiwan for a project engagement and just want to ask baka meron po may alam ng red light district dito? Rates, location, logistics etc - any po na pwede niyo po mai-share mga bossing. Hinahanap ko siya dito kaso mukhang mahirap kapag wala kang insider info. Salamat Quote Link to comment
vicious0812 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Red districts are all over Taiwan, especially now that prostitution is legal in Taiwan. Where are you in Taiwan. Are you in Taipei city. The best way to get to this districts is by way of a guide. If you can find a male filipino ofw that has stayed there more than a year .most probably,he knows how to get to these places. Or you can go to these 24 hr. spas. Some hotels have it. You can swim or relax at their pools. Then watch or sleep at their movie room. (Porn included) while watching there would be managers roaming around asking if you need company. Don't know the rates nowadays. So be sure to be ready.In Taipei, the most notorius red light district is in snake alley. There are casas operating there at the far end near the riverwalls or if you happen to stay in a hotel with male filipino chinese at the reception then you are in good hands. Quote Link to comment
Mad Damian Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Any advice to get to Taipei from the airport? May train or bus na? Last time punta ko (12yrs ago) taxi lang available. Quote Link to comment

Kung alam mo kung saan mga catholic church nanduon sila. 10 yrs.ago na nung nasa Taiwan ako siguro d bababa sa 50,000 ang pinoy ofw. That time 500 lang 12 hours stay sa spa at 2,000 nt sa chick pero 15 minutes lang per session paglumampas ka another bayad. ganun din sa casa 15 min/session parang 800 naman nung panahon na yun. D naman siguro magdoble ang prices ngayon. Quote Link to comment

I am actually located in Taipei and staying in one of the hotels near Taipei 101. Hindi ko pa nahahanap at napupuntahan yung Church - balita ko nga puro pinoy dun pag Sunday. I met some Filipino OFWs here pero parang nakakahiya magtanong - alam mo kasi hindi niya trip yung mga ganon na lugar. Wala pa akong nakikilalang OFW na 'mahilig' or pumupunta sa ganun hehe. Madami din ang nag memessage sa line/wechat about home massage - around 3000 NTD ang starting rate pero natatakot ako papuntahin sa kwarto baka scam/nakawan ako. Mag-research pa ako ng konti dito - Salamat! Quote Link to comment

Richmond Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Taiwan is a better alternative to Hong Kong these days food and lodging are cheap most of the attractions are free of charge and shopping are cheaper than Hongkong Quote Link to comment
Richmond Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Can someone recommend places to go from Kaishung port in Taiwan for 8hrs? as this is the only alloted time from Star cruises manila-laoag-kaishung-hongkong-manila. TIA. Hail a cab most taxi drivers there also doubles as tour guides they usually charge NT4000-4500 for an 8 hour tour Quote Link to comment
nytcr4wl3r Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Just came across news that Taiwan will be allowing visa-free entry for us visiting Pinoys by November. Always wanted to go to Taiwan, but lazy to get a visa. This makes it easier even just for layover lakwatsa, or a weekend. Quote Link to comment
