I had to laugh about this. I saw a food stand feeding boys with my favorite chicken breast on a stick- buttered and seared. The first night I pointed to the chicken and the man came around and grabbed it for me and grilled it. One piece - 40 baht. As I was eating this I see boys come up and grab the sticks of various and bring it to the guy cooking. So the next night I reached inside the glass and grabbed TWO sticks of chicken and handed it around to the man. Doing this I was only charged 20 baht for TWO. One quarter the price.

If you are staying by chance the Malaysia Hotel I remember the hotel taxi sign listing Grand Palace costs, Saranrom Park, etc. I wonder if that is still offered.

Cocktails at Winner Bar would have been fun after that

Well I've never noticed an owner there but it seems he's providing a valuable service. A place for some gays to work (and sleep?) also. Or maybe some are renting a room somewhere. Or both. The cocktails are a plus also.

I actually got an email from a friend living there at Nice boys. He wanted money to put wood over broken windows in his room...

Please send us a message if you are interested for more information. I was there a few weeks ago and tipped every boy in the bar at when I stopped in. I am sure they could use the business now also.

Guess I am a little conservative when it comes to people watching(me) in public. One good thing about this newer setup is less boys taken to a room where unsafe anal is received. Maybe fewer will get sick and die. And a few boys will make some money. Even annoying waiters. Not an easy thing to do in Thailand.

Also the price went up. 800 baht for two drinks 250 each and waiter helped himself to 300 baht drink? I was watching-no check for his in my check bin. Two drinks 400 baht each? next time I go “what you want?” me : different waiter or I leave

New Annoying Mamasan Was there last night. Have acquired a new “friend” . A new annoying mamasan/ older waiter. “You want another drink?” He comes out with a drink for HIMSELF. Gave him a dirty look with another waiter and boys watching. Then I got ANOTHER waiter to get me another drink. DARN - did I forget to tip him?

Went last night. They were having a birthday party for a waiter. Little crowded with about 7-8 customers. At least I can see how my friends party was like - I couldn’t attend that one as I was flying back. Made sure to tip the older kathoey waitress. I don’t think she gets many tips. Photos are from June 2020.

Hell I was there late that night. Boy had birthday. I told him “birthday tomorrow- you are 5 years old”. I was kidding but correct. Tipped 5 year old twice

I remember LCR prices for their laundry prices. Not much difference
