    Pattaya City has installed signs instruction pedestrians to raise their hand when wanting to cross the road at zebra crossings. This may seem unusual or even humorous at first glance, but it is a serious attempt to address pedestrian safety concerns in some areas. The concept behind this approach is to encourage drivers to yield to pedestrians by visually signalling their intention to cross.

     

    Time will  do it's magic. I recall very well when similar idea was raised in country where my sister lives, it was met with laughs at first but after a while it caught on. First pedestrians were shocked that cars stopped, now they are shocked when they don't and this is vary rare occurrence indeed.

    Of course hefty penalties and their zealous enforcement sped up that implementation of that module of educating  public, both driving and walking.

    HELLO WELCOME! 

    Tomorrow night I will try and off one of these Tawan guys. My plan is to approach them and say "Are you from Tawan?" and negotiate from there. I am hoping they take 2500 THB for a no sex muscle worship session. Honestly, I just want to massage one of their bodies. My likes are particular. I find that rate reasonable but expect to be taken for much more. I'll report back.

    I think you are right 2500  for short time is  quite generous  considering that they even don't have bar to work in now.

    I wish you luck  and waiting for report. I always maintain that Tawan  bay was most friendly of them all and  their boys were very approachable.

    These responses are eye-opening! I'm better equipped now and will off someone again soon. Sounds like I should head to Pattaya- muscular guys easy to find there?

    not as easy as Bangkok, Pattaya is rather twink kingdom but you will find some hunks in BoyzBoyzBoyz, Dreamboys and Xboys. Forget about Sunee but in passing I saw few hunky guys in Jomtien too.

    ! Hopefully he doesn't feel bad getting a lower tip on the second round, I will be a repeat customer this month anyway. I'll offer 1500 next.

    he won't be feeling bad because 1500 is generous tip anyways but chances are he will mention that last time you gave 2000 and may ask whet is wrong. Happened to me  with boy in Maha massage soi 6, bit of awkward situation. Me being me answered plainly ' nothing wrong with you but with me, I used to be generous but now I'm stingy" .

    That sufficed for explanation and even generated smile

    Thank you as well! I haven't tried Long Time yet, maybe in the future since the pricing doesn't seem far off from what I'm paying for Short Time. I'm also unaware of how long a boy expects to stay.

    ......

    My encounters have all been an hour or less, but that's because most have been disappointing.

    Long time I'm big fan of is not for everybody though. You and boy must be both comfortable with each other and higher amount of trust is required. After all each one of you is with stranger during possibly deep sleep stage. At times you may sense that boys may show some hesitation

    I tell them always that long time is till breakfast and it's mine breakfast , not theirs,  even if it's my habit always offer them  a breakfast as listening to my snoring may be hunger inducing. In exchange nothing beats waking up to a warm body beside or even better wrapped around me. 

    If boy will start making excuses in middle of the night that he needs to go outside because is hungry or needs to smoke, no sense to chain him  but definitely not a time to pay him agreed fee. Give them your short time rate and point that rest of tip they get in the morning - chances are  they wont return and really - you don't want them to with such an attitude.

    Try not to go long time with boy you are taking for first time as chances are you guys ay not be compatible.

    Research phase, I'im telling myself.

    That is proper attitude instead of getting bitter feeling you are ripped off. Costly lesson with that Screwboy though.

    Can someone please chime in with what you usually pay (2500 THB is the lowest I've been offered, upwards to 6000 THB- no, I didn't book them) 

    I rarely do short time preferring massage to that but in Bangkok I would not pay more than 2000  unless guy is already time tested by me  then I may throw 500 more. There are few guys  I paid more but  those were long short times 3-5 hrs but those are exceptional specimens either body or chemistry wise. 

    Long times 3000-5000 which is my upper limit for tip , 3500-4000 most common. Only once I paid 6000 but that way kind of good bye send off as I decided not to off him again even if I did many times in the past. Instead of haggling down  I decided to part ways on generous side. 

    In Pattaya  1500 st , 2000, sometimes 3000 LT 

        

  7. I'm not interested in Songkran this year but when combing through that Grindr just for fun I noticed that most visitors in BKK are declaring they will be leaving on 16th or 17th , so my guess is the same like reader's above. 

    Reliable sources in the know are saying that soi 4 is water dry area in that period

    Not as old as most of you here,

    I, for one,  take consolation in fact that Troy is older than me, 555 ( ha, ha, ha).

     

    As for communication with boys fortunately rarely we discuss with them merits of Thailand adopting riel as currency or Thai politics  during II World War so it's fairly easy. They more or less know what we want and we more or less know whet they expect in exchange.

    What I found handy to break the ice is to take some interest in  them. Even if language barrier prevents us from asking  what city they are from or do they have siblings etc I always try to point on something they are  wearing ( shoes, watch, t-shirt , tattoo) and thump it up showing I pay attention to them , not only their bulge.

    It may even pay in some benefit, when I asked  boy from now defunct New Twilight what simple tattoo on his chest means ( names of his parents ) he proclaimed " ok, long time ok ' even if declined idea just two sips of cola before.

    But I wonder if financial stress and/or homesickness sometimes leads to violent or just generally nasty behaviour from those who had to work to contain their emotions at home.

    even if that is the case , it's not excuse to an any degree  for getting physical.

     A German man, accompanied by his Thai wife, entered their bar and ordered beers. However, when presented with the bill after finishing their drinks, the man allegedly refused to pay, claiming the bar had inflated the charges. Despite the bar’s explanation of the bill, which was around 1,000 baht,

    that's steep , we are not talking Jupiter or Moonlight after all . Still not excuse to behave as he did

     but the effort is less today, which can be said for almost any worker in any line of work....
     

    That's true, with ever bigger and bigger  slice going up to people higher in food chain and cuts everywhere in the name of effectiveness, no wonder though that it's happening.

    Last night I went to another bar and the mamasan just could not understand I was saying #55 even though English is my native language, I speak professionally and I have a deep and clear voice.

    that may be your problem. English is not my first language and I speak with heavy accent , I noticed very often that  people in the same situation understand me better than native English speakers. 

    In Thailand is handy to know that 5 is "ha"' so "ha, ha' is not only laugh but also may mean 55.

    Also, unlike other bars, their guys don't wear a number so identifying them as they zoom past (mind you they work the stage with such speed!) is a challenge. Any explanation why they chose not to have a number system?

    From what I recall from Januray  they did not wear numbers during first walkabout but most of them did during second and last one. Those who did not wear then  were already booked or just show boys not available for take out.
