also stated that protecting one’s valuables starts with oneself and that tourists should properly secure their belongings, not flash large amounts of jewelry or cash,
can't be said better, quite often I see people buying something trivial and pulling wad of notes for all to see to pull 50 or 100 out of it instead of using old vinapu advice of keeping small denominations separate from big ones. Why somebody strolling along Beach ( or is it Bitch ? ) Rd needs to carry wallet with 12 credit cards like safety deposit box was never invented ?

34 minutes ago, CallMeLee said:I am liking this math... Very spot on!
If I may add, there's some "incidentals" that may have been avoided because of the extended LT arrangement:
1. Transport back and forth the bar
2. Mama/Papasan/Waiter tip
3. Drink and/or tip for the boy you summoned to sit next to you but have to send them back to the rotation.
4. Time - I think this is the most essential especially for those of us that have limited time in Thailand. Less time searching and more time enjoying!
here my answers:
1. since I stay in the area rarely I need transport to hotel and legend that boys are reluctant to walk is gross exaggeration .
For going back I almost never give money understanding and if they ask, explaining that they got enough already.
When one boy protested he doesn't have 'small money' i pulled wad of few red notes and offered to change brown bill. Shockingly he did not take an offer, ever more shockingly since then we met at last 5 times and he never asked for tax money.
2.I almost never tip mamasan , exceptions are if they were helping to translate, rarely necessary or I know mamasan for long time( like Lucy at Banana or Screwboys mamasan ) and I'm in spending mood or I asked mamasan to bring boy who is not working today, in short once every two trips.
3. that may happen but even if I dint not like boy much I would consider that money well spent
4. 127.38% agreed, for me main advantage of long time is to wake up in the morning next to warm body with dick firmly attached. It's why I hate when they deprive me that small life pleasure by asking to go home earlier

-7,000 baht tip per day
- Bar penalty fee for 5 days 5*500: 2,500 baht
- In addition, daily travel, food and entertainment costs were also my responsibilityat first look it seems excessive but only to those who go to Bangkok planning to stay celibate.
More ambitious whorers may be inclined to take massage during day and off boy long time at night.
even in Saphan Kwai 1.5 hr session would be 500 +1000 tip, that's 1500.
Guy for overnight will be at least 3000 as I doubt even on Grinder in Bangkok suitable suitor go for much less. I don't count off fee because you already paid but likely guy will be from bar so we need to add 500 for your drink
so we have 1500+3500= 5000 as likely absolute minimum including label 'cheap Charlie" sticked to your forehead.
I my opinion adding 2000 to that and having basically guy available 7/24 in exchange is not a bad turn of events.
Sure if arrangement is for few days,
boy may settle for less in exchange for not worrying about business for that period.
As for daily expenses you mentioned they are always part and parcel of such arrangements and it goes without saying that it will be us who finance those although occasionally this or that guy may insist on paying his own meal or drink, be it chewing gum or small bottle of water in 7/11

no, because if boy did not have 1 baht change it would result in loss of face for him

I went to Thailand last week, for the first time during the Songkran festival.
................
and bars in the evening (moonlight, banana bar and Jupiter bar)
we can use more elaborate report mind you , lol
..................
as for visiting bars with boy my generaI comment , not related to your post situation, will be that before we take boy to bars it's better to make sure he really wants to go there as for many, if not majority boys that is doubtful attraction.
After making that mistake few times I got actually enlightened by the boy who told me afterward " I went with you only because I knew you wanted".
That is by no mean universal, few times we went to bar because it was boy's idea, not mine and my first ever visit to Tawan was because Arena boy I was passing by with , suggested we go in because he wants to see ' big boys".

Fully agree. I almost exclusively off long time and situation when long time is cut shot happens from time to time.
My view on that is more cynical - almost always when they ask for early departure it's premeditated and decided well before we closed door. They agree for long time to secure the deal and then invent some idiotic make -believe to let them go. Roommate needs the key, motorbike parked in wrong spot, sister calling from bus terminal and needs to be picked or they are hungry and promise to return in 10 minutes ( with that my experience is 50/50 i.e every seconds case they return after short while.).
No sense to resist just let them go and try to extract some monetary concession. Some guilt ridden even offer substantial discount but there are assholes who are ready to make scene if they don't get fully agreed tip.
I don't resist but remember and next time they approach me for an off, they and all around may hear 'no' and explanation why. But I show ,mercy' to those business oriented who suggested lower tip in exchange for early leave.
No need to dramatize as that is fairly rare .
Friend who rather never offs long time has opposite problem , guys are suggesting they want to stay till morning, usually hoping for bigger tip I guess. In his case it's boys who are disappointed .
When we compare our proverbial notes I still think asking for an extension happens bit more often than deceitful cutting session short.

Vice versa seems more popular 😝
it does happen indeed and usually malicious intend is involved while other way around is more pleasant as it involved more of good will if not outright mutual attraction.

Although persistent nagging thought keeps on reminding me that I will regret not having maximised my time while in Thailand.
............
I scanned my memory trying to recall if my room is ready for long time (i.e.valuables, etc are secured) and after weighing my options, agreed to Tan's suggestion.
and for sure you would regret, one doesn't not go to paradise to watch CNN
......................
better option is to tidy and secure things BEFORE one sets off for bars and we really never know whom we bring and for how long. Converting short time to long is popular occurrence.
It could be pretty awkward to start hiding things while guest it there. On another hand no need to be oversensitive over issue as theft by boys is very rare but as they say "God guards you when you guard yourself"

I'm staying 2 months in Pattaya next trip
I'm going to get bored.
I will do a side trip a few days only maybe maximum 4 days
Im thinking places I have never been.
If you like ruins go to Sukhotai and/ or Kamphaeng Phet. I was there for 3 days in January and missed it before even my plane took off from local airport.
easy to get with two daily flights from Swampy.
Take boy with you so your bed stay warm

Ever since then, I avoid such food stands
I on another hand buy some grilled snacks from than on almost daily basis and never ever had a problem. I guess Hong Thong helps ( for uninitiated or sophisticated, Hong Thong is cheapest Thai 'whisky"). I always try to have small bottle of it at hand just in case some guest will visit me to check my stamp collection or something
