Londoner, Billy Houston -Clearly our partners appreciate the mature, good looking, suave individuals we have become. ha ha

My partner and I stayed at The Agate in June on our fourth visit. We are a 35 year old and 71 year old and we probably act like the 10 year married couple we are. Although straight couples and families stay there we have never received any odd looks or any reaction to make us feel uncomfortable. However perhaps if you are a guy my age staying with an 18/20 year old different lad every night iother guests might have a different reaction - which is not to suggest I condone their unfriendly stares in any way

I now prefer my beer with added ice. Just one more thing which suggests I have gone native.

I hope these offers work out along with nationality for the coach and those boys who are stateless. It would mean a really good ending for the lads who in the videos leave me amazed by their personalities, constant smiles etc

Going to/from the UK I always used to find Qatar competitive but for a while now the Middle Eastern Airlines have seemed expensive

Vinapu/a447a love in Thailand can work as several members on this site could confirm. I believe the way to have the best possible chance of a relationship working over the long term is to take it slowly (worth repeating take it slowly),which a447a seems to have done, look for a lack of monetary requests, get invited to the lads village to meet his family and something I believe is really important, get him a visa to stay with you for say 3 months in your home country when you will find out if you are really compatable and he can appreciate your life style and understand you work hard and do not spend as if you are on holiday

I can not be alone in wanting to know what happened to Mon Boy

Agreed, we stayed at The Agate a couple of weeks ago and there was no shortage of boys around in the evening

The age difference between me and my boyfriend who is now my UK registered Civil Partner is 37 years. During the ten years we have been together he has never been shy or embarrassed to be seen with me. During one of my holidays in Thailand 6 months after our first meeting he took me to his Isaan village to meet his family where he organised a party to coincide with my birthday and invited many of his village and old school friends. We have now lived in the village for 5 1/2 years. Like you Faranglaw I consider my guy to be wonderful and can not believe by good luck (to provide a bit of balance he is also leading a life he couldn't have dreamt of, so it works for both of us)

+1

I think it was Reader that recommended the book The Sympathiser, it is a great read

Oh no! My partner and I are spending a few days next week at The Agate Hotel in Jomtien. We were hoping for a quiet relaxing break

It all depends on the lifestyle you envisage. It sounds like you know Thailand so you should spend a few hours researching on the internet. Some ideas to start you off: Condo rent Services for Condo Do you want a car Running costs for car Salary for 2 beautiful Thai guys (hope they are not jealous) - remember they will probably also expect gifts if they are providing extra services. Medical policy Other regular medication Food - how often do you want to eat Western food Holidays Restaurant meals and entertainment - high end or on the street etc etc When you have your list, if you will be transferring money monthly, add 25% for potential adverse currency fluctuations.

+1 I really enjoyed the book which was available on my UK Kindle

Good luck. Be careful you do not let them enjoy the straight nightlife too much or they will insist on coming on your future visits.

Enjoy your holiday

I know neither a447a nor sglad. I was happy to see sglad back contributing as without a solid base of contributors forums contract and members loose interest. a447a obviously felt slighted by sglad's post whereas I read it as a humorous quip. History between the two may mean the remark was more malicious but I prefer to take it as humourous.

Londoner I have also sent you a pm.

I have just had a smile about the posts on discretionary tipping. I am a Brit and apart from the increasing practise of automatically adding 10% to a restaurant bill in the UK you tip what you feel the meal and service deserve. I tried doing this on visits to the US, it was not a pleasant reaction when the waiter/waitress felt I hadn't tipped enough. I have just returned from a trip to Vietnam with hubby and tips were not expected (sorry nothing to report on gay life as I was travelling with my better half)

Well this is a first, I would never have believed I would see a discussion on Gaythailand about High/Afternoon tea. We are a cultured crowd

I have warned my partner many times about this. Does he listen - what do you think ha ha

Choose June over April. I find Bangkok oppressive whenever I go so I would spend most of my time in Pattaya. Off topic - My partner and I live in Isaan, early April we are off to Vietnam for 10 days, the first five days we are in Hanoi where I believe the temperature will be about 10 degrees cooler than home - I can't wait

I agree with your your comments except for using Google Translate which usually gives me translations which make no sense.

Baht bus works for me when I'm in Pattaya. My journeys from Jomtien to Pattaya second road are covered with a frequent service

Post by Kokopelli ---- Posted 04 August 2016 - 04:13 PM I did arrive at BKK the other day. After the long walk/walkway you will pass the first Immigration Station, on your left, where most people head for; further along you will arrive at the Second Immigration Station, on your left. The Premium/Priority entrance is between these two on the left. It is easy to pass by especially if on the moving walkway which I was on. So had to exit the walkway and walk back a bit. For Seniors the age is 70 yo. Departing the aircraft (I was in Biz Class) I was given one of those "passes" for this Premium Lane and the Immigration agent did make a point of collecting it from me. Perhaps if a flight arrives at the other end of the terminal the entrances to Immigration would be on the right.
