    They did it this summer when I made my "every few years I have to check out Tawan" visit

    Only few visitors and 2 guys for chuck wow. They collected money for first guy and guy came. Then they collected for second guy but not enough so 2nd guy did not come. But they did not give the money back ... not really nice.

    Will go there again, but my visiting interval increased by a few years.

    This one happened few times, when less people in the audience. But at least one guy came and got the tips. The OP story on day 1, none of the guy cummed due to low tip despite large crowd. Quite demotivating.

  2. Not sure about thailand norm, but here in malaysia, we dont contract a company for aircon maintenance. At least most people i know here dont do that. We just called in service company whenever the aircon need to be serviced and they usually will come within a day or two, or if u call in the morning and they arent busy, same day. 

    So if thailand is the same, probably she cant find one since you probably want a company that do a maintenance contract while her husband usually just do service as on call basis? Thats probably why she didnt recommend her husband's company? Just a guess.

    Mixed shop.

    They exploit the fact that the vast majority of shops in Silom/Surawong don’t require minimum tips. 

    Classic Cheap Charlie behavior. And it’s consistently on display.

    I've patronized Prime and would be embarrassed to tip less than 500. 

    For me, silom/surawong area is a given. Min 500 is reasonable to me as well. But alas, even very well established prime wouldnt dare put higher min tips, as to a thai, or well known customers, it always means HE a given. Thus why i believe normal massage places tend to put low min or no tips guide at all. 

    If u received more than just massage, i do believe 500 or higher is warranted, more if any sexual favor involved. Again, back home, when this happen in a legit place, which again, rarely do, masseur will brings up expected tips and only proceed if agreed. This also happened in thailand on several occasions. 

    I wonder if your friend masseur did communicate the expected tips since he is providing service beyond massage?

    Today he had three customers: two from China who gave him total of 300 baht and one from US who gave him four times that amount.

    Is the massage center mixed center or legit center? Even in prime, minimum tips is 100/200 baht. So if its a legit center, 300 baht or 150 a customer tips might be something a chinese customer think is ok for a normal massage. 

    If its an obvious extra service massage place, most place will have high min tips, starting 800/1000 usually. The higher end of these usually not spelt out, which can be a bad or a good thing for masseurs, depending on customer. Of course if a center didnt have any min tips, it can be also be a good or bad thing depends on customer. Obviously in this exact example, its not so good for 2 of his customer but good for the one. 

    Back home, for normal massage center here, no such tips are compulsory, though personally, ill usually tips if im satisfied, depending on how long the massage was and how happy i am, and how likely im coming back for the same masseur. Almost always, this results in better experience, or at least equal excellent massage for subsequent visits. Some, rarely though, evolved to a more sensual massage, reaching further to the forbidden area, in which, higher tips is given lol.

    I guess, but Tawan was always the place where one could go to find a particular type - rugged bodybuilders who still had an edge to them, not all smoothed out in the way of Moonlight's models. Now it's just more or less like the other bars .. 

    The ripped muscular guys who are still competing or kept their shape are mostly freelance and comes to bar if and when they are free or in need of money. So it can be a stroke of luck to find them if your star arent aligned. If u already have a person in particular u wanted to meet from previous encounter, maybe u can ask mamasan if the guy still with the bar or totally off the scene. Better yet, mamasan might call the guy for you to check if he is free, in which case, he deserve a tip hehe.

    Many of the good ones have other jobs, PT, gym owner, etc, so they might not come everyday, especially during low season.

    I lugged my heavy bag down a stairs and hurt my back. It wasn’t worth it.

    When i have heavy luggage with me and im taking the train, i always use the lift/elevator or escalator. Always watch for the signs though as the location might be hidden

  8. Songkhla is the state where hatyai city is located. There is a direct train from padang besar border to hatyai. Hatyai is a popular tourist destination for most malaysians. And if his hubby stays in penang, id say its much easier to meet from hatyai than bangkok and much cheaper too. Direct flight between bangkok and penang is scarce and expensive, and the alternative with a stop at KL will certainly not be quicker. I know someone who lives in penang and travel to hatyai almost once a month. 

    If u have to choose a place in southern thailand to stay, hatyai, songkhla makes sense.

    I agree  it's unfair but I think their reasoning is that non-resident is not spending money locally but contributing to economy of his country of residence instead

    If the pension fund takes a portion of money from sales tax or other form of taxes that only resident can contribute, i agree. But if the fund is totally funded by contibution, then it is unfair.

  10. Why do most retiree solely depends on national pension scheme alone? Nationwide pension was never meant for you to be able to live a comfortable live, its for you to be able to live without falling into poverty. Anything more, than it will become unsustainable or would require a bigger chunk of contribution from your salary. 

    So it would make sense to also have several other sources of income to support a good lifestyle, especially if you plan to continue to enjoy hiring boys from time to time. Not sure about what the options are in your own country but we have several annuity, private retirement scheme, as well as several low risk unit trusts or fixed deposits that can supplement your expenses. Those who have rental properties can also make use of that income if there is positive cash flow. Stock market maybe not so attractive at this point of time as retiree night not want to risk their nest so late in life. 

    I might be simplifying things, if u have a quite stable, dividen generating funds, saving enough in those funds would make a great source of income as well. Let says  a fund that gives 5% dividen annually, if your monthly expenses are 50k baht, you would need at least 15million baht in the fund. Of course you would want to have more than that to cater for lower dividen, emergency expenses etc.

    UK pension freeze on the other hand is unfair unless they already gave early notice, as early as possible, with option to opt out.

    Also found this article about pension funds in other countries ranked.

    I don't like it  but getting tired , no , once a trip is almost rite of passage to go through lost key stories. It's almost included in price

    During my last trip, one of the guy i took told me upfront that he will not be able to eat breakfast with me but will stay me until breakfast time. He told me he owns a gym and need to unlock the gym early in the morning. I was ok with it but in the morning he suddenly says he is ok to eat breakfast with me. During breakfast, i asked about the gym, and he said he asked a friend to open it for him. 

    So boys can also surprised us sometime by staying longer. Rare but very appreciated for sure.

    There's a betting pool going on about when it's going to be your turn,  on one of the private member boards.

    I'm not as optimistic as others, since I know you.... But I've picked "accident" while drunk within 2 years. Some of the other ones are quite creative.....

    Can i join the private member boards? Lol
