No point in interacting with people who aren't arguing in good faith.
Whataboutery (look it up) is the key word here.

Please don't feed the trolls.

Only Thai nationals, unfortunately, unlike MRT where it's everyone over 60 regardless of nationality.

Please don't feed the trolls.

I cant believe people still bite. But only me who thinks trolling about cancer is a tad to much......

Not sure on Android, but right now, no app on an Iphone can access your contacts unless you explicitly give that app access to them.
You have to read all the messages, though, one by one, carefully and I always say no to everything: location tracking, internet activity tracking, contact access, camera access, microphone access, etc. unless I need that app to access one of these features.
Also, don't give the app your phone number, just an email address which you have opened just for this sort of trash use.

It might be worth pointing @young11 to a certain Massage Explainer for more details of how it all works 😉

Very sensible indeed. Never  throw away documentation until you are on the next phase of your travels!
Some airports even demand your baggage receipts before you can take the bags.
(The boarding pass inspection is probably because a recently arriving flight was a stopover that didn't terminate there, so they need to be certain that confused passengers  to wherever didn't get off in the wrong country. It happens.)

or his hypochondria?

Their nicknames (in order) are Od, Kem, Kay, Day, Name, Ming, Net, Arm, Suea (Tiger), King

The proverbial hundredmillion-dollar hamburger. I wonder who was on board? 🤔

"The Men of Thailand" 7th edition from 1999 lists A-Bomb, Ambiance, Le Cafe Royale, BBB, Toy Boys, which all still exist in some form.

Ye
Yes, Gun did work as masseur at Ambiance pre-covid.

No is not, nevermind it,s gay scene it,s one of world greatest cities and can occupy you 8 days, a, week  25 hours a day
Yes I do. While trip preparation is on of joys of traveling don, t over do it. One bar boy smile or massage one flex may derail your plans, no matter how carefully crafted. 
Decide how many days you want to spend in each location, book your accommodation, take twice as  much money and only half intended goods and leave rest to a fate. 
As for hotels most advice above, while well intended steers you toward more upscale  properties. In my opinion splurge on guys instead. 
My favorites in Bangkok, economical by by no means shabby are Raya, Furama Sathorn Xclusive and Baan Silom, rooms not claustrophobic like Quarter Silom but spacious and no problem with guests. 
In Pattaya in Boyztown area Copa and Classrooms, in Jomtien Zing and The Venue. 
If you opt for Agate check their own website as rates may be lower than on most booking sites which is by no means  universal. 

Bit off topic and not immigration but I like going to the museums during the quiet days and most of them are free for 60 year olds and over, just need to produce proof of age (photo of passport is ok), others may just reduce price from 200 baht to 50 baht. 

65 and they check I'd for that purpose

The Japanese lack of street names is logical (to them!): "why would you want to label the empty spaces between buildings?" 😵
Because of this, they have small district police stations all over urban areas, whose main job is to give directions: https://jref.com/articles/koban-japanese-police-boxes.199/
"If you want to know the way, ask an omawari-san".

You're expecting consistency and correctness. TiT so it isn't going to happen.
People make mistakes when transliterating unfamiliar languages. Google Maps regularly gets things wrong outside of California, and is slow to correct them. Given a mixture of letters and numbers that it doesn't recognise, it's likely to guess that you want what someone else recently searched for. There is no single satisfactory romanization of Thai, so everybody makes up their own. (There's an official romanization but it isn't satisfactory: it doesn't even distinguish short and long vowels, never mind tones) The 'r' sound is fluid. It's a marker of the Bangkok prestige dialect but in other parts of the country it becomes 'l' or disappears altogether.  And at the end of a word it's pronounced 'n' . In this case the Thai spelling has no 'r' symbol ร, so 'intramara' is just wrong.  'inthaamara' would be a better representation (h after t means it's aspirated - a 'breathy' T, not the English "th" sound) and the second vowel is long. A canonical address would be something like "<plot number>/<house number> thanon <street name> soi <number>" but there are many variations HTH 🙃
