Email I received -
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email, Regarding to the Hotel’s Visitor Policy;
- In case the customer accompany with the visitor to hotel the hotel will not charge any visitor chagre.
- But in case the customer call the visitor come to hotel alone and ask hotel's staff open main door, we have to charge 900THB,
-
They have changed the reception lay out (so I am told). The reception is what was in the cafe at the front. The entrance to the lifts is towed the back and had separate key card entry.
When I wrote to them I was told that as long as they didn't have to open the door then visitors were ok. If they had to let people in you had to pay. I will see if I can find the email and post it here.

I too would like to know about legit massage places. Are there any telltale signs that indicate whether a place is good for therapeutic massages?
-
Definitely checking out Winner Boys when I am in town. Presumably, boys are happy to travel (with me) back to Jomtien Complex?
What are the drink prices like?

I asked about their joiner policy and had this back from the The Siam Heritage Hotel. I remember reading that there was some uncertainty if this hotel allowed joiners -

for my trip later in the year I am thinking of booking the first week but then seeing where I end up. I have not done this before, I usually like to have a bit of a plan and book hotels in advance.
What are your experiences of booking in advance or just rocking up and sourcing a hotel on the day (or the day before)? Do you find there is a difference in rates that you will pay - can you get a good deal as they try to fill rooms or is it better to secure better rates in advance?

Planning a trip for later in the year when I can get some funds together.
I am thinking about spending some time in Hua Hin. Does anybody have any recommendations or thoughts on the place? Is there a scene/ any boys? What are the apps like etc etc.

At first, I thought I would like this bar, but seeing their offerings in Twitter, it’s a far cry from the tawan s&m experience.
What is the Tawan S+M experience? Does it still happen?

Quite possibly going to be in Vietnam in May.
Probably HCMC but also considering Da Nang.
Any post Covid hotel or AirBnb recommendations?

The words "ageless" and "timeless" mean something else: abiding, continuing, enduring, eternal, everlasting, immortal,
perennial, etc.
I think it might be better just to say it this way:They often look much younger than their actual age.
Those words also speak to the character and not just age. Yes, the sentence does talk about age, but not necessarily just "younger than their actual age".
The last guy I met on that trip looked 23 and was closer to 40.

I am planning a trip to LOS at some point between late April and the beginning of June.
Hotel prices, whilst not expensive seem to have risen a fair bit. There are still deals to be had for sure, but this time out there I am looking at apartment/ condo options that will help me keep the costs down.
If anyone has any recommendations that can post that would be really helpful. I am not particularly fussed where as my travel plans are very flexible, so any of the usual spots - BKK, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Ko Samui,
Being close to the boys would be good, at least not miles away from any action. Wifi is important.
Any thoughts?

I'd not listen to my advices about fancy meals
Simply not true. How else would Foodland have its many customers from these forums or would they have the awards that they do without your championing? I think not.

I have not had a 4 hand massage and is definitely on my list for next trip. Maybe one in a massage shop and see what happens and then if extra services are not forthcoming I will sort it out via the apps.
I have not used the @vinaputechnique of getting a boy to suggest the partner but it seems sound and sensible advice to me. As can be banked on from such a pro in all things Thailand related.

Given how little money taxis make it's quite likely the drivers just don't know where they're going. It's not like they have to pass that test London cabbies do
Last time I was on route to the Raya from the airport, the driver asked me to get in the front so he could look at the route on my google maps!

And these students are gay or day for pay or mb ?
There were a few mb, but in my experience, on the apps mainly just gay guys looking for some fun. The gay "scene" as it were is pretty small. There are a couple of bars and I did visit a go go place a few years ago (not sure if it is even still there) but it is not that kind of place in general.

Didn't know that. What's the attraction--besides the guys? Climate, cost of living or just being around like-minded folks?
It is a young, vibrant kind of place, which I was really struck by when I was there last April. After a week in BKK, I spent a week in Chiang Mai surprisingly I saw many more white faces there than i did in BKK. There is clearly a very large nomadic population there. I can see why - it is cheaper than BKK, the internet seems to be stable and fast (pretty much everywhere), loads going on, cheap eats and cafes a plenty, nightlife is varied and good - live music, high end cocktail bars and more middle of the road drinking holes. The contemporary art scene is also really good. Basically, all the things you tend to get in a university town.
I like Chiang Mai a lot. Of course the university also provides a ready supply of good looking, educated students to meet.

Does the Raya have a joiner policy? Says "only registered guests allowed in guestroom" on booking site. Do they just look the other way?
No problem with joiners at the Raya. The main entrance lifts go to all floors the reception is on floor 5 (I think) so you don't need to even go near them if your room is on a different floor.
At night the main (front) entrance shuts and you have to go through the guest car park and use that lift. There are "security" guys at the barrier but they won't give you any hassle at all - they didn't even look up from their phones when i brought boys back. At least that was the situation in April when I was there.
I liked the Raya.

Those would come up on the usual flight search websites.
They do, but they can be tricky to find, short of searching through airports across the continent. Choice of flights is also reduced post covid. For example, business class flights between Helsinki/ Stockholm and BKK were, pre Covid, really good options, considerably cheaper than UK options. They seem to have disappeared - still better than UK but not by nearly as much in terms of saving.
Paris on the other hand does seem to be considerably cheaper that it has been in the past when I have looked.
I have checked out a few locations but it may be that others have stumbled across hidden gems? I live in hope anyway.......

I fly this route and the problem is the aircraft they use, some of which have a very poor business class product. My return flight has just been changed from an A350 to a 777-200ER and now to a 777-300ER with the 'Caribbean' layout (as far as I can work out). On that aircraft business is 2 - 3 - 2. Check seatguru.com
I thought that might be the case. I can't actually find the flight i was looking at now to check!
It seems Turkish Airlines might have a bit of a sale on as they are offering very good options out of Paris in Business.

I recall a thread some years ago which informed readers that flying via Dublin was considerably cheaper than through London. This was because the passenger taxes at Dublin were far cheaper than LHR which has some of the highest passenger taxes anywhere. Just a thought.
Just had a quick look - yes, does look as if there are some good options there. I will investigate further....

Austrian Airlines was recommended to me before EVA was back in the sky. Change of plane in Vienna of course....plenty of choice if memory serves. Personally, I wouldn't mind a day or so in Vienna. I'm paying £2500 for an EVA trip in March and £3400 in July.
That's interesting to hear. I have some very decent fares with Austrian and wondered what they were like as an airline. I have flown Swiss a couple of times from London with a transfer in Zurich. I found that I do like that route, the transfer is really easy. I will look at Austrian again.
Comparable hotels to Tarntawan.

I really liked the rooms. I was in the FuramaXclusive before in one of the rooms that @vinapu described - pretty much an apartment. Siam Heritage rooms not nearly that size but very appointed and I really enjoyed it there. Would definitely stay there again. I stayed at the Raya before and liked that as well but would chose Siam over it. Probably cheaper as well as Raya seems very expensive recently.
