  1. Until now I have avoided this topic because I feel so strongly about it.  I just cannot imagine that a government agency having the job of promoting tourism has the ultimate stupidity to take this position.  They constantly talk about promoting tourism but then come up with a plan to screw foreigners coming to Thailand.  Perhaps their mothers dropped them on their heads shortly after birth.

    What don't you like about Tarntawan that you'd be willing to go to Malaysia ....what about Furama, seems like it's gotten good reviews here...?

    I stay at Tarntawan many years ago when I first came to Bangkok.  The bed cover was dirty and despite two calls to the desk it was never changed.  I don't think their level of cleanliness has ever changed from what others have told me. That's my sole complaint about the place but it's enough for me to stay away.  So I put the XXX on the place. 

  3. Anyone been to Tawan recently?  I've not been there in several years and wonder what it is like these days.

    Thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply.

    As mentioned in my first post here, I'm a long-time follower of this forum (going back around 15 years, on and off) but rarely posted anything because from the great fountain of information you guys shared, I don't think I have anything new to add. Once I started sharing (just three weeks ago), I found that I do and should have done it many years ago :) Although Jason1975 says I should write trip reports, I'm not really up to a full report so I just share tidbits of my Thailand trips and occasionally take a chance to give you some info about Vietnam's scene too since I'm mainly based in Vietnam.

    I gonna start this tidbit thread with stories about a cheating mamasan in Toy Boys.

    This week, I came directly to Pattaya from the Bangkok airport (using Nam taxi, 1000B, they gave me detailed instructions of how to find the driver: Arrival Hall, walk outside and find Entrance No 3, then look for a car plated XXYY). Staying in AIYAREE PLACE just across street from Jomtien Complex (spacious room with a double and also a single bed, which I can use for massage, a separated space with room apparatus, arm chairs and table, perfect for working remotely, swimming pool and small gym, included breakfast buffet and also 400B hotel credit for lunch/dinner in the in-house restaurant with a pretty good selection of Western and Thai food, all of these for just 1100B/night, also no problem with guests to the room)

    Chatted with a boy on Blued for a massage deal. If I'm gonna meet a guy on app, I prefer if he can do massage and if I can just book for massage only first (in case the guy shows up and looks totally different from his picture). This guy seems professional with his itemized price list (shown in the picture). Some members may know him too (the one who keeps promoting his own laundry service all the time :) and I find it quite cute.

    No description available.

    He showed up, and just one look at him (small-built, slim fit, smooth skin, boyish look), I know I'm gonna follow up with some after-massage services. He's indeed professional, bringing everything (water-proof tarp, towel, a selection of massage oils, relaxing music, he just forgot candles hehe). He also speaks decent English (used to have some foreign boyfriends from China and Japan), so we chatted a lot during the session.

    It turns out he used to work in Toy Boys in Boyztown about 4 years ago. My first visit of the bar many years ago left quite a bad taste in my mouth. 

    I was greeted by this mamasan, who is Chinese-Vietnamese and can speak Mandarin, Vietnamese, Thai and English. It felt so good to talk to someone in my mother tongue in a foreign bar, so I sought advice from him about everything.

    It was my last night in Pattaya and I liked 2 boys so decided (a first for me) to off both of them. Mamasan presented me with a handwritten bill including my drink, boy drinks, bar fines, boy's tips (1500 each) and also a charge for bar's short-time room (400 per boy). He told me he collected the boy's tips in advance just for safety and that even though I don't use the short time room at the bar, they still charge for it as a rule. I guess I was really naive at the time and probably trusted the bastard too much because he's Vietnamese too. To think that I even gave him a decent tip for all of his "troubles"!

    Only when I was back to my hotel and talked more with the boys who spoke rather limited English, I found out that the short-time charges were totally bullshit. If I didn't leave town the next day, I would come back to the bar and raise the issue with the management. The next time I set foot in the bar (6 months later), I simply ignored that mamasan who recognized me instantly, refusing to speak to him even for seating or bill paying (kinda passive-agressively you must think). I became friend with another mamasan from Cambodia and had no problems since then.

    So back to my massage, I asked Kiwi (the boy's nickname) why he quit, and he said he didn't like the working enviroment there and especially the mamasan, who cheated him out of his money so many times. Of course, it was the same guy. Turns out he cheated the customers and he cheated the boys too. 

    Kiwi told me that many times that mamasan dealt with a customer (especially someone new to town) 2000 for ST and collected the money in advance but told the boy that the customer paid 1500 so the boy got back 1400 (minus his cut of 100). Kiwi said he never thought about asking the customers how much money they actually gave the mamasan. He only found out about this almost one year later, when a customer showed him a picture of the same handwritten bill I got, and funny enough, including the same bogus short-time room charge I had.

    Kiwi also said even though he gave the mamasan his standard 100 cut every time, that one still tried to steer customers away from him (because some other boys would give mamasan 200 or even 300 cut), like telling the customer who wants a bottom that Kiwi only tops (FYI he can do both but prefer bottom position), or even saying that you need to be careful because he's kinda bad boy etc. 

    Kiwi, too, only found out about this through customer feedback, and his story brought back another bad memory. 

    That night, when I pointed to one of the two boys I later offed, who was standing quietly like a church mouse in a corner, Mamasan did say that boy only goes with lady customers. But because he was totally my type, I waived him in and later found out he's gay and can bottom (another red flag I should've paid attention to but I was too excited to have my first threesome ever at that point). Back at the hotel, I asked him why Mamasan said he only goes with ladies, he said he didn't know and he never went with women customers before.

    Back again to my massage. Job done, I'm happy with the massage, after services and also the enlightening conversation we had, and gave him 2000 even though he only asked for 1500 tops.

    Also because of this, I decided to go to Boyztown that evening and visit Toy Boys again (I walked past them a couple of weeks ago and saw they just re-opened with that cheating mamasan standing at the door), just so I have a chance to blow him off again hehe.

    (to be continued)

    Excellent report and I really appreciate it that you took the time to write and post it.

    Following this one. It would be interesting to know just which massage places are currently open, I have watched some clips on youtube of walkthroughs at Patpong 1 and 2 but when they get to Bangkok massage it always seems to be closed. 

    Any information offered on this topic is greatly appreciated.

    There are about 5 massage places in Soi 6 very close to M Star. Last month, I had a massage in Natural Massage, next to M Star.

    Please tell more about your experience.  Also, what floor is it on?

  7. In perusing  Planet Romeo looking for escorts in the Philippines I see that all escorts, who state fees, are asking for $100 or more.  I thought this to be more than I would have guessed.  Anyone able to verify this  to be accurate or not?

  8. The closest thing to what is discussed here was the Malaysia Hotel in Bangkok.  Unfortunately the owner has chosen to stop boys from hanging out on the patio. 
    Ah, what a great day it was a few years ago.

    I have never heard of a hotel in Japan dedicated to escorts but many boys are available in Tokyo.

    How hard is it for Americans to travel to Myanmar during normal times (not pandemic)?

    It is no problem in "normal" times.  I've been several times and nothing specially difficult in traveling there.  Food is not nearly as good as Thailand and Cambodia.

  10. My appreciation to all of you who responded to my post.

    Lucky, he is still in Thailand and I'm happy for him.  As much as I miss him it is good for him to be there because he loves his home country.

  11. I'm still trapped here in the US and, unfortunately it is most uncertain when I will be able to return to my home in Thailand.  They have started allowing a few foreigners to enter the country but not many and there are many restrictions.  This is very sad for me and I hope things change soon.
