Thank you Vessey for the photos, particularly appreciated by such as I, whose bar-going days are over. Happy memories of  twink-bars.....the photos we usually see tend to be of "the other sort" of bar. Cockpit, Moonlight, City, Sawatdee and (for personal reasons) the old Dream Boys. They cheered me up on a grey London morning.

Same as you I don't like crowds.
Last time I was in Songkran was 2014 , didn't enjoy being shot in the eye by high powered water guns by drunken young farangs 

I expect I've said this before but the traditional Thai Songkran is a beautiful festival, just as Loy Kratong often is now, at least it was on Jomtien beach this year. The tender sprinkling of water on grandparents and washing of Buddha images; quiet reverence and respect. Very Thai.
Songkran's degeneration into an orgy of water fights and rowdiness is sad for some of us, something I experienced once and never again. Is this the result or a bi-product of tourism? Or would it have happened without us? 
By the way, does anyone recall the scandal of  an embassy official's wife - Norwegian?- slapping a child  who squirted water in her face in Pattaya?  

At first, I really enjoyed songkran, especially the party atmosphere in Silom.
I looked forward to visiting Thailand every April and especially remember a wonderful time I had in Pattaya.
A few friends from Eros suggested I come with them for some fun, so I bought the biggest supersoaker I could find and got right into it. We dropped by every 7/11 and I bought beers and snacks for everyone.
But I started getting annoyed when farang would start songkran a few days earlier when I was not prepared to get wet.  So I decided I'd had enough and decided to give songkran a miss.
I would divide my time in April between Bangkok and Pattaya and was able to escape songkran due to the differing dates in both cities..I'd hang around in Pattaya until the 18th and then head up to Bangkok where it had already finished.
Last year I took part in the celebrations in Bangkok for the first time in years. I had a great time with some friends from Golden Cock and Natureboys outside the bar.
I was planning to go back this year but am now going to Japan instead. 
 

roll your sleeves and you will be rich.
As for April you are correct but since I gave up on slavery in October now I'm free man, even in April

Same as you I don't like crowds.

Wow Vinapu ! 
You certainly get around ! 
Wish I was rich enough to do it 😂
I think every  April you are busy working  you said  ,so enjoy it ! 👍
 

On few trips when logged in Boyztown I actually doubled up and rented cheapest room at Zing  as well in case I get somebody from jomtien. Better go to the bed ight away than songtaew I figured

There are black sheep in every flock

 

I was there just 2 weeks ago I  both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh and can tell with certainty that neither hotel.i was staying made any fuss about visitors. 
Even when one arrived on motorbike and requested a kep to the gated parking area they gave it to him without aby question for him or me. Big chain hotels may be stricter but as everywhere else visitors issue largely depends on property and in fact on staff on duty at given moment.
OK Boitique , OK Palace and Saravoan Palace hotels are your sure bets in Phnom Penh with bonus of being close to attractions and all 4 gay bars on existence I know of.

The only reason they go strong is that some "splurge" there. They need the business badly and as much as smaller/less fancier places. Discrimination won't help.

With respect to you ,you seem to be very one sour old guy

And why would I support China anyway?
I hope Taiwan can remain free for all us older gay people 👨‍❤️‍👨
Enjoy life💃🕺

, we all don't have much time to waste "hating"  someone because of their beliefs ,race ,sex ,gender, life is not long 😉

The last two holidays I have stayed at the Zing for a number of days. 
Good clean, basic hotel with a nice pool. Guest friendly and ideal for 'boy shopping'!

I do a lot of threesomes. Some boys I already know work happily together. But generally my MO is to pick the boy that I want as second, and we discuss and then invite the third.
Sometimes in a bar there are a number of boys around the table and I might just jokingly point at two of them and count 1-2-3 on my fingers and see what their reaction is. Sometimes it is just laughed off, sometimes it is met with enthusiastic nodding, then it is 'game-on'.
I also find it helpful to have discussed with the boys who might do what to whom? 
The first time in the room for a new threesome might be a bit slow as the boys are often shy of one another. But with the lights lowered, and a little gentle direction from me and it usually works out ok, although obviously some better than others.
Once a threesome has been established it usually just gets better and better. Perhaps with food offered afterwards as they chat and get to know one another.
Winner Boys should be excellent for threesomes, established boys like Nam and Bank are usually totally at ease with them, Nam in particular is usually very proactive in getting the 'party' started!

Yes gone are the days of the majority of "sex workers" are the starving boys we used to see 25 years ago in sunee
Now many ,not all , but many are second jobbers 

I'm sure all the responses are accurate, but if it were me, I would be asking the boy of interest.  Don't you think the boys know where to go?  And I would go with his recommendation because it would be a room he is probably familiar with, likes, and feels comfortable there.

I know a few people that have killed themselves of different ages.....they've had demons they'd been fighting for a long time, it's not something you wake up one day and out of the blue decide to kill yourself.

I need money for my boys

Lesson learned: never book room above second floor in Pattaya.

Suicides, most likely (though this particular way of dispatching their targets was quite popular with some gangs in Europe 20-30 years ago), but what a trauma to those who have witnessed it all or had to deal with it immediately afterwards before the police arrived.

Sorry for derailing this thread even more, but I had to google "oldest prostitutes in the world" and found this 12/11 year old articles:

The longest working prostitutes in Amsterdam, twin sisters Louise and Martine Fokkens, have officially retired — but only after 50 years of work and over 350,000 clients served.
"I was a little bit tired," Louise told As It Happens host Carol Off in an interview that aired March 18. [...]

Maybe better to have a couple of nights booked at the Zing Hotel next to the Agate and make a weekend of it, Zing is very reasonable 👍

Be fantastic when it comes
