kokopelli

You got me going fountainhall! But from where did you fly to London? From the west coast of where and why the hassle? Your trip sounded like a dream. And just where is Doha?

For Christmas I was given a gift certificate for a wine store and subsequently read the NYT article. So I immediately rushed to the wine shop, cashed in the certificate for 2 bottles of $20+ wine and am packing them for an upcoming trip to Thailand. Made sure it was New Zealand wine to avoid the tariffs (yes I know only one bottle allowed but just in case I can play dumb). But now have no money for a good bottle of champagne for New Year!

A UPS or FedEx cargo plane was almost hijacked and crashed. A disgruntled/unstable employee (maybe a pilot) caught a ride on a cargo plane and then attacked the pilot and co-pilot with a hammer. A terrible fight ensued for a couple of hours until the pilots finally subdued the attacker and were able to land the plane. During the attack the plane was flying erratically to puzzlement of air traffic controllers.

Agree with you Astrrro. For the beer bars it is chat with farang and gogo with Thai. At beer bars really do not like to be pestered by the freelancers although I sometimes take a liking to a Thai guy and then I start to lose my concentration.

Just don' take a cruise ship that stops at a port in Yemen. A relatively small boat just about sunk the destroyer Cole. A lot easier then renting/buying a small airplane.

Your description seems to match what I ate. Just not to my liking, kind of like drinking vomit. But the bats do sound like a tasty treat.

Another question, Rogie; just what is the nature of the shop? Motorbikes,Christian items, etc? You sure have me guessing.

For starters the egg with unhatched chick is called "balut", a must try for the adventuresome. Although there are many strange Thai foods I have not eaten, there was one which I found revolting. The bf often brings back a milky like liquid with lumps of something in it. Maybe it is coconut milk with soft, boiled peanuts or something even worse, but one sip is enough to induce the gag reflex. Most likely it is nutritious if you can keep it down. Anyone have ideas on what it is?

Happy Bar in Pattaya has always made me happy(and broke).

Not sure if it is considered "fast food" but the burger at Ouds in Sunee Plaza in Pattaya is the best and with fries on the side. For me much better than Hamburger Lady.

So they give with one hand and take with the other? I had hoped that some good Australian wine could be had at a reasonable price but that may not be the case. Wine is somthing that the average Thai does not drink and no one who drinks wine would drink Thai wine.

A couple of months ago the routine at Happy was the same: boys revolving from table to table after one song. Also the 150 Baht for upstairs was in effect. Actually it was,for me a good idea. I was downstairs and bought drinks for some boys and then was surrounded by others. They said, "WE can go upstairs, no charge"! I think I would rather see one boy, pay 150 Baht and go with him only to the upper lounge.

One of my favorite late night snacks is Nabisco Whole Grain Saltines and V8 juice both found at Villa Market. The Japanese saltines are even better but much more expensive.

Although I agree with all the positive remarks about EuroBoys, however the boys are more like ladyboys, in my eyes, which moves it off top spot. Not a criticism of lbs but not to my taste as muscle boys are not to my taste. But this was 3 or so months ago and things do change all the time. Of course will check it out again and again during my winter visit in Pattaya.

Let's not get too carried away about some hangups.

The one who initiated the original post can best answer that.

If Viagra and Caverject are not acceptable as a temporary fix, maybe a more permanent solution would be a silicone injection into the glans? This may earn you a new nickname by the boys, or is it a dickname?

Misshapen would be a bit description. Grotesque even more so.

Guess it all depends on how "hard up" you are for sex? But diabetics and IV users do it all the time. Even saw a user in Amsterdam shoot up into his testicles. Now that is lunacy.

Do agree with you on that point! But also see guys just sitting at bars night after night without ever seeing them in a gogo or with a boy. But maybe that is what they came for? As the saying goes, the heart is a lonely hunter.

Yes, it is a "do it yourself" injection. Refer to the website I posted which gives the details. Just on little prick for one big prick!

I do not see these posts as unreal. There sure have been much more frivolous posts in the past which were taken seriously by moderator and posters. I have known farang who visited Thailand for the first time and were afraid to enter a go go bar much less off someone. On my first visit I was a little shy to have a boy sit with me and it took a while to off one; and I was very experienced from other bar scenes back home. For me it is a private matter and my mo is to have the boy take a motorbike and meet me at my room rather then walk the "walk of shame" as someone put it. Just a matter of practicality.

Well, not really. Some men have a medical condition that prevents erections and meds like Viagra do not work. Caverject is a prescription med that can and does work. www.caverject.com

When I saw him on stage he looked like a boy-boy ( I was more naive at that time) but after I saw his transformation to a lady-boy I developed my headache. We did walk as far as my room which was next to the go go bar and that seemed an eternity. Sent him back because he was not my type. But now am gun shy of walking with any "offs". I do walk with other Thai guys I know with no hesitation (other than getting caught by the bf) but do not like the hands holding routine.
