  1. Regarding ice, I have serious doubts about using that.  I have seen ice being made at commercial shop and I doubt that the water was anything other than tap water. Perhaps some bars and restaurants use purified water to make their ice??  But, yes,  do use the ice at bars.

    If you think about the climate to grow a "western salad"  it need to be a temperate region. That's not Thailand.

     

    Go local - you won't regret it!

    From my experience I have found everything and more in Thailand as compared to back home in respect to salad ingredients. Possibly some of that is  imported but it is available.

    I know there's a thread somewhere on this forum that discusses tipping .... but for the life of me I can't find it.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? I know it has been discussed briefly in my previous thread but there was a broader discussion elsewhere

    I'd like to know what you tip waiters, mamasans, boys who spend time with you, etc

    To answer your question,  20 Baht/drink for waiters. Boys who spend time with you,  minimum 100 Baht.  Mamasans, up to you, but many tip nothing unless the mamasan was helpful to you.

  4. Yes, a somewhat chubby Thai lad, wearing some sort of flimsy underwear, and splishing and a splashing in the jacuzzi. Whatever you do with one of the Thai guys, it is open for all to see and enjoy/abhor.

    Has Good Boys closed permanently? On Friday I walked past, it was closed and I couldn't the see their sign.

    Good Boys is supposed to be moving from current location to a smaller shop (the old All of Me 2) just across the soi. Not yet open.

    What is Sunee Plaza like these days, is there still lots of empty premises or are there any new ones?

     

    There are still lots of empty premises. Only new filled premise is Eden Bar which was filled about one year ago. When was you last visit to Sunee?

    [Jomtien.
    Jomtien is a soi with open to the air bars facing each other. The chairs all face the soi and you sit with your back to the bar area. However, and this is huge for me: the guys are all in the soi between the chairs of facing bars trying to persuade people to come in.

    If you want someone it is up to you to get his attention and get him over. Frankly, I do not like this system in any way.  Many people are there for a drink with friends, etc. I'm not. I'm shopping. I need the merchandise to be better displayed.]

     

    Agree with you paborn about Jomtien,  however there are a couple of bars where the boys will engage with you.  Two I am aware of are off the main soi and "around the corner".  One is Two Donna Bar and the other is Boy Gaga. Worth trying someday.

    Here is a perfect example of what i was writing just as this post above appeared. I enjoyed the discussion. I thoroughly dislike the deception. Future contributions for both posters now go on a 'suspect' list. That is IF what reader just wrote is true! And for me that is itself suspect, How could concocting a story that has been told and written about several times before take an entire week to dream up? Thats pretty unbelievable!

    What reader posted is not true.  Just a lie on his part.  I know willie-willie and what he posted is valid based on his sources.  If anyone should be put on the  ignore list, it is reader.
