Yes Vinapu I also dislike them raiding the mini bar without permission. Sometimes I have drinks in there which I have bought from 7-11 but the boys go for the more expensive bottles charged by the hotel. This annoys me. During my last trip I was woken during the night by the boy who was going through the mini bar and making a noise clinking the bottles. I told him to stop and get back into bed. He did so but rolled into ball sulking. I suppose the few extra baht on my hotel bill is trivial but I value politeness and good manners.

It took me a couple of minutes to review what I actually do when the boy leaves me. I don't seem to have any set pattern. I always give the tip in the room and never at the hotel exit. I seldom give taxi money unless somehow he doesn't seem to have small change for this. I am a generous tipper which covers his expenses. Mostly I accompany him to the reception desk and wait for him to retrieve the card. Often I am leaving the hotel at the same time. Occasionally I have even bought him breakfast and one time having eaten we returned back to the room and got back into bed together. It's never happened when on receiving the phone call I reply in the negative having some sort of problem, like the boy removing some item. My money, IPad, phone etc are always in the room safe or hidden away.

Perhaps they have been eaten !. Thais will eat anything. I hope Lumpini Park is back to some semblance of normal during my next visit, as I will miss jogging a few circuits in the early evening. Perhaps the joggers have found somewhere else - I can't think where though. Running from the Tarntawan Hotel to Lumpini Park was impossible on the crowded pavements.

Thanks bkkguy I note what you say about small towel-less saunas, but after visiting Thailand quite a few times I think a visit to Babylon is well overdue. I've just been checking their accommodation and see that large barrack rooms are available at a rate of 1700 baht which is cheap for Bkk, but I note these rooms do not have private facilities, Though you get two bathhouse entrance passes within the room rate. I will no doubt make a reservation for three nights as soon as I have firmed up my dates.

Can't say I'm interested in the foam party - its hardly a regular event !. However I'm planning to spend a couple of days or more in BKK during my next trip before heading to Pattaya. From what I have heard and read it sounds like Babylon is a larger version of Samsuk Sauna in Pats. Would this be accurate ? If so it will definitely be on my agenda for a visit. Like at Samsuk it seems surprising that nudity does not break out, bearing in mind than a large proportion of customers are farangs, who wander about with the large white bath towels round their waists. Totally impractical as they have a tendancy to slip off and get in the way in the cruising areas. I never know what to do with mine when I hook up in the dark maze. I suppose it's the tradition in gay bathhouses.

My experience of massages in Bkk is limited, as I have spent the majority of my time in Pattaya. My most memorable massages have been in Jomtien Centre, where I often go after an afternoon on the Gay Beach. There you can sit outside with the boys having a tea/coffee before making a decision. I remember a couple of years ago sitting outside the Question Mark Bar feeling horny and wanting a massage. A few boys were there and I was delighted when a handsome one wearing a cute striped vest top and tight shorts came over and sat next to me on the sofa. I bought him a drink and indicated I would like a massage. We chatted and sipped our drinks with him close to me. Before going inside I put my arm around him and tongue kissed him which for me guaranteed electricity between us. Going upstairs past the ping pong table I observed his butt in the tight shorts. We showered separately with him being last and me lying on the massage table waiting impatiently for him thinking he was taking too long. The massage was enjoyable and gradually my hands strayed to his butt and dick. Suddenly he rolled onto the bed and commenced a b2b with his dick probing between my butt cheeks, which I loved. I assumed a position to be topped and he quickly had the condom on, and I felt his cock easing its way in. He came eventually and I wanked to completion. I can't remember how much it cost but it was one of the best experiences I have had in Thailand. I returned twice and hired the same boy to repeat the performance until I had to return home. I wish I had offed him for the night. When I returned to Pattaya 4 months later I was disappointed to find he no longer worked at the Question Mark.

Is Euro Boys back in business ?. It used to be my favourite gogo. It was closed in February.

Beach Road is now useless for jogging due to the structural alterations and being crowded with walkers, Asian Tour Groups congregating around pictures of them paragliding affixed to plastic plates. Also groups of Indian Men ogling girls in bikinis. Also Thais going the wrong way on the footpath on motor cycles. Groups of farangs bemoaning the decline of Pattaya as a sex tourist destination. I could go on and on. Running there is only possible before 9 am and I'm usually otherwise occupied at that time. Pattaya is one of the worst places in the world I have come across as a venue for the jogging enthusiast. Las Vegas and Cairo were even worse. Bangkok has Lumpini Park otherwise it's bad. The best place is on Buddha Hill where there is a circuit around the hill, where there are a lot of runners in the early evening. In fact it's still OK during the day, owing to the shade provided by the trees and a breeze from the sea.

Ryoyo I think you got reasonable values for your money - maybe your expectations were a little too high. You had a massage and after the massage boy fucked you and also there was nipple play. I'm versatile also and this would for me be the climax with me wanking. I suppose you could have mentioned your requirement to the mamasan. Of course the choice of a new masseur is usually hit and miss, but I don't think you had a miss on this occasion. Thanks for the report and would welcome more of your experiences. I will certainly visit Hero during my next trip.

Z909 - 5mph is a very fast walking pace, especially over the hill Jomtien > South Pattaya. In fact I don't jog much faster. Such a speed walk every day would go along way to keep fit in Pats, and you could dispense with the gym. I do weight training but I'm far from convinced that it's doing me any good. I always feel better after jogging/running. Also swimming seems to be beneficial keeping the aches and pains away.

Yep confusing Tony with Mike. Getting old !!

It's on Third Road near the junction with South Pattaya Road. The main gym and Thai boxing centre is in the left side going towards Jomtien. The smaller gym, swimming pool, tennis court etc is on the right. Big place - you can't miss it. Both gyms have up to date weight training equipment, but some of the aerobic machines are in a poor state of repair. A free gym is on Pratumak Hill near the big Buddha. Here you can train at the various exercise stations and have a run around the mile circuit under the trees with a breeze from the sea !. Balance your budget after spending too much on boys !.

The only gym I attend in Thailand is the Mike Sport World in Pattaya. When in Pats I'm normally to be found there from about 10 am. I train with the weights and on the treadmill and finish with a few lengths in the pool. A months membership is 4000 baht if I remember correctly. It's the best of the Pattaya gyms, most of which are rather basic. I like to relax on Dongtan gay beach in the afternoon.

For non money boy action the best Option I believe is gay saunas. I've only spent a limited amount of time in BKK, having spent a number of vacations in Pattaya. However I intend to visit Babylon during my next trip. I did go to the Samsuk Sauna in Pattaya a number of times during my February trip and very much enjoyed it. I always went into the dark maze and had encounters with T hais and farangs there.. I particularly enjoyed being topped with the cubicle door open and an audience.

Gayromeo femboy in Pattaya 4 years ago - I promised I wouldnt post this picture, hence face Thong worn in the gogo he worked in.

Number 4 would be my choice - hot twinky boy. A naked swim with number 1 would be rather nice

Unfortunately there seems to be a shortage of twinks in speedos on gay websites. My experience in Pattaya is that they don't like wearing them. Here's one or two I think are hot. I love that green g-string ! [

Z909 I'm with you. More twinks please.

Ugh. Can't it be Erased ?.

When changing my UK pounds into baht I'm never asked for my passport or any other ID for that matter. In fact I seldom have it with me whilst out and about in Thailand - I only carry a photo- copy of the main page and the visa or visa waiver in my wallet. The passport stays in the hotel safe. I've occasionally given boys pounds as tips which have been readily accepted.

I'm with you on this one Vinapu. When I saw the title of this thread I thought it would deal with a useful subject like where to stay in Pattaya. Instead it seems to consist of some weird dispute about ownership, which is of zero concern to me and 99% of members of this board.

GAY SEXY BOYS - is the slogan on the jeans in the second picture. I couldn't agree more and I'm drooling.

The Tarntawan Hotel is hard to beat in the Silom Road area and I've stayed there a couple of times. It's regarded as gay friendly and I saw that several guests had boys with them, as I usually had, in the mornings during breakfast. This which is very good and is available 24 hours. It's included in the room rate unless you order hot dishes which are charged. It's hard to find, being in a small Soi. My taxi driver couldn't find it on the first occasion and I had to get out and find it on foot having asked for directions. However this is an advantage in that it's quiet during the night. As mentioned previously there is no issues in the vast majority of Bangkok (and Pattaya) hotels with specifically male joiners, but some charge extra if you come back as a couple (str or gay), having registered alone. I always stay at hotels regarded as "gay friendly", as I dislike the stares you get when accompanied by boys considerably younger than myself and with them not following the dress code typical of upmarket hotels.

Thanks Mack. Hunks arn't my thing, but the second one is cute. Love his hair and his lips.
