listen to those words of wisdom everybody. Labels may be what they are but everywhere , money and perhaps our personal charms do miracles to change mind and expand offer on the ( massage) table

You will like Sukhothai treasures , I was there in beginning of 2024 and ever since think of returning to explore more. Banana pancake in night market along archeological zone main drag was delicious and cheap at 30 baht. some pics in my trip report here, page 2 and 3 : https://www.gayguides.com/topic/41442-better-to-be-retired-than-retarded-thailand-and-cambodia-in-january-2024-trip-report-brief-but-long/page/3/

since you called me I haste to say that I flew Ethiopian once and certainly don't have any complains about the experience although I don't remember their food THAT fondly. Flying from UK to Bangkok via Addis Ababa seems bit circular though but if price and connection time is right, I'd say , why not ?

My spies on the ground are reporting that Madrid was indeed closed first three weeks of October but re-opened since so all good and back on track

mile in what direction ?

all I can say is that at end of August i visited twice , first time it was closed indeed but few days later I had better luck and enjoyed my , as Jenny calls "as usual" ( Chang and shallots/ cherry tomato pizza). I'd be devastated if she closed for good, God forbid.

I'm shocked, how it can be I wonder ?

if I were you I'd book hotel in Silom area and took taxi there. You can be in ghetto around 1 am , perfect time to take shower and have a stroll of the district as it's time when bars close and boys are eating and drinking , alone or with friends all over the place. Perfect opportunity to get some companion. For massages, as you seem to be short of time , stay in the area and your choice is between Prince , Arena and Senso. For bars taking into consideration type of boys you like it's between Dreamboys, Hot Male and Good Boys ( it it were me , I'd be splitting between Jupiter, Moonlight and Atlas). You will sleep at your destination or at home upon returning

he looks very sad old men of this picture and he was not even that old

for me is was/ is fancy because I never saw top opening in-drawer version before. This is what happens when backward classes start to travel, they marvel at things quite obvious to others.

mine was cheapest one available and did not have a window in the room but had window in the bathroom so there was some daylight when we left door opened

don't forget to check that fancy safety deposit box while there

walk Suriwong from Patpong to soi Tawan, perhpas 300 meters all and you will find year worth of twinks available

I did in Jun. you can read my impression in day 5 of my trip report here : Thanks God it's over - trip report, Thailand in Jun of 2025 - Gay Thailand - Gay Guides Forum also i posted some photos and impressions in hotel thread on page 3 : BKK Hotels - pros & cons? - Page 3 - Gay Bangkok - Gay Guides Forum No problem with visitors at all, just steps from soi 4. All shiny new but rooms on small side.

Chiang Rai and Golden Triangle are even better.

Its good to have self esteem but at times it may be our fault for encounter not going well - , hygiene problems , overly aggressive or self confident behavior , having bad reputation among boys for being violent or stingy, being too young or too old for boy's taste , just to name a few. I love those discussions about other people's money. It's payer and payer only who can reliably assess whether his money was or was not well spent, not even most sympathetic and well meaning bystanders and onlookers. If somebody's dream is to check whether that bulge in boys jeans is natural or silicon enhanced it's his free will to satisfy curiosity to get that boy naked, even at inflated cost. ( not my case but member's I was visiting bar with, 5 mins trip to bar toilet , inspection, 1000 baht changed hands, curiosity satisfied. Yes, I thought it's way too much where likely 200 would suffice but I could say both were happy. For curious minds, it was real but expected tip of an off quoted was too high even to my generous friend )

we can be choosier only to a degree as in reality we never know what we are buying ourselves into. Even boys previously rehearsed can be disappointing next time and other way around. Time to state for 128th time - my best ever session and second worst experience were with the same Tawan boy two trips apart.

you want us to stop feeling good by being generous in order for you to feel good by being scroogy ?

you can do worse so cheer up

you will be happy you went, just wait

why you are about the owners ? It's what happened to their boys which were more interested to know

I like fact that your not exactly thrilling experience did not cloud your judgement about the place. You adventure only confirms what I advocate from at least Napoleonic wars - engage only guys who are smiling or at least making an eye contact with you . Otherwise you risk wasting money, time or both
