vinapu

you sound like Putin talking about late Navalny

if I need change before hitting bars I like to go to BTS counter and ask for change or load my Rabbit card with 100 baht using 1000 baht note

wonder what did you drink today, lol

we could use one in either Patpong

glad to hear my report could be an inspiration. Unplanned trip it usually very rewarding

this is how dry days are working in Thailand, it's from midnight till midnight. It's why those strange closing and re-opening hours, theoretically bars can be opened past and before midnight but can't serve alcohol so most of them won't bother. Serene likely did not serve alcoholic drinks before midnight even if opened and packed. If they did they took risk or bribed somebody, still I'd be afraid of jealous competition.

there's no sex trade in Thailand so no need for such programs, ask any government official.

... and then inevitably night comes...

you are right about those with 'Bucha" name. I'm surprised Christmas day landed on the list , I was there on Christmas day in 2021 and it seemed as normal day plus of course all those decorations. Before every trip I check lit of holidays , Gaybutton forum has it always handy and when day in question comes close I will ask in the bars if they will be closed or not. If they will , i make sure I save 1 or two boys from unemployment on that day.

Really ? I'm shocked !

there was post about it on the forum on Monday so nothing should be surprising to our readers

I think you were very prudent by not exchanging Whatsapp details with somebody you just met. Dubai is not Pattaya and you could easily land yourself into some misunderstanding if not outright trouble. It's another thing if you subsequently met guy on corridors and exchanges winks and smiles , then I'd try but not at first contact. Friend of mine very recently in Saigon went through similar proposal of contact exchange with somebody claiming to remember him from airport, which subsequently led him to illegal gambling den. Fortunately he regained his senses in time and escaped after they insisted he drinks some water or drink they treated him with.

+1

be careful to avoid misunderstanding as usually buys treat shopping trips and gifts obtained that way as a bonus not something in lieu of cash tip.

thank you for letting us know. Yes , I agree it's gift to Amsterdam and other transit - heavy airports in Western Europe

You do. Glad to hear you have fun there

with right planning both Bangkok and Phuket can be easily done

understand , looking in the mirror even I am jealous

welcome to the forum Looking for friends don't restrict yourself to English- fluent. There are tons of decent people who are not that fluent but still speak communicable English.

another example of idiocy sweeping the world. No wonder that Trumps, Orbans, Le Pens and the likes find receptive auditoriums. Museums world over are filled with items which millions, perhaps billions may consider sacred. Are we supposed to close Louvre because some modern day Greek will claim that Nike is representation of goddess his ancestors considered sacred ? What about all those museums of religious art every self respecting city in Latin America claims to have ?.

600 a year ! It's half of my recent airfare to BKK. I wouldn't call it small change

fully agree, even treating ducks that way is nasty , never mind humans. One can only imagine what is going on inside of China and waht kinds of games they are playing there. Laos and Cambodia are on course of being colonized by their mighty neighbour up north but there's hope, even from cursory exchanges it seems both societies are fully aware about situation they are heading to. Interesting note about post above - it seems that poster who alarmed about the game is fully named but incriminating hotel is not

I'm jealous already

that's seems to be malady in all developed societies. And then they are complains that immigrants are coming and taking jobs.

Summary Definitely and by far sightseeing’s high point was Sukhotai and Kampheang Phet. Fact that my friend K decided to go with me doubled that travel fun. Angkor and environs were second, because all those places I already visited in the past but Cambodian ruins have such pull on me that I can visit there to no end. I’m glad I went to Phuket, finally I know how it is there and may return in future if only to explore gay scene bit more energetically than I did this time. I beat my cousin to James Bond Island , that counts for plenty as well. As for boys I did not get anybody I regretted to engage. With few some improvement could be used but there were no antics like leaving suddenly out of blue (ok there was one case but I let it go for reason explained ) . It looks that engaging tried and tested pays big time and if we meet winner it’s good to keep him close like I did with both PP and Pattaya guys, new to me. S was great travel companion and I’m glad I had him with me in Siem Reap and by my side every few days in Bangkok. Y knows I like him and shows his appreciation every time we met. NM surprisingly showed his romantic side and both Tawan guys I offed facilitated steamiest nights I had in whole month. All 7 guys mentioned above had one endearing trait, none of them asked for any extras other than agreed. When we dined their choices were modest. I liked that . I don’t mind to open purse but don’t like to be treated as money well. Some quotations this trip were excessive, certainly boys are trying to cash in. With one exception I managed to keep their tips within my budget, bargaining down when necessary. Only case I yielded I treated as last of our many meeting in the past and can’t see repeat in the future. It was one upsetting disappointment , right in the beginning, indifferent look of Jupiter guy , veteran of many offs. But I guess all comers to an end, even customer loyalty and client’s infatuation . And two regrets, both for lack of time . I should off that Tawan waiter at least once more. I never thought I will be regretting not offing the twink but here I am. And I did not gave a chance to two Banana Club guys , Vu Thy and new #31. I think I know where my first steps next trip will be. Now you guys can vent your frustrations with me “ who the fuck writes such long and convoluted trip reports ? Screw you vinapu!
