indeed. I know that one statistic sample is not base for hypothesis but nevertheless in my 33 trips to Thailand only once I felt bit physically threatened and it was by ladyboy ,in broad daylight when I took shortcut toward Big Buddha hill . Nothing happened other then very visible glances over my pockets and few quite invasive questions like " why you are walking alone, where's your friend ? " but it did not make impression of friendly exchange, rather sounded like interrogation, so for my personal use I try to avoid them in rather empty places, day or night

you are genius , gentleman and a scholar. Since I swear in 7 languages I need translation rarely , hence my visible lack of sophistication

be friendly , buy drinks generously but don't over do it and don't miss any possible hints. Guy's suggestion to exchange Line could be one with potential. Behave yourself and be very discreet and you may be rewarded with question ' where's your hotel ?". Do not stay in hotel nearby like Sun and Moon beside or Queenwood across as likely they won't take a risk of being seen If lucky , absolutely don't leave bar with guy, he may tell you where to wait or simply give him direction and he will find you there. They are not supposed to leave bar before end of their shift and I'm privy to a case of one of most attractive guy there who got drunk with customer and left earlier (alone). Was fired subsequently. It's basically the same game like you are attending party and you get a feel that certain guy (or girl) is giving you long looks and you are doing the same. Fact that guy allows you to get a feel my or may not be a hint , it only may be a hint you should tip him something so do not make any assumption. That's true that they generally don't go with customers or at least it's what they convincingly say but it's not monastery and some may be keen on using their assets to generate some cash. " Be discrete " part includes reporting your luck here, boast by any mean but be as little specific as possible so preferably neither guy can not be identified. Speaking from first hand experience.

it surely does, drinks are not that expensive , I think 3.50 - 6 $ so even if one treats say 3 boys with 3 drinks each, together with your own it will be 12 drinks, no more than 50 $ at worst and that ensures whole evening of fun and smiles. Tips are extra but there they don't solicit them. At end of night I usually tip them 5-10 $ depending of how long they were sitting with me and how progressive that sitting was. Most progressive may even get 20$. Again tipping should be done very discretely, I learned that lesson early when one of boy was upset that another boy got the same tip which he thought unfair. None of those involved works there any longer though, judging by pics on Facebook. By the way today they posted on Facebook they are looking for new staff. Not sure that 250-300 is per shift ( he, he ) , week or month and whether is salary or just tip potential. Any idea how to translate that ?, I tried google translate but couldn't find a way of it translating text from picture, getting old is no fun.

Glad to hear he is doing well even now in low season

If elected she should make sure her jacket colour matches one of her shoes , otherwise she can be removed by 5 of 9 judges of Constitutional court for offending sensibilities of Thai population. This kind of stupid jokes was reserved for tragi comical nations like Equatorial Guinea , Swaziland, now Eswatini or Central African Empire under Bokassa, now Thailand fits right in.

In Bangkok fun never stops

I'm very sure both Jomtien and Pattaya Beach must be on that list of 50 as they tick off all those criteria mentioned

problem is that to many we are those ' other people" and better we try to remember that and behave

Rarely such young person joins Pattaya flying club. Obvious lack of experience owing to his young age resulted in flight not as successful as other more experienced and aged members achieve

as a sign of class. VIP rooms in Senso have sofa as well

Shortly after taking duties he will be removed as somebody spots in Parliament's toilets he wears yellow underwear which be deemed offensive to monarchy and constitutional order. If you think this is stupid or impossible look at what happened in last few weeks

in my books that is an ultimate praise one can give to a boy, I'm serious.

some people have no shame

voice of reason

Thing I hate the most when travelling with other people is when they ask for solution and then immediately propose some contradictory proposal instead doing it in first place. him : " What we are doing now?" ,me ": 'Lets's go to Empire State Building", him : " Why don't we go to see Frick Collection first ? ", this type of exchange

Shortly countries like Venezuela or Cambodia will look like poster boys of democracy in comparison to Thailand. What's next ?, dissolving whole Parliament because some deputies broke smoking ban in corridors ?

that's clever

that's simple, take half things and twice as much money

+1 , I agree. But if you are sitting and drinking there whole evening, buying drinks for boys as well , it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on your tab or ask for bill mid session under pretext you are not sure how much money you have at your disposal. That's is basically applicable to any bar anywhere unless they have system of charging right away.

thanks God for that

what's your point ?

Lots of good comments above. Advantage of travelling together is indeed avoiding boredom and loneliness is somebody is bothered by that. Another bonus is monetary as it allows for savings on accommodation , taxis, often other things too lime family sized meals. Disadvantage is usually need to accommodate others, particularly hard if one is determined to do / see something and others not only are not interested but actively protesting. Travelling in group generates a lot a lot of time waste, toilet breaks , strange meal orders when everybody is finished and one person is still waiting for her fish baked in oranges. I have life time friends I would never for for vacation together with other that fully organized trip. Also have people I don't keep much of social life with but gladly go for any trip with them. To alleviate that problems in university years our pack devised smart rule - we travel together but everybody it's on own vacation. That means no fuss if somebody decides to go own way for hour , half day or whole week. I can't envision how one could feel bored in city like Bangkok but since some people are I guess t's possible. OP mentioned being bored with the same room. Old vinapu long ago devised cure for that i.e. hotel jumping every 2-3 nights, sometimes even changing rooms in the same hotel. This way we change not only room but also scenery around hotel . One of our members make a point on every trip to stay few nights in different , sometimes far away areas of Bangkok just to get a feel of the city. Often difference in prices more than offsets additional cost of transportation to the core. Like Jason1975 I found that befriending and meeting members eliminates loneliness, allows for company and even some savings on taxi to Jey Spa together . In bars bonus is that we can pretend we are boyfriends to keep pushy mamasans and boys at bay. Nobody believes but everybody gets' stay away message. For shy types it creates additional shield in bars. Almost always there's somebody visiting or soon arriving willing to meet. On another hand no offence if somebody declines - see 'everybody on own vacation' rule. People may want to remain anonymous or just left alone for many reasons.
