there's substantial difference between looking at , say, guy's butt and actually touching it I guess

I noticed visible move of hotel prices upwards from my December stay, they are bit higher now and prices offered for end of year are much higher still. Market economy at work I guess. But still good deals and good value for money abounds

1000 baht note will work as Certificate of Insurance

one can only hope that border officials will know that

what movie you are talking about? In Dec I spent 25 nights there and only ones without company were when two I chose not to have one

I'd say 2 weeks is minimum although I twice took just 1 week trips and enjoyed both even with those 24 hrs flights each way. But wouldn't recommend it for first timers. Weather wise definitely Dec or Jan but as reader mentioned , Thailand is enjoyable in any weather due to abundance of willing consolators

I saw similar family entourage in Classic in soi Twilight and left immediately as I think dragging children into this type of establishment is just asking for trouble for all involved , including spectators

I agree, for me Dreamboys and Jupiter are chief offenders in that field as for bar discussion, I don't think most of Thai bars if any , with guys on the stage are gay bars, they are boy bars thus there's possibility they attract boy admirers of either gender and that's exactly what happens. It may not be comfortable for some but those ladies in audience while at times annoying, keep those bars operational and well staffed. While discrimination is slippery slope indeed , unfortunately and fortunately is fact of life and at times necessary. Senior discounts, ladies nights, suppression of night time noise, pedestrian only zones all all part and parcel of it. I'm discriminated against even in my former primary school which I can't visit as only parent and guardians of children are allowed inside and even thea are prohibited from entry during class times. As for presence of ladies in bars while at times annoying , I don't mind, specially when I'm marching away with hunk of my choice while they hold their tears jealously at such waste of prime man material. I would not complain seeing boy bar with sign "ladies only" either. Let them have their fun. In fact in my city we used to have male bar where "only men escorted by ladies are (were) admitted ", practice ended on grounds of discrimination and now we don't have neither discrimination not that bar.

I stay many times in Classrooms ( on your recommendation by the way and thank you ) and never had problem with bar noise. I like their discreet entry to the side of bar. In Boyztown itself I prefer Copa to Ambiance if only because maze of corridors in the later is kind of scary. In Jomtien complex The Venue is good but there it may be problem with bar noise.

and on my first in November 2001

yes

as for money changers XOne on Suriowong close to Amara hotel has in Dec rates rivalling those at airport basement. To Pattaya I recommend airport bus although it's less frequent than those from Ekkamai .

you are not alone !

indeed

military not , but narco cartels to a quite a degree , yes. I'd prefer Thailand if only due to a better security not to mention lower probability of getting Monezuma revenge

that's the good news

more I read about cases like that , less respect for Thai political and justice system I have

+1 no matter if they are from online (almost non-existent for me ) , from bars or massages I too take a point of escorting them to my room and also from hotel, when they are leaving. In my early days I had a case of companion from now no-existing Aqua Spa who when tried to retrieve his ID from reception was asked for 'donation' which I learned about only in the evening when I was taking him again.

so it looks thet Mr Sarawut took his commission

then perhaps best course is to stay home. In Thailand theft is not a problem, speaking from personal experience and yes 19 out 20 night I share my bed with stranger overnight when I sleep

Best to ask about July goings will be in August

Perth is great ! Can't wait for 2nd season of My Engineer to see how shy love between Ram and King develops

but closer to soi Pluk Chit and it's Sabaidee and Sanctuary by A massages

yes but on another hand percentage of boys who had their ID checked will be much , much lower

I must be less picky because in Decemeber only days when I left bar empty handed were those when I had other arrangements done already. And even I took cute twink from Dreamboys and to eternal shame on me I liked the experience. I agree about dress code (boys in jeans ) but luckily I find them sexy probably because I never wear jeans myself. As for best time to go I always generally say 'now', busy season means more boys but also more customers thus less choice
