and Hot Male beer bar on street level ( I think they changed name now) , it how i got my first off last trip after arriving in hotel past 1am , I freshened up and walked to Patpong 2, guy I knew from before at the bar was still there so I took him home to start trip in style. Jason above shares great idea - after bars close walking the area is almost always guaranteeing that we may spot guys eating , drinking , talking or just sitting alone or socialising , looking for that last chance to catch somebody with cash. 1000 if that is stated that will be expected. Nothing stops you from giving more , specially if you are happy with service or simply in spending mood.

money funding all that debaucherous spending comes from foreign exchange so while specifics are unknown, amounts we exchanged and presumably spent is known ................... there's sizable chunk of visitors , specially in seaside resort who just lounge there on the beach during day and on the balcony or wandering streets at night spending very little so it somehow evens out. My friend who was in Thailand at the same time in January I was, spent less per week than my long time tip for one night was.

money for that comes from either foreign exchange or money transfer to Thai bank accounts of those lucky enough to have it so it can be easily captured for statistics.

this is what I like about those two, they try to support business of each other. When I was sitting with T he pointed out who his brother is, even if he was already sitting with customer. But I wouldn't entertain an idea of offing them both at the same time, dinner together, yes , but not checking stamp collection.

there were 2 brothers working at Arena, I saw them years later in Dreamboys and recently in The One (Tawan). There's also set working at Moonlight, well known #10 being one of them.

confirmed, it's what he told me, it's why I was initially confused and suspecting , like colmx that there are 2 sets of brothers there

whatever you were told , it's true

indeed, thank you for pointing it out. I think it's just all talk about high values as they have their numbers to see who is coming and where is lodging

sounds very cryptic

there are always exceptions but they are rare , it's why they are called exceptions

I see five reasons : 1/ I have money to pay 2/ by paying one is not entangled in the web of favours, dinners, shopping trips and such, deal s done , money paid , see you next time or not 3/ combing through apps offerings is waste of precious vacation time and puts me to sleep (alone) 4/ worlds wealth spreads more evenly with more money going to the iPhone starved needy 5/ I get tickled by heckling "that much for just 3 hours !!!, it's spoiling market for others ( for those suspicious , no I don't inflate prices paid I'm reporting just to have that tickle )

I also had a pleasure of his company and I liked it as I like somewhat audacious types. He did not came across as very greedy although he asked 3000 for short time which I considered reasonable since we had some unpaid fun in the bar as well. But he must be kept on short leash - when asked to go for smoke it took bit longer than reasonable prompting me to call him back politely ' hey you , come here"

hope he did not do it while arriving in your place on his motorbike. I had once boy in such situation , we both had good laugh and I gave him 50 in 10 baht coins as 5 tokens of appreciation of good wit

it's Ok

Pleased to hear that and hope you are right although prudent people never say ' never'. Singapore is a city-state while Bangkok has both burden and support of the rest of quite vast and populous country so they are in different competitions really

you can buy new IPhone , no need to lure Olddaddy to Brazil to rob him from his there

stop that, you are seasoned writer and it's oversight you did not get Nobel prize for literature yet

trimmed, certainly not clean shaven as that looks very girly for me and I like to point it to poor boys who did close shave. Even have one who shrewdly told me ' next time you come , you tell me I don't shave for you". Surprise - we both kept out side of bargain

I say the same , 12 long times at 5000 a night. I think that is money better spent

considering that my first visit in Tawan was in 2013 certainly my reference point is different. As I already said , I wish boys had their heads in their phones leaving me alone for a moment but that's still unrealized dram for me there

you were first, I just wanted to say the same , lol

I, for one when asked " what you will give me?' , would quote my price and stick to it no matter what boy would say. ............. I like you generosity and have feeling you did right thing even if you overpaid the guy, you did not become poorer but certainly you left him happier. Good karma to follow.
