vinapu

yes , the same guy he is bit of TV personality, her's with G in his 'On Bed " series

I have habit of asking my long time off if they want something to eat and if they want, we go to some place before we head for hotel. Even if we can't hold conversation because of his poor / no English we still can smile at each other and I can't see problem , at least on my side. " I like you " and ' you are beautiful" they always understand and soi do I when they tell me I'm handsome regardless how undeveloped their Thinglish is

nation and it's visitors should be eternally grateful that somebody did not get an idea to evacuate whole city for event, that would be a sight !

I can imagine many things but that one I can't

I have very recent although not Thai related story to back you up. Last weekend school friend visited me and it was our reunion after almost 40 years so lots of catching of old times and old friends was to be done . Subject came to vacation of 1978 we spent together with few other friends and he said ' I remember when we were on the bus from A to B and J was beaten by drunk passenger " of course I remember but it was on the bus from C to D, not A to B, said I. He was adamant but I had solution, journal of that vacation in my attic. So I dug it and pronto : written by my own hand that memorable day "on the bus from A to B, J was hit in the face by the drunk" I was ready to bet thousands that it was C to D , so much about memory.

'your garments done already', message from tailor, laundry or dry cleaner ?

You may be right in your suspicions but not necessarily so . While in real life there are free lunches certainly you are not in financial position to extract one from that boy so yes pay him up and tell him to save that money, whether he will listen is another story and not your problem.I'd pay at end of your time together but make sure you put money for that aside daily so you will not run out of funds. My experience is mixed. Once I took Bangkok boy to Pattaya for few days at his request and all he wanted is to pay off fee to his bar and expenses while in Pattaya. He kept his side of bargain and did not request me to buy him anything costly . At end of trip I gave him my long time rate for each day we were together and he was clearly reluctant to take it but eventually several kisses and few tears later he did, certainly he earned it. I was so moved by him sticking to his word that made mistake of giving him my e-mail to keep in touch. After few of ' how are you , missing you every day type" requests for loans or give aways started and not even in small amounts, complete with account number and instructions how to do it. But I stand my stingy ground. Next time I visited his bar he created kind of scene that I offed other boy , not him and this is where things between us ended. Never heard from him again so I assume he was more upset with me than I with his antics. Other case was completely opposite , I spent few days and night with Cambodian in Siem Reap and gave him my e-mail as well . We exchanged several before things silenced out but never got even smallest hint that he wants anything from me. Whether he was not brave enough to ask or he landed some regular job and decided to leave his MB past behind him by cutting all ties to former life out I will never know. It's why I say be careful but not paranoid , a lot of those boys are truly generous even if they don't have much to share so they share what they have.

yes, call it gay imperialism

I like that way of thinking, where's " I like it very much button ?"

where's disagreement ? by the way whole point of discussion is to see where people agree and where they differ, otherwise we will have just 'yes, yes , yes ' festival. My point was 2 headed: first - while memories are precious , dwelling on them may make one bitter and disappointed that's is over instead of focusing how we can have fun now and in future. For me best venue I ever set foot in Thailand was now defunct Aqua Spa, yet it' s gone and even my best memories will not resurrect it so i found Arena , Senso, Tawan , Moonlight , BBB and list goes and and on. Second - while scene is changed and shrunken there's still more than I can absorb during my pilgrimage, there are 15 boy bars in BKK , at one a night during 2 weeks foray it will be still one neglected. And just along Suriwong there's more places that we need for 1 massage a day during the same period. So instead looking for half empty part of glass why not enjoy well filled full half ? That IS my point

be nice !

yes , don't forget about us, waiting patiently for HotMale, Tawan and Jupiter chapters

don't go by ethnic origins , go by what you see and your heart beat, passport is irrelevant , how they look and perform is what we should care. I happened to have always good luck with Lao but I credit exactly that - luck , not their nationality. Lots of great Viets in Bkk to sample although Pattaya seems not to be that popular with them.

I'm pretty sure that then there were guys who were complaining how good it was in 1985. I'm not trying to be sarcastic but nostalgia for good times past seems to be recurring theme on gay forums and can't help but wonder if we really missed those good old days or rather our good younger years and more disposable income. No doubt scene changed and shrunk but for one's need we still have plenty of entertainment on our disposal . perhaps more than we can digest during 2-3 weeks vacations

welcome to the forum try again tonight, boy should be there, you don't want to return home with regrets

next time order drink 'vinapu special" . 50 % of gin and 50 % of gin, it should work better

hopefully you let us know how you liked it, no pressure though, LOL

great idea for both of you. I learned when taking boy somewhere for more than few hours it's very important to give him and myself some breathing space, reunion after couple of hours is always sweeter

for those who don't follow Mack's blog regularly he just recently added some impresions from Philippines trip, click link above and enjoy reading

lucky you

check PM please

am I ?

never had sleep disruption in BT due to soi noise and I stay in all 3 hotels there in various rooms, only caution is that it was before that new Music bar opened. It looks that LCR is back in business on Agoda

that's great because I like G better

specially Lao as far as I'm concerned
