vinapu

I never do because I like older stock but if you prefer youngish ones it's good practice to make sure guy is of proper age and that he has ID at all on him . You don't want be stopped at reception with guy in tow without ID or , horror of horrors, too young to be admitted although if you pick up guy from bar it's almost impossible those days. Note I used word 'almost"

that's very good idea as walk is short with Magic Touch massage on the way if one takes soi Wat Hualampong route, the shortest way from there

Thais, Lao, Viets, Cambodians and Myanmarese in that descending order /Thais least hairy/

I'd take train/ BTS / BTS / roll my suitcase to Tarnatwan from Chong Nonsi BTS / one station further from Sala Daeng / roughly the same distance but sidewalks on Narathiwas will be less crowded than ones Silom to get that first sample of Bangkok atmosphere. Phaya Thai is better than Makkasan where you have quite a walk to MRT / subway and at Silom MRT station you have again longer walk to Tarntawan. Keep in mind all: airport train , BTS / overhead railway / and MRT / subway / have separate ticket systems. But for first comer with big suitcase / what the hell you are taking with you for holidays in tropics? / taxi may be less stressing option but at that time of day be prepared to be stuck in traffic somewhere. 50 baht airport premium means that if you take taxi from airport and meter shows 350 you are paying 400, don't argue with driver as this is how surcharge works. If he takes highway he will be asking you to pay for tolls as you go. Spoon's advice of taking train and then taxi to Tarntawan is not a bad one but traffic again. Advice to change money in one of counters by airport train station on the lowest level is sound one , just make sure you are exactly by the ticket automates and entry to the station. Other counters in the airport have uniform but not as good rate so skip those unless you arriving past midnight when trains stop ( I know OP is not but others mat be reading this too ) Taxis in Bangkok are everywhere and if you don't see one it means you got blind suddenly. They are cheap but also main contributor , by their abundance, to a city's traffic.

wise words I'd advice to employ general rule to engage in graphic interaction in the bar only if a guy actually initiates it by lowering his briefs for example or placing one's hand THERE.

still creates a bit of veil of mystery

You don't even have an idea yet how fantastic that trip will be. Thank you for putting it all together , bodes well for your future trip report we are waiting for patiently

I like that way of thinking , either we use real name, number or nick and omit explicit part or we hide identity / I like your Perfect, Runner Up, Sex God etc substitutes / and then reveal true nature of world peace discussion with guys.

don't worry, we are grown people here , in fact in most cases growing for a long time

not THAT Jesus I presume

Yes, Sunee Plaza in Pattaya, plaza is bit hidden but only short walk from main drags. Yes , guys like it and those small tips are accumulating sometimes quite fast. Visit in that bar is a must if you not shy. If you are shy, even more recommended as it will cure you fast from that alignment.

true but still looks great and it's as friendly as always

at Nice Boys you can call guy from the scene for a quick feel of his rigid member in exchange for 20 baht tip . I tip 20 baht each time waiter brings drink and in restaurant when total tab is less than 300. 20 baht buys you tray of freshly peeled fruit on the street, healthy snack or two pieces of pork on the stick, less healthy one

From my experience answers is yes, sure they may have other duties so not always times, his and yours, my be aligned but quite often if I liked LT with guy I ask him to come during day and most often than not they agree. As long as I release him before his bar duty there's no off fee, if you want to keep him during bar time , you must pat bar fee. Usually I give him money and he will handle that. The same with massage guys , if they come after shop is closing there's no fee to be paid to the shop. Muscled guys take their gym time seriously and quite a few times we couldn't agree on timing during day because , believe or not, they preferred gym time to farang's tip. But likely is why they have bodies like they have - due to sticking to a training regime so I never held it against them.

keep trying , keep trying , in meantime suffer in silence , LOL

like they couldn't just charge them up front which would save lives one in Complex bears name ZING RESORT, another one, on main street is ZING HOTEL

did somebody actually braved in to see the show and guys?

while butterflying has it's own advantages so does staying with known quality. I'm not sure it's related to growing in years or just getting more experience but when I see two guys smiling at me in the bar, one known and other new to me there's at ;east 60% chance I'd go with one I know already.

yes, if you are interested in any of the staff in the bars or massages , investigate discreetly if they are willing to go with you. They may , even if normally they don't do it Best source are themselves so ask them directly bypassing intermediaries although if you are familiar with other guy from that venue you may ask him about this or that waiter / mamasan / masseur. Your chances are increasing if you already known in the place so one guy may pimp his work friend to you. Don't get discouraged if idea is rejected first time, try again later in the evening or few days later. Speaking from experience.

perhaps to lift anybody's spirit even more we should remind ourselves that story reported by paulsf https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/10874-different-kind-of-bangkok-happy-ending/

it's tempting to say , many of their patrons are surprisingly honest too. being moneyboy does not make one more prone to dishonesty IMNSHO. In 20 trips I had only one case when guy, who was a bit drunk , took visible interest in my shirt pocket so I felt bit dis-comfortable . It was in Happy Boys , now defunct bar in Sunny Plaza vicinity. Other than that never ever in bar or massage I had any problems. It's one of reasons I like Thailand , never need to look behind my back. Still basic sensible precaution should be taken, no need to take wad of 20 1000 baht notes when visiting bar although 20 20 baht notes may help, particularly in Nice Boys , Sunee

it greatly depends on our preferred type, if guy I offed had ID showing they are borderline 18 or even 22 it would mean only one thing for me - ID is fake .

I tend to ignore them in friendliest possible way and certainly don't let them be involved in my decision making process, I prefer to call prospective guys myself. But I'm not their enemy and few times / BBB, Screwboys , Moonlight / I find them very helpful i.e. ' you boy not here today but if you want I call him at home to come bar" , one at BBB was instrumental in convincing boy he should not to be reluctant to go with me because I'm good guy. So keep mamasans at bay with help of 50-100 baht tip and firm statement ' I like girls better ", works for me

nice bodies , all

they have guy at the elevator who takes care about those things , collecting ID and recording it in big book, when your companion is leaving he gets back his ID and must sign for it. Keep in mind your regular friends visiting you just far a talk or drink even during daytime will go through the same procedure. You will be called in the room to confirm all is in order. I agree with Boy 69, and find those measures unnecessary but it's non issue for me .
