vinapu

please keep an eye on developments and let us know when they open, my guess is they may be trying to be ready for influx of Chinese for National Holiday ( Oct 1st) break

some of us , including me can only hope that name stands for reality. If that will be a case than I need to look for some airport nearby, LOL

I don't think anybody would be offended here but because possibility of bots combing through the threads it may be good idea to asterisk certain words to avoid unwanted attention

I asked Scobby to move this thread to a main forum if at all possible.

form time to time they are and we even had on the forum thread devoted to one from Madagascar while ago

isn't regular price 300 and second drink 150 ? LOL ( once in Mandalay I was buying small painting and price for one was 10 $ but I was told ' we have promotion , 2 for 25 " , I'm not making it up, picture on my wall is silent witness. On serious note - do they still have model parade and if yes , how many boys on the display ?

looks it's fixed already

it looks that Scooby fixed it

they shouldn't , after all there you pay them enough. I can understand why budget places may ask for joiner fee / more water used , extra towel etc./ but they usually don't as they want repeat business as well I wish I could say the same , still a bit to go, sigh

but better count your change if you paid with 100 note, last two times I did I got 80 as change so as always , better to be prepared with exact change. I know it's great disservice to all visitors but in both cases I let them have that 10 baht extra.

that is exactly what I tell mamasans harassing me for tips

look at bright side - at least you are in Pattaya

market forces at work - Africans like hunks are rarity and therefore command higher price. Twinks are not stupid , they know from their better built bar friends how much they got and try higher as well but I found blunt explanation ' I like big boys " works. But Christian , biguyby and Boy 69 are correct although I preach what i don't practice because neither short time nor twinks are nor my territory but sometimes I go astray.

Looks that is solved, at least as far as I can see

Yep, I have a button ' you can't start new topic" in place where "start new topic" button was. Scooby perhaps need to look into issue.

it's perhaps towel charge as in heavy rain passengers are bringing quite a bit of water inside.

It's why , even knowing they don't like it I still continue to distribute tips and in fact pay in coins if I have them

you stay at the church that late?

looks serious, hopefully nobody was crushed. Don't they have better place to crash a crane than atop on my favorite , beside Arena, massage place ?

second part is even better , you better watch yourself as you may fall in love. Certainly fabulous vacations for all to envy

exactly opposite to me , for some bed is important for a good sleep , for others a pillow takes precedence and it's best if boy is that pillow.

you are talking about room prices or Long Time boy tips?

You are taking serious risk if you follow underscored comment of vinapu or the likes as it may mean different thing to different people. Sometimes out of boredom I read comments on agoda , expedia or booking.com on places I stay and know very well and am amazed what people are saying. We human race like to generalize based on sometimes very cursory experience.

replace ' fancy hotels' with ' boy tips' and you find that subject is well discussed and rehearsed here. questions abound but both big spenders and cheap charlies stick to their questionable habits no matter what we say

not necessarily, it depends on many factors. I think I told that story before -once when in Bangkok I learned that one of my childhood friends is there on business so we met . He is very successful businessman so I expected he will be staying in something like Conrad or Mandarin while in fact he was in some very ordinary hotel in one of Sukhumvit 20 something sois. He told me that while he probably could afford to book all hotel for himself he decided on ordinary room as almost all his time was spent outside on meetings , functions etc. so all he need was relatively traffic free quiet street hotel with only ordinary amenities. So some of our neighbors on the plane in economy may be actually sitting on pile of cash while others at front may be people of modest means who decided to treat themselves once of every 12 years.
