count your blessings that you there and can pay it

keep in mind we may be for the same type of boys and still boy I will be salivating about will not warrant second glance from you and other way around. I tested it many times when visiting bars and massages with other forum members, always it was that something which caused me to like other boy then their best pick

cheap skate would use public bus for 6.50

since it's more than 20 years since I was last time in sauna I'm in boycott movement ever since, just not my environment , dual pricing or not

who are Beatles, I never heard about them ? It's you favorite Singaporean band ?

sure but it helps to understand where cheap room rates are coming from, inconvenient or noisy location, lack of amenities, aged furniture , noisy A/C and yes , shortcutting on maintenance so at timers we need to make decision z909 mentioned in post #9 , save 400 baht and endure mold in shower and lack of toiletries or splurge for that quieter air conditioner or newish towel . There's no coincidence that Le Cafe Royal is closed while Ambiance and Copa are still running as Cafe had chepest rates and free breakfast thrown in last Sept. Few of us mourn Om Yim / now Na Nara hostel / great gay friendly place for years which started sliding in maintenance while trying to maintain low rates . In short one gets what one pays for which doesn't meant great bargains and values for money don't exist -they do and Malaysia Hotel comes to mind imediately

... if not even worse

hailing taxi in Bangkok is one of easiest things to do in the entire world and I'm surprised it needs to be outsourced treat looks fabulous - where you get it ? Doesn't look as Foodland Patpong offering , LOL

not that I'm big fan of dual pricing but as long as it's posted up front I don't mind. Our protests about it's unfairness are bit sanctimonious when we take into account that often we are on receiving end of it's benefits - visa free access to Thailand for most westerners is one example. Chakran's point about visa fees it well pointed, unknown to most of us is fact that some of our countries are charging hefty visa fee up front and it's not refundable in case admission or visa is not granted.

perhaps Siam Heritage loosened up a bit because I'm pretty sure on one of forums we had while ago report on no trouble with guest although it could be a case of boy being registered with poster

.....walk with boy picked from Tawan without a need to cross the street

I'm shocked, luxury it is not but modern, spacious and good value for a price . Never felt unsafe walking there and I stay at Nantra at least 2-3 nights every trip in last few years . I find it particularly useful, due to low price, for those late arrival , early departures as it's more economical to say in cheaper hotel when one arrives at 3 a.m, or departures at so doesn't have full time use of the room. I'm not one of those who would camp till 7 am in the airport to avoid paying for half used night .,

Soi will declare independence from Thailand and will shortly become rich city-state within another city way Vatican is

interviewing bar boys is not a job , it's fun - and fun costs money

that's outright grave sin

this is our wishful thinking, go-go bars are not gay bars , they are boy bars. Sure we try to make them preserve of gays but it really never was a case. I agree that with influx of younger and Asian crowd there are more females in boy bars, they seem to be tipping well and generally behaving as far as my annoyances are concerned.

welcome back after long absence

this issue may dissipate with age, just my guess. While you are correct that this is common complaint I can't confirm that by my experience. Probably because I deal with older boys , like 25 + who are behaving better . Rarely they turn TV without asking me first and the same goes with opening rooms fridge - usually that's me who ask them if they want something to drink. I wouldn't hesitate to say ' no ' to TV request and to point what in the fridge is available ( my stuff ) and what is not ( hotel provided ). A little bit of drink may help to loose boy a bit if he seems apprehensive

While some boys may not be willing to do long time how overnight stay is called there;s no shortage of those who will as my experience shows - I almost exclusively off long time and rare is my night in Thailand I sleep alone / just one lonely night on my last trip in Sept for example/ This goes for both bar and massage boys. Sometimes boy may not go with you long time at the first try so try him and let him to try you short time and if he likes you next time you have overnighter in him. Things to watch- boy agrees to long time and then is looking for excuses to leave early so make sure you tell him that in such a case if will be short tip only. But this is rare, perhaps 1 in 20. To avoid misunderstanding what I mean by long time I always point out '' till breakfast" as I usually treat my longtimers with breakfast go for it , there's no thing like morning gymnastics !

apps may be good for hook-ups but with demise of bars entertainment factor would be gone, at least as far as I'm concerned

reason good enough for me to fly in, some of my earlier trips to Thailand included only single visit to bar, with age I seem to frequent them more often though.

either Sunee, Jomtien or Boyztown are good to do your search, first pick up boy you like , then tell him what you want. Asking him to come during day next day saves you bar's off fee. Searching can be more fun than actual encounter

bar staff heard and saw it all and more so I'd not be concerned about being laughing stock , actually it would be good idea to show pictures like above to boy who takes your fancy to show what you are looking for. My guess even is they may like it. I off mostly better built boys and l found they are into that kinds of games - my favorite is when in the middle of the night boy wants to get a drink or go tho the loo and I say no problem , go, while still holding to him tightly and a bit of struggle follows, they always win but get idea what I like so my advice is , don't be shy, just do it

after visiting Jim Thompson house take a khlong / canal/ tourist boat to Khao San area if you really want to go there swith stop to visit Golden Mount Temple . Another water fun trip. Throne Hall an Vinamek palace admission may be included in the Grand Palace ticket , at least it was when I was there last time 2 years ago.

on two separate occasions I found that best way to beat crowds is to be there right at 8.30 when they open and make Emerald Buddha temple first stop leaving other Palace attractions for after that. I even managed to have temple to myself for few minutes.
