That's great to hear on both accounts. Safe return home and a Happy New Year

Sounds tempting but only sounds, turning A/C too low during hot spell is dangerous to our health when we are moving from very cold inside / room , bus train , car / to very hot outside, brisk business for pharmacies selling aspirin and the like in summer. In Thailand never ever I set a/c to lower then +26 Celsius and often feel sorry for a boys barely dressed shivering in the bars under A/C draft. As for boys clinging to me tightly I have better invention , not necessarily cheaper though. It's called tip negotiated in advance, works 87.63 % of the time

I wonder if this 1/3 or 30% is kind of industry standard as I heard the same at last twice including boy from BBB Inn who told me they are getting 510 out of 1700 massage fee touted as tip inclusive.

That's correct, not much more but still a bit more just in case you like boy and /or service and wish to tip more than planned.

depending of their country of citizenship they may qualify for 15 or 30 days visa waiver on arrival

if they ignore it it's only at their own peril

O my God !! What a excellent resource and a true labor of love. True and outstanding New Year gift from DivineMadman to Thai man admirers community. Long live and Happy New Year to you

My New Year wish to all members is than none of us will ever find himself to be in such situation. Only animals should be drinking water

"party" and "sober" in one sentence ? that's novelty

that's spirited community spirit !

that's our problem , after hearing so many sob stories we tend to become jaded and dismiss them as fake all the time but in fact boys, like everybody else have their dramas. Year ago BBB boy I always off long time told me he can stay past 1 a.m because he need to drive his bar friend to his mother funeral in Buriram. I thought it was just an excuse for not staying till morning but next evening mamasan actually confirmed that was a case.

enjoy your trip , you should be landing shortly

sglad , don't try to be too smart, creates headache for uninitiated.

make sure you have a valid will / just kidding, actually I find Hong Thong quite drinkable, particularly when blended with another dose of the same / reason I drink that stuff is my strong believing that travelers should taste and use as much of local products of country visited as possible Very interesting reflections on Thai society in this topic by the way. I'm glad I need to deal only with lower classes while there.

of course, everybody and his neighbor knows it's weightlifting

answer is yes and no doubt you are serious about trip preparation Have fun , fun , fun / I know you will /

many boys those day have a motorsai so transport is not a problem , you may actually get a lift on his vehicle. In Sept one of boys actually gave ME a lift to Hualampaong on his motorcycle to catch the train

the same here, being asked for taxi fare is usually sign that encounter was not entirely successful. I think I tip generously enough and if they asked I'd say ' you already got 2000 / 3000 / whatever On another hand if meeting was great I will threw 100 extra for taxi after all is paid but I do it rarely and on a whim.

GoldMember , hope you are getting ready for your trip. Have fun

well said ! after all boys are primary consideration and weather is secondary , far , far behind

thanks for a warning but now we know why ChristianPFC likes the place.They used to have hunkier boys in the past though. we are counting on steady diet of your reports while you are in Thailand.

I'm not a bar person so like Alexx and z909 above I'd not entertain such an option, particularly at expenses of off fee but I always make sure that I have Hong Thong or other equally classy Thai spirit in my room and always offer a boys shot or three. Taking boys for a meal before heading to the hotel is , on another hand, my standard operational procedure for all long time offs unless they decline. But based on posts in forums and conversation with boys , taking them out just for a drinking session is quite popular pastime for a lot of customers so I don't see anything weird or wasteful in doing that and perhaps it's even cheaper than taking them for a shopping trip to the mall or market, another popular activity I don't partake in. as for paying off fee for just a drinking session one may consider it waste of resources but I don't as sometimes seeing beautiful specimen I'm tempted to take him to my room just to look at him to no end or for hand holding only session.

Depending on size of your account.......

now you got me curious about the place

Thank you Moses S rozdhestvom Christovom vam vzaimno !
