vinapu

good to hear that we will hear some updates of situation in Pattaya from you, LOL

not necessarily , perhaps it was just 1 night stop so they took off before you even woke up in the morning

we can only wish them well

you mean blessed not cursed ? Surprised you of all people are in such a loss of words

I'm surprised they don't have it already, after all infrastructure ie. roads are already there. I understand connecting by rail takes time and investmnet but by bus? Just buy them , give them number and heavily advertise in the beginning and off it goes. Only problem will be pacifying taxi mafia but it should not be big problem in military ruled state or is it exactly because of that ?

Still reasonable level and we can live with such modest increase

hope is is good at boom-boom as well

is it 'our' Oskar bar in the Boyztown or other similarly named venue somewhere else? I was so many times there but fact is , never ventured past first row of chairs outside so no idea how our Oskar looks inside

oo, it looks "my" James is the same boy, no harm done if he would be back

you are a gentleman and a scholar !!!

excatly the right move, you are there for boys not mamasan so don't let an experience with him derail you now you got me curious, one of my favorite boys from there was James but in Dec I was told he left for good so I I wonder if that's the same boy or somebody is using the same nick - your James was twinky or hunky? I guess nothing easier for me to find out than jumping on the plane but I guess asking is a bit easier and cheaper

it looks that for some reason he labelled you easy target and good to know you stood your ground. Unfortunately from time to time we hear similar stories , guy great for one turns nightmare for another one . Fortunately also sometimes it's other way around. It's better to chalk it off to experience and move on than nursing bitterness. You are right , it was not worth to spoil vacation time by creating a scene , sweet revenge would be re-visit and completely ignore the dickhead.

if guy buys himself drink on my tab without asking me, even if I refuse to pay I'm already pissed off. How one can prevent it? by pretending nothing happened? or just shrugging it off ? I wonder

to Siem Reap you go for ruins, as for boys , even Cambodian, I think Pattaya wins hands down

I for one actually do that job by myself and motion boy to come without asking mamasan to do that. Very rarely I tip mamasans and only if they either helped me with something or I like them. On my last visit to Nice Boys when told mamasan that I like bigger boys he actually told me how to get to Boyztown where I should have my types - this I liked and I think he earned his tip honestly , not that I needed this info from him but still... Being direct work the best , usually when they ask for tips I tell them "I tip boys only" and when they ask for drink I employ short ' no' but when bar hopping sometimes I'm saturated with drinks then I found mamasans handy. I tell them " I don't want drink but I will buy one for you". That way bar has drink sold, I'm left alone and mamasan is my friend. This is what I do and not only in bars and not only in Thailand. Learned my lesson in long gone my youth and ever since I'm firm believer in pay as you go system. And I try to have exact change to deprive them chance of shortchanging me.

if you don't try you will never know if you like it or no so just go. After all it's just 2 hrs from Bangkok. Don't count on many Tawan types though.

let me think for a minute...

but you can force yourself to if only you wish to write it

I agree , that's big winning point of today's technology. One of my friends took several pictures of extremely cute guy on MRT who being glued to his smartphone obviously did not even realize he is an object of such intensive admiration, well justified I haste to add.

There's danger this thread will convert to one about Steve instead being about murderer , his motives and his victim as originally intended.

Glad you had fun there and even more that you did not forget about us and reported back. I'm curious if Christian PFC made there as there were some musings he may be in Pattaya on 23 rd.( post # 24)

Check Boy66 in former Jupiter location , new Jupiter in soi 4 and don't forget about Screwboys. Report here of your findings would be nice to read.

I second what Jasper said, great and very readable report. Your assessment of Nantra Silom is very fair although I'm surprised you had issues with room cleanliness , perhaps they start slacking which is not good, I never had such issue there specially that modern ambiance makes it very easy to clean all corners. But location is close to perfection and value for money is great so after demise on Om Yim, Nantra is my first choice now. They have only 3 types of room , no closet in either one but I find it to be of no issue as like OP I travel lightly. Since you did not employ rule of taking only boy who smiles at you it's always a risk that it will be shortage of chemistry and I'm glad encounter with Mekhin went pretty well. I'm glad you like #25 at Jupiter, I know him from Tawan and am glad he is doing well at his new bar.

I think Narcissus is gone but Blue House is still in business, hopefully somebody on the ground now will confirm

I told you so
