vinapu

just let it go

I'd not worry, if Agung doesn't erupt during your stay you will not need an insurance. If it does , chances unfortunately are , you will not need either that's the one in the back as seen early in the morning from Batur volcano

Thank you for bringing this up, visit there can be combined with visit to Bank of Thailand museum in old mansion on other side of bridge, still on Bangkok side of the river. Now I know where to go on the first day of my trip whenever it will be. In meantime hope ChristianPFC, well know book worm, will visit and report his impression on his blog and perhaps even here.

Thank you for an interesting report, gaps for imagination included. Reading if I recalled my first impression of Pattaya which I visited only on my 9th trip to LOS. It was not good at all , perhpas even worse than one you expressed but urged by some members - firecat , anonone and 1moRussian to give her a chance decided to do and on next visit I liked her better. In time number of days spent there increased to a 50/50 last trip. I agree Bangkok is world class city , never boring for a moment and scene is more varied , blessed with great massage places but Pattaya has some advantages, everywhere is close , breeze from the sea helps reduce stifling heat and prices are more user friendly although I had 4000 requests for long time there as well but boys were more inclined to reduce it fast. So , like other said to me , give her a chance. waitng for next installment

Great report and great to hear you had good experience at Fah massage, I liked it as well in September. No wonder bars are going out of customers first and out of business shortly after if owners don't have energy or desire to whip up stuff to mind business as you experience at Bamboo certifies. While in may be good idea not be accosted by the staff in normal bar or restaurant but in places like Bamboo if client in not attended to , it's death sentence. Nobody goes there to quench the thirst , 7/11 in the corner does that job ( or is it Family Mart ? )

one can see if often in bars particularly during big cock show but I find it unsightly and don't like it. One of BBB boys with an impressive tool when asked why he never takes part in big cock show cited need to use rubber band to make sure he maintains rigidity and he doesn't want to, being afraid that it's not good for his cock in long run. If fact he said "I like my cock better than this tips" , no surprise considering he is married .

when you are coming back so we know when to start looking for your report ?

You want to ask Art to intermediate or you want to have Art coming to your room? I'm asking because in the past I had massages with him and he was quite good so I was contemplating to off him. Generally I'm not fan of asking mamasans to intermediate for for Art at arena I would made an exception, he is good guy also never forgets to ask me for a tip but I guess I spoiled him over years . LOL In Arena chances are that if you has massage during day they will not charge you an off fee, at least it happened to me in the past as reported above but unfortunately not always so better be discreet to save 700 baht

I like when boys are supporting each other instead if fighting for customer, even if that customer is me / it happened and is recorded on this forum /

it only confirms that each one of us has own prescription for fun and there are also those for whom any shower would destroy an experience. I don't mean this to be sarcastic, we have reports here about joy of getting intimate with boy just after workouts for example. I, for one , because of generally dry skin , like oil residue and when showering with boy after massage I like to soap him but don't let him to soap me.

it may also depend of boy status in the place i.e. whether he is on salary, regardless how meager or just freelancer. One of Body Club / in Ambiance / boys told me that he can leave at any time since he get nothing form the place, just client tips.

That's logic and beautiful theory but not always works that way and not only in Thailand bars. Millions of people in our countries are working under contract with no competition clause inserted, sometimes even without knowing it. I don't even need to cite 'one of my friends' type of stories as I myself once lost a job and main condition of my severance packet was that I can't work for any competitor within next 2 years without seeking former employer's blessing. It was negotiated by the lawyers so must be legal.

clear discreetly with boy first whether he is interested. Some boys may not be receptive to an idea but most likely will. I'd try to bypass official channel but some boys may be reluctant so mamasan may need to be involved Same masssage places may quote you very high off fee - in such a case most likely they will be collecting boy's minimum tip up front but make sure by asking straight question of how much of your fee boy gets . Some places my even let you to take boy after hours for free as long as you had paid massage in the shop the same day, not even necessarily with the same boy but this seems to be at their whim , not a policy. I had it few times in Arena and know somebody who got similar treat at now defunct Playboy

as prospective off his dressing standard are irrelevant since he would be undressed seconds after door closed , right?

you read me well , while ago I was thinking about using his services but did not do because generally I don't like fixing appointments with guys I'm not familiar with. l like all liturgy of bars and massage places with options in front of my eyes and ability to see who smiles at me, so apps and picking up boys from tablet or smartphone are not my things at all

you may find that it was better to stay in bar, cheaper and no stuff to carry home you don't really need

you just reminded me that I need to renew subscription, LOL

don't worry , we all had the same experience in the beginning , in time it will be YOU who will be that snatching boy customer

remember . boy are not mind readers and if not given proper signals they may not read what you up to properly

My impression from September visit is similar. Tip expectancies were not reduced but certainly boys were more amendable to long time and in the room trying to provide almost real boyfriend exoperience

yes , your and few other recent reports made me to abandon any plans of visiting between Christmas and week after New Year. Low and shoulder seasons have their advantages

yes Bobby, in boy bars barfine is called 'off fee'

I think there's no time like first time and I'm sorry to hear about food thing spoiling experience , that's novelty for me as never had those problems in Thailand. Perhaps you tried street food too fast ? Really I wonder but Boy69 may be right, spices not spoilage could made you running. Second report in as many days about disappointment in Senso, what is going on there? With Arena it's my favorite place and both are only ones my heart is pounding on approach , just like OP. Never disappointed in both but clearly looks I had jut good luck or what? Hope your next day adventures will be more fun.

While it makes great sense to tip boy 100 or more instead of buying him another drink for which he may get 20-50 they may actually have a weekly / monthly quota of drinks they are supposed to extract from customers so we should keep this in mind. If boy is sitting with me I buy him 1 drink and just one but only if I invited him to sit beside , if he plants himself usually i decline unless he is attractive enough. Tip 100 unless I keep him beside for longer than 1/2 hr or length of show, That's for sitting . If some discreet survey of goodies is involved or God forbid public kissing , I add another 100-200. If I will be offing him , no tip , just a drink. For semi-regular boys ie. offed already at least 2 times so bar had my of fees already , I have a tip but don't buy them a drink and tell them I'm not offing you tonight so they are free to pursue other options.

you not only one, disadvantage of living through the winter in northern countries I guess
