that's beauty of gentlemanly discussion, it always veers back to somebody's underwear or it's content

110 USD !, If i spent that much on pants I would feel pick-pocketed already , LOL But I'm pretty sure that similar can be found on Chatuchak or even Talat Bobae for 1/3 of price as idea is neat

I heard but in my 15 trips I was never asked about money on me , not than I'm not prepared

while I support this line of thinking sometimes when observing how vacationers are dressed I wish they care to look more sexy so to speak particularly in places when food is consumed. This is where Thai boys stand out , they may be short of cash all the time but always dressed neatly and often even overdressed for my taste. Only once in my 15 trips I offed guy who walked to hotel in track pants as an example

first , try not to accumulate too many bundles , easy to spent on small purchases like BTS, drinks or ice cream. I personally like to have plenty of change on me if only in order to avoid waiting for proper change in bars and to have handy money for small tips like in restaurants. So before I hit bars my first stop is usually change counter at Sala Daeng BTS If you stuck with bundles easy to spent in Swampy , not necessarily in overpriced duty frees but there's Family Mart in the far right end with normal prices. As mentioned above I always give my remaining change to cleaning lady in airport I pass by or drop in charity box. Once I saw somebody leaving several coins on the seat in the train at Swampy , I guess he had the some problem of what to do with spare change, nice problem to have

nothing funny here,public flogging as penalty it reads like history books about 13 century, not in era of computers and space missions. Is Indonesia another country going to dogs?

I'm old school and still can calculate, say 3.874*5.158 using just pen and paper, no need for spreadsheets

good people look good

our mothers always look / looked better than all other ladies and if somebody has doubts I truly feel sorry for him

advice is sound but it will always be problem of quantification , how much is 'too much ". When I compare my spending with Christian as per his blog I feel too prolific, but when calculate my cost of boy-hour, , I feel much better

name intriguing for just a restaurant but perhaps it's the whole point?

I think a lot of people have regrets of wasting money in the past and usually it's too late to repair it. We buy too many things too often and seldom later on we can say we had fun wasting it. You are right about Boys having that regret as their earning potential usually diminishes with age and I'm not even sure thay had so much fun entertaining us in their best earning years.

I like that part

I used to keep it as well but than decided to cut on such a waste and with exception on universal currencies like USD and Euro I made a point of spending everything. Keeping few 20 $ / euro notes helps as in last day or two I may exchange only what I need to tidy me over. What I don't manage to spent I either drop in charity boxes in the airports or give to some random person , usually cleaner in the airport. This helps de-cluter my desk

check e-bay , 1000 baht notes from first issue ( one with king and queen on reverse) in good condition may be bought by collectors at substantial premium.

thanks for warning , plate of un-ordered snacks , that's hard selling indeed , I guess aimed at clients who show only once. I can hardly imagine it would work with regulars

that's good news and hope you will report to us your findings, PM also welcomed

Yes, sadly my observations are matching yours. Lots of good information is coming to me via PM but very little of it finds its way to the threads and I kind of know why. I think it's like a flu season on the board and eventually it will go away to let things to return to friendly normal. At end of day this is great forum. You are not 'weak' , perhaps you lost temporarily sense of fun of contributing. Been there before but I carry on , it's like at work, sometimes you need to work with people you don't like. Often overlooked fact is that newcomers may be put off by initial reaction or complete lack thereof. My first post ever here was trip report. Because I was unknown I was afraid that it will be labelled as fantasy or so and in such a case I knew it will be my last. Instead I was encouraged by Michael, williewillie, anonone and a447a to carry on and continue. So I did.

Good and uplifting news indeed. We can only wish both new bars good luck. Description of mix of boys as 'attractive" is very promising. We need to send few more spies to Boy66 and Jupiter 2018 to see how they will be doing during low season.

don't forget about Bali, 4 hr flight but island is very interesting and easy to explore due to small size

what do you mean 'we cannot"?

I know how Christian looks like having been privileged to meet him many times. I was not trying to be sarcastic, just curious.

with supporting friends like this numazu, who needs enemies

Christian, if that's you in that picture are you gaining weight or it's just mirror illusion? going back to the merit I don't think disagreement is a problem.Unnecessary prolonged dwelling is as it becomes annoying and boring. If every time somebody mentions coke or soi 4 I will be declaring I don't like it I risk on being enemy of everybody , not just coke and soi 4 lovers if only for dispensing boredom and negativity. And name calling is usually invitation to a war. There's no need to call people idiots if only for well known reason that pregnancy and idiocy can't be hidden so we can form our own opinion who is and who is not without resorting to external consultation.

Since you started negotiations I hope you hired him for that short time. I looks that day before for some reason he couldn't do long time or perhaps he counted money in his imagination and decided not to waste such an opportunity next day.
