That's fine but in order to keep all boys employed there must be some which supports 5-10 section and what is more important none is better than another.

that's always disadvantage of sightseeing with locals wherever it may be , good that you pointed it out . Even with most excellent guides you are bound to wear their glasses so to speak. And I'm sure that if somebody asked us to give them a tour of Bangkok, we 'd find a way of showing them Patpong, Silom and Suriwong even if they were our grandparents or their friends. And as always , Master of Suspense is at work !

thanks for long and hearty laugh bkkguy

than there';s danger you don't like good chunk of membership here

I like your attitude

and not limited to Thais either. In our countries we have many people who are buying stuff they don't need for a money they don't have to impress people they don't even like.

don't even try, enjoy what you like and utilize every opportunity. Slowing down time will come in due course and hopefully not any time soon

not a first time people are voting for a change and when it comes, package is not what they dreamed about

good news are piling up !

......and a tip. In most of gay massage places one can safely expect full service but as you said above, no room for shyness and expectancy must be communicated , otherwise bottom client may pick up total bottom boy or one may have top/top configuration. Actually it may be a lot of fun as long as client is adventurous enough

strange? You don't like men?

Welcome to the forum an my appologies for being silent but if was busy week for me . I can confirm what firecat said above but since those rates are for long time inevitably they start moving upwards and even in Pattaya in more popular bars popular boys may ask for much more than 1500 for long time. Sure , as suggested you can stand your ground and usually they yield but do it with tact as it does not make much sense to hit the sheets with unhappy boy. Some are just paying going rate but I have habit of negotiating both tip and length of time so boy knows what he gets and how long he is expected to suffer indignity of my company . I completely bypass mamasans when comes to discussion unless I need his translation . They usually will inflate quotation to have excuse to extract some money from boy. In Bangkok prices are higher and some hunks from Jupiter and Tawan may be quite demanding and it's up to you to decide if you yield. Easy to say but if you see men of your dreams available you may be inclined to pay up but before you do assess an attitude as I see no problem in inflating tip as long as he keeps his side of bargain . Again , as firecat said , Golden Cock, Nature Boy and Super A boys from soi 6 near Tawan are not as demanding and you may have your joy for 1000-1500. I'm more inclined to over pay than squeeze last baht out of boy but hate if they do what Christian mentioned and use excuses to leave earlier , in such a cases I pay less than I'd be paying for short time even and at next opportunity I tell them in no uncertain terms that I will not off them because last time they cut me on time . By grace of God my experience with long timers is much better than he mentioned but I had few who tried to leave earlier under invented excuse. But I negotiate time and tip before I off boy. In massage places as long as extra activities are provided i rarely deviate from 1000 / hr , 1500/1.5hr, 2000/ 2 hr tip which in some places like Senso or VClub is minimum tip , in others is well in excess of it but I guess in a world where only rich are pampered never hurts to spoil some poor massage boy to earn some merits. While I may ruin market for some punters I need to say that mostly I leave Thailand fully satisfied that I got excellent value for my money.

1. Good to know that you are there , it means soon we will be treated with another great trip report. 2. That is news as he was fixture there forever 3. no, guy I liked / look of / was daytime staff

I may be alone in that but for me even more fascinating is Ta Som, minuscle temple with big fig tree strangling compltely one of her gates / gopuras /

You are not alone in that on both counts. I actually drink quite a bit but when comes to discussing world peace in the bed I prefer to be sober having impression that i will enjoy it better

We can only hope that old saying '' a lot must change in order for everything stay the same " will work in that case

You are bringing valid point. When we look at those places with cold eye, truth is most of them really are fire traps with only one exit and not very accessible. Even those on ground level are not entirely safe with narrow door. But I guess it goes with territory

I agree and it's main engine to start planning next trip as soon as we returned home from previous one

thank you for an update but don't exaggerate, bar is on second floor , not on top of Bayioke sky hotel, no more climbing than to Dream boys or XSize. Beer bars are actually on the soi level, just go-go is upstairs probably to let horny first timers to release some steam before entering venue

changing operators would not bother us if not news that some of loyal staff with familiar faces were let go. If this cute guy from reception is gone , hell with them, amen

That's true , Tarntawan was / is / famous gay place and always marketed itself as first hotel in BKK to rise gay flag. Squandering it will be just a music for other places in area and yes , Raya comes to mind first as it comparable yet new. Om Yim is now backpacker place called Na Nara or something like that. I hope they fixed their maintenance problems as it was really nice place to stay and I slept there almost every trip for 2-3 nights

big time yes !

who is asking you? LOL

if they will change name most likely Tarntawan will fall off gay radar, the same way Om Yim did

Never hurts to check another bars , lesser crowd usually mean boys will be more amendable. But I guess Chinese national holiday has plenty to do with generating crowds. At end of day is good to know that bars are packed, I wonder if last weekend in Boyztown, Pattaya was the same , hope somebody present there now will chime in with news.
