I'd scoop all the coins since I like change and if feel inclined to tip I'd give 20 baht note out of my pocket. But to avoid this type of awkward bar situations which are very common I always try to have lots of small notes and few coins and pay them exact amount plus whatever tip I feel is suitable, in bar usually 20 per serving.

spot on unfortunately

I like his looks and would gladly hug him with heartfelt condolences

i liked your trip to Cambodia by train story the best, I think it's still among 20 of the most liked threads on this forum ever

all of them will do, actually coming with somebody makes you less of a target for pestering mamasans because they will think you are with boyfriend already. On another hand be prepared that some adventurous boys will suggest they will go with both of you and make sure you prepare yourself with an answer. BoyzBoyzBoyz is in my opinion the best bar in whole Thailand so make sure you will not miss it. I like boys of Tawan and show at Jupiter better but overall BBB is the king in my book.

yes , you better do !

no , my comment was not directed at any posters here but of general nature . Victims of scam usually feel ashamed after realizing that it could be easily prevented and tend to keep mum about their misadventures. Only if somebody brave enough tells his story in the open, others feel they are not alone and are telling about their's trials. On the anonymous forum like here some may fear that their admission may be followed by a barrage of criticism and ridicule so will keep quiet too. Again , those are my general observations and in no way directed at contributors here. It may be the same mechanism which prevents victims of abuse from going open with their story, . mixture of shame and self-flagellation. It's why scams are spreading like fire before somebody speaks out and warns others.

OK, since we seem to be back to civilization few things I can add into merit of this thread 1.I never experienced scam in Thailand nor even attempt to be scammed other than few offs when boy clearly from the beginning did not intend to perform as promised / few really means two, both noted in my reports here/ 2.I never had anything stolen in Thailand either with possible exception of pocketlifting in BTS but even this I'm not clear as money simply could fall of my pocket when reaching to buy something or a fare, only thing I know is I left HERO with couple hundred more than I arrived to the hotel. 3. The same can be said about every other country I ever visited and I visited plenty as we human race can be assholes but it looks for me we are honest assholes. But scams may happen everywhere and it pays to be aware of possibility even in most unlikely places - one of my family members received fake 100 USD bill from Swiss bank ! 4. Since it was asked in one of posts - I don't even consider massage places high risk for theft, I see crowded pavements and transport as well as my room higher risk places but again it never happend with possible exception in point 2. And this included situations where I left money in the open / rarely / and case when I left room with boy inside and several thousand baht in open bag, nothing missing upon return 1/2 hr later. 5. Scams do happen in Thailand and every guide contains warnings with jet ski and gem ones in particular. My friend was scammed on fake gems but my consolation to him was if they were real and you will wear them everybody would think you are a gay which wiped his tears so too speak. 6. Problems with scam victims is that most of them will never report they were ones for fear of revealing how stupid they are / were. While two things can't be hidden- pregnancy and idiocy, some will still try. So fact that scams are not reported or even denied it ever happened may not necessary reflect truth

this was an original idea of this thread firecat in case you did not notice

Your post is laughable, if one responds to post from page 1 it will not be posted on page 1 but as last post on whatever last page it will be at the moment It's ridiculous that poster with such long experience on the board doesn't understand those posting mechanics. If I said I read last 5 pages in one go it means I did , thinking I lied it's just idiotic. If your own medicine doesn't taste well please swallow with water

it stressed out , you can always visit Good Boys in Sunee to calm down your nerves

brilliant idea

paul and jim start worrying about senior rates when they will be applicable to you

Too bad some care about yours, including me, if only to remind you that you forgot your usual invectives like 'laughable", " ridiculous" /post 59 / and 'idiotic ' /post 63 / but my guess would be your A/C malfunctioned or something. My biggest Thai scam is this thread which was supposed to be enjoyable and entertaining but it turned anything but. I read last 5 pages in one go today and it was least pleasant experience I had on this forum since joining in 3 years ago.

look at bright side , your avatar is as for me , still leaving Hunchback of Notre Dame behind I guess

menu translation priceless . "friend pig" almost beats " fried children" I saw once in Gorakhpur, India

I like those specially if they are bigger and stronger than me so they can defend themselves against my harassment , in meantime wrestling can be lots of fun

I don't know about you but guy above is definitely both! LOL

look at the bright side , they listened to your prayers and you live to tell the tale

Tawan , Jupiter, Bangkok Massage soi Twilight, Senso, Arena ,Prince, all walking distance from each other in Silom area V club in Ari area , BananaClub and Urban Male in Sukhumvit soi 23 should keep your friend occupied and his wallet steadily emptied for about 2 weeks Tell him to keep eyes wide open because he can find muscle in plenty places , sometimes even unexpected. I'm still missing One from Screwboys for example

I walk plenty, heat or not , just because I like. Only places in Pattaya I use baht buses or motorsai are to Jomtien and back and to/ from bus station. But truth for me is I like Boyztown so much I can envision moving around the block without crossing main streets during my whole stay in Pattaya.

I'm impressed with my sharp eye. LOL

not that I'm fussy but over all I recall only two times when I had problems with hotel rooms in Thailand. Poorly flushing toilet in Om Yim leading to excessive water usage and durian infused refrigerator smelling whole room after opened in Nantra Silom , even those hardly disasters.

you are right on my last day in BKK on Jun 9th I commented to a boy I was with that lots of people are wearing yellow ' Bike for a Dad" t-shirts. He explained that "today is His 70th anniversary of coronation", what puzzled me was not a matter of fact answer , but a fact that he felt compelled to whisper that to my ear instead of saying it loudly. so there's something simmering under all those smiles it seems

??? you think when they change name water in a pool will be more dry or what?
