vinapu

this is when asked for recommendation we often advise ' go and see for yourself '

I don't think it's surprising if we are talking long term, chances are that older farangs have more money or at least more money to spent than younger ones, often burdened with mortgages , student loans and urge to have latte in every Starbucks they pass

welcome to the forum, thank you for your impressions and have a good time in Senso and Myanmar. Don't forget about us here.

we know

and even if they are current most boys looks much much better in flesh than on pictures, fountain of Oriental youth perhaps being reason

I like to think about myself as one going exclusively with straight or at least straight acting boys . Many a times when we are sitting in the room, still dressed, talking and drinking Hong Thong or whatever, I take his hand and notice his jeans bulging quite fast I can't stop wondering how straight really they are. Several members of this board can certify I'm not Adonis at all. Like fedssocr noticed above , we are not looking for labels , it's boys we want. No need to dismiss other's choices, there are always takers for boys we don't fancy, free or paid.

why you just don't catch taxi or hire motortaxi or songtaew for personal lift there ?

definitely yes, may be few were closed but I don't recall any substantial difference , they just informed that no beer today. For me it was blessing as one Copa boy who is bartender somewhere else during day because of ban was off from that job and I could snatch him right after arriving early afternoon

you not only one here who likes handsome boys good , one less farang to compete for his business, Jasper we are moving to front of the line ! on more serious note - did you off him that you have a reason to dismiss Jasper question in such manner ? what motivates you / and others / to make such comments I wonder ? Sounds like fart in the middle of the party. Nothing wrong with straight guys - as long as they have their looks. Our fathers were straight too.

so you know where to start your next trip, lol. Nakarat is easy as boys are outside so you can glance offerings without stepping in but Senso is nerve wracking like Arena or My Hero - you open door all all of the sudden all those smiling angels.

do it because based on recent trip reports, including mine they seem to be on the roll

I happened to be there on Vishaka Bucha, May 29th, Pattaya bars were opened but no alcohol was served till midnight so don't worry, just go. One day during trip instead of beer you can drink water, no big sacrifice even for me who considers drinking water animaals only privilege

me too, just 2/10 but at least Uzbekistan included. Lonely planet may have their best 10 destinations, what about vinapu's best 10: 1. BoyzBoyzBoyz, Pattaya 2. Arena Bangkok 3. Senso, Bangkok 4. Tawan , Bangkok 5. Moonlight, Bangkok 6. Abomb , Pattaya 7. Copa massage , Pattaya 8.Jupiter, Bangkok 9. Nakarat massage Bangkok 10. My Hero, bangkok

in meantime watch him , pre-tattoo, here:

there's always tomorrow, forget keys and will , try to see if he will go for 4000 or may be 3500. That body and zero attitude I'd consider it, LOL

thank you, you have a good heart ! As for energy it's probably out of necessity - short 2 weeks can't be spend wasted. But slowdown comes in bits -look at that trip 3 lonely mornings out of 12, not long ago hanging offence for me. Trying to be young at heart but not always works, LOL

congratulations on landing such a gem, I call boys like him worth offing even only for hand holding session - gold medal in my book. ******* you want love in Thailand , rent it , as Gaybutton would remind you

drinking water ? just like animals? **** I agree and too, I'm happy that Chinese discovered boy bars and are marching in. Sure they elbowed us aside but let's be honest , plenty of room to move inside still as long as we have our wallets with us. They may not be offing that much but certainly are tipping lavishly. In my many years I never saw farang tipping boy on the stage 500 or 1000 baht ( I never saw doesn't meant they did not tip that generously) but did saw such generous Chinese, both ladies and guys. Including one boy from Jupiter tipped 1000 just for being there I subsequently offed that night so Chinese -vinapu co-operation kept all 3 parties involved happy and boy occupied.

All my sympathy to you , hope doctors can find what bug is biting you. But did you see a doctor or you try to heal by autosuggestion ? After spending so much time in bed , no wonder you feel weak. Even if you not feeling well try to walk at least around the table for few minutes couple times a day. Do you have somebody who can do your shopping for you ? It would be good if you can eat something fresh from time to time at least. Not only cooked meals but fruits and veggies. Listen to your body signals after your meals. No, you don't need any credit cards not travel cards when you shop locally, just cash and ID. Recover fast but don't run until you are sure you can just walk one step at the time as you discovered on your shopping trip. Forget about fresh flowers for now - you may be allergic to something . If you use water purifier make sure filter is clean, you sound like my friend who got something from residue in the filter. What doctor says?

as both numazu and me mentioned , those models are looking much better in flesh like most of Oriental boys in my opinion. Somehow I'm surprised at distortion photos are making to those guys and I think if I went just by photos I'd never off half of boys I see their pictures on websites and know them from more personal contact. As for charges I agree with you , specially 1500 off fee is taking skin alive without anesthetics but I think logic really is to discourage offing boys who are making enough just by presence in bar and taking part in the show. Bottom line is -go , see for yourself and then decide, like numazu said above , it may be a case of ' money be damned" even if just to satisfy curiosity.

with all that doom and gloom I wonder why I still have so much fun there

beauty is in the eye of beholder and so is gradation of expenses I guess ?

we should be proud that increased tips we are paying are helping Thai economy and in particular boy's families economy spreading world's wealth a tiny bit more evenly. An additional bonus is that most of our money goes directly to recipient with only fraction / off fees , drinks, bar tips / going to middlemen. On even mote serious note out of 4 main expenses categories / flight , accommodation, food and boy tips / in last 17 years I'm coming to LOS, flight costs decreased substantially but surprisingly perhaps my records are showing that item risen the most is accommodation. (I'm comparing apples to apples as I have original invoices from Niagara and Royal Benja hotels , both still well in existence but charging much , much more)

no wonder you find it depressing, how much fun counting unspent money can be?
