welcome home firecat69 !

Can't comment on saunas since it's not my scene but generally speaking hotel, either safe on reception or one in the room would be safer option than carrying your money with you. As z909, I tend to take with me only what I reasonably expect to spend before returning to the room. Instead of carrying bulky wallet I just keep money in the pockets, a bit in each one, always have shirt with 2 pockets and trousers with at least 3 . This way even if somebody lifts something , it will be form one pocket likely. Generally speaking Thailand is very safe country and chances of being robbed or having things stolen are small but not unheard of, likely because of false sense of security . Your worst enemy is crowded public transport and sidewalks on more popular streets with night market like Silom and Sukhumvit . Use the same common sense like you would in unknown city in your home country. If you paying don't pull whole wad of notes just to show off like some farangs do but only what you need. The same with boys you will be bringing back to your room. 99% will not tough anything but there's always black sheep. I believe firecat reported last year things stolen by boy from GayRomeo and recently was report from somebody else about boy at one of Silom discos being too frisky and close to pockets. But don't be paranoid an any sense, you have much bigger chance of being shortchanged when giving a change than actually have things lifted - count your change. Just my own example - in November I left something in the restaurant so left boy in my room and went to pick it up. I forgot that I left 7000 baht in open backpack on the table in the room, nothing was missing and really I thought about it only when we woke up in the morning.

Apart from williewillie also Christian PFC commented positively about resurrected Lucky7 in his blog so it looks gay Payttaya has new welcomed addition

Enjoy your flight and vacations

find Sukhumvit soi 11, follow the map, roughly in the middle soi forks out into 2 alleys, right and left, Hero is at very end of left alley, just before the canal. It does not exist on the map, Hero keeps low profile, no ads , no website, just boys behind the glass taxi driver may or may not know HERO but definitely will know Sukhumvit soi 11 as Sukhumvit is one of main streets,. again tell him to use left fork when driving up the soi if your hotel is close to Lumpini MRT station and I believe it is, take MRT to Sukhumvit station and walk from there or for fun take moto taxi from mouth of soi 11, every driver will know HERO there and will even wink knowingly and if you are lucky may even allow you to sit very close to his butt while taking you there / 5 mins /

Park yourself in the hotel, if I recall your is on the corner of Sathorn and Rama. Unless is raining walk to Silom along Rama, this is short walk, not very interesting but cools you down. When you hit Silom / big intersection with overhead rail / do to other side , one with market stall and walk to big intersection where overhead rail turn sharply left. You will be passing Patpong on your right. Watch massage boys sitting outside of numerous shops along the way Return using the same side of Silom , by that time you will feel you somewhat familiar with the place. When you hit one of Patpong sois / there are 2 /, on return they will be on your right, turn there and go to other end, you will hit Suriwong. Turn right and after few meters across the street you will see signs "HOT Male" and others with "boys " , this is soi Twilight, cross the street and immense yourself in the soi. On your right you will see BANGKOK MASSAGE with boys sitting outside, pick up one and treat yourself to a oil or cream massage. If you don't have enough than you have 7 bars to choose , go to one , have a drink , watch the show if will be any , pick up the boy , have a dinner with him in Maxi or Dick,s in the soi, go to your hotel or short time rooms in BBB Inn or Suriwongse hotel and welcome to Thailand ! On Sunday you take MRT / underground / from Lumpini station , not far from your hotel but opposite direction than Silom to Chatuchak market. Shop there or not but this market is weekend only. On your way back take BTS / elevated rail / from MO CHIT station to Nana station, find soi 11 on busier side of Sukhumvit street, walk or take moto taxi to HERO which is at end of soi 11. If you walk turn left at place where soi splits in two. Treat yourself with boy behind the glass wall, if you have top/ bottom preferences don't be shy and talk to mamasan. If you don't have enough take taxi to soi Twilight but don't go there , cross the Suriwong and go to Jupiter it's behind Suriwongse Hotel or if you are into muscle take that taxi to soi 6 instead and go to Tawan, as you enter soi fro Suriwong end it will be on your right. After that you are on your own, for shopping you know where markets are and on your way to HERO you will see many department stores along the line. You know where go-go and massages are. As for food you will see it everywhere for food stalls to restaurants so it when you are hungry or even better treat your boys with dinners, you will have a company and them full stomach. Any questions ask but I have feeling you will be expert in Bkk scene on your way from Hero already.. Have fun and please report your findings here and play safe. I don't know about others but I'm jealous already

HERO is a must for first timers unless you are into twinks , than not much for you there

I checked map on NickyPattaya and you are right OfficeMax, for some reason I mix those two and best way to cure it will be to off boy from each bar, after that I should remember

any occasion , true or false is good to throw a party so I don't blame Funny boys for shedding few years and making it round number

this guy is a gem when comes to an attitude, you should feel like upgraded to upper deck on long flight ! I must rush that you rightly said ' some ' as in my experience boys mostly are not as greedy and crafty money extractors like some of farangs like to present them. may be I was just lucky? As for restaurants I suspect that at times they order expensive dishes without realizing price, after all those are not places they frequent. I was dining with boy from Arena last year's May in Chinese restaurant downstairs, he was hungry so ordered few dishes , one of them whole expensive fish. Bill came to 1000 baht and you should see his face, he was scared of my reaction which was none as I already know I like every inch of him. Reward was outstanding , boy glued to me whole night, I'm still smiling / and counting months /

As Pattaya novice with only 2 days experience I can add only that I found Sunee out of way so its place for in the know people rather than visitors who find BT easy to find and navigate / and more noisy and less discreet /

How one can check football scores on a dildo ? I did not realize how technologically backward I am until this thread

Which one is that? One beside Le Cafe Royale or across the soi ? Missed both of them last and only time and still feel sorry for myself

I wouldn't be that depressed. As long as bars are open and is at least one boy in each of them with Pattaya number of bars even most sworn butterfly will be able to pick somebody up. And there are always moblies to help with GR , Jackd etc. not to mention massage boys, after all they are offable as well / and a my favourites /. I'm not saying your idea of staying with one gem of known quality is bad - no disappointments and money saved on bar hopping make it worthwhile option. I'm butterfly but noticed after disappointment I steer myself toward familiar arms for the next night

Contents of undies look very promising

and report your findings here you should add Michael

you are right, soi 3 is Boyztown, shows apparently always half decent when comes to sleaze

new broom always sweeps the best but there's no need for coup to do this kind of cleanout

I found your story very uplifting and I smile with you guys. Boy is happy and you seem too, it also reminds us how fortunate we are by being able to afford things other people hardly can dream about. Yes, try resist temptation to deprive him his ownership by reimbursement but nothing stops you from planting banknote here and there.

obviously you like him a lot so treat expenditure on the device as investment in your joy. Fact that he offered to participate shows he is decent boy and understands our money doesn't grow on trees. Likely he feels better too as he bought it with a little of help from you, right?

I'd say better go and investigate locally in the soi as discussion doesn't seem conclusive. I'd venture it will be back to normal very soon

For best choice go to soi Twilight where you have a choice of 7 go-go bars / counting Dreamboys upstairs and Boys Bangkok downstairs as one / , 3 beer bars and 3 massage places, all on 100 m stretch of soi. Across the busy Suriwong street slightly hidden behind Suriwongse hotel is Jupiter. Further , in Patpong , right under Pavillion Hotel is Screwboys usually open till 2 or 3 a.m. Then in soi 6 , past Tarntawan hotel you have Tawan famous for bodybuilders if that's your thing and in the same soi you have SuperA, Golden Cock and Nature Boys. All bars are open roughly 8-1 with shows starting between 10-11 p.m. Where is best to go it depends of what you are looking for For massive bodies -Tawan, for manly , muscly boys Jupiter and Dreamboys, twinks -Classic, X-boys , Super A and Nature rest have nice mixture of all types Enjoy and report back !

I hope it will be some rainy days so you guys will have time to report back to us of how things are. We did not have travel reports for a while .

Nothing unfortunate about that, what is an alternative to getting old? Dying young, right, so we are on right side on equation by collecting all those years. And Thai adventures are making us feeling younger so we can cheat calendar for a while . Worst part are all those long flights to get there but anticipation of pleasant unknown is what keeps jet lag away. How long you will be there this time?

one of my little non-boy Bangkok pleasures is to jump on the bus a random and see where it takes me, if goes somewhere out of way there's always taxi to return back to known areas
