if he will ask for pardon and 3/4 of sentence will be granted it still leaves him with serving life

main reason of the conflict is that Thai military wants to pose as defender of homeland thus creating excuse for another coup and current government's removal. Once this is achieved Thailand and Cambodia will return to their eternal friendship, all smiles. As The Economist recently observed Thailand remains only middle income country in the world where coups are staged regularly. I feel sorry for all Cambodian boys who must be feeling like carpet is removed from under their feet .

still he would be served only one death sentence

I think there are reasons we are apprehensive . I cant speak for others but can say what keeps me from sharing specific information and recommendation about our boys. a/ people are asking for information / recommendation but when it's given they disappear from forum and we don't even have a chance to see if it worked or no b/ even best friends may have different opinions about the same guys. This year only I recall 2 cases when I wholeheartedly recommended somebody to my forum friends and it did not really work for them as much as it did for me . And also reverse case when trusted source recommended somebody who worked only kind of so-so for me c/ at end of day we don't really know if negative opinion is result of really poor service or comes as form of getting back at boy who received unreasonable request from some disgruntled customers d/people we know as being nice based on our conversations, sharing meal and bar hoping may behave differently when door are closed and light dimmed. At least two boys over years told me they definitely did not like my friends I helped them to hook up with . And one I'm seeing regularly every time sternly reminds me not to share his contact nick and number with anybody

so justice was served ?

good point

In Mexico City airport it's impossible - shrine of Guadelupe is too close to the airport

I suspect different reason for change - proliferation of media where clients can exchange their experiences and their willingness to do so. In the past if buy was slacking and taking excuses we chalked it off to bad luck and experience and carried on. Now we have way of sharing it with others and discover than #37 from Lazy Boys bar tends to spend too much time in the bathroom and masseur Bank from Broken Bones Massage and Spa always refuses to take shower etc. In short , neither boys not customers changed but environment in which both sides operate

you mean time of day, time of week of time of year ? as for day noting going on during daylight but after dusk you mat start circulating as boys will be heading for work and eating, alone or with their friends before that. Bars are at busiest in show times i.e. 10-12 ( show start hours vary from bar to bar ), then bars are slowly emptying but rarely guys are heading home straight s and may be lingering , eating and drinking or just standing somewhere hoping for last minute deal , I'd say midnight to 2 am are cruisiest hours . as for week , weekends are busiest which ,means more boys and more customers , better selection but also more competition for their charms. mid week is slower and chances your dream guy won't be snatched early are much higher but also he may be taking his day off when you visit his bar. as for time of year, to low season the same criteria like for mid week apply with added bonus of lower hotel prices. sometimes guy are kind of desperate for business which may mean better service. For high season selection is better , prices higher , boys may be rushy but there's no danger of you being only one customer in bar with all eyes on you. Bottom line is , whenever you will go , fun is guaranteed so don't overthink it

excellent point

sure it's ok, after all you are paying but keep in mind some boys like shows in other bars but others don't enjoy those so don't be surprised if you will see some grimaces when you table proposal. But sure , even if they don't like they will accompany you. Keep in mind if you take boy fort the show in another bar you will be paying for 2 drinks / admissions so it may be expensive option , even worse he may ask you to buy a drink for his friend who works in that bar or horror of horrors , invite his friend for a drink without even asking you . It's why I stop seeing one of my regulars few years ago. On another hand if you have boy with you already you won't be harassed for business by mamasan or other boys

you not big on hardware stores I gather ?

my name is vinapu not many

we may tend to their garden instead of forking out money ?

no idea, only explanation which comes to my mind is that we are too picky

of course they don't but likely think ' no hurt trying". In process they overdo it as we can see from report above. Cultural differences, generational gap and less than stellar command of English by the boys contribute to those misunderstandings of other party lack of interest in rushing things

no, he never got caught so far

Oldddady , you asked for it

if you ever bother to read one of my post-covid trip reports , you may notice that every trip I have non-scene guy visiting me at least once per trip. Usually in day time as he works shifts. We passed by each other on the street by chance , I was stunned by his look so next time I saw him , which with Guardian Angel help happened to be next day I smiled at him broadly which he noticed. Day or two later we met again , that time we both smiled so we both stopped for hand shake and brief talk during which he said ' we should have drink together sometime " . It did not happen as I was leaving next day but at least we exchanged Line. Next trip we arranged for that drink which led to dinner which let to suggestion to have few more beers and again he suggested to save money to buy beer at 7/11 and drink it in my room. Then I knew I'm home and indeed that drinking developed to something requiring diming lights and making sure windows are covered. When it was time for him to go home I asked him 'can I give you some money?" to which he responded "of course". Now we have an arrangement when I'm in Bangkok he tells me when he can visit me and its simple 'yes or no " on my side, no fuss If I decline or ask for different time and day. Win/ win situation for both of us.

or improving revenue stream

yes

I think it was 767 whose engine burst in flames, not 787.

tastes and experiences vary so no recommendation ever be universal

not that anybody would have any doubts

typical case when I can jump with one of my doubtful wisdoms and say to emiel " go and see for yourself"
