No problem , I can live with being wrong, it was my suggestion that 3000 is very generous long time tip, not Christian's . I feel guilty of creating this controversy since it was me who asked you how much you paid for airport transfer but for the record I was also surprised by use word "only" in this controversial sentence but don't get discouraged and keep posting. I like your report of Tawan , found it interesting and refreshing. I'm not big fan of bodybuilders either although I like some meat on my boys. Drinks in go-go bars are pretty steep priced but in reality it works that you are paying for the show ticket and getting drink as part of admission.

we know !

I believe whatever we post here becomes all readers business. They have 4 choices : don't notice a post, ignore it, agree and disagree to a various degrees. At times we need to suffer negative comments even if not warranted as long as no name calling is involved. If somebody doesn't agree with us it doesn't mean he is our enemy or is picking up a fight.

Thank you for kind words addressed to me. I'm trying to be helpful where I can. Read Markblue post again and cool down, don't take Christian post as personal attack, he just expressed his opinion in neutral way and helped you with directions to DejaVu in the same sentence. 3000 baht is a lot on money even if you are just visitor - very, very generous tip for boy keeping you company overnight if not longer. Hope when you wake up in the morning you will find time and energy to type report from you Tawan adventures.

First inquiry discretely what your hotel policy on joiner will be. Some allow it without fuss, some are charging joiners fees and some will not allow visitors at all although those are rare in LOS. Your hotel seems to be high class so my guess will be no fuss at all , they will turn blind eye, may request your guest to leave ID on reception. You can order boy by contacting him on GayRomeo or Jackd if you are there , pick up somebody at disco / sauna but simplest and most entertaining way is traditional one - go to go-go bar and off boy you like. You can also off boys from massage places if manly types are your thing. When comes to me I consider sleeping alone when vacationing in Thailand grave sin.

wow, one of 3 best ever ! congratulations on finding the gem that early in your trip. As for camera's friendliness you just confirmed what I also noticed , camera is not friendly to Thai boys, almost all I know look much, much better in the flesh than in the pictures and only exception I recall is one of A-Bomb boys you took picture off in your "back to Thailand" thread last fall.

May be in Lao langauge 'chuck wow' means 'he is handsome? " lol

how did you get to you hotel and if by taxi, how much you pay? Did he use meter? Now you know how it feels close to pradise !

stroking somebody's dick

You are right, when dining at Maxi or Dicks I observe boys going with farangs and this is exactly what crosses my mind.

I actually prefer to slip them 100-200 instead of buying drink, cost is the same but they benefit from cash I guess. But bar needs to make money too so I may be not that welcomed by the owners.

you are right and it always beats me why people on the boards are getting heated over other's spending habits. After all tippers are putting price on their own pleasure and if somebody likes to see smile on some face it's their choice how much contribution to this smile will be.

I thought you not that interested in bigger boys so your attention may go somewhere else but obviously male beauty has it's draws even if boys are twinks no more. This whole idea with boys singing and dancing in the soi after bar opens likely contributes to BBB being full in most nights at least for the show

enjoy your trip and we are waiting for your impressions from Bangkok

I'm not in position to question what you said but I suspect your view is overoptimistic on both accounts. I know you guys eliminated chewing gum but eliminating money for sex exchange would be great feast by every mean. And like everywhere it must be many people who are either not that educated and their day jobs are not that good paying, somebody sweeps your streets, ,cleans your lavatories and serves food in all those cheap eateries you mentioned. In every reach country without much of the safety net there are overlooked people who are barely scrapping by. But my comments are not to diminish impressive Singapore's achievements in 50 years of independence.

when you leave hotel turn left, you will see Lumpini park across the busy Rama road , keep walking along that road with park across the street on your right, when you see statue of the king you reached Silom, BTS Sala Daeng is right above you, all 5 minutes 47 seconds walk from hotel

Prosperity of Nordic countries shows that good responsible government can do the same with excessive taxes, it looks that not burden of taxation is important but how taxes are spent

You have a good heart with all those tips. We often complain about tips going up but don't realize that sometimes days are going for boys without any offs. 100 baht may be 3 $ only for us for for Thais is a lot of money, bangkokbois mentioned once in his blog that this is apparently what bottoms in sex shows are paid. is this new bar in front of Copa or I just forgot how it looks like there? Hope bigger boys will find somebody to come to their rescue as well, this is sector I'm for.

1000 baht note is portable but may be hard to break if you purchase something for 100-200. What I do if need to break note I go to change counter at BTS and they are happy to break into whatever denominations you want. It's also easier in the bars if you have exact change, this way you lower chance they extract higher tip from you that you are going to give ( if you are tipping at all )

with prices 3 times lower I rather go with Thailand, green enough, clean enough and safe enough not to mention other advantages we are familiar with

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 /
