I just noticed that more than half of the threads in this forum were started by my endless questions. I always ask a lot, bcs I'm too curious or bcs I like to b prepared. I apologize if I'm a nuisance. One of the good things about these forums is that pestering can b ignored. Hotel 61prado is north of the plaza-park-cathedral; Gallery hotel is to the east. Any difference security-wise? Any direction less prblmtc? Thx

I searched for this park on ggl maps, found something with that name on carrera 43, but in the photos there was no scene like the one u described. Is there more than one ?

Latbear, I salute both ur wit and ur power of observation!! It reads like a ppl-watching heaven. Despite being gringo-identifiable, I'm planning a daytime visit, even if I dont find a body guard.

Thank u both. It seems there r different interpretations regarding the 'borders' of Laureles.... I prefer a hotel with breakfast, so I guess Dorado 70 is optimal. Its also quite north, which means closer to the metro. OTOH, if I undrstnd correctly, its farthest from most attractions, including Sillon. Is the triangle - Dorado 70, sillon, primer parque laureles - walkable at night ?

Guys, please recommend hotels u've stayed at, or u've heard/read positive reviews of. Thx

Joizy, the aim there isnt to scout for guys but to visit sites: catedrala, museum, botero, culture palace, etc.....

Thx for the warning. Just to b sure: this warning doesnt extend to daytime, right? Actually, why wld a tourist want to b there at night anyway? BTW, "locals r going to have many questions..." - why do they care?

U r welcome

I had no sex there. On a more imprtnt issue: I have no sympathy for San Suu Kyi! She and the majority of her democratic followers supported and defended the Rohinga genicide. She and them deserve what's happening now.

Even toward Nov which is supposed to b the beginning of peak season there ?

Its "temporary" until the surge ebbs....

Joizy, I dont think they r referring to u; I believe it's "guest".

Welcome And thx

Ooops Sorry My mistake

Since ID were checked, why "not so safe"?

Thank u Latbear!

Why do u persist? I stated explicitly that I m not there. How is that misrepresentation?

Slvkguy, I really BEG u to reconsider ur instinctive suspicious negativity. When using ur alternatives, a person can view profiles in that destination, but guys there cant view his. I twice used Romeo's feature in order to situate myself in clmbia and peru. I wrote "currently not there, will arrive in 10 days". NO dishonesty, VERY useful.

Thx Maump for sharing. I PMed u.

Back when NY governor was exposed as having paid a callgirl $5000 an hour, someone offered the following explanation. He didnt pay for the sex, bcs no sex is worth 5000 an hour. He paid for the feeling that he can afford to pay....

Guys, why is it so common to see bored inactive farang with MB? Why is he paying, if he justs sits there ?

Do I undrstnd correctly that in Thailand twink = effiminate?

Please share with the ininitiated what's this all about....

Thank u Joizy for a VERY useful list. I PMed u....

Thx, one and all. I've already been both to the north and across the border. That's why I asked about the south. Would appreciate as many details and place names as possible.
