Thanks for the Tip Jason1975... Just finished watching episode 6 and really enjoyed it I found the first episode a bit tedious... but after that I loved the relationship between Jack and his 76 year old father... I would imagine that the uncut scenes are also very funny!

I have never been affected by jetlag in 50+ trips to thailand Granted I am only travelling from Ireland, so I don't have that 24 hour trip that US people have, but its generally 16 hours of flight including a stopover (no direct flights from Ireland to Asia - yet!) I tend to take a night flight (22.30) out of Dublin on my way, arrives around 21.00 the next day And prefer to take a night flight back also (1-2am), arriving home at 11AM same day... When in Thailand I sleep at 4/5AM after disco and food and wake around 2PM for Brunch (This is the equivalent of sleeping at 11PM and waking at 8AM Irish time) This way my body clock never has to adjust... So there is the solution to jet lag, party more and keep to your normal waking hours!

Errm, when was the last time you updated or were online on hornet? In the last few weeks they have started restricting the number of visible profiles... Depending on some random algorithm (Not sure exactly? Time of Day? Location) they are limiting users to around 9-15 lines of profiles (i.e. 26-44 profiles including your own)... I notice that users have abandoned it in droves and gone back to GayRomeo in the last few weeks Personally i hope that Hornet goes the same was as gay.com and fridae after their despicable attempt at monetizing their app (as if the ads were not intrusive enough already)

This is a common scam - this time carried out by the receptionist He claims that there is a bottle missing... - If you pay he issues a receipt from a "shadow" receipt book (20 B in Friendship supermarket) and pockets the money - If you refuse to pay, he waives the charge and makes you feel happy and everyone seem professional On the missing whiskey - one other possible scenario is: Previous occupiers in room used the whiskey, dozey house keeper never noticed and never replenished it between stays (or noticed it after the occupiers moved out and it was too late - so is now trying to pawn it off on you)

If you are staying in the barracks, make sure you order the large room and not the standard, the standard rooms have single beds... The beds were were either at right angles to each other or head to toe (like 2 carriages on a train) None of the beds would have enough room for 2 people to sleep in (maybe 2 thais)... and i would not like to take the chance of being pushed out of the bed unto a hard concrete bed by a "space" greedy Thai guy at night! Mind you at the price they charge for a large room... you could probably get a Grand Deluxe room in Raya

He was unwell with stomach problems for years... was not much of a drinker so not alcohol related.... Seems that his time in the monastery cured him of his ills... TBH both BF and I thought he had died.... as he was gone from the scene so long... its good to see him back as hes one of the good guys!

police orders- pretty similar to what happened in bkk with the Viet boys

My understanding is that the shirtless boys in BBB are Thai The guys that wear shirts are mostly Khmer (with a few Laos thrown in for good measure) Mamasan Lek is working there now... He had been away in the Monks for the last few years (Some may remember Lek from Dave Man club and Holiday 2 and 69Boys (?) in years gone by)

There are at least 2 Arab MBs in the Tukcom area working Hornet and Grindr One guys sends 5-6 pics and is quite direct about being a MB The other says he's looking for fun... but then hints that he likes generous guys As soon as you block them - they turn up again with a new profile... Very annoying!

there is a Morlam on Fri August 25th on 3rd road... if that happens to coincide.. Bring a gang of boys and make sure that the birthday cake is kept away from the dust from the dancing Lady and Fem boys!

Buy a True Move SIM, that will cost $10 USD including data and last the entire month Save the rest of your $10 per day roaming costs on entertainment!

I would guess from the line up that he was one of the NAB "models" They do a parade twice a night with the "models" first fully dressed and then in their underwear The "models" then circulate around the crowd hoping for an invite to join a table and claim some inflated price "model" drinks The reason I put "model" in quotes is that most of them are pretty damn ugly! PS. Vinapu - does he look scarier or more gentle than your Axe murderer?

Those dots in the background look like the stage in NAB As does the car park in the interview

Drinking anything less than JW Red or Chivas in a club like NAB would bring a lot of face loss to the people at your table in a place like NAB. Blend 285, 100 pipers etc are fine in Tumnan Issan, but in one of the more Hi-So places (NAB, Hollywood, Noir, Differ etc.) it is expected that you would drink imported spirits in order to keep up appearances. I can't say i condone or agree with it... but have to go along with it Be thankful that the days of JW Black being the minimum face saving whiskey are now gone! As for the fake booze, one of my friends says you can tell the fakes by the color of the import seal.. but i have never verified that. There were also pics floating around on FB a while back of workers in a well known pattaya club refilling empty JW Red bottles from a big vat of imported Laos whiskey, it seems that they have a method to refill the bottle whilst keeping the plastic pouring cap intact!

I've probably been to NAB 100+ times over the last 6-7 years.... It has stagnated and declined remarkably in recent years (no competition since Dave and Idol closed) but still seems to get crowds at the weekend. At one stage maybe 5 years ago there would be 30-40 coyotes on stage on 2 rotations I have never heard of a VIP table there, usually we either order a bottle of Johnny Walker Red @1400B plus mixers @60B and Ice @100B as soon as we arrive and run up a tab which we pay on leaving (although that depends on the waiter, sometimes they ask you to pay as soon as your drinks arrive if they don't know you or the company you are with) They also run a promotion where you can prepay for 5 litres of JWR @5000B and use them at your leisure over a number of nights. Best time to go there is around 12.45... that way you get there before the bar boys knock off at 01.00 and can get a decent table. If/when you become better known you can ask the mamasans to pre-book your favourite table for the next night for a 100B tip Recently a lot of people have started bringing their own bottles in from 7-11, they charge 300B corkage fee, so there is no price difference... but it is rumoured that the quality of JWR in 7-11 is better than the NAB(read into that what ever you like!) If you don't finish your whiskey they will keep it for you and issue you with a card that you can use the next visit... this is very useful when you have finished the 1st/2nd bottle... and would like to drink a little more... but not another full bottles worth! It terms of pulling there... its always the same... when you are in company its really very cruisy and loads of guys are giving you the eye... When you are looking for company... they are nowhere to be seen! I find I get a lot of guys coming up and saying "I remember you, you come my bar"... which can be a good way to start chat-ups... or simply come to do a cheers with you By the way you should also try Tum Nan Issan next time you are in Pattaya, its similar to NAB in terms of gay crowd but plays mostly Issan music... with the odd farang dance song thrown in. I arrive back next week and usually switch between NAB and Tumnan Issan (or sometimes both!) on alternate nights

Looks like the new form is actually looking for more information than the previous one... That's a GREAT way to improve efficiency in Immigration!

lets hope at least that the new TM cards are passport sized and fit neatly inside your passport - like those of neighbouring countries!

Off the boy, bring them out, talk to them, make small talk and get to know them, flirt with them, if you are with a farang friend make an effort to all chat together and find mutually interesting topics to talk about. You will be rewarded with sex two three times as good as the "booked Prostitute" waiting for their next customer for sex

I'd say another likely scenario is that the boy had a party to go to after closing time so inflated the LT tip in the hope you would do ST only. Next time you are in ask to speak to Mena (mee-na) - he is the Mamasan there and is a straight-up guy. He will tell you the truth about tip expectations

I haven't offed anyone from BBB in 10+ years... but recently hasn't the Micro-phoned captain always announced every 5 mins: "which one you want, which size you like, boy can to sit with you... no cover charge" So it seems to me that you don't have to buy...but if you do you get screwed!

I usually have a 10-14 day holiday in Sept or Oct every year As others pointed out on another thread you usually get an hour of rain in the evening on most days Of course the odd day you will get considerably more... but it certainly won't ruin your holiday The worst part of rainy season is the gigantic drops of rain that fall off the shop house canopies hours after the rain has finished. One stray drop and your head/shirt looks like you were hit with a water balloon!

Drinks in gogo bars in Phuket run at 100-120 as far as I remember... A lot cheaper than Pattaya or bangkok Tip expectations are also on the low side (same as Sunee/Jomtien Complex)... Hotels can be got at the same as Pattaya rates On the other hand transport is a ripoff 200B tuktuk minimum and expect to pay 450B for a meal which you could get for 300B in Pattaya If you stay in and around the Paradise complex you are in walking distance of most place and no need for transport - except airport transfers

Two days before I was due to travel home in May 2016, I was hospitalised with Salmonella which in turn led to Septic shock and spent 6 days in Pattaya international hospital Total hospital costs ran to 112,000B with another 30,000B in associated costs (flight changes, calls to home, work, insurance company, taxis, additional 7 days of recuperation time waiting for fit to fly certificate etc) I for one am glad that I spent €53 on my multi trip travel insurance and will happily pay it in future

The rate i see online for Welcome Plaza in August is 1500B, whilst on the same dates for a deluxe room in the Ambiance is 900B When i first started staying in Pattaya in 2001 the Welcome plaza was 800B and the Ambiance was ~1200B per night... its amazing how they have flipped in their pricing structures... My guess is that the Welcome is full of chinese tourists these days and therefore the price has risen

Hi Vessey You could also try Mosaik apartments: http://mosaikpattaya.net/home.html They are located half way between Sunee and Boystown... so best of both worlds! Entrance to Mosaik is opposite entrance to Tuk.com, so plenty of food and massage options in the vicinity
