The bad news is that the Mercure hotel is known as a ghost hotel to many locals or long term Pattaya guests The almost complete hotel site was abandoned during the Asian crisis in 1997 and lay unfinished for a number of years During that time it was used as a yaba den and was often the scene of murders or apparent "suicides" A lot of locals will refuse to stay in this hotel to its reputation (Certainly my BF anyway!) Don't be surprised if a guy doesn't want to stay long term there (overnight) - its not personal... just superstition!

Any of the clinics on South Pattaya or soi 17 will do an ear rinse for you Usual cost is 4-500B - I always end up having to get one after Songkran - to clear out all that powder that has been blasted in there by water pistols!

HCMC has a population of 8.2 million people PP has a population of 1.5 million people So based on population alone it seems HCMC would be a better bet On the other hand there are host bars in PP and the bars/clubs open later. The gay apps seem as busy in both cities. My feeling is that the Khmer's are less commercial than the Vietnamese and he is more likely to get the BFE (boyfriend experience) in PP

Same here! I do hope that Scooby used some scientific method to identify the alleged hydra - beyond his scooby-smell!

It's funny that you should mention this Prakanong Here in Dublin we get 100's (maybe 1000's!) of Asian students visiting every month to learn English. On the odd occasion some of them end up as my bed mates... during foreplay (!) the more studious ones ask me questions like "whats the perfect past tense of xxx" "is that word you just used a noun/pronoun/verb/adverb" etc Of course as someone that learned English as my native language - I have no idea. I just know what sounds correct and what sounds incorrect (to my colloquial and regional hearing)

The usual slang term I have heard from Australian/Americans Born Asians is a "banana" - Yellow on the outside, but white on the inside. Of course if a GWM uses the term its deemed to be a slur. But perfectly acceptable for an Asian to use

For me sawatdeenetwork is the "cleanest" looking forum Its so difficult to find the "forum" button on the gaythailand site - I wouldn't be surprised if they lose a lot of visitors who don't even realise that there is a forum... it needs to be way more prominent IMO Also for me the Bamboo scheme looks like something out of the 80s or a short time room That being said this board currently has the best trip reports

Strangest ever Thai related posting! Never heard of this japanese band ever! Maybe i'm hanging out in the wrong places! Oh and to add to my above songs: Thai answer to Ireland favourite "bachelor" singer Daniel O'Donnell (Bird Thongchai) And everyones favourite Songkran song: Akons Right Now (Na Na Na)

This has gotta be it for me: Played every night in teh old disco area in BBB on my first trip in 2001: And of course who can forget this one (still popular these days)

By the way the walk down that dark soi also explains why Novana seems to have a huge number of vacant Units (e.g. On AirBNB) When my BF lived in next roor LV apartment there was a pedestrian shortcut through one of the restaurants on 3rd road... as soon as the restaurant owner closed up that right-of-way LV went from a very desirable Apartment block to practically empty!

I have often considered Novana, as BF used to live in the Next door LV apartment Is there direct access from novana onto 3rd road - or must you travel down that dark laneway and past Phuphaya residence to get to 3rd road? Seems like a pretty arduous journey to BT if you ask me!

Myself and BF in classic earlier this month and as per comments above the mamasan was a pain in the ass There were 2 other customers at the time and each of us had a mamasan sitting on our shoulder Our mamasan was spouting away gibberish and after 5-6 mins BF had enough and wanted to leave 700B for drinks, change from 1000B was 3x100B notes Waiter and mamasan stood expectantly waiting for a 100B tip (each)...Luckily BF had 20B and shoved that into tip wallet, mamasan plea for tip was ignored Like others we won't be going back there again soon!

Hi Vessey Will we be getting a trip report from your mist recent trip? Dying to know what happened with Jason from vietnam and to hear about Vit Part 2! As for opening bottles of whiskey - BF and I usually open at least one per night in a gogo bar (typically Powerboys Toyboys or Dreamboys... sometimes that can meld into 3 or even 4 bottles... if there is fun to be had... (if there is no fun, then we either leave the whiskey for staff to drink, or keep it for another night) Once everyone is nicely merry we head on to NAB, Hollywood or TNI at 1am and party on till 4-5am Its a lot cheaper to pre-load the boys with 100 Pipers @1200B (inc mixers) in the bar than to spend it on 80B mixers and 1600B JW red in hollywood!

GR profiles created using the PR app automatically have the guestbook disabled Where as on teh GR/PR website they are autimatically enabled This is because there is no way on the PR app to view (or even know) that there are guestbook entries So for me it is no longer surprising when a guestbook is disabled... Similarly the profiles with absolutely NO information have generally been created on the PR App and not the GR/PR website

Doesn't Boybutter rot latex condoms like Vaseline?

As someone that has an (unfair!) reputation for partying I am often asked by boys for a "no tip off", as per FCs post above.... the boys simply want someone to sponsor a party for the night If it's past midnight I tell the boy(s) to come and join us in the NAB/Tumnan Issan at 1 when their work is finished If its earlier in the night then I pay their off(s) and we all go to Morlam/Hollywood/Tumnan Chon and end up in NAB/Tumnan Issan later. These guys are previously known to me (friend, friend of friend, friendly staff, ex-off, ex-gik etc) and simply want a night out and are happy for the sponsorship. As per my earlier post they get their drink, food and 1-200B at end of night for transport home. Those that ask for a greater tip for "their company" at the end of the night never get invited again... despite what some people think, it is possible to have Thai friends that are happy to be your friend and not get paid (and even Thai boys that come home for free with no tip expectations either) Note: Boys that are offed because BF or I fancy them do get a tip... but those that have asked to join our gang for a free night certainly get nothing beyond generous taxi money

I am guessing that you are referring to Aaron Lawrence? http://www.aaronlawrence.com/videos.html

16 years of coming here... 2 thefts of money from wallet (1000B & 2000B) the first 1000B may have been lost through carelessness. The 2000B was miraculously recovered under my bed by the boy, after I made a pretend search around the room an asked him to help me find "his" tip! One scam I noticed twice on last trip was the girls in the local 7-11 short changing my change late at night. On both occasions when challenged, the girls gave me the money immediately, without even counting or disputing... which leads me to believe that either they were scamming (or simply couldn't count!) The only other scam happened in Dave Man club. BF invited one of the Coyotes to come to a Morlam with us. BF paid the boys off fee that night, not knowing that the boy had already paid his. The Coyote's mamasan took both off fees, but refused to give either of them back, or even give the boy a day off in lieu. That petty action ended up costing Dave 25,000-30,000 in lost revenue over the next 2 trips

Wow this is so Deja Vu to a similar incident that happened to a friend of mine with another Phnom Penh guy last year... Its funny that i always imagined that CB might have been this particular boy whilst reading your reports... but the waterworks and drama have now convinced me that its probably him!

Ice also made a few movies on the Dr.Twink and GayAsianPiss group of sites, most of they are found easily online

I believe the 40K lost story... on my second last visit one of my farang friends had a Khmer boy to stay overnight and the Khmer boy asked him if he could put his money in his safe before a morlam concert. The boy deposited 26,000B in the safe... his takings from 2 weeks in Pattaya during his university holidays. Numazu: Love the trip report... wish I was able to write in such an immersive manner... Really appreciate the feeling or almost being there! I am curious - you are still quite young, but I never hear you mention going to discos or clubs (except for the 1 visit to DJ station earlier) On this current trip your Condo at Centric Sea was only 200M from NAB and 400M from Tumnan Issan... yet you never visited either (so far!) in this report Is there any particular reason why you have never been to either with your BF du jour? Whilst I love the bars... a night for me is never over until I have brought a boy and a gang to one of Pattaya night not spots!

I think you picked an unfair comparison there Vessey BBB and XBoys charge 300B for a drink Toy boys Charge 220B, and I am often offered a free drink before I am finished my first(as are a lot of other customers) In my opinion TB offers better value than all the other bars in Pattaya - as they have a much better product in terms of boy quality vs price

As far as I know, one of the boys that was on privateboymovie (The blond boy mike) is now a Tattoo artist He goes by the name or Earth/Earn... I can't find his GR right now...but some members may be able to help...

2. Drink set-ups. When in Pattaya I usually order at least one of these per night when I am out on the town (which is every night!) Be careful as the rules vary from bar to bar: Some bars include all mixers until the bottle is finished (and you can keep the bottle in the bar for up to a month and keep revisiting and drinking for free + tips) Some bars include all mixers for that night only, on subsequent nights you must pay 60B per mixer/ice Some bars only give 4-6 mixers and you must pay for all subsequent mixers and ice even on the night you open the bottle In our case we usually drink 50-60% and leave the rest of the bottle for staff to drink from In addition the rules for boy drinks also vary from bar to bar: some bars will let a boy sit with you and drink for free Some bars you must buy the boy at least one drink and after that he can drink from the whiskey 3. The no-sex off Again this is something that we do quite commonly (bear in mind my BF is Thai - so negotiations are much easier!) Boy begs to join us in disco: Pay off, pay drinks & food and taxi money home Better still don't pay off and tell him to meet us when his shift ends We off the boy to go to the disco: If we all connect - everybody goes home and a 3some ensues, 2000B tip. Generally when a connection like this is made the boy will end up staying a few days - or even for the rest of the holiday If there is little of no connection with one or both of us - boy goes home after disco with 1000B. Why no connection? Thai boy only likes farang and ignores my Thai BF Thai boy only likes Thai and ignores me Thai boy is scared of my Thai BF My BF believes that the guy has insulted him I believe that the guy has insulted me We don't like his behaviour (wasteful with whiskey, demanding we tip his coyote/ladyboy "friends", looking for customers in the club etc Boy gets absolutely drunk and has to go home before we are ready to leave 500B Boy is a shit bag and causes problems 0-500B

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news... But the water throwing will start in Bkk around midnight on the 12th... so don't go out that night expecting to tsay out late and return dry! Christian: 16/17 is Wan lai in Bang Saen, expect mental traffic and water throwing for 48 hours on the streets that lead to the beach... Going there is NOT a recommended way of avoiding the water play! Also water throwing in Pattaya will finish in the 19th (not on 18th as stated above) In fact 19th will be the best/worst day (depending on your perspective!) of them all!
