Please don’t be anxious, these border runs are commonplace and Cambodians returning home are always welcome. In fact by the time of me posting this, Cam must be home by now so I hope he’s checked in and reassured you 5000 baht….the price has increased since my ex guy did his bi-monthly border run! or more realistically greater profit in having one full car

I suspect some flights/ flight paths have been cut to increase passengers on still-running flights. This reduces operating costs while eliminating risk of flights taking off half empty which is not profitable. We will have to migrate over there with you to follow your adventures. Wishing Cam a safe journey home.

Apart from preferring gym fit guys, I don’t think I’ve ever hired you

I’m resisting the urge to give you a geography lesson since you don’t even know where Sathorn is 🤦‍♂️

Yes exactly I’m not sure either but based on Jupiter’s recent videos I saw some Cambodians have returned to work at the bar. A very tall guy with a swimmer’s build is one of them. It seems to suggest they can re-enter Thailand now but that is only my guess.

Whether real or bedtime story, his level of self absorbed navel gazing is shocking…probably from all the bending over Also the claim that Indians and Myanmar guys can be easily mistaken for each other! Such extreme ignorance not to mention racism in this statement.

It was due to Thai-Cambodia border tensions, if you recall they closed the border for some time last year in retaliation to Thai military action. It seems they were letting Cambodians through but not Thais and foreigners. And whether the border is functionally operating now is anyone’s guess as it seems to open or shut on a whim (unless you are a Cambodian national)

You are glossing things over simply because this offers you more opportunities for free hook ups. The ethnic Thai-Muslims are indeed a beautiful feature of southern Thailand, and there are thriving Indian communities who have been in Thailand for generations and run many important business industries including gems, textiles. Far less desirable is the conversion of parts of Pattaya and Phuket into Indian ghettos, staffed entirely by imported labour direct from India. I saw many of them in the immigration queue at Phuket airport last month. coming to work as chefs in vegetarian restaurants, or cleaners. They are basically bringing an entire ecosystem straight from India to Thailand, entirely to fuel cheap Indian tourism. This is causing a whole multitude of issues which you are oblivious to.

@jimmie50 firstly I want to congratulate you for trusting your instincts and rolling the dice! Looking forward to reading about your Cambodian adventures in September. Yes this is pretty much the standard border crossing, they need to change cars from a Thai registered vehicle to a Cambodian registered one, as well as get their passports checked at the border. Don’t worry there is an efficient system of coffee money for any boy whose documents have fallen behind. Not a good idea for foreigners to try and cross by land though, at least not until the border situation has calmed down. I knew a boy who married a Chinese female customer who was already living in Thailand. They decided to move back to Cambodia for a lower cost of living. At some point last year he tried to take her through the land crossing, as the family home where they planned to stay was close to the border. He was allowed through but she was not, no matter how much money they offered, and cried bitterly the whole way back to Bangkok airport with her huge pile of luggage, where she had to buy a very expensive plane ticket.

Thank you for your hard work and service to this forum I was told Big Boy is better on weekends with some special acts, a conformation either way would be appreciated

And then you woke up?

For sure beaches as I was trying to book a long weekend, I have hard data as my (substantial for Thailand) budget now feels insufficient!

Boy bars would do well to take a leaf out of their pages. Moonlight became popular very quickly in their first year to being ahead of the class in adopting social media. However they have ceased to innovate and are following the same formula year in and out, featuring the same line up who get older and heavier with each season. In fact I think there many foreign customers who would pay good money for a naughty video call with a boy in anticipation of soon travelling to Thailand to off him

The Europeans are arriving soon for their summer holidays, as seen by a spike in hotel prices at popular tourist destinations in Thailand especially the beaches on the Gulf side. Let’s see if this makes any difference.

Was this a dick pic?

I have a parcel I’d like you to take to Australia for me

Thai Airways hostess arrested smuggling heroin into Australia The 26-year-old woman was arrested after a kilogramme of heroin was found concealed in her luggage after she arrived at Melbourne airport on Thursday. She was carrying 12 tote bags. The heroin was in the lining.

Thanks I am surprised no one posted this sooner. Was reading about this case over the weekend. The man is a sick monster and also gave the worst “apology” to the girl’s family that I’ve ever heard. Thai teenager's family grieves as Australian charged with murder says death was 'out of my control'

Question is, what do you consider “high rates” though 😆

You are right. I saw the announcement on some FB pages and stupidly forgot about it. However we actually had the same conversation some days back, that bars were too quiet to bother to go to work so it wasn’t just about Saturday.

Not sure if there’s anyone who can report back. Was chatting on Line with one guy yesterday. Despite it being Saturday he and his friends (all bar boys) were heading to Bang Saen for fishing and dinner. Wasn’t a customer sponsored outing. I asked why they weren’t at work. He said bars were so quiet now it wasn’t worth their while to go. I read a Pattaya travel forum where inevitably there’s alot of chat about the girl bars and punters are saying the same, very quiet and receiving long distance begging messages from the working girls. Seems to be worse than the usual low season malaise.

But why, it’s more enjoyable to leave you in suspense?

Your original post hasn’t hit 24 hours yet and both posts were made 4 hours apart, hardly a day ago I know Australia’s timezone is ahead of the rest of the world but didn’t know there was a time warp there too…! Perhaps the club you mean was BEEF?

Really fantastic report @jamiebee thank you for taking us along on your adventures. Do we have to wait another year for the next one?

I agree but still not very clear on the exact circumstances that led to this choice. Sure customer isn’t attractive but realistically how many are? Possibly too customer approached it in emotional rather than professional language leading to boy getting upset as well
