Too true. Not yet had a boy who says, gosh, you are fat and ugly, and your dick is tiny!

Why? Do your friends have severe allergies? Wouldn't having a bottle of antihistamines on your night stand be more helpful? Perhaps bring your own diffuser and sprinkle it with a few drops of eucalyptus oil or Vicks Vaporub.

I have spent my professional life working with computers (several at the same time) BUT cannot cope with a bleedin' smart phone. And I daren't ask a young person for help.
To be fair, many traders (!) prefer cash to them paying a bank 3%.

Can't even find the bugs topic I reacted to yesterday.

Also: can't login to Sawasdee forum the past few hours. NBD

Are you still using cash, Pat, having lived in Thailand for as long as you have? I almost always pay by QR code these days from a Thai bank account where I maintain a limited amount for my daily expenses. Grab, Bolt, etc are linked to the same account. Even street baskers have QR logos on their collection baskets these days!

While you are correct, specially 100 and 500 being particularly difficult to tell apart at dark here's solution I apply to myself - different denominations in different pockets

@floridarob please convey my thanks to reader for all the new information, even if conveyed indirectly through you.

But also funny and smile never leaves his face. When I ask my customary " do you like boys or girls better", answer was straight shot " I like girls but my job is fuck the boys"

I'm trying to convince Reader to post again, giving the reason mentioned here....in the meantime he texted me this, since I asked for an update on the masaasge places since I'm fixing ( @BjornAgain a Texan expression for ya) to head to that side of the world.


About Sun Massage on Silom Soi 6 (first shop on right as you enter from Silom rd.). It's my favorite in Silom because of the variety of nationalities represented (Lao, Vietnam, Myanmar and Thai). Unlike most other shops that tend to be single origin, Sun features an ASEAN approach. Many downright handsome guys of all types with the bodies to match. Rooms have massage tables and en suite shower. One hour 500 baht shop fee.
In Saphan Kwai, you can count on frequent turnover as newbies arrive and some rotate home. The wealth of talent remains impressive. If you venture out to shops on Sutthisan road, you become aware your in a thickly settled neighborhood environment that I find fun to experience. Plenty of good food vendors and small eateries in welcoming atmosphere.
The first you come to One Spa. It's a 24/7 operation on four floors. Rooms run from basic mattress on floor to VIP and some LT suites. Usually a half dozen or so guys hanging around. 450 baht shop fee for standard room.
In addition to the well publicized shops that post regularly on LINE, there's an assortment of local Thai shops that function pretty much the same with all Thai staffs. I've sampled a few and found that you can have good results but recommend a bit more discretion. I believe the best way to proceed with these shops is look for a guy you like and don't be afraid to smile first. It it's returned, you're on your way to a new adventure.
The first local shop I tried is on the short Soi leading to STARS massage. It on your right side and there always some cute guys outside.
The second is on the same Soi where Loveboy is located. Actually there are two on right side and frequently guys are hanging around outside. I stumbled upon the first guy when I was headed to LB and returned his smile.
At the end of that Soi you'll find 39 Underground Sauna. This is very popular with locals and there's no restrictions on clientele. Although I haven't used it, have read favorable reviews on forum of those who did.
Just to right of sauna entrance is a coffee shop known as 39 Hornet. Operated by same owner as sauna, it serves up fine coffees and pastry. And if you venture upstairs you find yourself in a maze that kindled memories of Babylon's legendary Garden of Earthly Delights but minus the naked part. It's pitch black except when you go to third floor where it opens into a veranda of sorts facing rear of building.
One last note. If I owe anything to my sauna success it's this: don't hesitate to make the first move. Otherwise you risk wasting precious time.

Thai notes are still being designed with the value on the bottom right corner instead of a top corner.
In dark taxis or clubs etc it is impossible to read value without taking all notes out or storing them upside down.
No petty comments about colour blindness please.

I don't know Reader and I can't speak for him.
However I can say that if someone takes the trouble to regularly share useful Bangkok updates and links, it could get to be quite disincentivizing if another regular and opinionated poster(now departed) continually criticizes and disrespects your posts and posting style.

Ohh...and what were you doing before giving out those notes? 🤔😏

Is this English?

Is that 'Google Lens.

That went over my head hehe. It was just an observation. I'll be the last to complain about using AI.

Soi 4 is not owned by the Patpongpanich family - they only own Patpong, both 1 and 2. Soi 4 is owned by a completely different Thai Chinese family, just as the Thaniya area is owned by yet another completely different Thai Chinese family.
It was the Patpongpanich family that first opened-up that area in the 1940s with Patpong Road, but the other roads and surroundings were developed by other families that came after. The family that owns Soi 4 still resides in that house at the end of the lane. There was a period in the 1980s, when Patpong was at the peak of its international popularity, that some people referred to Soi 4 as Patpong 3, which it never was. Of course, at that point, the term Patpong was often used for the nightlife area as a whole. Soi 4, however, was generally known as Soi Charuwan; or to those played there at night, as Soi Katoey.
Regarding Circus and Pride, the claim by that bloated, bottle blonde, Australian that he had no management control over Circus and Pride is at odds with his posts on Sawatdee after he took-over the Telephone site, where he shows himself as almost a micro-manager at Pride and speaks as if he was the prophet of Soi 4's revival. Nobody wants to be associated with failure, I suppose - or perhaps with something that has yet to emerge.

Who is the 'he' who posted and from where? So well written and without the aid of AI.

Thanks, interesting.

It's already less twinky than in its heyday when Sunnee Plaza was the centre of the action. Some punters miss those days and that scene.

A haircut had better go well. I think most of us would be furious if it didn't; the result might lead to public embarrassment. 😡
