Excellent. Always a fun place when I've been. And reasonable prices.

Or is the land border still closed except for Cambodians returning to Cambodia? Do you know of Cambodian people being able to enter Thailand by land in recent weeks?

Is it the case that if Cambodian people arrive by air in Thailand they get 60 days visa exempt but only 7 days if they arrive by land?

I don't know if it's still the case but a Freshboys waiter told me a while ago that the money we leave in the folder is divided amongst the waiters at the end of each night and is often a useful sum on a decent night. Obviously money we put on top of the folder goes to the individual, as everywhere in Thailand. I often ask the Mamasan to change a 1000 note to hundreds to give the men I like.

Amusing part where they film in Soi Cowboy and get hassled by the police

Having been too generous in my early years of visiting I should have listened to the bar boy in Ao Nang who said: 'If we have a good harvest of farang in the high season we eat in the low season'.

I agree with this. In Thailand's go go bars a boy is any male working on stage, even if they are 40+. In the West a boy is a male aged zero to about 18.

Hornet and HeeSay

Has the off fee at X boys gone up? I thought it was 800?

About half way down Patpong 1. I've never been in.

I too look forward to Jason's updates

From the airport I go to Makkasan, walk to Phetchaburi MRT station via the bridge over the main road (5 mins) and get the MRT to Silom

It's on Patpong 2, nearer to Silom Road than Surawong Road, and it's open 24 hours, as is the supermarket it's attached to.

Indeed, though in my case he had just earned 24,000 bt in 6 days so he was able to feel more flexible. And I like to show a man a good time.

After taking a man for two 3 night trips away from Bangkok and paying him 4,000 bt a day I was ready to spend some time alone. He asked if I would like to continue taking him at 2,000 bt a day (plus the bar fine for the bar of course). I didn't continue with him but we parted on good terms and I have taken him off since. I'm not suggesting driving their price down but I'm sure they look at the entire package we're offering eg. Are we going somewhere interesting and fun and having a good time? Are we easy going in the room and let them sleep when they want? Do we involve them in decisions about what we're doing and where we're eating?

Yes I visited 4 times a year until covid put a gap in it. I reckon I have spent about $300,000 in 15 years but what memories. Armed yellow shirts in Bangkok stopping my taxi before the coup in 2014. BBB Inn on Rama IV with handsome Vietnamese men. Vegetarian Festival in Ranong - tranced dancers and bloody devotees who skewer their faces and bodies. A hamlet 50 km from Chiang Mai with boars, pigs, hens and a bird that kept saying LIVERpool. I tried to teach it to say MANchester but it wouldn't learn. A walk at 4am in Au Nang and inviting a farmer man sat on the pavement to a women host bar. The beautiful young man in Tawandang disco in Udon Thani. And then there are the men, from Laos, Thailand, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam!

Yes, try Boyztown. Get Bolt app on phone for fast travel back from Boyztown to Jomtien with man. Agate is fine. I always book room for two, though alone. Consider East Suites for larger rooms.

Thank you for the correction. I am sorry to hear that.

To make a start. Jomtien: twinks at all of M Bar and Gus Bar, in Sunnee at Winner Bar, in Boyztown at Toy Boys, mostly gay is my impression. There are many more bars to describe, all of which are worth a look.

I used fast track on June 5th at BKK as an over 70.

The difference is small but exists. I was there a week ago. 12000 baht cost me £280.58, with no conversion, using Starling bank card at atm in Bangkok. So 42.77 per pound GBP. At X1 on Surawong I would get 43.90. The difference is 2.66%. So an extra £2.66 per £100 changed. The atm charges 220 baht fee so that makes changing cash at the best place in BKK (X1 on Surawong) a slightly better option. Not worth walking far in the rain though.

I have emailed similar items to hotel receptions in the past and they have always printed it, either free or for very modest cost.

Not my thing but I would ask the mamasans who would bottom. I think there would be enough.

He was not cute. I have no idea what crime I was reporting. If this happens to you please know that the Thai Criminal Code says Section 397 addresses actions that cause embarrassment or annoyance to another person, like unwanted touching or invasion of personal space so please report it to nearest police officer. Alternatively, don't bother, lol.

Another story from the past. Once I wanted to report a crime and popped into a police station I was passing in central Thailand. I wrote out the details in English in capital letters. The police officer suggested coming to my hotel nearby. I assumed he wanted more details of the crime. He arrived in my room but every time I turned round, about three times, he fingered my arse. I didn't fancy him so made some excuse to get him to leave. I know we Caucasians are exotic and white (sorry, a sort of beige off pink colour) but ??. TiT.
