I sent money by Western Union on Monday and it was picked up in Pattaya no problem.

Still goes on in Sansuk. Often see people climbing up trying to see over the walls. There are even some cubicles with viewing holes, on the second floor near the toilets, but those cubicles are rarely in use. It might be prohibited by management but TiT...

...and pay for it like we have had to?

That article said...” The Guardian has seen a list of 34 diagnostic tests and treatments that in future patients will only be able to get in exceptional circumstances as part of a drive to save money and relieve the pressure on the NHS.” Point is NHS doctors only get a very basic grounding of the multitude of ailments and diseases during their training. My Cancer consultant was not at all surprised my GP missed my cancer as they only spent a few days with the Cancer specialists in their training. They then had to go on to other departments, and there are many, in order to finish their training course in the time allocated. So it seems to me that these tests are in fact required if GP are expected to correctly diagnose patients problems.

An example of our wonderful NHS. Over the last year I had been to see my NHS doctor two or three times about passing blood. Each appointment took over a month to schedule. They were probably about 3 or 4 months apart. Each time he said to come back when the bleeding started again as he suspected piles. Of course with the months delay getting an appointment this was impossible as the bleeding only lasted a day or two. In the meantime I had my other regular blood tests and got a text message from the doctors to make a “non urgent” appointment. When I phoned and made this appointment,5 weeks hence, I asked what it was for. The reply was a prescription review. I thought no more of it and eventually attended late September. When I went in the Staff Sister, who I had to see as there was no doctor available, but who can do anything a doctor can do, was busy looking at my records. She said the blood tests indicated Anaemia and said I needed a camera job to see if I had internal bleeding. She said she would fast track me. I asked about the prescription review and was met with a blank stare. Next day I got a call for an Endoscopy and was immediately told I had Colon cancer and that it was blocking my Colon. So much so that the consultant couldn’t get past it with the camera. CT scans, blood tests, briefings, and a meeting with my team followed immediately. I had another meeting with my consultant the following Friday and he said he would operate the next Wednesday but, if I had any pain at all to come in over the weekend, as I was very close to having my intestines burst because of the blockage. He said he would operate there and then if required. After the operation I was released from hospital the following week. Total time from the edopscopy to hospital release was 12 days. Thank god it hadn’t spread. The treatment by anyone higher than Staff sister was good. By hospital doctors and Consultants outstanding. By general nursing staff, cooks, medication dispensers and other lowly paid staff appalling. None were even English. The food was inedible and friends bought in hot soup and other beverages. My first proper evening meal, the day after the operation,was a banana, a sandwich and a small saucer of crisps.... So, overall was I impressed with my NHS doctor his staff and most of the hospital staff? Well no, they bloody nearly killed me.

I having trouble spotting this guy.plenty of links but apart from one photo early on none describe exactly which boy he is. Not even the one above! Just says something about being with other models! Another poster says he has been on their Facebook for some time but again no direct link..help please So which one is he ? there are plenty of review sites for “working boys” with photos, descriptions and reviews on the web. They have been around for decades. Some of the three Gay Thailand review sites even have dedicated boy review forum! whats new?

Correct!October and May are low season and best as far as I’m concerned. more boys per customer. less people in restaurants..quicker service. same for bars less traffic, especially in Pattaya Cheaper hotels and more choice Cheaper flights saunas not so busy with falang, so more choice of thai boys! weather may be rainy...irrelevant as I do not go to the beach! less queueing ta the airport...flights invariably not full i could go on.....!

If no show have drink prices reduced??

The Chinese writing might put some off!

In Pattaya everybody in the bars is offable.

Over 15 years and literally thousands of visits to bars and gogo bars I have only been pickpocketed once. That was in an outdoor Sunee Plaza bar by a boy I thought was getting a bit amorous....but there was more to it than that! It cost me 1000 baht.

The ones dressed as women I ignore, the others I may talk to if absolutely necessary (very rare).

I have often thought of booking the Serene Hotel in Boyztown as a knocking shop when I’m out and about in BT. If you’re planning several offs or a threesome then it saves hassle getting back to my accommodation. Only about 800 a night worth it in my opinion. if I was planning an all nighter then it would be back to my place.

The train station(s) are in a very quiet area. I doubt there is anything going on at midnight! I don’t know anything about Bali Hi as ive never been there late at night

So, if a guy can work in a bar or gogo at 18 but cannot drink in a bar until he is 20, how do we buy him a drink?! TiT!

Yes Eva Air from London...however.... Last July they went on strike and cancelled all European flights for 2 or 3 weeks. Fortunately they returned to work 3 days before I was due to fly home with them. Their fares were always £100 cheaper than their competitors on the London / Bangkok route and I have used them for over 10 years. Following the July strike they have raised their fares and are now the most expensive on the route by at least £100 for the dates I want in November. BA. £412, Thai £458, Eva £550...Probably to pay for the strike..their problem not mine. So now I’m with Thai as BA are top of my no fly list.

Same, same, offed guys from Panorama

Refund is an unknown word in Thailand. I wait for your conformation it has arrived!

anddy....food for thought!

Thanks for the reply Bravo. Yes I have been there before but only once or twice. I would qualify for the 2000 Baht entry fee and if they insisted then I wouldn't bother. I could get a MB of the apps for that! I will check their calendar first and give it a try on my next Bangkok visit!

Bravo...I want to know more about the O Party at Sauna Mania. Where in the Sauna is it held, which floor etc? Is it regular every Friday, do you know? Does the admission fee depend on age? Are all welcome to attend? Do the models want tips? If so how much? Thanks

Floridarob I was always led to believe that pricing a room below the rate advertised by Agoda/hotels.com etc. was a big NoNo. Is that true? How much can you reduce the rack rate without getting problems from the consolidators?

I cannot see the logic in having a 12 - 18 hour stop over whilst flying for 12 - 24 hours in total.It must be torture!I I would consider not less than a 24 hour layover...and a decent hotel...but 12 hours...no way!

Bet they rue the day this was hung....
