Well I made my trip to Bangkok and back. I wanted to thank everybody for their help, and this site, for its help. It made a big difference in getting me around on a short trip. My first impression of Bangkok...It's hot..... I arrived at midnite on Japan Airlines. No wait at immigration and bags were waiting. I stayed at the Tarntawan Hotel and was there in about 1 hour from getting off the plane. I did find a guide, but I found him on Craigslist. I was a bit reluctant given what Craigslist sometimes has to offer. But we met in hotel lobby and talked for awhile and I felt totally comfortable. He turned out to be great. He was 21 and as cute as any boy I saw in Bangkok. We spend the day together and I couldnt have asked for any more. All the helpful hints I picked up off this site, really payed off for me at the clubs. I remember one thing GT said, "Dont be shy" I am one of those types, but seeing I had only a few days, didnt want to waste to much time sitting in a corner trying to figure it out. I went to B & N for a massage. They had about 10 boys working. The boy working the front desk, noticed I was having trouble deciding and asked me exactly what I was looking for. I told him and he pointed out about 4 boys that would work well with me. He was right. I went back 3 more times I have been to Rio many times, so I know what it is like in the Saunas. The clubs in Bangkok are a totally different game. I walked down the street with all the Clubs. There is so much of the "Come into our Club" I was just trying to look around a bit and the door guys are grabbing and shouting and I was a bit uncomfortable at first. Finally at Future Boys I had about 3 guys grab me and pull me into the Club. Then passed off to the bar boys and then all of a sudden there is the mamasan sitting next to you asking if you want a boy. It was about the most confusing 2 minutes I can remember in a long time I told them I had just arrived and never seen a show and wanted to. I just wanted to be left alone for awhile. I was very happy to find that they are very good about talking and listening to you. They keep checking on me, but pretty much respected my wishes. Feeling comfortable now, well lets just say I didnt go back to the hotel alone. I only went to Future Boys and Bangkok Boys. I was more comfortable at Bangkok Boys as they had a bigger and better selection of boys. I pretty much used the tipping ideas that I picked up on this site and all worked out very well. My departure was much the same as my arrival. I was only person at check in at Cathay Pacific and then only a couple of people in line at immigration. So had a lot of extra time to sit in the airline club. From beginning to end, I had a great time. The hotel was great, but I probably wont stay there the next time only for the lack of a swimming pool. Next time?....Yeah already looking for time off and airfares. Again, thanks to everybody for your advice and help Paulsf

Thanks for your post Firecat, it really answered a lot of questions that I had. I am really looking forward to this trip as it will be my first time to this part of the world. Exploring the two different cultures of Bangkok (that of the day and that of the evening) sounds exciting. A couple more days before I leave, but being able to talk about it with some people with common interests has left me with wanting to hop a plane tonight Thanks so much for all your help. Paulsf

Thanks for your help guys. I arrive in Bangkok at 11:30pm, so hoping I might be able to get some sleep the first night. I was lucky enough to score a first class ticket from San Francisco, so that should take some of the edge off the trip. The daytime sightseeing should take care of itself. The research I have done, leads me to pretty much what you have mentioned. I guess that is why I would like a boy to show me around. Partly with a short trip, I will get to see more, and it's fun to have someone to share it with. I have spend many evenings in Rio, but Bangkok sounds a little more complicated in the nightlife department. In Rio, you just hit the saunas and deal directly with the guys. In Bangkok, sounds like many different kind of places to spend the evening, and a middleman to deal with But I'll give it the old college try. Again, thanks for your help and I'll keep you informed Paulsf

I'm making my first trip to Thailand next week and will only have 4 days in Bangkok. I've picked up a lot of great info from this site and hope to be able to do a lot of daytime and Nightime exploring. But I was wondering if anybody knows if it's possible to find a boy to use as a tour guide for a day or two? Thanks

I have found this a very interesting post as I have been going to Rio about 2 times a year for the last 4 years. Well next week I will be making my first trip to Thailand. I will only be going to Bankgok for 4 days, but with all the info I have picked up off this site, I expect to have as much fun as I do in Rio.

Not so much a problem with getting arrested, but a problem with finding what you really want. There are a lot of straight boys posting and boys new to escorting. They will promise you the world, but rarely deliver. Just make sure you really get your point across as to what you want and expect.
