Try and we will see what happens.
Reading some of your posts one wonders if really being homophpobic is such a great sin.

I agree

Rather makes the point that Vinapu makes, that we all have different likes and dislikes. Rather unnecessarily rude, I thought.

If you stay at 56 surawong, they have an offer now. Breakfast at Ruenton in Montien Hotel for 400bt. Quite a good deal if you are into breakfast.

Add Ibis Styles on other side of Silom to the rooster. I was there once upon recommendation here on forum and liked it.

There has indeed been some talk ---- for about 20 years when we were promised MRT and BTS tickets would be combined.

I don't think anybody in the industry is.
I remember when the talk was all about how Soi Twilight was about to close for redevelopment.
The bar owners all denied it and even erected a sign at the entrance claiming the Soi would be open for another 7 years.
It closed a few weeks after I had returned home!
Thais love to gossip - about us, each other, bars opening and closing, etc. I tend to take their 'information' with a grain of salt.
I'll believe it when I see it.

Last month I asked Guido if he had his lease terminated, or not renewed. He said no, and that soi 4 could carry on 2, 3 4, years or more, no one knew. This was specific news, but Guido is not regarded as very reliable!

Should we assume that an enhanced dick was the primary reason you were unhappy with your visit to Fafa? And that poor housekeeping or asking for payment upfront (objectionable though it is to me too) were secondary reasons?
I would agree that a place that is essentially a knock shop should have the manager knowing that customers dislike enhanced dicks and the manager should have checked before hiring. Failing to do so would be unacceptable. But it doesn't mean that all the other boys too had enhancements, and therefore a single instance of siliconisation does not warrant, by my books, a complete write-off of the entire shop and its entire stable of boys. @Keithambrose you have hope yet.
The last time I encountered an enhanced dick was some years ago in one of the shops opposite the Meridien on Surawong Road. Naturally, it was a big disappointment. Unlike Fafa, these shops are Type 2 - they don't see themselves as being in the sex business - so the managers would not have a right to inspect the genital equipment of their staff (male or female) before hiring. I therefore could not blame the management for my disappointment.
Yet, that incident was memorable. After I discovered in the massage room that my guy had been enhanced, I simply decided that I wouldn't do him, and with my eyes mostly closed, let him do me. What resulted was one of the best edging sessions I had. The bugger had skills!

That's completely opposite to my experience, albeit that it was just one visit and a few years ago. Hope it hasn't gone downhill.
The thing about reports and reviews is that to make sense, we really need multiple reports over time. For what I think is a less-frequented place like Fafa, this may be lacking.
Same with the Saphan Khwai places. Ever since reader left this board, we haven't had many reports. He was a regular patron of those places. Yet, by all impressions from their social media, they're going strong.

TCS Spa at Ari branch is very clean and nice. Service is good too, but be prepared to pay min tip of at least 1000. Boys are good quality too. The other one that i have tried is Motion Spa (a few branches), also the tip is high but boys good quality.
The "seedier" massage places like: Fafa, 15M, starman, kman spa etc. their premise are not great so its best to have them come to your hotel. lots of boys to choose from but quality of service may not be of TCS or Motion. you get what you pay for i guess. some of the boys picts from these not so nice premise are mostly touched up. so best is to confirm the picts with the booker. but lots of boys to choose from so im sure one would stir your loin hahahahaha...

Avoid Fafa. It is squalid, rooms are filthy. They take money on arrival. Service is awful.

Maybe she's telling 'porkie pies'.
From Google:
"A Thailand Rabbit Card is valid for 7 years from the date it was issued. [1]
Key Validity Rules
Card Lifespan: The physical Rabbit Card lasts for 7 years before it completely expires and needs replacement."

Maybe that means the physical plastic card needs replacing. But that opportunity was not offered to me by the guy at Phrom Phong BTS.
Maybe they are worried about me money laundering my 25 Baht journeys😛

I got one a couple of weeks ago and the woman told me that it’s good for seven years.

As I think I reported earlier -- 7 years no longer exists. It was abolished a year or two ago. Since then, I have had to have two one year ones.
You can (and do) still use your 7 year version till you try to renew it, then you become annual.
Don't forget to take your passport (or a copy) with you to renew.

Darn it, this thread reminded me to check my rabbit card, I thought it was close to the 7 year expiry and sure enough after checking it expired June this year. Oh well next year I will have to renew it or get a new card altogether.

After the upgrade, when the "look and functionality" had changed, Mr Oz advised that if we clicked on the "theme" tab lower left and making a simple selection, we could revert to the OLD version of the forum, which I DID by selecting "Default", bringing the appearance back to its former glory...... @bkkmfj2648 is absolutely correct in his guidance.
Good Luck

I believe that after the upgrade that you can influence the structure/look of your GayGuides experience by clicking at the bottom of the lower left of the web page on the Theme selection choice - as shown in the below diagram and you can choose from 4 different types.

I don't remember which one of these 4 themes is the one prior to the upgrade. So, cycle through each one until you find the one that you like best.

Walking is not a bad thing!

Do you not carry a tatty old photocopy of your passport.
I do, it worked. Because I recently got a new passport (well about 1 year ago) I also carry a copy of the expired one.

Smells, hair below eyebrows on body and BIG wibbly wobbly bits.

Ah, a better answer just occurred to me.
Tattoos are a big turn off. Face tattoos, large body tattoos, mural tattoos running down the arm, and so on.
Also young men tend to perm or curl the hair on the top of their head, and keep the sides extra short. A permanent up-do. It's pitiful looking. Someday they'll look back, guffaw at it and say "we were a bunch of goofballs".

Afterall, its not a lifelong commitment, its just a blowjob or a quick fuck ! AND, you have the option of turning the lights OFF.

Yep unfortunately you will need your passport to buy another rabbit card, last trip I think they had to reactivate mine which required my passport which luckily I had with me that day. You can't use credit cards at the turnstiles on the BTS (yet - I think there has been some talk?), however on the MRT, ARL and SRT, credit card is accepted. You would be better off just buying a cash ticket for the BTS at the booth or the machine (I think the machine accepts cash?)

I'm turned off by effeminate guys, poor hygiene, obesity (I want a swimmer's body), mooks and silicone, unfriendly or arrogant attitude and small cocks. (Sorry, but I'm a size queen!)
I'm obviously turned on by the opposite - especially if they are Asian. And I'm rarely disappointed, especially in Thailand where the big Isaan cocks hang out.
