Or maybe better make your offer first? I hate haggling, and when I go to Boys^3 again, I will ask the boy if he wants to go with me for 1000, after some small talk in Thai so he knows I'm not there for the first time.

Yes the poor street vendors! I can just stay in all day if it rains, but they can't and in addition to inconvenience by rain customer number will be lower. Since about a week ago, it has been raining every day in Bangkok. But not the usual short heavy downpour, but light to medium all day. I had to cancel several trips.

Drinks in Screw Boys are 300 Baht (or did you get a late night promotion 250 shortly before closing?) I got a similar replay from a Sunee boys whom I told I am going to Boystown.

I have been paying 1000 for ST in Pattaya since I first came here in 2010, and every boy would immediately go with me again. Some extraordinary got 1200 for ST. There was a poll some time ago about tips on one of the forums. Thanks for everyone's contribution regarding the attempts to push ST to 1500 in some bars. When I asked in BoysBoysBoys in August, staff told me ST 1500, but when I left without a boy and they asked why I go alone and I told them 1500 is too much, it seemed there is room for negotiation, and next time I will explore this room, if there is an empty seat next to me so I chat with the boy first.

There is a running track and with several fitness points around Phratamnak hill in Pattaya, and a simple open air gym near the entrance to the park. I saw large numbers of Thai and Farang running and using the equipment there when I went for runs. Some areas are cruisy.

http://www.travelgayasia.com/bangkok-gay-saunas/ has up-to-date information of gay saunas in Bangkok, often with reader's comments. Although currently only 17 saunas out of 24 I know are on their list.

I guess most hotels wouldn't allow 3 people to stay in a room that is for 2. You would have to make arrangements for an extra (3rd) bed. bkkmfj2648, what kind of beds did you have in the rooms, single plus double?Even I (age 35), sometimes ponder going out (disco or late night sauna), but then decide that a good sleep is better than any sex I can expect.

That's exactly what I said: "BTW most discos and saunas have minimum age 20 years for customers." I know that from hear-say (I haven't read Thai law in original or English translation), however I don't know the law for hotels. Asked at Malaysia reception: the rule has been long time, it's only know that they enforce minimum age for visitor 20 years. Before they let 18 and 19 year olds in.

Please report, I am curious about this massage but want more feedback before investing time and money.

That's interesting, I feel similar. Bottoming doesn't give me much pleasure, I do it only with boys I like who are top only, but wouldn't pay anyone to fuck me. When lying flat on my stomach, I feel like needing to piss (but not in other positions). True bottoms are probably wired differently.

I recently visited friend in Lee guesthouse, looks fine. The Blooms further away from Malaysia hotel, past Tivoli hotel. Both are budget, The Blooms has rooms with monthly rent about 6000 Baht. New place http://sribumpenplus.com/ opened a few months ago, however starting from 1000 Baht per night is luxury by my standards.

Saranrom (around the park and palace) gets busy from 10 pm. I once met an available boy in the park in the evening, but have been only a few times in the evening (but many times at night). The Vietnamese boys were happy with 800 Baht + SGD to make a total of 1000 Baht? As far as I know, they ask for 1500 or even 2000 for short time. The top/bottom issue with straight boys is a bit more complicated. You would have to ask a straight boy before offing and with nobody in hearing distance if he is willing to bottom.

Anal sex is cultural imperialism by the porn industry. I do a lot of wanking with boys (some people claim wanking is no sex, can do that alone at home), and the one or other fuck, top or bottom. I know people who don't do anal at all and are happy. I'm more top, use lube and don't know how the boy cleans his ass. Had only one surprise in a sauna, it was quite dark so I didn't see it, but when taking off condom I noticed some matter on condom and on my finger, after some seconds of wondering it dawned on me, then I had to walk with it (condom and dirty hand) to a bathroom.

A friend who stays at Malaysia confirms: recently new rule minimum age for visitor 20 years and they enforce it. BTW most discos and saunas have minimum age 20 years for customers. Don't know if this is by law or arbitrary decision of management.

From flyer "Public transportation at Suvarnabhumi Airport" 2013: Bus 389 stops at gate 8 on 1st floor passenger terminal, 5:30 am or 7 am to 9:00 pm. Departs hourly. Fare 134 Baht, ends at parking at Food Mart Jomtien (walking distance to Jomtien Complex). Two years ago, I found the Friday afternoon bus booked out some times (i.e. I had to wait over an hour).

Advice for first time visitors http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2014/08/advice-for-first-time-visitors.html

I was happy with Chang Puak hotel (in walking distance to gay bars and Chang Puak bus station - I do a lot of travel by public transport so this is important to me) for 700 Baht (?) per night last year. This year I stayed in Green Palace (500 Bath (?), near Mall Had Suan Kaew and House of Male Sauna) for exploring area west of the moat.

Sorry, can't help you with becoming a paid member on gboysiam. I don't think any of the boys who post there is a paid member. Just had a look at registration, it's mainly in Thai, I can understand, but I see no need for me to register at the moment.

Or, if you don't like the various forms of online dating, try gay bars in Silom Soi 4 or the various saunas all over Bangkok. If you don't mind paying for company, try gogo bars or massage parlors.

Herbivores are raised and killed to eat them, the lion was killed for fun (I think those people even call it "sport"). This, I think, is wrong (but then I go to 3rd world countries to engage in cheap prostitution with locals, so how can I judge?). The outrage is overblown, for some opposing opinions google "truth cecil the lion", e.g. here: http://www.salon.com/2015/08/03/the_easy_morality_of_cecil_the_lion_our_problem_isnt_too_much_outrage_%E2%80%94%C2%A0its_that_we_cant_summon_enough/ http://conservativetribune.com/zimbabwe-truth-cecil-the-lion/: (That's an easy one. Lions are an endangered species, whereas there are so many Africans that they try to get to Europe. A lion who eats Africans should get an order instead of being killed, but I can't say that in public because it's not politically correct.)

Gay discos along Ratchada road and R3 sauna, or go to Saphan Kwai area (39 underground sauna and Pradipat gay venues).

When I said "live here permanently" I meant that I spend most time of the year in Thailand, and book BKK-BER-BKK tickets (when working in Europe, it was Europe-BKK-Europe). My situation is not permanent, sooner or later I will return to Europe. I spoke to friends from university, they were unemployed about a year and wrote 100 job applications to get 10 job interviews and finally get one job. I compare this to Beach Road hookers: chat up 100 passers-by, 10 show interest, but 9 want disgusting activities or offer little money, and finally one is ok. It's not for me, I rather spend my time in Thailand. However I came to the conclusion that the job situation will not get better soon, I have to put all my energy into looking for a job instead of traveling in Thailand.

The boys use nicknames ชื่อเล่น chêu lên (actually every Thai I know uses a nickname, except for doctors and professors at my former workplace) which are not in their ID card. Real names are longer and can be difficult to write, have a look at taxi driver's name card (behind the LED sign) when you sit in the front seat.

I used to work (one year contract in 2013), but not as a teacher. I cannot teach, I don't want to teach, and I don't have the qualifications to teach (I mean I'm not a native speaker, grammar-wise I can teach many a native speaker, but I have no documents to prove this). I found living and working does not suit me well, too many distractions. I would rather work in Europe, focus on my work, and come to Thailand several times per year for holiday. But I know people who work here (and get Western salary) and who love it. I would not recommend working for Thai salary and work contract (zero holiday in first year or work!). Currently I'm here on tourist visa and live on my savings.

I used to go twice per year 3 weeks each (from Europe), now I live here.
