I believe most guys now are behaving properly and giving good service.

But once high season kicks in and there are customers aplenty, they might try their tricks again.

I think I prefer visiting during low season because of this. Unfortunately I am neither young ,fit, rich or attractive to compete with other foreigners so low season is my only advantage 😅

you are not alone, I also like low season , specially that it's not really that low.

 

as for "  neither young ,fit, rich or attractive "  wiping your mirror with Windex will help to brighten your day(s)

Thank goodness I didn't plan a trip this weekend to meet my regular guy!

On Thursday, the Thai government announced news on entry restrictions at its checkpoints with effect from next Monday 17 November to stop visa runs from illegal foreign workers. According to the news, repeated offenders might be prevented from entering Thailand permanently. First time offenders could be required to stay one night overseas before being allowed back into the country.

My guy took immediate action once he found out the news. His visa expires in first week of December but he didn't want to risk any chance of being denied re-entry during a visa run when the new rules kick in so he immediately booked a ticket for Friday to Laos and back.

Ever since the borders at Cambodia were closed, many Vietnamese had to do visa run to Laos. The trip takes about one day two-way.

My guy left Silom at 11pm, reached Laos and got his passport stamped at 10.30am in morning. His new visa is until mid January 2026 so he can be in Bangkok for New Year and Christmas (with me!) without worrying about visa expiry!
