I went to Dreamboys (opp to Xboys Pattaya) and I paid 550THB to the bar to off the guy and paid him 2000thb directly. The drinks were either 200 or 250 thb each for me and the guy. Dreamboys had about 10 to 12 guys on stage all shirtless. 

so they raised price of off fee by 50 as only 3 weeks ago I paid 500

I remedied it  and still occasionally do with arranging day time visit day before. Specially hand on days when bars are closed

i tried that and on both occasions the guy didn't turn-up....and I lost heart. No mobiles in those days, by the way. And from then on, it was case of "a bird in the hand is worth two in a bush."

I hope our US cousins use that old proverb.

I know it in version ' better sparrow in hand than eagle on the roof"

The Thai version is "better shit in your hand than a fart [ in your hand]"

Does anyone own a copy of "Thai for Gay Tourists?" it is full of colloquial expressions that may be helpful (or embarrassing) in our encounters.   It must have been about fifteen years ago that I bought mine but, as usual, P objected to my using any of the idiomatic phrases. He hates it when I try to speak Thai and so I've learnt to keep quiet. Others may be more successful.

I think as time has moved on many of the idioms now  have modern versions and some old versions are now completely unheard of by later generations.

I suspect you are right. There are colloquialisms in English that, when heard in old UK films, seem  dated.

Why does he "hate" it when you try to speak Thai?
