The show is okay and they have many attractive young men...I am just not a few fan of the big spenders monopolizing the guys for drinks the entire time but then never offing anyone. I also don't understand why the guys would prefer to spend time sitting with someone in the bar for drinks knowing it will not lead to an off and miss the opportunity to go with someone for more money. It is low season now so very few offs. Sitting with big spending customers for drinks and tips is better than no offs. aaroninatl 1 Quote

Once you settle on a few regulars, you don't have to go inside the bars anymore. You can get the contacts of the guys and can make arrangement for them to meet you. aaroninatl 1 Quote

Just keep your eyes wide opened and be free of any pre-conceived ideas Oh I'm definitely willing to improvise. I'm still hoping to find a vet like one of you guys that'll let me tag along while I learn the ropes. But I'm sure within a week or so I'll be up on on all the slang and strategy. This trip was originally more for seeing if this part of the world is someplace I'd like to semi-retire to for a couple years. I knew there was this scene, but it wasn't the motive for the trip like my trips to Montreal, South America, Europe or Ft Lauderdale usually are. But yeah I'm excited to dive in and have some fun next week. I've been reading countless trip reports and am somehow excited for my first late night meal at Foodland. bkkmfj2648 1 Quote

Too many mafia movies I guess. I was like that's pretty brazen to brag about doing something like that in a public forum. daydreamer and vinapu 2 Quote
Members daydreamer Posted 1 hour ago Members Posted 1 hour ago Yes, in the mafia world context, "off" would mean to terminate that person. In Thai boy bars, customers off boys. In Thai lady bars, customers barfine ladies. vinapu 1 Quote
