Sounds like your ageist,😳

Same building, show room on the corner, think it's Bad Boyz.

Yep, some of the finest white painted concrete you'll ever see.

Thanks for the recommendation Olddaddy. It certainly has great reviews and seems good value. What I like about QS is that I get upgraded more often than not, when available, which is a real bonus.

I just picture you literally marching in .... You've been holding in your marching for a long time now, it was bound to come out eventually. You didn't tag me, hoping I'd miss it??

You have a room full of those awards..... doesn't stop you, then your statement 3 lines later, is a bit ironic as well:

I also enjoy Quarter Saladang although they have got rid of some of their gym equipment in the past year. .namely the glute machine 🍑 It's unfortunate I had to give them a recent 3 star rating I now prefer AT EASE hotel

The 13 year old post was resurrected by @Olddaddy who apparently has nothing better to do.

I will be there in a few weeks,when are you going home? I'm not interested in negative old people though , I want to dance🕺🏿 , I want to laugh 😃, I want to go to the gay sauna I want to wear my flower Fijian shirt 🎽 😳🌸🌷🌺🌻 I want to drink wine 🍷 I want to be ...forever young...I want to be ..forever young

I have just arrived at Pattaya. Seems like the apps are not as full of boys as last time in 2024. Are there any other members in Pattaya now? Let me know we can meet.

Hey, Durian. I wonder if you gave arrived at Quarter Saladaeng yet. If you are interested, there are orchestral concerts in Lumpini Park at 530pm on Sundays. I've always enjoyed staying at QS and I hope you have an enjoyable stay.

So Mirador Sur is a cruising spot during the day for sure, but according to locals - all action starts after dark there. I personally wouldn't risk it though. The left side(look at the map) faces more rough parts- definitely to be hunted during the day, but I wouldn't go there at night, hell no. The rest of the park feels pretty chilled and safe, it's a good location just for a casual walk as well. Many of these guys would be on Grindr, you can just walk or sit there, be available and see if anyone is going to approach, text on Grindr etc. Great shout about ubereats- it bloody works! Tried PedidosYa which is like the main app here and none of my credit cards work for payments, only cash. However Uber and Uber eats work perfectly. Happy to confirm Uber here is safe and very cheap.

One of reason for UK leaving EU were complains about over regulation

Raya breakfast offering is mediocre but sufficient for me. Seems like the guys also appreciate the buffet there, having options of salads, miso soups, some protein like saba fish, teriyaki chicken, or pork, fried rice, noodles, toasts with selection of jams, honey, chocolate and peanut butter spread. They change the proteins offering daily. I always find something to eat and will keep me full most of the time until after my afternoon massage.

This can be pretty much said about majority of places. My problem with those reviews is that if you don't know reviewer, you can't validate how accurate review is. There are serial complainers but also those who enthuse about everything and all in between.

Keep in mind, it could be fellow customer rather than staff who cleared you up so it could happen everywhere. Don't you have pockets ready to host your money ? Phone substitutes many things but wallet? You not alone, i noticed when I tipped my last boy before leaving Thailand week ago he placed money in case holding phone which I found abuse of pristine note.

And what do you expect to happen when they reach 70 and older? Still bright and happy?

I have never had any problems with the Raya and found the hotel quite nice, I always took the breakfast option and being a light eater at that time of day always had a decent breakfast (maybe if they put the english language papers back it would be even better). It would be great if they had a small gym there but it's not a deal breaker, Lumphini Park is nearby and a good morning walk after breakfast always went down well and proved a good start to the day. Now that the green mile has reopened and Lumphini is now linked to Benjakitti Park it would make for an extended morning walk. The staff have always been great and whenever I had a visitor to the room there was never any problems at all.

The magazine Classic Rock has Billy Idol's own version of the story. It is a fuller version of the link provied by @unicorn "We went there to have a whale of a time – a sex holiday, really. But it got out of hand": Billy Idol on the Thailand vacation that ended with a visit from the army By 1989, Billy Idol was out-of-control. 1983's Rebel Yell had turned the former Generation X man into a star, and 1986's Whiplash Smile, while being greeted less warmly by the critics, was still a commercial success. His personal life however, was in turmoil. Perri Lister, the mother of his son, had flown back to England the previous year after catching the singer cheating, and while the two tried to patch things up, Idol was caught in a cycle of indiscretion and depression, his bad behaviour matched only by the despair he felt about his inability to maintain the relationship. He also fell victim to the rock'n'roll lifestyle, and all that entails. He desperately needed a break, one that would sever the supply lines. And a friend, Harry Johnson, had the answer: a trip to Thailand. "We went there to have a whale of a time – a sex holiday, really," Idol told Classic Rock. "But it got out of hand. Bad things started to happen." It had started perfectly innocently. "We were just going to drink and not take any drugs," Idol remembered. "After about a week, drinking all the time was getting really heavy so we asked this cab driver if he could get us some blow. He went off and came back with this thin vial. It was six or seven inches long. We looked at each other, like, 'What do you think this is?' Because cocaine doesn’t usually come in a long thing like that. My friend put his finger in it and had a taste [mimes gingerly dabbing a sample on to his tongue]. It wasn’t blow." You can probably guess what happened next. It was heroin. And it was some of the strongest heroin around. The only trouble was that we’d got a lot of Valiums and heavy tranquillisers. I don’t do well on tranquillisers at all. It just made me change personalities completely. I would become violent and start smashing things; I’d been lifting weights so I was massively powerful. I think we went through a few hotels like that before the Thai army escorted me out of the country on a gurney [laughs]." According to legend, the army were forced to shoot Idol with a tranquilliser dart, although a more believable version of the story has him being injected with a sedative by a nurse. Either way, Idol almost certainly got off lightly. https://www.loudersound.com/features/we-went-there-to-have-a-whale-of-a-time-a-sex-holiday-really-but-it-got-out-of-hand-billy-idol-on-the-thailand-vacation-that-ended-with-a-visit-from-the-army He got off lightly? He should have been jailed for years! But then tourism was just really taking off in Thailand at that time and I am sure neither the hotel nor the Tourism Authority wanted that sort of additional publicity. Yet the punk Idol is still alive and still singing!

It's fraud 100%. In any country

Correct, these hidden fee that suddenly appears when there isnt such fee before. Ive taken guys from jupiter without entering bar before and just need to pay 500 baht off fee. Ive done this with many other bars as well and this is the first time i had this issue. And mind you, I didnt remove the guy early too, usually I will check with the guy if there is many customers (so he can still make money off drink) or not, and if he rather leave and come to me. And if I didnt tell mamasan, my guy can leave with just paying 500 baht...

What nonsense! New posters are constantly - and rightly - being asked about their preferences before advice is offered. You seem to forget this is now a worldwide site

I have never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out. But why on this good earth would a former long-term poster wish to re-post a long post praising a hotel 12 1/2 years after the original. He must be perfectly well aware that hotels undergo changes all the time. As I pointed out, look up that hotel now and most of the photos on the present hotel booking sites look virtually nothing like those posted above. I still maintain there should be a ban on starting new threads simply by reposting one that is so old. Perhaps we need our own statute of limitations!! Had he added a comment at the start of this thread about the fact that he and his bf had stayed at this hotel many years ago and he wanted to remind readers of its good qualities, I don't think anyone would complain. But to post as he did is highly misleading and, frankly, a disservice to members given how much does change over 12 1/2 years both in and around that hotel.

Can only update the political situation. The third and final round of the junta's sham General Election is underway. As the BBC reports, many of the popular parties were banned from taking part, and voting has not been possible in large parts of the country because of the violence. The dominant party backed by the ruling military junta is expected to win a landslide victory. The current regime has rejected international criticism of the election, maintaining that it is free and fair . . . Two previous rounds were held on 28 December and 11 January - giving overwhelming victories to the USDP [the ruling junta]. The party won only 6% of parliamentary seats in the last free election in 2020 . . . polling day was preceded by a campaigning period marked by fear, intimidation and a pervasive sense that little will change after the inevitable victory by the USDP. Everywhere the BBC team travelled in southern Shan State, we were followed and closely monitored by dozens of police and military officials, always polite but very persistent. It proved nearly impossible to get people to say anything about the vote, so nervous were they of possible repercussions . . . Parliament will meet within the next two months to choose a new president, and everyone expects that to be the coup leader Gen Min Aung Hlaing. It will be the same regime with civilian clothes. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx2l6wg0p8eo
