as firecat said , don't worry about anything , just go. If you don't speak Thai is not much you can say wrong,behave like you would in your own country and you will do nothing wrong, as for tipping not enough it can be easily corrected by slipping another note. My personal experience from the first trip is tipping too much though / long time rate for short time , I did know difference/. Not having enough can be easily corrected by slipping plastic into cash machine. Just don't fall in love too fast

when is not raining, yes

I envy you and can't wait for your North Korean reports. If I was forced to choose between Shanghai, Seoul and Beijing , last one would be my choice, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Great Wall are not to be missed

I like it , stay there over Christmas and did not notice anything bad, not luzurious but comfortable, fantastic location and value for money

very sound advice Nirish, if Agoda says full, try Booking.com or Asiarooms.com etc. Even when hotel's own website says full, e-mail to hotel may result in hidden vacancy revealed, speaking from personal experience as well, most recent - Malaysia Hotel just before Christmas, booking.com showed full, 15 seconds later Agoda showed '2 rooms left at that price", bingo

welcome back anonone, you were quiet for a while. The Bromance is not sad movie , it's just eye-watering

you are not alone having that impression, the same goes with straight 'gay for pay' boys as opposite to gay go-go as long as I can see it

it is, but few hotels beat it when comes to being close to the action, I admit I have soft spot for the place and their room 302 where somehow I always land regardless l book 6 months in advance or show unannounced.

may be viewing pleasure plays the trick. I like Jupiter shows and boys but when entering bar mentally i'm not even considering offing a boy due to bad experience in the past but can watch them to no end. And really what is Super Star? Everybody has own definition and my super star may be genetic garbage to somebody else and other way around.

I was there in December, 1.5 hr massage 700, minimum tip not out of line of what other massage places in BT are charging / suggesting. Certainly it was good experience for me below are what I wrote in "day 8 " of my "Off to Thailand again" thread, confirming boys are Christian's type: " In the early afternoon wandered to Pattayaland soi 1, on where Dreamboys and X boys are located and was unexpectedly lured into Narcissus Massage by Bee, boy type Christian or Firecat would like rather than me but there was something enthusiastic in his voice so I took a chance. 1.5 hr oil massage 700, minimum tip for 1 hr 500 , longer or with sexual context 1000. Showered alone before , together after. massage cubicle has a mirror. As it's often a case smail framed boys are delivering quite strong massages and sporting quite a piece of manhood too. Both cases proved in this one. Proper order , first massage then the rest. Liked his sense of humor - he has quite a scar from motorbike accident caused by lady driving car while texting apparently. When my wandering hand found it , he slided my hand a bit higher so toughed his erection and said ' but nothing wrong here'. Would be afraid of God's wrath if tipped him only 1000 so gave him well earned 1500. Great session, sweet yet smart boy, Narcissus is undiscovered gem probably. Most of boys there a of cute rather than hunky type. When leaving guy was setting his stand with street food, for 50 baht had great and tasty meal as well."

work like any other and at least there's no dust

BBB Inn, not sold out , in the middle of the action 25 hours a day , 8 days a week , great A/C / I consider their best of all hotels I was in LOS ever / and definitely not nosey although your BF may not like it if he considers Tarntawan not discrete enough. Dusit Thani deal looks enticing but too classy for me so no experience with guests , specially covered in talc

Obviously you missed discussion about the movie we had here couple months ago, you'd be prepared with extra large box of kleenexes

so we can count on reading very hot trip reports ! have fun !

depends if boy is vegetarian or carnivore I guess

to be fair I recall two situations from the last trip when I was given wrong change / 100 baht / in may favour, both times in restauranths though

this is exactly reason I prefer to pay as it goes, do not want waiters to stress themselves with excessive tally

less competition for boys perhaps for those who are still there

don't cut yourself short, no reports are boring and it's always interesting how new visitors are seeing Bangkok scene

Only bar in PTY with Bangkok style very erotic show, ahem

Fortunately boys are making up for tired ambiance, always friendly.

welcome to the forum Nicko1 and don't forget to get wet at Songkran. Can we count on some trip report from you?

Was she instrumental in Thailand getting A-Bomb in Pattaya?

you are proven right, Marie Curie / nee Sklodowska / appeared on both Polish 20000 zlotych note from 1989 and with husband Pierre on the last 500 francs French note

I like paying up front, specially in places I'm not familiar with, one less pocket to watch although it must be said loudly I never had any problems in LOS with missing things or money. In bar I pay for drinks as soon as they appear and even when off boy I offed already before on the same trip I like to point that money on the table is his morning tip, would not do it with first time off though .
