Way to go keeping it vague. I would be amazed if there weren't an impact.

For me it's not mainly the loss of staff but what that may indicate. The Tarntawan has been becoming tattier and, the carpets and curtains, dirtier each time I visit. The staff and attitude made that an inconvenience rather than the problem it truly is. If they don't either clean or, preferably, refurbish then it will no longer be worth the overhead to stay there for me.

If Hillary loses to Trump, Sanders could run in 2020 though he would be 79. I don't see how he could run against her as an incumbent, though maybe it depends how she got on in the meantime. That being said, American Politics is becoming ridiculously partizan and I see worse deadlocks to come this next 4 years than we've seen the last 4.

Has anyone from their own party ever run against a sitting president? Did they win? Maybe it's just me but Hillary really doesn't seem as bad as the right wing press makes out. With regard to the e-mail situation, why in hell did Hillary Clinton's staff have rights to add a mail server to a secure environment let alone permissions to interfere with mail. Suggests to me that the security is a joke. That is a whole bigger question to me. Yes, she is a lifetime politician but blaming her for supporting her husband after infidelity from a man who's been married three times, says he gets a newer model when they reach 35, talks about his daughter like a sex object and is racist, sexist, anti-LGBT and has run multiple companies into the ground wrecking the lives of thousands of Americans, is a bit rich. That he calls her "Crooked Hillary" when everything out of his mouth is either sexist, racist or a lie is just a joke. I can only hope the 42% of Americans that think he is presidential don't breed.

There's a difference between undeserving and completely unfit.

I just find it incredibly depressing that 42% of US voters still think Trump, the sorry excuse for a human being that he is, is fit to be president.

Have always stayed at Tarntawan but will have to check how ant transition goes. My fear if they are getting rid of staff already is that they won't be spending anything on improvements. Will have to wait and see.

There's an Internet full of ST meets for you to explore.

I never initiate talks about money beforehand preferring to pay the guy what he is worth after. Very rarely have issues and nearly all seem happy with my tipping. Got to say, I so rarely get a guy from a bar these days much preferring to off a gay from one of the massage places or online. Again I never initiate negotiations but online often get guys telling me their price. This is rarely over half of what I'd normally tip them so most go away happy, as do I.

The Democrat convention was so much more positive than the Republican. I can't believe how much complete bollocks Trump talks and yet so many Americans seem to be lapping it up. His poll numbers keep going up the more utter trash he talks. I have a real fear that unless people wise up we are going to have him as the president of the US. I simply can't imagine a worse scenario for women, gays or ethnic minorities than Trump as president with a Replublican congress and senate.

Trump's advantage is that people all over the world are very fed up with traditional politicians. Brexit would have been avoided if politicians had simply kept their mouths shut and stopped their insane battle of ridiculous things that were going to happen after Brexit. So many lies were told on both sides that finding coherent arguments was mostly impossible. Clinton has the same problem. She is a traditional politician and given the political map she should win easily. Trump has to win nearly all the swing battleground states to win and that shouldn't happen. The problem is though that Trump isn't fighting a traditional campaign and statements that would make a traditional politician unelectable simply make Trump seem plain spoken to an increasing number of Americans. I hope the "spoiler" candidates get out of the way though else it could give Trump an easier job.

The nightmare of Trump winning is that, in all likelihood, there would be Republican majorities in both houses. I can't imagine the issues that will be caused for all minorities should Trump win.

I'm sorry but being concerned about terrorism unless there is a very specific threat is faintly ridiculous. Even with the latest atrocities there have been under 200 deaths from terrorism in France in the last 10 years. Last year alone there were nearly 4000 traffic fatalities. So you are something like 200 times more likely to die in a traffic accident there than in a terrorist attack. Obviously, when something like Nice happens it is horrendous but worrying about one place over another holds no sense. Worrying about Muslims wandering around BT or SP is silly. Try worrying about getting on MC taxis sans helmet or simply crossing the road almost anywhere in Pattaya. Those risks are far higher.

My last trip was March but no problem finding tops, including one that topped me so hard I came twice without my dick being touched.

Well, at least the US are teaching their children that any misogynist, racist, loud mouthed idiot can become president.

One thing with the massage places. Do not go there late on, especially Soi Twilight. The later it gets, the worse the choice, the massage and extras get. Late afternoon or early evening tends to be best in my experience. Though I have occasionally had a good experience late on, I have had more bad experiences than the rest of the day combined. I'm not sure if it's the boys are tired, bored and want to go home or assume you will have had several beers and not notice how crap a massage they are giving.

Really depends who I'm with. Usually 30 minutes to 3 hours. At the longer end it isn't solid sex but 3 or 4 hours of fun with 3 or 4 sex sessions in that time. I'm always bottom on those sessions and it takes a really good top.

I blame credit card culture. People don't seem to understand that much as we'd like to afford everything now, constantly running with a £1.5 trillion national debt and a £150 billion deficit wasn't sustainable. The leave campaign, in addition to painting immigration as a huge problem, strongly intimated (OK, lied) that not paying into the EU would allow that money to pay for all the things that austerity has held in check. It's ridiculous and, at least for the foreseeable future, things will be even tighter financially. The bigger problem is that no one actually has any plan on how to do Brexit and with 70%+ of MP's being supporters of remain it will be interesting to see how government even functions over the next few years. Also interesting will be the impact on the EU.

The most interesting thing will be who the Brexit camp find to whine about once they can no longer blame the EU for all their ills.

You will start on your front. It probably depends where you go but remember you are in control and if they try to get to the sex too early then tell them otherwise. Try to put your dick in a position where it won't be too uncomfortable lying on your front with a hard on! Most will take their queue from you as to when to progress things. I really wouldn't over-think this. As long as you go in with an open mind you will have a fun and sexy time. I find that as long as I pick a guy who is looking at you (rather than his phone) and smiles at you with eye contact then chances are you will have a great time. Some guys are great at massage, not so great at sex. Others are mediocre at massage and great at sex. Far less are either bad at both or great at both. Note that the tips are the minimum you should pay the boy and if he has provided a great massage, sex or both then make sure you let him know with the size of your tip. If you find someone you really like you can always arrange to off him the next night. My trip before last I really enjoyed my time with a guy from Narcissus in Pattaya on my first night. I spent many days with him and got a daily guide, masseur and bed companion for a very reasonable 2500 baht per day. If you want a guide, you really need to organise it in advance. That gives you time to message on what's app or e-mail so he can find your likes/dislikes and let him devise a personalised tour for you. He will have a much better idea of how long to spend at each place and how long it will take to travel from one place to another. Also things you may not realise like the best time to visit a place.

I don't see the point in going from place to place asking boys about their prices. There are lots of boys around for most price brackets. If the boys in the bars want 3000 for a short time they are either getting it or not, what does it matter to anyone but them. Think though that if they agree a 1000 fee for three nights it's the same as a 3000 fee once in three nights and Three times the work. If the boys are happy and won't go lower then move on. Lots of fish in the sea. I've got to say I've never paid 3000 for ST but occasionally for LT if they were very good.

I can't remember the last time I asked anyone ahead of time what they charge. Sometimes my off will bring it up, but rarely. That being said I rarely visit, or off from, boy bars preferring to off from massage places. Are those ST or LT as you don't say?

Bangkok offers the best mix of the sights and sex. Pattaya is cheaper and great for the sex but light on the culture. Of course you could always do both depending on how long you are going for. My first trip I had a guide for a couple of days from http://bkktour.info/. Saved me a ton of time and money and let me familiarise myself with Bangkok. For the sex, there really isn't much chance to it if you choose a massage place or go go bar. For my first time I would probably choose one of the massage places that gears more to sex. It's quite simple, go in, sit down, pick a guy and have a massage. Try not to go for the cutest guy you can see if he isn't paying attention to you. Rule of thumb is that if a guy interacts with you, smiles, catches your eye, then he will be more interactive in the massage. If you are top only, you may want to mention you want a bottom to the captain. Most of the boys can top so if you are a bottom or versatile you can go with the flow. Try to resist escalating things too quickly, simply enjoy the experience and when you are ready for things to heat up simply start touching or caressing his leg or elsewhere. He will get the message. The price for the massage and minimum tip will be told to you at the start. If the boy is good then 50% over minimum is reasonable. Most of all, have fun with it. There's a temptation to over think things. In Thailand, sex is a commodity. You have money, they have a great body. You are giving them something they want, they are giving you something you want.

Not met anyone in Thailand that does it, though I'm ever hopeful. I do a bit of amateur massage and frequently give and receive such massages. It's always amusing to give a total top a rosebud massage and have them squirming. Mixed with a lingam massage it can be quite an intense experience for them.

Simply not true. Not only is there physical pleasure, who says the bottom can't be dominant?
