Oh.

Well that certainly doesn’t sound good. Complete transparency was the whole reason I began doing business with Transferwise in the first place. If DeeMoney is just a marketing ploy it seems like a Thai bank might be a better bet. I wonder if a Transferwise mult- currency account would be helpful to transfer from Baht to another currency. One other thing I wonder about is, if one day I do need to transfer money out of Thailand, how much of a hassle are currency controls. I mean, I think they require you prove the money wasn’t “ill-gotten“ in Thailand. How can I prove the (foreign) provenance of the Thai funds if I originally brought the money into the country via Transferwise which shows up at Krungsri as domestic transfer...

A friend of mine uses this outfit. It seems to be similar to Wise (which I use a lot to send money to my Thai bank), but for transfers from Thailand. I haven't used them, though. https://www.deemoney.com/send-money-from-thailand-to-france/

thanks for the explanation about number of posts

Thanks for the great list and the additions.

I agree

I'm always careful to book a room for two, even though I travel alone. I also email the hotel in advance to ask about their joiner policy. This way I've yet to have any problems bringing guests back to my hotel room anywhere in Thailand.

I had a wonderful experience 2 years ago in Hanoi at a massage place. Boys in a line up behind a window. Found a great performer with a swimmer's body. Wish I'd had more than 3 days there.

Nice six pack

I've been around for a while, but never posted. It's great to have a forum and keep it going.

I guess it's safe to say most of us miss Bangkok. No place else like it.

I've been twice in the two years before the pandemic. Loved it. Grindr works well and Blued.

I'm new too.

TransferWise seems like the best value option in my case. I use it all the time to transfer to my Thai account. But I don't know a good solution to send money to a boy I am sponsoring. He's fallen on hard times due to Covid and I like him very much anyway. But he's not Thai and has no bank account. Western union transfers are expensive and I can't use transferwise as he has no bank account. Does anyone know of another method? Line maybe?

Yes They are very much interested in an off. As Vinapu so rightly says, several of them have quite a personality and the view over to Jupiter can be quite entertaining.

Maybe everyone already knows this place, but it was new to me. A boy I know from ex soi Twilight Hotmale host bar told me he'd start working here after the demise of Twilight. I was there a few weeks ago (August) and saw he and several other hosts are indeed working at Welcome Bar. It's almost directly across from Jupiter. Good place. Are there other host bars in Bangkok now?

This is exactly what I ended up doing three years ago. Thought I'd give Phuket a try, ended up back in Pattaya after three days in Phuket. I was glad airfare were cheap, compared to my home country, so I could just pick up and leave earlier than planned.

Absolutely. He is not a boy to be trusted with private information. He has no pictures of me...I hope.

This is exactly what I experience with one repeat of mine. I like that he is very chatty and tells me all kinds of trade "secrets", secret to me at least. He's only too happy to go into great detail about encounters of his, porn he's done, online brokers of his (I had no idea that existed) said broker gets him 6 tricks a day when he's in Bangkok (at 1500B a pop, interestingly enough). Yes, the boy has stamina. Anyway, this boy gleefully shows me pics of his customers! I want him to give me tips on boys, who is nice, etc. and show me boy pics. He wants to show me his customers, including dick size, sexual perversity. Ick. So, we need to be careful.

That's for sure! Yes.

Ya think?

Yes. I am very aware of this. Certainly I do nothing overt to lead him on. I don't tell him I love him or that there are any future plans for us. Nothing. But of course I can see how hard he is trying to ensnare me and how happily he is constantly on Facebook with his EIGHT siblings and mother, proudly showing them what we are doing... I suppose I have a natural tendency to unwittingly encourage the boys I really like. As a previous semi LT squeeze once sized me up: you're the type of farang who is kind to the boys, you're sweet to us. My friend from my bar already told me and that's why I wanted you.

Dragon: The same type boys, but FAR fewer in number. As in one or two.

Now the boy has begun buying me gifts. I go off gallivanting to massage places and whatnot in the afternoon. When we meet up in the evening he's bringing gifts now. Clothing. I suspect this speaks volumes about the dire state of my wardrobe. I start to overthink and wonder; but then I stop and remember what Reader said: carpe diem. So I'll just go with the flow and hope I don't end up like some beached whale or something. I sure am a long way from Kansas. I love it.

Much to my chagrin, I have to agree. I'm seeing a fair few families. I kind of enjoy shocking them, although they don't really react at all. I never, ever initiate any PDA, but my current, part time, squeeze LOVES public displays of affection, so he can carry it off with great confidence. I get the feeling he's proud to parade me around, like a prize cow at the local farm fair (or a prize stallion, I would like to think, haha). Mind you, the PDA we are talking about is very low key, as in he leads me around by the hand or puts his hand and my shoulder, showing he owns me, I suppose.
