Indeed, there is rarely a year without this, schools closed etc. Strangely, the Government doesn't do much about it! (Use of irony!)

Nostalgia is a wonderful thing!

I take a blood thinner, Apixaban. I read that this is one of the drugs for which the Biden administration is trying to cut down the price. It's a very standard drug. I get it free in the UK. I asked my pharmacist how much it would cost in the UK, if I had to pay. It was around 10 times more expensive in the USA. Scandalous. And, inevitably, the Republicans are opposing any price reductions!

Who writes this stuff nowadays, the City Council PR department?

Another wonderfully mad and impractical regulation. Just imagine try to breathalyze a few hundred partying guys leaving a disco! Let alone contacting their friends etc, and confining them in some form of pen! I mean, who thinks these things up?

OK! Let's hope.

I forgive you!

I see the idea. However will the government really reimburse hospitals for free treatment of 60m plus people? The cost would be eye watering. Plus, I imagine that the medical system would not have enough facilities.

Hopefully not gay otters!

Depends on the brown enveloped I suppose. Pretty odd that the awful Anutin, now Interior Minister, 'happened ' to be there. Sounds like a set up.

This seems too good to be true?

This just shows the low level of income in Thailand . No surprise. For Bangkok, the new rate is around £8.50 a day! This puts into perspective the discussions on here about bar prices etc. in my view we are still getting a bargain, and we shouldn't begrudge the money we pay for drinks, and boys!

I think that they have other things on their mind at the moment.

Very true. I believe that in the USA, on a number of occasions, the candidate with the most votes, eg Hilary Clinton, got the most votes, but lost, due to the outdated electoral college system.

Thanks for this. Very clear and helpful!

Upmarket is Le Meridien, almost opposite Patpong. Great buffet breakfast, nice rooms, no problem with 'friends', but 5 star, so more expensive. On New Year's day this year, half the people at breakfast were male couples!

Ok!

Details of content?

I used Mike, whom I thought was good, we had excellent trips to Kanchanburi, and Ampahwah, he drove which was helpful. Not as lot of local knowledge needed. I also used a Chinese guy, Andy, who was studying law. Very good looking, but not available for sex! Sounds on food. Bright, good English, but when we went to Ayutthaya he knew next to nothing, unlike Mac! The distinction, according to Moses, is whether they are listed as Companion, or guide. Companion is not licenced, whereas a guide is. This is not entirely clear from the website. Andy was Companion, Mac was a guide.

I have used SiamRoads quite a lot, and in particular Mac, in Bangkok. See other comments sbove. He is very good, knowledgeable about Thai history, and the gay scene. He occasionally has issues, ie disappears for a few days, but he is good. I usually pay him 4,000 for a day, which is over the odds, but never mind! I get him to come to the Meridien to have breakfast, and we go from there.

PS. They filmed me as well!

Can't remember, I'm afraid, sorry. Probably in room.

It was on Grindr, they contacted me. 4,000, which I thought was reasonable. They were good!

Private!

Website seems to be down?
