What are you baht stretching tricks? What advise can you share with fellow travelers? My money saving tip? If you want to have fun in a gogo bar for a good amount of time, consider opening a bottle. In pattaya it may only cost 1200 baht and mixers may be free. If you want to share time with many guys than a bottle can be a money saver! I don't know what the bottle price and policy is at boys boys boys.

Oh, and Pakistan https://youtu.be/dQBKNUg9fqA

I always keep a certain amount of your mergency money with me but that has nothing to do with the money that I had with me at that time. I was in the thick I'm doing my own Home Remodeling. Even now I have 5 $100 bills neatly folded and hidden in my wallet for emergency purposes.

My first trip to Thailand, my Thai friend took me to JJ Weekend Market. As we walked around he noticed that the woman walking infront of us had a backpack (On her back) and one of the zippers was open presenting a gaping opening into the pocket. She shimmied it of quickly and dug her hand into the pocket. You could see the dispair on her face when she told her husband her wallet and money was gone. On another trip, I took the bus from the airport and forgot my laptop and wallet on the bus. I had to race back to the airport and the bus ticket seller called the bus back to the airport and there was my laptop. Everyone got a 1000 baht tip, the 2 bus ticket sellers, the driver and my cab driver. In the USA... I forgot my pants at the gym and it had my wallet with $1500 in cash. In the morning on my way to work, I stopped at the gym and asked them if anyone turned in $1500? The girl pulled out a wad of money. I looked at it and told her my cash was in hundreds and fiftys. I told her I forgot my pants and my wallet was in my pants. She asked me if they were black jeans? I told her yes and she bent behind the counter and gave me my jeans with my wallet on top. Every single dollar was in there. I didn't give a tip but I did say thank you.

Thanks.... Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and stay at connect guest house. It's only for 2 nights. I should just go with the flow right?

Well it looks like my options are dwindling. Is there something going on in Phuket in October? The K Hotel seems to be booked. My backup option is the Royal Paradise Hotel. Has anyone stayed there before?

I'm going to walk back in there like i'm John Wayne. And I will tell them to... "Bring it on Pilgrim!" To say. Bring on the hot guys! I didn't mention that I have met some of the hottest guys in my life in Phuket! That is also the place where I met a guy that worked at boat bar. He reminded me of my old boyfriend from Bali. We spend a good time together. There also seem to be another Thai guy hanging around. I was told it was his cousin. So I included his cousin in our fun. We ate together and went out drinking together. They had a few hushed angry words at times and that is what tipped me off to the fact that they were BF's and not cousins. When the guy I liked was not around, I asked the other guy how long they had been together and he told me 3 years. When the guy at Boat bar found out he told me, They argued but I just laughed and hugged them both and told them now that there were no more secrets, we can all have fun. Oh and the fun we had. We stayed at the K hotel and that night we didn't get any sleep. When one of the guys left the room to go smoke, the other and I would get into the heavier sex for a while till it was 3 of us again and then it was just jerking and sucking. But when the other one went into the shower, the fucking started again. Oh.... and then there was the HOT guy... I was leaving Myway gogo bar headed back to my room for some reason when I noticed a very attractive guy walking next to me. He asked with a whisper, "Where you from" and I whispered back that I was from America. We didn't stop to talk, and continued in our stride. "Where you go?" He asked. "To my room, K Hotel." I said. "Ok, I go with you." He said. "I am bottom." I confessed. "I Top, have big cock, you will like. I fuck good." We picked up the pace to my room at the K Hotel" Oh... And then there was the time I ate some salad from the Sizzler Salad bar at the mall in Phuket... IT gave me Montezuma's revenge! I was crawling from the bed to the cold tile floor of the bathroom and praying for death!. I prefer to remember the sexy guy at the K Hotel and the couple from the boat bar. Yeah... If they can dish it..."I can take it .... Pilgrim!" Besides, I think this may be my final trip to Thailand. It's not as cheap and festive as it use to be. That is part of the reason I am only spending a small amount of days in Bangkok and the majority of my time in Pattatya.... and there are some Latin destinations calling my name that don't require a 22 hour flight. 400 and 500 baht for a drink at a gogo bar? I have to cry uncle. Time for me to see more of the world. The gay red light parts of the world! haha

Stay at a condo along Jomtien Beach. Try: http://www.asian-escapes.com (Asian Escapes - Rents Condo's at Jomtien Complex and the View Talay 5's &7) also try Gay friendly https://www.agoda.com/view-talay-condominium-7-by-vlad-property/hotel/pattaya-th.html (Vlad Properties - View Talay 7) The larger rooms come with a washing machine which truly came in handy for me. Something about the water in Pattaya that made my clothes smell Thai-Fresh! Often when I came back to the Condo at night, the guard was asleep and me and my friend just got in the elevator and went up to the room. If the guy your with walks in like he belongs there, he won't be bothered. But if he looks timid and eyes the security guard, the guard will want his ID.

When I was on www.gaypatong.com doing some research... I came across this and liked it so much I thought I would post it here. Meet onlineTimes have changed quickly also here in Thailand. Just yesterday the hook-up world was very different. For a forty+ year old, the physical world is the real world. The digital world is mostly an annoyance that vibrates in your pocket. For a twenty year old it is just the opposite, the digital world is the real world. Gay's just don't hook up in the "old" real world anymore - They hook up in the apps and then meet in the physical world. If youʼre looking to maximize your interactions with locals and other tourists start now. The most popular ways to meet is by these apps. You can even line up your persons of interest before you start travel. - Grindr - Planet Romeo - Hornet - Growlr

It's been years since I have been to Phuket. As a matter of fact, after my last trip there, I swore I would never go back. It was just too much drama that trip. I had met a sexy Indian guy who seem to be rather wealthy. He took a liking to me which pissed off the Thai guy that was "just a friend." The Thai guy would kick me under the table and pinch me or give me nasty looks when the guy was not looking. I soon called it quits and was leaving when the Indian guy talked me into going with him for a ride. We parked along the beach and did everything we could in the limited space of a Toyota 4Runner. When we returned to the Boat bar, it was war. The slight kicks became hard kicks and now that I was thinking with the head on my shoulders.... I decided to leave them both alone. That was the same trip that went to the room of a Thai guy for sex and in the middle of us screwing his farang BF came into the room naked and joined us. I was not happy but went through the motions. I'm a bottom guy and the farang demanded that I top him. I did it, but I was not happy about it! Then I was tricked into having a drink with some queen at a beer bar. "Hi! I talk with you on the internet!" She yelled to me. I didn't want to be rude so I joined her for a small chat and purchased her a drink. She spotted another guy walking by, jumped up and yelled to him. "Hi! I talked to you on the internet! Come join me!" Sigh... I was had..... Then there was the guy I offed from My way with the mook and the small cock... Well I am having it about up to here! This trip is not going my way! I thought..... Then there was the woman trying to pick my pocket in Boat bar! She tried several times and I had enough and told her to stop trying to pick my pocket! Oh and don't get me started on the inflated Taxi rates! And as soon as I landed on the island, the mini bus I was on made a stop at an office and the people in the office wanted to act official and pretend as if they were doing the work of the government when all they wanted to do was try to pressure the passengers to book a hotel through them... Just get me to my hotel after being on the plane for an hour! Ok, Ok, Breath.... breath..... breath...... and exhale...... Ok, so I'm going back to Phuket hehehe I am wondering where to stay? I have stayed at Club One Seven and enjoyed it there but I think it is too far away from the action. If I off a guy I don't want to spend 30 minutes walking with him to the room. We will both be weary, hot and tired... Who said pay a tuk-tuk 250 baht for a 2 minute ride back to the room? Oh hell no! I've stayed at Connect Guest House. It was fine but it was too close to the action. I don't want the guys watching and seeing guys come and go from my room. I'm tempted to stay there again but I just feel it is too close. The other place I stayed is the K Hotel. I think I remember that I liked it there. It was only a 4 min walk from Paradise Complex so there was no need for a Tuk-Tuk or motorbike. I am even considering Paradise Complex Hotel.... Have any of you guys stayed near the action in Phuket at a nice place that is less than 2000 baht a night and not to far or to close to Paradise Complex? I'm only there for 2 nights. Saturday and Sunday night and then I am off to PJ's place in Chiang Mai.

Anyone know anything about Tour69 out of pattaya?

I use to like staying at the Regent in Silom. It is in the same soi as G.O.D. When I first found the place, it was remodeled and it seemed new. It was a great little basic place but it didn't have a safe in the room and the TV reception was spotty. You were also lucky if you got a room with a window. I liked the place. One thing that bothered me was that the cleaning staff often would not close the door so that the lock would engage. Many times I came back and only had to push my door open to enter my newly freshened room. I considered myself lucky that nothing was stolen. On other visits, I ran into the same trouble with my door not being pulled tight by the cleaning staff. Also things in the room were not working so well. The heater for the shower would not work or very low water pressure along with no hot water. On my last visit, and I do mean last visit, they put in a policy of charging for room guests that arrived after 7pm. When they added the joiners fee that is when I stopped considering them for a stay. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g293916-d1151728-Reviews-The_Regent_Silom_Hotel-Bangkok.html

You have access, but I would feel strange leaving the garden area with a towel and shower kit. Crossing the small parking area and going into the main building in the single elevator to the top floor and then searching the floors for shower action. Then when I find a hot guy, trying to get them to come with me to my garden room if we can't go to his room. It's easier to just stay at the barracks.

I don't know how it is in Thailand but Debit purchases and credit card purchases are looked at differently by the banks here in the USA. If I use my Bank Debit card as a Visa, that purchase is covered by Credit Card banking laws and also comes with Visa protections. If I use that same card as a debit card and enter my pin to make a purchase, I am at the mercy of the bank to protect me against fraud and I have to wait for their decision to refund my money for the fraud or to deny my fraud claim.

Try using their support section. http://www.boytoy.com/boytoy-contact-us

They also have the Garden Suites which are separate from the main baracks building. I stayed there once and loved the room but I hated being away from the baracks where all the fun was once the bars closed.

Try staying at Babylon Bed & Breakfast. When you stay there you also get 2 free passes to the sauna along with free breakfast. http://www.babylonbangkok.com/ The other benefit of staying at Babylon is the possibility of meeting other guys for sex while staying there. If you just stay in your room then your not going to meet others, but if you use the shared showers and hang out in the common area; you are likely to meet others. You can also use your phone app's to meet other guys staying at or around Babylon. How wild can it get at Babylon? Picture it... Its several years ago. George Bush is in office and Michael Jackson is dangling Blanket out the window. I'm on the internet talking to a sexy Thai guy and invited him to go to Pattaya with me when I arrive in Thailand. I'm at Babylon and all the rooms on my floor seem to be occupied. I meet a guy from Phuket there on holiday with his friend and we go to my room for sex. Later on that night I meet another guy while in the shower and we have some fun in his room. I go out to the bars and finish the night at DJ station. I return to the room with a guy from DJ, We have fun and he stays in bed while I go shower. While in the shower a very attractive thai guy approaches me from behind and begins to tough me. I turn my head and look at him and find him very attractive, then I notice the Farang guy with him standing at the shower entrance. He was not my type so I ignored the Thai guy touching me. His friend whispered for him to leave with him so I finished my shower and returned to the room. In the morning, my DJ friend went to the shower and when he came back he told me a Farang guy sucked his cock in the shower. When he left my online friend arrived. We messed around a little and he went to the shower to change and was gone almost 40 mintues. When he came back he told me he met a Thai guy and he fucked him in the shower and then in the toilet stall. I asked why they didn't go to his room or my room and he told me that it just happend that way and the Thai guy had a Farang in his room. I have stayed there other times and it was not as wild as that night but I have never regretted staying there.

You're going to LOVE it over there! http://www.boytoy.com/forums/

I like Sawatdee, but it seemed as if many of my posts there turned into a fight and I have grown tired of internet fights. I don't argue and fight in "Real" life so I don't want to do it on-line on forums. I read Gaybutton. There are often good topics here. I tried joining a few times but it never seemed to go through. When they have a topic that makes me want to contribute, I am sure I will try to join again. I like boytoy.com forum. They have very good information about many gay destinations and I can't remember ever seeing argumentative posts there. If you ever plan to go to Brazil, that is the board you should be reading! This board? I am enjoying myself here. It has the perfect amount of activity and the topics are fresh and enteresting and the people here are friendly, helpful and not afraid to share.

My best friend has a credit card like yours. His is a pre-paid credit card that he likes to use because it has Star Trek Images on it. I am 100% sure your report is genuine. I just thought it was odd that last week when I got my debit visa from my bank they decided to not emboss anything on it. All it would take is a $40 ID card printer to add phony info to the face of the card. Of course that would only be useful should anyone ask to see their ID.

Here in the USA, it depends... I can use my Visa Debit card at the WAWA gas station near my home and if I select credit purchase, it only asks for my zip code. If I go 1/2 mile to the next wawa and use the same card to make a credit purchase of gas at the pump, It takes it and I don't have to enter anything, just swipe it. Also, If I am in Washington DC and want to buy a Metro Card, I just swipe the Visa Debit card and the machine will spit out the Metro Card. Often thieves will steal credit cards and buy many $50 metro cards with it and sell the cards for half price. I'm sure thieves now know that if they get lucky enough to get their hands on a credit card, they know to also try to get the zip code of the owner and hope that it works for the card.

I don't know if this is a new thing or not, but I just got my new Visa Bankcard from my bank here in the USA. Nothing is embossd on the card. Everything -- the credit card number and my name -- is printed on the card.. Another thing with my Citi and Chase Credit cards here in the USA. If I swipe my card for a purchase less than $25 USD, the charge often goes through without requiring my signature on the signature pad. I like the speed of the purchase but fear it will be easy for fraud to happen. The one good thing is that the laws in the USA only makes me liable for the first $50 of any credit card fraud and the banks often waive that $50. When my American Express was used to buy $4000 in car parts in Japan, I didn't care because I knew I would not have to pay a single penny of that theft. (I used my card at the airport in Tokyo and I assume that is where the card was either skimmed or photographed or something). In Thailand, I often read news articles where people are begging their bank to take responsibility for the fraud they had to endure. I don't know if the banks are under any obligation to do so.

Ryan, if you have his phone number, you can probably still contact him using line or whatsapp. As far as being blocked on Planetromeo, I have 5 different log-on names on Planet romeo. If I am blocked on one name I use a different name to view their profile. Some members of these forums have me blocked from their Planet Romeo profiles. I didn't know it until I was swiping through Planet Romeo and found that I was blocked by a stranger. I used another account to see who was blocking me and found it was a fellow board member. If you should ever want to track someone down in Thailand, It is not too difficult if you ever feel it is worth the effort. I'm sorry for your loss. I was in your shoes.

We all have our ways of doing the same thing when it comes to offing staff from a bar. Some of us will establish how much money the guy wants for a tip before leaving the bar, and some of you have said you just pay the established rate try to stand your ground if more is requested. I hope this poll will give us an Idea which approach is used most by the members here. Happy voting!
