Or stay at the Raya which puts you at the entrance of Twilight and many massage places within a 2minute walk.

Apartment would be biggest expense. I pay $1000 a month for my condo. But it has everything and includes everything. ((Elec.wifi,cable,). The location has to do with price. Can walk to public transportation around corner. Everything in a couple of blocks. I have a good friend that lives just across the river and pays about $500 for a modern condo. He pays electricity. It’s all a location thing. I’m home in bed before he gets home. I just would rather pay more for convenience. Everything else is probably close to half the price of the US. Lots depends on your spending habits. You can still go out for a $100 dinner or you can still eat ok for $3.

Not to worry, Firecat is fine. Spending the summer it’s lots of travel.

I’ll side with Vinapu. If I’m flying 10,000 miles, I’m not going to sit with a calculator deciding what’s a good deal or not. You say your not going to pay outrageous prices. How do you determine what is outrageous? I hardly find 4000 outrageous. I know many forum members. There are some that every penny counts. But there are many that costs aren’t an issue. We all have guidelines, but they shouldn’t be hard and fast if your in Thailand to have a good time.

Boy69, where do you get your statistics that MOST clients rip off and hurt their boys ? There is always a bad apple on both sides, but I’m willing to bet the percentage is on the lower side.

Many of us are willing to pay for what we want, and some aren’t. No right or wrong.

I spend 6 months a year in Bangkok. Yes, I have been priced out of escort scene in the US since I retired . Twilight in Bangkok is still my first choice for places to hang out, and there prices have jumped. But there are plenty of other places in Thailand where prices are still very low. Your right about massage places being the best bargain. Prices for everything go up, Thailand is no different. You can still enjoy an evening of fun for $30-$50.

February is the middle of the high season. Lots going on, great weather . Lots of us regulars usually there. High point of year for working boys. Give us an idea of what your looking for. Not sure what you mean by splitting your time.

I use Uber almost everyday. I have a Thai SIM . I never had to set up seperate account. It works great just as if I was in the US. You shouldn’t have any problems.

im working on coming over in December for a couple of weeks. This time I’ll come get you and drag you out

I used to stat at the Marriott all the time. Location is great. Price was right. Now you can get Airbnb’s really close to BT and Sunee and don’t need to deal with transportation at all.

Not true. Go look for yourself. Chinese do off boys. Mamasans will tell they don't off hoping you feel bad for boy. Then you will off boy.

I'll second Divinemadmans view. Boy69 you have a very negative view of most things Bangkok. I'm extremely happy with my life in Bangkok and yes it costs more than Pattaya, but I don't find it expensive.

I had a few friends that were there when it happened so heard about and was getting pictures during the situation. They heard the explosion and there was a bit of a stampede heading for the doors. They said it was difficult to breath because of the dust and fire retardant. Several boys said it will be a while before they go back.

Samebb is a good friend of mine. We talk just about everyday. He will be the first to admit that his colorful language gets him into trouble. I'll be the second to admit his language gets him into trouble. We have talked about it many times. He does live in Bangkok and spends lots of time in Pattaya. He knows many people in the bars and clubs. But several forum members question all this and then he goes off. He is also much younger than most think and relates to the boys differently than most of us. He knew he was headed for banishment and is ok with it. Yes, some of his info will be missed, but he broke the rules so that takes care of that. I'll continue to spend time hanging and talking with him, and I will continue to push him to take an etiquette class. He knows when he crosses the line with me and apologizes . But couldn't get him to apologize for going off in the forum.

I am at Twilight almost every night and see Asian customers offing boys all the time.

Your right about everybody being different. I fly half way around the world to get to Bangkok. I enjoy my time there. I'm not going to sit around for half an hour trying to calculate if I can afford an extra $2 for the experience. When nickel and diming becomes an issue, I'll stop coming to Thailand.

Not as much as we get tired of reading your posts.

That hasn't changed. Been hanging with him for about a week in Bangkok. Yesterday he headed off to Pattaya for change of scenery.

I wasn't out and about much last night. I had a prearranged meetup with a boy from X-Boys. Stopped by and picked him up then back to my condo. This was a short trip for you. I'm glad you covered about everything. Hope you had a great time and come back soon.

My evening is just winding down. I had a boy over for a couple of hours. A couple of taxis, little to eat, a couple of drinks. $75.us for the night. I know some here will find that the end of the world and others look at it as a bargain. I'm happy. If you want to use the Aps you can have a $30 dollar a session. So much of it comes down to what your needs are. For those who follow the Latin forum, Florida Rob is in Bangkok now. We went to one gogo tonight and he negotiated the prices down.. Using all his experiences from Mexico.

I had the pleasure of seeing Jason in action last night as he quickly moved from location to location. I was sitting at Maxi's and he would wave or stop for a quick hi on his way by. I got to thinking that if Vinapu and Jason were in town at the same time we might need an express lane down Twilight. These two gentlemen get more out of an evening than anyone I've ever met.

Soi Twilight had a full house last night, so some people enjoy it, myself included. Prices are creeping up but isn't that part of life in general. Not much gets cheaper. FreshBoys, X-Sise, X-Boys still have full fuck shows. Hot Male just did a bit of renovation and are doing some different shows. When I take a boy home tonight it will still cost 25% of what it would cost in most US cities. While I don't totally disagree with you that there has been some changes, there is still lots of fun to be had. I was surprised to see how many Americans are in town this week. The most I have noticed in a couple of years.

No....

Jason it was great to run into you tonight. Someday hopefully you will get a longer stay in Bangkok so you can sit and relax for a few minutes. You certainly account every minute your there with fun. I'll probably be in the same place tomorrow so maybe can say hi again. I'm glad you got the locker room view at Jupiter. Four of us went Friday night and had that view. It was as much fun as show on stage.
