A case of the pot calling the kettle black.

My recent arrival experience was much different than above. Had a long walk to Immigration and although not in Biz Class I was second in line and through Immigration in few minutes. No need to provide mobile number and no one was screened by Customs at exit. My arrival was at 11:00 pm.

I don't often drink water, but when I do it turns into wine! I agree about the benefits of weight training and rare that I have been injured. As others mentioned places like Tony's gym are marginal equipment wise. There is another gym in Jomtien that look decent, at first,, but the equipment is junk. Also no locker room . It is mostly for convenience of guests at the hotel. Too best of my knowledge, in Pattaya, the only decent gym is at the Marriott Hotel but too many clients like to hang on equipment and chat with each other. Mostly an older crowd. Cost is about 40,000 TB/year unrestricted or 20,000 TB for a 3day/week limit. Tony's gym 12,000/12 months at present. I did see another gym on Soi Buakaho and it was not Tonys so may look at that. No doubt many gyms in Bangkok.

I don't often say in hotels but when I do the maid tips me.

I don't often off a boy but ,when I do, they pay me.

I don't often go to the gym, but when I do the trainers pay me. Unfortunately in Pattaya there are few choices. Tony's Gym which has poor locker rooms and poor AC and marginal equipment. The Mariott Hotel has a good gym but expensive.

My first impression when there first time in Nov 2013 was plenty of sad and lonely old farangs wandering or sitting aimlessly. vinapu, first impressions can be misleading; haven't you heard of the "walking dead" ? Those are who you likely saw, not the lively gay blades and blokes who saunter the sois of Sunee, Boyztown and Jomtien .

When you say Thai wine, do you mean wine that is made from grapes grown in Thailand? Or do you mean wine that is sold in most bars (Mont Clair, made in S. Africa) ? Thai wine is usually awful and S. Africa wine barely drinkable but little choice. So that was you walking down the soi in Sunee with that cute boy last night. A tall gentleman or maybe because he was so short. And you didn't look old at all, not like the rest of us sad and lonely old farang as described by vinapu.

Oh, what a low blow, vinapu! For me, give me Pattaya or give me death. Bangkok was fun on my first couple of visits 15 years ago but now Pattaya is number one. But, sadly, Pattaya is not same same as in bad old days.

When I arrived at Sunny only two boys dancing and one other customer. So I chose the one cute boy for a drink who was 19 so same same boy? Tipped him well so maybe he had a decent night in tips.

As I recall it was beginning of Nov in 2014.

I just wanted to provide info to the OP, brall3, so he could munch on one of those corn dogs without fear of infection or disease.

One bottle of wine.

Well, since you ask! The surgeon degloves the shaft of the penis by removing all the skin up to the glans. Then utilizes a flap of the skin from the scrotum which is then used to re-glove the penis! And stitches it all up like a baseball. Quite clever. All depending on how hairy the scrotum, the penis may be more hairy than previous.. Of course, the result is a circumcised penis which may be more or less appealing.? Apparently this procedure is far superior to grafting skin from another part of the body. For the squeamish, here is an image of a de-gloved finger but not much different than a penis.

Well, since you ask, I read about this on another forum. So, out of curiosity, I did some internet research to learn more about this condition and treatment. Once a material such as silicone, mineral oil, etc, is injected into the skin it perfuses into the surrounding tissue and forms a clump or lump. It then cannot be "sucked" out and must be excised. Somewhat like peeling a banana and once the banana is peeled the tricky part is how to replace the banana's skin.Some Thai surgeon found a clever way of doing that. Wanna know more?

The small lumps are known as "mooks", a sort of pellet that is inserted under the skin supposedly to increase sexual pleasure. These can easily be removed. The other condition you speak of is a result of injection of silicone or other substance into the skin ( penile paraffinoma) to increase the size of the penis. Often done when drunk either by self injection or by a friend. I suppose it can make for kinky sex? They have been around for years but hopefully, this practice will someday cease. But not easily removed! Surprisingly, Thailand surgeons did develop a simple by gruesome procedure to excise the foreign material and repair the damage.

After re-reading the above I believe you are referring to age and not money? In that case, I retired at 53.

Quite common for men past 60 or 70 to enjoy the pleasures of love at least in Thailand. Money and perhaps Viagra play a role in the game of love.

40s, 50s, what? Baht, Pounds, Euros, Dollars? ???

Put in your checked luggage? I often bring boxes of condoms for a "big" friend which are cheaper and better than in Thailand, oh, and bigger.

] Je regrette, mais je ne suis pas Quebecois. Even had to look up "habs", les habitants. My only sporting activity in Montreal was the dance with no pants.

Most of my binging was done in Montreal where costs were higher than Thailand. Now age and an empty purse has turned my retirement into dieting with an occasional sweetmeat or sugarplum to quell my lust.

I retired early with no regrets about that decision but went on a boy binge for many of those years which was costly.

Quite the opposite. The airline,Air France/Delta made no effort to advise anyone of their rights, and, in effect, told them to "fuck off" in the case of Air France/Delta. Which is reason for me to appeal my claim via European Courts.

300 Baht is fair; no reason to try to negotiate for less and be exploitative.
