I don't need a program to do it for me, I can skip posts I don't find interesting myself, or rather read diagonally to save time (like prolific posters with poor command of English). Also, putting someone on ignore is a recognition of DEFEAT, an inability to cope with someone in such an innocuous place as an online forum. I largely agree with that. To me, ignore means you disagree, but have run out of arguments. Of course there are people where reasonable arguments don't work, but I always first try with reason. Ignore on the forums is equivalent on blocking someone on social network, a feature that has some merit but which I use only very sparsely. In 3 years, chatting with hundreds of boys, I had to block only 2.

Pattaya would be my first choice, for price and proximity to Bangkok. I like Adam's Apple in Chiang Mai, and a recent visit to Phuket Patong was a surprise that the bars are ok (but I don't like a lot of other things about Phuket Patong, details here http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2016/12/phuket-patong-29nov2016.html) Recent visit to Taiwan Taipei saunas ok, gay hot spring great. Ubon, short for Ubon Ratchathani. Last time I was there, I didn't find anyone I would be interested on hornet in within 100 km! But from Two years ago I remember spotting many cute boys in Udon, short for Udon Ratchathani, and friends confirm. There is no explanation for this, as both towns are in Esan.

What would be the justification for different rates in different venues? The different venue is already covered in different drink price and off-fee, once you step out of the bar, all boys are the same. My underscore Christian, I know it's Christmas Eve already in Bangkok but I always thought you don't drink , even on holidays. Really? I'm of opinion that in bar all boys are the same and only when out they show or not their true colours. I mean I can't distinguish a boy from a gogo bar, a beer bar or from online when I see him in the street, and coming from a particular bar is no guaranty for performance. Although all (at least 4) boys I had from Screwboys over the course of 5 years were good, but I'm sure some day I will get a dud from there. I mean a boy from Dreamboys looks the same like a boy from Super A in the street, I can't justify paying former 2000 and latter 1000, hence I don't go to Dreamboys.

You don't mention if you have been to Thailand before. Are these 2 weeks your first time in Thailand? 2. A friend took my to Soy Twilight. I didn't like it. Being and English man, the first time I was accosted by some idiot trying to sell me boys.. I nearly punched him *out of instinct from England*. Anyone else feel the same? Nowadays yes, but the first years I came here for holiday I was quite hooked, until I realized I'm paying through the nose and some other other issues I don't like (e.g. non-offable boys) I have stuck to Hornet (the app) for the last 2 weeks. I have boys coming out of my ears. I have met 3 now. Did it all go smooth? Endless chat? Late or no show? "I don't know the way?" Unreasonable money or material requests? But are Thai boys the most passionate amazing lovers you have ever found? My experiences with Thai boys range from poor to good, with the majority so-so. Whereas with more than 10 Cambodian boys (most of them in Thailand), good experiences throughout. (Burmese positive as well, but the sample is too small. Vietnamese moneyboys in Bangkok so poor, I stopped after two. Vietnamese for free in Bangkok or Vietnam ok.)

1000 for short time, regardless where I take the boy (sunee, boystown, online, beer bars). I know some bars in boyztown are trying to push st to 1500, but I could resist so far (but I could not resist making comments to staff or boy that I can get boys for 1000 in sunee, online or beer bars, in fact I make it a point telling them that I would be interested at 1000, but not at 1500). Nowadays I do long time only as an extension of short time, i.e. the short time was good and the boy shows no intention to leave, then I would tip 1200 to 1500 for lt. What would be the justification for different rates in different venues? The different venue is already covered in different drink price and off-fee, once you step out of the bar, all boys are the same. There might be superstars in some bars who demand a higher tip than average, but if it already starts like that, I can see more trouble coming up ("I don't do this, I don't do that, and I have to leave in 10 minutes").

As far as I know, there are tablets with 25 or 50 or 100 mg active ingredient sold, so you can chose which works best for you. I assume they all cost the same, and then if you find 50 mg works fine for you, buying 100 mg and splitting it in 2 saves you 50%. There are pills that are coated for delayed dissolution, this seems not to be the case with Viagra and generics (they are coated, but it doesn't seem to influence the activity). There is a joke: "Do you know what Viagra looks like from inside?" - "No." - "Neither do I. I always have to take a full pill." (Translates poorly from Germany to English; in German it assumes that the person replying "No" has to take a full pill.) Weisst Du, wie Viagra von innen aussieht? - Nein. - Ich muss auch immer eine ganze nehmen.

One reason why I don't buy Thai language travel guides is that they are split in three equal parts: what to see, where to stay, where to eat. I'm only interested in "what to see", and won't buy a book that has two third of stuff I don't care about. When traveling, I wish I could charge my stomach at a power plug instead of wasting time looking for a place to eat. As for hotels charging for WiFi (the Malaysia does), that's outrageous. An anachronism. 100 years ago houses in Paris advertised "Water/Electricity on all floors", and some of these signs survived and are now left as curiosities. I hope charging for WiFi goes the same way, soon.

You should have no problem at all. I have flown many airlines and had many extensions (for visa and visa exempt stays), only on my last trip (Taipei to Bangkok with China Airlines) was I asked for a ticket out of Thailand*. There might be two sides to this: the cost for the airline to take you back if immigration refuses entry (that can be taken care by signing an indemnity form), and the airline might get a warning? And I assume Thai immigration states "air ticket out of Thailand within 30 days of entering". *within 30 days of entering, as I had no visa. My flight home is 60 days after entering, which didn't count, even after discussing 30 days extension with airline staff. The simplest solution at that time (with a bit over 1 hour left until flight takes off) was buying a refundable flight at the airport. Now I have a China Airlines flight Bangkok to Taipei which cost me 25 kTHB, already charged to my credit card, and am in the process to cancel my booking and have the price refunded (minus processing fees). Future flights need better preparation.

Yes indeed. I like to use cotton buds for cleaning my ears, and I the best ear cleanings where better than the worst sex I had. And my last two sexual partners were sensitive to me licking and biting around and on their ears, I call it "aural sex".

If my phone is a Smartphone, do I need a different SIM card? SIM card size is the same, but you probably want data connection to use your phone as a smart phone. Nowadays, probably all SIM cards come with data connection, but my card from 2011 (?) cannot, so I bought a SIM with data in 2013. And don't forget to bring your passport, you have to register when buying a SIM.

Earlier this year I had a new filling (after unpleasant feeling where the old filling was) in Bangkok Christian Hospital. Price was about 3000 Baht, quick service, no pain, I would go there again if necessary.

The substance in poppers (butyl/amyl/pentyl nitrite) is cheap, so there is no reason to fake poppers (unless you don't have access and have to dilute it). The problem is rather that it decomposes at room temperature and should be stored in a fridge, or for longer storage freezer. I once met a boy in a sauna who was sniffing on a bottle, but it was completely decomposed, all I could smell was fusel oil (decomposition product of poppers, and found in cheap spirits and causes hangover), disgusting. Nobody ever quoted which law outlaws poppers in Thailand. Poppers, pornography, prostitution: all forbidden, but widely available and users and providers not prosecuted?

From "The Little Prince" (Original: Le Petit Prince) by Antoine de Saint Exupéry,: Il avait pris au sérieux des mots sans importance, et était devenu très malheureux. My translation: He took serious words uttered without meaning, and became very unhappy. Le langage est source de malentendus. Language is the source of misunderstandings.

If you hang around for a few years, you will notice that the same subjects are discussed over and over on all forums. Useful information is spread thin. On stickmanweekly it was once said: The forums used to be a place to get information, now you only get opinion. Many subjects could be covered in a wiki, like drink prices, but then even I can't resist from spicing up this merely numerical information ("Dream Boys Bangkok 480 Baht per drink" says it all) with a few "outragous" and "exorbitant" and recommendation to go to Pattaya instead.

I retract that. I have negotiated discounts on the drink price (Classic Boys 350 -> 250 for a party of 3), why not discounts on off-fee or short time? But it's a matter of attitude: you really have to be prepared to walk away if they don't meet your expectation. Those prices are outrageous, and they know it. Looking at customer numbers, this is a buyer's market.

Artistic license. But I had offers for blowjobs for 200 Baht in sex cinemas and have several boys who come to my room for 500 Baht.

I don't think you will get a discount. Silom Soi 6 (Super A, Nature Boys) and Screwboys. Now that Bee High closed, there are no gogo bars elsewhere. There are some Karaoke in Saphan Kwai and there is Inter-Mustache in Sukhumvit (went around 2012,2013,2014, not my style). No cruisy places. Currently there is no street trade around Saranrom and Royal Palace (too many general folk day and night). Prices in Bangkok here: http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2014/03/prices-in-bangkok-gogo-bars.html read the comments for current prices, they rise about 8% per year. I recommend skipping Bangkok and going to Pattaya for bars, much better value for money.

I did not tell them that I pay for sex, but they know I am gay and like Thai boys. I drop hints like (to a colleague in England who was eating a sandwich that had a price label of around 6 GBP): "What, you just paid 6 Pound for a sandwich? In Thailand, you can get laid for that!" He barely managed to keep the food in his mouth from laughing.

But their off-fees and short time rates are considerably higher, from reading stickmanweekly.

I guess your trips were more spectacular and if you took boys from bars, you probably paid them? In my cases, there was nothing more than a day trip to temple/museum/cinema/whatever, with me paying for food and transportation and entry. Regarding Yes/No/Maybe: http://www.armeniapedia.org/wiki/Radio_Yerevan_Jokes

I once spent almost as long on the bus from gate to airplane as for the flight DMK-PNH itself. Buses from gate to airplane and security check when changing airplane are my bane.

My underline. There are many who will argue about that. All my family, friends and work colleagues know why I'm going to Thailand. But Thai embassy or immigration asking what I'm doing in Thailand for such a long time might become a problem in the future. Then I will pull out a map of Thailand and show the 42 provinces I have been to, and tell them which temples and national parks and other attractions I went to, and where else I want to go in the future.

Is this and the OP bases on real events? I know several boys who have been taken to trips around Thailand and abroad by Farang, but I have never heard of events as in the OP. I'm sure they exist, probably the boy wouldn't post on facebook or tell others (loss of face). I got experienced by getting hurt many times (technically nothing lost, I just waited and called and messaged the boy, and finally went alone). There are far more instances where the boy said "Maybe", but meant "No", and I understood "Yes", than the other way round.

Regarding prices, there is room for negotiation (except for Screwboys 300 and Dream Boys 480 it seems). We (nowadays I don't go alone) got in for 250 or 300 baht each at Classic Boys or X-Size. From recent visits to X-Size and X-Boys, number and quality of boys ok, and shows with nudity and erections.

My bold. Now that's a money saving tip if there ever was one! (Actually I did so in discos, when it's full and you are not lead to a table by staff, you can spend your time without a drink. It never occurred to me that this might work in gogo bars.)
