given your hotel hopping and praise for the Classroom I looked it up on booking.com and yes, it looks ok, BUT the - uhm -  artwork on the wall is a bit questionable for our tastes haha ;-)

Andy, that is a simple task to move that fugly poster out of sight ... put it behind that longer curtains...

From the pic, it does look better than Nantra Silom!

All budget hotels should use tiles, and avoid wooden flooring and even carpet as it tends to get mouldy and smelly without proper care

nothing shocking with that poster , after all Classrooms is located above and in fact part of girl bar.

 

I don't even remember what I had on the wall , mostly because I was occupied with three dimensional  male specimens I had there with me in flesh.

 

Room  pictured above is without balcony , add few dollars and  you will have even more space.

 

Utility mirror in front of bed is plainly visible, LOL

 

Tiles are not only better to keep clean but also to keep feet cool - I like to walk barefoot inside.

 

With price of 50% more, sure Classrooms is better than Nantra Silom but that's comparing oranges to bananas as in Pattaya hotels are even better value for money than  in Bangkok  but Pattaya Bangkok is not.

 

I like Classrooms very much and can recommend to everybody although it was small glitch - my room was not cleaned after first night, not that we left much of mess but it forced me to go to reception and ask for fresh towels. On another hand my 40 baht tip I left under the pillow went uncollected so I pocketed it back.

  Tip under the pillow for the room cleaning.  Did you give any tip for the fresh towels?  

 

 

No, i just went  downstairs to the bar where reception is and told them I don't need room cleaned  but want new towels.

 

Was told that cleaner went home already but somebody will exchange old towels for new, I sensed that they weren't happy with me pestering them so tip was out of question, no apologies, nothing. This part I did not like but just shrugged it off, perhaps it was their way to cover embarrassment ? Anyways no big deal.  

 

In general I always leave 30-40 baht tip in the morning  under pillow as long as I stay in the room another night. On the morning of departure I tip nothing since I'm not using room anymore and if I left something tip wouldn't go necessary to cleaner , rather to person who is checking minibar on leaving room.

I follow the same system of leaving a tip each day in an area that is to be cleaned.  I do it as the cleaners often change and want to tip the one who cleans.  Also definitely agree that the tip can disappear when the final room check is done...

Vinapu - I sent in a  nomination to the Pattaya Chamber of Commercen suggesting you be made an honorary member for advocating the pleasures and joys of Pattaya!

thank you but considering that I'm not big fan of Pattaya in comparison with Bangkok I have my doubts it's honor I deserve.

Fact is this was first trip ever when I spent more time in Pattaya - 8 nights vs. 5 nights in Bangkok. Credit should go to Pattaya's boys and their  charms

I always enjoy reading your posts and your descriptions of your adventures but best of all I have again enjoyed your great company on the times we have met up and socialised in Pattaya.

 

I hope we get the chance to have many future such meetings

#5 is really impressive so I was wondering if # 44 just changed number to #5, LOL

 

It looks I was not specific enough in my report above. Yes long time with Boonthoon on day 10 and with Phet on day 11 ( to be announced shortly )

Fully agree with you that chemistry is important!

specially when we off boy long time we need to watch for sign of interest , it's why I always advocate making sure boy smiles at us.

 

Perhaps  my most cherished memory  of Thai boy adventures is not from bar, hotel room or massage, it's from walk from Tawan bar with one of their boys to my room when he was visibly happy he landed my contract.

I know why , it was his first off after long absence from bar but nevertheless it was extremely pleasant experience for me even before we hit the sheets.

Absolutely.

 

If a guy walks slightly ahead or slightly behind me, he's trying to create distance between us and that doesn't bode well for what follows. But if he walks at my side and carries on a conversation--regardless of language discrepancy--I feel that he respects me and doesn't fear being seen with me.

 

It also tells me something else about him: he doesn't lack self confidence and has a good self-image. Guys like that are almost always fun to spend time with.

I on the other hand prefer my current companion to walk 10 centimetres ahead or behind me. Holding hands and clinging to the elbow is so yesterday. But of course I've seen boys dutifully steadying the gaits of their inebriated customers as part of their social etiquette and responsibility.

I'm not so sure, guys full of self confidence tend to steer encounter to their liking not mine. Happen rarely but it does and I wonder then who is in charge of agenda.

 

It's why I like straights, they usually are in business for money and tend to stick to their side of bargain. Stars are good to look at in the bar but often due to their popularity  tend to skip on services and , what is important to me, on time as well.

 

Exception worth mentioning  is    Mekhin , former star of Tawan , now at Jupiter  who was surprisingly amendable and easy going and that is impression few others had about him as well.

 

As for walks I tend to be liberal and understand that sometimes boys don't really want to be seen   with farang  age of their grandfather. 

 

Another memorable walk mention already in my reports was  with another Tawan boy who asked to go to Raya on another side of Suriowong. On his way he was stopped by at least 3 if not 5 people for a brief chat so I kind of understood why.

Your baht is there in your wallet to use to your advantage to get what you want, who you want, and when you want.

 

I have no patience with those who say, you shouldn't pay more than this, or you shouldn't pay more than that.

 

We each save hard to the best of our abilities to enable us to enjoy to the full a happy and memorable holiday.

 

As I have said before, vinapu, I like your style! LOL

Agreed
