Boy69 Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 I prefer Copa too but only their supirier rooms it's worth to pay little bit more over their standard rooms.very good value for money. t0oL1 and vinapu 2 Quote
Travellerdave Posted August 2, 2023 Posted August 2, 2023 Overall I suspect for the majority of us, the cost of accommodation is a lesser expenditure item. For my trips to Thailand the cost of boys is my biggest budget, ahead of hotels, airfares, drink, food and transportation. I like to stay in lower cost hotels (in Pattaya, BT area or the Complex) but selecting the better room options. stijntje and vinapu 2 Quote

Londoner Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 For me, it's satisfying my boyfriend's insatiable desire for eating in Terminus 21. Not to mention the taxis back to JC because he's too sated to use the two buses that would get us there for 80bht. Quote
Shonen Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 My boyfriend and I go to terminal 21 or Central Festival daily. Luckily we have a free shuttle service around Beach road to and from the condo. Does he get mad if I make us late and have to take the next bus. Quote
Travellerdave Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Over the years I have found boys to be lazy when it comes to walking . Typically after offing in Sunee their reaction to the suggestion to walk to my hotel in BT would be that it’s too far and that we should go by motor bike. The same would apply to the distance from the Complex to the gay beach. Their preference is nearly always to take motor bikes or taxis rather than baht buses. Going back to the subject of this thread and thinking of my next trip in early September, any opinions as to the best gogo for twinks in Pattaya, or has the momentum shifted more towards the Complex or online (Grindr / Romeo) since I was last there 6 months ago ?.

Not that I disagree but I have impression that they are not as bad as we think. Last trip I was domesticated at Quarter SalaDaeng ( former Siri Sathorn) for 9 days, quite a walk from the scene and there was no problem walking them there or walking them from there to say Sizzler on Silom. reader, twoguysacam and Phoenixblue 3 Quote
Kiwi306 Posted August 16, 2023 Posted August 16, 2023 I really loved Quarter Saladaeng. I like the set-up of the dining room and I enjoyed very satisfying buffet breakfasts. In fact when I stayed in a hotel out of town I would sometimes make a trip there for breakfast (200 baht). It is quite a distance from the bars and I can understand that some of the boys would insist on a taxi or motorbike, to save time if nothing else. May I ask if you had to pay at the reception to take a boy back to your room? Quote

No problem whatsoever with visitors , day or night. Nobody cared. Motorbike taxi to or from Silom 20 baht but it,s not that long walk. Senso is half way. reader 1 Quote

Yes, it is an easy walk, but I ended up spending a few nights at Quarter Silom as it was a lot closer. I enjoyed both hotels. Quote

Quarter Silom has excellent location but I personally don,t like it much, rooms are small and price high. The same goes for another new hotel - Ibis Styles on Silom. Quote
