OR a 40 minute "moan" if you picked the wrong Soit 4 local Thai companion to bring back and you decided to walk it as you fancied a wee "dander" in the night air before bed and he cried all the way back with you about "OMG, why you no not get us a motobike, your hotel too far for walking, how much further o your hotel anyway - as I never been there yet so I dont know it !!" Yeah RIGHT SURE you haven't ! lol Olddaddy, vaughn, splinter1949 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one who don't like it and find it embarrassing. It's why I rarely stay in Tarntawan where once I got a visit from two forum member in daytime , just for gossip and coffee. One Philippine, another Oriental looking American. Both were asked for their ID which we found funny. I understand security concerns by some but whoring is for adventurous , not for chickens. 18past19 and vaughn 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can only afford normal room and not the suite! don't worry and treat yourself. Every second of my 30+ Thai trips were "I can't afford it" type and somehow I managed to fund them and scores of boys in process.

It's usually a case in hotels of every level, if one books room for two and deal comes with breakfast , breakfast is also for two. On my recent trip bkkmfj and me stay in Raya but his deal was breakfasty and mine not so one morning he invited me to utilize his 2nd breakfast offer. I second comment about need to be careful when inviting boys for meal or trip and look for signs they may feel uncomfortable. Some of us may not like those stares by other guests either, although when I notice those I audaciously blink my eye toward these nosy guests and it does the trick , at times even generating smile, no doubt out of satisfaction that their suspitions proved right, lol Olddaddy, Marc in Calif, vaughn and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this include having breakfast at UNESCO Heritage (Patpong) ? I was fascinated by the idea that you go there for breakfast with your fresh catch from the night before and then you see all of the other farangs doing the same - and then you can have an opportunity to "off" one of the other guys - thus bypassing the minimum drink requirement, off fee to the bar, etc. But does an off fee need to be paid to the farang for taking his guy (of course after their business is concluded) ? hahahahaha 18past19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were already back there 😛 I always book a room for 2 people, RARELY is there a price difference and it saves the headache of visitors coming or eating. When I'm at the Tarntawan, if I'm alone at breakfast, I order 2, one American b'fast and 1 friend rice, it's not that big... At Hilton properties in the US, you get a per person food credit with status...I book 2 people and when alone, I can use the credit of 2 people.

At any time of day or night there's chance we spot either familar or handsome or both, face dining there alone or most often , with company. Also it pays to pay attention to passersby's as it may be chance to see somebody we know. (As we know from last trip - not necessarily blessing though ). While your idea is catchy , execution would be somewhat rude so better no to do it. Boy sitting with his farang is his companion and his only the same way like boy sitting with us is our companion and our only. It would be very bad form to try to pry attractive or familiar boy from his current sitter with. And I would not tolerate if somebody would approach boy I'm sitting with and try to arrange for anything else than handshake. But opportunity is still present if handled decently, been there , done that. One can simply try to outwait them as often after the meal parties are parting way, then it's free game , just one needs to be brave and fast. On few occasions thoughtful farang seeing that his boy sees somebody familiar can even prod him to go and say hallo to him. Happened to me in both capacities i.e. guy came to me to say hallo obviously with blessing from his farang and also I , seeing boy exchanging smiles with somebody, suggested he will go and say hallo if he wants. The same may happen in bars. We buy a drink for the boy and suddenly somebody is inviting him for a drink. If boy asks for permission , I usually agree for say 10-15 minutes break. If he leaves me on his own, his drink still half full, that's the surest way to be removed from my offing roster fort at least few trips. Certain P and A , on different occasions learned it to their peril because on next attempt to extract an off from me I in no uncertain terms told them it won't happen and why. reader, floridarob, 18past19 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The temptation to visit the same breakfast section the guy was at to try to discretely ask for a Line contact has been there, but I agree with Vinapu, it's poor form. I wouldn't like it done to me, so I wouldn't do it to another. If you see him leaving the hotel alone I'd consider it fair game, but while it's someone else's turn, best to let them enjoy their time and leave it alone. You never know if they have a LLT/bf arrangement or if the farang might have an emotional attachment that could cause him to become upset by it. vinapu, Patanawet and floridarob 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall at least two similar situation. Once three us members arranged trip to Mahanakhon, two of us including myself were with boys. I actually discretely asked other boy if he would be interested in meeting, he happily confirmed and we met after member who brought him went back home. He was loyally informed by me about my plans and was fine with that. Other case was again on Mahanakhon , I invited another boy to go with me and one of members also tagged on. When I noticed they exchanged glances again and again I informed other member that boy was invited only to Mahanakhon trip and after that he is liberated from my company so he can grab him if he wishes.

jason1975 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I spotted one of @vinapu favourite guys having breakfast with farang customer at Le Meridien breakfast. I secretly took a photograph and sent it to @vinapu! I was tempted to say hi to the guy but I decided not to disturb their breakfast. I doubt he would recognise me. @vinapu had introduced him to me when he passed us by a year ago. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
