High season starts... About recommendations: I wrote already my point of view - I like to have accommodation with sea view and eye-candy view so I prefer to stay very close to beach - in Jomtien: there are about 5 gay hotels and even more gay friendly hotels, so you can choose from 600 Baht till 3000 per night...

Usually I use booking in 3 months in advance and have price from Europe to BKK about $560-610 with Emirates or Qatar Airways in low season and about $590-690 in high season. Past year I got $660 even in Christmas time with Swiss. Sometimes when I have free time I use "last minute" offers for short visits (7-12 days) if have nice offers from charter's market - it can be as low as $380 (all mentioned prices are for 2-way tickets in economy class). I just check - lowest price for now for December LHR-BKK-LHR offer Air India for $770(2-way) Dec.9 - Dec.26 via Mumbai (transfers 1.5 hours)

Even when I like "to eat meat" I prefer not stay in hotels in center of "meat market"... in fact it is the same like "Ambiance": in center of noise of bars in gay area within path of straight touristic groups ... their prices are with marketing tricks: without taxes and without breakfast...

Gentleman! Yesterday I had conversation with Ef. He asks all of you who got his service to write reference about his technique of massage and your impressions. You can do it from this page of his massage website or write here and I will send it to Ef. I think it will help Ef's business, he is good men

I have no idea why to rent bike in PTT if baht bus cost only 10 baht...If we will start to talk about Samui (for example) where bus cost 60 Baht - then it have some sense.. But in PTT for ride within city...

My point of view on this locations is opposite to your When I stay in Jomtien - I can visit beach as many times per day as I want, can to have siesta (day time sleeping), can to have nice clean shower as many times as I want, and visit (sorry) my personal and very clean WC, I can not change swimsuit before I want to visit my room, can walk out from hotel directly in swimming clothes and don't carry with me towel. And for to visit BoysTown or Sunee I will need the same bahtbus, at evening time and it will be more easy - coz they work 24 hours but by evenings and nights they aren't crowded like at day time and at this time as well no traffic jams. For example you can't have in Ambiance balcony with recliners and jacuzzi&shower, table and chairs and everything in flowers, but you can have this in Room's Club in Jomtien. Just imagine: you are laying in jacuzzi at balcony with you BF or guest, eating fruts, drinking wine and watching sunset... ah... In Bondi you will have more simple room, but still nice and clean just for 900 with balcony (again, nice seaview) and one of the best coffee from gay places in Pattaya (don't tell me about coffee in Ambiance... brrr....) In Tui's you will have excelent thai food in restaurant from early morning till late evening (what you can eat in Ambiance if you are lazy to go out?) So I prefer have once per day two-way trip to Sunee or BoysTown, than spend whole daylight-time in uncomfortable conditions just in sitting in chair at the beach...

did you mean 1200 Baht? coz price of 1114 do not include taxes... I had stays in all gay-hotels in Jomtien beach and prefer this location coz it has more nice view at day time as well 3 of 4 hotels have prices lower than Ambiance. One more advantage is after walk-out from hotel in 5 steps you are at the beach's sand. I had one stay in Ambiance and prefer Jomtien now.

Yeahh He is cute

As per my friend rainy weather still is in Cambodia. Two heavy rains for past two days overfill river in Siem Reap, water is on the streets. More images of flood in Siem Reap are in the blog of Angkorboy.

It's depends on boy... Homeless boy from beach will glad to join you even for 300 Bahts, Lao and Cambodian boys from Walking street or other "freelancers areas" will join you for 300-500-700 Bahts, Thai boys from bars will say you "up to you" but will expect 1000 Baht for short... Only cutest of bar's boy may be will pretend for more than 1000 for short time...

I'm wonder about debates... "democrats", "republicans"... Gents, USA-economic is deep in asshole. Anyone who will resolve this problem will become unpopular very soon: coz he will must cut, cut and cut everything: government's expenses to social programs, to salary for clerks, to military... to every thing... or "kill" dollar and establish something like "amero"... Look at USA-debts... No ways to be popular and at the same improve situation with jobless, and economic on knees...

I suggest Bell Service as well... if your flight will landing at 11-30, then you will have exit from custom's zone about 12-30 or even 13-00... just proceed to first floor and you will find boy with "Bell Service" plate inside building near exit #8, as well all bus-companies are there... Bell with "door to door" service is the best, but there are bus to Jomtien from another company at 13-00...

Heh... To trust in words of doorman is the same like to trust if Santa Clause...

Yesterday 787 had emergency landing in Seattle during testing flight coz of failure of GE engines... in 2010: Boeing got orders for 288 airplanes and 78 cancellation of orders Airbus got orders for 328 airplanes and 51 cancellation of orders

The same with Opera: I see loginbox only at "home" page

yes, at least 3-4 comps or even all has webcams in i-netshops... guys from Romeo ask for cams mostly coz they want to know if your profile isn't fake and you are the same age as it is mentioned in your profile...

You are right. But main word in your post is first - IF. For now even more quickly growing of RMB (yuan from China), rupiah from India and Yen from japan against Baht can easy substitute this growing of Baht against dollar and few more currencies. India, Malaysia, Japan and especially - China are much close to Thailand, travel from this countries is much cheaper than from USA or Europe. So I don't think if touristic market will sense any loosing.

May be they do good work, but I prefer opposite side of the Soi (Come In or Yaya) coz Corner don't looks cozy...

No. Main difference btw visa and extemp is: - when issue visa: officer at border can do or can don't it by his own reasons and can ask for proof like back way tickets etc... - when make extempt: officer at border must do it if you are from one of listed countries and you aren't in "black list/stop list"

even more pedantic proof: http://www.immigration.go.th/nov2004/en/base.php?page=visa And even more: + 56 countries which have agreements with Thailand: http://www.mfa.go.th/web/2482.php?id=2495

Yes, for now it sure should be like that coz in Thailand even in places where 3G exist they use different version of 3G which is based on GSM, but not on CDMA like in USA...

I forgot about BoysTown few years ago - there are nothing to do coz business in this area in generally speaking now just "uses" famous of this place and not adds any value in... Seems they think "area is famous so we can sit and earn money"... My directions in Pattaya for past 3 years are targeted to Sunee coz business there works hard to make this place more attractive and they have success on this way. I left BoysTown to japanese and chinnese hetero tourist groups. IMHO: BoysTown isn't place for relaxations anymore - it is zoo or amusement pak for straight tourists and I don't want to be "animal" or "clown" for shots of their cameras...

It depends on your nationality and\or on your first visa...

Yes they have idea step over 3G directly to 4G, coz 3G is old enough and 4G is much more faster (up to 1000Mbit/s in comp. up to 56 Mbit/s) and modern...

They do not cover first 500 Baht per accident, as well you should use your money first and clime money back in 30 days. Cost of insurance is 315 Baht for international travels "up to 10 days"
