Would it have to come with replaceable penis' .... wouldn't you get bored of the same one after awhile? Maybe even some different heads to change as well.... How many neglected sex toys you have in your closet (or wherever).... Not that I'd know anything about something like that

I doubt that you're the first one doing that, nor the last....

As someone here famously said.... Just Go!

Except you, apparently He needs it for more important stuff, like his faucets and expensive 1 nt hotel escapades. Now that the legalese is out of the way, can't have any lawsuits.... Does that include 2 old queens bickering? In case you've never met olddaddy, those are some big hairy cheeks Best comment 😆 Yet I doubt that will happen. Easy mistake. One does lose track when the character keeps changing. 3 years, Feels like an eternity. Some people mute trolls. Others bring marshmallows. Which are you? I'm just waking up, look at all the action I missed.... Like @vinapu said more or less, tell that to Trump.... who by the way I hope doesn't fuck up my trip to Colombia the end of the month 🤬 Ok, everyone back to your corners and rest.

Is that the same as asking if you can invite a friend over, since I don't do long time/overnights? I usually phrase it as , I'm been here many times and have a friend over to have a couple of drinks before going to dinner, I assure them that it's not a party situation with no loud music or anything. It's usually replied with, no problem, don't exceed the number of guests permitted.... as long as they leave ID with security.... not past 11pm..... or flat out no guests allowed, something like that.

Considering we have the same type.....🤷‍♂️ The vague “a forum member” thing comes off like high school girls whispering names, especially when our forum names are already masked. BTW, my name isn’t really Florida. And in the one or two so-called “surprise” cases, it’s better not to mention “forum member” at all. It just makes it sound like some awkward little secret club.🙄

You don't carry a blow up one that you use on your flight in row 50?

See @vinapu, THAT'S what the pillows are there for 😉

And btw, that's what the pillows are for 🤷‍♂️

Sucking and kissing, too gay 🤷‍♂️ I tell who I take off or go with, not to worry, I like ugly guys.... the look on their face when it registers then after they get I'm joking, they laugh 😝

Is this to protect identities too....I don't get it? If they don't want to be mentioned, not sure for what reason, just say met a friend, or you were with your niece 🤷‍♂️

It's tradition

I prefer not to get a room you used previously as well...😝

I'm surprised when they're not!

a bit?

When you’ve got rooms at your disposal, guests with “friends” suddenly have somewhere to go… and so do I. The Do Not Disturb sign wasn't the prize, what went on inside was....🤐

It's not as straight forward and easy as say Brasil..... but some people like the chase/danger lol

Unless you’ve already slept with them and they’re watching you bring someone else back. Or they want to sleep with you. Or they messaged you on Grindr. Or they know someone you’ve been with. Pattaya runs on sex, gay and straight. That doesn’t eliminate jealousy, whether real or feigned. It just makes it more passive-aggressive. 🤷‍♂️

There are so many variables at play. First, hotel philosophy. Some hotels would rather let rooms sit empty than dilute their pricing and brand positioning. Others, like me when I was running hotels, were very much “heads in beds.” Not to be confused with getting head in bed. That often meant a lower ADR (average daily rate) but a higher RevPAR (revenue per available room). Different strategies, different risk tolerance. Asia, and Thailand in particular, can feel especially erratic. That probably surprises no one here. Then you have distribution strategy. Some hotels have exclusivity agreements or best-rate guarantees with specific OTAs. Others negotiate lower commissions with certain platforms. Agoda and Trip.com are generally much stronger in Asia than Expedia or Hotels.com, so inventory and pricing often skew in their favor. On top of that, hotels allocate room blocks to OTAs and wholesalers. For example, Agoda may get an allotment of 10 rooms. Once those 10 are sold, Agoda will show the hotel as sold out even if the hotel still has rooms available elsewhere. That alone explains a lot of “disappears and reappears” behavior. Hotels.com is notorious for continuing to sell beyond allotment and letting the hotel sort it out at check-in. They are essentially betting on cancellations or no-shows. If it goes wrong, they relocate the guest or refund them. It’s very similar to airline overbooking logic. They lose occasionally, but overall they stay ahead. As for pricing a 4-star above nearby 5-stars, it is not always about “hoping for stupid people.” Sometimes it’s about maintaining price integrity, pushing demand to direct bookings, rate-parity games between OTAs, or simply a revenue manager testing elasticity. Sometimes it’s also just bad revenue management. Peter is right about dynamic pricing being most sophisticated in airlines. Hotel pricing is dynamic, but far less algorithm-driven, especially once you factor in ownership structure. Using Hilton as an example, Hilton only owns or leases about 50 hotels worldwide. Roughly 800 are managed, and over 6,600 are franchised. That means thousands of independent owners making their own pricing decisions, sometimes rational, sometimes not. So yes, dynamic pricing exists. But inconsistency, allotments, OTA politics, owner psychology, and uneven revenue talent explain most of what people actually see. In your case, what you experienced with The Quarter is completely normal. You just happened to catch the pricing pendulum swinging back in your favor at the right time.

But not where it mattered 🍆 😆

and they don't cancel.... ?

I was going to say the same thing... most Hotels with revenue managers will usually will throw a rate on the room that is high enough not to sell it too cheap this far out, not only NYE but other known high occupancy nights. Then you'd need to monitor the rate to watch for its sweet spot, just like airfares..... if there's not much booking activity, they'll drop the rate for a bit to get some bookings and then raise it to where they think it needs to be, more realistically. Hotels without revenue managers, sometimes forget this and you could find a great deal with their standard rack rate because no one thought about next year yet, rates are usually loaded a year ahead by default by the system. Make sense?

Nah, you had some downvotes there from people that don't usually do that.... 🤷‍♂️

A lovely quote. Even Saki understood sequence, Timing remains undefeated, First blood still counts. 😆
