Reading these posts reminded me of a time, when returning from BKK, at US immigration said to the guy in front of me....why so many trips to Thailand,....and the obvious queen said "every now and then I want to feel like a Kennedy"....the look on the agents face was hysterical.

In Cuba , they are super strict about registering whoever stays with you overnight...some even with an afternoon "visitor", depedning on the owner and the noisy/jealous neighbors. The difference, the government tracks these things....if a guy is flagged as being a "guest" very often in a hotel or casa particular, they are called in for questioning or picked up for being a prostitute.....

He must've thought, what kind of gringo did I get that thinks 80 is expensive, he must be a friend of floridarob..... lol

you're full of good news today.....😲

Which part of Manila would you recommend to stay in, where is closer to more action....or is another city better, like Cebu?

When is your next trip back....?

many people that just couldn't bring themselves to vote for her, are hopefully realizing the mess they helped put the country in....

for twinks, this I can believe 😉

I have..... A LOT! It's comical considering what the people saying it look like, smh

Or stand on a go-go stage and listen to the comments about how chubby, ugly, queeny, etc....you are 😲

Showing your age ....maybe some early bird specials might be in order 😉

Get over it ....move on and follow your own advice.

Great post, I felt like I was there.....I've been there before, but no real desire to go back....Everyone I met (working) spend most of their time in Jomtien working.....Heart of Darkness I really enjoyed. Too bad no murder massage guy photos to see 😉

is one better than the other....?

I stayed there once when Tarntawan was full....I commented to my friends that it is a VERY basic hotel. I would stay there again if nothing else was available. That was when at least Babylon was in the area and I could justify it. Their coffee shop is to me what Foodland is to Vinapu, I love their menu and food. But their rooms remind me of military barracks a little. What don't you like about Tarntawan that you'd be willing to go to Malaysia ....what about Furama, seems like it's gotten good reviews here...?

Wallet isn't too thin then 😝

See where is the highlighted circle....click on "Mexico in content titles only"

Mattresses were changed in stages, but I never remember them having cement bases

Since COVID, it's moved across the street...?

Only during breakfast hours now..... I have friends that only stay at Four Seasons and Waldorf and wouldn't think of the Meridien or heaven forbid a Crowne PLaza....... Ohhhh, there are MUCH cheaper places, if money was the only objective 😲 I don't recall cement beds at the Tarntawan....

Just a search of Mexico that show up in the titles, there are 3 pages....the word Mexico shows up over 1,000 times.

Did you seriously not even try to look for threads about Mexico??? You've spent more time crying about people being unfair instead of spending that time to research. You joined Sunday, yet you know an awful lot of history ....except that of Mexico.....weird. Let us know if you need any info on Thailand too.....might be hard to find.

Wasn't it across from where Tawan is....? Used the wayback machine to look at DreadedNed from back then, just to back up my memories. Was one of my go to bars at the time 😉 https://web.archive.org/web/20000613042411/http://dreadedned.com/source/venue/bkk/bkk-mssp.htm

Google maps shows they have moved: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Madrid/@13.7237756,100.5169888,16z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x23a31623564121e8!8m2!3d13.7235557!4d100.5175289

Price difference? I worked as a hotel GM for a big part of my life, I can't justify the price difference. I still get rate benefits at Hilton, yet they're too far away from the "scene". The Tarntawan has always provided a decent experience, even when they were at 50usd a night. But at 20-25usd w/b'fast, I can't see my way to spend more than that....I had a friend stay at Meridien and I visited, very nice staff and rooms but not to pay 125usd or more a night....as Tomcal would say "you know how many guys that is?"
