I wish I could comprehend of what fuss is all about but being stupid seems to be working for me

how the hell you know what I'm doing?

Now they added new part 15 called intriguingly "Jurassic Porn"

and here is a judgement - you are good person. who you think we are? Thank you for a tip about bus from DMK and ticket top-up trick at destination . I'm surprised DMK taxis are so expensive, are you sure they did not try to milk you out? Don't be afraid being accused to advertise , if you like place tell us here, I second your opinion about Tarntawan being welcoming and non-judgmental place, I like treating myself to stay there for 2 nights on most trips and being more accustomed to places like Malaysia or Om Yim and the likes I treat it as ultimate luxury. Nothing wrong with your story telling abilities , give yourself a credit.

Since so far we handled this controversy in civilized way let's call truce and move away from it.

Sukhotai ruins are great but this Non is the hell of handsome guy. another great report from bkkmfj , waiting for more like all us here

if there's typical Thai smile it must be one above,they should put it on the magnets and sell , I'd be first to buy

Gaybutton clearly overreacted and I wonder what nerve this abidismaili's comment below toughed ?. " Most of your guys are pensioners who have 52 weeks holiday each year, or you inherited a fortune because your parents died early and can live for many years on that fortune cheap in Thailand. Or you faked a disability which made you can not work and receive this way a monthly income from your government and live good on it in Thailand" I fail to see anything insulting here , it was not directed at anybody and only part I have objection to is 'most of you guys are pensioners" as I 'm not sure this is a case with our membership here. That pensioner has 52 weeks of vacations and every day of week is Sunday is plain truth I heard from my grandmother back in 1970ties. Nobody says that those vacations must be particularly pleasant and one should go to the church daily, after all people are getting diseases or being shot on vacations too. But vacations they are , one can sleep till noon and if needs three days off there's no need to kiss bosses ass and lie about aunt Edna untimely and sudden demise. What part of the above is insulting? If somebody was unlucky to lose parents and at the same time lucky enough to inherit plenty one can be only jealous but those things happen and if one is beneficiary calling him lucky may be insensitive but hardly insulting. As for fake disability claims I venture abidismaili is from The Netherlands as at one point is was well known fact that substantial percentage of workforce there claimed back injury and extracted dole for that, it was well known fact band he clearly says 'in my country'. If you talk to farangs in cheaper digs in SE Asia you will meet those types but if you live in the condo or stay in Hiltons you may be insulated from them. Difference between North America and Europe is that Americans have bigger houses and cars, Europeans have bigger vacations, jealousy can go both ways depending on personal preferences. Nobody imputed that pensioners should be ashamed of, yes they earned it by working long hours over long years but next time you go to an institution and will be served by rude, slow and incompetent / I'm just looking in the mirror / employee think that in several years that asshole will be pensioned and crying how hard he or she used to work for such a meager benefit. No need for abidismaili to be so apologetic and I give him credit for trying to maintain peace on the forum but I don think pensioners deserved more respect that pupils , students and working people. We all deserve respect in the equal measure. After all somebody who spend honest life working hard, spending wisely, voting smart and staying sober in later years can more nasty and menacing as lazy spender always drunk, on the dole whole life. If one doubts just remember what you felt when news about Aunt Edna death reached you. Still few years for me to those 52 week vacations with 7 Sundays week but only few thanks God.

my preferred way of dealing with abusive and insulting posters would be throwing even more abuse and insults back at them but I realize this would lead to my speedy termination. I hope Cedric will resume posting , not that I agree with his assessment of Bangkok taxi situation. I found his assertions on the taxi subject so close to fantasy that I was hoping next installment will include story about snow storm at Ekkamai last Songkran or so.

welcome to the forum ! do not forget about us and report your impressions and adventures

it would be dangerous loss of face for the boy in front of his bar friends,I'd be in losing position like going into kicking competition with the horse. He is nice guy, one of those who you ask if they kiss as answer they just kiss you sweetly, forgiven but not forgotten

it's very hard to rip off penny pinching backpacker, what it would net in such a case? 500 baht request after ten is not for a ride for sure, BJ perhaps ?, I had driver picking me up from Suriwong across the soi Twilight at 1a.m. to Om Yim but he said in no uncertain terms " 500, I go room you?"

I know but I have a good heart anyways

To bring somebody for vacation you need to know that person very, very well. Like firecat I wouldn't worry about possible theft but having somebody as constant companion can be taxing at times and I don't mean money or goods. On another hand showing him your own country can be very entertaining and eye opening to you as we locals often overlook interesting sights in our backyard. My advice to anybody contemplating such a move would be to take guy off bar for 3-4 days and see how it works for both of you

what kind of talk is that? this is how you talk to people? averaging currency fluctuations is smart idea though, this is how I gather my vacation funds - but 100 USD or 100 euro every paycheque

May be he was one of those straights who will bottom for a guy, in true sense 'gay for pay"? His statement was off putting but if I truly liked a guy I'd give him a chance

I could see four reasons - management order / my 'competitor" seemed to be well known in the bar/ or other guy pays much more that we agreed upon or simply boy liked other guy more than me for this or that reason or they had already an appointment and other guy did not show up so boy decided to go with any willing farang / me / and than his appointment showed up so he abandoned me. I was pissed off but on another hand did not see reason to get THAT upset having access to equally attractive body at the hotel. Yes you are right this was wrong for him to do and possibly unheard of but I saw it as still better outcome than boys promising long time and trying to leave after 1 hr - this is NO, NO for me and reason to place on NEVER AGAIN list. I rather be pissed off than cheated I guess. Reason I did not chalk guy off is his smile and a body, those are things I go to bar to enjoy, not to get even. But probably I should follow your advice and cross him out - we will see next trip.

not just possible, it happened full story in my May 2015 trip report, day 7 http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/9953-may-2015-in-bangkok-and-pattaya-trip-report/page-2 As I said in report I'm not even upset,chalked if off to experience, bought him a drink few days later and may even off him in the future. Yes, he knew how much he will get and it was to be more than I ever paid for any off.

extorting money from newcomers is age old and world wide phenomena and very few places world over are free from this disease. I don't even think Bangkok is particularly bad in this respect. It's why many cities are actually mandating flat rates from the airport to prevent tourists being skinned alive by taxi drivers As for limited budget - I always thought that travelers on limited budget don't even contemplate taking taxi unless all other options are non existing. They are waiting for the bus/train.

I'm glad that is the case , bars should be taking care of their employees and not force then to take any occasional loony which may show at the door .After all we don't know whom we are taking to the room but also boys are taking great risk going with strangers. Although on personal level I'm not happy with your explanation due to incident I had at Tawan in May when after arrangement was sealed off all of the sudden boy announced that he must go with another customer. I was hoping his excuse was management pressure, now in view of what you said it looks he had greener pastures in mind. As for freelancers - it explains why sometimes when arranging subsequent visits with the offed guys they insist to give them off money so they will pay bar fines themselves ,even offering discount. Most likely they are pocketing money and simply not showing at the bar for work that night. Not a difference viewing from my pocket though.

yes , but not just you

is not easy to be pioneer I guess . In view of what happened to Australian baby with Down syndrome , story mentioned at end of article, I'm not surprised Thai government banned practice. In one day we will have international convention regulating issue but now each side of surrogacy seem to be at mercy of other

1. preparing for a trip and searching for an information can be as much fun as trip itself so I wouldn't make it too easy for prospective travelers depriving them part of pleasure, search feature works very well here 2. no joking , your drink and feast of chicken with cashew nuts is on me when we meet, you have it in writing here. Don't worry about fighting over the same man, I'm not competitive. I visited quite a few bars and massage places on couple of occasions with one our of members with the same taste and not even once we liked exactly the same guy, there's always something to make for tiny difference so peace is guaranteed. By the way those tours with other members are highlight of trip for me and always fun to find face behind the posts so we will figure something out to co-ordinate trip timing.

I think in some places they may be pressed by management to go with any client, it why I always look for smile or at least eye contact to make sure he has some real or well faked interest in me.

traffic yes but taxis? You must have a bad luck with them, use BTS , MRT and express boats, don't tempt bad luck
