to be fair I recall two situations from the last trip when I was given wrong change / 100 baht / in may favour, both times in restauranths though

this is exactly reason I prefer to pay as it goes, do not want waiters to stress themselves with excessive tally

less competition for boys perhaps for those who are still there

don't cut yourself short, no reports are boring and it's always interesting how new visitors are seeing Bangkok scene

Only bar in PTY with Bangkok style very erotic show, ahem

Fortunately boys are making up for tired ambiance, always friendly.

welcome to the forum Nicko1 and don't forget to get wet at Songkran. Can we count on some trip report from you?

Was she instrumental in Thailand getting A-Bomb in Pattaya?

you are proven right, Marie Curie / nee Sklodowska / appeared on both Polish 20000 zlotych note from 1989 and with husband Pierre on the last 500 francs French note

I like paying up front, specially in places I'm not familiar with, one less pocket to watch although it must be said loudly I never had any problems in LOS with missing things or money. In bar I pay for drinks as soon as they appear and even when off boy I offed already before on the same trip I like to point that money on the table is his morning tip, would not do it with first time off though .

like Marylin Monroe for example

he will sit in the cattle class like most of flying humanity

First they impeach crappy Prime Minister than they discover that they like their new power very much and not before long we have non-execs in power without any checks and balances, knowing everything the best. I'd rather take a cash

Old hands are lamenting downhill slide but I liked what I saw in December and bar far from collapsing as far as I'm concerned, well patronized that night and nice selection of boys, only reason I did not off any was earlier arrangement with certain axe murderer from BBB to fill that night

may be boy was trying his luck with you quoting 3000 or was on the roll. I offed one long time in Dec , wanted 2000, accepted with such a sweet smile in the morning that I forced another 500 on him. Still recall his perfect skin, like on photoshoped photos

minimum tip for the boy is collected up front. Willie is right , lots of hunks there

good for Lucky 7, when I was there just before Christmas I was only customer at 11 p.m.

count me out, water price is not and issue for me, I don't drink water at all, only animals do. Reason for water price being more upsetting than other commodities may be that most of us have ingrained somewhere deep that water is and should be free

that's the beauty of Boyztown - there's always something of interest for everybody from Vassa's skinny fems all the way to BBB hunks with everything in between.

never , ever in Thailand and for that matter anywhere else I had a case of security or management insisting on checking anything in the room I occupied. Ronnie you must have a bad luck or poor unresearched choice of hotels in LOS.

No and yes. Yes , tried many hotels as I like to sleep around in a sense you noticed in one of your comments to my thread. Expert I'm not because other than 2 nights per trip in Tarntawan I like budget hotels and only those who share my taste should pay any attention to my notes. At end of day I'm tempted to agree that Om Yim may be the best choice, close to everywhere, reasonably priced and appointed, no elevator though for those who care about those things. Recently I'm developing soft spot for Nantra Silom in soi 8 , very modern with basic breakfast included but room smaller than Om Yim.

Hope your reunion with Thailand will be enjoyable one. If you find time to report a bit here , even better. Both choices have advantages and are joiners friendly. Tarntawan is pricey compared to Malaysia but much closer to the action, breakfast for two is included and quite sumptuous. Malaysia is less than half price , rooms are spacious and airy but you need to budget for breakfast / 100-130 /, taxi from Silom /55-65 / , past midnight 80-100, motorsai from Lumpini MRT /20 /, whatever you decide you win.

typo - Vincent is in soi Dumphlee on the way from Rama Rd to Malaysia hotel, but I second - very good option and cute waiters. Madrid restaurant in Patpong has very good pizza

Only known hotel in the Silom area prohibiting visitors is Siam Heritage on Suriwong, should be no problem elsewhere but some may change joiner fees although it's while since somebody complained about those on gay boards..

nothing beats banana pancake in front of Silom soi 2 at midnight
