Right, we don't even know how our own ass looks like

YESSSSS !!

So which hotel you finally picked up? Planning vacation is almost as exciting like vacations itself but don't over do it , whatever you will do in Bangkok you will never be bored Chatuchak is only worth visiting on weekend and idea of going there early is very sensible as it becaomes hot and crowded as day goes. A must in Bankgok is Grand Palace and Wat Po nearby, Vinamek and Throne Hall, taking boat from SAphan Taksin BTS to Grand Palace. I also suggest Snake Farm , right opposite of Soi Twilight. Patpong is great night market and I like it at deep night when they start winding it down - lots of shirtless boys working on dis-assembly of stalls,Has only one gay bar -Screwboys. Soi Twilight across the Suriwong from Patpong is the center of gay entertainment with 7 bars and I suggest you try to visit all of them plus Jupiter and Tawan.

Alexx, somebody on reception probably thought that is market for every age / I guess it's a while since you got your first driving license /

I think I know who owns Ambiance now, it's owner. And I'm sure he / she likes this thread as it gives some exposure to that friendly hotel's name

If memory serves me well xiluzer from this board stayed there over Christmas and reported no problems with joiners - you may consider PM / private message / him just to make sure

cost of four hands massage 1000-1200 for the house plus tip for each boy 1000-1500, Guy Spa in Sukhumvit soi 19 and Hero had very good comments abouth the event recently on this forum

joseph44, no need to get offended, all of us by virtue of publishing here are inviting comments without any guarantee that others will share our view of the world affairs. Inviting unrelated 16 years old to live with you is like kissing lion's ass - doubtful pleasure but BIG danger. Since when we offer our bedroom to guests if we have spare one? Thin ice indeed

Unless one has some interest in property why exactly we should care who is the owner? Wheteher he is cigar smoking fat guy from Kansas or skinny wrinkled lady from Macao who cares and why? If sheets are clean and room swept daily this is what we need.

imkeev, stick to taxis and public transport, if you new to Bkk chance are tuk-tuk drivers will take you for a ride either by overcharging you or driving you to places where they can get some commission on purchases you may make.

only time I go for vacations with somebody is when I go for an organized trip where everything is pre-arranged and need for quarrels of what to do is thus eliminated. If you go alone you're free to do what and when you want and meet whoever you like. Particularly in Bkk when you certainly will be meeting some companions you would be rather discreet about. Few years ago I was in Bangkok with a straight friend for a week but we had an arrangements that we part our ways after breakfast and none of us will bring any companions to hotel room we shared. He was whoring at Nana Plaza and soi Cowboy, I was at Patpong and to this day he doesn't know what side of Patpong I was frequenting.

Gaybutton's monkey story reminds me massive theft I was witness at Ulu Watu temple in Bali last May , several friendly moneys descended on Japanese tour and in less then 1 minute 4 tourists had their glasses snatched. Very wise warning

joseph but did YOU actually heard those stories from boy or just heard about them from others ?

Moral of this story is nothing new - you want stay out of trouble, stay away from 16 year olds, lucky you whole affair finished very fast before you run yourself into trouble. Good heart is not a substitute for oxygen in brain.

You are right, let him go to BKK for Songkran, few day of break may actually be good for you , him and your relationship. Each part will have a chance to see how much he missed another ' half '

What I found last May is that nothing kept me fresh than mid-day massage in one of air-conditioned places. Most massage places open between 12-3 so this is viable option . Hereforme is right about climate, I landed at 10 p.m. and it was still +33, be prepared for torrential rains , usually at night but it's not a bad time to visit, Problem with too comfortable hotel may be that you may be tempted to stay in your room most of the time and regret it later

Welcome to the forum. You may wish to force yourself to go through my post about massages I placed on this forum after November trip link below http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/9350-impressions-from-nov-2013-trip-massage-places-regrets-and-waring-signs/ On top of places mentioned there are two within walking distance from your hotel : Baan Teva and Prince. Locals eat on the street. Across the Sathorn Convent Rd is my favorite place for street food in Bangkok but you are never from some food stall there. rest assured for both massage and food you are in for a treat in Thailand. Other posters with extensive massage reports from recent trips on this forum are xiluzer and bkkmfj, read what they had to say as well. Any questions-ask

What to discuss? Singha is much better

Dave, from responses in Dead buffalo thread so far it's clear that your suspicions about this just being a legend may hold truth

welcome back, we did not hear from you for a while

It may come from low self-esteem, some people are forgetting that cemeteries are full of people impossible to substitute. I'm with you being grateful that in Thailand we have such a great source of joy with all those willing , available and still smiling companions. As for your last dud- may be this way his way of showing he is faithful to his money showering farang. Sometimes nothing is wrong . it's just lack of chemistry. Boys I miss the most are neither shockingly handsome nor particularly active under the sheets / bar one / but I just feel in heaven with them beside me because chemistry seems to be right

One of our Esteemed and Distinguished contributors in another thread wondered if stories of boys requesting money because family buffalo is sick or just died are truth or just legend of gay Thailand. Since I also never had such a request from boy either I'm curious what others have to say - did you have boy who wanted money for buffalo or you just heard it from your neighbor's best friend cousin?

You may be right, I never had such request too, really never other than taxi money request. Butterflying has it's advantages I guess We will see what others have to say - thread started.

Michael is right - leaving nothing to chance improves odds of being satisfied. So those who are more spontaneous and just curious to see what happens likely will be landing dud from time to time, I can live with that. No doubt boys have their own farang rating and while Williewillie is correct that many of us may be blaming boys for our own shortcomings , whatever they may be / hygiene, stinginess, bad treatment etc. / but no need to use pink glasses when looking at boys. Some are very skillful money extractors and like to exploit our weak points hence all those stories about taxi money , sick buffalos etc. Not that I blame them but not every farang landing dud has himself to blame. I have suspicion that cases 2-4 from OP from my November trip did not work for me because I was too generous with them or their friends previously and they thought rightly they bedded sucker farang . Not that I'm complaining, at least they all had great bodies

So it looks that those of us who are more hunters, carefully picking up their prey and negotiating expectancies before closing door have minuscule chance of landing dud , whatever it means . Those who are fishers, rather than hunters, picking up whatever will show up at the hook have about 1 in 5 / Christian experience mirrors mine/ chance of not being happy. Since I belong to fisher category usually picking up boy at the flash and taking him off without any negotiations other than short/long time willingness I must say I'm content with 20 % failure rate as a price for possible nice surprise. It looks that fate treats me well since out of 5 boys I recall most fondly only 2 were my choice, other 3 were forced on me from rotation ,mamasan's mistake and by boy himself and I'm still smiling.
