vinapu

it's called fun of travelling newalaan. Not disputing your spending logic though, I live practically walking distance from the airport and taxi fare would be about 750 baht so 1200/1500 to PTY would be almost free in comparizon of distance. As for death traps, small van and big car are the same steel coffins if you had bad luck of landing insane driver. Certainly taxi fares are extremely good value in Thailand whether we are using them or not, even ChrstianPFC not exactly famous for lavish spending is praising and using them

after I landed this 'axe murderer ' when we surveyed BoyzBoyzBoyz last December, my Pattaya percentage may increase. Not being big fan of Pattaya I'm one of all 3 sois of Boyztown, including hotels and restaurants . I feel great there and there are boys for everybody from Vassa's skeletons to BBB daddies.

don't go by the looks , some total bottoms are very manly so you may cut yourself short. If mamasan doesn't ask you about your preferences just ask, he will know who does what. Don't be shy, he heard it all already. As an alternative you can ask boy directly, either up front or during session . Some may do it for money and still some because they like or feel comfortable around you or both. I always ask boy about their preferences / girls/boys, top/bottom/ in course of conversation and sometimes answers are changing as session progresses or in subsequent session. Some tops guard their reputation and will not entertain an idea on the premises but may hint that if you take him out he may reconsider. If you like the boy I'd still take him, enjoy the massage and ask him which of his friends will bottom. You may be surprised what they know. Bottom line, just have a fun hunting , don't plan too much

not to dispute your reasons but it's quite possible that when those slaves return home whatever leftovers they were paid may make them quite affluent in comparison to compatriots deprived that chance. It's often a case with workers from countries with controlled currencies working abroad that pittance they are making makes them rich when it's exchanged on the black market upon return. And yes , according to The Economist which published an article about North's economy few weeks ago, there's black market there

to see places very few people were able to visit, that's reason good enough. In dirt poor country even visitor of modest means may feel pampered so there's good feeling factor also. Dictatorships are nasty but also mean that most of those countries are very safe for visitor. Iraq and Syria are war zones - no comparison to North Korea. GoldMember - just go !

This is what I wanted to hear

You were exactly there - last townhouse on the left side of that small soi is Waternest , there is sign

I was once part of such a crowd at Saphan Taksin BTS during 2014 Loy Krathong and never again, unpleasant and outright dangerous even in well behaving crowd like Thais. Thank you for a warning although for many reasons / heat , work load / I'd never consider visiting BKK at Songkran time.

no, never. Never took picture of the boy itself either but once allowed boy to take picture with both of us / just faces / to discover more than year later he still has it on his phone. Those days there's no such thing like private use only and there's always danger that by acccident or design picture you took will find it's way past your camera or computer

if you are tired with all that shopping Waternest Spa is in soi 39 and Jey Spa in soi 41, both worth patronizing , believe me

try Health Spa in Silom 64 building ,always few boys presenting themselves on the street level, ,mostly twinks but with quite a good massage skills. Oscar in silom soi 8 may have some fems. Definitely Arena is not for boys you are looking for as they are mostly better built and mid twenties types although they have few of lighter built / my favourite Dit for example/

You right, it's horror but at least medical emergency is not excluded

you go alone you have freedom of doing whatever you want but at times you mat get bored / easily cured by hiring consolator as I call them / you go with somebody you have a company but always need to compromise since rarely two people like the same or even are getting hungry at the same time. Week or two in LOS should cure your burns from last relationship as nothing soothes you burns better than warm Thai smile and smooth Thai skin

as firecat said , don't worry about anything , just go. If you don't speak Thai is not much you can say wrong,behave like you would in your own country and you will do nothing wrong, as for tipping not enough it can be easily corrected by slipping another note. My personal experience from the first trip is tipping too much though / long time rate for short time , I did know difference/. Not having enough can be easily corrected by slipping plastic into cash machine. Just don't fall in love too fast

when is not raining, yes

I envy you and can't wait for your North Korean reports. If I was forced to choose between Shanghai, Seoul and Beijing , last one would be my choice, Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Great Wall are not to be missed

I like it , stay there over Christmas and did not notice anything bad, not luzurious but comfortable, fantastic location and value for money

very sound advice Nirish, if Agoda says full, try Booking.com or Asiarooms.com etc. Even when hotel's own website says full, e-mail to hotel may result in hidden vacancy revealed, speaking from personal experience as well, most recent - Malaysia Hotel just before Christmas, booking.com showed full, 15 seconds later Agoda showed '2 rooms left at that price", bingo

welcome back anonone, you were quiet for a while. The Bromance is not sad movie , it's just eye-watering

you are not alone having that impression, the same goes with straight 'gay for pay' boys as opposite to gay go-go as long as I can see it

it is, but few hotels beat it when comes to being close to the action, I admit I have soft spot for the place and their room 302 where somehow I always land regardless l book 6 months in advance or show unannounced.

may be viewing pleasure plays the trick. I like Jupiter shows and boys but when entering bar mentally i'm not even considering offing a boy due to bad experience in the past but can watch them to no end. And really what is Super Star? Everybody has own definition and my super star may be genetic garbage to somebody else and other way around.

I was there in December, 1.5 hr massage 700, minimum tip not out of line of what other massage places in BT are charging / suggesting. Certainly it was good experience for me below are what I wrote in "day 8 " of my "Off to Thailand again" thread, confirming boys are Christian's type: " In the early afternoon wandered to Pattayaland soi 1, on where Dreamboys and X boys are located and was unexpectedly lured into Narcissus Massage by Bee, boy type Christian or Firecat would like rather than me but there was something enthusiastic in his voice so I took a chance. 1.5 hr oil massage 700, minimum tip for 1 hr 500 , longer or with sexual context 1000. Showered alone before , together after. massage cubicle has a mirror. As it's often a case smail framed boys are delivering quite strong massages and sporting quite a piece of manhood too. Both cases proved in this one. Proper order , first massage then the rest. Liked his sense of humor - he has quite a scar from motorbike accident caused by lady driving car while texting apparently. When my wandering hand found it , he slided my hand a bit higher so toughed his erection and said ' but nothing wrong here'. Would be afraid of God's wrath if tipped him only 1000 so gave him well earned 1500. Great session, sweet yet smart boy, Narcissus is undiscovered gem probably. Most of boys there a of cute rather than hunky type. When leaving guy was setting his stand with street food, for 50 baht had great and tasty meal as well."

work like any other and at least there's no dust

BBB Inn, not sold out , in the middle of the action 25 hours a day , 8 days a week , great A/C / I consider their best of all hotels I was in LOS ever / and definitely not nosey although your BF may not like it if he considers Tarntawan not discrete enough. Dusit Thani deal looks enticing but too classy for me so no experience with guests , specially covered in talc
