In the past two years, I've used Siam Roads guides in Bangkok (3 times), Laos, Chiang Mai, and Pattaya. I will use them again on future trips to explore Vietnam and Myanmar. They have been professional and always knowledgeable. They have shown me around gay clubs and gogos - it is a comfortable way to be introduced to places that were new to me. I've returned on my own to many of the places armed with the previously guided entires. As to their personal lives outside of being their being gay, I might know who is a student, who works in software, etc. But I've not been approached for "extra" services. These guys have come together to earn a living, Moses deserves a lot of credit for keeping up their website and supporting them.

Same same with Planet Romeo today!

Fares vary tremendously...I track the fare from SFO to BKK. Last two weeks of December and first week of January roudn trip economy runs $1300 to $1400. As of 2nd week in January they drop to $620/$660. Now and then, the holiday season prices will drop is seats aren't selling, happened a couple of years back.

There is probably no good answer to your question. Sometimes price is important sometimes location, sometimes ambiance and/or food are attrations or limiting factors. Zing is a reinvention of another hotel now gone. I've talked with folks who stayed there and they thought for the price it was a good value. A tour guide that I've used serval times in and around Thailand has stayed there and strongly suggested that it would be a good fit for me. He even gave me room numbers to request. Forum members I greatly respect are very positive about the Agate which is a really attractive hotel. I've toured the hotel and liked its look especially the pool area. Off putting are the overnight tour groups that come and go with great frequency. Other nearby options are The Venue and The Poseidon. My last three trips, I've stayed at Poseidon where the customer service from the staff is outstanding and the restaurant is top grade. Prior to that I stayed at BB Inn on the beach with a good restaurant next door..

I'm going to miss crossing paths by a few days. I leave the US on the 20th of November putting me in close to midnight on the 21st. If immigration isn't horrible, you could check into the Raya, leave the hotel, turn right, and iwith a few steps find folks and boys at the bars at the entrance to Twilight. Across the street you're close to Screwboys which stays open a bit later. Have a great time, post closer to arrival and let folks know of your arrival and ask them to PM you.

Hello, Robwales 15, "newbie" report is excellent and concise. Welcome and keep up reporting.

Just noting that vinapu is alive and well and on the ground in Thailand...anticipating a full report as well as continuing comments on various topics.

When I was ther in June, the powers that be were removing the trees in front of BB Inn, I'm back in November, interesting to see the lack of progress that will have occurred.

Arena and a Prince have the largest selection to choose from.

There's little to lose in discussing travel with a boy you are interested in...I traveled twice in the last two years with a boy from one of the Bangkok gogos. Each trip was a good time and we were compatible. I had to adjust one trip's start as he had to do a visa run. The trips were a two and a three day visit to Pattaya. He likes to be in the water and I like to watch. I would discuss face to face...but, you could also have the proposed travel happen right after the discussion. Lots of variables. Last time for me we had discussed it for my next visit. He agreed and met me at the airport when I flew into BKK and we went directly to Pattaya.

While I agree with DivineMadman about avoiding places with repeated reports of theft, I had'nt read this thread before I visited Banana in late June. I had a fantastic massage, liked the new place, and had a good chat with Kelvin,the manager. I used the locker for my valuables. After reading this thread I note that the reported theft was around the time Banana had moved into it's new location. Don't know what else to say...

It may have been market forces working at full steam if the offing party was an excellent customer for management.

Don't worry...the different voices giving their reports improves everyone's reports. We already know that you are intelligent as you booked low airfares which means you will know value and report on it. I'm thinking to be in Bangkok around the same time as your booking information shows and if I am, I hope we might meet up.

Agree with other posters, great reports and multi informative. I'll be interested in your thoughts on a Hot Male as m told they have changed the show to be move of a stage show and reconfigured the room.

Thanks for your reports, as Vinapu mentioned, there hasn't been a report on Tawan for quite some time. Your report updates us all.

Have a great trip, looking forward to your write-ups

Most boys - Dreamboys and Jupiter - reviews tend to credit these two clubs with the best shows. Show at Boys66 was good when I saw it in June but few customers. Screwboys is hit or miss. Had two great visits with lots of boys and two visits where there were few boys. Agree with Vinapu - a report would be a help to keep forum members updated.

Great reporting.

Blue House website says it's open.

Here's some Offer Nissim from Pride here two years ago

Last three visits have begun with two or three nights in Pattaya which with the beach is less frenetic and allows for the jet lag to ease up. Then on to Bangkok for an immersion program - November trip is planned to repeat this pattern.

Isn't Heaven a club in London?

The rates are for guide only. Anything else is an add-on, car, driver, meals, admission charges.

My last two trips to Thailand began with short stays in Pattaya for jet lag adjustment before heading to Bangkok. This has worked well for me, I stay in Jomtien and let the bar boys assist in my adjustment. Then I'm ready for Bangkok. Just booked for a November trip and will begin that in Pattaya/Jomtien.
