Freshboys is packed with customers most nights. Business is good for bar although the guys don't get as many offs as they would like to. This is because most customers go to Freshboys to watch the show. And #31 is one of the stars of the show! He's a friendly guy and a brilliant pool player. I took him out to play pool with my regular guy once.

My regular guy told me the following information. "Since November 17, all Vietnamese passport holders who have been to Bangkok two times cannot go to Bangkok anymore. All Vietnamese passport holders will be allowed to enter Thailand only twice in 2026." His information is from travel agent who arranges visa runs for Vietnamese in Thailand.

But the customer pays the off fee for the boy in the bar.

Another forum member. Staying at same hotel at same time. Le Meridien. They can meet for breakfast!

Are you meeting forum member this weekend?

How much did he ask for?

I will be there for 11 nights. It will be my main place for meals - breakfast, dinner and supper!

Change of date. 28th November to 9th December

I reckon it was money.

I arrive that evening and am available at 9pm after I check into my room.

30 days!

He will cost quite a fair sum of money!

Maybe they were already offed by customers on the nights you went!

I've not known of any guy working in bar to ever request for extension. When their 60 days is close to ending, they do a visa run or go back to home country and return to Thailand a few days or weeks later. I know of waiters who are on long term work permits which their employers applied on their behalf. It will be extremely inconvenient for the guys in the bars to be unable to do visa runs. I read that the new rules only apply to land crossings. A friend of my regular guy will not be affected because he travels by air (thanks to wealthy regular customers!) I believe many guys in the bars are adopting a wait and see stance and crossing fingers to see how the rules are implemented.
