  1. Most app right now is just to connect two people. perhaps the whole gogobar experience might migrate to the internet, where we can see live streaming of the gogo bar shows, choose their number for private time, and able to off them and they will come to your hotel. dunno if this already exists, but it is definitely better than just browsing the many gay apps and seeing just pictures, where most of them are either fake or photoshopped
  2. From my observation, it does seems like those who are into twink will have much better experience in pattaya rather than bangkok. Those who are into hunk/muscular beefy guy better of in bangkok. Of course both places have both type of boys, but selection wise bkk has more gogobars with hunk/muscular type, and pattaya has more twink, and as samebb here testify, hotter twinks.
  3. Can a tourist open a bank account in thai? If its allowed, what do u need to do?
  4. If thailand no longer have gogo, beer bars etc, sex trade will goes to apps and massage parlour. Thats is what most other countries have right now. Cruising in shopping complex and parks will also happen. Maybe that will be the case. Maybe some of the boys will go to other countries as well like malaysia? Lol
  5. Too bad my flight to bangkok is 2.5 hour only, no jet lag to deal with. Maybe ill wait until they return to the day before pattaya clean up by the army/police.
  6. Ive never been to pattaya, but based on what i read here, didnt think i will go there over bangkok, though I like to experience pattaya myself before crossing it off altogether.
  7. I didnt know the license can be used in all asean country, does that means i can use my malaysian license to drive in thailand? Sweet.

    Tipping?

    Tipping is not a culture in my country, and I believe it isnt a culture in thai as well as most asian countries. Of course of u wanted to give money to the poor(not beggar), that is very much appreciated and it is usually done through many channels. There are few syndicates here who actually employ or force employ beggars and collect the income for themselves. They use religion, children, disabled person and always keep a watch of them. There are a lot of NGO that u can contribute if u really wanted to help. Or gives the beggars something to eat rather than money.
  9. Its divinemadman right, with the excel sheet.
  10. Its always great advice to not let your fear to intervene with you having fun. When it involves two human being (for some people three or more lol) its always more complicated than just a business transaction. There are boys who are grateful just to have a good manner customer to off him, and god knows how many of his customer treat him like a piece of meat purchased in the market. In the end, if u feel happy, and the boy is happy, thats all that matter, and money changing hands is just a formality of the multiple sharing that happens.
  11. As long as u are close to bts, there are tonnes of options for you to choose. Depends on your budget, your taste, and what u seek. If u let us know more details, perhaps we can further recommend you. I like muscular type and have no issues with my fav place arena.
  12. I have seen a study in national geography anout body odor, and how women reaction to them indicate their compatibility with the guy, but it has nothing to do with specific diet but rather just body odor. Like what u mentioned above, using a shirt worn for 2 days without showering do the trick. Lol i wonder if they try it for same sex study too
  13. Especially if your boy is not gay, but gay for pay.
  14. Probably terrible diet of high sugar can make semen taste sweet, while some healthy diet like onion, ginger, even some vegetables can makes them taste bitter. I do think its more simple than what the article is trying to make of it.
  15. Ive always went for oil massage at prime and always gets the table with holes, but i usually went there early when there isnt much crowd. For thai massage, i had a few before not in bkk and yeah, usually on a mat or raised hard wood platform. Didnt know arena have face holes, maybe i can request that next time, if they can understand my english hehe
  16. Yup, if u roughly know the location of your destination on the map, its easier to know which sides of the road to take the bus. Dunno about bkk, but in some cities, there are circular routes buses to add to the confusion and in some cases, u need to change buses midway to go to your destination. A buses route map is definitely a good thing to have, but an app wouldve been better. A quick google usually does the trick for famous tourists places though.
  17. Yes prime does have holes, though it doesnt have any face pillows, which makes it a bit uncomfortable for me, but still better than a table without them like in arena. U can always asked to change position from time to time if its too uncomfortable for u.
  18. I took a "nap" at about 9.30pm, and woke up near to 4 am. Haha, so much for a nap.
  19. Its really easy to fall in love with one of the bar boys, but at the end of the day, money talks unless you are one attractive guy in your 20s, and the bar boy is university educated, maybe there is a chance of true love.
  20. Day without boy in bed is OK but night? Sadly my night was also uneventful. Too tired to go out, and i rather be alone in my room after such ordeal. I still have 3 more night in bkk without any day trip planned though. And i have 2 credit cards with me all the time just in case of emergency but it wont be of use when im on a trip outside bkk. None of the small street vendors or even the small restaurants wont be accepting cc. My mistake was i didnt take into account that ill be offing dreamboy 44 that night, and i didnt take time to bring my foreign cash with me as well, which is enough to get me around 7k thb, all the while thinking i can just withdraw money from atm. But still, it is possible to live the day in thailand with as little as 100 thb (20 thb breakfast, 35 thb lunch, 20thb dinner and 10thb bottled water). Its not a feast but enough to keep my stomach from growling. And to top things off, it has to happen right after my friend had went back lol. Some of the setback of travelling alone i guess, with another means i had to dine alone. Lol
  21. Its like watching live porn, albeit one of the guy might not be porn star quality lol
  22. I didnt notice any asean lane in dmk or bkk, is there any lane for asean? i see one in vietnam ho chi minh airport though,
  23. Kanchanaburi Death Railway and Sai Yok Noi Waterfall 30th July Sorry for the late updates, been busy with work. At about 4.30 a.m. alarm ringing from the phone that woke both me and my boy of the night. He stopped the alarm and sees that i am also awake, and says morning. He went up to take shower and get ready to head out, sitting next to me until its close to 5am. We says our good bye in the room and i pass him the tips and got a nice kiss goodbye on the lips and a hug eventhough I havent had my shower yet. Today i needed to go to Hua Lamphong as well so instead of going back to bed, i went to the shower and got ready to head out. My friend also need to head to the airport early as well, so at about 5.50 am im at the lobby and saw that she is there waiting for a taxi. I went to the dest to check out, left my luggage at the lobby and ask for a taxi as well. I arrived at hua lamphong abit after 6am. So after i paid my boy his tips, I realized that im short of cash, so i tried to use one of the atm in hua lamphong to draw some cash. In my wallet, I only have about 250thb. I put in my atm debit card, and after pressing my pin and chose to withdraw some amount of cash, i suddenly get a message that i needed to contact issuing bank, and the atm swallowed my card. To make things worse, I didnt bring my main wallet which has the MYR cash and my other atm. I always have two wallets with me, one for travelling and another to hold the rest of my money at hotel safe or at this time in my big backpack. Its too late to go back to hotel to take cash, so I went to the info counter at the train station explaning my situtation and lo and behold, the info was no help. They just said i need to contact the bank and its sunday so the bank is closed. So i need to just survive the day with 250thb, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, any drinks, and also money to use the bts to asoke to pickup my luggage and go to saladaeng for my next hotel. I did called my bank to ensure no one will use my swallowed card just in case. And luckily enough, todays train ticket was bought in advance, which cost 120 thb, which wouldve been half of my left over cash lol. I realized later that i didnt call ahead my bank to allow oversea withdrawal, hence why i was denied access and why the at swallowed my card. So, instead of going to the dunkin donut or black canyon for a nice coffee and bread breakfast (i did bring 1 free bottled water from the hotel with me), i went straight to the train and search for my seats, which is numbered eventhough its all 3rd class non-airconditioned seat. There are about 8 cars total with some 2nd class cars but empty, but most of us occupy only the 4 cars in front. I can see that maybe 95% of the passengers are local thai, with maybe 4 farang, and maybe other asian tourist in between. The train depart at exactly 6.30 am with a slow pace as we exit bangkok urban area. I did ask the train info the english version of the itinerary of the trip, and i suggest all non-thai speakers do the same and the conductor and most local dont really speak english. This trip has many stops and you are required to return to the same train after some allocated time or you'll be left behind. The view from bangkok to the first stop is similar with the path i took to go to hua hin. The first stop were at Nakhonpathom, and we arrived there close to 8 am. 40 mins were given to visit the temple with a giant stupa there. Locals would purchase their offerings to the monks from the many streets vendors along the way. I went with the crowd, and took some pictures and saw that they charge foreigners to enter the temple and decided to go back and probably browse through the street vendor for breakfast. Halfway through the journey back, i saw the small fried balls with sweet and spicy fillings for 20thb and that should get me going until lunch. So i went back to the train and in Nong Pladuk station, we stopped for a bit and not until later i realized that the stop was to detached the the other cars from our train before we make our way to the next stop, River Kwai Bridge where we arrived at about 10 am. Here we are allowed for 30min sight seeing, walking on the train track crossing the river bridge, taking pictures and back to the train. Those who are not using the train can stay on the track as our train pass the bridge at these little spaces along the track. The train then make our way to the next stop, which is further than kanchanaburi station, right after the river kwai cabin train stop. From here, the train travel very slowly as there are many tourists walked along the train track as we make our way crossing the historic wooden train track along river kwai on our left and big granite cliff on our right. The view is magnificent and surreal to say the least. There is a cave that one can go to right next to the track and it would be a nice trekking if u didnt come here using the train. We didnt stop at this cave sadly, and head straight to the last station, Nam Tok Sai Yok Noi, a station that can only be reached using this weekend tourist train, as regular daily train will stop at Nam Tok station, 2km away from this last station. I looked at my phone and its just passed noon, so i alight the train and slowly make my way to the waterfall, taking pictures of the train and my surrounding along the way. I see a tourist info center, and its always a habit of mine to ask for the map of the area. We have about 2.5 hours here to enjoy the area, the waterfall and have lunch. There are a lot of restaurants around here, some of which even deliver food to your place near the river where plenty of mats around. I decided to just relax and see the waterfall first, went to take the small stairs to go to the upper level of the water fall and dip my feet in the puddle near the fall. i didnt bring extra clothes to take a dive here and didn't plan to lol. The place is a bit crowded but not enough to make you feel uncomfortable. After cooling off a bit, i wander back to the station and see there is a tracking trail where u can go to a cave (2km away) and water source (1.2km away). I went up the stairs and there is a ranger cabin upstairs and some locals resting. I walked toward the edge and can see the waterfall just below me, i take a seat and just spend some alone time there for a while, enjoying the view and the nice weather. I didnt have enough water with me to go for the 2km hike so i just wander around the area and saw a signboard that says sai yok noi cave, with no indication of the distance. I just try to follow the direction of the sign, and after a bit of walk, found a makeshift stone stairs that is covered a bit by overgrown grasses. I took the stairs up and walked another 5 mins to see a small cave hidden behind the small hill. Inside there are a few buddha statues which looks very clean with fresh flowers around the neck. I went inside and take some pictures and then walk back down. I was all alone there, and it was peaceful indeed, but it does gives me chills as well lol. I make my way back to the station, buy a bottled water for the usual 10 thb, and then went back to the waterfall and take a seat there, and just stay there for a while to kill time by watching the people there. Some of the local thai guys are very cute indeed lol. It is close to 1.30pm already so i make my way down the road to find some food for lunch, and saw some street vendors selling roti. I looked at the menu and saw that young coconut roti looks appealing to me, and so i bought one for 35thb. It turns out the owner's sister in law is from malaysia and he can speak malay, and he also offer me free cocount drinks as well. We had a nice chat and i went back to the station to eat my lunch which is delicious and quench my thirst as well. It is now close to 2pm, i make my way into the train and rest at my seat until its time to head back to Bangkok. On the way back, we had one final stop at Kanchanaburi station to visit the cemetery of the fallen POWs and i see some of them serves in malaysia as well. I had ordered my dinner on the train earlier in the morning, and got my dinner about 2 hour before arriving in bangkok at around 8pm. My dinner, Fishball noodle (kuey tiau is what i believe the name in thai, where we have a different noodle dish with the same name in malaysia) and it only cost me 20thb. I immediately make my way to the mrt afterward and went to pick up my luggage at asoke. I also spent a bit of time calling my other bank at the hotel lobby to allow withdrawal from oversea and then make my way to Saladaeng station where i went to the atm to withdraw cash with a huge sigh of relief that now i can start spending again normally lol. Its just another thing that we always take for granted because we always have enough of them. As i am always meticulous with my spending, I usually have enough money in savings all the time so i'll have a peace of mind when it comes to money, and having almost no cash and outside of big cities is not really what you want to do in a foreign countries. I had quite a day today, and i went straight to my hotel afterwards to check in, clean up and went to bed. Another day without boy in my bed.
  24. We do learn english as early as kindergarten and all the way to university even if we study in local universities, and other than the 2 national universities, most universities here also teach in english. Given that most jobs require at least passing the high school.
  25. Human capital for malaysia is second just behind singapore. Hmmm, why i didnt feel like we deserve that ranking? Lol
