Looking forward to your report!

Hi GB Is Black Cat a sauna for hooking up like Sansuk or babylon Or is it simply a sauna for relaxing (like the one in Body club)

C'mon GB who are you trying to Kid? Traffic on Sukhumvit flies past at 100++KmPH Traffic on any of the pattaya Beach/2/3rd roads goes by at a fraction of that An accident on Sukhumvit will invariably result in death An Accident on the main Pattaya city roads will result in a trip to hospital... but not death as frequently as on Sukhumvit Before you ask I don't have any stats to back up my point - but I think its pretty damn obvious! Even my Thai BF won't even drive on Sukhumvit as he is so scared of the the traffic!

I'm not sure Nicholas would be impressed to hear that he is being called a Ladyboy! You are correct in that the bar has changed hands twice in the last year... Nicholas the Tall young Farang guy sold it on... And now it seems that Louis (previously of Tai Boys, City Boys, Gacuya etc) is now the owner...

Sansuk Sauna has some White Russian rent boys plying their trade there (Or so I have been informed!) Actually I'm not sure if they are actually plying their trade... or just hanging out there with their customers/sponsors... But they are rent boys in their home countries

It is a traditional Thai Massage place... The 1st time i went there back in November the guy started smoking me (much to my surprise) and i asked him to stop (he was not my type) 2nd time i was there 10 days ago the cute guy kept brushing against my "member"... once it was sufficiently awake he whispered "you want" to me... A rudimentary handjob (with some additional groping) ensued I would never have considered this kind of thing in a curtained non-private room...especially as I was looking for a real massage after a difficult evenings bowling the day before... but it was the boy who initiated the action both times

I went upsatirs with a boy last week... Before we went up he clearly explained that there was a 150B charge (we both had had 1 drink at that stage) When we got upstairs the boy sat me down in a semi private area... 30 seconds another boy shouted "excuse me" and came running up the stairs with the 150B bill for upstairs..he then went back down After that my chosen boy dimmed the lights and some more private action ensued... Action was limited to oral... but I'm pretty sure things could have gone further given the boys expertise! Of course the biggest mistake I made was taking my no.2 choice upstairs... Don't know why I didn't just invite my No.1 choice... guess it was cos he asked me where my BF was!!!!

Also had a very happy visit to Relax@Me during my stay earlier this month... Spotted a really cute looking guy outside and went there praying that he would be the one allocated to me! Luckily he was... and a great massage followed... BF was very jealous afterwards! Unfortunately I never saw him again after the massage... even though my room in Mosaik overlooked the shop.... Would have like to try the take awya service!

I'd bring you some from Ireland... Except we only have Canadian Spring Soap here! (BTW I'm joking - have never heard of any such brand over here in Ireland!)

I think that the opening of Dave, NAB, X-ray and their ilk effectively killed off BBB and LCRs late night trade over the last 3 years... So many familiar faces are seen in the late night discos these days(even Toi and El duo!)

I notice a lot less boys on Gayromeo for the last 2 weeks... i put it down to the bars being busier and there being less need for them to go cruising for farang at night... Hi Buckeroo Just curious... what do you do at night if you don't visit the bars?

Could it be the fact that there was a hint about money and you never picked up on it? Hence no reason for them to keep in contact with what they considered to be a stingy farang? Anybody who goes to DJ everyday is either: A Millionaire An Alcoholic An ex-moneyboy that has a farang/thai sponsor A Moneyboy

Around 6 years ago the Irish govt started charging a tax of 15c (30THB) per plastic bag This went up to 22c 2 year ago No matter what - i could never persuade BF to re-use or not to take a plastic bag when he goes shopping here... it seems to just be against his nature The tax is going up to 44c (88Baht!) PER bag later this year.... There is no way in hell anyone will continue using plastic bags at that price!

Hi GB Thanks for reposting he phrase book Much appreciated Will Save it down for study on my next flight!

Hi GB Back when you ran the old Gaybutton site - you used to have a page that listed out simple words and phrases in English and their Thai Equivalent I used to regularly refer to that list in my early dats of visiting Thailand Now that my Thai vocabulary has improved - i'd be interested in seeing how I am doing against the old list... However i seem to have mislaid my copy Do you still have the list to hand? I'm sure there are lots of newbies(and not-so newbies!) out there that would benefit from this list Thanks in Advance!

I seem to remember a stage back arund 2001/2002 where somebody would get arrested once a month in the short time rooms in the old Amigo/Leo bar (what is now Don Plaza) Ok i know thats not taking somebody "off" its taking someone sort time upstairs... but mamasans and waiters are always keen for the customers to take a boy "upstairs" and there have been planty of arrests for this

This is the internet age - so i think you should abandon the letter writing in favour of: VOIP - I call my BF 5-6 times a day over VOIP, using services like Voipcheap and voipstunt - the call never costs me more than 1c per minute On the other hand if you really prefer the written medium of communication - you could pick up ur BF a brand new netbook at around 10,000B on you next trip (or a second hand one even cheaper) Thailand has a great GSM network so your BF would be able to access the internet using a GPRS or 3G modem (300B per month on True) You could even use MSN and communicate with him real time - or even better with webcams and see him real time The 10,000 could be quite quickly recouped in postage/translation (and stress!) costs

Come on guys! It may seem like 9 days... but you know in reality its only 4-5 days... Stop being such misery guts and enjoy songkran.... If GB can... anyone can! :-P <joking GB... But glad that you enjoy Songkran as much as i do!>

Hi Jtrack Was their room in south pattaya on the corner of 3rd road and Soi 17 by any chance (across from the 7-11 and the big open air food market?) There are tons of gay boys working there including a bunch of ex-Cocktail/Euroboys workers who use Gayromeo exclusively these days for their pickups They can also be seen partying and strutting their stuff most night in x-ray, usually with new Russans farangs in tow

He has been in quite a few of the recent Islnd Caprice videos: http://www.icsvideo.com/ They call him Anurak so u can search on that site for his name... Most of their newer models i saw/met on my last trip to pattaya in Nov/Dec/Jan... So that would tend to indicate that he was in the Pattaya area inthe last 6-12 months Ics video would also have his Proof of age detail (ID card) on file so perhaps theycan help...

HI GT One thing that has always seemed strange to me is your penchant for straight guys! If you are looking for a true BF or BS it would help for a start if he was: -Gay -Into Farang -Does not have a current BF or LB or GF on the side Thats my opinion on it anyway...

Also picked up my copy tonight - with MBs autograph... looking frward to reading it over thenext few days... Is Mama Rose referenced in it? He is my BFs "mama" (or at least 1 of many!)so i'm sure he will be interested too!

Hi PattayaMale - i think that Thappraya soi 11 is a more accurate address for Cafe Des Amis... Both Sansuk Sauna and Cafe Des Amis have their signs at the top of Thappraya soi 11 The restaurant is at the top of the small street leading into the sauna... (not long after the much spoken about Morocan castle)

I paid 3000 fora taxi from Suvanabhumi to Khorat in Late December 2007.... I would imagine that the same price still applies Think we did the journey in 2.5 hours

Hi Guys As suspected I have been overpaying! After seeing a few Baht bus drivers get nasty with customers (one time involving an iron bar!). I have always tended to err on the side of caution when it comes to paying baht bus drivers... Will give the 10 baht payment a trial and see how it goes... If anyone hears of an Irish guy being beaten to ribbons by a baht bus driver - it's probably me!
