Sauna Mania I have to disagree! I have had success at Sauna Mania and I am 60+ year old Farang. I like to go late (after midnight) but last time I went there that had closed at midnight. That is of no use to me so I have deleted SM from my Sauna list. i believe they were raided just before the closing time changed ( they used to be open until early morning). Maybe that’s why. And yes there was an additional charge for being older, but it wasn’t much.

The summer is fine. Perhaps a little rain, but not much. Plenty of boys and gogo bars. Same as high season.Less customers, so more boys for you. Pattaya is the best place for boys and gogo bars. Fewer in Phuket, even fewer in Chang Mai and none in Chang Rai. Bangkok is the same all year round. Plenty to choose from but more expensive than Pattaya.

I cannot see why they should have less rain, they are not that far from the mainland. Anyway the main point is that you will find little or no gay life there! Pattaya is a must for first time visitors and even regulars.

Is this sign still up??

I bet he got the 100 baht each way mini bus to BKK!!

Ducs and Come In Bar both closed. The One is open but has very few customers. I don’t know how it survives.

Do you mean the Rabbit Resort on Jomtien Beach?

Actually I don’t even eat the breakfast there any more....but this isn’t a Tarntawan thread.

TiT

Wouldn’t it be awful if they moved after the 12 th! 9 days leave ...how can you manage? The sooner you retire the better, how long you got to go?

Well 100 baht for 30 seconds is equal to GBP 285 per hour.

Exactly...just sleep as long as you need....call it jet lag...call it no non sleeping for 26 + hours ...call it what you like...nobody knows..just sleep it off . Simple.

To me there is no such thing as Jet Lag. If you have a 12 hour flight then you probably have a 20 hour door to door journey. This coupled with say 4 hours preparation and another few hours unpacking means you are on the go for 26+ hours with little if any sleep. Longer if you have a longer flight.No wonder you feel fucked. The answer for some ...Business Class ...for the rest of us..just sleep it off as required.

I have never, in 15 years, paid an off fee to a mamasan. It always goes on the check bin (thai for a bill). In fact I haven’t, and will, not speak to them. Hideous beings

Padborn, sorry I have been away and have not explained fictitious bookings. It’s simple...put in any date on a website then check their prices. Nothing sinister. You will see that Google Flights comes out £50 more than Traveltrolley on Eva Air flights from LHR to BKK.

Same in Pattaya, they will keep them.

In the UK some have a rotten reputation, which is why I say read the reviews. There are plenty of websites. How it works outside the uK I don’t know.

I have just put in a search on Google Flights for a few fictitious flights. I usually fly Eva air from London to Bangkok and book it through a consolidator called Traveltrolley. I compared the two and Google came out more by expensive by £50 each time. Try it! IMHO find yourself a good reliable consolidator ( read the reviews) and stick with them. I never do Airmiles as I don’t want to be forced to stay with the same airline when their prices rise ( Qatar for example). I’m better off browsing around and picking up bargains as they arise.

Probably more of them run by Farangs, than nowadays. And we understand these things more than the Thais.

Hence my username !!

I agree. I stopped using Casa Fellini when I went in there one evening and the place was full of cigarette smoke generated by the owner standing behind the bar smoking non stop. Lewinskis, right next door, is very very good and the portions are very generous. They also serve real Draught Guiness which is as good, or better, than you will get anywhere, including Ireland!

Not sure you are right there. I only use Hornet and it allows you to search anywhere in the world and to send messages. All this is free and requires no false positioning.

You can also do the same for Hornet Errr not so... Im in the UK and am now using both searching for boys in Pattaya to meet next month. (Select "explore the world" in Hornet) The only thing I would say is that Gay Romeo is soooo bloody hard to use. Hornet is far easier.

Wrong, sooner or later it will happen! Ive had 1000 bt stolen from my pockets twice while being in the shower (admittedly by ladyboys). Both times the shower was in a separate room. Take everything with you.
