I don't like ties and bowties, but at least they don't hide much. Towels is ok, and some have nothing underneath. I don't like shorts like in Eros; and I like underwear best for the boys to wear (with tastes for cuts and colors, beyond the scope of this forum).

On the bus, buying a ticket is not a waste of time because the bus is already running when the cashier comes along. Whereas queuing at MRT or BTS ticket automats is a waste of time. A question nobody has an answer to, most people don't even see the problem: there is much more unskilled labor than is needed, in every country of the world, and increasing.

From two visits this year, the street trade around the royal palace is almost dead, and the little that remains has moved to Klong Lot, and is not worth going.

For those who can't figure out the dates: 25 to 28 of January 2018 (or year 2561 in Buddhist Era).

Some Bangkok buses have card readers installed at the doors, and all buses now have an LCD screen that shows, among others, use of cards and the card reader. I'm optimistic that there will be a unified cashless payment system for all kinds of public transport on Bangkok within my lifetime. (Sidenote: Now that I often go with a Farang friend by his car on the tollway, I noticed that there are two operators: one has a choice between cash and a cashless remote payment system with a device installed in the car, which my friend has (the cashless remote payment device), and the other operator is cash only.)

You are condoning THEFT.

Usually twice, in the evening and in the morning. But nowadays I rarely do longtime.

Neven been in such a situation. Situations that come close were: The boy Art who tried to steal my camera (it was already in his backpack), who was not a money boy (but I supported him with small amounts of a few hundred Bath, which obviously was not enough). I made it clear that I was not amused, and even gave him money for taxi when he asked for it, even thought at that point I knew already that beside taking my camera, he had been at my wallet as well. Should not have given him taxi money! The boy Bom Minburi (moneyboy) who stole from me 3 times already, combined 1800 THB, but he is my type! He does not know that I know that he stole from me. Still pondering if I should invite him once more, to announce at the end that I know that he stole from me, and he has the 1000 we agreed upon for short time already stolen and I won't give him any more. In your case I would have sent the boy out without money. Even better if you did not talk about money for sex. From a legal point of view, these are two different things: first you would have to pay for the service, and then you can report him to the police for trying to steal from you.

No problems with dogs. I look at them, speak with them. It's a question of attitude. Didn't your parents teach you not to take candy from strangers? It's the same with invitations from bar boys or staff that you don't know well: either the invitation is not sincere (just small talk) or you will pay heavily if you follow. I once did and paid heavily (both in money and sanity): http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2015/11/trip-to-nakon-nayok-with-some-thai.html

For me the question is rather: will the boy get naked, and preferably hard? A handjob is worthless to me, unless I can get my eyes and hands on a handsome body.

Didn't someone say somewhere sometime [citation needed] that the appeal of the barracks is the shared bathroom, especially public showers?

As I said many times, prices in Soi Twilight are outrages. Here one more confirmation. I don't like sex in saunas, but that is mostly for cleanliness issues and poor lighting, both can be solved. But there are clear advantages: theft is impossible, no space-time confusion like when meeting Thai boys, no time lost traveling (to your room).

That must have been a misunderstanding. But interesting question, that number naturally is much lower, between 10 and 20.

This story more and more reminds me of a Canadian who has gone blind (insider joke, only those who follow other gay Thailand forums will understand)

Enlighten me!

You are deluding yourself. When I pay for sex, it's all about me. If he enjoyed sex with me, I wouldn't have to pay him. However in the end sex with someone who is not into me quickly gets boring, that's why I take most (4 out of 5) moneyboys only once and then move on to the next. I'm in the school of thought that a moneyboy, gay or straight, doesn't care whom he has sex with as long as he gets paid, rare exceptions where the customer is the moneyboy's type excluded.

Already in Aug 2016: http://www.chiangmaicitylife.com/news/new-songtaew-routes-and-30-baht-fare-rise-proposed/ But agree with everything else you said. Based on several visits to Chiang Mai and all other bigger, medium and smaller cities (my current count of provinces I have visited - meaning stayed in a hotel over night - is 48), Chiang Mai is a pedestrian's nightmare. Together with Nong Khai which has no intra-city public transport at all, the worst I have encountered.

Did you feel safe? Is English spoken widely? Are there slim, hairless twinks available?

And there I was, expecting the first ever positive report of sex with a Vietnamese boy! Don't blame Screwboys as a bar, blame the boy, or even Vietnamese boys in general. If you have to blame Screwboys, blame them for hiring Vietnamese boys. But that will not deter me from going there again some day, just watch out who looks Vietnamese (no proof, but on my last visit there were three boys who were cute but looked Vietnamese, and who were chatting among each other, so I assumed they are Vietnamese). If in doubt, ask mamasan and tell her of my previous experience as a reason not to take Vietnamese boys. I said it before, my score is the following: 2 Vietnamese money boys both disappointing (for fairness, I had a Vietnamese boy for free in Bangkok and one in Saigon, and both were ok, so the problem is just the money boys) >5 Lao boys all better than the Thai >5 Khmer boys all better than the Thai >5 Myanmar boys all better than the Thai about 50 Thai boys full range from poor to good

I have been to the 5 operating sex cinemas combined about 20 times, not my style (neither did I see anyone I would want to have sex with, nor would I want to have sex in such a setting), but good they are there for those who like it. The Prince is still standing, but a construction site inside (the walls will remain?).

That would be a new low. I saw with my own eyes a boy stuffing tissue in his underwear in the locker room (via a mirror in the bar). And other reports about stuffed underwear.

I tried with a few boys, all in vain. In Germany we say "advice goes in one ear, out the other ear", is there a similar saying in English? A bit different from "casting pearls before swine" which is "play a violin for the buffalo" in Thai. My favorite story still is the boy in 2012 (?) whom I took for sightseeing for one day, then at Wat Benchamabophit gave him 1000 THB to thank him for his company (no sex!), asked him where he lives, checked in my bus map which bus goes there, put him on the bus stop, said goodbye and when looking back after walking 20 meter see him hailing a taxi. 3 days later he calls me on the phone, no "thank you", but "I spent all the 1000 THB, can I have more?". I can't change others, I can't even change myself in many point where I would like. I will not give or "lend" money if someone does not take my advice (like a Thai friend who earns around 20 kTHB per months, but sqaunders all of it - a common Farang friend thinks he gambles - and then asks me for "loans" - in fairness, after many reminders and months later, he pays back some of them - I told him to write down all his expenses like I do, so I can help him making the money last and even saving, but he doesn't, so I will not lend him any).

In my early years (2009-2013) I used to want LT, but now I'm fine with ST. Actually now I don't discuss LT or ST, nor do I talk about money, only if I boy is good at sex and just stays over night, it turns into LT. But most (4 out of 5) are not convincing in bed, so I won't off them again and wouldn't let them stay over night if they wanted. Only about 1 out of 20 boys is good enough during short time, and stays over night on his own volition. I have to answer all questions to participate in the poll, and the last "Do you prefer long time but end up doing short time as the guy you picked prefers short time ?" I answered "Sometimes" referring to my early years.

I had bed bugs in August in Myanmar. As I might stay at that place again, I will email them to do something about it. Details and picture of my bite marks here: http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2017/08/myanmar-aug-2017-various-impressions.html Research on the internet gave information as reported by others already. Upon return to Bangkok, I put all my clothes in a plastic bowl and pured boiling water (from water boiler for tea or coffee) over them to kill all bugs or eggs. Sansuk is rather more upscale than the place I stayed at, and I have never read or heard about bed bugs in Thailand before.

In the course of one hour, never more than 10 boys is poor. That is not the only time I went and they were low on boys. Admittedly, I usually go early (between 20 and 23), there might be more later. Still, for further visits keep in mind: have a close look first, and if low number and nobody sticking out, skip.
