ChristianPFC

I'm thinking about writing a book "The public transport in Thailand. Volume 1: Bangkok Volume 2: Provinces by Dr. ChristianPFC" but that's probably not what you had in mind. Well, I'm just reading a book about gay life in south-east Asian and found myself thinking "Boring. I could do better.".

I liked 22 Walks in Bankgok, Bangkok found and Mysterious Bangkok much better. Details here: http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2016/04/books-about-bangkok-history-and.html That indeed is a well-researched and presented article. I finally read "My Bangkok - City of Spirits" and it's not much better than the book. Similar inaccuracies as in the book, and I don't like the writing style. Hadn't it been a subject I'm interested, I wouldn't have read to the end.

I read the book and didn't like it. http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2016/04/books-about-bangkok-history-and.html That offer still stands.

Further on addresses: when I check into a hotel, I get their name card, better two, one to put in my left back pocket and one in my wallet. I once almost locked myself out of my room: changed trousers and left key in old trousers. Subconsciously, when leaving, I touched where the key would be, but it wasn't there. Now I put my key always in right back pocket and touch it with my right hand, before closing the door with my left hand.

Thank you for sharing your boyfriend's preferences. Now I know I'm not alone with my peculiarities. You boyfriend's peculiarities are purely mental, mine are purely physical. I don't care with whom, where, when, how often my sexual partner had sex with, but pay close attention to skin tone, temperature, body hair.

Interesting story and congratulations, could have made the trip impossible (if passport had been lost). I was not that lucky. I once forgot my bag in a taxi (Simplified, full story is that I was travelling with a farang friend, and I had umbrella, back pack and tote bag, and gave tote bag to FF and he forgot it when we got out. I never forgot or lost anything of importance.), and noticed minutes later, called their lost and found number, but didn't get the bag back. There was nothing of financial value in it, the most valuable item a 5000 mAh power bank. Opposite story. A Burmese friend who speaks very little English, but good Thai, came to stay with me over night after visiting Babylon sauna. He found a credit card there and gave it to me. I was pondering what to do, my friend was already sleeping, then I had an idea to search for the name on facebook (when I search my name on facebook, dozens come up, that's why it took me so long to get that idea). One name came up, and there were recent pictures from south-east Asia. I messaged him, and got a reply within minutes. He is in Silom Soi 4 and will go to Krabi tomorrow. I sent him my location and shortly later we met and I returned the credit card. On all my data carriers I have a file readme.txt in the root directory that has my contact details. When I fly, I put a paper with my address and travel details in my luggage. For everything else I should do the same, put information that allows to identify and contact me in everything that could get lost. Putting your own picture in your wallet, I read that somewhere on the internet and have been doing it since.

But there are plenty of Thai boys who have sex with others than their partners, and they all are doing it for the fun (+bonus money, those who have the money even pay to have sex outside their relationship). I can't follow your bf's argumentation. I don't care at all if my sexual partner is straight or gay, in a relationship or not. He can fuck his girlfriend/wife and I watch/touch and I pay 1000 for him/her/them. Or he fucks his girlfriend/wife and not get paid. Paying both is not an option I would offer.

I never looked at their website before, only now do I find it's well organized and visitor's questions are answered (precise answer in good English). They deserve praise for that! Usually, such websites are difficult to navigate and neglected.

If there ever was a recommendation, this is it! You mean Health Land Massage with several branches? The twinks, which branch?

Watch "boy fuck girl" is on my list as well. There seems to be a market for this. But I have read that prices for girls are higher than for boys (whereas drinks in girl bars are cheaper then in boy bars). But Thai boys probably don't have to pay tourist prices. Of course best would be to watch boy fuck his gf or wife, and just pay boy. I wonder how many gfs and wifes are up to this.

I have been twice, and for someone who isn't interested in beaches, the most interesting part of Koh Larn is the giant garbage dump. http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2015/11/koh-larn-revisited-nov-2015.html

Sad news. Another historical and architectural landmark will be replaces by an anonymous shopping mall / hotel / condo / whatever.

Looking forward to Numazu's Mexico reports, however there is no place to post them - we have only Gay Thailand and Gay Asia, there is no Gay World sub-forum.

The places mentioned above sometimes have one or two boys, sometimes have nobody at all. There is no place I would recommend for the tourist to go for street-trade. Whenever I pass those places, it's because I have other business nearby, and I don't expect to meet anyone interesting. I know a few boys who have no phone at all, or some weeks have a phone, some weeks don't have a phone, and change phone number ever time.

I thought long if I should post this, but this is the most creative use of English language on this forum this year. But don't let this prevent you from further posting, I can understand what you mean.

That was quite a trip, thank you for sharing. I was wondering if it should be in Thailand or Myanmar, and now Mexico as well! A friend once said "Heineken export is the lowest common denominator in world-wide taste of beer", and I apply this to my writing: the day everyone applauds me, I will stop because I have become bland. Every now and then, I like to offend the easily offended, ignorant and hypocrites! Nobody should take criticism on this forum too serious. People have different sensibilities, I didn't pay any further thought the pictures from the disco, other than checking if anyone is my type.

Lack of English has never prevented anyone from posting here, and I doubt vinapu will let poor English count as an excuse not to post a trip report. Anyway your English is not bad, I have read far worse here, and if you hadn't told us English is not your first language, I would not have guessed.

Nothing adventurous about VClub and Arena and Senso. But when looking at price list in Senso and VClub, you might be in for a shock.

If you can't beer seeing chicken being slaughtered and fish being killed, you should not go. Closest MRT station is Queen Sirikit National Convention Center; MRT Klong Toey is further away. Whatever is "best" depends on your taste. These topics "What is best ..." should be worded "I like ..., where should I go?" There is not that much choice for gay disco: Silom Soi 2, Fake, Sake, Welcome, Celebrity Club. For saunas see my blog or ask specific questions.

Exactly! But consider that there are people who like to overpay for mobile phones or cars, where tests say you can get similar performance/quality for half the price from a competitor.

I wouldn't. And that's the reason why I don't frequent expensive bars at all, and other bars in Bangkok Soi Twilight only a few times per year. I don't want to start negotiations with "In Pattaya, I pay 1000 for short time, would you go with me for 1000?". The answer would probably be "Then go to Pattaya!" and that's what I do! I can see no justification to pay someone more for the same service, just because he works in an expensive bar. Fortunately, my non-scene regulars in Bangkok whom I pay 500 don't know that I occasionally take boys from Pattaya gogo bars and pay them 1000, I wouldn't know how to justify.

I once observed a new boy (my estimation), fully clothed, entering a gogo bar, eyes wide as saucers when he the working boys on stage. And that was just the beginning of his new job! From experience, I would say there is no training at all for the boys. Take off your clothes, get on stage, that's it. Then it's just a matter of luck of the boy being willing and able to do this job, and having some first customers who teach him.

Absolutely! I take all my business to Pattaya nowadays, even including hotel and travel (by bus), it comes cheaper than going to Soi Twilight (from where I could take a boy back to my room in Bangkok).

That lady should have had a look at the prices, they are displayed outside but you have to know where to look, or better should have asked. But she is right, prices are outrageous. Some years ago, when Saranrom street trade was busy, I used to get boy from there for 500 Baht instead of paying 300 Baht (at that time) to look at boys.

There is a very affordable public bus from airport to town as well (don't remember details, but I took it in either direction in December).
