Bali. Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
As some of you already know I'm webmaster of siamroads.com. I have similar thread at GT quite long time.
This thread will be used for to update info and to introduce to you new destinations, news and boys. Some of members already are their clients and are welcome to write feedback. Questions are welcome also (here or in PM).
Here in thread I will use word "we" which will means "me and boys, our team". With time boys will register personal accounts here also and you will have possibility to talk with them.
2 notes:
- my English is quite poor
- if you will find this topic boring - just skip it :)
How it started.
About 8 years ago me and BF were in Bangkok near Wat Arun and got trouble in communication with seller of tickets at pier. Next in line boy helped us to buy ticket and late we found him at the same boat. We had chat, he told his name is V. he si student of tourism and hospitality faculty in UNI, and rest of the day he spend with us for to show Bangkok. Then was dinner and after dinner V. gave us his phone number in case we will need assistance in future. He declined to take money for help.
We made call to him over a day and V. agreed to spend day with us in zoo and evening in Silom area, where then we found he is gay also :) We gave each other profiles names at Romeo. When me and BF were in our country in chat at Romeo V. told what he wants to start guiding for practice and for to earn some pocket money. As a gift I made website for him to his birthday. You can see it at http://bkk-tours.com/ But V. already is moved out since he is living in UK. Before leaving Thailand V. introduce us his friend L. who has been glad to be part-time guide also :) So I made small changes at site - phone number, facepic and kept site on-line.
to be continued ...

I'll continue:
In 2.5 years L. finished UNI also and left Bangkok for to work in family business at the South of Thailand, but before his leaving L. gave us "new contact" :) It was Samit - you can see him at old site. Also shortly after Samit's start we met in Om Yim guesthouse very professional receptionist Ya, who also made decision to join bkk-tours.com for part-time work. Since that time team of guides started to grow: one by one Ohh, Gus and Mac joined team in Bangkok, Nick in Pattaya (here is different story, may be I will tell it at another time).
Now small teaser:
in few days we will announce new location. To follow this thread please use "Thread Tool" on the top of this topic - white menu right on top of first post - and click "subscribe" :)

Yaya got nice reference from recent client:
Quote:
Ya has been my guide and companion for the last 4 days and I could not be more happy with his services. He is a very knowledgeable person both in history and in showing the right spots according to my wishes. He has also included me in several outings to dinners, bars and clubbing, all feeling very close to hanging out with a mate. And finally, he has always been available with quick replies whenever I have been in need of some advice. I wholeheartedly recommend Ya as a companion/guide.

The photographs are simply stunning. And the ones of Halong Bay don't lie. Fishing for squid there off the side of a boat at midnight is a deathbed memory.

Ya is a wonderful guide with a huge amount of local and historical knowledge that he loves to share with great passion.
Ya devised a personalised trip for me based on a few ideas I had for spots off the beaten track. He took me to places I wouldn't have been able to find without him such as hidden temples, the old city, an authentic Pad Thai shop with tamarind noodles and a walk along some amazing khlongs.
Don't hesitate to book Ya. You'll feel like you're exploring the spectacular city of Bangkok with a friend. I'll contact you when I'm next in Bangkok
Ya! Thank you again.

When this guy does get hired, I suppose he's getting several times the Vietnamese average daily salary. And good luck to him for showing some initiative.
Personally, I'll make do with google, LP and my gps phone as travel guides. $35 a day saved.

One year ago I already answered to such reply :) So I will just copy and paste :)

Guides are not for navigation :) Also they are not only guides, but concierge, translators and "scam protectors"
Google maps can't show you interesting places (at least can't suggest) if places aren't on main "touristic roads", it can't tell you "avoid this crowded place", can't say on local language "I insist to use meter" in taxi, can't call to local theater and reserve seat, and for sure can't offer to spend 2-3 days in real local village home :)
With navigation you can easy find place if you know about him, but navigation can't help you when you don't know about that place exist, also navigation nor google map can't help you to plan visits.

Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
I used SiamRoads for guide service in May in Bangkok and will meet up with Ya in September for a trip to Pattaya. He's meeting me at th airport and will give me a part day overview and then let me go on my own. Mac was my guide in May and did an excellent job. Ya had been detailed in making the arrangements for the May visit and the upcoming September visit.

Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
For someone who is capable of that type of work, $35 per diem is not an outrageous amount here in Vietnam. Sure it's more than most people make, but most people aren't good looking, able to interact with foreigners or provide extensive and reliable guide services. It's still early days in the Vietnamese tourism sector and having someone like Phi on hand would be a very pleasant way to explore the country.

Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
I am probably 100% wrong..but seems like there must be or might be, some type of sexual matters going on between some guides and customers...they are all gay...great looking,,,again I am probably wrong, but??

Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
geez, I didnt wanna say as I'll no doubt be accused of fabricating stuff up.....but the ads and pics are all very " extra services available" of so required. Makes me wanna go on a very long bike ride too.

I'm not suggesting by the way that that is the purpose of your travel service Moses, I'm SURE it's not ( and I really mean that) but of course what happens between a guide and a customer once the days touring is complete, well, that's totally between and up to themselves of course I would assume :) - but it just shouldn't be "expected".

Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
reading a bit more into this the service appears to be excellent and something I would definitely avail myself of. brsides even if no sex is involved it would be nioce to spend time with a good looking guy. Not long ago i did a bicycle tour of Bangkok including some slums, we even crossed the river to some real rural land, the bike company (owned by a Dutchman) supplied the tour guide. He was stunning and upon realising that we were all gay (I was there with my partner and 2 gay friends) he made it known that he was available for extra services.
-
Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
NIRISH GUY...Your right...I totally agree with you...But, the guides are gay...The owners of this service have NO idea
what goes on between the guides and the customer...whether some type sex is involved or not...maybe they WANT to enjoy together
for free,,or if money is involved...that is life.....but to say the guides DO NOT engage,,is just not proven.....anyway, just my thoughts,,,
-
Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
I am sure the wording on the site is essential to fulfil certain legal requirements - or at least to avoid any possible difficulties with officers of the law! I'm sure also the guides are perfectly capable of saying 'no' pr 'yes' depending on what they would like to do. In any case, with their local knowledge, they will be able to get their patrons to bars and clubs where others will be able to satisfy their desires.
-
Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
I'm sure you're spot on there FH. Ha although re your "I'm sure they can direct you " etc etc, I might perhaps be more concerned that the LAST thing some would want to do is to direct you to the (gay) bars / best pick up joints just in case they lose THEIR customer ! :-)
But just like the guides I'm sure we''re all seasoned travellers and well enoughto know when we're being played along for someone else's own purposes - aren't we ? :-)
( The above IS just a light hearted remark by the way and not a slant on any of Moses tour guides, one of which at least I am sure will take very good care of you if you ask and play nicely :-)
-
Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
Having hired gay tour guides times in different cities, I've found them uniformly knowledgeable and entirely professional on company time. Off the clock, and at my own invitation, it has been a different story. But that has been as much the case with straight tour guides, as well :-)

This was my first time in Asia, so I decided to get a tour guide because I wasn’t sure what to expect.
I’m happy I did! Not only did we do touristy things, but Mac completely submerged me into his culture. He showed me where the locals hang out, all the hotspots. Mac is completely knowledgeable about all the landmarks and sites. He knows where all the deals are if you are looking to buy things. It paid for itself with the amount of money we saved in cab fare alone.
I’m glad I got meet Mac and I can’t wait to go back! The people are wonderful, the food is amazing, and overall I made a friend!!!

Re: Gay guides and travel companions. SiamRoads.com
Totally agree about Mac and his approach to immersing his clients in his love for his culture. He was my guide last May.
