Hi guys, I am a long time lurker here and have enjoyed (some) of the give and take on this board and have picked up some valuable tips and insights.
After spending years (and years) enjoying the saunas of Brazil and Spain, a long time travelling friend of mine talked me into a trip to Thailand a few years ago. I knew that I wouldnt find my "type" here but wow...it was amazing...several days in Bangkok and Pattaya. We had a great time and we have returned once a year for the last 3 years. I have a fairly passive personality so I was fine just tagging along and letting my friend take the lead in all of our activities...which bars to visit, etc. Neither of us had any trouble finding all the company we wanted. I tend to be much more of a "home body" and reluctant to sit in a restaurant or bar alone than he does.
In 10 days I will be heading off to Thailand alone...and, while I know the ropes now, this will be my first trip flying solo. I know that I will hate sitting in a go-go bar (with few or no other customers) watching a stage full of beseeching/apathetic dancers. I know that I will hate that...but I'll be doing it, I suppose. I only have one type that I like....small, muscular/atheletic/macho...(hence the attraction to Brazil:)) but most of the bars have a couple that at least look the part. While in Bangkok I'm staying at the Rose Hotel and while in Pattaya the Cafe Royale. I've been checking out gayromeo for weeks, trying to identify alternatives to the bar (for at least during the day). I am assuming that it will so rainy that the beach will be out of the question.
Just a couple of questions....I dont want to be overpaying, as I have tended to do in the past. What would be a "generous" tip for a barboy in Bkk and in Pattaya? Also, any tips for gayromeo? The guys that I have had some contact with seem to have very limited English skills (and I have NO Thai skills). How specific should I been in specifying what I want? Hard body on body/wrestling/domination, etc. I suspect that is a put-off for most thais but I dont want there to be any disappoints in performance
Thanks for your help....I think that this forum is my best source for guidance.
