Nicholas Parsons. He's been doing it for fifty years so we might as well get his name right!

I see no requirement. I see requests.
I look at people like that and smile with a bit of condescending pity at the small minds of the authoritarian types who insist others follow their imaginary rules.
The March of the Pedants. Where's the music for that?

My Way was my favourite Bangkok bar for years in the '90s. While other bars were becoming interchangeable in appearance, it had its own unique, rather cosy atmosphere - wooden Thai seating, Burmese tapestries, pole-dancing gogo boys. I went there often especially after I became very attached to one of the boys. The bespectacled Thai (Thai-Chinese?) owner always sat impassively behind the bar entering every drink and off into a ledger. I'd get the faintest of smiles from him in response to my nod on entering. He seemed almost like a non-person to me, though the boys seemed to respect him. I recall the boy I liked telling me with an incredulous look one time that he had received a 50 baht New Year's gift from the owner - not sure if that was because of the stinginess of the amount or its existence at all.
The other source of discipline in the bar back then was Charlie, the overweight mamasan. I'd go through an elaborate charade of being friendly with him, though he was one dodgy-looking geezer and I wouldn't have trusted him with a bucket of water if my knickers were on fire. The boys were expected to service him. I recall my boy telling me with a big smile that it was like fucking a fat pig (well, he was from a farming family). The last time I saw Charlie, after an interval of two or three years, he looked almost unrecognisably gaunt and sick and I believe he died of Aids. The bar did indeed go rapidly downhill in its last years and it came as no surprise when I found it had closed permanently.
Having read the above I regret not being more relaxed there but I was new to the BKK scene so I was always a bit nervous going in.
I recall standing in the doorway enquiring if my 'boy' was inside.
If he was the mamasan would say so straight away.
If not she would never say so but would invite me to come inside and look.
He/She may have been the one you referred to.

No, unlike so many who post on this forum, I do not have OCD.I do like to hear from the OP as to his reactions to the post he made and the responses. There are those who deliberately go off topic in order to blow their own horn for no other reason than to divert attention to themselves. And there are a couple of bedlamites who's motives defy explanation.:crazy_mini:
Re: WTF in Jomtien Complex
Are bedlamites related to sodomites, just preferring to do it in bed?

The OP was wondering what everyone else does for ST at Jomtien Complex?
I was considering renting a hotel nearby, but I have no assurance that the particular boy would be there, and I was more curious than anything as a reason to barfine.
