BKK brief observations...
landed on friday evening after dreadful China Southern flight....why are the seats sooo small and hard...
Amount of willing and able MB on Grindr undiminished...3 down...lots more to go...averaged cost BHT 960
Love what they've done to the Malaysia hotel's alfresco dining area...as well as the cosmetic upgrade to the rest of the hotel...

Re: BKK brief observations...
I will be in BKK 22 May and was thinking of booking a few nights at the Malaysia. More out of habit. I have not been in BKK for 2 years. What are the changes made to the hotel? As an aside some 25+ years ago when I first ventured to Thailand the Malaysia was so much fun. Mostly because of the MB who congregated in the cafe. That is long gone and I guess they are trying to upgrade the hotel and its image. Ah..fond memories.

Re: BKK brief observations...
I loved the little outdoor eating area with the fish pond to watch. Hope that is still there.
-
Re: BKK brief observations...
Small cosmetic upgrades. Outdoor dining area enlarged by removing most of the fish pond and garden that took up most of one wall. Corridors leading to rooms repainted, new faster elevator, my room has new floor.
And yes not a single mb to be seen loitering. But don't despair, Grindr and Babylon more than compensate.

Re: BKK brief observations...
What about BKK itself in terms of busy or not ?
My fairing mate went for songkran and after the main partying was over said Bkk emptied and died ( as is usual of course but he said way more than is usual) and likewise he's in Pattaya just now and is saying exactly the same thing re there with bar owners etc saying it's the worst they seen it in 16 years ( Strangely they put that exact number on it too apparently ?? He sent me a pic of himself sitting outside one of the bars in Boystown at 1am on this Friday evening past there and he was about the only customer and the boys that where dotted around the shot were all sitting looking bored out of their minds and half of them on their phones ( no doubt on Grindr trying to FIND a customer). He did say that grindr was busy and he'd no problems sitting laid but in terms of entertainment and having a bit of fun and enjoyment out at night etc he said it was dead ?
Oh by the way as seems to be the norm now on the board you will of course have to produce a pic, let say with a bar menu from Soi 4, complete with a used money boy looking angry that he's just been used and underpaid and hmmmm lets see oh yes, the bridle reins for a small pony, others may require you to add to that list just to be sure to be sure but personally I think that would be sufficient for now..... :-)

Re: BKK brief observations...
Thank you NIrish. Currently to be found somewhere in Europe salivating at his planned (solo) trip to Thailand and the ready and eager boys that await him there.
-
Re: BKK brief observations...
yeah...telephone bar / balcony car real busy, packed in fact. Babylon was also really busy. Soi twilight was quiet. Think the high prices and crappy shows are putting people off...maybe the news has finally filtered through that its a bit of a rip off.
Staying at the sukothai (really nice place...pool is as big as the ocean) and its soooo quiet...dont know how they turn a profit....vast dining /bar areas and all empty.

Re: BKK brief observations...
First the details of the "upgrade" to the Malaysia Hotel, including the floor of your room there.

They had some monster fish / serpent (or two) living in this pond. I wonder what happened to them? Did they die? Did they release them into the waters around Lumpini Park? These things were frightening, when they would feed them...I never got a good look at them, but they were big and had probably been in there for years.

You're smart enough to know the answer; they are made for CHINESE!

Re: BKK brief observations...
Whenever I'm looking for flights I see that China Southern are the cheapest airline flying from Europe to Asia - often just over £300 - they're the long haul Ryanair.
It seems Poxxxy chooses his airline on the same basis he chooses his prostitutes
:D

Re: BKK brief observations...
Brad...quite right...I was at the Malaysia initially as it was the weekend and I was PAYING...then moved into the Sukhothai on sunday morning work is now picking up the tab. This is not new, in the past I've broadcast the fact that cheap and cheerfull is my preferred option when I'm paying.
Surf....fishpond is real small now, there is ony 1 turtle left and some really small fish. In my opinion the alresco area has been improved, looks cleaner and lighter. One of the " improvements" that Im not so hot on is a huge hideous bronze horse in the entrance driveway....
Scotty...quite correct...price rules...why should your nation be the only tightwads....whether its a ride on a plane or a MB's arse I need to get the lowest cost for the longest ride....at least I'm consistent.

Re: BKK brief observations...
Spent most of sunday at Babylon...very pleasant...had 2 very satisfactory anal encounters. Retired to my room at 6 and napped until 8...woke up feeling reenergised and to several " invites" on grindr.
Engaged a massage boy....20/gym fit/ I do everything....couodnt have asked for more...he was as advertised...certainly did everything...beautiful flawless smooth milky coloured skin...amazing bubble butt and pecs with prominent nipples....total cost including an above average massage BHT 1100....
Love this place....

The seats in CS business class are neither small nor hard. As apparently you're there for work I am curious why they stuffed you into cattle class? No need to bother us with a convoluted 'explanation." I think we can work it out.

Re: BKK brief observations...
arsehole ..not fair that you do a trump on me...throw out an accusation/insinuation and then flounce away ladyboy like.....answer is simple...for this particular job (am auditing 2 separate companies) I received a travel allowance....so I kept the difference ...it was worth almost USD1500......not to be sneezed at. Hell for USD1500 I would stand in the plane toilets for the 11 hours it took.

Mmm. This too is very interesting. A travel allowance. From the two separate companies or just the one? And neither/or one has asked for a receipt from you? They/It just handed over $xxx and you kindly agreed to halve the costs for them. Or not if it's only the one payment. More curious by the day. This sleuthing is fun, I can see why a447 loved it.

Re: BKK brief observations...
Travel allowances are very common. You get say $150/night for accomadation, another $60/day for food, etc. Happens all the time.
-
Re: BKK brief observations...
From two companies, at the same time which is what Latin is claiming? I don't think so Matt. Receipts, taxable income, company paying for one thing and 'employee' using it to buy something else. This happens all the time. Where?

And the rest, Matt. Any employee travelling for a multinational or a First World government gets multiples of those amounts. A friend of mine visits multiple overseas clients for his large multinational consulting company employer at a time and gets his accommodation paid for (5-star hotels only a minimum) together with "meals & incidentals" allowances of several hundred dollars a day. You only have to look at various tax office web sites to see what they deem to be a "reasonable overseas travel allowance"
His employer then claws back the travel allowance in what the clients get charged. I'm guessing latintopx's boys easily paid for out of his daily allowance. If you've never been on that gravy train you've no idea how you're missing out
-
Re: BKK brief observations...
I'm assuming your friend works in the financial industry, or similar?
I've been trated very generously by clients before, but I've never been on the "gravy train", although my dad has. He was an executive for ExxonMobil, and last 8 years of his career were overseas assignments, so I know how well they can get trated. Exxon are cheap cunts though, so it wasn't the kind of money you're talking about, but nonetheless, he was taken very good care of.

As I said - one of the major consulting companies. Think McKinsey or Boston Consulting Group - that sort of thing. But senior government bureaucrats are similarly well-treated. I have no doubt latintopxxx is reflecting his own situation accurately

Re: BKK brief observations...
Well if Freakys' description applies to Latin, currently scrunched up in steerage on China Southern then something is amiss somewhere.

Re: BKK brief observations...
Sorry to disappoint. I'm a free lancer. Do quality audits, not financial. Some of my work is regular in that there are several companies that book me to carry out audits on a regular basis. This particular gig was through an agency. They give me a travel allowance, daily allowance and a reasonable hotel including breakfast. So unfortunately no double dipping. However what I economise with my travel and daily allowance is in the region of USD 2700. Not exactly a kings ransom but not bad for a 10 day trip.
-
Re: BKK brief observations...
I only have one real question for latin. I'm expected that after your audits, you're expected to provide a full report, correct? Do you write these these reports in the same style that you write oists here? I mean, with total avoidance of the English language, proper grammer or syntax, constantly using "....." every 5 works, etc.?
Or are you actually capable of writing properly, and just turn into an illeterate idiot idiot when you post here?

The pot calling the kettle black.
But back to the OP. The changes at the alfresco dining area and fish pool are recent and hitherto unreported as far as I know. There is a pretty good chance Latintopxxx has really been there, alternatively he knows someone who has and provided him with that information.

Try China Southern Business or Premium Economy Class next time. It's the best.
Mind you, you yourself must show a bit of class sitting there ... which will probably be a very tough nut for you.
