Just curious to know if anyone has some updates about Saranrom? Are there still boys available there for 500 baht?
Business as usual, 500 Baht. Starts slowly around 9 pm and gets busy 10 pm. A lot of walking for me (don't like to drive by by taxi). I spot around 30 boys in one round. High turnover, if you see someone cute, take him. Check ID for age before taking back to hotel. Details of encounters see my blog.
oh dear where's the pricing nazis....500bht for a " boy" ..imagine the scandal..the abuse...gasp....u taking advantage of the poor downtrodden locals.
Thanks Chris,
What about the boys selection last time you went? (Not in term of numbers since u already elaborated those but physically what they look like) is it always the same or?

By all means you can "hunt" all over Christian's blog to find all his Saranrom news...........
........... alternatively you could take the radical option of typing "saranrom" the search box at top left of the page.....
:))
After following that process I found the content interesting and recommend it. That's an aspect of Bangkok I don't know-- only know about. Always a pleasure to expand the horizon.
I don't know Christian from Christ so I can speak objectively. I spent a fair amount of time perusing the blog, enjoyed it, and will be back.
Ah, but to know ChristianPFC is to love him chillnorther. I see from your comments that that glorious, dare I say, spiritual experience still awaits you.Quote:

;)
Actually just wondering how that would work anyway, trying to explain to a taxi driver to drive around and pick up boys.
(As most customers are driving around ?) Alternatively to have taxi driver drop you off and you hail another taxi to take you to a hotel nearby?
Hoping there are plenty of empty taxis cruising around in the area of the park.
Too much needs explained when you have never seen the area in question except by map.
I suppose the ultimate irony would be to spend a fortune on a smartphone and data plan just to get google street view so you could pick up guys at the park cheaper that at the bars!Quote:

If you tell the taxi driver р╕лр╕▓р╣Ар╕Фр╣Зр╕Б h─Гa d├иk (literally: look for child, but here meaning look for prostitutes (of legal age)), he will probably drive you around slowly, then stop when there are boys standing on the sidewalk, so they can come to your window and you can negotiate. I witnessed this many times, but it's not my style, I walk around.
I have been with the one or other Farang friend. There is a large variety of boys, but some days might be slow business.
Posts about Saranrom are labelled as "street trade" and/or "Saranrom" on my blog. Last year I made some posts dedicated to the park like http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2014/0 ... 82014.html
this year only some lines in "gay activities of the month".
To me it sounds like AYOR , but have fun if you can.
Seeing as the posts here are from 2015, any news on saranrom? Is it still the place to go and if so which area exactly?
From my rare drive-pasts (on the way home from Sake disco), there is some trade left, and it looked promising. It seems to concentrate to the area on both sides of the canal south of "City Walk" (gay restaurant / bar on Atsadang road).
If you are going to pay, go to Pattaya. If you are looking for free encounters, online.
(At least that's what working best for me at the moment. Others might prefer saunas (free), massage (pay), discos (free), or are happy to pay the prices most Bangkok gogo bars now ask for.)
So, let me get this right, so you're going to Bkk ( for the first time??) for just 4 nights and you're thinking of intending to spend your limited and very valuable time there cruising street trade around Sananrom Park in the hope of finding a twink there rather than hitting the bars / go go's etc where you're guaranteed to find same ?
That is a good point especially if the chances are good at the bars. But It is my second time and last time I saw the massage places and all the guys were very muscular (and seemd to me to be in their late 20s). That is why I am hoping to find out what's a sure bet for the limited time I have.
Saranrom is absolutely not for newbies. Some nights there is only little trade, and you will be disappointed not finding anyone to your taste. Most of the boys speak no or poor English.
It’s amazing how much you can catch with just a single fishing rod if you use the right bait
Regarding go-go bars, for twinks or otherwise, in Pattaya there are only two areas. One is Boyztown and the other is Sunee Plaza. There are only 4 go-go in Sunee Plaza and 6 or so in Boyztown, so easy to check them all out.
In Sunee Plaza, Winner Bar is good for twinks and Nice Boys is not good for twinks. In Boyztown, Cupidol is good for twinks and BoyzBoyzBoyz is not good.
The other bars are mixed and there are always exceptions.
Message houses are in Boyztown (not twinky), Jomtien Complex (mixed) and Day-Night Area (twinky).
Others may have differing opinions.

This is Bangkok. Go to the hotel desk and show where you want to go on a map and have them write in Thai telling the taxi driver where to go. Twice the hotel staff went with me to the street, called a taxi and told them just where I wanted to go and what I wanted him to do!
Remembering this is Bangkok, the funniest time was when the hotel staff person was telling the taxi driver where to go but the driver wanted to go the opposite direction - to home he said. A police man came along and informed the driver that in Bangkok the driver must take me where I wanted to go and told the driver exactly what to do! The driver did well!
wondering if Saranrom is on one of those tours from Malaysia Hotel car service...
Grand Palace is on the list and the old guy must have seen everything by now being the Malaysia
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet but many of the guys at this park are just privates from the nearby barracks wanting to have spending money for the weekend.
sounds like a porn movie script
And who wouldn't want to be part of that script? A hot young military guy that loves a quick roll in the hay for a thousand baht.
BUT (seriously), is this the kind of place where the risk - outdoor cruising - is just a bit toooooo dangerous? or are we talking relatively a safe spot to find a diamond in the rough??
With the apps on phones I am not sure why younger Thai guys would be cruising I assume (wrongly?) that it would be easier to download an app and cruise online. Why would they bother to walk around a park or any public space trying to meet up or hook up for baht?
Just curious is anyone has thoughts. I currently live in the US and from what I can tell the old cruising spots (public parks, rest stops along expressways) are not very busy as the apps are safer and more efficient.
