Bangkok report April 2018
I arrived at Suwanaphumi around 11:30 am. Along the way to Immigration I managed to get past a number of Chinese tour groups but when I reached the entry my heart sank. There were at least 6 more groups ahead of me.
Damn! I'll never get out of here.
My spirits were lifted - actually, they positively soared - when I saw a sign stating that Immigration now has a "vision." Thank god for that. Their "vision" will save the day!
But they appear to have developed cataracts. If they really had a vision they'd be dispatching immigration officers up to Chinese airports to process the tourists before they arrive. Either that, or create a dedicated immigration area for them. But TIT so this just continue on as per usual.
They also have a new mission statement, represented by the letters S.M.A.R.T.
Each letter stands for something but the writing was too small to be read by anyone without a telescope. That may have been deliberate, because if we could read it, they would have to actually carry out the mission. Best keep it hidden.
It took over an hour to get through. Only half the booths were manned. But luckily, many of the tour group members seemed disorganised and were standing aside filling in their immigration forms, thus allowing others to get past them.
Against my better judgement I decided to take a taxi into town instead of the train - I figured at 1pm there shouldn't be a lot of traffic. At first the wasn't, and the driver was able to slam it into first gear and put his foot down. But once out of the taxi zone we ran straight into a massive traffic jam.
It took over an hour to reach Silom.
My guy was patiently waiting for me at the hotel and we want straight up to the room after check-in and got down to business. He wasn't in town during my last visit so it's been 6 months since we last met. We had a lot of lost time to make up and he put in a remarkable performance. He was perhaps spurred on by the fact that as soon as he entered the room I gave him a bottle of his favourite eau de toilette. After we'd finished and showered he gave me a nice squirt - the second for the day! LOL
Tonight I went to the show at Moonlight, which has opened in the old Jupiter Bar off Suriwong.
After buying a 400 baht drink ticket at the entrance I was ushered to my seat. The bar was quite full, but not with Chinese women as I had expected, but with Asian men.
I arrived as the first show was in full swing. Six muscle guys were showing off their bodies but to be honest, only two look as though they'd seen the inside is a gym. Nothing to see here.
The next act consisted of about 20 guys "dancing.". Now these guys are all 100% straight - no fems here - and we know straight guys can't dance to save themselves. They were uncoordinated, awkward and self-conscious but it was really very entertaining. You don't need cock to be entertained. (I can't believe I just wrote that!) They were all having a great time on stage together, laughing and joking their way through the dance sequence, and that's what made it so refreshing and entertaining.
This was followed by a guy from China who appeared on stage in high heels and bondage gear. He was a pole dancer, and a very skilled one at that. But he was rather unattractive and the heavy make-up couldn't hide a face pock-marked by acne. Most unfortunate.
Still no cock. But never fear, we now had a stripper on stage. And right at the end we got a glimpse of his large appendage.
The last act was the big cock show.
After the show only 5 guys came back on stage; I'm guessing all those others just do the show. Although they are my type, I didn't find them in any way attractive. In fact, I only saw one guy I'd describe as handsome and he was sitting with a customer. The boys were ill-fitting red shorts which do them no favours.
At one stage I turned around to find that the customers who had been sitting behind me had all left - I was one of 5 still in the bar, so with that I got up and left.
I like the layout of the bar; it's quite small and compared to the Soi Twilight bars, I found it very intimate.
But I don't think I'll be back.
I walked past Soi Twilight to and from Moonlight, and given that it was a Saturday night, the crowd was very disappointing. For the first time I could stand at the head of the soi and get a clear view of Classic Boys.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
Well, apart from that Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the show? Perhaps the most depressing report of a first night in Bangkok I've read. I hope things improve for a447 tomorrow.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
The last time I left Bangkok the departure hall only had one side operating so it took twice as long and was a close run thing to catch the plane. Again, the majority were Chinese. I sent an e-mail to AoT. I explained that the Chinese go into panic mode extremely quickly and from there into stampede. I have yet to receive a reply.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
Arsenal, you should have included in the e-mail a video clip of "panic mode and stampede" for the benefit of the airport authority.

That’s funny, because I was on Soi Twilight last night too and for me, it was definitely Friday night. I am still looking forward to my Saturday night bar hoping. And I’m sure it’s still March....
I visited Dream Boys, which was not at full capacity for their 10:30 show. About 70% full and lacking the usual mass of Chinese visitors. Still a good bunch of gogo boys on stage; 65 according to the MC. Later, I went up to XSize and was the only customer at 11:40. But 3 other punters and two couples entered later on, 2 left with an off, although I did not. The boys even put on a 5-act show for the few of us still there at 12:30.
Drinks were B500 in Dream Boys and B400 at XSize but I gave the B100 change to the waiter as I have seen him around in various bars for many years and he is looking very thin these days.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
I met up with a couple of guys from the forum tonight. To my complete surprise, they told me today was Saturday, not Sunday. So minimee, now your post makes sense.
When you are not working you lose track of the days, as you don't need to be anywhere on a specific day.
And as I retired early and haven't worked for years, I never know what day it is!
Apologies for the mistake.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
The story so far :
I arrived in Bangkok, apparently on Friday, got fucked and went to a new bar.
The story continues here :
After an energetic afternoon session with my friend, I accompanied him back to his bar as he said one of the guys wanted a chuck-wow.
Sure. No probrem.
In I go, out it comes, off we go and out it comes.
The sticky mess reminded me of something - the mango and sticky rice dessert at Jim Thompson! So off I went to the restaurant on Suriwong, just around the corner from the bar. It was delicious. It's the only time I'll eat rice which has been sweetened.
Later in the evening I met up with two board members and we went out for dinner at Dicks. I don't know about them, but I had a great time chatting and listening to stories about the various paths they have taken in life. We all have a life story to tell and theirs were very interesting.
Afterwards, we all headed off in different directions. Having just discovered that it was a Saturday night I first thought about going back to Moonlight Bar. I originally went there to see their show, which received high praise on another board. I left disappointed. But like many other bars, maybe they keep the best shows for Saturday nights when the crowds tend to be bigger,
But I decided to go to Golden Cock, where I can enjoy my own private show. After the last customer left, my friend locked the door and stood guard outside so that the fun could begin inside.
Six guys sat with me and it was drinks and cock all around. One guy I met back in January was very shy at the time. He would watch the proceedings but never take part, his cock staying well and truly ensconced in his pants. But this time it was in my face the moment he heard the click of the door lock. Don't you just love quick learners?
He's a lovely guy but unfortunately, doesn't speak a word of English. My Thai is limited to "Hello, what's your name? Where you from? You wanna chuck-wow?" That's about it. But he seems to think I'm fluent and just rattles on in Thai. I do the Asian thing and just sit there nodding and smiling, with a "Really? How interesting!" look on my face. Last night I think he was talking about his family. But then again, he could have been giving me the weather report. No idea.
But when you get down to business, you let your hands do the talking. Here a chuck, there a chuck, everywhere a chuck chuck.
Heaven!
But not all endings are happy, as I realised when presented with the bill. Oh dear, after handing out the well-deserved tips, I discovered that I didn't have enough money. How embarrassing! "No probrem" - I could pay the rest tomorrow. But I wasn't having that so I went back to the hotel to get the rest. I like to settle my bills there and then.
I'm back at the Tarntawan, and I'm regretting it already. It's the only hotel I've ever stayed at where I feel bullied by the cleaning staff. They knock on the door at some ungodly hour wanting to clean my room. There have been times when I've been asleep and didn't hear them knocking. I'd awake to find them at the foot of my bed! They'd just opened the door and barged in unannounced!
On a couple of occasions I'd asked them to wait 5 minutes, quickly threw on some clothes, vacated the room and went downstairs. I went back 45 minutes later, only to find the room hadn't been cleaned!
No use complaining to the staff, as they don't speak English. But surely they could tell by the look on my face that I was very, very unhappy. Last time, I complained to the manager who apologised profusely.
But TIT. Nothing has changed.

Isn't that standard procedure in a hotel unless you have put a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door? It doesn't always work for my neighbours when I stay in hotels. If they have disturbed my sleep I make sure the sign on their door always reads "Make up my room now" when I go down to my early breakfast.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
In the hotels I frequent, it is not "standard procedure" for cleaning staff to walk in when the customer is sleeping. Cleaning staff know which rooms are occupied and which are not.
At the Tarntawan there is no "Do not disturb" sign to hang on the door.
There is a push-button electronic "sign" outside the door but in all my years I've stayed here it has never worked.
The staff want me to fit into their schedule. Sorry, I'm paying so they fit into mine. The manager told me the staff are in attendance all day, so any time during the day should be ok.
I used to give them a generous tip, but anyone who knocks on the door at 9 am gets nothing.

I must admit, a447, you had me doubting myself for one minute on Saturday morning until I checked my phone calendar. But as someone who was obliged to take early retirement, I do understand how it is possible, when not in work, to mix up your days, as one day merges easily into the next. These days, I look at an actual calendar and my phone calendar more than I ever did when I was in gainful employment.

It was a pleasure meeting you and the other forum member last night, a447. And glad we were able to re-set your body clock. ;)
After the dinner, you may have noticed I took quite a fancy to some of the ‘Soi Twilight’ masseurs, as we exited from the soi. I really must get myself back there early next week and make the most of my remaining time in Thailand.

Blimey! One moment you are mild mannered Clark Kent, sitting enjoying an evening meal, engaging in polite conversation with two other forum members, then following a quick change in a telephone box and, violà, you are turned into Captain Australia wielding a rod of iron and taking on all cumers!
And I was glad to hear that like a true Lannister, you paid your debts.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
Since the OP has now figured out which day of the week it is and since it was Saturday night last night (but it was still March) I’ll provide a further report on my visit:
I started the evening on Soi 4 with a light meal at The Balcony. The Soi was as busy as ever with a continuous procession of humanity enjoying the scene. There was some sort of anniversary event on at Stranger Bar, which made it even busier than usual.
Moving on to Jupiter 2018, where the price at the door is still B300 and a second drink is just B150, it represents very good value and equivalent to ‘2-for-1’ pricing when compared to Soi Twilight bars. The show was up to the usual Jupiter quality with maybe 50 boys, all conforming to to the Jupiter standard with clean-cut athletic physiques, many of whom participate in the brilliantly choreographed dance numbers. The star of the show for me is #55 who does a fantastic solo performance of that old classic ‘The Stripper’ with amazing stage presence and an....err....outstanding finale!
I watched both shows at Jupiter but, feeling that the night was still young I headed over to Soi Twilight, which seemed quite busy at 12:00, and was persuaded to go upstairs to HotMale by the persistent but friendly barker, who I know well. The bar had about 20 customers and 20 boys on stage. I chatted with my favorite waiter and we were joined by Bon, a cute Lao boy who I also know well from previous visits. They put on a bit of a show at 12:30 with a bit of Coyote dancing thrown in.
We then headed over to Soi 2 which was heaving with party people and the air thick with cigarette smoke. We fought our way inside DJ for a breath of fresh air! After an hour of bumping and grinding on the dance floor and on the second floor which was busy with MBs, we flowed out onto the street at 2:00am when the music died. We then grabbed some snacks from the street vendors who are there to meet the needs of hundreds of hungry boys, before retiring to my hotel to satisfy a different hunger.
Another typical Saturday night in Silom: Eat, Sleep, Rave, repeat.

Well now frequent obviously you and I stay at a different class of hotel. And I never tip hotel staff. There's a well known definition about people who repeat the same action but expect a different result; perhaps you should choose a different hotel. I can recommend Le Meridien across the road.

I am happy that you enjoyed Jupiter show.
However for those reading your report and take notes for future visit to the bar, I would like to point out that the performer of the ‘The Stripper’ is #88 Aek, cute handsome faced boy with awesome six pack and ‘outstanding finale’ enormous erected cock.
#55 name is Arm who is taller than Aek does some brilliant shows too and is the most popular boy in Jupiter.
Incidentally #88 Aek is very popular with Asian female followers but the rumour says he flat out refuse to be offed by women saying ‘I am gay!’
After rejected the offer of 10,000B for the off, one female customer cried “Why are you gay!?” lol

Le Meridien was at its best in 2016 when they had an exceptionally helpful and handsome tall Dutch trainee on reception who was on placement from a European Hotel Management School. He was always immaculately dressed in a dark suit which failed to disguise that his corporate hospitality skills were not his only exceptional asset. He would always look you in the face with a warm welcome as you entered the lobby and it was a struggle to look him back in the face without glancing downwards at the tantalising outline that could be clearly seen below. I’m sure he will go far in his hotel management career - he was a real talent.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
It seems that the Vietnamese boys in soi Twilight have departed to be replaced with Burmese boy. One was mightily impressed that I could name three cities in Burma. I should have offed him.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
I fail to underatand your problems with the cleaners at the Tarntawan.
I stayed there twice this year and had absolutely no problems whatsoever. I slept in two or three times due to late finishes/ jet lag and merely hanged the sign on the door and used the electronic selector next to the bed...”do not clean room”.
I was never disturbed and on some of the days they didn’t appear at all as I was in bed all afternoon. Just as I wanted.

Obviously, so do I.
I think it's because in the past I've acquiesced to their demands and just vacated the room without question. Maybe word has gotten around that I'm an easy touch.
But anyway, I got a "Do not disturb" sign from the reception.
And yes, I've pushed the button on the bedside selector, but to no avail. It's probably not working, or maybe it's like the "close doors" button in the elevators - it's not actually connected to anything!

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
This afternoon was a carbon copy of yesterday - a romp in the sack, and then over to the bar to service my chuck-wowee. After that, it was off to dinner with my boy.
I decided to take in the show at Jupiter, just to see if it lived up to its reputation.
It didn't.
I arrived at 9:15 in good time for the 10:15 show in order to secure a front row seat. Unfortunately, they were all reserved and I was ushered to a seat behind one of the pillars. Nice one Jupiter!
As the time for the show approached the bar got very crowded (I think I was the only farang in the bar) so I decided to quickly move; I managed to find a better seat - actually it was a stool, at the side of the stage. It gave me a great view into the open change rooms.
There were about 15 boys in the rotation and some of the bodies were to die for! Absolutely incredible. Numbers 40, 43, 40 and 4 stood out. But only a couple of the boys were what I would deem handsome - the others looked similar to boys in the Soi Twilight bars. Nothing special at all. In fact the most stunning guy in the bar was the Asian guy sitting with his boyfriend in front of me. I couldn't take my eyes off him. He was super cute.
Back to the boys on stage. I made eye contact with number 49. I kept staring at his bulge. He kept staring at mine, too. I refer, of course, to the bulge of money in my top pocket. If only he knew most of the notes were 100 baht! (Then again, he was probably thinking, if only he knew most of my bulge was silicone.)
The first "act " consisted of the boys - all 27 of them - parading on the catwalk. This was followed by a ladyboy lip-syncing while 5 guys gyrated around her, thrusting their pelvices at her.
Next, 4 guys "danced" and bared their butts at the end.
This was followed by a very energetic hula hoop show. But still no cock.
Then I saw it. I caught a glimpse of a cock as a boy in the change room climbed the stairs.
The strip show which followed is the first time I've seen such an act where nothing is revealed. The guy just pranced around to the music, eventually stripping down to his undies, attempting to excite us with even more pelvic thrusts. Very disappointing.
Next, 5 boys came out draped in curtain fabric. And guess what - more pelvic thrusts.
The boys then all appeared on stage and just stood there. My eyes landed on number 4 - not because he was particularly handsome (but he had a great body) but because he looked more farang than Thai. (I don't know which part of him is Thai, but I hope it comes from Issan and is located in the lower half of his body!)
Five boys then appeared in their underwear and coordinated their pelvic thrusts to George Michael's "I Want Your Sex."
Still no sign of cock.
In a recent moment of madness I proclaimed that cock is not necessary for an act to be entertaining.
I was wrong!
A stripper suddenly appeared. And you guessed it, more pelvic thrusts. But right at the very end he whippe away his last item of clothing and we got a millisecond glimpse of an enormous hard cock. And that was it.
After a dismal ladyboy lip-sync, accompanied by 4 pelvic thrusting guys, 4 guys came on wearing towels. Do I need to describe their "dance" moves?
By now I had lost the will to live. So I got up and left.
Considering all the hype about Jupiter, it was a real let-down. I was aware that nudity was not the main game but I thought the show was supposed to be really super sexy and that all the guys had model looks. The dance moves were awkward and out of sync - just like the guys at Moonlight.
To be honest, I've seen better looking guys and more interesting shows in Soi Twilight.
The 300 baht entry, includes one drink. I believe subsequent drinks are 150 baht.
I'd rather pay 500 baht at Dreamboys.
So off I went to Golden Cock where they locked the door so I could enjoy an exquisite blow-job by a guy way more handsome and sexy than any boy I saw in Jupiter.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
Sunday night in Bangkok and I decided to visit Golden Cock which is a bar I hadn’t been to for many years. On previous visits I found it to be a total dump, with filthy furniture, a dismal selection of mangy boys and a creepy mamasan.
So with my preconceptions firmly set I went along determined to have my prejudices reinforced and I am delighted to report that I was not disappointed. I entered at 11:00 pm which is a time most bars are busy but found one solitary customer in a dark corner and 3 skinny heavily tattooed scruffs standing on the platform. I stayed for a beer and chatted with the lad that invited himself to sit with me, but the conversation was far from scintillating.
Not much else to report but suffice it to say I won’t be hurrying back any time soon.

You should go there more often, as you obviously got lost and ended up in some other bar.
First of all, there are no "mangy boys" there. I've been doing trip reports here for 12 years and none of the boys I've ever described fit the guys you've mentioned. I don't do "mangy."
Secondly, the mama-san, Jay, is the sweetest guy and in no way 'creepy."
Thirdly, you would have no idea if the furniture was filthy (it isn't) as it's too dark to see.
Fourthly, there is only one boy you could describe as "skinny," the boys do not stand on any platform, and they are not "scruffy" They are all the "boy next door" types. Oh, and I don't do scruffy, either.
But the most telling point that demonstrates you were in the wrong bar is the fact that only one guy, Tum, is "heavily tattooed." Out of all the other regular boys, four have no tattoos at all, and one has a small tattoo on his left shoulder.
I think your research skills are....err...."impaired."
Now, had you told me you were in Super A (or Nature Boy), I would believe you. Your description mirrors that of myself and others regarding Super A.
You definitely were not in Golden Cock.
And I've never seen a report on any gay website which describes Golden Cock they way you have.
Google "Golden Cock bar Bangkok" and click on "reviews."
Next time, I suggest you take a map.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018

Two things - a) they do have and actively use the “do not disturb” signs in TP, I normally find mine sitting up on the shelf beside the condoms and toothbrush basket.
B) ( and I’m not trying to be funny here) but you DO know that that “make up my room” sign outside your door is / has to be activated by you pressing a button saying the same on the box that sits beside your bed thst controls your room lights and air con etc and isn’t something that you pressed when outside in the hallway etc - but you DID know that I’m sure - right ? :-)

Well, I don't really work to a budget so in that way maybe I'm lucky and can just sit back and enjoy the evening without worrying about anything.
It all depends on what you want to do. For example tonight I had two of my favourite guys sit with me for the entire evening. I chuck-wowed one and played with the other. Both "entertained" me. They are free to drink as much as they want, but they always ask politely first before ordering even though they know they don't have to.
I'm normally not a drinker but when I sit with them I actually get stuck into the beer. I'm not sure how many drinks we had tonight but probably 5 or 6. Maybe more. They got quite drunk and became even more playful, if that's possible.
An average night with drinks and tips costs around 4000 baht. On my second night I think I paid around 6000, but I had more than 2 guys. I don't normally spend that much.
But if you just sit with one boy, of course it is a lot cheaper. And you can still have heaps of fun. Just be aware that if you or the boy cums you have to pay the bar 400 baht. Your tip is on top of that.
One of the guys I sit with I first met back in January. At that time he was too shy to do anything but now he's up for all kinds of fun once the doors are closed. He couldn't speak a word of English back then, but I'm amazed at how much he's learnt in the last 4 months. He's about 22 and a really lovely guy. The other guy is gay but not effeminate. He has a wicked sense of humour.
We pass the hours together teaching each other English and Thai, drinking, laughing a lot and, of course, enjoying as much hands-on fun as we want. By the time I've at down and made myself comfortable, they are as hard as a rock, ready for action. They are both very eager.
I have so much fun there - fun that I can't enjoy back home - that I don't care what it costs. Whatever I pay, it's a bargain as far as I'm concerned.
I was planning to go to Pattaya after I get back from Korea but I've now decided to stay here.
If you want more detail, feel free to pm me.

Lol.
Yes, I was aware of that. But because they kept knocking on the door, I actually went outside thinking I had to press it.
What it shows is that the light was lit up - I pressed the button on the bedside console before I turned the light off and went to sleep - yet they ignored it and knocked anyway.
Today was ok because i went out before the cleaners arrived on my floor.
BTW, I just checked the fridge and you'll be pleased to know that I found one Van Houten chocolate bar lurking behind the drinks.
And there is no 'Do not disturb" sign anywhere in the room. Believe me, I looked!

BTW, I just checked the fridge and you'll be pleased to know that I found one Van Houten chocolate bar lurking behind the drinks.
And there is no 'Do not disturb" sign anywhere in the room. Believe me, I looked!
A) Well now you may not have been the first ever person to do that and indeed a certain Irish farang may have stood doing exactly the same thing after a tipple or two one evening trying to turn it off from the hallway - that's how I know - i mean HE knows ( as he told me) that that doesn't work :)
b) The chocolate I think I'm going to have to buy in bulk when next there in July if I bother myself as I actually tried to get some here in the UK and it's not to be had anywhere it seems ! I actually read a chocolate blog about it and apparently it's made by Hershey from the US and in chocolate circles is considered to be low grade crap, but I like it - or at least I THINK I do as it may well be me mixing up post fun chocolate eating with ACTUALLY liking it and just confusing myself, either way it always brings back nice memories ! :-)
C) I'll stand by your updated info then and I wonder is that all part of the new ownership thing in trying to "turn the rooms" around faster / more efficiently as I have to admit one of the things I like and reasons I still use TP is the fact you can walk in and out at any time of the day and ask for your room to be serviced, perhaps a few times a day even and it's done quickly. I hope they're not trying to cut that down to a between 10am and 2pm thing or I'm screwed ! Remember to always push the metal "chain" bar across if nothing else, that'll stop the buggers in their tracks if they try to come in.
Have to say if they try to barge in and wake me too early by god they'll only make that mistake once before they have me loudly advising them to bugger off and let me sleep - that usually does the trick - although to be honest I've never had that problem in the TP - hence me wondering is it a change of policy perhaps - lets hope not !

So maybe they're deliberately doing it because they DO remember you if no-one else has this experience?

Me too! Thanks for asking this question. But do the boys actively join in with each other as well, or is it all just focussed on the customer?

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
A personal request for a minute by minute account of a447s time in a.gogo bar with multiple boys from DavyJonesLocker. Its like all his birthdays have come at once. Maybe the boys did the same. Take it away a447.

That did cross my mind, especially as I'm not the only one to report problems with the cleaners. Your comment may be apposite as I would not be so presumptuous as to think that everyone who has had a negative experience with the cleaners is a member of a gay forum where they could post their comments.
Maybe the hotel wants the cleaners to get the job done quickly and so decrease their working hours.
But I just think it's simply a case of the cleaners wanting to clean all the rooms on the same floor for their own convenience. Understandable.
The only other problem I have had with them over the years is that they sometimes forget to leave the two bottles of water, a bathmat (like yesterday) or a spare toilet roll - essential for our after the deed clean-up. But that's no big deal.
But not getting enough sleep, especially when I'm on holiday, is a big deal for me. I don't want to wander around all day half asleep.
But the cleaning ladies are very pleasant and I appreciate the yuk factor, having to clean up after our "activities." Mopping up cum and picking up used condoms with their bare hands is not something that would attract me to the job.
Everything else about the Tarntawan is fine, especially when you consider what you are paying. It's why I'm back again.
I just get the impression that the Thais think like Australians - that will do, close enough, she'll be right, no worries mate.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
I hope guests are generous with tips. The wages of hotel staff are low and,s a447 says, the ones at Tarntawan are always so pleasant. He may be joking when he mentions the distressing aspects of attending to the needs of the more vulgar of tourists but I fear that such things actually happen.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
And at the end of the day, I'm an old softee at heart.
Despite my complaint, which is trivial in the grand scheme of things, the ladies will get a substantial tip before I leave on Saturday.

Yet hotel staff in Thailand tend to stay on and on and on, quite loyally. Why is that? If wages are better in other occupations why don't they leave and go there?

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
Perhaps they have children to feed? Any suggestions for a young man/woman with basic education in the most expensive city in Thailand? My boyfriend tried work in both 711 and Big C; the pay was very poor (6000 bht per month- this was few years ago) and only just paid for his simple room and street-side food. He didn't have kids of course (thank heavens).
People like a447 and I'm sure many others on this board may not be aware of it it but they are helping to buy school uniforms and other basics which working-class pay barely addresses by giving tips which are less than the price of a beer. The maids know it though. Perhaps that's why they are so kind to us, often beyond the call of duty.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
Just checked out at Tartawan Surawong. No issues with cleaning staff but I had and used the door tag. Not sure if electronics work any more in my room. I tip cleaning staff daily 40B and they take very good care of me but I did have a corner suite as well.

Re: Bangkok report April 2018
Those maids working in hotels I believe are Thais with minimal formal education. As long as they are employed there's a certain amount of security for themselves.
During my recent stay in Jomtian, I came across polite and efficient Myanmar nationals cleaning the rooms. Perhaps younger Thais can find better opportunities elsewhere.
