Speaking of dating apps...which one do you think is most popular for us farangs to use in Pattaya? I'm not looking for long term finds just a nice afternoon or evening with one sexy young guy.

Grindr and probably Blued. Have heard it's quite popular with mbs.

So im gearing up for my 1st time trip to Bangkok/Pattaya. (Newbie )
I have travelled before, however mostly to places in the Middle East, so bringing someone to your Hotel(room) there was a big No-No.

A little off topic, Spent a year in Dubai/Abu Dhabi and at least there no one batts an eye at 2 men in a room or bringing a guest. The help is often Filipino and some are available. (I had multiple Filipinos there, one was a Hotel security guard). Even when I entered a hotel with an Emirati citizen no one cared. I was surprised at this. 3 men for every women there.

AND in 2022 they made it legal for unmarried Male/Female to occupy the same room. (not that that was enforced anymore than the Gay imprisonment law)

Same here. Always had at least a filipino on each visit to Dubai and Doha. I even brought guys over to Brunei, a place where technically there is sharia law and homosexuality is punished by death. The guy told me that it never get enforced.

Sounds great,
In Egypt even going near your Hotel with a local causes problems.
Shame... but C'est la vie (dammed )

May I make a general comment concerning Max6969 and his visit?

I hope that you are getting the advice you need- you will see that there is consensus amongst regulars as to what you will find.

So my general advice is this; don't worry! once you are there, you will see plenty of men just like you, enjoying what Pattaya has to offer safely. Remember that we ( and even more so, those seeking women) are not extras on the Pattaya film but leading characters. Everyone knows why we are there. Even people for the far north and far south....hence the number of people of both sexes who go to work there.

And to be blunt, no one cares, as long as we act responsibly in matters sexual- that is, safely and legally- interact with our new friends with respect and generosity and ensure that our public behaviour reflects Thai and Buddhist values.

I'm envious of you; my first visit twenty-five years ago- perhaps even that first night- was one of the most important moments of my life.

A first visit! wonderful...amazing times ahead for you.

You can say that again!

Your life will never be the same.

Thank You for that
I was hoping to go for my 30th birthday but pandemic prevented that, so it will be 31th birthday.
I am familiar with escorts in Europe and i do respect the people who do it.
I just find it confusing with Sex work being illegal in Thailand... like its not allowed but it happens anyway...
guess i just want to know what im in for, to make sure there are no worries. better prevent than heal .
But thank You so much i look forward to it

A few things weren't said, so I'd like to add. ST/LT. It's very helpful to set expectations, in order for both you and the boy to be happy. Standard ST from a bar is about an hour. LT does not have to be overnight. LT can be 3 hours, or whatever you agree on (and that's what I'd recommend. More relaxed, less rushed, etc). Highly recommended to spell out precisely (and perhaps crudely) what you want to do in the room. Sounds weird, but you must do it or risk disappointment and misunderstandings.

About the legal stuff. Yes it's "illegal". But what two people get up to amongst themselves in a room is NOT illegal. So don't feel like you're doing something wrong..you're not.

Escorts in Europe: This is nothing like that. Please don't treat them as if that's the case. Thailand is completely an alien land. Don't bring European expectations.

In room: 99% of the time, you'll be using your hotel room or wherever you are staying. These boys are NOT the sketchy tweekers like in the Prague train station.

A warning: as the other posters said, this is going to change your life...for the better.
