Thanks for all the comments on this thread. I’m in BKK now and going down to Pattaya on Saturday. This has helped me understand what to expect.

On the issue of being fussy, I’m guilty as charged. I also don’t like tattoos, in fact would never even entertain the idea of offing a guy with them. But I realise that this is a cultural change and I belong to a previous generation. The other “fussy” thing for mine is a love of pubic hair. And I don’t know what happened in the last three years since I was last here, but everyone seems to have discovered manscaping. I cry myself to sleep at night!
