Nice boys was good

But here in BKK the % of foreign workers in the trade must be approaching the 50% by now-and in those newly sprouted up m2m msg shop in Sapan kwai its near 100%. All those Laos-when we were able to talk, told me there were no real problems or that-except having to leave and re-enter Th every 2-3 monthes=expensive for them
IMHO its mostly a population thing: the nr of guys in that age bracket in TH is getting lower and lower every year-and rising wealth and large offer of normal jobs also mean its far easier to find a not that well paid but certain income source, and now that tourism is coming back rapidly, chances are even better.
Camb has the usual just after war ends bubble of newborns now in that age we like them. Burma is so dead-poor and desperate that anything is better as there-also seeing the very big nr of Burmese, more girls, doing normal lower end jobs here in BKK-I really like them, always friendly and happy, even more when you say some Burmese. And even for VNese it seems TH is attractive enough to try out some efforts-but one can also find them in Malaysia etc.

What I am curious about if you guys notice any change in mentality in the scene now. Are the boys from Loas, Cambodia etc giving the same service/vibe as you were used to from the Thai boys?

Times change, so that could easily be it too.

Better. But of course thats just a very general idea and only based on those msg-shops, have this time (today last day of my 44 day stint) not even been INside any of the famous BKK/Silom gogos. There is also a notable difference between Laos and Khmer. My personal score of Laos guys sprung from 2 to >10 this time. My own fave are the Burmese though. And by now I state advance ´NO VN!´-if any present.
Again very roughly and perhaps only personal is that the non-Thai guys simply assume the whole full service is included. I always try to set up some talk with them-I understand for quite a few it may even be the very 1st time for a non-ASean, and in most case this also proved possible- I speak enough of standard Thai-some Laos only that awful Lao dialect which made it even hard for them to survive in BKK without friends translating. Those well known old-time stories of ´pa ran away, drink too muth, buffalo die, etc.´ never to be heard, some quite hilarious jokes and/or stories sometimes. 1 guy told frankly he was there to earn a new motosay-the old one had crashed, hoping for a brand new, but 2nd hd would also do.

Very interesting take. Not saying I agree, but good to read your point of view.

Your B300 is the prize. The boys compete for it. The winner gets the money, you get to watch them.

Try out all ´street food´places or foodcourts and then tell us where the very best value for money khao khaeng or khao man khai can be had. (like in the uni-court of Thammasat for still 35 bt).
All these cheap m2m msg shops advertise to be open from at least 12-23.00 so all afternoon can be filled with pleasure-but it will cost you a little more as a sauna and your choice in those who will also open their asses for you will be limited.
Besides the museums-many of which are even free, take the chance to get back from there around 15.00 when schools close and buses are full with young student guys in their uniforms-many still with short trousers, to admire.
I am not a beach person so for me BKK has plenty to keep me amused this 44 days, where as I shun Pty just becse it has nothing else as beach in daytime.

That subject has been discussed recently. There is plenty to do for me during daytime. Only now after over 10 years of coming to Pattaya regularly do I have to venture further away and rent a car with driver for daytrips around Pattaya.

How about museums? Over 100 museums in Bangkok. There is so much to see and do in Bangkok, I haven't gotten around even though I spent there several months every year.
