First time traveler to Thailand

[christianpfc]

As I have said before. I am awestruck by your negotiating skills in getting your first choice boy to go with you at your convenience for 500 - 1000 baht.

I'm not getting my first choice boy to go with me at my convenience. I'm losing out the one or other (very cute from Toy Boys who wanted 1500 and did not accept 1000). I'm trying to minimize my expenses at the cost of losing the one or other boy.

You are trying to maximize your fun at the expense of spending more money than necessary.

For a tourist, I would recommend doing as you (arsenal) do, not as I do.
