Tom, What you say about the single room/joiner fee thing makes perfect sense, and is why I have no gripes about paying the joiner fee at the Dusit, as it still costs me less than booking a double. I don't know what they do at the Dusit if you do book a double, but I know from experience that some of the higher end hotels such as the Montien will still charge the joiner fee, which I think is taking the piss. Even more so their hotel in Bangkok, which is just over the road from Patpong! I've asked some of the girls who I've taken back to the Dusit how they were treated by the front desk staff, and they didn't seem to have any problem. But then perhaps this is to be expected as the place used to be guest friendly until recent times anyway. be seeing you monkeyman

I think the lack of bustle on the streets takes a bit away from the atmosphere. Somehow the place doesn't seem quite so alive in low season, even though there's still plenty of people and noise about. I think this is particularly noticeable on Walking Street, where pedestrian numbers seem to drop more noticeably than elsewhere for some reason. Bars and clubs don't seem to be affected much though, and I guess that's what's really important. Perhaps low season attracts more people who want to sit down and drink rather than walk about. Yeah, I'll have some of that. ;D ;D ;D be seeing you monkeyman

bluesmalone My last visit was in September/October. Quieter than high season, obviously, but dead it was most definitely not. I think it's a matter of taste whether high or low season is better, as there's pros and cons on both sides. I don't have any great preference either way, but if I had to choose I think I'd go for low season, as I reckon the TG to poonhound ratio is more favourable. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D be seeing you monkeyman

I'm staying at the Dusit for a few weeks this year for £22 per night as they don't charge a single supplement from April to October if you book with the right companies. Needless to say, you can't combine this with the free nights offer. I've stayed there before and would certainly recommend it to anyone. Now the bad news. They do charge a joiner fee of 1000 baht per girl, so anyone who didn't pay probably just got lucky. They do seem to be polite with the girls though. Whaler, I don't think the "I've booked a double" ploy works in any hotels I know of. Unless the room is booked in the names of two people, they'll still hit you with the joiner fee (and what if you want to take more than one girl back?) be seeing you monkeyman

You just gotta ask yourself one question. Do I want gratitude or attitude? be seeing you monkeyman

This is the stuff. Congrats to all concerned. Much appreciated. be seeing you monkeyman

I've just had this strange feeling of deja vu.

Now that's what I call a true romantic.

5+. Not forgetting The Ugly Brothers at FLB of course.

So did mine. I think it means "pencil dick".

Well, it looks like the board is unanimously in favour of "no need to click this." Poll? This is more like a going over by Special Branch.

So where's the hard drugs then? Oh, I see.

I think you'll find that sailors usually hang out with a different type of screamer. Oh, and this year's fashion conscious male is going to bars wearing his underpants on his head and a pencil up each nostril.

My doctor told me the best way to keep my blood pressure down was to stay away from Pattaya. He was right. But I didn't. be seeing you monkeyman

Don't think he'll feel much like killing anybody after a kick in the bollocks...

Well hush my mouth. :-X The missing pictures have appeared as if by magic. So how does that work then?

Cess Great photos. The ones that I always mean to take but never do. But what's happened to the ones after the Dolphin Roundabout? I'm getting a little cross. No, I'm not getting angry, I'm getting the little "something's fucked up big time" red crosses where the pictures should be. So now I'll never know what your personal favourite is. Just one of life's bitter ironies I guess. be seeing you monkeyman

I've looked in loads of shops but I couldn't find one.

No.

Religion is the opium of the masses. Nuff said.

So how come they wait until 2am to tell you what you've been drinking all night?

Don't let the girls know for christ's sake.

mats I think your reply might prove your definition of "experience".

aj I checked out the Kitten Club the night after it opened. The girls weren't wearing masks and boots. Otherwise it looked much the same as when it was Cats. Nothing much going on. I wasn't impressed. be seeing you monkeyman

We're all here. Where are you?
