-- A professorial acquaintance of mine who was in TH. earlier this yr., went to PUERTO VALLARTA, (JAL.), instead for a few days before Christmas;
- The YR. fare was approx. USD.550.oo.;
- He stayed-in a small GH. wch. hosted pool-side cocktail parties most evenings wch. were attended by some of the local young men - not too disimilar to BKK's. SURIWONGSE HTL. in its way and in its glory days; the atmosphere there was generally the same: men with similar interests who were prepared to talk, share, get-on well with other guests and so on ... !
- The o'night. cost for one of the local YM. is approx. MXN.600.oo. , (roughly equiv. to THB.1,500. or to USD.50.),; additionally most of the local YM. are much better endowed than their TH. counterparts! :D
- The GH. charged LESS than BKK's. TARNTAWAN HOTEL;

-- E&OE. as reported speech.
