Thanks for starting this discussion. I hope other guys will chime in with their experiences, too. As you know, normally we don't include email addresses inside the Message Board posts, but it's fine for this type of thing where you're referencing the boys on Gayboysiam.

If you know of a rentboy from that site or another in Thailand who is working on a regular basis, I want to encourage you (and other guys) to feel free to post reviews for them on CRUISING for ESCORTS too. Near the bottom of the page select "Submit A Review" and then "Elsewhere" then "Thailand." On the next page you can select Bangkok as a "Metro" area or (if they are in a different city) select Thailand as the "Region." If they're not in Bangkok, it would help to say where they are in the text of the review. You can write briefly or at length, although Keith required (and I agree with) a minimum length for the text of a review.

I had programmed that site years ago for Keith and I do want to update it and make it easier to use. The "Elsewhere" designation has always bothered me, and of course there's the need for an up-to-date and mobile-friendly interface. Wish I had more time to do all that's needed, but it's one thing at a time and emergencies first.

Thanks again ~ Bob

I took a guy about a month ago, one who uses the email name: singzas@outlook.com. He posts on Gboysiam nearly every day, but only body photos, never any face shots. The body looked very nice; thin and smooth, just what I prefer. However, when I met the guy he looked older, heavier and hairier than the photos. Definitely not the body in the photos! Nevertheless, he was very nice, gave head, could be fucked, kissed well. Rather plain looking, and not what I thought I was getting, but other than that I could not complain about the service, which was very good. I've also seen him post under his nickname, Mawin, on Romeo.

Just contacted another guy this week, who responded right away. But he lives up in Rangsit --- very far from my Central Bangkok location --- so I'm not when, or if, I'll be able to sample his wares.

Thanks for opening this thread. I have been looking on gboysiam for years, and contacted a few boys, but didn't meet any. The closest to meeting was "too far away" (boy in Ramkhamhaeng, I in Sathorn).

In my experience, email is not a good way to contact Thais. Many of the emails given do not work (when I searched for facebook profile via email).

My preferred mode of communication is Line (I understand written Thai much better than spoken).

If there are no face pics or out of focus/too dark/whatever I will skip. Same if pictures don't match.

Very true. I've rarely had any guys reply to an email (and yes, most bounce back), but have much better success using Line. Most of the Thai guys using Line will at least have SOME English language ability, and I always urge them call me and speak Thai if they have any questions.

I thought I had a hot one last month, but he lives out in Rangsit and getting him to my place near Ekkamai was a chore. We had a meeting lined up and then that afternoon he sent me a message asking if I could send him money for taxi. I replied no, saying I could pay for the taxi when he arrived but not ahead of time. Never heard from him again!

Another one using Gboysiam, and one with a Line account, is a place called Winner Spa. I've taken 2 guys from them in the past month and both were good, but not outstanding. They can send the guy to your place, but the charge can vary. Definitely negotiate (don't agree to the first price they ask; they wanted 3,000 baht and I nixed that) the price that includes service and tip and taxi fare. Also, one of the boys I talked to told me that the spa gave him a fraction of the total price, so if he's a keeper, you might ask him to come off "off the clock" at a cheaper overall rate, but one that would pay him more. I did that for this guy and it worked out well.
