low grade.... Hot tops  and lighting so good even I look expensive 😝

and equally no Oscars for Politicians. although some are quite accomplished actors.

For the first time in five years, I visited Thailand again, albeit for only nine days. The first seven days I spent in Pattaya, the last few in Bangkok. I stayed at the Zing Resort in Pattaya and at The Raya in Bangkok. The Zing Resort is a simple but pleasant hotel. The staff is super friendly, no problem with guests and it's always nice to have a pool. The Raya: I was unlucky enough to have a room on the fifth floor (where the reception is), but they don't even bat an eye when you go up to your room with your boyfriend of the day. The room was very nice (with a naughty shower), but I didn't like the bed: a mattress on viagra, rock hard.   Pattaya I took the airport bus to Jomtien. Even though I didn't have a reservation, I only had to wait 20 minutes for the next bus. Grindr had a good selection of guys, but it was difficult to make appointments (no or late responses, guys who didn't show up, etc.). I ended up meeting three guys, only one of whom was memorable. On average, I paid 1,500 baht for bar boys and 1,000 baht for guys from Grindr.   Daytime Activities: Ramayana Water Park with a Grindr contact (free, but I paid for admission, transportation, and food). A bit pricey (999 baht admission), but great slides and lots of fun. The guy loved it. Koh Larn with a guy from M Bar. We went to Tien Beach. It's still one of my favorite beaches on the island. A sexy photoshoot among the rocks on the other side of the island was the highlight of the day. Trip to Bang Saray (by Songthaew/motorcycle taxi). Strolled around town for a bit. Bars & Massages Jomtien Complex: M bar: My favorite bar in Pattaya. The guys are cute and the show is entertaining (the fuck show in black and white!). I've offed three guys from Laos (technically, I only offed one, since the others joined me after closing time). One night, a big spender got all the guys drunk. One of them fell asleep on my lap. Another asked if he could sleep at my place because he lost his keys. Of course, I didn't mind and the next morning he proved that having sex is a perfect remedy for a hangover. Gus bar: The guys are very twinky. The "sexy boys" show is just energetic dancing, but I enjoyed it. The cashier came to my room after closing time, and we had a great time. Peter bar: I enjoyed a game of pool at this bar. The location is great. You can watch the comings and goings and see the various shows. I assume they employ freelancers, because I offed a guy from the bar and didn't pay an off fee. Sunee bar: I met two forum members. They were both lovely guys   MV Massage (one of two massage parlors near the bakery "O Delices"): A very cute twink caught my eye. The massage started with him fully clothed and he stayed that way throughout the session. His massage skills were non-existent, the worst massage I've had in a long time. Not that I expected a good massage there, as long as there was a sexy part. But alas... nothing. After 45 minutes, the session was over. I considered how much to tip him and thought 200 baht would be more than enough, even generous. He looked at me as if he was very offended by my tip and even ostentatiously turned his head the other way as I walked past to leave. Well, they won't see me again. Jomtien Health Massage (near the entrance to Jomtien on the Thappraya): There are both men and women working there. My expectations were rather low, but one of the men was cute. He gave me an excellent massage and halfway through asked if I wanted extras. After a brief chat, he jumped out of his clothes and we had a good session. I think I was lucky I was the only one on the top floor, as the massage tables are only separated by curtains. Afterward, I showered alone.  Bars & Massages sunee plaza: Everything is closed except Nice Boys, Winner Boys, Diamond Bar (lights on but empty) and that bar on the corner. Nice boys (or whatever they are called nowadays): only one Myanmar guy on the stage, the rest are Thai. All boys in jeans / long trousers. I had a chat with the owner khun beer. He tells me that they had no choice, he couldn't pay the tea money for the BiB anymore with the profits of the bar. I miss the old Nice Boys. For old time's sake, I started a cum contest for 300 baht.  Most of them wanked frantically and one of the boys won in less than 10 seconds.  Winner boys: a couple cute twinks, friendly atmosphere and you can have some hands-on fun with the boys.  Bars & Massages boystown: Toy Boys: Nice mix of boys, I counted 12 boys. Papasan told me they expect 2500 baht tip for short time, no pasarán.  Cupidol (or whatever it's called now, the go-go bar next to Panorama): lots of cute twinks. One guy immediately caught my eye, but he was top only.   

very interesting second last paragraph !!

I understand your point, but I still disagree. Ukraine and Russia are not the same, even if both countries have corruption and political pressure. In Russia, there is no real opposition, no independent media, no investigative journalism, and no way for courts or the public to challenge decisions from the top. People who criticise the government face prison or worse, and there is no outside institution that can force the government to reverse its actions. In Ukraine, corruption is a serious problem, but the difference is that things can still be exposed. Journalists publish investigations, courts sometimes block decisions, civil society protests, and international partners can pressure the government to undo illegal steps, as happened in the NABU case. None of that is possible in Russia. And before we continue, I would also like to know if you agree with what I said earlier. Calling the war a war can lead to prison in Russia. Independent newspapers are closed. People fall out of windows or disappear after criticising the state. If we want to have a good faith discussion, we cannot deny that these things happen. Do you agree with that part?
