All Activity

I haven’t actually stayed there this year but I did several times last year. I’ve been on that street and I don’t see anything different except the name. I saw prices on agoda and Booking.com and they didn’t seem much higher than last year to me.

I do fine for 1200-1500 a “pop.”

(I hate to add a further question, rather than answer them, but I don't know the answer) There's no way to search (e.g., age, position, height, etc.) is there? Yes--when I looked at it a couple of days ago Darwin (with an eagle tatoo on his chest) had like 10 ads in a row🤔

Actually 'more than 30 days' makes you legal at Airbnb. Technically, Airbnb cannot rent out for less than 30 days unless they have an 'hotel license. But anyway, if there were a less than 30 day problem, is is the renter who would have a problem. not the rentee.

True, nothing bitchy or vicious in his messages..

I will be going to Hong Kong next month and hope to get some tips for fun places to visit. In my last trip, I visited the Soda sauna in Wan Chai. It's a fairly large place for Hong Kong and seems to be popular with locals in the 30-40s range. I also tried to visit the Big Top sauna in Kowloon. They had a bizarre system that required texting a code to your cell phone that had to be a local phone number. I didn't have a local phone number and was denied entry. I don't know if they still have this system in place. On gayhk.com there are quite a few masseurs advertising their services. What is the going rate for a massage with a happy ending in Hong Kong? Does anyone have experience engaging these services?

thanks God , I almost got heart attack

that's attitude I like

I agree that the Hans sauna is not decorated with any kind of theme in mind, hence the lack of atmosphere. The public areas are bright and clinical looking. However, the new Hans is a much-improved version of the old, grungy Hans. Actually, it feels like a completely different place; even the clientele is different. While most patrons are 30-40s, there are quite a few younger ones as well. Overall, it is not as crowded as Soi 13, but there is plenty of action. I have a good time when I go there.

Sorry mistake. 128 baht. Not 180 baht. Looks like Foodland chicken cashew nut is cheapest!

They may be hardworking, but they aren't at all decent.

I’m an Airbnb person. Been using them for last 10 years with no complaints. I’m moving into one in a few hours. I decided to fly over a few days before Unit was available. Staying in hotel for 4 nights make me realize how much I enjoy the room and privacy of a condo.

After massage was meal at Foodland. Chicken cashew nut with rice. 180 baht. No mushrooms unlike Derby King. Could be too spicy for farang tastebuds. Overall cheap and good.

Afternoon was massage time with regular massage guy at Adam Massage on soi 4. Unlike the shops at soi 6, which do not have music, Adam Massage has soothing spa music which makes it best experience in the neighbourhood. B2B was as fantastic as I remembered. A great massage is able to make up for loss of sleep.

Wednesday I woke up at 8.30am. I made my way quickly to Foodland to place my order for 84 baht breakfast set before 9am. My guy later scolded me for not sleeping longer. I said it's my holiday time. I can sleep after holiday! After breakfast, I enjoyed an hour at the swimming pool. Then I went to laundromat to do my laundry. While waiting for laundry to be ready, I shopped and ate at the local market.

Supper at 2.15am on a Tuesday morning was only my group comprising 6 of us. No other customers in Foodland. Just the Foodland staff and us. 3 of them followed me back to hotel room for drinking and poker card games. I had to remind them to lower their voices as other hotel guests were sleeping. At 4am, they left and I concluded a memorable night of chess, checkers and cards!

Stupid reply! Do try to be accurate. Why would I google anything about Faberge Eggs when all I want to know about them and this one in particular is in my posts? Clearly you need your reading glass prescription checked. In many years of posting - far more than you - I made one quote from google in a response to your request for information about Angeles City in The Philippines. It was an attempt to be of assistance. But please clarify - what other posts have I made re google since you claim it is a regular occurrence? Go on - list them. It is not. You really are becoming particularly pesky in two of your posts this morning. Further, you have a Filipino boyfriend. Could he not have provided a great deal of information through friends and friens of friends? I expect you did not even bother to ask him.

At 2.15am, we had to leave Midnight bar to have supper at Foodland. I told Checkers Champion that I will get him a proper checkers set so that we can play a proper game next time. I want a rematch. No one expected him to be that good! And he knows it and even said, "You win me, I take off my shirt!"

I'm flying there this afternoon.... lot's available on the apps free/paid. I won't be eating pork bacon for the next few days, one of the downsides, lol.

That's more than strange considering you've talked about coming to stay for several posts . I was only trying to help, but clearly you have your own idea of what help means. Besides, you clearly did not read what I posted as it talks about money boy pick ups which are a speciality of yours.

who?

problem is , a lot of those decent and hardworking people voted him in the office

To be fair to the waiters at Midnight beer bar, they only know the game of checkers and they have always thought the name was chess. They don't know the actual name is different. Nevertheless, they are pretty good at checkers. We played several games of checkers (using chess board and pieces) for about an hour as we were waiting for some guys in bar to finish work so that we could have supper together. While Team Chess (3 of us comprising my guy and me plus a forum member who joined us) won overall more games of checkers against Team Checkers (4 of them), one Myanmar waiter is so good that he stayed undefeated!

Isnt it true that older guys like me were conditioned much more than we might have been aware by our upbringing? I was brought up in a middle class (do we still use that term) household - parents, three children, one set of grandparents living a few doors away and one uncle and aunt a few more doors away. There was very much an unwritten expectation that the childen would follow the pattern of school, a university degree of sorts, a profession, marriage, kids, grandkids, retirement and easy end of life complemented by a nice gravestone. A life well lived! My siblings followed that route - very happily and neither has yet reached the end of the road. I guess I was the stubborn one. It was not because I thought I might be gay quite early, which is true. I wanted to break free, make my own decisions - both right and wrong. My father never once tried to change my mind as long as I followed the path as far as getting a degree. Thereafter he'd support me in whatever I did. The career advice churned out then was 'stay in your first job for at least four years' to establish your reliability. I gave my good job up after 16 months. I wanted something different and I have always been curious. My parents were rather shocked that I had chosen to move to Hong Kong. But at the end of my first year they came to stay and enjoyed it so much they wanted to return a year later. Sadly my father died and that did not happen. But my mother returned two more times. Working for international companies I quickly realised the world was in reaiity my oyster. I was determined to see and enjoy as much of it as possible, the more so as the companies were paying for a great deal of it! And that is the choice I made. I have had to miss out on a lifetime relationship but that again was a choice. Some suggest short-term relationships cannot make up for that. For my generation and all that gay men have been through I don't necessarily agree. But in the lottery of life, I think I've come out quite well. So I agree with @donJ. You choose your own path but just do your best to enjoy it. Never regret it.
