Normally I'd go to Thailand after Bali, but luckily someone reminded me Songkran was during this time and I changed to go to India first then Thailand, then back to India for my flight to USA.... in my 27 years visiting Thailand, last year was my 1st Songkran in Pattaya and I HATED it..... won't make that mistake of being there for another.

I hate Songkran in Pattaya, and it starts 11th to 12th and does not end until 19th!! I usually hide in my condo until 16th and then I flee to Bangkok, but this year I am going to my favourite place in Krabi, Railay Beach. The death rate over Songkran is appalling, as stupid drunk farang throw buckets of water onto people riding motorbikes and they fall under moving cars. When I made my first visit in 1998 I arrived for the last two nights of Songkran and it was more civilised, and all water throwing stopped when the sun went down and you could go out for dinner quite safe. I have lived in Pattaya now for over fourteen years and I absolutely hate Songkran here.

At least it gives some idea of what goes on in Bangkok during Songkran. This is the advance official link for 2026 and not a young man in any of it! But lots of pics from previous years can be found on the web. https://www.gcircuit.com/

sharp eye !

I managed a tour of Dragon Bar, Good Boys, Big Boys and Freshboys. Customers thin on the ground at all venues on a Wednesday night. Plenty of men available. Big Boys making some effort with a show though 1500 bt for a beer and cokes for 2 men I knew there seems on the strong side.

Sorry if it wasn't clear. In Thailand I have just paid £30 for a 3 months package of grindr xtra so I can see more men. In UK where I live no monthly package is offered to me. All that is offered to me in UK is a free week then £9.99 a week. That is £118.88 for the first 3 months and £129.87 for all the following three month periods.

Of coure you are correct, but isn't that one of the reasons @jimmie50 has asked his questions here on the forum? He genuinely wants answers to a whole variety of issues - and especially the potential pitfalls. Entering any relationship has its own set of probems. Entering one with a man much younger than yourself who lives half a world away - a world and cultures you do not know much about - and clearly has a dose of his own problems relating especially to lack of a visa and the nature of his employment has quite a few more. Starting a romance should be wonderful experience. Others here have found ways around problems. But surely you first have to know what the problems are or might be?

Trump's definitely in a pissed off mood, as Pam Bondi learned recently. Although I can't blame Trump. All this winning must be so tiring! 😉

He lost the war, although he never admits to losing. I never thought I would be listening to John Bolton's "good" judgment. That said, I respect Bolton's logic. Unlike Trump, Bolton has logic and strategy. Not just reptilian instinct and self defense. Bolton's point is if you are gonna go after a snake, or a lion, or a tiger, you better have a plan to win decisively. You have to kill it. Or it will kill you. He said any war against Iran only makes sense if it is committed to regime change. Aka "boots on the ground" and lots of dead Amewricans. In military terms this is kinda sorta like The Powell Doctrine. Win what you plan to win with decisive force that you know is decisive force. Otherwise, you suck and lose. Ego Baby King Trump forgot all that cause he thought after Venezuela his shit didn't stink. Even South Park's "Respect My Authority" Cartman is smarter than this losing piece of shit. He's gonna tank the stock market this year and tank the GOP Senate and House. He is a worthless stupid losing piece of shit. If Iran manages to return the kindness and assassinate his stupid loser ass, as he takes America and the world down the shitter, who is gonna cry about it? What a total piece of shit. That said, AND I MEAN THIS SERIOUSLY, the anti-Gay theocrats in Iran better fucking beware. If you touch Melania or her shoes, I will kill you all.

They were protesting Trump in London, but failed to see the irony of brandishing signs saying "No More Kings." You appear to be surprisingly correct about that. I was surprised to learn that a substantial plurality of Canadians want to dump their king. Australia is in a weird situation, since, at least as of the last time they voted, every single state would have to vote to become a republic in order for them to get rid of the King of Australia. I think Queensland and one other state (Western Australia?) blocked the transition. Which will be the next nation to say "No More Kings"? https://www.canadian-republic.ca/polls

Are you planning to go on retrovirals? I ask out of curiosity, since you did not previously want to go on PrEP which is the same class of medications.

2023??? Just a little behind time, aren't we?!? lol.

Thank you for your opinion. I am not bragging, why would I ? The subject was "RAW" not a governmental body telling every man how to live their life. Seems that is your goal. Further I am in total harmony with myself. Each person does what they feel best for them. This guide covers many subjects which is open to all ideas. Many men have different opinions here, which I have always respected. I resent you suggesting I am oblivious. I believe you are the one who needs to find Harmony.

I find your post sad. Not sure if you are humble bragging or just oblivious. May harmony find you. 🤔

There ARE some upsides (in BKK anyway).

Welcome Dan! Maybe it would b better to open a new thread for urself. Anyway, in order to start making friends, maybe u'd like to introduce urself: where in brazil do u live; ur origin; age group; what u r intrstd in; etc... PS - I envy u for being trilingual. I think most here dont speak portuguese. (-:

Both are gay sex motels, the original #1 is the more cruiser Grindr famous option of the two.

Insightful thoughts... and I would tend to agree with all of your analysis. I think you are 100% right. Even though he wasn't technically "paying for sex" (I paid for the massage and the tips), its the idea of it perhaps.

It AINT over till the fat orange man Sings...... So far, he's only dancing, and celebrating NOTHING.

" Fight for America Russia and Israel "

So its a choice between Cancer and a terminal brain tumor ? 🤔

Hooray, we won! We traded in an octogenarian ayatollah for one in his prime! We moved fifth fleet headquarters from Bahrain to Virginia Beach. All of our other bases in the region are “uninhabitable”. Four THAAD radars were destroyed, several fixed emplacement radars, an E-3, four tankers, several brand new F-35s and a handful of older multimillion dollar aircraft. Not to mention we depleted our interceptor inventory. To top it all off, we killed thousands of non-combatants, including 160 little girls. But the straights of Hormuz are (almost?)open! Just like they were before grandpa started Operation Epstein Distraction! USA! USA! USA! USA!

Power hungry zealots and megalomaniacs are EVERYWHERE, and there will always be the hunger and fight for POWER.. But if there are guardrails and checks in place, it makes the threats less threatening and harder to achieve.

But there ARE enough fools to be Dangerous and keep Trump relevant. Unless Dems achieve enough seats in both chambers to be able to "legislate" WITHOUT the need for GOP votes, we will still be in trouble. And continued MAGA support and dissemination of MISINFORMATION doesnt help the situation. The GOP only speaks to a MAGA coalition, not the entire population. The only key to weakening Trump and the GOP possibly breaking with him is to break MAGA, or at least chip away at their numbers, enough so that their influence is of NO consequence.

THIS shouldnt be a question, but an EXPECTATION Trump WILL interfere in some combination of ILLEGAL actions and force ...The Dems and the courts should prepare accordingly.
