All Activity

I will be staying in Jomtien next week and would appreciate any restaurant recommendations nearby. Prefer quality over simply being inexpensive, both having both is great.

I often recognise lads who I'd known in Pattaya 10-15 years ago. I even came across a boy who I'd brought to England, put through college, paid for a house for his mother, and had living with me for 10 years. I threw him out for repeatedly stealing and being disrespectful to my UK housekeeper. Within weeks he was back to whoring.

With respect the Minister stated, as we have heard before, that a surcharge will be added to cover things like medical costs. Thousands of tourists turning up each bearing an insurance policy from their home country in a foreign language is likely to defeat the less than bright Immigration officers.

I was in Singapore for 4 days around 10 days ago. Took SQ for the first time in more than a decade. Daytime flights on A350 aircraft. I was actually surprised that the meals were so tasty! The odd thing is they are served in cardboard boxes. Yet the food was plentiful and way better than I have had recently on CX and China Airlines. Service certainly was way below what I remember from a plethora of earlier SQ flights. Apart from one really handsome steward, all the FAs are now considerably older and seem to have forgotten how to smile.

Why not also look at the conditions for "acts of war"? Fuel sortages can be for a multiple reasons as I outlined earlier, but most insurance policies specifically rule out anything resulting from an act of war.

I worry even more about them developing liver problem, They are quite aware about the risks though as I can name at least three former bar guys I found in massage venues and when I asked about reason of switching , answer was the same " I did not like that drinking"

My post in answer to yours clearly referred to the small subsidiary of Lufthansa - not to Lufthansa itself. That Lufthansa CityLine operates 27 small feeder planes with maximum 90 passengers from and to Frankfurt and Munich. It is the parent airline Lufthansa that is cutting the large number of flights over several months.

Thailand has imposed a departure tax for decades. The international departure tax is currently 730 baht, and it is included in the airline ticket fee, that's why you don't notice it. Before Suvarnabhumi Airport was built, the tax was 500 baht, and you had to buy a physical ticket in the terminal before going through immigration (see photo below). It seemed like a few unlucky tourists were always begging for someone to lend them 500 baht in the departure terminal at Don Mueang Airport, as they had arrived at the airport for their flight home without enough money to buy the tax ticket. About the time Suvarnabhumi opened, the passenger service charge tickets were discontinued, and the tax was included in the airline ticket price. In 2007, the tax was increased to 700 baht, then two years ago, in 2024 it increased to the current 730 baht. Starting this year on June 20th, Thailand will increase the international departure fee to 1,120 baht. This is for international departures, the domestic flight departure fee is less. As before, the new 1,120 baht tax will be included in the airline ticket cost, and will be visible on your airline ticket receipt, along the the numerous other taxes and fees. This is the old pre-Suvarnabhumi Passenger Service Charge ticket (departure tax). As soon as you purchased the paper ticket, in typical Thailand style, another person would then punch a hole in it (Thai job security). It is a tax, see the top line on the ticket.

Idk if it was because the money was good but it really turnt quickly in a love making session.

The 1,000 baht exit fee will be applied to Thais only, not foreigners. The purpose is to encourage Thais to travel in-country, rather than spending their money overseas, to stimulate Thailand's economy. This is one time we are not seen as walking ATM's.

Joking? Perhaps you are not familiar with history.

Thanks, that explains a lot.

All fees included with Mike but I normally give the driver a tip.

I would echo what Floridarob has to say to about boys from Madagascar. I acquired one from Grindr about 18 months ago and discovered that there is a small group resident in Pattaya pretending to be students. I had him for two nights and took him to the gay section of Dongtan Beach and whilst in bed at night he performed well with a slim rock hard cock.

If I read the article correctly, they currently charge a 500 Baht exit fee and are increasing it to 1000 Baht? Slightly confused by the article, to be honest. I don't recall ever paying any exit fee to leave Thailand, unless it has been rolled into the price of airfare.

Yes, that's the Biblical narrative: all life except what was on the ark was destroyed, according to the myth. This might have been believable to people of 500 BCE, around when this was written, but we now know the idea is preposterous, for a multitude of reasons. People of those days, for instance, didn't know of other continents, with completely different species (i.e. kangaroos in Australia, howler monkeys in the New World, etc.). Wikipedia provides a quick summary of the story: "The story of the flood occurs in chapters 6–9 of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible. Ten generations after the creation of Adam, God saw that the earth was corrupt and filled with violence, and that every intention of the thoughts of man's heart was only evil continually, so he decided to destroy what he had created. But God found one righteous man, Noah, and to him he confided his intention: "I am about to bring on the Flood ... to eliminate everywhere all flesh in which there is the breath of life ... ." So God instructed him to build an ark (in Hebrew, a chest or box), and Noah entered the Ark in his six hundredth year [of life], and on the 17th day of the second month of that year "the fountains of the Great Deep burst apart and the floodgates of heaven broke open" and rain fell for forty days and forty nights until the highest mountains were covered to a depth of 15 cubits, and all life perished except Noah and those with him in the Ark. After 150 days, "God remembered Noah ... and the waters subsided" until the Ark rested on the mountains of Ararat, and on the 27th day of the second month of Noah's six hundred and first year the earth was dry. Then Noah built an altar and made a sacrifice, and God made a covenant with Noah that man would be allowed to eat every living thing but not its blood, and that God would never again destroy all life by a flood."

But billionaires are getting tax cuts while the working class suffers. Wasn't that the whole point of Making America Great Again? You socialists have no respect for capitalism.

Hopefully your source is incorrect and you will find your friend doing ok. Hate to see anyone caught up in drug scene. I worry about all of these guys working in the bars and clubs becoming alcoholics. Guess that is just one of many hazards associated with the job. Again, hope you find your friend doing okay.

Now that you mention it..... 😍

Tomorrow the government of Canada will provide a fiscal update for the budget year of April 1, 2025 - March 31, 2026. The 11 month federal budget deficit is projected to be $25.5 billion dollars (down from a projected deficit of $75 billion dollars). More or less, that's about a $30 billion dollar annual deficit. If that was true for the USA that would be less than $300 billion dollars a year. Still a massive amount but not the $1.8 trillion dollar annual deficit that this current regime in Washington is ringing up annually. The USA regime is running an annual deficit that proportionally is six times larger than the Canadian federal government's. And those deficits, are also heading in different directions. The Incompetent-in-Chief is an economic incompetent.

Ok Grindr guys are difficult and you all know hosting in Morocco is always a challenge...
