I also looked it up on google maps and realised I too had passed by it a million times but never really noticed it..

I agree that using 1 and 0 is an easy way to communicate!

You can request for your favourite genre of music. They will be happy to play it for you. Normally, it's English pop hits. When there are Thai customers, the music changes to Thai pop. I once saw a group of Indians celebrating a special occasion at the sofa inside. And yes, Indian Bollywood music was being played loudly over the speakers!

Maybe the 1000 baht was meant for 500 baht off fee for muscle guy and 500 baht tip to Papasan? 🤣

In chinese, 1 and 0 is used to denote top and bottom. No prize to guess which is which. Ive used this before and has been successful. For vers, i use both hands 1 and 0 and interlocking them lol.

First time that I am hearing this. Any idea what the rationale is? When you speak of "ST" it seems that you're referring to boys from the gogo bars; not the massage places. And are you referring to Pattaya or Bangkok or both?

Flashy tall Chinese guy walked up, stood next to me whilst "'aving a fag", spoke to PapaSan who pulled one of the big muscle guys outside, crisp new 1,000 note handed over. Both then left. Might have been a special promotion? On your first point, did try to tuck it inside the condom, but too tight!

Midnight Bar, tried to sit on the sofas underneath the Happy Birthday sign, music a bit loud, just asked and they turned it down.

Awesome. Keep me posted. It would be so much easier to have a Colombian number to call tours, restaurants, etc.

I don't think I've pointed out my question adequately. This isn't about the the Supreme Court striking down progressive legislation. They're right-wing extremists, no one is expecting them to support civil rights, voting rights or small 'd' democracy. This is about this group of extremist activist justices weaponizing the shadow docket - seldom used before 2017 - to issue quick anonymous rulings that lack any explanation, legal precedent or reasoning backing them up. Presented with the exact same set of circumstances under a Republican or a Democratic President and/or Congress with the shadow docket they could issue two separate politic decisions depending on who's in power. The shadow docket decisions are more political decisions and less about the rule of law and the Constitution.

Many of the rules on prostitution and sex were devised in the immediate post war period, influenced less by the Japanese themselves and much more by the American occupiers. The Americans were in fact conflicted by their own attitudes to sex and morality. They had condemned the use of what became known as "comfort women" to provide sexual services to Japanese throughout the war. Yet the American occupiers in Japan had around 430,000 of its own troops stationed in the country and these were also young men with a high sex drive. Against this, the American view on morality was essentially conservative and its leaders did not want to be seen as condoning sex. For the Japanese there was another problem. Many of the young GIs arrived in Japan with venereal disease. So the Japanese agreed to brothels being opened but only for American military personnel. The occupying Americans' prudish attitude to sex went a lot further. Even though nudity in Japan was totally natural prior to the war with public bathing essential and whole families attending the same bathhouse (segregation was almost unheard of), this was considered going way too far in the eyes of the occupiers. Thus the Americans passed a law stipulating photos of female genitalia were banned in all media, which in those days basically meant print media. When Playboy first appeared, a small army of Japanese women used small knives to scratch out the pubic hair before it went on sale. With a series of equally conservative governments, the Japanese have never rescinded this law. It did not affect photos of males because the first gay magazine did not appear until 1971. By then, though, the rule was entrenched and was assumed to apply also to the male figure. Hence what I and most others consider the near idiotic situation of almost all gay porn for local consumption now having pixilation. What makes it so stupid is there are machines on sale in the country which will unpixilate photos! And a growing number of producers and indivduals are posting unpixilated vdos online. Some producers are starting to use utilize pixilation that is so tame it is almost unnnoticed. Yet no Japanese government will allow itself to be seen publicly as changing the law!

Fully agree. The shopping mall is like any other and there are better ones. The garden is beautiful and even more so after sunset!

or to "clean the fridge" in Thai 😀

thank you. I must pass by it million times , noticed restaurant , dined there one with boy of the day but he chose place so I did not pay any attention to the name

After my two meetings with him, I did see him omce more but did not approach him. It was about two months prior to his suicide. Friends and I were having a quick supper in the lobby of Hong Kong's Peninsula hotel prior to attending an Arts Festival concert in the Cultural Centre across the road. At one point I noticed a man sitting alone at a table by a window. It was Leslie. Clearly wrapped up in his own thoughts, he looked sad, his beautiful face then almost grey. Part of me was tempted to go up, reintroduce myself and remind him of the times we met. Then the better part of me just made me stay put with my friends. I have no idea why he was eating alone; indeed, why when feeling so obviously ill did he bother to come into such a public place where people would be bound to recognise him. But he ate alone, no one aware of who he was other that the wait staff who were all far too professional to bother him. I have before some time ago posted this PR photo for a 1981 film of three tragic young Hong Kong stars near the outset of their careers. Leslie is in the middle. On the right is Paul Cheung who became a successful radio DJ before committing suicide aged 30. On the left is Danny Chan who rose to fame a couple of years before Leslie and became a major figure in Hong Kong entertainment. He died of a drug overdose aged 35. I think Danny has the slightly better voice, although he stuck more with ballad-type songs rather than Leslie's often more edgy repertoire.

I don't think anyone's list is or will be odd. Thankfully we have all enjoyed different life experiences and it is interesting to compare those of others with one's own. Re college crushes, I could easily have put down three. I was too withdrawn at that stage to get far with two, but the third and I ended up after a year of "is he, isn't he?" concerns in a short but passionate affair. He is not on my list as we still meet up, even after all these years. As can happen, at university this one did not end on a happy note and that was largely my fault. But after a gap of some years, we bumped into each other again and have kept in touch. On my annual visits to the UK we usually meet up for a gossipy boozy lunch. We rarely talk about our college days but our gay lives since then figure prominently. He has even come to stay twice with me on short vacations to Thailand. In my working life, there must be at least six guys with whom I was close to, one for just one night, I would love to meet up with again.

Great question. Who the heel knows? I'm surprised that in this Gallup poll it is is still around 50/50 favorable. I have seen other polls that show SCOTUS as net unfavorable. Clearly right now conservatives are lovin it. And Democrats don't. We'll see if they can manage to maintain any sense of balance. I was worried that do to same sex marriage what they did to abortion. They haven't. At least not yet. Since Democrats basically have no power in the executive and legislative branches, and SCOTUS is seeming more and more like a Trump rubber stamp, it is definitely setting the stage for a reaction back toward Democrats. That reaction has clearly already started. If and when we have Democrats in charge again, it would not surprise me to see a right wing SCOTUS resist what Democrats can do. It already happened under Biden - like student loan forgiveness.

Sarica is at the corner of Soi Wall Street and Surawong. I usually go there once or twice when I'm in Bangkok. It's been in the same location for at least 15 years that I know of. They serve Thai food, with some farang and Japanese dishes. It is very popular with Japanese customers, as Soi Thaniya is only a few steps away. The menu, in addition to Thai and English, includes names of the various dishes in Japanese. I was surprised last year to find the restaurant / cafe had changed a bit, with the front section featuring a cannabis menu, and the sign outside with the name Sarica Cannabis. The front half used to be a coffee shop. The cannabis section and the restaurant are divided with glass wall, with a door between the two. The same waiters serve both sections. The side entrance on Soi Wall Street leads directly into the regular dining room.

Do report back, and let us know if you get molested there.

This ^^ is absolutely true. On the weekends you will get a smorgasbord of stunning listings that will be "new" to you. At least 30% of these are escorts. This is not a bad option when you are there.

@Chucky is locally based in Medellín and offers sound advice and insights. As I have posted here in the past, the scene in Medellín is a tougher nut to crack for the first timer. From the trip duration and expectations you described, I am going to suggest you organize a couple of encounters with Rent.men rather than chase down the local happenings. Once you are in contact, ask those guys if they can recommend other scorts with your desired attributes. Most of those escorts have connections with the guys they do threesomes (and more-somes) with, and will have short list of recommended providers. Since the Mileroticos listing left you cold, I would also suggest checking back. Many of the scorts on offer travel around Colombian cities, or even do the circuit of Mexico-Panama-Colombia. So new listings are frequent, plus the Mileroticos algo is weird, does not always show the newest listings. Try searching the city listing using heights, starting with your minimum of 180cm. Good luck.

You're welcome. It has come in very handy. Plus, it can be fun finding pics to represent your interests. lol While it's not 100% secure, I like that Notes has a lock feature to prevent accidentally opening it at inopportune moments or to prevent prying eyes from snooping.

Would these be client-client saunas, not saunas with boys?

This never occurred to me, but this is an excellent idea. I think I may do this myself.
