All Activity

Royal Spa, didn't make it thru Covid and never reopened, ranks as maybe my best massage AND sex, guy was an amazing top and he initiated the action....but it was a known massage shop with sex, no tip, pricing like Japan. https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-royal-spa-萬華區 https://www.travelgay.com/venue/the-royal-spa

It is SOOO handy having the hotel staff also as sex staff...

I asked Gemini "Where do the Chinese get information about gay gogo bars and massage shops in Bangkok" and the answer was: When Chinese travelers head to Bangkok, they don't usually rely on Google Maps or TripAdvisor. Instead, they navigate a specialized ecosystem of Chinese-language apps and niche social media platforms that offer hyper-specific reviews on everything from the "vibe" of a gogo bar to the "service quality" at a massage shop. Here is where they get their information: 1. Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) This is the "Holy Grail" for modern Chinese travelers. It functions like a mix of Instagram and Pinterest. How they use it: Users post detailed "travel logs" (vlogs or photo carousels) with titles like "Bangkok Gay Travel Essential Guide" or "Silom Soi 6 Massage Review." * The draw: It’s highly visual and relies on peer-to-peer trust. Travelers look for specific keywords like 曼谷同志 (Bangkok Gay), GoGo Bar, or 按摩 (Massage) to find curated lists of the "hottest" spots. 2. Heesay (formerly Blued) As the most popular gay dating app in China, Heesay is a major info hub. The "Travel" feature: The app often has location-based features or community groups where users share real-time tips. Live Streaming: Many Chinese influencers or expats living in Bangkok live-stream from areas like Silom Soi 2 or Soi 4, giving viewers a real-time look at the crowd before they even book a flight. 3. WeChat Groups & Official Accounts Private Groups: Frequent travelers often belong to private WeChat groups (sometimes with hundreds of members) where they share "insider" info, warning each other about scams or recommending specific "numbered" masseurs. Official Accounts: Specialized travel accounts (like "Pink Economy" bloggers) publish long-form guides that provide addresses, entry fees, and "strategies" for navigating gogo bars like Jupiter or Moonlight. 4. Niche Community Forums Finka: Another popular Chinese gay dating app (similar to Tinder/Instagram) used by a younger, more "aesthetic-focused" demographic to see where the "cool" guys are hanging out in Bangkok. Douban Groups: While older, Douban still hosts specific groups dedicated to LGBTQ+ travel where users post long, text-heavy reviews and "etiquette" guides for Thai saunas and massage shops.

Yes that’s the one. Back to square one, still looking for a good non-bar spot. Years ago a boy brought me to an open air beer bar and restaurant with live music (very good, fun local vibe) but it probably doesn’t exist anymore.

And many would say ....many parts of the community tolerate but don't agree with homosexuality The flaunting , the short shorts showing bum cheeks , etc no wonder many during the World gay week in Sydney Australia were taunted and even assaulted I too was abused by these American gays going about my business I may be gay but I have no respect for them and even I get into the abuse if I have to I remember sitting in a Australian bar over in Soi Bukhao in Pattaya sitting outside with the other Australian tattooed shirts off farangs all drinking heavily🍻🍻 when we spotted two gays walking past holding hands with each other , a middle aged Asian guy who looked Chinese or Korean and a fit looking middle aged farangs complete with his man bag 👛 I immediately held my beer bottle up to them as the Aussie guys sitting next to me , said " look ..faggots ! 🧐😱😳😳 Pointing at these two slowly walking past holding hands 👬👬 I yelled out holding my beer 🍺 bottle up to them " Get outta here ya faggots !!!!🗯️😠😡😤 I yelled 🗣️🗯️ And Don't come back here ever ! They scampered , both wearing man bags 🫩 the cheers of all the tattooed Aussies who bought me a beer later , I felt a kind of liberated after that , a freedom of expression and it felt so good 🍺

What is the 3rd one besides 773 and Opiniao? I know my favourite 520 (now Domo) no longer has GPs.

If you know someone who works with the government, you can get a huge discount with their CPF. I was with a Brazilian friend at a pharmacy, and he said to use his ex's CPF (police or some gov department); my original total R600++ became R100++ with the CPF. (I didn't set out to use other's CPF from the start)

@travguy You were at Bangu every Sunday. How were the GPs over there in your recent visits? Would you say it is better than New Meio Mundo or the same? Are there at least 1 or 2 with athletic build or mostly boy-next-door twink? I know @Latbear4blk and others have commented - just wanna know if anything changed since. I still haven't been, so I might go on my next trip.

Your on the bus in Cambodia 🇰🇭 Can I come too ?

Even Mike Johnson had a hard time saying it.

I did the bus thing many years ago, but what recall about it was that there was no phone signal almost the length of the route (6 hours, if I recall correctly). I am intrigued that you're posting this "on the bus"... Have things improved?

Looking forward to your report. I think you also mentioned in an earlier post that you'll try to find out how the Taiwanese (or other Chinese speakers) know about the bars and other places in Thailand and which platform they use to chat/share. I'd be most interested to know too, as I have long been intrigued why Fresh Boy and Dream Boy get a consistent Chinese crowd but Hotmale and Moonlight are nearly bare on the same nights.

Post of the week , very true Vinapu Spelling is no longer a factor in exams in schools anymore anyway ,as long as the point is made ❗ Having said that , as my neighbour Leo Sayer sings " I just feel like dancing ,dancing the night away !!🎶

The reason the Kennedy Center is failing is because Trump unilaterally decided it was giving too much prominence to a democrat. So he renamed it the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. The problem is that a galaxy of artists have now refused to perform there. More problematic for the arts is that the Washington National Symphony Orchesta, one of the nation's finest, has nowhere else to perform in the city durig the two year closure. The Washington Opera had already stated it would abandon the Center and find other venues. Additionally, Trump will have to find a way of overcoming the deed which set up the Center as a memorial to Kennedy and paid for partly by public funds. Congress decided the Center's name and Congress will have to pass a reolution to change it.

Reading another site based in Singapore with a major travel section, there is mention of a hot spring named Wulai66. Difficult to find descriptions but there is a sudden burst of posts about it. You access it via Xindian MRT station from which there is a shuttle bus to the Volando Urai Spa and Resort. A couple of the posts suggest this is the new hot spring most popular now with gay guys, even more than Huang Tzu. Judging by the comments on the website, I am not sure how accurate this is, but it certainlly seems a great place. It is much more in the country closer to New Taipei City and has great views plus the usual hot spring facilities. Tik Tok claims it is the "best gay hot spring in Taipei City". The hot spring is nearly one hour on the minibus and the shuttle should be pre-booked. The last one back to town is around 7:30 pm. So a taxi or public bus to the MTR station is necessary. It seems to be in an ultra-scenic location with lots of pathways and little old towns nearby. Not sure when i can get to it but I will write a report later in the year.

I doubt Republicans will do well in the midterm elections.

Sorry I have never taken a professional massage in Taiwan. From what I read in another forum where Asians love to go to Taipei for massages, they are not full-service, merely HEs. And although it is often remarked that there are too many Taiwanese bottoms on the island, I hear that this is very unusual for masseurs to top or bottom in professional spas. Sometimes extras can be negotiated, but I would not go to a professional masseur without checking what you are looking for first.

I agree Thais may not have any problem when they see an older westerner with a much younger Thai guy or lady. But the people who gawped at my bf in Venice were not Thai - they were I think English. I don't give a f--k what people think, but I got upset when I saw my bf embarrassed to the point where he was almost about to abandon breakfast and return to our room. I felt i had no choice but to do something to ease his concern. And I maintain i was correct in that situation in that particular year.

Please be assured my comment was not intended to be any slur on non-native English speakers. I was merely trying to compare @Olddaddy's usual posting style (which does sometimes have errors - as do mine) with that of Devinnt 6669 which has a lot more.

Do the massage places in Taipei include full-service happy endings? Do they top or bottom? How is that service negotiated, and are additional tips expected? Thanks!

I would change "need to" to "must". In fact, I would go a lot further - even accepting I am not an American. I have only visited around 35 times. The entire political system in the USA is broken, is open to widesread corruption, needs a complete rethink and the vastly outdated constitution and its amendments thrown into the trash can with a more up-to-date one adopted that is far more suited to the 21st century.

@Birmingham boy you're leaving before all the sexy guys flood zona colonial. Independence day is February 27 in the DR. There is NO OTHER place you should be on February 27, but zona colonial. Its EXTREMELYYYYYYYYYY FESTIVE and full of BIG DOMINICAN DICKS ALL OVER THE PLACE. Oh my brother! You should really extend your trip until at least Sunday. I promise you wont regret it.

This thread hits on what I suspect will be his true legacy. He will be remembered as President Bankruptcy. The biggest question in my mind is how long it will take. Better than being called Hitler by Vice President Herbert JD Hoover, I guess. 😉 And poor @Barknaway. I'm worried the bond vigilantes will eat him.

And what about my reading?

The easiest way for him to DEMOLISH it, is to close it for 2 years so people forget about it, then rebuild and open it as The Donald J Trump Center, erasing the Kennedy legacy..... He probably wants the World to believe HE was the ONLY President ever in America......
