Have you ever followed someone, to watch him get increasingly successful?

True, although I didn't see other male-male couples. When he was playing in that tiny place on Melrose Ave., which didn't even have a bar (and only one toilet), the crowd was almost all men, mostly older. At the time, I'm sure he didn't get money from the ticket sales (I seem to recall the ticket prices were a paltry $15/person). Now tickets are going for $25-$35/person, plus a 2-drink minimum (I'm guessing the profit from the drinks goes to the venue, and the ticket sales to the performer). - Today

Interesting, kind of alludes to differences between Colombia and Brazil. I don’t think Brazilian hoteliers, at least anywhere I’ve been, are looking for hints of sex tourism (so long as it doesn’t involve children). And of dozens (ok, probably hundreds by now🙈) of guys I’ve met in Brazil, with few exceptions, drama doesn’t really come to mind. Haha. Incidentally on Tuesday I sent this to the Tribe Hotel Medellin but they never responded. I just resent in Spanish: -
Awww you got it. 👏🏅 (The joke that is, not the chocolate. 🤣)

Correct, Dwarf Indian, They work for tailor shops owned by Indian. Had met a few in Pattaya, Bangkok, Phuket and mostly bottom boys. Many of them were born in Thailand.

just stay home then

it's all very sad. I didn't realize that Hat Yai is below sea level. Large parts of Sri Lanka under water at the moment too and Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines with major floods too

no, you were only gays in audience who decided to disclose the fact -
I wanted to say that nature helped you to dispose things you did not really need but decided not to as it would sound to cruel. Lady above case is bit different as she seemed to lose her means of living , at least for a while. My grandparents lost their farm to floods twice in spam of 10 years ( 1960 and 1970) while I was vacationing there and I remember my wise Grandmother reflection surveying the looses after 2nd flood - "that's the price of living next to country's biggest river "

And this time with chocolate. 😏

hope not in your basement

you never fail to cheer us up

Hasn't this always been their story? "No customers, no offs, no money, many bills to pay..." What would you rather hear? "Hey Mister, you're my third customer of the day. I'm all spermed out but for 2,000 Baht I'll put up with your fat arse for the next hour or so and dream of my girlfriend or the bar girl opposite while going at it?" They are not only there to sell their bodies but also the illusion that you're their one and only John who's come to "save" them, a tactic that works well with white men who come to Asia with a modicum of guilt and a saviour mentality. The sun may have set on the empire but the burden never ceases.

When I moved out out Houston to Mexico, I had many of my belongings in a storage facility, Houston flooded and that's pretty much what all the storage places looked like. I know the feeling of losing so much and the only insurance I had was a small policy provided by the storage facility, so a pretty big loss.....🥺

Bet it'll give you pause before hiring one.... I made it part of the general "interview" questions, do you know this guy 😝

See how it feels 😝 -
Some pictures of my friend's cosmetics shop in central Hatyai after the flood. It's completely destroyed, including stocks stored in the shop. She and her family have worked very hard to establish the business. Her home several kilometres away is also badly damaged and inhabitable at the moment. They've got insurance and the capital to rebuild - which will take months - but many others don't. Small to medium enterprises like theirs have been among the hardest hit. November and December have traditionally been the busiest months in Hatyai being the Malaysian and Singaporean school holidays and now they've lost all potential business. Hopefully they'll be able to get something going by Chinese New Year in mid February next year. The first pic was taken before the flood.

So, you think British Standard about fire safety has "Absolutely nothing" with fire in the building constructed in accordance with that standard? -
And what on earth has that to do with the discussion. Absolutely nothing! My first home for 11 years was on the 25th floor of a complex of 44 skyscrapers named Baguio Villa on the Island's west coast all completed by 1981. For your information the governor at that time was the excellent and much admired Sir Murray MacLehose. I suspect the building codes were much the same as in the early 1980s. -
It was a joke!

You're truly disgusting 🤢

I would suggest 1000 if you off them from the bar to go drinking. 500 if they tag along most of the nigh, are not working somewhere or freelance. 1-200 if they just show up out of the blue on an invite after work and need a few baht for bolt home and some pre-sleep alcohol soakage Of course as peak high season approaches some BT boys would be hoping for a few offs a night, so may not be willing to leave work for 1000 and prefer to "make Hay when the sun as shining" it all depends on whether the rent is due and they are boys that like to party or those that like to accumulate wealth!

In 40 years old buildings the largest group 65+ is not a wonder with parachute you will be killed in 100% due rising air flow around hot walls... 0% chance to escape with parachute Evacuation stairs and safety floors once per 20-30 floors are most common and not that expensive options... elevators with fireproof systems exists, but they cost up to 25% of the cost of building By the way, buildings were constructed under British construction regulation laws (BS 476 - fireproof) and sold in 1983 under British governor Edward Youde, appointed to position by Margaret Thatcher

Sorry. My bad. You're quite right that I should have posted this in the Malaysia forum. Sorry about that
