I think this may be consistent across the Furama brand as I experienced the same at one of the Furama hotels in Singapore. I ended up with so many spare towels lol

My Way

good news , specially those extra towels, handy if more than one a day guest is invited

Khun Bon still has businesses in Paradise, or did when I was last there two or three years ago. The busiest run by his very handsome and charming boyfriend. Not so sure about Tangmo, who was always reputed to be harsh on his staff.

Miss George Santos, freshly out of prison on a pardon from fellow criminal Trump, shot like a bat out of hell back into polite not so polite society by throwing the ULTIMATE GRIFTER Xmas bash, complete with other famous criminals and MAGA maniacs. In attendance: Anna Delvy, Martin Skrelli, Majorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert... It was a festive, holly, jolly affair, with Santos flaunting his "freedom" and the fact that he "beat the system"..... Guests better be checking their pockets to see if they still have their Wallets ? Merry Christmas Miss Santos !

FIFA just seems like a criminal enterprise, from my understanding.

In the US at least, prisons are typically state facilities, usually for longer sentences (over a year), and have hardened criminals. Jails are county (or city) facilities, typically used to incarcerate less serious offenses, and those incarcerated there aren't quite as nasty..

I am a HUGE DWTS fan....I always fantasize about twirling around in those skimpy sequin fringe costumes with my "cameltoe" showing. BUT I can also see thru BULLSHIT. Even when your boy TRIED to shed a tear and have a moment, it came off FAKE. But, lets not shortchange the guy, he has a great ASS, and proved he COULD DANCE. So, how can I not LOVE Little Irwin ? But you still can have him. Me and Mamdani are doing GREAT ! NOT THE "BIGGEST" SNAKE, BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THE SWEET BOY ?"

Well, Constantino has to recoup the COST of that disgusting trophy and ugly medal they had made to bribe and appease Trump.... As always, the "people" have to pay for it !

That's just an excuse for a party, or for selling merchandise. I doubt that the average Thai has any idea what it's supposed to be about.

As all that Xmas BS

Yeah, I don’t know about the 100/120 guys🤷‍♂️ This one for example started at 300 doesn’t kiss and wanted an extra 100 to bareback. He was willing to pare back to 300, but that seems to be take it or leave it. If I was really into him, I’d certainly take it, but he’s just kinda borderline as it is…

I like the hotel rooms with a tablet/touch screen where you can state: Fill up my coffee/water/fridge Toilet paper Make my bed Change my sheets/towels Remove the remands of my last visitor 😉 Don't disturb me till... Bring breakfast for two at ... am/pm Don't bother me at all... That's the tip for the cleaning lady/boy etc Happend to me lately in a hotel in Europe. Without that they leave you alone

That's right, Bon! I had forgotten his name. Any idea what happened to him and Tangmo, who was the other major player on the strip?

Was it My War bar or My Way?

Ah Khun Bon. There are many stories. Acted like a dominatrix but he could turn on the charm when he wanted. Last time we were in Patong, where I have been many times, he gave us such a low humble wai on the street that he was practically on his knees. It was scary! A bit like a gangsters kiss to mark you as a target!

I read that astrology, spirits and auspicious dates matter more but western ideas about 13 have reached there.

Enjoyed reading these, thx!

Is 13 unlucky in Thailand also? I thought it was something Christian to do with the12 disciples or something.

I had a completely different experience in this hamam. At first, I was wearing underwear, but then the therapist took it off himself. It all ended with a massage in a small room where another naked man was already being massaged. It was very strange and exciting. Perhaps something has changed since then...

Hoping for a bigger tip?

I feel like a high roller after reading these. 😆 Regardless of whatever the bargain going rate is, I feel guilty offering anything less than 200K. I mean it's only $50. I remember one Medellin guy posted his rate on his ad at like 70K and the level of service I got was off the charts lol. The profession they chose is not an easy one. I especially admire the straight guys who do this line of work. I always think how miserable I'd be if for pocket change I had to get with old wrinkly women. 🤮 Likewise, any guy who asks for 300 or up right away, I think someone said it earlier, just a red flag that they're going to be a big swing and a miss once they arrive.

🤣 Good one, vinapu, and believe it or not, having seen their daily catwalk on social media recently, quite a few of the guys in their line-up are, shall we say, a little long in the tooth, and have worked all over Thailand for a decade or so. They looked a bit tired to me and in my view can't hold a candle to the hunks in the Thai bars. That said, this story reminds me of a bar where the staff, once in the bar's employment, are bound to it like in a traditional Catholic marriage. Old hands of "gay Thailand" might remember My War bar in Patong, Phuket. It was the biggest gay go go bar along the strip and the owner, a Phuket native also owned a few smaller bars and other businesses in the area. By many accounts he was a nasty character with connections to the Phuket underworld (or so it was claimed). He had a system where, if a staff member, especially a popular one, wanted to quit before the end of their "contract", they had to pay him compensation and he had no qualms in enforcing this "contract" through his goons. One staff member had escaped to Chiang Rai with his new farang boyfriend and the My War bar owner sent his goons after them and made the farang pay 100,000 baht to "release" his Thai guy from his "contract". Sadly, Phuket has an unsavoury reputation for scams be it for jet skis, overpriced taxis or bar shenanigans.

BBC headline: Cambodia shuts border crossings with Thailand as fighting continues https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd0kkyx3vvxo Cambodia has shut its border crossings with Thailand, as fighting continues between the two forces on Saturday despite US President Donald Trump earlier saying they had agreed to a ceasefire. The crossings will be closed until further notice, according to Cambodia's interior ministry. Earlier, Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said he told Trump a ceasefire would only be possible after Cambodia had withdrawn all its forces and removed landmines. Thai officials said four soldiers were killed on Saturday, as both sides reported continued bombing and artillery exchanges. Cambodia has not been updating its military casualty figure. Cambodia's defence ministry said that Thai fighter jets bombed hotel buildings and a bridge, while Thailand reported several civilians were injured in a Cambodian rocket attack. The four deaths on Saturday bring Thailand's total military death toll since Monday to 15, with 270 others injured. It added that six civilians had also been injured. On Friday, Cambodia said at least 11 civilians had been killed and 59 others injured. At least 700,000 people have been evacuated on both sides of the border. [Story continues with mention of Trump but I don't want to give him any attention.] --- I think most Cambodians had left Thailand earlier in the year when the border dispute first surfaced, if I remember threads from earlier. So, closing the border may not make much difference anymore to the bars and massage parlours in terms of staffing.
