This is an important detail. I know an ex boy in a boyfriend situation with an older farang who supports him. It is a very stable relationship, both are happy, the boy is loyal and looks after his sponsor well. The catch is, he is straight and also lives with his wife and infant children when his sponsor is out of Thailand. I do not think I could undertake a relationship (paid or emotional) under those circumstances. I will DM you on longer term accommodation around Silom.

it is exactly what you should never do: because you will have no protection against scammers on that way - they will use your credit if balance on card will be zero... virtual cards always should be debit cards with restricted overdraft - only on that way scammers will receive from bank "sorry, not enough funds"

My mistake. Virtual credit cards are available here. Common Providers: Capital One (via Eno browser extension) Chase Bank Citi American Express I may need one of the young hunks at the bank to guide me.

Beat Ukraine? Nice try Ukraine has, quite effectively, beat itself—with Zelensky’s help. Almost every political force is now aligned against him—from the Left (because of censorship and dictatorship, and presidential elections that have already been delayed for two years) to the far Right (because of endless losing territories and negotiations with Russia)—with the sole exception of his own party. Even his own ambassador in London Zaluzhny publishes articles in Western newspapers against him. All that remains for us is to watch and wait until this spectacle culminates in their national catastrophe. The country’s budget deficit this year amounts to 50% of the total budget, while tens of billions dollars of Western aid landing to private pockets. But then again, the topic at hand is actually about bank cards.

Honestly, Brazil feels overwhelming for me, but I will think about it. I don’t know where to start. Also, not too excited about a place where I have to rely on paying for sex and have to worry about meeting guys on Grindr because they might drug me and rob me blind. Maybe I need to do some research. Also, I need more than just the prospect of sex to lure me to a place. It’s definitely one of my criteria, but not the only thing that determines where I travel.

I do have a regular who helps with IT, sorts out my phone, etc, I'll ask!

Still can't beat Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Certainly one of your twinks can show you, maybe instead of stamp collecting, you could reverse roles (not sexually) and let the student become the teacher of today's technology?? .....or there's always @Olddaddy , he seems like he's up on the latest tech 😳

or the Australian system teaching their students punctuation, eh O.D.?

The ability to issue virtual cards is a feature provided by Visa and Mastercard. Whether your bank utilizes this depends on the bank itself. And it also depends on just how modern your bank's mobile app is. In my country, digital services are highly advanced—largely because Generation Z has a strong aversion to getting out of their chairs. Among the top local banks, there are some that have absolutely no physical branches for customers; there is simply no need, as every issue can be resolved directly through the app. This even extends to services like safe deposit boxes: you simply tap a button in the app, and—wherever you specify (within your city and its suburbs)—a bank employee arrives with a safe deposit box, accompanied by two armed security guards. You take the box, unlock it with your own key, attend to your business, seal and lock the box, and they depart. This service is provided free of charge, provided you maintain a deposit balance of at least $12,500 with the bank (regardless of the currency). As for physical bank cards, they barely warrant mention: if you need a card, you issue it via the app; fifteen minutes later, a bank employee calls to ask where and when to deliver it; and a couple of hours after that, a courier arrives with the card in hand. Most banks have evolved their apps into full-fledged ecosystems. Directly through the app, you can purchase tickets for the theater, flights, or trains; rent a car; book a hotel; and calculate and pay your taxes—with the bank's AI automatically handling the calculations and suggesting strategies for tax minimization and claiming tax deductions. You can even use the app to correspond with government agencies and digitally sign official letters, rendering these messages legally binding documents. Through the app, you can insure your real estate, car, or health, as well as purchase travel insurance. You can also use it to invest in stocks and bonds, and to exchange one currency for another in any desired amount at any time (during business hours, directly on the exchange at the exchange rate; at night, at the bank's rate). You can even purchase goods—ranging from jewelry and high fashion to pizza. Furthermore, if you maintain a relatively modest deposit balance of $12,500 with the bank, you gain access to premium services. These include concierge services—who can book tickets, restaurant tables, limousines, hotels, and flights on your behalf—as well as legal experts, whom you can consult directly via the in-app chat regarding business or tax matters, and investment advisors ready to discuss where best to allocate your funds.

The balance of a virtual card is topped up directly within the banking app; since the card number is never manually entered using the phone's keypad, there is nothing for a snooper to intercept. The process typically works like this: within the app, you select "Issue Virtual Card," the card appears on your screen, you then tap on the card and select "Top Up," enter the desired amount, choose the physical card from which the funds should be drawn, and tap "Transfer." Done. Once a payment has been made, the card is left with a zero balance. I usually keep the card active until I have received the goods or utilized the service; this ensures that if anything goes wrong, any refund will be credited back to that specific card. However, as soon as the transaction is successfully concluded, the card can be deleted.

Q: What does Covid 19 and the Iran War have in common? A: Trump said they would both be over by April.

Makes no sense..... I remember when I first met @namazu in Bangkok and told him about Brasil....he seemed interested, then after his first trip, he got hooked... would be an understatement, lol Go, while you're still able to climb all the stairs of Point 202 in Rio 😁

I haven’t been to Brazil yet. Well, once, to Buzios, a short vacation from Buenos Aires. Didn’t sample any of the local treats.

I sensed a subliminal theme here....💩 😳 You've been to Brasil before, no?

Deranged he is:

Be greedy and feel it both ways 😋

Was in Macau last October and flying out of Hong Kong. Noticed they had an airport link, thinking it was just a normal type bus service. Was totally impressed at the end, that checking in for the bus in Macau was a full airport style check in, passport, ticket and luggage. Bus transfer is technically 'Airside' transfer. Transfer was about 1.5 hours at HK$140, so about £14:00.

News Flash!

I’m still in Tokyo, I’ve been in Japan about 4 weeks now, it’s been raining, it’s crowded as hell, and I’m beginning to get bored. I did a 33 temple pilgrimage in Nagoya which was really an adventure, and returning to “normal” has been a letdown. Going back and forth on whether to hire a guy but also don’t want a mediocre experience…. People continue to hit me up on Grindr that I am not interested in. I go to sentos and see these people Japanese guys and fantasize… and then this guy hits me up on Grindr. “Daddy’s boy 21” he asks if I like kinky boys. He has a nice cock, beautiful ass and is really cute. I ask what kinky means, he says piss, shit, groups, blah blah blah…ok, too extreme for me. I am very vanilla and mostly just like to suck, will bottom for the right guy but and miss the days of cruising and toilet sex. That’s about as wild as I get. But he continues. “Do you like cruising?” - I ask where it is possible in Tokyo. He says, “Shinjuku, Ueno, Asakusa” - he’s not giving me any information. Is he just playing games? Finally, he mentions saunas. Yes, I’ve been to 24 Kaikan in ni-chome. He asks if I want to meet there, I say sure. He says he can be there around 8. Ok. Then he tells me to go early and have fun. Then he says he’s working and can’t respond to messages anymore (after he’s been checking on me all day). I begin to sense he’s not planning on going, but for some reason just wants me to go there and possibly waste my time. But I had already planned on it, and it was raining, and my new Airbnb is like three blocks away, so why not? I walk over to ni-chome, have some ramen and gyoza and go to the sauna. It is the perfect crowd for me. Not packed, but not empty. A nice mix of Asian and white guys (can’t tell if all of the Asian guys are Japanese or not - obviously some Filipinos, but not sure about the others). As I walk into the wet room, a guy in one of the tubs makes eye contact. He’s a really cute Asian guy. I wash, go into the dry sauna, and then go to the steam room. He eventually meets me there. He is very cute. His cock is on the smaller side, but he has a nice pumped body and we enjoy a little play. He wants to go to a room. I had just arrived, so I decline. I’m still waiting for “Daddy’s boy”. There’s an older white guy with a really nice body and cock. He plays footsies with me in the rain sauna and I suck his cock a little. He sounds like he’s French. He wants to kiss but has really bad halitosis. We eventually stop playing and I stand up to see this beautiful hunk, I’m guessing Brazilian from the way he looks, with a very major cock. A group of guys are circled around him and he’s in the corner on the way out of the sauna. No one is doing anything, they are just standing around him. I reach out and touch his cock and he gently brushes me away. Okay, message received. I leave. It gets quiet and I go check my phone. Daddy’s boy has messaged me. “Are you there?” I say ‘yes, but I don’t think you’re coming.” I go back up and it’s quiet now. I return to the sauna and there’s this tall, muscular guy who looks Filipino and the big-dicked hunk. They are sitting across from each other. I sit down. The hung guy stands up and puts his dick in the other guys mouth. He starts sucking. And not even a minute later, he stops, sighs this wimpy sigh, and makes a face. He can’t take it. I can’t believe it. He should be on his knees worshipping that thing. I mean, this guy was absolutely gorgeous from head to toe. I can’t help myself. I say out loud, “Are you serious?” - he motions for me to suck it. I say, “he won’t let me” and it’s true, he won’t. The hunk starts jerking off and I just think, ‘too bad for you because none of these guys are going to suck it the way you want’ - some guys get it - older men have learned through years of experience, a lot of these young twinks are wimps when it comes to serving a big dick…they think they want it, but then can’t take it. They both leave. I eventually find the original cutie. We go into a shower stall and fool around. He soaps up my dick and puts it between his legs (facing each other) and makes me cum. I check my phone. Daddy’s boy has not responded. I get dressed and leave. Once I’m back in my place, Daddy’s boy messages me to tell me he is there. Obviously a mis-communication, but I am okay with it. I am sure he had fun. I wonder if he met the guy with the big dick. I have always gone early in the day because I thought evenings were too busy and for me busy means too much competition, but I actually enjoyed it, and since I’m so close, I am going to go back tonight and try again. If nothing else, it actually is a good sento - the baths feel good after weeks of walking and it’s nice to sit in the sauna and sweat a big. And who knows, I might meet a guy with a big dick who understands that older guys give the best head.

Other than grindr, is there anything to do there in terms of raunchy vanues? Tourism... ?

Projecting?

They were not available last time I checked. Will re-check.

when you top balance out , account or card number sourcing funds may be snatched and compromised the same way as if doing payment, no ?

you not alone. I wonder if banking systems in our countries allow it at all ?
