I don't think we can search regions but we can search specific cities/towns anywhere. If we're not paying then we can only save the occasional one as a favourite but it can save time when we get there.

Sorry about the typo. My question is about how to search for guys from specific geographic areas on Grindr. I think race is no longer a search option. Is there a way to filter guys from Africa or South Asia or East Asia on Grindr?

I should add: Firuzaga Hamam takes credit cards.

Bangkok Post: "Police seized 189 pearling beads in round, cubic, bean, heart, capsule and Chinese bun shapes from his car." I didn't know these beads (mooks) came in different shapes! And from the photo in the newspaper, in different colours!

I remember that the sofas were sticky, also that the handrail on the stairs was loose! But, 20 years ago or more, it was fun.

Engage in a conversation, buy him a drink or two, make it clear that you fancy him and ask if he would be interested in spending some private time with you. There are various face saving answers that can be ways of saying no thank you to you, eg I have got a boyfriend. Thais are good at this and I don't expect he would be offended to be asked but don't treat him like an off boy. I don't imagine that the waiters/bartenders there are offable to anyone who asks in the way that a gogo guy is.

Man caught providing pearling, penile enlargement service in car https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3123636/man-caught-providing-pearling-penile-enlargement-service-in-car The mind boggles!

Just a quick report about Firuzaga Hamam before I forget. The visit was in the second half of November. I can't remember what time I arrived but it was after dark; could have been 6pm. The place was quite busy in that there were always customers in every part of the hammam. Whilst the majority seemed to be local, there were some English-speaking customers as well, including at least three East-Asian-looking guys during the time I was there. It's a traditional hammam with walls and floor tiles over a century old. Don't expect any luxury. It's also quite small, but enough. On entry, I was assigned a private changing room. Later, I noticed that there were lockers upstairs, so apparently one can choose whether to have a room or a locker. Not sure what the price differential is. Beyond the front room (the private changing rooms led off it) which also served as the tea room, the wet areas included one main steam room, two washing rooms, two dry saunas, and smaller side rooms for body scrub, Up one floor were the lockers and massage rooms. The attendents noticed straight away that I looked a bit too long at their menu of services, and so, of course, I must be interested! If I recall correctly, it was 400 lira for entry, 200 lira for "peeling" (body scrub) 15 minutes; 650 lira for oil massage 35 minutes; and 200 lira for soapy wash 15 minutes. One guy (Murad) latched on to me and that was a negative, because I had wanted to sit longer in the steam room to sweat it out, and observe the goings on before getting serviced. But he came to me barely 3 or 4 minutes after I had finished washing myself to say it's time for the scrub. I had barely begun to sweat; the steam wasn't that hot. The scrub was done with a rough mitten (good) and was quite thorough (in terms of area coverage), though Islamic modesty being what it is, the groin was not scrubbed at all. After being washed down, I was led upstairs to a massage room where he gave an fairly good massage with firmness and consistency. Nothing suggestive at all. In fact, he didn't close the massage room door, but only a curtain made for privacy. Then downstairs again where he performed the classic Turkish soap wash. I've had this before, the traditional way including slapping, but Murad did not slap. All done, he said I was free to use the steam room for as long as I wished, which was sequentially illogical. I should have been given time to sweat it out and open my pores first before services were provided. Anyway, I still spent another 15 minutes or so in the main steam room, observing the goings on. The bottom line: a bit of suggestiveness, but I don't know if anything can really go on because there simply is no private space. OK, maybe there is the private changing room which comes with a very narrow bunk, but if two men have entered the same changing room together, it would be terribly visible to the attendants and other customers in the front room. What was unusual was that, in the wet areas, some customers were "careless" about covering up while walking around, which was not something I'd seen in other hamams. They could have been foreigners rather than locals; I couldn't tell. Overall, it's good value for money although whether other attendants give as good a massage as Murad I do not know. The total I paid, including 20 lira more for a cold drink from the fridge was 1,470 lira which was about 30 euros. I think I spent a total of about 90 minutes inside. Getting there: I Uber'd. But when I finished, I walked downhill (not steep) to main road that parallels the coast and where the tram runs. So it should be easy enough to reach via tram.

Good Boys, former New Screw Boys. I haven't been since before Covid.

they'll think it's the maple syrup....

Ambiance?... I hope the floor coverings and furniture are all new. And not sticky...

I rarely make any comments on posts around this topic as I don't wish to engage in the back and forth, but I had to laugh at this because from everything I have ever read in any similar posts, the only offender of a blatant disregard for the facts is the one I just quoted.

Smaller, plenty of men so you will probably like someone, a bit less twinky, drinks same price, well worth a look

I had to switch around my vacation time and am going now at the beginning of January. I will report back.

Anyone can personal message me if they have questions. I'm less overwhelmed now but I might take a few days to reply as I don't come on here everyday.

I assume that all the staff are quite used to the question so they will take no offense. I am curious to see what more experienced members think. There is a particular waiter at Stranger Bar that checks all my boxes.

You could ask for his Line to contact him outside business hours. That's not insulting, and he'll understand your message.

I've taken a fancy to a bartender at Balcony Bar on Soi 4. Is it possible to hire these guys? I'm hesitant to broach the subject with him because I want to enjoy his continued excellent service and I'm afraid an inappropriate offer would be insulting or awkward.

Indeed, welcome!

Certainly he hasn't. The hostitilites have started again. A Thai soldier and 4 Cambodian civilians have been killed. Thailand has launched air strkes and it is estimated several thousand have fled the border area. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c4g5e1p585qt

The menu is rather limited (no espresso, smoothies, fruit bowls) but I found the American breakfast to be quite good and better than the similar offering at Breakfast Story.

Bullshit!

I've never been to Good Boy bar. How does it compare to Fresh Boys? Tonight is my last night in Bangkok. I would like to explore some new bars.

I hope you're getting tested and know your status. Those young boys are already dealt with a hard life to the point they'll risk their health for extra cash.

I'd love to try these African guys, too. However, I'm worried, since HIV rates are so high from where they came from. Are they okay with using condoms? Also, I read somewhere that most of them are scammers. Any tips on how to spot and avoid them?
