999 Massage (Jomtien Complex) Unfortunately my back has been playing up so I’ve been avoiding aggravating it further but finally decided to try this place. Set up like a standard massage place with chairs downstairs. Probably 12 guys available and decided on a one hour aroma massage so as not to push it. Upstairs lots of cubicles but not floor to ceiling. No shower before (or after ). Boy seemed to know what he was doing massage wise though was wearing underwear and T shirt. Very quickly realised there would be at lease a Happy ending as he pressed his crotch into my feet and hands as the massage progressed. Although the massage was reasonably good, it certainly didn’t last an hour. The boy gave me an exquisite BJ however so I wasn’t complaining. This may be my last massage of the trip. My back is pretty bad and I need to avoid making the trip home a nightmare.

If you are really into Mr Nakki try msg him in IG - he may accept an extravagant offer if he is in need of cash! From his IG profile it appears that gay lifestyle is not alien to him (although I'm quite sure he is not gay). I saw him and Mr Rome outside Moonlight after the anniversary show in April - even in street clothes he is a very handsome hunk. Perfect muscular body from his IG pics and from the guest appearance at the anniversary show. No, Mr Nakki is not a Moonlight model, but hopefully he will back for other events. We have been gossiping about him in this thread from early April, so you will find more info about him if you read the last 8-10 pages or so. Good luck and do report back if you are able to get a date with him.

The drag show was just PART of the show, they had gogo's and male dancers also. Is the ONLY gay bar in Jakarta and only open certain days....I would go back in a second, had a lot of fun, but I brought someone with me. People tended to stay in their groups, however did get quite a few messages later and the next day from people that said they say me at the club. 1.I have T-Mobile for my cell phone and seems that it doesn't require VPN in places that the apps are blocked....when I connected to Wifi, I needed a VPN. 2. I stayed in South Jakarta, Kunigan, walking distance to the bar (even though I only went 1 night)...was convenient to restaurants, movies and no one seemed to have a problem fining me... 3. I heard no problems at western hotels, I stayed at AirBnb and no problem at all...weird looks from security, but never said anything. 4. Seems like ALL action is on the apps, doesn't seem to be a "cruising" scene...confirmed with everyone I met.

Not at all. In Pattaya there are plenty of them all over town, and now more of them than before. They're not just for farang and Thais. Most accommodate Thai couples who need a place to go other than at home with their entire families present. As stated above, if you want to off a boy and take him to a short-time room, why ask us? Ask the boys. They all know just where to go. Have a look here, and these are just some of them: http://www.pattayasweethearts.com/loveinns.htm

Some background info – 35 year old mixed Caucasian/Asian, last trip to Thailand (Bangkok) was in 2016, was invited to a wedding in Phuket so I thought I would visit a few other places at the same time. Pre-Thailand My first stop was Cambodia (Siem Reap) for 3 days. My first time here. After flying for most of the day, I finally arrived, found the tuk tuk driver which the hotel provided and was on my way to the hotel (trying to avoid water being thrown on me as it was the last day of Khmer new year). Hotel was fine and room was comfortable (had a nice view of a wall), close to pub street but not too close. Found some dinner (and 50c beer) and called it a night. The next day I spent lazing around the pool in the glorious hot weather, talked to a guy on grindr who said he did massage (let’s call him Charles [not his real name]), so he came to my hotel and I received an okay massage (and pretty decent extras). He was pretty chatty, and his English was quite good so we spent some time having a chat. Apparently my hotel had a rooftop bar, so I went and had a look and no one was there. Ended up going to a night market and I bought a shirt, and ate some street food, whilst sitting on the smallest chair and table imaginable. The next day I went to Angkor Wat with a guide from Siam Roads, and was impressed by the magnitude of it and how it is still standing after 900 years. Also visited Ta Prohm. Later when I got back to the hotel, went back to the rooftop bar and still no one there. Ended up going to pub street and had dinner at the red piano, and got a decent foot massage nearby by a cute Khmer guy. Whilst having a cigarette outside the front of my hotel later that evening, a rat scurried over my foot. My final day in Siem Reap consisted of going to Phnom Kulen waterfall (with guide) which was amazing and visiting Blue Hatha later on. Massage was pretty perfunctory which I expected, and extras nothing more than a handjob, but the guy was cute nonetheless. Thailand (Pattaya and Phuket) Since I went to BKK in 2016, I decided to give Pattaya a go this time round. The flight to BKK from Siem Reap was quick and non-eventful, ended up arriving ahead of schedule and caught the 2pm Bell Travel Service bus (in hindsight, could have caught the 12pm bus but didn’t feel like testing my luck in case the plane was late) for 280 baht, took about an hour and a half, then transferred to a mini bus which took nearly an hour as it dropped off all of the other passengers first (of course I was the second last to be dropped off). I stayed at the Avani and wow it was quite a step up compared to my hotel in Siem Reap. Big room, huge bed and a balcony with a nice view of the gardens. I ended up booking a massage with a guy I found online (his ad specified it was a legit massage only, and I was fine with that), and the massage was quite good, but still ended up somehow having a happy ending! I asked him if he wanted extra tip to which he replied ‘up to you’ so I gave him a little extra. It ended up being a pretty good deal for a 2-hour massage. I was too lazy to do anything else that night, so I ordered room service and went to sleep. The next day I went across the road to Pattaya beach, walked all the way to the northern end of it and all the way back, and then hired a beach chair to sit on for a while. The weather was so hot and humid, but I actually didn’t mind it. Later on, I was talking to a guy from hornet, a Thai guy from BKK who was here on holiday. He seemed quite nice and we got along but his profile didn’t have his face pic, and when he did send it, it turned out that he wasn’t quite my type, but I ended up meeting him anyway. We met at Pattaya beach and just sat around for a while talking, and using google translate to help. Ended up going back to his hotel (which had an infinity pool and an amazing view of Pattaya at night) and handjobs were exchanged. Sweet guy though, we are still in contact. I walked through BoyzTown on my way back to my hotel and it didn’t seem like a lot was going on so I didn’t go to any bars. The next day the strangest thing happened. So I was on grindr and ‘Charles’ from Cambodia messaged me and I noticed he was a few km’s away. He did mention a few days ago that he might go to Thailand to work, and that in itself isn’t out of the ordinary. But for him to be close by on grindr while I happened to be in Pattaya, pretty co-incidental. So he ended up messaging me because I thought he wanted to meet up, and somehow during the conversation he was saying that we have never met, even though I have all the chat history! And then he started sending me pictures of other guys. I ended up ignoring him because the situation was a little odd. Later I ended up walking to Pattaya viewpoint (and oh boy was I sweating out of every orifice imaginable), couldn’t find it because I was on the wrong side of the road, eventually found it and the view was amazing! Had a rest after taking some photos, and then decided to go to Dongtan Beach in Jomtien. Ended up walking there as well. Found the rainbow flags, was chatted up by a Cambodian guy, and just hung out on a beach chair for a few hours, using my new favourite phrase ‘mai ow’ to the people that wouldn’t take no for an answer when selling things. My plan was to take a baht bus back to my hotel, but stupid me ended up walking back for some reason. But I made it back, and was totally exhausted. Also walked the whole way in thongs (flip-flops for the americanos), which probably weren’t the best walking shoes. Didn’t meet up with any guys that day, and was too tired to go out so I ordered room service again, and it was a pizza, which turned out to be huge so I said to myself ‘I’ll just eat half of it now, and have the rest tomorrow’ but then I ended up eating the whole thing. My last day consisted of going to Koh Larn. Got on the ferry which didn’t take too long, walked to Ta Yai beach and had lunch at an overpriced restaurant. It was a nice little beach, not too crowded. I got bored so I walked back to the ferry and caught it back to Pattaya and went back to my hotel for a little while. After that I ended up walking to Royal House (was going to go to Helios but changed my mind at the last second, and I’m glad I did). You know when you go to these places and are presented with a selection of guys and sometimes it takes a while to choose? Well here, I knew exactly the guy I wanted as soon as I saw him. 25 year old guy from Isan, a little shorter than me, with a smaller frame, but toned. He was lovely. Let’s call him ‘James’. I think we had a bit of a connection, okay massage, really good afters. We both got to test our ‘versatility’. We are still in contact today, and he doesn’t work at Royal House anymore, instead now he works in a factory. Was going to go to BoyzTown on my way back, but I was pretty satisfied to be honest, so since this was my last day in Pattaya, I’ll just have to visit again. And hopefully for longer next time. The next day I organised a car to take me to U-Tapao airport (which in hindsight I should have just taken the bus back to BKK – would have been way cheaper), and I flew to Phuket. Never been here before either. Caught the smart bus to my hotel in Karon Beach (the bus stop was not near my hotel so I ended up walking for about 10 minutes with my suitcase which was lots of fun). Checked in with no dramas, and although the room was pretty average, the view was pretty amazing. Not too much to talk about here as the next day I had a (female) friend from my home city come to stay with me as we were going to the wedding together. What can I say about Phuket? So many tourists, can be quite busy (although we didn’t stay in Patong), and most things were expensive. Anyway, explored a little bit, hung out, ate a bit too much, relaxed a lot, and went to the wedding which was beautiful. On my last day there I ventured out by myself and went to Patong. Ended up going to 4 massage (on the way was accosted by guys from Linley massage, who looked pretty decent so that’s a place I can explore if I come back), decided to splurge and got a 4-handed massage. Most guys there weren’t really my type but I chose 2 that were suitable. One of the 2 that I chose was really quite playful which I hadn’t experienced before at massage places, so it was nice. Anyway the 4-handed massage was okay, nothing too special, and then decent afters with both guys, one after the other. That was new for me, but I loved it. Walked around Jungceylon after that, but it was like any other mall you would find anywhere really. Post-Thailand The rest of the trip was pretty non-eventful, caught a plane to the Philippines and didn’t meet up with any guys while I was there as I was staying with family, but I did chat to a guy on grindr who I’m still talking to today, so maybe when I visit again I can meet up with him. I had a really great trip, and it was a long time in the making as I had booked everything about 6 months before I left. I had a great time ‘butterflying’ around, as I never seem to have much sex with guys in my own city. It’s just so much easier overseas for some reason, and I get so much more attention. And I managed to not get food poisoning like last time! Anyway, I’m planning another trip in October, this time to BKK. I’d like to see ‘James’ again (don’t worry, I’m not in love with him, he is just a decent guy who I’d like to spend some more time with), and he said he would stay with me whilst in BKK. I might also spend some time in Singapore or Malaysia, I don’t know just yet, still brainstorming. Thanks for reading!

I am quite fond of David Miranda, but am not a fan of Glenn Greenwald, not in the least. But I do love how Glenn Greenwald somehow always seems to get the press to gloss over the circumstances of their meeting. David Miranda was a 20-year-old Ipanema Posto 9 beach hustler high school student living in a very poor favela and Greenwald was a 38 year old rich Harvard-educated attorney American tourist trolling the gay beach, while staying in an Ipanema penthouse. You know exactly what this was about! “His life changed, he says, one day in 2005, when he was playing volleyball on Ipanema beach and accidentally knocked over an American tourist’s drink. That tourist was attorney Glenn Greenwald, better known today for his journalism. Miranda and Greenwald got to talking, fell in love and moved in together after just five days. “We’ve been together constantly since,” Miranda says. Greenwald, now 52, helped support Miranda going back to school. In 2014 he graduated from ESPM, a publicity and marketing school in Rio de Janeiro.“ http://time.com/collection-post/5584910/david-miranda-next-generation-leaders/?xid=fbshare

25 dogs?! That's nuts.

I'm tall and white. I do my best, but I stand out in a lot of parts of the world. It isn't demeanor or clothing, it's just physical presence.

I was lucky enough to ride several times with a friend on a buddy pass to the South Pacific years ago. Most of the time we were lucky enough to get First seats. We were the only ones wearing a coat and tie with shined shoes (a company policy for buddy pass riders and other stand-bys). All of the other First passengers looked like refugees from a church bazaar sale, except for the obvious price of the clothes. I suppose if you can afford an $8,000 ticket you can dress as you please. Still, I had no doubt these folks were well to do or better. It is a combination vibe of actions, speech and other mannerisms. Best regards, RA1

Great article but not too sure of this guy is really considered black.... Also, 20 yrs old and 38 yrs old...very interesting....A rich Harvard Educated Attorney decides he wants a 20 r old poor Carioca....How cliche....

Lagoa might have the best facilities in Brazil (not 100% sure about this actually, when compared to 117 or 202 now) but it has the worst layout ever. You're never able to get an idea about how many, who are and where are the garotos inside the sauna, so you actually need to do an active search. If you stay at the tables by the pool you cannot see what happens in the corridor and in the bar, if you stay un the bar you cannot see what happens in the corridor....and so on. In Brazilian saunas I usually like to spend my time at the bar watching the guys to make a decision, in Lagoa it's not an easy task IMHO.

Curiosity killed the cat. You’re right. Hardly anyone can “live up to my incredibly high standards”. However, I have found a number of them to keep me company. Especially, but not necessarily limited to, Brazil. If we are never going to sleep together, why does it matter to you what I like? Are you a professional matchmaker? If you’re comfortable with your preferences, and I’m comfortable with mine, and neither of us have any issues landing what we like, then that’s all that should matter. Right?

That’s their story and they’re sticking to it! BTW, anyone who’s a semi-regular at the beaches along Posto 8 and 9 (especially the gay section) already knows that it would be almost logistically impossible for a volleyball game to interfere with where the beach dwellers are sitting / laying down having drinks. Unless that beach dweller is trolling really, really close to the volleyball net, cruising the players!

Just go to Ipanema beach and wait for someone to accidentally knock over your drink

1. David Miranda is a handsome garoto, but he isn’t my physical type at all. Maybe he is yours. One could certainly do worse. 2. Greenwald looks like a toad that jumped out from under a pond rock. What you’ve mis-detected is disgust for his physical appearance and disdain for his role in politics. He (and David, and kids and dogs) have a nice place in Gavea, though.

It's about 4am, Sunday, in California as I keyboard this. I am a slow adjuster to jet lag...so my solution is to ignore it and take lots of naps which gradually fade into a full night's sleep. So back to reporting. As noted in a previous post, I had finished my Wednesday and most of Thursday (my last full day in Thailand) report and was editing it as Michael took the site down for maintenance. Thus, in a microsecond, my most witty comments, phased in poetry, and full of meaningful insights disappeared into the ether. Guess, it's back to slogging out some clumsy prose. When Noo left it was close to noon and my friend Ya arrived in a taxi to whisk me off to the Intercontinental Resort for a major lunch at the Infiniti restaurant over looking the sea from an angle that keeps the view away from Pattaya's main beach. The resort is on a series of hills and so we opted for the golf cart to bring us to the restaurant. We ate and talked for more than tour hours and then back by golf cart to Ya's waiting taxi. He hires one as he needs it on an on-call basis for half a day at a time. He then showed me the properties he is managing and I was reintroduced to some of his friends. Bu the time I was back at the hotel, I just had time to stop in at Next Tailors and pick up the shirts I had made. 30 minutes later, showered and changed, I join with two other hotel guests (they are from Germany) and we are seated at an outdoor table for the monthly Poseidon Wine dinner with seven courses and seven separate wines pared to each course. The dinner was limited to 30 but there was no official starting time, so my table (of early arrivers) finished just before 9. I had no evening plans, checked my phone and found a message from Sophy. That was enough to put me on the baht bus. About a mile from Jomtien, four guys join the bus. Convivial, they were asking where the other passengers were from. There were only three of us, a couple from India, and me. When I said, USA, they introduced themselves with their name followed by "terrorist". They were from Iran and were in a good mood. I said that while i was from the USA, I live in California which is part of the USA that didn't vote for Mr. Trump, then they told me I could add terrorist to my name. They were pleased ot know I had been to Tehran and there were lots of sloppy hugs of international friendship. They got off for Walking Street, I went a little further and disembarked and walked a few paces into Toy Boy where Sophy was waiting. He was shirtless but had his pants on rather than briefs. David was on stage, as was Aun - who I was interested in on another night. Aun sat with us. He is Thai. Nothing clicked. If it had, I would have checked with Sophy about a 3 way. We had done one with another Cambodian from @Home in Jomtien last November. No need to check tonight. Sophy and I headed out to the Jomtien and the hotel. It was a good time with a few adaptions and we are past the stage of preliminaries. On the way out of Toy Boys, I gave a red note to David. Sophy left before dawn...actually several hours before dawn. Thursday, is my last full day in Pattaya and Thailand this trip. Mike's Pattaya taxi will pick me up early Friday morning to take me to BKK and then onwards via Thai and United air. Whoops!...can't go to the beach - it's raining. Went to Delicies for a pastry. Still raining. Decide to pack. Rain breaks about 1pm, so I head out to do a daytime visit to the Night Market and pick up two small souvenirs, then I walk to Central World and after a stop at Starbucks, walk around the mall and am bored. Used the restroom...Starbucks works quickly. Walked back along the beach in the direction of Boyztown/Walking Street. In Boyztown have a massage with no HE at Scandia. Actually a fine massage. My original but vaporized posting has the masseur's name. I did not keep my notes...so, sorry. I then caught the baht bus back to Jomtien as the rain returned. I packed, mostly eveything I brought is now laundry. While not Vinapu as his micro packing, I can easily get everything on the plane as carryon - I won't as I my luggage is comped by my airline status and leaves me plenty of room on the plane. I wasn't sure what to do on my last night, had a drink with the owner of Poseidon and talked about the ebb and flow of the tourists seasons. I texted Sophy and David...they came out and we had dinner at Sandbar restaurant on the beach. David has more English than Sophy but with my Khmer Google Translate we managed. We went back to the hotel...but that, folks, was it...no last night in town wild escapades, just a nice time with two very nice guys who had given me great pleasure. We parted ways with promises to keep in touch. (so far a daily Line GIF). I went to bed, got up and got on my way. And, that's my report. PS - I think I may have one more installment in me...more about things I learned or observed that didn't fit into the narrative.

I don't know for sure but I think the internet ads have a lot to do with fewer guys found in the saunas. For example, if you go to the below Brazilian site link , you will find hundreds of Brazilian gatotos offering their "garoto de programa services. It is an advertising site that separates the garotos by cities in Brazil. If you click on the city where Lagoa is located (Sao Paulo) you will find 248 guys advertising. Some handsome guys are asking a bit less than is asked in the sauna. Therefore, 248 guys advertising in Sao Paulo must have a negative effect on Lagoa and Fragata as far as available garotos is concerned. The site shows many face and body photos. I recognized many of the garotos from the saunas. Here is the link: http://www.boytoy.com.br Incidentally, Rio has a huge amount of garotos on that site. Just open the site and click on the city you desire.

Sea massage Supreme Massage Managed to go to the completely wrong massage shop. Meant to go to Sea Massage across 2nd road from Boyztown and instead went to Supreme Massage a couple of doors down through not paying attention. Realised as soon as I was inside as it was half the size of Sea Massage but then thought wtf and decided to give it a go. Paid 950b for a 1hr body scrub followed by a 1 hour aroma oil massage. Boy was on a rota basis but could probably have picked if I’d wanted. As it was, he was cute and smiled so who was I to argue. Even though he was doing a body scrub, the boy had long baggy shorts and t-shirt on. Must be absolutely hell on laundry. The body scrub was just that though he was very diligent with it. He certainly didn’t miss any areas but I really got no hint as to how the oil massage would go after. After the body scrub, I showered alone which was a bit off seeing how hard it is to wash the scrub off some areas. When the oil massage started, he once again was clothed and I really wasn’t sure if there would be any extras or not. Anyhow, I set my arms/hands just a little wide on the table so they were partially hanging off. The massage was pretty good, medium strength which I like as it doesn’t aggravate my back and once again very thorough. About 20 minutes in, the position of my arms paid off as he was spending just too long with his groin presses against my hand. Soon we both had raging hardons though he was still dressed. As I played more and more with him a nice wet spot appeared on his shorts. He finally pulled his shorts down and he was leaking copious amounts of pre-cum. The massage cubicles were those where the wall didn’t go to the ceiling. There were no other customers but he seemed terrified of making any noise. At one point the BJ caused a slurp and he froze. Anyhow, mutual BJs as quietly as possible made a great ending. Fah massage For anyone that used to frequent Fah Massage, in Jomtien Complex, it has closed. There is a “For Rent” sign right in front. Can’t have happened long ago as the outside massage sign is still there.

The irony is that restricting American citizen’s travel rights is a very communist thing to do. This will be devastating to average Cubans just trying to get by. New Cuba Travel Restrictions

Greenwald is an amateur cradle-robber. I go for guys younger than me by 2.5 times their age difference.
