Louisville Slugger reports that it hasn't exported any bats to Thailand.

My home work-outs.... not perfect, but I love to share VID-20200317-WA0000.mp4 VID-20200403-WA0002.mp4 VID-20200403-WA0003.mp4

Anyone hungry? Sitting home all of the time, I find I eat too much! But maybe just one of these...

uhm, if it's not listed, then why not click any other? There may be some that maybe even somewhat similar, like massage or whatever else.... if that help is for informal workers, then there is no or not much proof anyway these people can produce, so just make something up. That would just be my guess for a possible solution, not knowing the details of the program and the application process, obviously.

Presumably some dodgy American bat exporter? LOL

From Khaosod English Sex Workers Suffer Under Virus Shutdown BANGKOK — Anna, a 33-year-old sex worker, said she had no income for the past two weeks since Pattaya’s Walking Street was told to shut down per a government’s order to contain the coronavirus outbreak. She has about 11,000 baht left. Of those savings, 7,000 baht will have to go to rent, electricity, and water bills. “For short time [sex service] I used to charge 2,000. That’s for one to two hours. If it’s longer than five hours, I charge 5,000,” Anna, who identified herself as a transgender, said by phone Friday. “Now there’s no short time, long time, or social media appointment at all.” Anna is one of an estimated of 100,000 sex workers who are expected to be among the hardest hit under the business closure brought about by the coronavirus pandemic. They can’t apply for government compensation for “informal” workers either, since their work is not considered legitimate under the law, despite their ubiquitous presence around the country. Surang Janyam, director of an NGO that assists sex workers in Bangkok and Pattaya, warned that the lockdown could prove to be a disaster for tens of thousands of people working in the sex tourism industry. “My tears dropped on March 17. It’s not just about the dangerous pandemic but we could not prepare our hearts for what’s coming. I don’t know how they will make a living from now … and they have no welfare” Surang from Service Workers in Group Foundation said.“I cried the day the lights at Patpong turned dark.” In Pattaya, where an estimate 50,000 sex workers are now out of work due to the government measures to shutdown nightlife district, many have since returned to their home provinces, said Anna, who hailed from Loei province. The sex worker said she doesn’t want to return to her home province due to the stigma attached to not just sex workers, but the perception among the rural locals that anyone returning from the cities must be infected by coronavirus. Even in Pattaya itself, sex workers are facing additional stigma because they are thought to be possible spreader of coronavirus. “Hair stylists, cloth vendors, and even food sellers, do not want to be near me,” Anna said. Anna tried, but failed, to seek 5,000 baht monthly assistance promised by the government, since sex work is not listed as one of the professions in the online application form. Although prostitution can be found across Thailand, the profession remains illegal under Thai laws. “Pattaya used to never sleep. Now it’s asleep,” she said. Bangkok’s Soi Cowboy, a major red light district in Bangkok with 1,000 plus sex workers, also went silent after the are was shut down on March 17. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/crimecourtscalamity/2020/04/04/no-job-no-compensation-sex-workers-suffer-under-virus-shutdown/

You are asking questions of a guy who has not posted here for 14 months!

Second or third visit around 1996 I met the cutest Thai guy in Heaven sauna. I took him out for dinner after our encounter and discovered he was a student about to enter his final year at university. Lovely body, fascinating smile, very friendly, very good English, well endowed as befitted an Isaan boy and a great technique in bed! We continued to meet for my next three visits. Once I took him to Koh Samui for 4 days where we stayed in a hotel with a jacuzzi in the bathroom. What went on in that jacuzzi matched what went on in bed but seemed more exciting. Then he found a Thai boyfriend and our adventures ended. But we remained friends and I met up with him regularly for lunches or dinners until three years ago when he returned to open a business in his home town. I always found Babylon in its first more intimate incarnation in the 90s more exciting than the bigger premises it moved into down the soi. Many more cute young Thais than now, many eager to find older farangs. Never encountered any rent boys. Always queues to get in at the weekend. Once I was just standing around in the semi darkness when I heard a voice with an Australian accent behind me ask if Id like to go with him to a room. I turned around to explain I was only interested in Thais when I realised he was Thai. Turned out hed been to university in Sydney. Hence the Oz accent. He knew exactly what he wanted, had no inhibitions, was passionate and we had an amazing evening followed by dinner. I was staying at the Hyatt then and managed to get him past security for the next two nights. Great days and nights!

A lot of my most memorable experiences were during my first couple of trips to Pattaya in 2002 and 2033 in company with a gay friend, when the pound bought 70 baht. Multiple boys in bed were often the order of the day.. Great to recall those days whilst I’m now locked down back home in England. One day after a sex filled night we took our cute “boyfriends du jour” to the gay beach during a beautiful sunny afternoon whilst the sea was flat calm. We had bought them brief speedos so after beers we took them in the sea for a while, kissing and playing in the warm water. Back to the chairs with more beers my friend made the remark “life’s not so bad after all”. After eighteen years we still mention that day.

I went to Bangkok for the second time ever in Summer 2019, and visited Babylon on a Sunday afternoon. The place was packed and I was making out with various boys all over the facility. I ended up in that very dark, very erotic steam room, with bodies on top of each other. I suddenly came face to face with a very cute Thai guy, and it was like a Hallmark movie meet-cute -- but instead of accidentally spilling coffee on me, he instantly dropped to his knees and took my cock in his mouth. It was so hot - other guys were sucking on my chest and kissing me. We eventually went to a cabin for some really fun private time, and then emerged for some time in the dark jacuzzi. To me, that is the most erotic place I have ever been in my life -- right out of a 1970's porn. Nothing too hardcore. Mostly just guys kissing and sucking and stroking each other underwater, all is dark silence. My new friend and I made out while guys sucked us off. Eventually, we made it to the locker-room and I asked if he wanted to have dinner. We got dressed and jumped on moto-taxis to Silom. (Again, it felt like an upside-down romance movie, hooking up first at a gay bathhouse and then a romantic bike ride into the night, for a sweet dinner -- like a date in reverse.) We ate on Silom Road and I learned he was a marine engineer, traveling the world fixing massive ships, but was currently living with his family on a small Thai island. He was in Bangkok for a conference.) We went back to my hotel after and had a wonderful time together, and he slept over. We definitely both fell in love that night. I left for Koh Samui the next morning and we kept in touch by Line. We met up again in Bangkok two weeks later and had a WILD NIGHT at the foam party at Babylon. It exceeded my wildest expectations. Definitely the most erotic, crazy night of my life. (I wonder if Thais realize that these experiences are not available in most parts of the world.) My marine engineer and I still keep in touch via Line and hope to reunite sometime this year.

Hey badboy! It’s all good, it was just the way he expressed himself that made it clear to me on another level is all. I guess we all get things differently in our own way, and I am thankful to those who have responded. I was just asking a question out of interest, and it’s difficult in a forum of short burst commentary to explain the totality of ones interests, experience, thought process or personality, and easy to see only a one-dimensional perspective of someone and presume you know the rest. Like many, I’ve had lots of tough lessons and hard knocks - it’s just life and life has a way of making us humble, and it makes you wiser and more aware, but I also choose to live with a tender heart and an open mind while being discerning and street wise. Anyways, thanks for your input.

Is it possible? Yes anything is possible! Is it probable? NO! It not going to happen if you are going to Brazil for a week or two once a year! If you are not going back at a minimum every 3 months or so for a couple weeks or living there, then you are just another lonely guy looking for love in the wrong place! i understand as guys hit their 40’s and 50’s feeling the need to be loved and/or someone special in his life! but the chances of that happening where one person is 25 yrs + older and is the one with the income/career and the other is attractive in his 20’s sauna guy...everyone understands the “dance” especially the sauna guys! this was told to me by a Brazilian Sauna owner on my 2nd trip to Rio in early 2002 “remember, once a sauna boy always a sauna boy! It makes no difference if they worked there a month or a year you will always represent a $$ figure to them! I have found out he was so right! Guy in professional and semi-professional positions ate looking for a way out of Brazil and a American or European or Australian is their idea of fast tracking their situation! I know 3 Americans over the years who thought their situation with their guy was different! They were all wrong! The same thing is going on right now with Venezuelan guys and wealthier Mexicans! Again I know of severaljust in the city of Mérida where I have a home! Go to Brazil enjoy the sex fall in lust but not in love! Btw the above happened to me as well, I had to learn the hard way! Brazil is a great little place and I have a lot of friends there and you’ve may find love there it just won’t be in the sauna! Good luck!

Thanks for sharing the info.
