Finally, some downtime to write. Here are other parts of my trip. This post is about my night 2 weeks ago: Another Few Days in Rio, Part 1 - The Sauna Duds After my two weeks all holed up (and remotely working) the BF at his apartment in cold and wet winter in Santa Catarina, we were all set up to take a week off in Recife, a northeastern city. But first, I carved out a two night stay in Rio to play around a bit, before reuniting with the BF to jet up to Recife. As Brazil (and most of the world) reopens, with precaution for COVID, there is word that the two other saunas in Rio are reopening as well, to give Point 202 a run for its money. With the tourist numbers still depressed, it will be interesting to see how these three vie for the local market. What I’ve seen in Point 202 has been tepid at best, a few stunners, but overall a bit mediocre, not to mention, the crumbling infrastructure and shoddy cleaning procedures is not impressive. So there is word that Lions was opening the Friday I’m gonna be in Rio, and Club 117 is opening the next Monday, unfortunately I’d be in Recife already. I guess I’d just have to check it out next Rio visit. I made two overnight dates for the two nights I was going to be alone in Rio, with two boy pairs, for the one pair was a pair two tops, and the other, a pair of two vers-bottoms. I know that does not make any sense, pairing a key with another key, and having the two slots together, but this perceived incompatibility is actually an interesting experiment I’m willing to take. More on this next post. I get to Rio at night, at meet up with the two tops at the AirBNB. The next day I met the two bottoms at 202, because I wanted to get a boy in the sauna before retiring to the apartment with my two dates. I run a volume business, apparently. Insatiable sex drive + increasing dollar value = never ending possibilities. Anyway, as I was prepping to go to the sauna, Bottom 1 texts me: He then called me to tell me that Point 202 is actually pretty empty, and he said it was better to go to Lions tonight, as it is its first night to reopen. I told him to stay put, because I wanted to at least get one boy in 202, but agreed that we should go to Lion's afterwards. So I haul my ass out of my post-coital bliss with the two tops I just played with, showered and got dressed, and headed to Point 202. Getting to Point, I was expecting a Friday crowd, which in the pandemic meant at least a decent crowd but not standing room only. I was wrong. The sauna was dissapointingly empty, with a few boys, and with really just one boy hot that I would be just OK with fucking. Bottom 1 finds me and gives me a big hug, and then a big wet kiss. I told him he was right, that the sauna was empty, even if it was a Friday night: The sauna was veeerrrryyyy slow. Slow enough that when I was looking around, I noticed something for the very first time, and I would not have not noticed if the sauna was busy and my attention would be elsewhere: a big mural of the sauna owner on display. I would not have noticed this in a million years. Has this always been there? : Bottom 2 joined us and invited us to go to the upstairs bar to smoke. Again, super-duper empty: After 30 minutes of searching, in vain, for my Point prince charming, I said fuck it and told the two boys that we should check out Lions. It was Lions first night back, and they said it will be super busy with festivities tonight. So we all check out of the empty Point, and we get the Uber to Lions. 20 minutes later, we were there. The alleyway where Lions had some mask-less agglomeration already, so I knew the club at least had some action tonight. And indeed, they are open! Finally, another sauna open to compete for Rio’s business: And compared to Point 202, they seem to have their COVID health theater down. Samples: At the door, signage telling people that masks are required, reduced capacity crowds indoors, promoting social distancing, and sanitization of the facilities: At check-in, hand sanitizer with foot pedal for application to hands (with Lion’s branding!): The tables had this signage, saying the tables and chairs were cleaned, which is reassuring, even if it was more or less accurate: Everything was decked out for the reopening, and the festive music and atmosphere was fairly exciting: Looking at the fairly healthy sized crowds of both customers and boys, I was quite surprised. I know that masks are mandatory, but most if not all customers and boys had no masks on. The employees, and the owner, had masks on, though. There was a good crowd inside, almost to a point that I felt transported to another time, pre-COVID. Lots of agglomeration, lots of contact, and lots of drinking, dancing, and merry-making. At this point in my trip, I was less queasy about the whole COVID precautions thing, having been lulled into a false sense of security by surviving a month in Brazil without any health scares, but still, this was new. I just rolled with it and drank and laughed and flirted with the rest of the folk. Life is short, have fun when you can. Yeah you might get sick and die tomorrow, but you only have right now that you can control. There was a show with some drag queens and a stripper that was heavily decked out in indio gear. Not my cup of tea, but I rolled with it: As for hunting boys, the place was a dud, for me. There was one or two that caught my attention, but with the atmosphere more geared towards being a bar to hang out in, rather than a sauna that you got boys from, I was just not feeling the motivation to pick a boy to fuck in the sauna. After a few drinks and merriment, and with the two bottom boys in hand, I felt that I had enough, without fucking a boy, and just told the boys that we should just go home and continue our festivities there, hopefully with all of us naked. Two saunas, one super slow, one busy and lively, but both not quite good enough for me to get a boy to fuck. Oh well, can't win them all. Next post, a date with two tops, and then a date with two bottoms.

My opinion only: He wants you come to the bar, pay for all the drinks, treat all his friends, win him lots of respect, show the bar staff he has a wealthy patron, and then send him home with money without having to spend any baht himself to celebrate his own birthday. He will likely go to see his family in the day time, or several days later if they live far away. Thai boys like to spend their birthdays drunk with friends not in the countryside with their family!

The birthday part of this topic reminded me of a massage boy at Scandic massage in Boyztown Pattaya. To prove it was his birthday, he showed me his ID card. It was his birthday but when I saw his birth year, he was 8 years older than he told me.

I won't comment on the Ministry of Education's policies. What I will say as someone who taught in Thailand 20 years ago is that the salaries for foreign teachers in publicly funded schools in Thailand -- which is a category that takes in all public primary and secondary schools, as well as many colleges and universities -- were fixed at 25K baht per year (17K salary + 8K housing allowance) back in the 1990s. They have not changed since, as far as I know, or at least they hadn't the last time I checked, which was in 2015. Twenty-five thousand a month was a decent salary in the 90s, but I wouldn't care to try living on it in 2020. There are sometimes opportunities to earn more, either through overtime or by taking on extra classes in after-school programs. That said, private schools, colleges, and universities may offer higher pay, as will commercial language schools, especially ones that specialize in corporate language training. The most lucrative teaching positions by far are those in the international primary and secondary schools (i.e. schools run on foreign curricula where at least 70% of the pupils are foreign passport holders). For those jobs, however, you *usually* need to be licensed to teach in public schools in your home country. In other words, you need to be a properly qualified career teacher. If that's you, hooray. You could be making a salary similar to what you would make back home, plus benefits like free flights for home leave, multiple weeks of paid vacation, a generous housing allowance, top-of-the-line health insurance, etc., etc. In nearly all cases, you would be recruited from abroad, often at international school job fairs. There is one loophole for those not properly qualified: international schools that have to fill unexpected vacancies on short notice are permitted to hire under-qualified foreign teachers on local contract, on the spot. You won't get the benefits, but you will get a salary comparable to what your more qualified colleagues get. The tricky bit is to be in the right place at the right time...

I might add to this guess that the boy probably want you to be included in his special day, apart from the money, as he wants to show respect to you too. U only invite close friends/family to such event. It probably to announce to all the boys in the bar that you are now his? Haha. Eitherway, dont overthink it. Its his special day, and i think since he obviously make u happy, just go with what he wanted as long as its reasonable.

+1 gay or straight, there are good and bad sex from both camps lol Im surprised you still keep trying after countless non performers! I dont have similar persistence hehe.

That sounds like last night!

I went back to the gay area tonight. It was rainy and everything was quiet. HotMale had very few guys on stage. Dreamboys had even less. Freshboys had more but not the typical slew. I went back to take the guy from Sept. 12. I really like him and have chatted daily since meeting. I popped in to get him. I wanted to take someone from his bar with us but the boy I took from last month didn't want to go with him. He is now a bit jealous and upset I am taking his friend. We left: Drink 300 for me Drink 300 for boy Off Fee 500 so total for Freshboys was 1200 baht. I was walking by Screwboy when a guy called my name. I didn't remember him but he remembered me. He started telling me the names of all my exes from Pattaya. He had photos as well. I was intrigued so I went inside and had drinks with him and the boy from Fresh. It was fun and they had beers. The mamasans swarmed around us. There were two new boys from Bangkok in clothes. I had them both for drinks and they were hot! But, "Man. Man." and no sucking or anything so I left them alone but have an eye on one of them. 6 drinks at 300 baht each was 1800 baht 200 baht for each boy was 800 baht 100 baht for tips for my boys friends there 400 baht 400 baht from guy who remembered me from Pattaya and a nice conversation 3400 baht total for Screwboys Total for night: 4600 baht Boy who came home for short time was a good tip which I won't get into great details. But, a good night with no customers anywhere and few boys and still I had a hot big dick guy next to me for hours and told me he now wants to stay with me all next weekend. Good night with hot boys all around and the hottest one with me for a great time!

that's how:

She will be missed. I am sure the Republicans will the respectable thing and wait until the election is over like they did for Obama's last appointee. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/18/politics/ruth-bader-ginsburg-dead/index.html

Happy Birthday, Steven Sad day for Americans. But, the crowds are even larger today outside the Supreme Court in honor of Justice Ruth Ginsberg!

I might be biased to my own experience, but local teachers have insight to teaching locals better than any native speakers, simply because they know and speak both languages and can explain better to the locals. I assume any native english teachers wanted to work in thailand would have to learn the thai language too for them to be great at teaching the locals, but is it a requirement?

Switching back to the original post peculating on a "why" about the birthday celebration - I agree with hank75 and with spoon's further insight. I celebrated one regular's birthday and it was important to his sense of face that I came to the bar for him and celebrated him with his friends also participating! My insight (not related to this question) is validate the birthdate...I remember one off who seemed to have more than one birthday a year as shown on his Facebook page.

..."an Asian guy in Europe who is 40 but still looks 20" ... i felt this when I was in Melbourne a few years ago on a wine tour and a group of British girls thought I was in my mid to late 20s. I'm 42 this year. attached photos are from this week.

thank you for a new leads I don't like Krist, neither character of Arthit but New= Kao, quite yes ! I'm not adversely affected, thanks God , by Covid other than being unable and to some destinations, unwilling to travel but watching those soothes my Thai longing soul. Still 2gether was short one , just 5 episodes, less dramatic by more sweet / finishes with long kiss /. Love by Chance 2 four episodes were already aired, my advice - wait until completed to watch in one go

From Bangkok Post Pro-democracy crowd settles in for overnight stay Thousands of protesters have gathered at Sanam Luang in Bangkok for what they say will be a two-day protest to press for a new constitution and an end to military-dominated government. The mostly young demonstrators, who began the day by assembling under a steady rain at the Tha Prachan campus of Thammasat University nearby, have also vowed to press for reform of the monarchy, an issue that has provoked strong reactions from more conservative segments of society. However, an increasing number of seasoned protest veterans from the red-shirt United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD), after keeping a low profile for the past few years, have decided it’s time to throw their support behind the movement. This story will be updated regularly and readers can also follow live feeds on Facebook and Twitter.

Because none of the boys at Jupiter are gay I guess.

lucky you, one is much more then none

OK. I have a boy I have been seeing from a bar. His Birthday is coming up. He wants me to come to his bar and get him to spend the night with me. I told him I would. But, I also told him I could just give him money and he could spend the money on having a good time with his friends. He does not want me to send him money but prefers that I come to get him and celebrate there and take him home. Now, I realize that money is part of this. But, would it not make sense if he does nothing for the money and I told him the same amount for him to just take a day off and spend with family and friends. He didn't want to do that. Why? I get he may be trying to make me happy. Or, does it look better for him to have someone go and get him? But, I don't get why he would prefer to spend the night with an old man as opposed to just going with his friends for the same amount of money. Any ideas? What am I missing?

She will be missed. I am sure the Republicans will the respectable thing and wait until the election is over like they did for Obama's last appointee. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/18/politics/ruth-bader-ginsburg-dead/index.html

I was so lucky to addend college close to Boston when Joan Baez and Bob Dylan were relatively new on the scene. I saw Joan Baez perform in Boston's Symphony Hall in Early 1963. She told the audience "no bathroom" breaks (no exceptions).

Sure, the Republicans are going to do the right thing. Hold your breath. Even though all this is on the record: “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.” — Sen. Mitch McConnell, 02/13/2016 “This nomination will be determined by whoever wins the presidency in the polls.” — Sen. Mitch McConnell, 02/23/2016. “This is the last year of a lame-duck, and if Ted Cruz or Donald Trump get to be president, they’ve all asked us not to confirm or take up a selection by president Obama. So if a vacancy occurs in their last year, of their first term, guess what, you will use their words against them. You will use their words against them. I want you to use my words against me. If there is a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said ‘let’s let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination,’ and you could use my words against me and you'd be absolutely right.” — Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R-SC) 03/10/2016 “I'll tell you this, if an opening comes in President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we will wait until the next election.” — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), 10/03/2018 . “A lifetime appointment that could dramatically impact individual freedoms and change the direction of the court for at least a generation is too important to get bogged down in politics. The American people shouldn’t be denied a voice.” —Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) 03/16/2016 “We have a unique opportunity for the American people to have a voice in the direction of the Supreme Court. Our side believes very strongly that the people deserve to be heard, and they should be allowed to decide, through their vote for the next president, the type of person who should be on the Supreme Court.” — Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), 04/07/2016 “The president [Obama] exercised his unquestioned authority under the constitution, to nominate someone to this vacancy. But that same constitution reserves to the United States senate, and the United States senate alone, the right to either grant or withhold consent to that nominee.” — Sen. John Cornyn, (R-Texas). 03/16/2016 “Justice Scalia was an American hero. We owe it to him, & the Nation, for the Senate to ensure that the next President names his replacement.” — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) 02/13/2016. “It has been 80 years since the Senate has confirmed any judicial vacancy for the Supreme Court that occurred during a presidential election and the Republican majority in the Senate last year announced before Merrick Garland was nominated, before anyone was nominated, that we were going to keep this seat open and let the American people decide.” — Sen. Ted Cruz, (R-Texas) 01/31/2016 “I think we’re too close to the election. The president who is elected in November should be the one who makes this decision.” —Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Col.) 02/13/2016 ”I don’t think we should be moving on a nominee in the last year of this president’s term — I would say that if it was a Republican president .” —Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) 02/01/2016 “It makes the current presidential election all that more important as not only are the next four years in play, but an entire generation of Americans will be impacted by the balance of the court and its rulings. Sens. Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid have all made statements that the Senate does not have to confirm presidential nominations in an election year. I will oppose this nomination as I firmly believe we must let the people decide the Supreme Court’s future.” —Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) 03/16/2016 “We will see what the people say this fall and our next president, regardless of party, will be making that nomination.” —Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) 02/25/2016 “Vice President Biden’s remarks may have been voiced in 1992, but they are entirely applicable to 2016. The campaign is already under way. It is essential to the institution of the Senate and to the very health of our republic to not launch our nation into a partisan, divisive confirmation battle during the very same time the American people are casting their ballots to elect our next president.” —Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), 02/26/16 “The very balance of our nation’s highest court is in serious jeopardy. As a member of theSenate Judiciary Committee, I will do everything in my power to encourage the president and Senate leadership not to start this process until we hear from the American people.” —Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) 02/18/2016 “The next President must nominate successor that upholds constitution, founding principles.” —Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) 02/13/2016 “I strongly agree that the American people should decide the future direction of the Supreme Court by their votes for president and the majority party in the U.S. Senate.” —Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) 02/14/2016 “The next Court appointment should be made by the newly-elected president.” —Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.), 02/15/2016 “In this election year, the American people will have an opportunity to have their say in the future direction of our country. For this reason, I believe the vacancy left open by Justice Antonin Scalia should not be filled until there is a new president.” —Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) 02/13/2016 “The Senate should not confirm a new Supreme Court justice until we have a new president.” Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) 02/13/2016 “There is 80 years of precedent for not nominating and confirming a new justice of the Supreme Court in the final year of a president’s term so that people can have a say in this very important decision.” —Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) 02/17/2016 “I believe the best thing for the country is to trust the American people to weigh in on who should make a lifetime appointment that could reshape the Supreme Court for generations. This wouldn’t be unusual. It is common practice for the Senate to stop acting on lifetime appointments during the last year of a presidential term, and it’s been nearly 80 years since any president was permitted to immediately fill a vacancy that arose in a presidential election year.” —Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) 02/15/2016 And just one more time, Lindsey: “And you could use my words against me and you'd be absolutely right.”

From Channel News Asia / Reuters The Thai protest leader who emerged with a kiss Tattep Ruangprakitseree (left) and his partner Panumas Singprom, also a member of the committee of Free People group, sit in a flat in Nonthaburi province, in Thailand, Aug 22, 2020. (Photo: REUTERS/Jiraporn Kuhakan) BANGKOK: It was with a kiss that student activist Tattep Ruangprapaikitseree first took centre stage in Thai politics. His embrace with his boyfriend at parliament as they campaigned for gay marriage rights last December shocked conservatives and stirred a social media storm. Nine months on, the changes he now demands for Thailand are even more fundamental for the protest movement challenging an establishment long dominated by the army and the palace. "I'm confused as to how I got here," Tattep, 23, told Reuters. Since mid-July, protesters have been calling for the departure of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, a former coup leader. They want a new Constitution, fresh elections and an end to the harassment of activists. Although there is no overall leader of the fragmented movement – and activists say they want to keep it that way – a Jul 18 protest by Tattep's Free Youth Movement unexpectedly drew some 2,500 people and helped to build momentum for almost daily demonstrations since. "At that time, there was no one leading the protest, so I decided to do it," said Tattep, also known by the nickname Ford. Tattep grew up in the heart of Bangkok. His father works as a delivery driver for a mobile phone app. When Tattep's mother died six years ago, they moved into one room in a shared house while he completed his studies. "I support him because the movement is for the country: It's not only about him," said his father, Somrak Ruangprapaikitseree. But his father worries the protests could turn violent, recalling the decade of bloody street turmoil before Prayut's 2014 coup. Tattep said his political awareness began during those protests, when pro-establishment yellow shirts shut down Bangkok in clashes with red shirt supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. While Tattep had initially hoped to be a pharmacist, he switched to political science and graduated from Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University this year. He and boyfriend Panumas Singprom met on Tinder and realised they had been going to the same political meetings. "We don't want to grow old and have our kids ask us, 'When the country faced injustice what did you do?'" said Panumas, who is often by his side. Last year's election fuelled calls for change after Prayut returned as prime minister in a vote his opponents said was unfair. Prayut says the vote was fair. As well as campaigning for LGBT rights, they set up a discussion forum on Facebook that became the Free Youth Movement – and later the Free People Movement to broaden its appeal. "Let it end in our generation," shouted Tattep as he took the stage on Aug 16 at a Bangkok demonstration of more than 10,000 people, the biggest yet.

It was sudden. RBG just conducted (!) a wedding in a park close to my house 3 days ago. Surprisingly Trump keeps an official "SC candidate" bio list: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/additions-president-donald-j-trumps-supreme-court-list/ If T-rump wins and he's smart (lol) he should put Ted Cruz on the Court. Within a week he'd have 8 more vacancies to fill. AAMOF if he nominated Ted Cruz 70% of Senators would probably vote to confirm him in 15 minutes before Trump could change his mind. Just to be rid of Cruz. Sen.Tom Cotton would probably be the easiest to confirm as there is still a Senatorial comity among members. Politically Carlos Muniz now on the Florida Supreme Court or Barbra Lagoa (also FL Latino) or Bridget Bade (AZ) would work well for election votes in swing states. I don't think it would be easy for Trump to get a confirmation before the election, but whether he wins or loses, lame ducks in the Senate after Nov 3 (like hopefully Susan Collins) will vote however their future income prospects warrant. This changes the election a lot as it puts the abortion issue on center stage and that's a huge issue in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

I'm assuming, Michael, that your tongue was lodged in your cheek when you made your assumption about the patience of the Republicans. T-Rump is already demanding speedy approval of his nominee to be named. RBG's body isn't even cold yet!

Michael may it be a marvelous time, the only downside is your loyal Forum readers may not get updates on the Bangkok bars...

Trouble with the UK is the government keeps changing its policies (mind). Speculation in the UK press this morning is that a 2nd national lockdown is inevitable. Mayor of London thinks London is two weeks away from a lockdown.

yup. I this context I found this analysis interesting, with a good historical perspective on military power and coup politics: https://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/1987267/thailands-changed-coup-considerations

Even in the rain...powerful image

This thread makes me remember many funny times. I had regular from Soi Twilight when I was living in Bangkok. He was someone who I saw many times and we went on trips together and sometimes went home with 2 or 3 of his friends. I never asked his age because the Bar I was taking him from and my own eyes guessed 21-23. Then 1, 3 day trip to Chiang Mai he left my computer on and he was chatting with friends and he forgot sign off. It was Thai site but some was easiy to translate. He had all his information and under age he was 34. To this day it is hard to believe . We laughed about it and I told him , that it made no difference to me and it did not. I wish I had stayed in touch . He would be 44 now and I'd love to see a current photo. Memories!

peaceful protests tend to be more effective as stone throwing provokes violent reaction and tend to enrage " law and order" segment of population. We can only wish them luck even if democracy has own disadvantages.

Maybe it's just me but I think we subconciously behave different depending on the age of those we talk to. If someone is say 40 we tend take him more serious and make less (childish) jokes. If someone is 20 and think "what can he know about this topic at his young age" (sex excluded) and we talk a lot more nonsense and make more jokes. How must feel an Asian guy in Europe who is 40 but still looks 20 ...

perhaps he was poor in math

It's s joke ... A country which used to accommodate tens of millions tourists every year couple of thousands won't make any improvement at the dying tourist industry at the moment.

The first boy in Thailand I ever took for an overnight trip to Pattaya was from Future Boys in Bangkok. He spent 2 weeks with me on my very first trip to LOS. He was adorable and from Laos. He said he was 19 on day 1. A few days later he said he was 22. I told him I didn't care. But, I thought about it and wondered why he lied. We were at the Marriott in Pattaya and he was registered. So, I asked them to pull up his ID and tell me his age. They did. He was 29. I told him I knew and he said sorry. It was OK for me and he continued to travel with me from time to time. 10 years later, I met him in a bar in Bangkok and I said, 'How old are you?" and he said, "19." Since he still looked it we both smiled and laughed. He was just as good at 39 as he was at 29. (except he had nipples and more tits. Yep, he was a ladyboy and I didn't even know that) You learn a lot the more you spend time in the LOS!

I goal posts are changing by the day. From Bangkok Post Tourists must isolate in home countries The Ministry of Public Health on Friday unveiled its latest plan to reopen to visitors from abroad with 2,270 foreign tourists already reportedly planning to visit Thailand. Dr Chakrarat Pittayawonganon, director of the Bureau of Mental Health Strategy under the Department of Disease Control, (DDC) said in a press briefing yesterday that foreign tourists must present proof of a negative Covid-19 test no more than 72 hours prior to travel. They must also have quarantined in their country of origin and have health insurance for international travel and a specified minimum amount of money in their bank account as well as a record of not visiting crowded places prior to their departure. During their domestic quarantine, visitors must have been tested twice for Covid-19 at the beginning and end of the process. If both tests are negative for the virus, they will be allowed to travel to Thailand. The DDC said it planned to increase staff at international disease control checkpoints and allow people from low-risk countries to enter Thailand first. The department will provide training on Covid-19 control and prevention for entrepreneurs as well as the general public and government officers whose jobs place them in contact with foreign travellers. Related state bodies are currently deciding when these measures will take effect. Director-General of the Health Service Support Department, Dr Thares Krasnairawiwong, said 735 medical tourists from China, Myanmar, Oman, Australia and Cambodia were receiving treatment in Thailand after they completed a 14-day quarantine. The tourists were expected to generate around 25 million baht for the country, said the doctor. More than 2,270 foreigners from China, Myanmar, Japan and Kuwait have reportedly expressed their wish to enter Thailand, and are expected to generate 115 million baht in revenue. O

14? more are coming to the party, stay tuned.

" I'm Tee, Me too " series started with first episode just aired. Looks it will be fun, staring three familiar couples : Off and Gun ( Theory of Love ), Pete and Kao (Dark Blue Kiss ) and Kongpob and Arthit (Sotus). Here all of them are named Tee and are not couples (yet ?)

Then he’s probably also thinking: why mess with a winning formula! LOL

I was so lucky to attend a Supreme Court session of lawyers arguing a case. Justice Ginsburg, Justice Scalia, Justice Thomas stood out. Thomas because he talked so much with the other Justices. Joked laughed and had a grand time without slighting the cases

Datum on a single date, data for two or more, by the fourth date single unless the third is a marriage date, so say the data, says the datum.

Can't we just go on a date instead? And now i'm more confused. If it goes well, is it a second date? Or a data?

I'm also in the camp of 3000 / day. This is what I paid on few of such occasions. I always asked him what his expectations are. Whey they expected less, I made it to 3000/day by way of parting bonus. If they wanted more I counter offered to 3000 and it was accepted. But honestly 20000 i.e 2000 / day would be reasonable as I doubt now even most popular guys get offed that often and 20000 is still sizable amount of money. Of course off fee for bar is on top of it. If you want economize, try to negotiate discount with bar, they may go for it those days. Or even better leave it to the boy - give him money and tell him if he manages to get discount , leftover is his. I'd not mention any parting bonus as it may create unwarranted expectations. Is better to surprise him at the end. 10 days is a long time, make sure you give him few hours daily to do whatever he wants and tell him in advance you will need the same. To boost his face arrange for him to pay bills when you are dining or taking trip somewhere together. This makes an impression in eyes of bystanders both of you are on even footage. Also , even if money is yours you may notice they will tend to order less costly menu items. It doesn't look good if you spend on the dinner the same amount you pay him as daily rate. You know all of that but other readers may find it useful
