I haven't been to any of the Bangkok go-go bars in years, but my understanding, based on what friends tell me, as long as they don't expect a police raid (they often get tipped off) and don't suspect any plain clothes police are in the audience, pretty much anything goes. It would be great if things eventually return to the way they were many years ago. Some of you who have been around long enough may remember the Utopia Guest House in Bangkok and the owner, John Goss. During my very first trip to Thailand I stayed at the Utopia and John personally took me around to show me the ropes and took me to a couple of the go-go bars. There is nothing like the first time. I can't remember the name of the bar, but I will never forget my first experience. There were at least 30 go-go boys and both on and off stage they were completely naked. And I mean completely. I was absolutely overwhelmed. I did not expect anything like that and had never seen anything like that. And in those days, the go-go bars had short time rooms. Do I need to tell you where I was every night while I was in Bangkok? Bring back the way it was in those days! Please!

In 2008 or 2010, I cannot remember the exact year, I took a Grand Circle Travel Tour to Egypt for almost two weeks. Five days were spent traveling along the Nile on a river boat cruise/trip. Afterwards, we returned to Cairo, and while there, one day a group of us made our way to a special shopping area or medina. While there I ventured into a shop looking for a special good (...can't remember specifically now). A cute and young guy assisted me. I purchased what I wanted; he in turn gave me a nicely shaped greenish stone and stated that it was a gift to me. I didn't quite know what to make of this, for I was extremely horny and wanted to have some nice, fairly good sized Egyptian cock. Well, in my state of confusion as well as making certain that I caught the tour bus on time-- I did not try to analyze the situation with this guy although I was so ready and eager to suck and be fucked. Although this occurred a while ago-- the experience still resonates with me. Don't have plans to return to this country any time soon. Brasil and Argentina or perhaps Thailand beckon me in 2022/2023, as Covid has wrecked havoc on life worldwide.

GP = Garoto de Programa

See is it only me who thinks that of ALL the people we DO let into the UK - that bar boys and sex workers should be the ones we are actively ENCOURAGING to come stay only yearly visas ! There should be extra points given to them on their visa applications just as we do with brain surgeons and engineers and the like, with bar boys being classed as "essential workers" ( as they are for some of us at least ! :-)

Hi Spoon, i paid him 1,500 egyptian ponds, so maybe about 80 - 100 euro. He was well worth the charge, fantastic body, great few hours of fun!

I live in Washington, DC and have been to Buenos Aires 5x. I felt safer in Buenos Aires. Also, felt safer in Rio (ZonaSul).

It is true that some of the best action I had in Egypt, was not in Cairo, but in other places. Aswan being a really fun place, much more laid back than Cairo, but with plenty of cute young men! I had an experience when I decided to take a boat ride to the Temple of Philae, sitting overlooking the Nile watching the many touts plying their business for the boat owners, I walked down and along beside the boats, I saw these 2 young guys, in t-shirts and shorts, really cute, the first one walks over to me "boat ride, cheap price", I look him up and down and then look over at his friend, "do you both come on the boat ride as well?" I ask, but it was a negative from both of them, but they still wanted to give their usual sales line of how cheap the boat ride was. I smiled and said I was not interested if they did not come as part of the package. As I continued walking I could hear them chatting, well I say chatting, it sounded more like heated conversation. The second guy runs to catch me up "we can both come with you, you want tour guide, yes?" I look around and smile "I was thinking more about how sexy you both are". The aura of confidence he had seemed to drain from him!, however he eventually smiled and returned to his friend and their heated conversation resumed. A minute or so later and both of them were walking beside me, we discuss a price for the boat ride, and they show me towards the boat. An older guy appears to be the owner, and they all have a conversation, then help me on the boat, and we are off! I sit on one side, one of the guys beside me, his friend facing us. I am looking straight across the boat at the guys bulge, the guy next to me says "you here alone?" yes I replied, "you like boys, yes?" he asks, and I nod and smiled. We go on to discuss a fee for both of them, and soon guy opposite is rubbing himself through his shorts and I can see he is hard!, however we arrive at the destination and step off the boat. The first guy seems to rush ahead and moments later is back, he has obviously been looking for somewhere we can go. As one guy is look out, I am in the bushes with the first guy sucking him, then they swap over and I have a second dick in my mouth, both guys were super hard and really enjoyed oral. For apparent straight guys, both of them enjoyed themselves! There was the usual pattern of Egypt that when it was over and we walked back to the boat they wanted more money than had been agreed, but this was soon resolved, with the total excursion costing me 1000 Egyptian pound Looking back it was more risky than maybe I should have gone for, but well worth it!

It's only one week since the Phuket Sandbox trial began and there couldn't have been many visitors yet. But they've already found one infected tourist. However, the most significant part about this story is that as soon as they identified this case, "Other tourists in the same group had been placed in 14-day quarantine". So this adds another risk. All it takes is for one positive test from a member of the group -- does this also mean everyone else who arrived on the same flight? -- and the rest are slammed into 14 days' quarantine. No different from arriving in any other part of the country. Another interesting tidbit from the story is the statement that "70% of the population has now received two doses of Covid-19 vaccine", presumably Sinovac. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2144879/first-covid-infected-tourist-found-in-phuket-sandbox

having read so many reports and experiences on the forum, I decided it was time to share some of mine. my last trip was in January 2020 prior to the Covid situation staying at the Nile Ritz Carlton, which is not as fun in terms of local guys as it once was. However I managed to get a few encounters, the first at Khan-el-Khalili market, moving from stall to shop to stall, and young guy maybe early 20's stands in my way, he's really cute in his white shirt and jogging pants, "you buy, you buy" he smiles as i look at the trinkets on display in front of the shop, "more inside, very cheap" he smiles as he ushers me inside, the shop is really small, and cute guy is standing very close, i can feel him almost pressing against my side. "You have anything else for sale" i smile as i look down at the bulge he has in his jogging pants, perhaps to check that he knew exactly what i was asking, he replies "you married sir?", i shake my head, and he follows up with "you like egyptian sausage?" i smile, and moments later he has closed the shop door and im on my knees with an egyptian sausage in my mouth!, he cums pretty quickly, but it was a great 200 egyptian pound spent The second encounter was in the hotel itself, i went to the fitness centre, there was a black guy working in there, he has a body of a god, and i cant keep my eyes off him!, he helps me with some of the exercise equipment, and is fairly friendly. I tip him everyday that i am there and on the 3rd day, he sees me enter and comes straight over, we are chatting and again the line "you married sir?" once again i shake my head, but follow it up with "i could do with some company in my room if your interested", he goes quiet on me, and i think i have said to much, then as i leave, i give him an extra large tip, complete with a slip of paper with my room number on it. About an hour later there is a knock at the door, i open it to find black fitness guy stood there, he smiles "can i come in?" he enters, makes a point of telling me he isnt gay and only does this for money. We agree a fee, and then im on my knees with his dick in my mouth, if he wasnt gay before, he certainly tried really hard!, he stayed for maybe 20 minutes and left with 800 egyptian pounds. let me know if you want me to continue with my trip reports, and message me if you want any tips on travelling around north africa!

like all bars closed. Last time I was there was during my last trip , 21 month ago. Nothing tragic as I took guy from there on night 5 or 6. As with every bar , tragic for one is gate of paradise for another. Depend of what one is looking for, no steak will be tasty for a vegetarian and every soya cutlet will be laughable for a carnivore.

Your post had me googling a couple of things. I still don't know what "GP" stands for but I'd like to share one of the possible answers I got: GP is a norvegian abbreviation for "Gullrute-Pussy

Didn't you say you bought too much in an earlier post? :-)

My first week of teleworking all time I had no sex since Tuesday. If sex is what you are looking for, you can skip this post. I am feeling slightly batter at my airbnb. Part of my frustration is coming from a roomy loft with two balconies with plenty of natural light and open views, to this view: IMG_4571.MOV I contacted my Airbnb hostess to tell her that I had nothing against her, that she was probably an employee, but that I was going to complain to airbnb for misleading advertisement. I was convinced this was an apart hotel, not a living home, and nowhere in the ad would say so. I turned to be wrong. The unit belongs to a young couple who invested on it right before the pandemic broke in. That is what these are some unfinished details (like the lightening). Knowing that I was not dealing with a company radically changed my attitude. I am still unhappy because of the contrast, I am coming from a much better apartment in a much better location at a much lower price. However, I am trying to enjoy the good things. The shower and the bed are great, and although Monserrat excites me much less than Palermo, it is a historic area with many beautiful views and good eateries. I am very close to San Telmo, but I did not have time to go there yet. I am working up to local 5pm, and as it is almost winter here, sun is down at 6. Perhaps this weekend I will go over there. If the thrill of being in Palermo was feeling as exploring a new city, the thrill here comes from exploring an area I used to know very well, and see the changes. Palermo seems a flourishing area even amidst the pandemic, here is quite different. I cannot tell whether the decadence signs started before or after the pandemic, but they are evident. These streets should be busting with people walking and working. The picture was taken around 8:30 am, before I had to check in to work. In that short walk I also found this bar, and I love it, with a young Fidel Castro human size doll in the balcony: Just as people compares Recoleta and Palermo Chico to Paris, all this area is compared to different Spanish cities. Take a look as how a Starbucks looks like here: The whole area is a historic neighborhood, I am just two blocks away from the famous Plaza de Mayo where many national historic events took place, starting on 1810. During this week, the Plaza was occupied by protesters demanding the liberation of a political prisoner in a northwest state. I was never able to be there during day light to take pictures, I was waiting for today to do it, but they all left yesterday July 9th, which is Independence Day here. Echoing some of the comments made earlier in this thread, many of the people in my circle warned me about not going there. I ignored them. Last Thursday I walked alone in the middle of the protester, and I felt perfectly safe. Very humble, darker skinned people, but absolutely peaceful and friendly. They were camping, occupying the green areas of the public space, but allowing freely pedestrian circulation, and they were taking care of cleaning behind them. When yesterday I found out they were gone, the place looked spot clean as they'd had never been there. Yesterday night I had my first chance to take a long walk. It was at night, but I though you may enjoy a few night pictures of Buenos Aires, for a change. In this walk, the area's decadence was noticeable. After finding out that the protesters were gone from Plaza de Mayo, I walk up through Avenida de Mayo. This is the city are that everyone compares to Madrid. 20 years ago, when I left, most building had been restored and new night lights installed, a project funded by the Spanish Embassy. Las night, most stores were shut down and the buildings were dark. But now and then, you would see traces of the beauty hidden in the dark: Those buildings stand out only because they have their lighting up. They are surrounded for similar beauties that you can only appreciate during day light. This is the corner of Avenida de Mayo and Avenida 9 de Julio: El Hotel La Argentina, closed. The Avenida de Mayo starts in the homonym Plaza, where the Casa Rosada, the National Executive Branch headquarters is located. It Ends in the Plaza de los Dos Congresos and the Legislative Branch headquarters: Normally, the beautiful building is fully illuminated, this darkness is another sign of the crisis. All this area is where you can find most of the best traditional Spanish cooking eateries. Take a look at this jamón serrano sandwich that was my lunch yesterday (and my breakfast today): You can also find premium restaurants from other cuisines. I am not fond of fancy restaurants and prefer regular standard eateries. For those of you into expensive, one of the most reputed Peruvian restaurants of Buenos Aires is around my corner. So far I have been sharing standard regular prices. This place is considered very expensive by the locals: Today currency: U$S 1 = $AR 98.35 at official rate; 171.5 at Blue. I did not hook up after Jason because I am budgeting and Grindr was too distracting and time demanding, as I am not an easy online hookup. I may turn it up today again, but I will be busy with friends and tomorrow with family and Alan. I used it last Tuesday before making the decision to hire Jason, but no one seem a good prospect. That is another disadvantage of this place the number of GFS (Gays for Feet Squared) is way lower than Palermo. Meanwhile, last night I rolled the last hint with the weed I bought when I arrived. Do toy remember those two beautiful jars filled with flowers? Gone. One of the friends I am meeting today has a brother who is cultivating, so I will get a reinforcement for free.

You hit the nail ! Paltry sum in Western countries often goes very long way in may poor ones , slave wages here mushroom when crossing borders and deplorable living conditions are still often much better than ones at home. Authentic discussion from my then workplace about 30 years ago: one employee got lucky and won a little bit in lottery, our boss congratulating him mused casually that this is what he paid for suit for his son recent wedding. Employee answered " I'm more rich than you, I will built new barn for that when I get home" . World is very complex place

Turning victims into criminals is a classic and regrettable way of redirecting blame. It may assuage the conscience of those who wish to deflect attention from the fact that the act would not have been even possible without the direct overt acts of the true criminals who were found guilty in this matter. There are many ways to belittle and disparage those very same people we hope to meet in our travels. In other words they're good enough to satisfy our desires while were in country but perish the thought that we should permit them into our home nations. Employing double standards that meets our needs in one set of conditions but we find distasteful in others seems remarkably convenient. In this case, it precludes the possibility that young Thais may indeed have aspirations other than a career in the sex business.

If u ever run as politician in my country, you get my vote! Lol

What’s the Tawan Bar like these days? It was bordering on tragic when I last visited 2 and half years ago. Has it improved?

Your rage is understandable as you are kind of local. Where I live I often complain about public transport ( not entirely warranted but I still complain ) , when my sister who lives in other country comes and say the bad word about the same subject I'm fast to remind her that airport is visible from my balcony if she doesn't like here. I wouldn't go too far with that 'first world/ third world ' crime comparison mindset. There are plenty of third world countries where crime is not a problem , even in depth of night. When I arrive in Bangkok which is often at 1-2 a.m. my first step is to wander through completely empty and darkened Patpong, famous 'entertainment , ahem ' district and never ever had any thought it may be dangerous. On another hand my first ever arrival in New York, no doubt very first world city was by train at 8 p.m. , hardly even night and my local friend warned me not to step outside of the Grand Central station. ( I did anyways and it was not that scary )

@msclelovr, I was going out, and sat back in this computer to write these last lines. As I said, this topic triggers me and I may have been rude. Rather than editing anything, I choose to take ownership of my rage. But I do apologize because my intention was not to be offensive or insult you, I was just spitting my rage. I happen to think that there is a well established mindset or narrative, where "first world" countries look down to the rest of the world. Within this mindset, crimes committed in the first world are an anomaly. Crimes committed in the rest of the world are expected and just another proof of our inferiority. This is an hegemonic mindset. We in the third world also interpret crime that way. I hope that makes clearer my point of view. It is just a moment of rationality and I do not know how long it is going to last before the rage takes over me again, so I stop here.

It’s clear that it does @Latbear4blk but that was not my intention. I noticed that you had not mentioned what locals term “the insecurity” and I felt that your reports might mislead foreign visitors to Buenos Aires. I understand that you are enjoying your stay in the city and that naturally you are proud of your heritage and culture. So let me be factual (since these crimes are not reported in the media unless there is a fatality) and state my own experience. 1. I visited Buenos Aires/Argentina 12x in the years 2005-2012; each visit was at least 4 weeks but did not exceed 8 weeks. I had a few Argentine friends and when in the city, I stayed in Recoleta. 2. I witnessed the immediate aftermath of 3 robberies in busy, well-lit streets in Recoleta (2x morning, 1x afternoon). 3. I intervened in a further robbery at lunchtime on what’s generally regarded as one of the best blocks in Recoleta. The thug got away with the woman’s gold necklace but not her bag. I was astounded that no local intervened to help me, tho many people (on the street, and security staff in the buildings) observed the thug robbing her. The woman said she knew instantly I was a foreigner because I had intervened. 4. An old lady (a friend of my mother) had her handbag snatched from her in broad daylight as she walked on Avenida Alvear by the shops. 5. A young friend (male, 24) had his iPhone snatched as he talked on it in the afternoon. A moped had left the road and come up behind him so that a passenger could grab the phone while the driver roared away. My friend was annoyed - he felt he should have known better as a similar robbery had happened to a friend of his the week before. 6. A notary (male, late 30s) I was using in a property transaction told me he’d been “foolish” the night before. He’d got out of a taxi before 10pm by La Biela cafe and decided to take a shortcut to his apartment across the small park near Recoleta Cemetery - when a man robbed him of his wallet at gunpoint. 7. Another young friend (male, 30) was robbed on the train home after an early dinner with me. It was before 9pm and again at gunpoint; this time, it was 2 young teenagers with an old handgun. 8. A Spanish boyfriend with 2 American friends (all male, 30s) were robbed at gunpoint when they foolishly got into a taxi on the street in Palermo Soho (they had eaten dinner in Casa Cruz, but it was before midnight) I do know of several other “incidents” (one is a violent killing) but I think the above make my point. Of course, crime happens everywhere and Buenos Aires is a lovely city. I was never robbed but I was always alert and knew exactly where I was walking to, especially at night; also I mainly was in the best areas and I made sure to be accompanied by a local when I went anywhere less good.

All it takes is one time to make you a believer.....

What you mean that after BREXIT the UK passport isn't Number ONE in the world........why that would almost sound like Boris is on lying sod who lead people up a garden path on promises of glory that he hasn't yet been able to deliver on or something ! lol * perhaps with the exception of buying vaccines early, where to be fair the UK does appear to have royally stuffed the EU, mind you as they screwed up their Covid handling so badly I think they needed to SOMETHING radical to offset that perhaps so it sort of all balances out in the end.

Interesting article here: https://coconuts.co/bangkok/news/effective-tomorrow-bangkok-residents-asked-to-stay-home-for-14-days-unless-necessary/ I didn't know you could use the word fuck in an article. I like fuck. But, is it journalistic?

Fantastic stories, thanks for sharing! I never hooked up with anyone in Egypt. Had a close encounter at a urinal in the main train station, but that was intercepted by local police who grilled me for a few minutes. Scary stuff, but I just played the dumb tourist and pretended I had no idea what they were asking me. It took a little convincing but they ultimately let me go, cautioning that I need to avoid dangerous situations like this in the future. Needless to say I did just that! You've def taken some big risks, given how common homophobic attacks and arrests are in Egypt, but I'm impressed with your results!

During my last trip to Luxor my fun did not come from a local. I was staying at Steigenberger hotel which has great views over the Nile, its a nice hotel, maybe a little touristy for my tastes, but well located. I am walking past the pool, and there are plenty of other tourists, all sitting around enjoying themselves, then I spot this bronzed god like guy, he looks to be early twenties, obviously from Europe or America, dressed in just red coloured shorts, he knows he has been blessed with fantastic looks. I sit down by the pool with my book, but in all honesty I cant keep my eyes of him!. He looks to be there with 2 other guys, both much older, and from I can make hear, they are all speaking German. I continue to watch him for a while until he seems to gather his towel and make his way up the steps into the hotel, I quickly grab my things and follow. My luck was in, we both stand in front of the elevator waiting our turn, my eyes running up and down the back of the German god. We both enter and he appears to not even notice me!, I start the conversation with "its very warm today", he politely smiles, but other than agreeing with me, there is no emotion and no desire whatsoever on his part to chat with me! The only good news from this encounter is that I find out that he is on the same floor as me! I enter my room and switch on the A/C, enjoying the cool air and after taking a shower, I lay on the bed, and do the thing I tell most guys not to do... I open Grindr on my phone!!!! As I scroll through the available guys most of which are obviously scammers, I stop on one picture, my heart rate starts to increase, the picture is just a body pic of a white guy, he has a fantastic body, but it was the red shorts in the pic that made me stop!, it was him, I was sure of it.. It was obvious from his profile that he was an escort, and by reading the details on his profile obviously an expensive one. I messaged him, making sure to say how generous i was. He did not respond straight away but maybe 20 minutes later, he did. After a few messages, I ascertained he was mostly a top but would be versatile for the right price!, time to rob an Egyptian bank I thought!!, haha, however it turned out that whilst his rates were way more than anything a local would charge it was much less than guys in other European cities. A further 20 minutes later and he is in my room, red shorts on the floor, as he took a shower in my bathroom. I definitely tried to get my moneys worth, and thanked my lucky stars when he bottomed for me. I was totally exhausted by the end of that afternoon!

Ditto...

Great stories... I am looking forward to a return visit to Egypt so I would definitely like to hear more!

What a delicious adventure. Thanks for sharing...I can hardly wait to get to Egypt with a t-shirt saying I'm not married...do you think it would help or scare them away?

It's worth reminding readers that the 39 Vietnamese who were suffocated to death in the refrigerated lorry in 2019 were not smuggling themselves into England. They were smuggled in by others. All of those convicted of manslaughter or smuggling them into the UK were citizens of the UK, Ireland or Italy. These are the faces of those young people who suffered the agonizing death. R.I.P.

Seems like malaysia and thailand are competing to see which gov fail the best. 9353 new cases and 87 death here today

From Bangkok Post Record 91 Covid deaths, 9,326 new cases Ninety-one Covid-19 fatalities and 9,326 new cases were reported on Saturday, according to the Public Health Ministry. Of the new cases, 9,134 were found among the general population and 192 among prison inmates.
