No. Because to many Thais, GAY means bottom, ladyboy, queen etc. Many will answer with "No I am man" meaning "i am gay but top" etc.

Oh shit, this is my excuse too!

As I initiated this thread in the photos section I had better join in. i have visiting Thailand mostly Pattaya. now for 20 years but unfortunately not in the last 18 months. Mostly my visits have been relatively short (3 to 4 weeks) but about. 15 years ago I did stay for several periods of 3 months. I have not maintained a record but I must have engaged the sexual services of over 150 Asian rent boys. On first contact my first concern has been the attractiveness of the boy and then I would want to know what he would permit in bed. In a bar with the noise and limited English it is sometimes difficult to pin this down even with the help of a mamasan and on the telephone occasionally impossible. In the past I liked a period of kissing and of late I have become more bottom so important to ascertain that he would top. The question of whether he was gay was not in the forefront of my mind, although I do remember it coming up occasionally when the reply was often vague. During my longer stays after a couple of weeks of bar hopping and beer drinking I calmed down and took boys for extended periods during which I got to know them fairly well even to the extent of meeting their family. With one very attractive boy I became his classic daddy, giving significant money and presents. I regarded him as bisexual, with him admitting to enjoying sex with girls, even having a bar girl as his girlfriend whilst living with me. But he had had a lot of gay sex with other farangs, and told me that he often enjoyed it and especially liked being desired by gay men.

me too. I'll ask: What is your favorite Barbara Streisand song? What color are your bedroom sheets? hotdogs or burgers? Who is your favorite Golden Girls? (young ones may not know this and need an assignment) Do you like cut or uncut? What is the name of your favorite dildo?

From BBC Travel flock of birds glided below me as I peered down from the wicker basket of a drifting hot air balloon above the Malaysian city of Putrajaya. The creatures gracefully flapped their grey wings as they passed the city’s nest of skyscrapers en route to their nearby habitat at the Putrajaya Wetlands Park, the largest man-made freshwater wetlands in Malaysia. Nearly 100 bird species reside in this 200-hectare oasis of marshes, ponds and forest, and it's a valuable habitat for 1,800 species of insects, 16 types of amphibians, 22 species of reptiles and 16 types of mammals. It's hard to believe that this serene sanctuary home to macaques, flamingos, otters, boars and civets is just 2km north of the mint-green Islamic dome that decorates Perdana Putra, the colossal office of the prime minister of Malaysia. This sprawling eco-haven was part of the bold vision of the man who long occupied Perdana Putra: Mahathir Mohamad. No politician has left as large an imprint on Malaysia as Mahathir. Malaysia has been an independent nation for 64 years, and Mahathir was prime minister for 24 of those, with his second leadership stint ending in 2020. While his tenures were tinged with controversy, Mahathir’s aggressive development strategies helped Malaysia build one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies in the 1990s. Several of Kuala Lumpur's largest monuments testify to his ambition – chief among them the massive Kuala Lumpur International Airport and the iconic 452m-tall Petronas Twin Towers. But his boldest project of all was Putrajaya, Malaysia's "other" capital city. he airport took flight in 1998; the twin towers rose that same year; and in 1999 Putrajaya became the new seat of the Malaysian Federal Government to help address overcrowding in Kuala Lumpur. The modern, planned city bloomed out of a messy patch of rubber and oil palm plantations. Lying just 25km south of Kuala Lumpur, which remains the national capital, Putrajaya now serves as Malaysia’s administrative and judicial capital, home to many of its government offices. Yet, despite being wedged between one of the world's most visited cities, Kuala Lumpur, and Malaysia's historical city of Malacca, Malaysia's "other" capital seems to hide in plain sight. Like countless other travellers, during my first dozen trips to Kuala Lumpur, the most I saw of Putrajaya was a series of quick glances from the expressways that connects Kuala Lumpur's airport with the city centre. My curiosity eventually lured me to explore this overlooked city twice: first in a hot air balloon; and later on foot. The few tourists who do visit Putrajaya are richly rewarded. Putrajaya’s downtown is marked by contemporary architecture infused with traditional Islamic designs. Gleaming skyscrapers are adorned by Arabesque patterns with geometric or floral motifs. The city’s Iron Mosque, meanwhile, boasts the kind of cutting-edge steel-and-glass architecture you’d expect to find in Tokyo or Beijing. Similarly modern is the Putrajaya Convention Centre, an avant-garde creation inspired by the Pending Perak, a silver belt buckle from the royal regalia of Malay sultans. The city is also home to one of the world's only pink mosques, the massive Masjid Putra – as well as impressive museums, a large shopping precinct and one of Asia’s cleanest and greenest cityscapes, with 37% of its land dedicated to parks and open public spaces. Building Putrajaya from scratch also afforded generous opportunities for innovation. Mahathir’s goal was to make Putrajaya Malaysia’s most eco-friendly urban centre and its most modern. Inside a large command centre, Putrajaya city staff monitor a tsunami of digital data from sensors and CCTV cameras placed all over the metropolis, according to Tengku Aina Ismail, director of communications for Putrajaya Corporation, the government entity that runs the federal city. The cameras quickly identify and then alert staff about problems with traffic, crime, pollution or infrastructure; and the command centre also monitors the city’s weather data, its e-government services, its cashless commercial system (which lets residents pay for goods and services using a phone app) and even the health of Putrajaya Lake and the surrounding wetlands.

From Thai Enquirer Royal Gazette announces revision of Police Code of Ethics The Royal Thai Government Gazette published a new announcement Thursday, addressing the revision of the Police Code of Ethics into seven new rules that will come into effect immediately. All officials must adhere to the main institutions of the country, namely nation, religion, the monarchy, and constitutional democracy with the King as the Head of State. Police officials must perform their duty for their state with an expression of national pride, while above all maintaining the interests of the overall Kingdom and respecting all religions followed by citizens. Honesty and integrity: all officials must perform their duty as according to the law with clear transparency and never seek personal benefits. All officials must hold, above all, the responsibility and accountability to investigate, admit wrongdoings, and be conscientious, while holding the people, human dignity, the environment, and nation at the heart of their duty. The courage to make the right decisions and stand up for righteousness: the courage for officials to stand up and speak out for what is right and wrong, without personal prejudice or personal benefits in mind. To refuse to partake in activities related to personal or private gains and to not associate themselves with or support those who commit wrongdoings, especially those in position of authority. To never abuse the trust of the Thai citizens, and to always be impartial as agents of the Thai judicial process. To always prioritize the needs of the public over their own: to have the public’s interest at heart, with the willingness to unite and sacrifice for the greater good of the country. To strive for the success, efficiency, and quality of their work and duty: to efficiently perform their duty with efficiency and righteousness, while always keeping in mind the safety and security of the people in the country. To uphold international ethical standards while always striving for self-improvement and professional development.

To reveal information that is transparent and necessary for the progress and justice within the Kingdom. To perform their duty honorably and without prejudice: to always uphold equality above all else while performing their duties, and to never use their personal prejudice or biases to side with any particular group or person, whether it is by their background, race, religion, gender, personal beliefs, age, education, or political preferences. To always respect the dignity, right, and differences of each individual, and to always stay neutral in politics. To always remain an example of a good public servant: to maintain and perform their duty as an ideal image of a government official serving as a peacekeeper and gaining trust from their people. To always treat people with politeness, humility, and respect, to never abuse and exercise their power senselessly for personal gains and benefits. To lead a simple life, while adopting the principles under the Sufficiency Economy philosophy as written by His Royal Highness, and to apply the religious doctrines accordingly in order to behave as good citizens who respect the law and discipline of the country. https://www.thaienquirer.com/32135/royal-gazette-announces-revision-of-police-code-of-ethics-following-joe-ferrari-case/

Im surprised the article claim that people never heard of putrajaya. It is in between the airport and KL, and if u ever tale the airport train, one of the stop is putrajaya. Other than that, i agree that it is a well planned new capital that deserve a visit. Unfortunately, there is no lrt to travel through the city so most local use car or motorcycle to roam the city. Plenty of people enjoy cycling too. There is a local bus system but ive never taken one so i cant comment on their reliability. A lot of government events held there well, with the latest was national day parade on 31st Aug. Hot air baloon mentioned in the article is something ive never took, but there is an annual hot air balloon festival/competition pre-covid era. If you are visiting malaysia and KL, it is definitely worth a visit, great place to take pictures too. Some photos from my most recent visit at night

that means , like in many other countries locals are being priced out of market

indeed , it looks like he is coming with twins

From Thai Enquirer Major protest called for Friday Thousands of people gathered in downtown Bangkok on Thursday night to protest the government of General Prayut Chan-ocha. Thai student groups and pro-democracy redshirt groups are calling for a protest Friday in Bangkok to oppose the government of General Prayut Chan-ocha and to highlight the government’s mismanagement of the Covid-19 situation. Several protests have taken place over the last week including one attended by thousands on Thursday evening. The various protest groups have rallied together to demand the ouster of one-time coup leader and current Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha. Another major rallied has been called for on Friday in Bangkok’s old town with rally goers expected to arrive by 4pm. https://www.thaienquirer.com/32160/major-protest-called-for-friday-in-bangkok-against-prayut-government/

Im not medical expert but if the hospital had to isolate you and everyone need to wear gloved and full ppe to enter, rimming or not, youll get it if u are with a person who has it.

Many who are gay but not bottom will say gay man. That means up to you in bed?

Dont, in short. For most Thai-except perhaps the few that got a western-style education and have been outside- gay simple means ´being a bottom in sexual intercourse´ and not homosexual in the way most people on this tree use it. For some the word ´hohmoh´ (not hoo-moo, thats like hu-mu) may have the message. You dont talk in Thai about such things-just do it!

Let's not forget that @spoon is just a youngster - unlike most of us here!

And all the villagers who donated so much, including the landowners who refused compensation when their land was flooded by the water pumped from the cave. But surely this TV series is way too late off the blocks. Netflix won the rights over 2 years ago. What has it been doing to progress the project since then? How many other documentaries have already been aired? How many interviews with those who took part? I suspect a lot of international interest will have died before it finally airs.

Does anyone seriously believe in a country where corruption is endemic from top to bottom, where the Prime Minister has stated it will take him 20 years to get rid of corruption (meaning: get as much as you can now boys whilst you are still alive - I'm going to leave it to the next generation to try and solve the corruption problem) that these new rules will be obeyed? I'll believe it when I see it!

Now I see what you mean. Indeed it does not make sense. My brain did not ever process "travelers to and from", and just read "travelers to" because it is the only option that makes sense.

yes , that unfortunate guy need to die horrible death for powers to realize police need to strive for those worthy goals

So prior to these new 7 rules, they dont need to be honest, obey the constitution, make right decision, prioritize the public, strive for success, carry duty without prejudice, and be a good example?

Lets hope their filming gives appropriate recognition to the various contributions by the International Communities in the rescue efforts this time.

From Bangkok Post Tourism minister backs reopening The tourism minister has defended the country's reopening plan as promised by the prime minister, stating that five more provinces including Bangkok should be ready for visitors from October, followed by another 21 provinces nationwide. During the no-confidence debate on Wednesday, Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, the tourism and sports minister, said after Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha vowed to reopen the country by mid-October, the ministry and the Tourism Authority of Thailand were assigned to work closely with provincial governors and local communicable disease committees. However, he said only some provinces or districts are possible to reopen this year under a three-step plan. The first step started with three projects in four provinces: the Phuket Sandbox and Samui Plus schemes on July 1 and July 15, respectively, followed by two provinces, Phangnga and Krabi, under the 7+7 extension plan in mid-August. The second step slated for Oct 1 consists of Bangkok, Chon Buri (Pattaya), Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan (Hua Hin) and Chiang Mai, while the third step set for Oct 15 comprises 21 provinces across the country. In the North, six provinces have been selected: Mae Hong Son, Lamphun, Phrae, Nan, Chiang Rai and Sukhothai. Four were chosen in the Northeast: Udon Thani, Nong Khai, Bueng Kan and Ubon Ratchathani. The South had five provinces selected -- Ranong, Trang, Satun, Songkhla and Narathiwat -- while the eastern region chose Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat. Ayutthaya is planned for the central region, while Kanchanaburi and Ratchaburi are priorities in the western region. https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/2174927/phiphat-backs-reopening-with-a-caveat ====================================== Curfew may be lifted soon, Prayut says The night curfew in dark-red zones may be shortened or lifted, depending on the Covid-19 situation, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said on Wednesday. He said the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) had eased some disease controls, effective from Wednesday, and he hoped everyone would strictly comply with them. The restrictions could be further relaxed if the situation improved, he said. As for the 9pm-4am curfew, which remained unchanged, Gen Prayut said it could be shortened or lifted entirely -- depending on the number of infections, fatalities and other indications of the seriousness of the situation. The prime minister said he knew the curfew had affected entertainment places. His advice was for associations of owners of pubs, bars and other night spots to discuss the matter with the CCSA, and make suggestions for consideration. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2174875/curfew-may-be-lifted-soon-prayut-says

no Golden Girls?

I would take these statistics very suspiciously , most of the vaccines are the Chinese Sinovac which is unreliable and questionable efficient.

oh yes , that bulge in the back pocket !

and then there's Qantas: Queens and Nymphomaniacs Travelling As Stewards and for seasoned Caribbean travellers, LIAT (Leeward Islands Air Transport) better known as Luggage in Another Terminal

At this point with everything closed I'd guess that most airlines are still in wait-and-see mode with few flights scheduled. If things really open they will add flights which will decrease fares. I don't have much faith or trust in the Thai government. I'm way more inclined to wait until mid or late next year to see where we stand. As I said in the other thread, from my home to get to Thailand is about 24 hours of travel time. That much time with a mask requirement isn't something I'd want to put myself through. Especially when what's happening on the other end is rather unknown. I prefer to let things settle and get back up and running more "normally" rather than be a pioneer. Although I am vaccinated we are seeing a fair few "breakthrough" infections with the current variant, albeit mostly without requiring hospitalization or inflicting severe disease. Who knows that the next variant will be like. I'd also rather go when most of the locals have been fully vaccinated.

Rimming is something can not stop easily

Yes, of course Not only does it look clean, but it's also a really nice one to kiss and rim!

I licked some assholes and I’m still alive

Life is dangerous, Rim on!

Hi Lucky, if you put plastic on a vagina, you would lick the plastic & not the vagina, right? :-)

Rimming a bubble butt is one of my favourite things. But it has to be 100% clean, not even hair! If you can't tell it's clean, don't put your mouth anywhere near it.
