You will overpay. Airbnb provides better prices, more options, and better services.

Venerable Bangkok Massage (formerly a fixture on Twilight, opposite another venerable, Maxi's) reportedly has a sign posted on its current Patpong 2 location, looking for staff. Renowned for their talented ASEAN guys in years past, hope they can again manage to gather a similar lineup.

Kudos for sales technique and ingenuity, but counting the turds float past wouldn't stimulate my appetite!

Got into SP yesterday, almost everyone still wearing masks in the street and in stores. Only the workers were using them in Lagoa last night. Stores still require them to go in and business hours are back to normal. there were more clients than GP's last night, cold chilly tainy night. The guys are too delicate to go out in this weather, might mess up their hair, lol

Hard for me to advise given that I have only visited each country twice and for considerably shorter than 2 months. Although I would be happy to visit Brazil and Argentina again several times, as a European I love Spain, its people, its food, its amazing history, its art and architecture etc. Not being into western guys, I did not get much from Spain's gay life - apart from a totally unexpected meeting with a stunning young Asian guy from Singapore and one from Guangzhou in Barcelona! But there were Asians on the apps and so I know I would not starve! I would choose Spain partly because of the huge variety of other amazing countries I could get to in little more than an hour or two. From the little French villages, to the chateaux on the Loire, to the amazing Renaissance hill towns in Italy and the joys of its art in the main cities, Germany's Romantic Road - even the pubs and Cathedrals in England. Extend the flight by another couple of hours and the glories of Russia (forget Putin and his homophobic laws for a few weeks) and then go up beyond the Arctic Circle to see the Northern Lights (a trip when I met up with a young Asian couple travelling around by car!).

You're not alone! Like other posters I wish I had come out earlier. I really did feel as though i was almost the only gay guy around when I was 18, despite having had a few furtive experiences. I came from a relatively small town where there seemed to be very few gay men. Those who were openly gay tended to be far older. I remember there being a club in a house in a small out of the way street where these older gay guys could meet. But anyone planning to enter would always look around to check there was no one looking before doing so. Even my father, who in other matters was a very open minded man, referred to one of the middle aged men who worked in the pharmacy at the foot of our street as "one of those". I hasten to add it was not said in a derogatory tone - more merely as a matter of fact. Not even in the relatively closed atmosphere of university could I overcome my fears about coming out. It took several years of working and then my first real relationship before I summoned up the courage. It feels so strange now to remember, but it was a very real 'fear' at the time.

At the moment Thailand needs ALL the tourists it can muster. Not just the rich

Come out NOW! I wish I had it in me to come out early. The Bible Belt was not easy in the 1980s but there were openly gay men. It took me another 10 plus years before I came out and I regretted it ever since.

That's interesting! I was composing my answer, and then saw that @TotallyOzhas already said it: "Come out, now!"

@TotallyOzI vote for Spain. It is more western and more settled than the other countries. But why do you want to leave Bangkok?

A doorman gives you one extra layer of security....just my two cents. (I have read some terrible stories about Colombia on internet)

I am not a star in writing trip reports. But, I was in Mexico last month and wrote some of my experiences on this forum.

Oh good. So we have two posters who will be telling their upcoming stories with the cam site models in Medellin. I am looking forward to it. Most posters come here to ask for info but don't give much feedback. I hope this to be different this time around.

Coming from SE Asia, go to Brazil. The transition will be easier, and you will be right in between Argentina and Spain.

Rich tourism is a very small niche only the mass tourism can revive the Thai economy.

"Try some cock" Seriously wish I hadn't hesitated to experience it for so long, better late than never I suppose, now to start planning my next trip to get my hands (and other parts) on some hot Thai guys.

But if you visit Brazil you sure will be doing some activities there that you don't do in the U.S. That could increase your risk factor. 🙂

Bearing in mind how relatively cheap Thailand is for us- whether it be spent at a beach resort, in a city, touring or (significantly for us) enjoying ourselves in other ways, I find it impossible to be bothered about an expense of a few hundred baht.

More ridiculous comparisons (first price is Agoda - and so 17% for tax and service has to be added, but we do not know yet if these have to be added to the TAT prices - second price TAT site) The Landmark Bangkok: Baht 2,147 / 3,531 The Okura Presitge Bangkok: Baht 3,494 / 7,062 The Aiyapura, Koh Chang: Baht 1,347 / 2,000 Oakwood Hotel & Residence: Baht 784 / 1,199 With a 5-star hotel being almost 100% more expensive on the TAT site, that's another site for the trash bin.

Poblado is very large. The antisex tourism campaign is primarily around Parque Lleras which is the party hub. If you stay in Poblado but 15-20 min walk away from Lleras you shouldn’t have problems bringing guys back unless you are staying at a very very nice place.
