After being closed up in my condo in Pattaya for seven and a half months I am heading to Bangkok in a couple of weeks for some hospital appointments and I intend to make full use of the restaurants in Soi 4 serving alcohol with my food and just enjoying the sense of being free again now that I am fully vaccinated. I have so much respect for the Thai families I see in the shopping centres like Central Festival, with even the toddlers and babies in their prams wearing masks. Stay safe people.

I got approval already. If you got a success message after the last step, you should also get a mail, check your spam folder. If you got an error after the last step, you wont get a mail, but it could still have gone through. Approval took a few hours only. Maybe they prioritize by flight date, so could take longer if you fly later. At the page for the vaccine data it says that application will be processed faster if you have a barcode. Problems with the page: - only jpeg, no pdf - only one document per category, so for example if your insurance paper has 2 pages and you made a jpeg for each page, you need to merge them to one jpeg - some people on internet said they have problems with Jonson vaccine, because the field for the second vaccination is mandatory. - "server error" after the final step. Unclear, if application is uploaded or not in this case, you dont get a confirmation mail - "your passport number has already been used" error after the final step. Unclear, if application is uploaded or not in this case, probably yes. Currently, you need the following docs all in jpeg: - passport - hotel reservation (with airport pickup + pcr) - vaccine certificate: you need 4 docs: - certificate for 1. dose - (optional) barcode for 1. dose - certificate for 2. dose - (optional) barcode for 2. dose - insurance (insurcance recommended by embassies covid19.tgia.org is accepted even though it is not general health insurance but covid only) The marketing said it will also replace TM6 (entry form) and TM8 (health form) ... that is strange, because there were no health related questions and as for TM6 there was only arrival date + flight number + number of days + occupation + personal data, no other questions that are on the paper form. What will happen on departure if we dont have any departure card?

I agree Oz, unfortunately i think the Brazilian economy has affected the middle class/middle age clients the most! a night out at the sauna for a Brazilian costs $60R. for admission, suites vary but a night out at the sauna for a local runs about $300.R.if they do one guy! and have a drink! those who used to go Once a week go once a month if that!

A gay brothel in Cologne, Germany. I did not go there but it was mentionned to me in a recent conversation. I checked and it is still open after pandemia. Prices : Some boys look nice ! Anyone went there ? Any comments ?

From Bangkok Post Construction work has begun on the first section of the 4.5km Klong Chong Nonsi canal park which will open on Dec 25. Thana Boonlert Once known as the Venice of the East, Bangkok has seen its vast network of rivers winding through the capital vanish due to urban development. Construction has filled in klongs (canals) for roads and houses and the remaining waterways have become neglected and clogged with rubbish. However, the sound of pile drivers is once again pounding in the heart of the withering city. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is reviving canals and surrounding areas to increase clean water access and green space. Five pilot projects are expected to open by the end of this year. "I remember going to school and passing Klong Lot and Klong Phadung. I remember seeing people empty their bowels, wash dishes, and sell goods along the same canal. Urban development has overlooked waterways," Pongsakorn Kwanmuang, the BMA spokesman, told the press. "Canals are treated like sewers." City authorities have been trying to improve the condition of waterways, including those in the central business district. Inspired by the Cheonggyecheon Restoration Project in Seoul, they are building Klong Chong Nonsi canal park, which flows into the Chao Phraya River. It will open on Dec 25. Once finished, the first section of the 4.5km Klong Chong Nonsi canal park will feature trees and water plants. Photo courtesy of Kotchakorn Voraakhom Pongsakorn said the new public space will use the pipe jacking method to carry wastewater to a treatment station and flush clean water to Klong Chong Nonsi. "Then, it will flow into Klong Sathorn, Lumpini Park, Klong Paisingto, Klong Tonson, and Klong Toey," he said. https://www.bangkokpost.com/life/social-and-lifestyle/2207371/giving-new-life-to-canals

Here is an article that describes very well what happened yesterday: https://bangkokherald.com/business/tech/thailand-pass-is-live-and-its-a-mess-as-expected/ And here is an article how to overcome certain error messages: https://bangkokherald.com/business/tech/thailand-pass-api-error-heres-how-to-fix-it/ If anyone can find any publication of numbers how many TP were requested and issued and how many people tried without success yesterday, I would really like to know.

I hope the saunas last a long time. The locals use them and many will not use the apps. They are legal and legit. I am not sure those things will change. Like most areas, apps do change the numbers. But, there is always a case for viewing in person as opposed to online. A recent trip to a Bangkok Massage for a cute guy turned out to be really bad for me as he looked NOTHING like the photos. I always enjoyed the saunas as you really get to see the good before you test them in a room. I do miss those big nights at 117 where I had to wait 2 hours for a room.

Sorry i thought the link was there! https://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/ultimas-noticias/2021/10/30/copacabana-sauna-gay-sobrevive-a-pandemia-mas-dono-preve-sucumbir-a-apps.htm

We feel compelled to reprint the entire thing, just because we never had any idea that W.H. Auden wrote an unbelievably filthy poem about an anonymous blow job. According to the editor’s note, Auden wrote the poem in 1948, and copies were circulated among friends and fans for years, before Ed Sanders printed an unauthorized version in 1965. Auden publicly denied authorship, which is why we can reprint this without permission and with impunity (as does the anthology, which doesn’t include Auden’s poem on its copyright page). Enjoy! The Platonic Blow W. H. Auden It was a spring day, a day for a lay, when the air Smelled like a locker-room, a day to blow or get blown; Returning from lunch I turned my corner and there On a near-by stoop I saw him standing alone. I glanced as I advanced. The clean white T-shirt outlined A forceful torso, the light-blue denims divulged Much. I observed the snug curves where they hugged the behind, I watched the crotch where the cloth intriguingly bulged. Our eyes met. I felt sick. My knees turned weak. I couldn’t move. I didn’t know what to say. In a blur I heard words, myself like a stranger speak “Will you come to my room?” Then a husky voice, “O.K.” I produced some beer and we talked. Like a little boy He told me his story. Present address: next door. Half Polish, half Irish. The youngest. From Illinois. Profession: mechanic. Name: Bud. Age: twenty-four. He put down his glass and stretched his bare arms along The back of my sofa. The afternoon sunlight struck The blond hairs on the wrist near my head. His chin was strong. His mouth sucky. I could hardly believe my luck. And here he was sitting beside me, legs apart. I could bear it no longer. I touched the inside of his thigh. His reply was to move closer. I trembled, my heart Thumped and jumped as my fingers went to his fly. I opened a gap in the flap. I went in there. I sought for a slit in the gripper shorts that had charge Of the basket I asked for. I came to warm flesh then to hair. I went on. I found what I hoped. I groped. It was large. He responded to my fondling in a charming, disarming way: Without a word he unbuckled his belt while I felt. And lolled back, stretching his legs. His pants fell away. Carefully drawing it out, I beheld what I held. The circumcised head was a work of mastercraft With perfectly beveled rim of unusual weight And the friendliest red. Even relaxed, the shaft Was of noble dimensions with the wrinkles that indicate Singular powers of extension. For a second or two, It lay there inert, then suddenly stirred in my hand, Then paused as if frightened or doubtful of what to do. And then with a violent jerk began to expand. By soundless bounds it extended and distended, by quick Great leaps it rose, it flushed, it rushed to its full size. Nearly nine inches long and three inches thick, A royal column, ineffably solemn and wise. I tested its length and strength with a manual squeeze. I bunched my fingers and twirled them about the knob. I stroked it from top to bottom. I got on my knees. I lowered my head. I opened my mouth for the job. But he pushed me gently away. He bent down. He unlaced His shoes. He removed his socks. Stood up. Shed His pants altogether. Muscles in arms and waist Rippled as he whipped his T-shirt over his head. I scanned his tan, enjoyed the contrast of brown Trunk against white shorts taut around small Hips. With a dig and a wriggle he peeled them down. I tore off my clothes. He faced me, smiling. I saw all. The gorgeous organ stood stiffly and straightly out With a slight flare upwards. At each beat of his heart it threw An odd little nod my way. From the slot of the spout Exuded a drop of transparent viscous goo. The lair of hair was fair, the grove of a young man, A tangle of curls and whorls, luxuriant but couth. Except for a spur of golden hairs that fan To the neat navel, the rest of the belly was smooth. Well hung, slung from the fork of the muscular legs, The firm vase of his sperm, like a bulging pear, Cradling its handsome glands, two herculean eggs, Swung as he came towards me, shameless, bare. We aligned mouths. We entwined. All act was clutch, All fact contact, the attack and the interlock Of tongues, the charms of arms. I shook at the touch Of his fresh flesh, I rocked at the shock of his cock. Straddling my legs a little I inserted his divine Person between and closed on it tight as I could. The upright warmth of his belly lay all along mine. Nude, glued together for a minute, we stood. I stroked the lobes of his ears, the back of his head And the broad shoulders. I took bold hold of the compact Globes of his bottom. We tottered. He fell on the bed. Lips parted, eyes closed, he lay there, ripe for the act. Mad to be had, to be felt and smelled. My lips Explored the adorable masculine tits. My eyes Assessed the chest. I caressed the athletic hips And the slim limbs. I approved the grooves of the thighs. I hugged, I snuggled into an armpit. I sniffed The subtle whiff of its tuft. I lapped up the taste Of its hot hollow. My fingers began to drift On a trek of inspection, a leisurely tour of the waist. Downward in narrowing circles they playfully strayed. Encroached on his privates like poachers, approached the prick, But teasingly swerved, retreated from meeting. It betrayed Its pleading need by a pretty imploring kick. “Shall I rim you?” I whispered. He shifted his limbs in assent. Turned on his side and opened his legs, let me pass To the dark parts behind. I kissed as I went The great thick cord that ran back from his balls to his arse. Prying the buttocks aside, I nosed my way in Down the shaggy slopes. I came to the puckered goal. It was quick to my licking. He pressed his crotch to my chin. His thighs squirmed as my tongue wormed in his hole. His sensations yearned for consummation. He untucked His legs and lay panting, hot as a teen-age boy. Naked, enlarged, charged, aching to get sucked, Clawing the sheet, all his pores open to joy. I inspected his erection. I surveyed his parts with a stare From scrotum level. Sighting along the underside Of his cock, I looked through the forest of pubic hair To the range of the chest beyond rising lofty and wide. I admired the texture, the delicate wrinkles and the neat Sutures of the capacious bag. I adored the grace Of the male genitalia. I raised the delicious meat Up to my mouth, brought the face of its hard-on to my face. Slipping my lips round the Byzantine dome of the head, With the tip of my tongue I caressed the sensitive groove. He thrilled to the trill. “That’s lovely!” he hoarsely said. “Go on! Go on!” Very slowly I started to move. Gently, intently, I slid to the massive base Of his tower of power, paused there a moment down In the warm moist thicket, then began to retrace Inch by inch the smooth way to the throbbing crown. Indwelling excitements swelled at delights to come As I descended and ascended those thick distended walls. I grasped his root between left forefinger and thumb And with my right hand tickled his heavy voluminous balls. I plunged with a rhythmical lunge steady and slow, And at every stroke made a corkscrew roll with my tongue. His soul reeled in the feeling. He whimpered “Oh!” As I tongued and squeezed and rolled and tickled and swung. Then I pressed on the spot where the groin is joined to the cock, Slipped a finger into his arse and massaged him from inside. The secret sluices of his juices began to unlock. He melted into what he felt. “O Jesus!” he cried. Waves of immeasurable pleasures mounted his member in quick Spasms. I lay still in the notch of his crotch inhaling his sweat. His ring convulsed round my finger. Into me, rich and thick, His hot spunk spouted in gouts, spurted in jet after jet.

#LatePost Another weekend of sex sex and more sex. So the hubby and I decide to take ANOTHER, YES ANOTHER trip to the DR. Hes told me many times how much he prefers the DR over Rio. With our ability to jump on a Spirit flight on a Friday night, PHUCK ALL WEEKEND and come back home Sunday night, im beginning to agree with him. When we arrive, I manny has a few new guys that he wanted us to check out, but my hubby has his regular that he enjoys and I met this officer the last time I was there so i wanted o try something new. True story about how I met this officer in the colonial zone and got his whatsapp number. Last month when we were there I went to Pick up a guy in the colonial zone who couldn't find my apartment BLK HERCULES is what I call him. Hes the guy on my Twitter page that im sucking and riding. OMG! his body is unbelievable. I call him blk Hercules, but his complexion isn't blk. It's more like beige/tan/coco. Again his body is PHUCKING AMAZING. SO as im waiting for him in front of EL CONDE HOTEL AND RESTAURANT a lean sexy cop is in standing in the area. My deviant mind walks over and asks the cop in Spanish, "do you know where Pacos is. The restaurant where all the sexy Dominican guys hang out to make extra money?" Now I knew where pacos was. I just wanted to see if the cop would take the bait. Sure enough he took the bait, hook, line and sinker. He knew what I wanted and didn't want to miss out on making extra money himself. He gave me his whatsapp but we didn't do anything that trip because I already had guys lined up through manny. The cop and I spoke from time to time and agreed to hook up on my next trip, which was this past weekend. He would never send me any dick pics and is very careful with his words when he texts. I'm a true whore and I know what I love. I love BIG DICKS. I like my hole being pounded and punished. the cop told me he had a big dick but would never send pics. In my slutty mind I was like "PHUCK THIS! If you can't show me the dick and I can't confirm if its big like I like them then im not going to waste my time chatting with you while I'm in the US and you are in the DR." I finally said hello when he hit me up after the 2nd or 3rd day of me not responding to him. He asked why I stopped talking and I told him why. Next thing I knew. He sent a video of him on a couch with a HUGE ERECT dick. I WAS blown TF away, but couldn't view the video anymore because whatsapp has a feature now that automatically erases the video after a person views the video. I had no idea this feature was available until he sent me the disappearing video. He asked when I was coming back and I told him. He asked me to have some cold presidente beer for him because it relaxes him and makes his very horny. When he got to the apartment, I showed him my Twitter page and asked could I take a picture of him and promised not to show his face. He agreed and while he was showering he called me into the bathroom. When I walked in the bathroom his dick was brick hard and he wanted me to take a video without his face. I almost broke my neck running back to the room to get my phone to record him and his BIG ERECT DICK... He got out of that shower and gave me what I so desperately needed, a good old DICK DOWN. He was the only guy I saw the entire weekend. After having my insides rearranged the entire weekend, he texted ME OUT THE BLUE on Monday and told me it was ok to post the shower video and other videos we recorded on my twitter page as long as I crop his face like I did the other guys in the videos on my page. AS ALWAYS It was an AMAZING WEEKEND in SDQ. my Twitter page is blaksuperman2. The videos I recorded with him are take too long to upload here. It's like 30 minutes or more for 1 video. #Enjoy Until next time, BE SAFE and HEALTHY, guys. 20211009_103554.mp4

I am not referring to the users of parks, who may indeed include those less well off. I am referring to the street vendors, food cart operators and ordinary folks living in squatter colonies some miles from the proposed Chong Nonsi Park. Have you seen food sellers pour away unfinished soup into drains and wash their utensils by the side of same drains? I have, all the time. Have you seen toy vendors throw plastic wrap onto the ground, which then gets blown into drains? I have. Have you ever had a hard time finding a rubbish bin so that you can throw away your empty drink can responsibly? I am sure many of us have. When the municipality fails to provide basic sanitation amenities (clean water and sewage connections for squatters, to begin with) people do what they must. And then all that stuff drifts down canals and khlongs to the same parks that city planners imagine. I am not pointing moral fingers at those who have no choice but to live on the sidewalk or carry on their trades there. I am just stating a reality of poverty. But the downstream reality that follows is that somebody then has to take care of the rubbish in the waterways. I don't know how many board members have taken the Khlong Saen Saeb boat starting from near Pratunam and that goes all the way eastwards to Lat Phrao and Bangkapi. If you have you would have noticed the water - seated on the boat, you'd just be 30 cm from the virually black surface - and kept your fingers crossed you don't fall into it. Even being splashed would be most unwelcome.

I actually read exactly that somewhere, but cant recall where. Anyway, i recalled they had like 22k application and approved 4k or something like that. I might be dreaming though. Update, found the source

This is why I'm waiting. Or at least, one of the reasons. And what the hell are jpg and png? I struggle enough with the everyday operation of this infernal machine and so it appears that I shall have to employ a technician to help me. A home visit, I suspect , will be expensive. And this is not a joke. To be blunt, I'd rather queue-up at the Thai Embassy in London. Another thought; I do have a computer and have just bought my first (and probably last) mobile phone, specifically for Thailand.. There are some technologically-deprived souls who own neither....are they to be permanently denied a trip to meet their boyfriends?

I doubt that many westerns have the same social discipline as the Thais or the Koreans. Just because that many may be poor, I wouldn't be so quick to assume that they'll automatically be tossing their trash in the water. The poor are just as capable of appreciating the beauty of comfort of a park-like environment as the wealthy. Thousands use Lumpini park every day and you don't see them throwing their refuse in the pond.

The Cheonggyecheon stream has two advantages which the Chong Nonsi canal does not have. The first is that Cheonggyecheon stream runs down a slight incline, thus the water is never stagnant, and running water has a very soothing effect. The second advantage is that the stream sits in a bit of a valley about 6 metres below the road level on either side. So, when one is walking alongside the stream, one is physically cut off from the parallel roads, and traffic noise is reduced. In addition to the maintenance issue that z909 has referred to, I also doubt if Thais have the same social discipline as Koreans not to keep putting trash into waterways. Even if those appreciating the park demonstrate that discipline, thousands more upstream of it may not. As a poorer society, more of them spend their lives or carry out businesses on the street. This makes the burden and cost of cleaning and maintenance higher. I wonder as well if they're going to create more pedestrian crossings from the sidewalks along Narathiwat Road, otherwise it will be difficult and dangerous to get to the proposed park. But then, creating pedestrian crossings will annoy drivers -- the hi so on which most Thai governments depend on for support.

It does say to wait 7 days (i assumed business day) for approval. After 7 days, if u didnt get anything, id reapply https://www.mfa.go.th/en/content/thailand-pass-faqs

that seems like a pretty tight timetable, but Bangkok seems to have been adding a lot of parks lately along with all of the new transportation projects.

I have no sympathy for him and the mindset rigidity that prevents having a stripper/lapdance arrangement integrated into the setting without upsetting the conventional brothel model. Somebody needs to grab him by the scruff of the neck, drag him to Montreal, etc, and show him that his venue structure could accommodate both agendas/playbooks. It’s a mystery to me, what with erotic performative labor including full sex legalized, the middle ground of, say, BRL10 private lap dances by strippers with full evening stage continuity, and said lap dances in a VIP open space (ie, top floor with slow music tracks) or more private booths such as could be the few adjacent small suites up there, has never caught on. It seems to be a major gap, oversight, in Brazil in terms of the continuum from watching/observing to full interactive transactional sex. If I were to rank my top 25 experiences past 25 years there would be both Brazil sauna brothel and northern strip club encounters in the mix. It could be lucrative for the house and local studs willing to meet halfway. I am not referring to the largely play-hard-to-get small contingent of dancers corralled by their drag MCs. I mean physique guys open to removing their clothes and engaging in private physical touch according to the optional boundaries of a stripper club, without the high-level performance demand for full sex that screens out many of them. Strip club owners up here can make a good living without the brothel aspect. The current problem in Montreal is too many at once trying to remain sustainable. He could consider the potential adjunct without much alteration to the space and capitalize on the best of both worlds. It would be a bigger challenge for some of the venues other than 202, but I could envision it there. He could consider experimenting with it without the need of extensive retrofitting. Multi-purpose innovation is the key to survival. Such an arrangement could also open to the door to structured ladies’ nights with a full roster of ‘part-time job’ strippers and lap dances for them. And, OMG, audition nights. For a small sum he could optionally get a one month membership for Stock Bar streaming to get a flavour of the arrangement. Each evening plays into a 24-hour loop so he can view outside of his club management hours. No need for a pole, necessarily. My favourite dancers have often not utilized it and may simply walk around rhythmically without fancy moves.

Celebs Kal Penn Comes Out as Gay, Announces Engagement to Partner of 11 Years The actor has been in a relationship for 11 years and recently got engaged. Kal Penn, an actor known for starring in the Harold & Kumar film franchise and who worked in the Obama administration, has come out as gay. The actor made the revelation in interviews surrounding the release of his tell-all memoir You Can't be Serious. Penn has been in a relationship with his partner Josh for 11 years, according to People magazine. The couple celebrated their anniversary in October and are engaged. While Penn said he has let those in his life know about his relationship, he has never spoken about it to the general public. Penn told People that Josh doesn't "love attention" and shies away from the limelight. Penn worked in the Obama administration for two years in addition to his career as an actor — he worked on projects like House and Designated Survivor. On his first date with Josh, which came while he was working at the White House, the pair watched NASCAR and drank Coors Light. There are multiple paparazzi photos of the pair together, particularly at basketball games, but Josh was only credited as a guest. "I discovered my own sexuality relatively late in life compared to many other people," Penn told People. "There's no timeline on this stuff. People figure their sh-- out at different times in their lives, so I'm glad I did when I did." To promote the book, Penn also posted a series of photos on Instagram. "Kicking off book launch week on CBS Sunday morning today!" he wrote in a caption. "So excited to share my stories with you." In one of the photos is Romen Borsellino, who he created the show Kal Penn Approves This Message with, reading beside an oversized dildo. The dildo may have come from a hosting gig that Penn had. In 2019, he toured a sex toy production line in the Amazon docu-comedy series This Giant Beast That Is The Global Economy.

also there are many "straight" or married men who won't advertise on apps or websites due to wanting to keep their anonymity but are happy to show up at saunas and this is when we get lucky as many of them are gods. I also like to inspect the goods prior to purchase, if some of the so called tops cannot get hard when inspecting I move on!

Comparing costs for the expat life is difficult and subjective because what do you need to feel a comfortable middle class life? Middle class for Americans (living space, car, spotless restaurants, convenience, top-notch health care) or for elite coastal Americans (art, culture, global cuisines) would be almost the American budget. The well-to-do in Brazil make and spend as much money as any American, with vacations to the Amalfi Coast and all that. However, comfortable middle-class Brazilian (tiny apartments, neighborhood por quilo restaurant, long public transport commutes) would be much less if you can tolerate the somewhat decrease in expectations.

@Lonnie in the past i most definitely wouldn't be so bold if my husband wasnt with me. He would beg to differ though. He always tells me im being too presumptuous. I'm not rude, disrespectful or aggressive with my approach. I just play the "BIMBO," role and ask where Pacos is and throw in the line about the handsome guys who want to make extra money. Those cops know its a cruising spot and want their pockets padded as well. Although, I've tried it on a few cops and it didn't work, but my approach is harmless. I always make sure the cop is alone and No other cops around him. The cops in front of pacos will PAY FOR PLAY, also. Would I travel to the DR without my husband now IF HE ALOWED ME? HELL YEAH. I comfortable on the streets and in the colonial area. I would still use that pick up line on the cops also. Hey! A whore has gotta do what a whore has gotta do. Be well, my friend!!

@Lonnie scolding you? Who me?????? But, im a shamless whore. Im the last person to pass judgment or scold someone because of their fantasies. THEY will bring their uniforms in a back pack. I have it recorded and with pics, but I am too afraid that id get in trouble with the their law enforcement if i post any of those pics. They try to kiss, but I don't kiss AT ALL unless its my hubby. Attached is a pic of THE COP. He is a STRONG POWERFUL GUY..when he comes over I ask him to choke me while we're PHUCKING missionary. The 2nd pic with the dik is of a cop who texted me yesterday and asked when I was coming back. Look at the time stamp on the top left. The cops there definitely want to get in on making extra American cash.

i usually get there around 5:30PM! and leave around 8:30 or 9:00 at the latest!! i am not a affectionado of drag shows!, so once they come on i usually leave!

@Vanbcanthonythe price varies from $50 - $70. My bf likes grindr and actually we were at pizza hut Saturday night and there was a guy a few feet away from us on grindr who took $40. HE WAS SEXY AF. I have video of our encounter but he's full of tattoos so I won't post that video. The cop actually allowed me to record him fucking me in his uniform, but I'm too afraid to post that video anywhere. Afraid that I could get in trouble with law enforcement there. My hubby and I always take a pic of the guy before we take him back to our place. We tell the guy that we are sending the picture to our friend who loves in Santo domingo so he will know who we are with. My hubby and I are big guys so I think our size kinda deters anyone from trying to harm us. Who knows if that's the case though. But we try to be as safe as possible.

I am heading back to Rio and São Paulo the first week in October. i was last there in May, but now i will be flying from Miami instead of OC airport so a lot shorter flight!
