I like your observation. Unfortunately I have very narrow specific taste they must be 18-22 y.o. ,smooth body ,very slim beautiful face and gentle/polite nature . The frustrating search looking for the boy I like can take some time when I am in Thailand and I find myself couple of nights lonely eventually once the correct boy is found I prefer to stick with him most of my vacation and avoid the endless frustrating Search for short time . Gladly to say that almost every vacation I had in Thailand I managed to find the type I like willing to stay with me long term with the 'boyfreind' illusion experience. This is why I love Thailand so much the magical country where you can fulfill your dreams and desires so easy .

I like very much to visit the islands in the south especially Krabi area , the rainy season can be a turn off for beaches lovers like me so I prefer December to April months for traveling .Actually it is a matter of luck even at the rainy season it is usually hot and might have lots of sunny days and enjoy everything Thailand can offer.the climate in Thailand is unpredictable .

I'm at other end of scale, I like 25-35 , smooth, muscular, rough face and manners but must be smiling in my direction as it indicates some interest , even if fake, talkative is a bonus On another hand I make sure I visit every bar and from time to time as a spice I like to off cute twink , smooth, smile and talkative still applies though

Whatever you do, DO NOT skip Iguazu!!! There is no place like this on earth.

I took this photo myself. It shows you the volume of water flowing when I went a few weeks ago. (Early February).

From The Thaiger Hoteliers asked to issue refunds to Test & Go travellers for Day 5 packages With the government scrapping the Day 5 requirements for Test & Go travellers, more than 2,000 hotels and their partner hospitals or test centres are being asked to refund the costs of a night stay with Covid-19 RT-PCR testing. Under the revised entry requirements, travellers can take a self-administered antigen test instead of a PCR test on the fifth day of their stay and they are no longer required to book a stay at an approved hotel while they wait for the results. The hotels are being asked to voluntarily refund the cost of the room, or at least convert the pre-paid booking into credits. Hoteliers are also being asked to work with their partner hospitals and testing centres to refund the 2,000 baht for a PCR test. The Thai government has said they will not require hoteliers to issue refunds for the Test & Go packages, but an official from the Tourism Authority of Thailand argues that some hoteliers have said they need a legal order from the government as their cancellation policies do not cover the refund. If a full refund isn’t possible, they will be asked to convert the payments into credits, according to TAT’s deputy governor for marketing communications, Siripakorn Cheawsamoot. “The Tourism and Sports Ministry will issue an announcement asking cooperation from hotels to refund the fifth day expense to their guests. This rule is definitely not mandatory. Hotels are encouraged to manage those bookings according to their own cancellation policy. If refund is not possible, they should consider converting payments into credits or vouchers for in-house services or restaurants.”

When I first arrived, back in 1995, I had exactly the same taste as Boy69, but over time, I found my tastes changing. I came to value experience and expertise as much as looks and found that older guys were often more reliable. I can recall thirty year-olds - Thais keep their youthful looks longer than we do- who provided a better service and certainly better company. I liked chatting to them. At the same time, I discovered that the cutest dancers of all, the most popular and in demand in Pattaya's go go bars, may not always "deliver" , particularly if a return to the bar and another customer were in the offing. I hated it when a guy would rush off after his shower. At the same time, I began to insist that my partner was gay....though I accepted that I couldn't expect complete honesty. I met P. in 2005 and he most definitely fitted Boy69's ideal....and mine. We've aged together (him better than me!) and looking at those early photos certainly remind me why I was so attracted to him.

Thailand has two seasons! 1. Hot and Dry. 2. Hot and Wet.

rest assured during Christmas last year crowds of tourists were nowhere to be seen, eye witness here

sure , there's mountain in the middle of the city so we can consider her mountain resort

I would say skip it this time. There is a historic draught that has taken the Parana river to low levels I have never seen in my life. The Iguazy Falls must be just a shadow of what they usually are.

Unfortunately, I think a lot of them want people just like them in office. To quote Blazing Saddles "You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons."

I suggest that you feel out your initial location Rio and make decisions about a third destination while you are there, or even from São Paulo your second location. Rather than commit now and risk being squeezed for time, that passes quickly. While recently there for a few months I made 4 impromptu changes related to location and accommodations. There is always access to spontaneous domestic travel and places to stay, consistent as well with past years. Portuguese fluency would not be very relevant to an itinerary volume. The Falls can be done in a shorter time (ie, 2 days) because the town is not value-added but I would not shorten an excursion to Salvador or Recife to that degree. I recall we needed an Argentine entry document to cross to the Falls’ other side. I highly recommend Pousada Guata Fora, semi-detached chalets, close to the airport and the Brazilian entrance to the park. Great breakfast and optional added buffet dinner so your nutritional needs are quickly accessible without travel into town and allows more time to enjoy the grounds. The venue also facilitated taxi transfers to the Argentine entrance across the border. If your 3 candidates do not pan out I suggest a stopover by bus to or from SP-Rio, in Ubatuba or Paraty, for an appealing small town coastal sightseeing experience. They are not on the express route but can be arranged as separate travel stretches. Bus travel purchase domestically requires passport ID. Easter is April 17th and may be busier and more expensive that weekend.

one of my boys when I complemented him this way said " I'm handsome, girls are beautiful , boys are handsome"

The insurance policy should also cover the whole duration that travellers are planning to stay in Thailand, plus at least 10 extra days as a precautionary measure in the event that the traveller’s second swab test result returns as positive. A proof of prepayment for 1 night of accommodation at government-approved hotel/s; such as, SHA Extra Plus (SHA++) on Day 1, which should also include the expenses for 1 RT-PCR test on Day 1 and 1 Antigen Self-Test Kit (self-ATK) on Day 5.

Travellers with a history of COVID-19 infection who have recovered by medical treatment, and travellers who have received at least 1 dose of an approved vaccine after post-infection must have a certificate of COVID-19 recovery. All travellers must undergo ‘exit screening’ at the point of departure, i.e., at the airline check-in counter and present the required documents to the person-in-charge to carry out the checks. On-Arrival Requirements / During the Stay All travellers must undergo entry screening including body temperature check, and presenting the required documents to the Immigration/Health Control officer to carry out the checks. 1.1 Arrivals by air: Arrivals on a direct flight to Thailand’s international airport: At the point of entry.

Travellers whose test result returns as negative are free to go anywhere in Thailand, but will be provided with 1 Antigen Self-Test Kit for a self-test on Day 5 and be required to report/record the result via the MorChana application or another specified application. Travellers whose test result returns as positive will be referred for appropriate medical treatment in accordance with Thailand’s Communicable Diseases Act B.E. 2558 (2015). The expenses must be covered by the required insurance / own expense for foreign travellers, or national healthcare coverage for Thais and eligible foreign expatriates. Pending on their conditions, they may be medically advised to receive treatment in either hospital hotel isolation or community isolation. During receiving the medical treatment – at least 10 days, they must remain in their accommodation only. They should not leave their accommodation unless utmost necessary, and must notify the Communicable Disease Control officer in-charge. After having recovered from COVID-19, they will receive a medical certificate of recovery. While in Thailand, travellers are advised to strictly follow standard, good personal hygiene practices; such as, wear a mask in public, maintain hand hygiene (washing with soap and water or using hand sanitiser), and keep physical distance of at least 1 metre from others. Travellers who are experiencing COVID-like symptoms should get tested. If testing positive they must get appropriate medical treatment. All travellers must download and install the MorChana application, and set it on at all times for the COVID-19 precautionary measures and to record the self-ATK result on Day 5 in the application. The self-ATK on Day 5 will not be required if the traveller’s length of stay is less than 5 nights, or his/her scheduled international departure date out of Thailand is on Day 5 or before. For example, if the traveller plans to stay in Thailand for 3 days, then he/she does not have to report the self-ATK result, but he/she must leave for another country immediately. However, the traveller may be required to take another test depending on the airline and the final international destination. Guidelines for Domestic/International Departure For domestic departure, travellers must show proof that they have received a negative result for their Day 1 RT-PCR test. For international departure, it is the responsibility of travellers or their organisations to make sure that the travellers meet the requirements of their specific international destination regardless of the point of departure.

I love just walking the streets. I'm pretty sure it won't be close to normal, but after a couple of years cooped up, I just need to go somewhere for my mental health. The few years in the US have been very depressing. Covid and fascists.

I was in Thailand in August, September , October and November ( in different years of course ) and agree with Gaybutton's every word including not even needing an umbrella most times

Visiting Thailand? How about living in Thailand? I can assure you the answer is Go. First, it doesn't rain every day. Second, the rains are only torrential sometimes. Third, when it does rain, it usually lasts 45 minutes to an hour and that's the end of it for that day. Fourth, more often than not the rains occur in the wee hours of the morning. Yes, sometimes it rains hard enough and long enough to cause flooding, but it doesn't happen like that very often. Go to Thailand during rainy season and don't even think about letting that deter you. Most of the time you won't even need an umbrella.
