Well, it is very good to be back in Bangkok after a 7 year hiatus. And good news! The city still smells the same as it always has. I’ve managed to visit two bars in the two free nights I’ve had so far. Dreamboy the first night and moonlight tonight. Dream boys felt a lot like what I remember the bar scene to be in bangkok. A couple dozen boys rotating on stage then the campy show with drag queen, big cock and fucking show. The mamasan kindly suggesting boys for me. I was satisfied with the amount of guys and the variety. But definitely more boy next door than model type. However it was worth my time. I thought the sexiest guy was the blond DJ and I should have asked if he was available. I did off a cute guy who partook in the big cock and fuck show. Very sweet guy. Moonlight however was very disappointing. And I think so because it has so much potential. There were 7 bored but cute but fullly clothed lads on stage. Fine, dreamboys started out this way but they changed into briefs when the show started. Well, moonlights show didn’t feature any of the boys and instead seemingly showcased professional performers? I was confused. The drag queen trans lady was exceptional. She could be drag race quality. I was impressed. The boys who lip synched were very very cute. As well as a sexy bull/matador skit. I was thinking wow this is going to be incredible. The caliber of guys here is top notch! Then the show ended with a bikini pageant with the performers in cute skimpy shorts. And that’s it! I was bummed it didn’t get racy at all. And then they left! To be replaced with the (still cute mind you) bored fully clothed boys. Where did the hotties go? What’s happening? Where is the sex appeal? The fantasy? Just totally let down and bummed. Is moonlight too cool to be camp? To be naughty? What’s going on? So, I’ll check out hotmale tomorrow. I’m trying to be as generous as I can. It’s Covid. It’s (extra) strict Thailand, it’s also shoulder season in a normal year. But Bangkok has lost some of its excitement for sure. I was so pumped to come back. Ready to relive those crazy nights I’ve had in the past here. I’m hoping it’ll be better in the weekend. Dreamboys was a promising start. Moonlight was a big bummer. I’m excited to see the other places. Even if it’s slow. I can totally dig a boy next door type who’s eager and engaging. He doesn’t have to be a stunner. I love the whole atmosphere Bangkok's boy scene used to provide and I’m hoping I can get more of that. I think I’ll check out a massage place but I’m not sure where to start. Masculine big cock guys are my thing. And Thailand provides on that front.

Gym Tells Guests to Stop Having Sex in the Men's Locker Room Where's this gym located? Asking for a friend! By Donald Padgett January 04 2022 1:37 PM EST A gym in West Hollywood has politely reminded patrons their facilities are for pumping iron on the gym floor ONLY. According to a report in The Sword, Twitter user @rossiferrrr shared a picture of a sign he discovered at an unnamed gym with the caption, “Tell me you work at a gay gym without telling me you work at a gym.” @rossiferrrr later deleted the post from Twitter, but the sign still appears in a post to Reddit. “Attention Members,” the sign announced boldly at the top of the flyer. “Please DO NOT HAVE SEX in the Men’s Locker Room! You can have sex *literally* anywhere else, just not at Crunch Fitness. Otherwise, your membership will be immediately revoked. Please keep this safe space for all Crunchers.” Photo by @rossifer Though the original post didn't identify the gym, online users were quick to determine the gym in question was Crunch Fitness in West Hollywood, and Reddit users wasted no time in finding the humor in the situation. “So this is the only way to stop credit card payments on your gym membership when you told them to stop,” noted one commenter. “Nah they’ll keep charging you,” responded another. Another Redditor wondered whether the sign was just “a clever marketing ploy.” “So just have sex in the women’s locker room,” another commenter helpfully observed. If the patrons had hoped to burn some calories as they were engaged in public locker room sex, recent studies have shown they would have been far more effective if they had hopped on a bike instead (clothing optional, of course). A study from the University of Quebec at Montreal entitled “Energy Expenditure during Sexual Activity in Young Healthy Couples” found men burned only 101 calories on average during a 24-minute round of sex compared to a 30-minute session on an exercise bike which burned 276 calories. While the majority of comments to the Reddit post objected to the patron’s alleged locker room sexual escapes, at least one person saw an opportunity. “It’s official,” a Redditor said. “I am joining Crunch Fitness.” https://www.out.com/sex/2022/1/04/gym-tells-guests-stop-having-sex-mens-locker-room?utm_source=advocate.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pubexchange_module

Judging by an artist's conceptions of what the futuristic changes will look like (one of which shows the since razed Dusit Thani Hotel in the background), I think this has been in the works for quite some time. From The Nation Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) on Monday unveiled computer-generated images of Lumpini Park as it will look after an upgrade is completed in 2024, in time for the park’s 100th anniversary in 2025. The images published on Facebook show the new and improved 360-rai (0.57 square kilometres) park, equipped with dedicated bicycle and jogging lanes that connect with nearby Benchakitti Park. All cables and powerlines have also been buried underground to create an unobstructed view of the vast green garden in the heart of Bangkok. Lumpini Park in Pathumwan district has been the green lung of the concrete metropolis since it opened in 1925. Paths that stretch for 2.5km around the park are popular with morning and evening joggers while ornamental lakes surrounded by lawns make perfect picnic spots. The park is open from 4.30am to 9pm and sees 15,000 to 20,000 visitors every day. The improvement project will be divided into three phases, starting with an infrastructure upgrade, said the BMA post. “The second phase will add more facilities and create learning areas, while the third will develop unused areas in the park.” Facilities to be added include the six-storey high Lumpini Corridor that will serve as a new scenic point in Bangkok, seamless paths for wheelchair users, additional parking areas and water retention areas to reduce the chance of floods during rainy season.

Thank you Riobard for your in depth client - procurer - provider dynamic analysis. I merely want to update Manny’s fees as many fellow members here do count on his service while traveling to SD.

I can sit in the BTS. Before I rarely could sit. The number of tourists is far from back to normal. Also sometimes I am the only customer in a massage shop. I was in Ayutthaya today (small group tour). We had the ruins almost for ourselves. The guide said there used to be many tour buses. It is absolutely not full. I like this. Next time it will probably be back to normal. Lucky Boys gogo is closed. They had last time (November 2019) a good selection of twinks. I was the only customer today in Fresh boys. Didn’t like the selection on stage at all. The boys outside (some Vietnamese) were nice but not on stage for some reason. They did have a number on their shirt however

I hope that they don't eliminate the open-air weight-lifting area as part of the 'improvements'!

Day 1 The first leg of my flight was pretty uneventful and calm. Once I arrived at Charles de Gaulle I made a beeline to the new Air France lounge that was just finished in fall 2021. It’s beautiful with a curved outer shell design and a two story layout with multiple sections for food and drinks. I took a quick rinse in one of their complimentary shower cabins and got ready for the long flight ahead. The flight from Paris was okay. The cabin design is pretty outdated in a 2-2-2 configuration and the seat only lets you rest in an angled mode instead of full flat like newer planes. But in true French fashion they made up for it with food and drinks. As expected the cheese and wine were spectacular. After a quick 11 hour in the air it was time to finally land in Rio. On the way to immigration only select passengers were asked to present their Covid documents - which are at this time a PCR test not older than 72 hours or antigen test not older than 24 hours before boarding, a certificate of vaccination and the filled out health form from the Brazilian government. Immigration itself took a minute and after collecting my luggage I was on my way to the hotel. To fill the time until my room was ready I took a stroll to the Ipanema beach nearby which was full of people that day. I was not just struck by the amount of beautiful bodies on display but also that in Brazil people of all ages and shapes aren’t afraid to show skin in public. After my room was finally ready I checked in, took a disco nap and got myself ready for my first visit to Club 117. It was raining in the evening that day and on the way to the Club the Uber driver took multiple wrong turns and even backed into the car behind us. Eventually we made it and I entered a nondescript door of a nondescript building to a place I read so much about. The facilities are well maintained but have a worn patina you can’t overlook. Both main bar areas are smaller than imagined but seemed to get the job done. There was the infamous video room but on that day only Brazilian news was playing. As I made my way to the lockers multiple boys in towels came up to me, introduced themselves and tried to make a sale on the spot. One mid 20s young Bodybuilder type with a shaved head opened his towel inviting me to touch where I want. One athletic boy asked me to squeeze his ass when he learned what I was into. Knowing the cardinal rule of never going with the first guy that talks to you I headed to the bar to get a Caipirinha and settled down. After a couple of chats and a small make out session with various boys the young bodybuilder came to me again and asked to sit down. I offered him a drink and we started chatting. He is 26 as marked by a tattoo of his birth year contouring his left biceps. He traveled to Europe before to meet clients. Chatting turned into more and he had full and juicy lips perfect for kissing. We soon agreed on 150 with gozar and off we went to get a room. Sidebar: on this forum Club 117 is described as having rooms as nice as hotel rooms. Maybe this was true in the past but in 2022 that is definitely not the case anymore. Adjust your expectations accordingly. In the room Paulo got rid of his towel and gave me an impromptu muscle show, flexing all that he had, asking me to count his abs, turning around showing me his ample ass covered in a peachy fuzz. We continued making out passionately. Soon we made it onto the bed and explored each other’s body. I made sure to give extra attention to his hole and he took it like a champ. We then did the deed and cuddled a bit before going to the lockers for me to pay him. All in all I had fun with him but in the interest of keeping it real I would not go with him again. On the plus side he is deliciously hard bodied, easy to talk and speaks English well. However he had to spit in between giving oral which is kinda a turn off and most importantly he did not cum even though that was agreed. I find it kinda demeaning forcing guys to cum even if they do not want to and not in a kinky way so I didn’t insist. I also understand that GPs are real human beings with wants and needs so I am not harboring any negative feeling on the session. It’s all good just not a repeat. (I am wondering what forum veterans would have done in this situation? Withhold money?) Soon after saying goodbyes I settled my bill (161 BRL for entry, two caipirinhas and two boy drinks) and left to head back to the hotel. Jetlag was finally catching up to me. Next day a visit to Point 202.

according to my experience during previous stay with them, it took almost 12-13 hours the result to come back. and i was afraid i wouldnt have been able to go out tonight if i were supposed to be swabbed at 11:00 am. the fast track option took only 2 hours.

Nobody is forced to use a procurer. All this exchange indicates is a finder fee of $25 that could, for example, amount to $5 per encounter if the escort goes ‘off grid’ for you an additional 4 times. There is no explicit rule against that model and every reason for the procurer to set an arbitrary fee according to the degree to which it is stretched out by a continuum of direct punter-escort negotiations over which the procurer has no control. If you go to a millinery shop and commit to one new hat per month it would make sense that the business model might differ compared to solely one annual Easter bonnet. You can drive both yourself and the proprietor crazy if you start a Facebook group dedicated to discussing prices among whatever customers are willing to join. There’s an inevitable range of input, from braggadocio over getting a good deal to lamentation about feeling cheated or gaslit. One always has the option to fashion roses out of Kleenex. To the point of where the escort fee cash ends up, my view is that is between the procurer and provider. The overall dynamic seems to be one of mutual distrust: client hypervigilance about upsell concomitant with procurer assumption his cut will always be potentially diluted by removing his middle-man status. If you want to figure out a truly invariant and appealing cost-savings charge in a stalemate context as complex as that in a country oriented to sex tourism, good luck with that. But who am I to stop braiding each other’s hair while comparing and contrasting prices? I don’t know for a fact that the same interactions never occur(red) for the trifecta of streetwalker call-girls, pimps, and johns as stereotypically characterized as we view it. Perhaps an elaborate board discussion and sharing of fees rendered will put an inquirer further ahead in what steps to take next. This forum, overall, is abysmally impoverished when it comes to the topic of commercial sex work pricepoints. Please sir, more.

Thai health officials last month predicted that new Covid cases would begin to decline in mid-March and that seems to be what's happening. Today 21,382 new cases were reported, continuing a downward trend that began several days ago. Although this doesn't mean things cannot still revert, it's encouraging for those of us who hope to arrive by mid-year.

apparently, there are some changes as how things are being done at Center Point Silom now. On my December 2021 trip, i was swabbed immediately once the check in was done despite my pretty late arrival. it was around 12:30 - 1 am. everything was ready in anticipation (including check in paper, documents for my PCR test etc.) The airport pick up was with a benz and the driver in white gloves. The result came on the next day around 2:00 pm if i remember correctly. That package included 3 meals (though I ended up checking out once I got the result). This time, the airport pick up was by a very tired van with some serious injuries on its seats. i arrived at the hotel around 7:30 am, check in was a breeze, but i was told that i was going to be swabbed at 11:00 am (that would have been more than 3 hours after my check in). When I inquired, they said they had a fast track option for 2500 bhat. I am glad I chose it. the result came back within two hours. The package came with only one meal. nothing to complain about, but just some comparisons.

Seems that midnight is now ok for closing.

Country Boy 2 trailer is out

I dropped in on my final night in Bogota, three weeks ago. I actually arrived early as I was in the neighbourhood. The bar is operating back to normal -- many new dancers in the roster along with the ones from the website. The early evening is a popular pre-game for groups of friends looking to meet up before clubbing. That goes until about 11:00pm. After that, wave number two consists of those looking for trade or catch the sex shows. The dancers were very open about soliciting dates after the club closes at 2am. Many in the crowd make their way over from Dark Club (a block away) to catch last call and maybe pick up some dessert to take home.

Maybe something got lost in the chronology, but I'd have to venture that these last few hours as I wait for my delayed flight at SDQ are to be my last in the RD, except maybe in the airspace on the way to Brazil. I really do like Brazil, or really Rio I should say, or really Carioca men I should say...I have not been there since the pandemic, I miss it and I plan on going in summer/their winter. I does concern me that out of maybe 20 Brazilians I've met in other countries in the past year, all save 1 have said that Brazil has become significantly ever more dangerous even since the pandemic. Not really sure what to do with that information.

I would contentedly put out 10,000 DOP for what you described, in terms of what the provider gets, but I am not sure I would have the skills and stamina for the arranging!
