Guys I'm leaving Cebu today and heading to Manila Can anyone give me the link to the gay tour guide advertising here for Manila ,I will book him this week on a night tour . My impression of Cebu ,it has different infrastructure, big shopping mall looks like royal garden in Pattaya , just the crazy traffic here and many areas lack of footpaths . There are many old farangs here, I have no idea what they get up to,however yesterday I went to Ocean World which is a big aquarium and had a wonderful time. I have my opinion that Philippines is the Land of shopping malls,they the Filipinos luv shopping malls and eating fast food ,to me Cebu is expensive in terms of buying food as they all seem fast food chains here but yes you can buy street food too. I gathered by the taxi driver that Cebu is more for diving, snorkeling etc and I'm not Into that So next time if I was travelling I wouldn't travel with my Filipino bf again,Better to be by yourself so you can meet guys rather than have someone tag along with you ,I sent him out by himself to the disco the other night just so I could meet guys alone on Grindr. Total guys I/we met over the last 3 days were 5 guys free Just about to check out of our hotel now and Grindr is still going berserk. Would I come back ? Possible,but maybe just a few days as there is nothing for me to see here , and if I did it would be alone and I could meet (free) guys in the street and shopping malls etc I'm 62 so if I can meet guys for free you can. I guess also I would do more " research" into Cebu before so I can plan where to go. So meeting guys is grinder mostly . Its more expensive than Pattaya here I'm Cebu in terms of hotels although i guess if I don't my reset I could find cheaper hotels The place is crowded everywhere,shopping malls ,fast food restaurants etc,I have yet to see genuine poverty here in Cebu it even Davao ,not one person has asked me for money . Taxis are plentiful here in Cebu. I don't think I would come back though , I can't really see what the attraction is for these farangs living here ? Anyway I'm off to Manila tonight I think that will be better Last night I sent my bf outside and Grindr was pumping ,I always put in my profile No Money Boys . And then I confirm it with them if they want to visit, had a 27yo guy last night,looked younger ,he topped me , biggest dick I have ever seen , I had to send him countless messages to confirm he didn't want payment but he didn't ,he was a personal trainer at fitness first so didn't need money,no idea why he wanted to fuck old guy like me ,but lunchtime is the busiest on Grindr here in Cebu, bisexual straight guys in their lunchbteak want to be sucked off .

I agree with Deputy Boonma at least in little-used part, it's still nice walk though but partially over smelly canal so hopefully they clean or drain it too. Walking from Lumpini on the left close to walking bridge is interesting Holy Redeemer Catholic church, if not cross atop it could be easily taken for Thai style Buddhist temple

Another version from Albert Camus - "Ce n'etait ni vrai ni faux, c'etait vecu", translation to English: it's neither true nor false, it's how I remember it.

Well arrived Manila last night 830pn, taxi queue was a mile long all unorganised of course ,nothing like Bangkok. I booked a hotel on the app , all seem very expensive here in Manila compared to Bangkok. One thing I found out is never think it's the hotels advertised price. Agoda says a hotel is 2100 pesos a night ,then you click it on then they add taxes , admin fee etc it becomes 1000 pesos more by the time you go to the payment page !! So anyway ended up paying 3100 pesos for a 3 star in Malati , expensive Manila ! Actually I'm starting to appreciate Bangkok far far more after being here in Manila and seeing it's disorganisation So me and bf decided to walk away from airport, into a nearby street and to be greeted by touts " where you go ,where you go? Ended up paying 500 pesos to malate ! Had to, no taxis available and grab too busy Grab qouted 455 so not much difference but this place compared to Bangkok is expensive. Our hotel 1970's style which is in centre of malate would be around the 2000.baht mark in Bangkok ,here in malate with taxes,vat, admin fees, Agoda fees etc came to 3200 pesos a night ! Maybe during the week the qouted from apps such as Agoda go down. Now one thing I should of learnt by now is .....never book a hotel more than one night , I always see what it's like the first night ,but this time I didn't and booked 2 nights only to see the Agoda app drop the price to 2000 pesos tonight ! Anyway guys sorry for being so negative this post ,I will see how Manila goes in the next few days,it's not my cup of tea at the moment. In fact I probably prefer my old stomping ground of Thailand but that may change as I wander Manila I'm staying Manila bay area Now sorry to sound so negative about experiences just I'm used to Thailand. My Filipino bf has told me to angry last night to stop complaining and whinging & accept that this country is more aggressive style and I would say more expensive than Thailand but anyway it's a experience I guess , Anyway arrived hotel last night my bf was angry or fed up I was whinging/ complaining a lot so went to bed as soon as we arrived I will see today it's about 7am right now so I'm heading off into Manila city I just hate it when companies like Agoda add all these taxes etc,they don't do this in Thailand. But anyway today I will stop being so negative , this country is making me one of those whinging old men 😂😂 ...to be continued

"Doctor, tell me, if I quit drinking will, will I live longer?" "It will definitely feel longer. "

Just sitting in my hotel lobby waiting for my taxi to the airport 500 pesos I think Filipino money is equivalent to Thai baht They let me check out late for no additional cost.at 2pm I last had free sex guy 27yo at 1230pm today in my room. Got him off grinder ,said im checking out at 2pm he said I'm a electrician in the area and I can come around and light your spark I'm near your hotel now Sucked his dick, he was clearly married, obviously doesn't tell his wife , anyway 27yo boyish face, lean brown skin fit tradie body , but cock too big ,I wasn't going to risk the noise as I heard cleaning staff outside my room giggling. 15 minutes into it he had blown his load and I refused his unloading in my mouth, he answered I presume a electrical customer call whilst he was getting dressed and flew off quickly obviously ashamed at himself 😅 So now 6 guys sucked over 3 days if there was no sex here on Cebu it would if been boring . I have to stop asking ,are you moneyboy? Are you moneyboy? Everyone on grindr I'm asking this question and getting boys replying back that they are offended ! Some even go into detail, " you have asked me that 4 times ! " I don't need your money Sir !! this is to guys with huge dicks & abs I'm replying back to me ? But...but . Why would you want me Im thinking a chubby granddaddy? But this was here in Cebu & Davao, doubt if it will be like that in Manila ? But I ask them repeatedly because I'm so used to money for eg money boys in thailand.....i can't understand why these young hunks in Cebu want to fuck me for free ? There are some negative to free sex I have found out , you have to find guys , either in apps or walk around and talk to guys working in shops etc it's a lot of work hunting !!! Secondly you can't ask for exactly what you want eg if I want my butt slapped I can't ask a free grinder guy would he do that ? Can U slap my left butt cheek for example like I can with a money boy Anyway today I was in Anytime fitness in Cebu I'm on the treadmill logged onto grinder there are like 12 exercise bikes at the back of me all full., I get a Grindr message from a blank grinder profile " nice ass cheeks Daddy " I look behind me , I see all bikes full and no one really looking at me 😅👍 I think rather than have guys clinging onto you everyday you better to hire a day or night tour from Siam Roads gay tours to get to know the area so your confidence to be by yourself hunting for either free sex or gayy4pay boys . I mean you might want a clingy guy to be with you everyday and you can find that here but I prefer to be by myself, I made the mistake of meeting up with my Filipino Aussie bf and he doesn't like walking as it's too hot etc and doesn't like what I like looking at ,eg artitechure and Asian boys etc .. he likes casinos and farang guys like that better to come alone and you can do what you want when you want and have better chance of meeting guys alone ! Just hire a tour guide for a few days if your not confident

Guys I'm off to Manila tonight just checking out of my hotel here in Cebu . My plans this week to book the tour guide in Manila if he is at. I should of booked the Cebu Siam tour guide I guess rather than wander around aimlessly. Cebu is ok it reminds me of the Gold coast Australia, except there are no nice beaches I can see directly around . I probably won't come back to Cebu. Things I would do differently are do my research first , I do like casinos so there are a few big ones here full of Chinese & Koreans , attractions here are ocean world marina,shopping malls ,nothing to really excite me. I probably would stay in a less price hotel ,you can get decent 3 star here for around 1200 pesos a night not as cheap nor good quality as in Thailand for that price though,here I'm paying average 2500 pesos per night around 2000 baht a night I guess in Thai money But as I said I think Pattaya still wins over Cebu for me except there's unlimited free sex here in Cebu. But guys if I done my research better or even went with that tour guide from Siam roads I would probably enjoy it more because I would have more knowledge . Anyway I'm off to Manila then to Angeles City

I hate it when I do not understand a joke.

Manila is extremely busy, you have to get used to it, I can't say it's like Bangkok though Filipino people seem to be more aggressive in their approach, they push their way into buses & SkyTrain etc . They don't seem to be as placid as Thai people , you could easily upset these people I find ,they aren't as friendly or relaxed as Thai people. But it doesn't stop me from looking at the passing eye candy in the street, I have noticed the boys dress very nice clean t-shirts etc I like Manila , I feel relatively safe,no one has been aggressive to me except the taxi touts at the Manila airport..but next time I will know to book a car before I arrive. But Bangkok beats Manila for most things ,it's hard to get taxis here in Manila they don't want to use their Meter because of traffic

Although not an American, viewing from afar I have to agree. I also think certain parts of the electoral system and the Constitution should be reviewed - at least from time to time. For example, why is it necessary to have such a huge gap between the declaration of the winner in a general election and the assumption of power? Clearly it was necessary 200+ years ago when travel was by buggy and it took States time to gather all the votes and then declare a winner in the electoral college. Then it took more time to get all those votes/electors from the west coast to Washington before they could all be certified by Congress. But we don't live in the 18th century. In many developed countries vote counts take hours rather than days or weeks and often, as in the UK, the loser moves out of the official residence in Downing Street only a day or so after the vote. When this takes more than 2 months, you end up with Trump and any other future President who is determined to use everything avaiable to him and much else to contest votes and remain in office illegally. Oh, I know there were the hanging chad shenanigans in 2000. Had there been a sensible and obvious voting system in place in Florida that would not have happened IMHO! The Constitution is often held up as an example of how prescient and great the framers were. Again I have to ask: how is it that what was seen as right and proper centuries ago remains so today? Did the framers really want their country to be overrun by guns and gun violence as it is today? Did they envisage the vast social changes that would engulf the world after World War II? Granted they were not always in agreement and there were major differences of opinion back then. But did they foresee the near total gridlock that now exists in Washington? Did they foresee a supremely political Supreme Court which, from those viewing from afar, seems to have two sex offenders on the bench, both put on the Court primarily for political reasons? Why did they determine that Justices would serve for life? With the vast majority of the population now having to retire at a certain age, why not those on the Supreme Court? Similarly with Congress? Just questions for discussion. The UK has its own set of major problems as do other countries. But US democracy in particular seems rooted in a period centuries ago with those in power determined not to enact what seem like necessary changes to bring it into the 21st century.

(part 8 ) Back in Hanoi, I encountered a similar problem with a newly opened gay massage parlor a few years ago. The owner also applied a rotation system to make sure his masseurs all have customers, so he told me I was not allowed to pick. When I turned around to leave, he immediately gave in "ok, you can choose." So I marched into the M star shop around 8h30 pm (not sure if it's peak time though), trying to look aggressive (and failing completely). I prefaced my request with "My friend said that you guys don't allow customers to choose masseur, but..." The masseur standing at the door cut in before I finished my sentence "You can, you can". Just like that. I had expected a fight! So @flashbarryallen just be assertive if you need to. Guy at the door also told me the minimum tip for normal no-sex massage is 100. Any extra services, I should discuss with the guy once we are in the room. So I picked my boyish masseur, who's 27, paid 500B for 1-hour aroma oil massage and proceeded to the fourth floor for my session. Once inside the room, I started price discussion right away, as I usually do, to make sure no problems or misunderstanding at the end. Unfortunately, the kid's English was extremely limited so after a while, mostly with help of Google translation, I figured that minimum tip for no-sex massage is 200 (not consistent with what Guy at the door told me). If I want him to take off his clothes while providing the service so I can touch, that would be 1000. If I want to suck his dick, that would be 1500. He's man, so he wouldn't do anything else. 1500? I repeated and just looked at him. He quickly lowered his asking price 1300 ok? I do saloh saloh massage ok? What the hell does "saloh saloh" mean? I asked him in a more polite language. He tried to explain in vain, then kept saying sorry for his limited English. Looking the kid's very agitated face (he was obviously uncomfortable with haggling), I kinda felt bad so I didn't bother with further negotiation. If it means that much to him. The massage turned out to be much better than I expected. Kid had good techniques, his touch was quite sensual and one hour flied by quickly. The only thing that irked me a bit is that he kept saying "saloh saloh" during the whole session and I still couldn't figure out what he meant. Anyway, satisfied, I gave Kid 1500 and he bent over so low (almost to a kneeling position) to thank me, like I were Royalty or something. If only he bent over like that during the session I might have doubled my tip. When I walked down the stairs to the ground floor, he led the way and again kept saying "saloh saloh" and I finally got it. He meant "slow, slow," (take your time). The next day, I started my evening in Banana Room outside. Bought a drink for one host who spoke decent English (again, he used to have an American boyfriend for about a year so no surprises here) and got some intel. Banana Room actually has three bars. Downstairs, the outside bar serves as a beer bar (my soft drink 80B, in line with other bars in the soi), the inside bar - as a go-go (when I moved inside I had to buy a new drink at 350B). The bars downstairs close at midnight, at which they start the upstairs one that stays open until 4 am. Host showed me videos of the upstairs bar. It was pretty roomy and packed with customers, DJ station-level packed. Looks like this is the cash cow for Banana Room (owner is straight Thai with a wife) as I didn't much activities in both bars downstairs during my last two visits. So outside downstairs, they currently have 4 hosts (3 from Laos and 1 from Myanmar, 3 gays and 1 straight). Unfortunately the cutest one, a Laotian, that I would off is straight. He had a girlfriend and wasn't allowed (by his girlfriend?) to go with customers, Host told me. But in my previous visit, I saw that boy in underwear standing on the stage inside as a go-go boy. Sometimes, when there were too few boys inside, boss would ask him to double as a go-go so the stage would look less empty. Host explained. So does he go with customers when he's inside? Nobody knows. Or, probably, everyone knows but his girlfriend doesn't. Inside downstairs, they have around 10 go-go staff. Host admitted that they didn't have the strongest cast in the soi and some boys never had any customers since they worked there. Then why they kept coming back? Because boss paid each 200 per night just for showing up. Host said he himself gets paid 8000 per month and for that salary, he starts his work at 3 pm, serving in the outside downstairs bar until mid night, then moving upstairs to continue working as bartender until 4am. That means 14 hours a day for 8000 a month. It doesn't seem fair even though he can stay for free in the bar. He said he went to bed at 6am and when he wakes up, it's time to start his work again. That grueling schedule also means he can go with customers on his off days only. He also earned tips from the bartender gig, but usually just around 100-120B per night. That was enough to cover his food expenses. This trip, I finally come to terms with the fact that it's much harder for me to find cute twinks who can bottom in Bangkok bars than in Pattaya. I think some members in this board also draw the same conclusions (app is a different story though). Most boys of my type in Bangkok go-gos turned out straight. Out of two dozen boys currently in Fresh Boys, only 5, according to a mamasan, who rattled off their numbers and I duly took note (No 1, 8, 14, 24 and 29) are gay and can do anything. But I like number 26 and 28, both of whom aren't willing to do much. Not even kissing or sucking, which wouldn't do for a top like me. My last day in Bangkok before returning to Pattaya, where I usually stay for much longer, I decided to revisit Dream Boy. Mamasan, who helped me with offing a boy last time (no 75, very cute, but straight and dud in bed) and got tipped accordingly, was very happy to see me. "We have some new boys you can have a look". Another mamasan, who had seen me on and off the soil for the whole last month, said "You never go home?" Actually I did but I came back. So I sat down, and Mamasan pointed out the new ones (they currently have between 30 and 40 boys, the most of any Bangkok go-gos, I guess). No 26 immediately caught my eyes. I also like No 45. I asked mamasan what No 26 is willing to do. He wasn't sure so he scampered off to ask, then came back with a big smile: he's gay and can do anything. I asked for Boy to sit with me. 22, fresh from Chiang Mai, just been here for a week. 3 customers so far, not bad for one week (then he added: including you - good, he already counted me as a customer). He also advertised on Hornet but no catch yet. I asked to see his Hornet's pictures and I think I can see why: the camera must hate the kid. In fact, I saw his pictures a couple of times before but didn't think much of it. Even his body looks worse in those. In person, he got my attention right off the bat with that toned body, boyish face and that little shy smile. I told him: you should change your pictures. Take a picture with smiles. You have a nice smile, show it so customers would find you more attractive (gosh I sound like a pimp). I later checked his Hornet again, kid did change his pictures but still no smiling ones. Since he's gay and versatile (he told me he and his ex-bf back in Chiang Mai took turns to top each other), I asked him which boys currently on stage he would pick. If he also picks No 45, I don't know what I would do (maybe the obvious - as my professor in orgy-ology @vinapu would say). But he picked no 24. Damned, so no threesome this time (my other professor in modesty @reader would feel so relieved). So like the Phnom Peng trip (reported in parts 5 to 7), my Bangkok trip also ended in a decent note. It looks like I finally had some luck with offing boys from bar. I would rank it my third best on this trip. The other two were from the apps. My second best is an 19 years old boy from Isan, in Bangkok to study (he told me). He used to work part-time in a restaurant, lost his job due to Covid, never worked in a boy bar before. We chatted on Grindr, he seems nice and very accommodating, answering all the questions without attitude. Asked for 2000 then agreed with 1500. So I told him to come to my hotel. I didn't know that at that point jason1975 was doing more or less the same thing, in the same hotel (just different floor). I got lazy so I copied his narration Anyway, I could tell that the boy was really into me. He was all over me the moment I closed the door. He kept giggling and holding my face with both hands, saying "you are nice". After sex, we cuddled a little and a couple of times I tried to get up (it was time for me to hit the gym), he held me back for a few more minutes. When I gave him the money (the agreed amount + 200B for travel), he said in his broken English: "I like you but not as customer" hehe, so we are like brothers with benefits now? My best is a boy, also from Chiang Mai, who stopped in Bangkok just for one night on his way home. He stayed in Quarter in Soil 6 a few hundreds meters from my own hotel, so we kinda "ran into" each other on Hornet. He only asked for 1000 so there was no haggling. Since he's so close, I asked to meet him in person and he, not just met, but took me directly to his room. I didn't expect this, nor did I expect the sex would be so... inspiring in a so tiny room It all happened less than 30 min from the point we started chatting. I asked him when he would leave Bangkok, thinking for an immediate repeat the next day (I rarely do this) but he said he will fly out early the next morning. Since he said the Quarter room cost him 1500, I gave him all the pocket money I had on me at that point (1800B). I walked from my hotel to his in my shorts, sleeveless T-shirt, slippers, bringing no wallet, condoms or lubes, thinking I would just see if he really looks like his picture (to be continued)

A computer rendering of the proposed ‘Green Bridge Photo: Urban Design and Development Center From Bangkok Post and Coconuts Bangkok Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed relevant agencies to expedite the further development of Benjakitti Forest Park ahead of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit the Queen Mother's birthday celebrations on Aug 12. He issued the instruction at a meeting to discuss the renovation of the "green" bridge which connects Benjakitti and Lumpini parks, which was attended by Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt, as well as officials from the Mass Rapid Transit Authority (MRTA) and Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTSC). The meeting discussed a number of issues, including improvements to public transport connections, pavements along the route, as well as parking spaces for visitors. Once finished, the 1.6-kilometre link will feature an elevated park, dedicated bike lanes and rest stops for visitors, according to its blueprint. The bridge is slated to reopen in September. The same team behind the elevated greenway mini park that opened last year above the Chao Phraya River have unveiled plans for the “Bangkok Green Bridge,” an upgraded version of a raised path used by walkers, joggers and young footballers that was built two decades ago. When finished, the Green Bridge will have added lighting and security cameras to improve safety, according to the Urban Design and Development Center. The 1.3-kilometer pedestrian bridge links Lumphini Park at Sarasin Intersection to Benjakitti Park in the Khlong Toei district. Three spots will be beautified along the walkway – at Sarasin Intersection and the walkways spanning the Chalerm Maha Nakhon Expressway and Ratchadapisek Road. Deputy Bangkok Gov. Sakchai Boonma described the existing bridge as little-used and crime-prone at night, though on a regular day it can be quite crowded.

I love it when I am overestimated. Now, if you think you helped to clear out my lack of understanding, you are very wrong. However, I think the OP sent me a PM I have not yet read. Hasta la vista!

I know that you are a South America focused guy Latbear4blk, but I am amazed that you do not know of the Sawatdee Network forum. The grandaddy of all the gay whore-monger forums, sadly now reduced to a shadow of its former self. Discretion precludes me from elucidating further, but suffice to say that if the current owner there had been out in his predecessors time, he would likely have been on the side of Pharoah....

What country likes immigrants with a sense of entitlement?

Yes, the office of El Alcaldia includes a tourism office on the main floor. The Alcadia is located at the corner of San Juan (Calle 44) and Cra 54. The building is set back from the street, but the architecture is noticeable as the build has a slanted front. The main entrance is accessible via el Parque de libertad. Note: I did not ask, but no one offered service in English so be prepared to practice your español. Their online list of tourism materials can be found at https://www.medellin.gov.co/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fMunicipioMedellin!2fPCM!2fadmin!2fEFP!2fiViews!2fprtMedellin!2fcabecera The official tourism website of the Alcaldia is here (spanish only) https://www.medellin.travel/

Locals would sign a contract at a different rate, hence not 50/60 dollars per month.

It will be a good early morning walk (for the early birds that work on their fitness), rather than two laps of Lumphini it would be one full lap including Benjakitti. Yes just need to clean up that canal.

Looks likely to be one hell of a party planned, just wish I was there Tonight (17th and tomorrow 18th I believe) Would love to hear any reports if any of you drop by? https://www.facebook.com/Athomebarjomtien https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=3101524343398308&set=pcb.3101526123398130 It would seem that other bars in the complex are joining, these are from JQK Bar,

I certainly wouldn't call that horrible! I might go at that time, then.

I think the supreme court should be reconsidered.

I have not stayed in an AirBnB in BKK as I have found the hotels to be as good value for a week/ 2 week stay. I do like having the option of a kitchen and washing machine, but it is so cheap to eat out, that as long as the hotel room has a fridge i can use to keep beer cold then I find i don't use the kitchen anyway. I have stayed in AirBnBs in Chiang Mai which are fantastic value and much larger spaces than in BKK. These places often have "security" at the gate but they have never even raised their head when I walk in - let alone if I walk in with a boy! I did stay in one place in Chiang Mai that had a notice up in the lobby about not allowing short term rentals via AirBnb. This was clearly not monitored at all as there were large numbers of guests in the lobby with suitcases coming and going all the time. I didn't know about the no AirBnB when I booked it and there were no reviews to suggest that there was an issue with short term lets. So, it seems that some places do have "restrictions" in place but probably not monitored in any way. I would certainly back up the advice here to thoroughly check the reviews that have been posted. In my research - utilities tend to be included for short rental periods (up to two weeks) but for extended times utilities are often charged extra but not always. Pattaya, which i have been looking at quite a bit recently seems particularly keen on this - month long stays utilities are charged on top, electricity especially. On the whole though, I find hotels so cheap in Thailand that the potential saving on AirBnb is much less attractive. And there are a selection of hotel options that are really like serviced apartments and have the extra services included.

I’ve been using Airbnb for the past 10 years. My trips are more than a month. Stays over 30 days are legal. Stays less than 30 days tolerated. Some places won’t accept less than 30 days. It’s up to management. Police don’t get involved. Most rentals include utilities and now more and more places are getting smart tv’s which is a nice touch. I like having separate bedroom..putting clothes into the washer in my kitchen isn’t much of a chore. Cleaning can be an issue. Most condo owners have a cleaning person. Every 2-3 weeks I’ll have someone come in and do a heavy clean. I pay $15. Place I usually stay has security guy and he could care less who you bring back. I get swimming pool to myself during work hours as most residents are at work. If I was only staying a week or two, I’d probably stay in a hotel. For me Airbnb works best, I only stay in a hotel on my arrival night , which is usually around midnight.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. The time I went Spartacus was closed and it's smaller version Papi Chulo was open which was ok but I believe Spartacus is open now. I went to PV for soley sex 😅 But i think you should divide PV into two aspects 'Action' and 'Party Scene'. One thing that suprises me is that a place like PV do not have many providers. What I mean is that they do not have anything formal like rentmen. I did managed to get 2 from milerotic and they were good. People here suggested to use grindr, I found a really handsome 'massuer', loved the session but he could not get hard but he was very sweet. Other avenue that people suggested is to ask the dancer boys in the bars like Anthropology and Wet dreams. I liked Anthropology more. Had some fun in the 'private dance session' with some dancers and I took some numbers but when I contacted them for later fun either some didn't reply or did not offer to top. I have heard some of them are students, so maybe they are busy during the day. So action wise, it is a bit of struggle but not much. The only reason I say this is because PV is known as gay heaven but I feel Brazil or Spain (Barcelona specifically) are more easier for sex. The turkish massage place was AMAZING!! I went there twice. But for rest of the fun gay stuff like bar hopping, boat rides, eating places, massages it's great. If you go to PV with a balanced approach like some action and some party scene fun, you will love it. I will definity love to return to PV to party and get massages. But I would like to mention, the experience also depends on the individual.

In Cuba , they are super strict about registering whoever stays with you overnight...some even with an afternoon "visitor", depedning on the owner and the noisy/jealous neighbors. The difference, the government tracks these things....if a guy is flagged as being a "guest" very often in a hotel or casa particular, they are called in for questioning or picked up for being a prostitute.....

you are right , I had them asking for taxi on such short distances like Moonlight to Tarntawan or Tawan to Chong Nonsi BTS. On another hand I once took 30 seconds trip on motorsai taxi from Senso to Silom but it was for fun, he just stopped there to unload somebody and I asked " how much to Silom ?" , 20, ok

My Flipino BF tells me that the reason a lot of Malls are so packed is that as it's so overpoweringly hot there people go to Malls for the (free) aircon ! This based on the fact that it's much more pleasant to spend the afternoon sitting there or walking around a Mall than it is to sit at home either sweating it out or having to spend money running an expensive home Ac machine. Likewise re the fancy cars I know even from watching his family and friends that Flipinos ( or actually most Asians it seems!?) having fancy cars definitely does NOT mean they are rich or have a lot of money. In my experience they buy the biggest car they (cant) afford just to be "seen" in it and so that they can LOOK like they have money and a great lifestyle to show off to their friends - whereas in reality they maybe hardly having enough money to put petrol in the bloody thing !! Shallow ( as I've pointed out to him, but he and they see nothing wrong with showing off ( what you dont have !)

The people from the Visayan region, where you currently are, are known for being friendly and charming. I live in Sydney now but my best friend was born from that area. It's so typical of Pinoys (the Filipinos) to have preference for white men. I was 22 when I migrated to Sydney and all of my sexual encounters have been with white men and who are at least 15 years older than me. Actually most of my Pinoy friends (with a few exceptions) only prefer white men too. I'm enjoying your report. Make the most of it and if you can find a place where most students hang out, it'd be your Disneyland! Pinoys claim to be very religious and have good morals but offer them a blowjob and all of that go out to the window, lol..

I won't be surprised if some of these jockstraps can be opened from the front!

Just popped in around 11:30 tonight and can verify that location change hasn't impacted bar much. It was so full that I couldn't even get a seat. Overjoyed to report a few guys still sporting jockstraps which I believe leads to clientele staying long after show has finished.

I can live with that, I definitely can as professor or janitor ? I , for one , had fun reading it and no I'm not offended at all. About reader , if that was him , I let him have a word if he chooses to. There are few who frequent that bar regularly and not necessarily they must he heard from on this forum so don't assume he was one from us here . I 'm not fun fan of boys showing our pictures to other patrons but realize not much can be done about that and we can be guilty of the same sin from time to time. with all fun I have reading your report I must say that posting picture of two guys eating in front of 7/11 with faces visible and identifying them as bar boys from Fresh Boys crossed the line. I don't think it should be done in the open forum IMNSHO

I think the boys of HotMale downstairs and stories of this forum exchanged there will need a whole separate thread soon. I have @jason1975to thank for introducing me to the guys of this place. I'm doing everything I can to keep chaste eyes when it comes to Alex. He and I always have nice chats, though. There's a new Lao guy who has either joined the team already or will be starting soon. I can tell he will be popular, especially with his good beginning level of English, and for mostly non-farang, love of kpop. I was surprised how knowledgeable he was on earlier waves of kpop and enjoyed my conversation with him on the topic.

(part 7) We stayed and danced a bit in Heart of Darkness until 12.30 am (they even played some Vietnamese pop music mixed with Khmer and Chinese songs). Then we tuk-tuked back to A&P. I gave Guide his money plus 10% tip and he was on his way. Dancer looked surprised. He thought Guide was gonna stay with us. What did he expect of three of us doing together anyway? Guide provides guidance on how the f*cking should go for the two remaining lads? It looked like some messages were lost in translation again. Since Dancer looked a bit uncomfortable, I asked if he wanted to leave. No, he can stay. So my Phnom Peng's short trip ended on a good note. I'm so glad I reached out to Dancer. We had a good time (I gave him the same amount I gave the waiter boy 50$ for ST), his body is that of a dancer: very firm, virtually no excess fat, with the kind of lean muscles you normally don't get through gym training (he told me he doesn't go to gym, just dance training and performance). His ties to Vietnam are fairly strong too. He had stayed in a relationship with a Vietnamese guy who went to Cambodia to work for almost 4 years then the latter broke up with him and came back to Vietnam to get married. Sad but pretty common (sometimes even expected) endings for gay couples in Vietnam. Dancer said he noticed me when we were in POC that night. He asked Guide where I am from and Guide, obviously lying through his teeth, told Dancer he doesn't know (can't figure out why he lied anyway). So "I feel so good when I found out you are from Vietnam too," Dancer later told me. There was something else. Guide told me Dancer worked in Toolbox way longer than he did so the former must be so used to taking customers, but Dancer told me no way, he was there to dance only because he was in an exclusive relationship with his Viet boyfriend at the time. I asked Guide if he actually saw Dancer going with customers back in Toolbox, he said no, "But I know everything. I used to work in the bar so I know about the situation." Well, the usual "he said, he said" case so I don't know who to believe, not that it matters anyway. Dancer gave me a piece of intel: he is going to move to Thailand to work as a dancer in a new gay bar his former boss, Toolbox's owner, plans to open in Boyztown, Pattaya and it may happen as soon as this coming July. So guys, brace yourself The only note of regret is that I didn't have a chance to check out outdoor cruising venues (if any) as ChristianPFC reported some interesting encounter he had in Wat Botum park. Guide told me he's not aware of any such places in Phnom Peng, but now I've learned enough to NOT trust Guide's sources. Speaking of outdoor cruising venues, there are quite a few place in both HCM City and Hanoi frequented by local gays and MBs as well, especially around certain public parks and suspended construction sites. 20 years ago, it was the only way for us to find MBs (now it's still there but on a more limited scale because of the apps). There are currently 2 parks in Hanoi: Thong Nhat park and Hoa Binh park, the former located near the city center and much more accessible to foreigners. But I don't think first-time visitors (local or foreigner) should venture out there on your own without a local friend to "chaperone". FYI: the on-going rate in these parks could be as low as 2 USD for an on-site bj, 5 USD for ST and 10 USD for LT (for comparisons, I already gave the apps rate in part 5). Boys are mostly straight, in their teens and early twenties, fresh from rural provinces, trying to make it in a big city. Actually, since a picture's worth a thousand words, here are some taken in Thong Nhat park just a couple of weeks ago. All four boys in the pictures are MBs. There are so many funny anecdotal stories about MBs and their customers in these parks. An MB boy told me this: a middle-aged customer picked him up from Thong Nhat park and they went to a short-time hotel nearby by customer's motorbike. Boy was the driver, and Customer snuggled right behind him, hugging him tight, touching his genitals while they were on the way. Customer came before they even reached the hotel. So Boy just collected his fee and was on his way while Customer used the hotel to wash himself. In another case, a pimp brought a new MB from the park to meet a customer located quite far away, also by motorbike (pimp would collect both his commission and transport fee in such a case). They got stopped by the traffic police for routine check. Boy, just arriving in the city a few days ago, got so scared at the sight of police, so he answered their simple question "Where do you guys go?" with this "I'm a first-time whore. This mister is taking me to go sucking some guy's dick" I think I could write a whole book on those anecdotes For Bangkok's Silom, I have two favorite "cruising" spots: The 7 Eleven in Wall Street Tower right before bar opening time and The Foodland restaurant in Patpong soi 2 right after bar closing time. For the former, you could get to meet boy bars having meals before work or smoking a cigarette and probably save them and yourself a trip to the bar (two boys in the picture below were from Fresh Boys, one was in their big cock show). For the latter, you could see some familiar faces with their catch of the night. Anyway, back to Bangkok from Phnom Peng, the first thing I did was to go to Hotmale downstairs in early evening. Ordered a drink. Few minutes later, two staffers approached and asked me to settle a bet for them (their usual ice-breaking tactic I guess). They tried to guess where I'm from. The taller one thought I'm Singaporean and the shorter one - Vietnamese. So Shortee won and I asked him how he knows I'm Vietnamese. He said something about skin complexion and facial features similar to one of the Viet boys in Fresh Boys. I bought them drinks and we talked. Shortee is from Laos, while the other - Cambodia. There are four regular boys working downstairs, but two were off today. So I took the chance to ask about the tiny Lao Vinapu mentioned so many times in his recent reports. "Must be me" Shortee said, "I'm the only Lao working here and I've been here for a long time". I did a double take. He's not that tiny and not that clingy either. He then asked "Who's your friend who's talking about me?" Well, I never meet Vinapu, so I grasped at "Mr KFC look" straws. It immediately struck some bells. "Oh that one" He whipped out his phone, scanning through it, then showed me a picture of him and a gentleman being very clingy to each other. First time I saw Vinapu's picture, ever. Being a longtime fan of the Big Bang Theory series, my first thought was: Nobel prize winner in Physics, not Mr. KFC (though I can see where that KFC label comes from). Either way, he is obviously someone when you meet, it would be hard for you to forget. Then I asked if they remember @jason1975 too, the guy from Singapore. Of course, "he was here two weeks ago, he's very nice". Then I took the chance to remind Shortee that they were not very nice to him when all turned down his offer for karaoke. Shortee looked apologetic "We were busy..." I also asked if they remember paulsf, "guy from America, quite close to Viet boys in Fresh Boys, he always sat here". Shortee checked his phone again and produced a picture of another gentleman, who looks handsome but kinda stern. I met Paul so I'm sure it wasn't him. "But this guy comes here a lot too," Shortee said. Well, if I have to match that picture with someone well-known in this forum who also frequents Hotmale downstairs, I would say @reader. His writing style (concise and to the point, careful choice of words, often politically correct) give me the impression of a college professor who tend to plan ahead, is serious and committed to what (or whom) he's doing (Vinapu sounds like someone who could be in academia too, but could also equally and easily get sidetracked for, his words not mine, "a bit of whoring") (Sorry, I'm not sure if it's appropriate to openly talk about my impressions of you guys like this in my thread. If you are offended, let me know.) Now, we get to know each other a bit better, I finally got Vinapu's comment about Shortee being clingy. Since that first meeting, anytime I walked by Hotmale and if Shortees saw me, he would rush out, clutch my hand and asked where I'm going. He quickly took to holding me and gently planting a peck on my neck many times while we were talking. @vinapu had he ever left you a hickey? After Hotmale, I decided to go back to M-star Massage in Silom Soi 6 because earlier when walking by I spotted a very cute and boyish masseur on duty. Since Jason1975 reported that the shop used a rotation system and did not allow customers to choose masseur, I'll see if I could strong-will them into letting me pick whoever I want. If I can't, they won't have my business for sure. (to be continued)

Yes , Min should get award from PPTPB ( Phnom Penh Tourist Promotion Board )

These trip reports about Phnom Penh bring back so many wonderful memories of past visits. I have stayed at A&P on many occasions and thoroughly recommend it, although when I was there the staff never walked around in their underwear. I used to go to nearby Hatha Khmer Massage every evening to meet up with Mr Bubblebutt - the cutest guy ever with the most magnificent butt imaginable. We flip-flopped for an hour - the price was US$45 which included entry fee, massage fee and $25 tip for the guy. Then I'd head off into town for dinner and then walk straight to Space Bar where I spent the rest of the evening. And yes, most of the guys there are straight but some are up for some discreet fun in the bar. One of the waiters sat there with me every night and we had long groping sessions under the table. He was quite well-hung and hard as a rock but unfortunately, I never got to see his equipment. Min, your reports have now got me thinking about a return visit.

The selection and ratification process of the court is the root of the problem. The president puts forth a nominee and the Senate determines the nominee’s fate. At one time, senators from both parties actually collaborated to support a suitable candidate. But now it’s a very adversarial process. instead, nominees are selected primarily on their liberal/conservative voting record in lower courts. The other problem is lifetime appointments. This means that a 50-year old appointment could conceivably serve for 40+ years. Given the ages of the court’s current conservative members, Americans can expect more of the same well into the future.

it may be truth in that. Next time some member will condemn me for paying excessive tips I need to recall that sentence even if , in my case is not true but as Italians say ' si non e vero e ben trovato" or something like that which translates to ' even if not true, well invented".

they may be enjoying it the same way we enjoy our work with view of Thursday cheque even if we don't like it. I'm of opinion repeated many times that straight guys are trying harder as they know they need to make good impression to stay in business. And when you take them to restaurant or store they make their choices fast. Once in Pattaya I went with certain Z to buy a shirt as one of mine was soiled with ink. I found one I liked , similar to soiled one , checked size and bought it , all it took was 87 seconds. His comment : "you are not gay"

I'm not saying no, but not this trip as it was my last night in Pattaya and I returned to Bangkok as we learn when I post next day later today (or tomorrow for those who are in different time zone ). While I liked those two multi boys nights I must state that my preference is still one on one . Multi boys may be more fun but one on one is more romantic. That gives me idea for next time if they still be there and I find them still attractive - dinner together than drinking in the room for fun part , then boys sent away with exception of one designated to be romantic partner for that night. Why I say " if I find them still attractive " ? This is a life . I don't meant particularly those three but most likely most of us experienced it in the past . Guy we salivated about last trip , all of the sudden doesn't seem to be so glorious now even if nothing changed. Or even worse - he doesn't seem to pay any attention to us, avoiding even eye contact or pretending we never met. Of course it works both ways, guy previously overlooked now shines like a star and one who sported blank eye then, now is all smiles and winks. Actual off seems to be often breaking point. I used to have big hots for certain model offed him twice despite some antics on first off and only after 2nd time when those antics were repeated I realized that hots are gone for good. On another hand X featuring in my trip stories never paid any attention to me when he was in bar to extend then in order to off him I searched help of another member but after first , somewhat forced off we hit it on with multiple repeats. No double my handsomeness is the factor, otherwise what it could be ?

Perhaps these are the new mega-rich tourists that the government has been targeting and who will spend more than all the lost 11 million or so Chinese put together. 🤣 🤣

Hmm true .. but this option is for those like me who only fancy straight guys much more straight guys who does not do this for a living or hasn't done it with another guy .. Trust me, there are a lot of straighties out there who would do this for the right amount. You'd be surprised sometimes to find out that the guys whom you think would never ever do it, would say yes.. There's one straight half american college student before from one of the most expensive colleges back in Manila who agreed to do it for 18,000 pesos (around 12000 THB). Turned it down though since it was too much. He even proposed that we can stagger the payment but then it is still too much haha...
