I'm just returning from a really good trip to Thailand. In fact, it was surprisingly good, and there are three main reasons for this: 1. I took some advice from several forum members who replied to a question I posted on this thread three months ago: I wanted to know which of the three ED drugs is least likely to bring on headaches. Basically the advice was to try all three, then choose the one that helped the most and hurt the least. I had been using Viagra for years and putting up with increasingly severe headaches. I did some online research and decided to try Cialis first. Those years I spent using Viagra? I always bought some Thai-made generic pills from a little drugstore tucked next to a corner of the Emporium shopping mall. A box of four 100mg pills cost 280 baht. That was really cheap, I thought, which is one reason I kept going back to that store. So ... let's ask how much generic Cialis is. Uh-oh. Wasted trip. My favorite recreational drug store did not make it through the pandemic. I obviously wasn't the only tourist keeping it in business. So I'll return to the gayborhood and over-pay for my pills, I thought. But finding an affordable option turned out to be, well, impossible. The first place that said they had Cialis was the counter inside the UNESCO World Heritage site on Patpong. How much, I asked. "2,500 baht," came the response. Man, that's a lot more than 280 baht, I thought. The price was for a box of four 20mg tablets. After an exhaustive search of a wide area from Surawong well past Sathorn, I spent 1,000 baht on a 4-pack of generic Cialis. Still a lot more than 280 baht. After some more online research I decided to start off with half a pill. The results? Corpora Cavernosa Magnifico! A triumph of youthful proportions! And no headache whatsoever! 2. There were a lot of cuties in Pattaya. I almost never find the slender-but-well-defined type of twink I'm looking for when I go to Pattaya and always end up leaving two days after arriving. But this time there was a veritable smorgasbord. The selection of eager bottoms combined with my soaring confidence, youthful vigor and porn-star-like stamina -- all chemically generated, of course -- made me feel like I was Justin Bieber on an anonymous trip to Brazil. All of the hotties wanted me to fuck them. At least that's what it seemed like. You know how Pattaya is. I had fun in both Boyz Town, even though it is a sad shadow of what it once was, and in Jomtien, where there is a real buzz of excitement in the air. I will definitely make Pattaya a larger part of my Thailand itineraries from here on out. 3. The renovation of Silom Soi 2. This is where DJ Station is, and DJ Station still seems to be the major attraction. It used to be my happy place. I couldn't get enough of its vibe, of the hot, hard, bronze-skinned bodies who would take off their shirts, jump on the stage and sensually gyrate to the music as if they couldn't get enough attention. The first floor was like heaven, but of a multilevel heaven that was even more of a paradise on the second floor, where Southeast Asia's cutest twinks used to hang out, eager to start conversations with Westerners. I am not a drag fan but I even loved the DJ Station drag show that would start at 11:30 every night. The headline performer had the ability to be hilarious even to people who do not speak Thai. Finally, I always loved the music in DJ Station, often finding myself on that previously mentioned stage without my shirt. I would always feel let down when the lights would come on announcing closing time. But DJ Station lost its vibe sometime around 2008. The hot young Thais just stopped showing up, it seemed. So did the second-floor twinks. And the place was getting old. The stench of urine was almost everywhere. Eventually, I kind of wrote off DJ Station and found other reasons to go to Thailand, like the SK Party during Songkran and the White Party during New Year's. If I was in town at some other time of year, I'd wait in my hotel until late, then go to G.O.D. because I knew DJ Station would be a disappointment. But DJ Station is back, baby! The entire soi has been given a face lift. Now there are no walls or doors to any of the clubs. They are all open-air. In DJ Station, the gyrating, bronze-skinned boys are back and so are the twinks eager to start conversations on an expanded second floor. It was Saturday night. Well, Sunday morning, really, as I didn't get to DJ until well after midnight, and all the locals were already chatting up the tourists. No matter. I was enjoying the party-like-its-2007 vibe and just happy to be there. Eventually, right before 2, I decided to head back to my hotel, but I was waylaid before I got to the door by an adorable young man who made me guess his age. If we were not in a place that checked IDs, I would have guessed 18. It turns out he was more than a decade older than that. He didn't mind when I told him my age. We talked, and when the lights came on, he and his friends invited me to an after-hours club I had never heard of called Sake. We were in a taxi for at least a half hour, it seemed, trying to get around numerous police barricades to wherever it was we were going. When we finally got there, I had no idea where we were, what part of Bangkok we were in. Sake turned out to be a straight Thai-style nightclub where groups of friends stand around tables after ordering a bottle of whiskey and mixers. A run-of-the-mill, industrial-looking after-hours club, except for one super cute boy on the other side of the space who kept checking me out. Why? Because I'm the only white person in the club? Because I'm with someone almost half my age? And where am I again? Is this a gay-mix party? The new vibe that one boy was giving off definitely made me wonder. But there was a stage, more of a runway, in the middle of the bar that a lot of straight couple were jumping onto and showing off their moves. So, yeh, I'm in a straight bar. My new friend who took me to Sake (pronounced like the Japanese rice wine) didn't seem to mind this other kid checking me out. In fact, when the guy walked by our table, my new friend stopped him and began caressing him, then encouraging me to do likewise. Soon enough this boy's shirt was off and the caressing did not stop. His hands also found their way into my jeans as he wanted to check out my size. I kind of didn't mind being molested in this way. In fact, I liked it and started wondering if a three-way was in the making. So did my friend, who asked the new boy if he'd like to join us. The kid looked at me, then at my new friend and ever so slightly shook his head. No. Was I disappointed? Yeh, but it was a long shot and I was already with the second-cutest guy in the bar (which did indeed turn out to be a gay-straight mix club as male couples also began taking to the runway. I love this about Thailand. Gay or straight, no one cares. We're all having fun). So how did this new kid end up in our taxi on the way back to my hotel in the Silom-Sathorn district? He says he's going to an after-after-hours club on Soi 6 but is starting to tease me, too. Might the three-way be on after all? My chemically rejuvenated cock was sure ready for one. What a great way to cap off an already fantastic Thailand trip! But it didn't happen. Still, I must look out for this club on Soi 6 next time I'm in Bangkok, which will be much sooner than I had previously planned. Is it a club? Maybe a sauna?

As for fun available in Siem Reap now I found 3 massage places ( Men’s resort, Gecko and 168 massage ) and one bar , Barcode. And of course Grindr worked there as well ( I don’t use other apps for now , perhaps in future I will ). Massage at Men’s was very professional, costly at 26$ for 1.50 hrs session and it was just that , very good massage , no extra’s. May be I was again not brave enough to signal or masseur was not interested in any of that , anyways this reflected my previous experience there few years ago. Saying that they must be popular as day before I went there around 8 pm and was told all guys are busy and there’s 1 hour wait involved. Gecko massage is located on main street leading from Old Market and is of mixed staff but guy there I asked for massage knew his job very well, ahem, and I had very pleasant time there and with him , massage 15$ for 1.5 hr, tip twice as much , bit high but he caught me in heat of the moment with request. Anyways I’m not one to haggle about 5 $ or even 10$ . My headquarters when comes to guys was 168 Massage, I found it on my first night when I went to check if Hatha Khmer is still there , it turned out it was replaced by 168. It’s on side street by roundabout past Old market. Massage 10 $ ( 40000 riels) , min tip 20 $ ( 80 000 riels). I went there six evenings in row, my all there with exception of first. Each time had different guy but experience was uniformly great with good massage and ample extras. Guys congregate behind glass and curtain, similar to old Hero experience in BKK, all rather guy next door to hunky types, exactly what I like. I tipped each uniformly 100 000 riels (25$ ), well deserved. Funniest was third encounter on Wednesday ( I was there Sunday to Sunday ), mamasan told me they my chosen one just started today and I’m his first customer. Which was no doubt truth as he was so excited that upon entry to the room where I laid already ready for oil massage i.e. naked he did not bother to close door. He did when I pointed there. After that all went very well, he knew how to massage, who cares about door closing skills. And was not shy at all. I developed evening routine there, after massage I had banana pancake on the corner and then through Pub Street I went to Barcode bar. There were two days of exception as at that time at least bar was not open every day and was closed I guess Mon and Wed (please confirm if you are there ) . There’s no longer any gay oriented bar on Pub Str, no harm done as street was extremely noisy so all I did every night it was just fast stroll through. Other gone venue was Barcode massage and I say it with bleeding hear as my last time there 5 years ago I got great guy from there who accompany me on trip to Prasat Bakan (most remote from all Angkor temples, called also Preah Khan Kompong Svay ) and was tasked with warning my bed almost nightly. Barcode has continuous show for good 3 hours , alternating resident dancers with resident ladyboys. Audience is mixed , I saw elderly couples , your girls alone and in company but everybody behaved, no screaming girls infesting some Pattaya and Bangkok bars. Few very handsome waiters and on my first night at departure I tipped one of them whole 5$ hoping next day he will remember me. Such sophisticated plot worked as indeed next time he greeted me as soon as I showed up and after few complements from me about his handsomeness we arranged for visit in my room after hours. It involved some drama as initially he declined, only to Line me later that he changed his mind. Sweet taste of dollar denominated tip I guess. He was one who forced me to wake up receptionist at Men’s. I was hoping for repeat during day next day but it did not work for him for some reason. There was another guy encounter earlier, on my first night at Barcode I recognized guy I saw previously on Grindr and he was one who draw my attention there with nice face and built. In flesh face was as nice but he turned out to be more diminutive than I imagined which did not stop me from glancing toward him until he noticed and showed empty chair beside him. He had drink already, we exchanged Line with promise of future contact. Future was closer than I imagined as I got message from him as soon as he left bar. Question was ‘ what hotel you are staying ? ” . Only looking stupid I knew what it means so my answer was “ Royal Crown, do you want to see my room ? “ to an answer : “ yes, tonight ? “ and that being me next question was ‘ How much?”. We met in front of hotel and I had very good time , I even asked about long time option but he declined as he was supposed to go to work in the morning. Not only good looking but also smart and good conversationalist. I don’t think he liked me that much though , not only because that declined long time but also when he saw me at bar o subsequent nights he did not make any effort to approach me which I don’t hold against him as he was obviously popular with younger patrons, he, he.

they do , I'm one of them, but still it should be customer decision , not masseur's. One of Tawan boys I off quite regularly tried the same as soon as he entered room in my hotel. My answer was " 1500 baht ' with outstretched palm. He got the message and become cuddly all of the sudden. Goes without sayin that in few minutes I offered to massage him, free of charge. His answer was equally smart : "but you tip me as always? "

Other car trip was to Kbal Spean , riverbed carved with hundreds lingas but timing was unfortunate, after night’s rain water was high and lots of carvings were poorly visible. To get there there's nice 40 mins walk through the jungle. I visited it on my way to sacred mountain Mount Kulen where upon arrival I was offered trip to some remote places accessible only by narrow paths for motorbikes only. Driver wanted 20$ for the whole circuit , pictures looked enticing but what made me take his offer was comment I saw on internet “ very interesting adventure but not for old people “ Moment I saw it I was buyer, fuck whoever wrote it. KFC man rules , no? Not that it was entirely wrong as it was shaky ride but worth every penny and adventure indeed and can be undertaken only by motorbike.

Next day was Preah Vihear which I already visited before but that temple being separate UNESCO site seated dramatically atop of mountain is worth going to any time. Fact that it was fought over with Thais quite recently (tranches are still visible ) adds to the drama. For those in Bangkok, there’s replica of her in Muang Boran park in Samut Prakan among other architectural gems of Thailand. Driver sensed perhaps that 90 $ he charged me yesterday was too low so asked for 130 $ to go there, still less than I paid last time. temple is on that mountain view from the top I met family

Perhaps the owner has decided to rebrand the club and cater to ladies? Anyway I shall be in Bangkok next week for 2 weeks till Christmas. I will be more than happy to give update.

My apologies to those who care I promised second part a while ago but I was busy with other travel and some social functions and only now have time to continue. As I said after 3 days in Phnom Penh I went for full week to Siem Reap. As lover of old buildings and ruins I must say Siem Reap for me is close to ultimate destination owing to number of crumbling buildings spread over large territory. During that week tourist stuff was more important to me than, eternal shame on me, boys. Saying that I haste to say that with exception of first evening , none of he following six went without romantic stuff . Getting from airport to my hotel was easy, I was planning to go outside gates where always some tuk-tuk drivers congregate but on my way was stopped by some driver who offered me ride to hotel for 9$ which is upper end of price for that service but was smart enough to finish his sentence with statement that he has also car if I want to go somewhere further. I was prepared so asked him right away ‘how much to Banteai Chhmar?’ 90 $ was much less than expected so deal was sealed. More about that later, boy stuff first as this is what readers are waiting for, not a pile of old stones. Owing to good offer on Agoda my first 4 night were at Royal Crown followed by three at Men’s Resort. Royal Crown markets itself as 4 if not 5 stars and it is quite shiny with two pools , breakfast is included and room was very spacious and nicely furnished. It’s across the river from Old Market. There are two supermarkets just steps from hotel and there was no problem with visitor. Men’s resort is little gay enclave in hidden soi north of National Highway 6 which is Siem Reap’s main drag but it’s only 5 minutes walk from said Hwy so hardly remote. Wat Po Lanka as well as town’s only Catholic Church are in close proximity and National Museum (closed when I was there ) is nearby. They offer massage and there’s sauna with adjacent maze on ground level, pool and all staff are males. For lazy or rich types there’s always tuk-tuk or two parked at front so getting to the city is cheap and easy. Room had a view and all conveniences but had that industrial feel with concrete floor , bit different from opulence of Royal Crown but quite similar to one I had in Phnom Penh at Saravoan. I liked their breakfast and to this day I recall taste of fresh baguette and heavenly tasting jam, best I had in generation or two. As for more interesting stuff there I had one massage there before I moved in but after that did not participate in any internal activities in resort. I’m not sauna person and somehow either I did not know how to approach guys working there or they skillfully ignored me but for me that resort was just hotel without any extras. Perhaps I should be more forwarding, I just don’t know but did not click there. No problem with external guest other than necessity of waking up night shift receptionist as gates were closed but 10000 riel / 2.5 $/ note soothed his inconvenience – my initiative , he did not ask for anything, perhaps because was too sleepy, lol. to be continued below

with new generation of gay tourists name 'Twilight' does not resonate as much as with us oldies with good memory. But " Queen Club " as bar name ? For me it's like name of bar with fem bottoms only

A wise move to call his wife. It's so hard to know sometimes when to speak up and when not to. My own misguided attempts at good intentions will have certainly earned me a place in hell. But you called that one perfectly.

years ago upon returning to work from 3 weeks holiday I noticed that one employees lost weight in such a short period. I called his wife, also employee, and asked if she noticed that. She confirmed but that convinced her to drag him to the doctor for tests. It was cancer. He was treated and survived

So as you can see above fun still can be had in Siem Reap. But make no mistake , evening meets with boys were just side business. My main goal was sightseeing and number one goal was Banteai Chhmar temple about 60 km north of Sisophon. This is last from big Khmer temples I never visited. It’s vast complex but quite ruined even for Angkor standards, still warrants 2-3 hrs drive on way and that 90$ outlay. Time there was spoiled by some festivities in nearby village accompanied by deafening music which was heard in Siem Reap and Poipet and perhaps in Kuala Lumpur too I’m sure. few impressions from Banteai Chhmar and loud festivities

John Thomson's collection of more than 650 negatives were purchased by the American Henry Solomon Wellcome shortly after Thomson's death in 1921. Wellcome had made his fortune in the pharmaceutical business. He had earlier moved to the UK and became a British citizen. Having sold Wellcome to the company now known as GlaxoSmithKline, on his death he left all his wealth to the Wellcome Trust, a charity which he had established. It seems there is no permanent Exhibition of Thomson's work at the Wellcome Trust's headquarters. What better than to make digital reproductions of his work for permanent exhibition in the countries he visited?

I agree. Nothing wrong with discussing medical topics and sharing information. But there is everything wrong with someone looking for us to provide a diagnosis and recommend treatment. Like it or not, that is for a doctor, not us. I'm sorry, but I think it is wrong to consider doctors to be the last resort. For me, doctors are the first resort. If you have something wrong, go to a doctor, not a message board. If you have had bad results with one doctor, go to a different doctor. "Nuthin' goes right for me. I decided to try Viagra, but I accidentally dropped them all into the toilet. Now the lid won't stay down." - Rodney Dangerfield

so now we have two UNESCO recognized places in Silom area : Neilson Hays Library and Foodland Patpong restaurant

Unless they did it for financial or legal reasons, I can't figure out why they changed the name to something that seems unlikely to to attract a greater audience. Visited this place twice and found that it had everything you'd want in show bar (good seating, great lighting, big stage, superior sound system) except a predictable stable of performers. The owners must have designed and located the venue with the specific hopes of attracting a huge following of Chinese tourists. Two very successful restaurants that have long catered to the China trade (Mango Tree and the restaurant opposite) are located just up the road on Soi Tarntawan. Those same tourists also provided the main source of customers for the row of mixed massage shops on Surawong from the corner of Soi Tarntawan to Patpong 1.

This is second part of my trip to SE Asia. First part was very short visit to Thailand reported already here : https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/38515-shortest-trip-ever-but-still-blood-pressure-rising-report/ First thing I did in the airport was to collect my luggage which arrived only day later and I instructed them to keep it there as I will be able to collect it on departure. Process went very smoothly and only when I was reunited with my goods clouds appeared on horizon : my 10.30 am flight to Phnom Penh did not appear anywhere on the screen. Upon visiting ThaiViet Jet counter I learned that it’s postponed till 17.30 so after brief consultation with myself I decided to toss that ticket and but new one for next available flight which was with Bangkok Airways at twice the price. Within hour I was on the plane though and landed in PP shortly after 1 so that splurge gave me an additional half day of time there. I had electronic visa so all went smoothly, exchanged 20 $ for 80 000 riels to have some change , collected my luggage , purchased SIM card for 8$ for 16 days and went to the taxi counter to splurge 9$ on tuk-tuk to the hotel. There are cheaper options like bus or catching tuk-tuk- outside of airport but I decided NOT to play Scrooge as amounts involved are very minor (to keep things in perspective where I live taxi from airport is 32 $ and I live walking distance from the airport). I was in PP three days staying in Saravoan Royal Palace hotel in close vicinity of National Museum. Street 178, right beside Blu Chili bar which I did not visit by the way. Talk about wasted opportunities. Can recommend that hotel and will return as they say. I like to stay close to main attractions of place I’m visiting. They close gates at night but there was night guard so poor guy was waked up by me at 2 am every night, tipped him 2 $ or 10000 riels each time for his troubles. Went around the city by foot or tuk-tuk 1-2 $ each time . As before riels and dollars are fully interchangeable at rate 4000 to 1$ and you can pay in either. Changing money is easy and rates vary very little. Make sure your dollars notes , if any are not torn nor have ant writings on them. They seem to be vary particular about that and I got returned 1 $ bill with 1 mm tear. I reported my arrival to Christian PFC who happened to be there , by coincidence living in hotel on the same street and shortly he visited me to shake hands and then we went for a dinner to restaurant he recommended. In the evening I went alone to search for Space Hair , barber turning into host bar at night They don’t have go-go bars , Space Hair is a host bar. Bar is located on 136 str , famous for girl bars , right beside Sun and Moon hotel. I had problems finding it as for some reason I though is opposite hotel but no, is right beside. Gay flag is proudly displayed. There are several hosts there who are willing to have a drink or few drinks with you but are not offable in Thai sense. Yes you can tactfully arrange to meet at least some of them after hours. There are also three cute dogs who were not inclined to extract any drinks. They open at 8pm and close at 2 am. I spent all 3 evenings there having two permanent drinking companions plus occasional one from time to time . Nothing rough but I had bit of discreet but fruitful survey under the table at their invitation / encouragement. Drinks are from 3.50 / beer / to 6 / red wine / , worth it as one of my boys admitted it makes him horny and not after long I could see and feel the proof, again discretely. Unfortunately that guy was not available to go with customer , God is my witness I tried daily or rather nightly. Still he was a ton of pleasant fun and I think I liked him the most from all guys I met on that trip. Another of my hosts turned more amendable , on my last night with a bit of drama I managed to convince to visit me in my room. Drama because we left separately and only then I got Line message from him asking about my hotel and instructing me to wait for him in front of it. This gives you an idea how discrete whole thing is. I spent 50-70 $ on drinks for boys nightly and don’t regret it at all which is surprising myself as I’m not bar person. They are not nagging you for drinks and when treated with one are not in rush to gulp it and leave but when they finish one they may leave your table unless you treat them with next one. What I liked about that bar is that guys were keeping track of what we had and on one of nights actually noticed that I was charged for some drinks they did not had, impressive and about 8 $ savings. As for massage places three I visited were HECO and two Hatha Khmer locations. HECO is right behind royal palace so walking distance from my hotel , hey had only 2 boys on duty when I was there but that was enough , I was happy with one I picked up. Massage is costly at 20$ but I liked experience , tipped boy also 20 $ When you google for Hatha Khmer you may receive 3 locations. 330 street, 350 and 368. Visited all three but at 368 was nothing at address indicated , asked locals and they told me that shop moved to 330 street which I visited as well. Both 330 and 350 streets are in vicinity of infamous Tuol Sleng Genocide prison museum so easy to get to as every driver knows the place. 330 is short street and Hatha Khmer is located at opposite end from prison , on your left going toward it. There’s sign but it’s bit discreet so watch out , entry is like a bit of garden. Inside behind the glass were several hunks, massage was 15 $ , I tipped guy whole 40 $ which probably was well above going rate but I was happy with experience. Location on 350 street is sauna and massage. That is street bordering prison from south and is much longer , Hatha Khmer is on stretch between prison and main street on your left going from prison . There’s no sign but is quite prominent poster showing handsome hunk, entry looks loke covered parking lot or garage with sauna entry deep inside. I just asked attendant and he pointed me toward staircase. It was mid day and no boy was on duty but they told me they can bring one in 5 minutes and that was exactly what happened. Massage 12 $ , I tipped 30 $ , session was good but bit rushed toward end, it’s why lower tip. In PP massages they expect you to be showered already and in none shower was offered after massage even if they had facilities. They simply wiped all oil clean with the towels . Facilities were clean and boys smelling immaculate so nothing to be apprehensive about . I liked 330 location the best out those 3 even if presence of that infamous prison nearby was for me a bit chilling. I was in Phnom Penh in 2001 and change to the urban landscape was positive and monumental. I was surprised by number of high rises built in meantime , streets were much cleaner , parks spruced up, Central Market and railway station renovated. It appeared also to be much safer than expected , at least twice I left Space Hair at 2 am and walked to my hotel from 136th street to 178th undisturbed at all. I visited National Museum, very pleasant affair few steps from my hotel but sadly Royal Palace with it’s Silver Pagoda was still closed for a Covid apparently. Climbed Wat Phnom hill , visited several temples and Wat Ounalom and Russian Market as a tourist program and three days in Phnom Penh went fast. Then I went for a week to Siem Reap which will be reported separately.

Are others a little wary of buying drugs from small pharmacies which may not be kosher? I bought some omezaprole back in November in Pattaya, the price of which was so ridiculously low, compared to those in the UK, that I wondered.

Here in Jomtien, I found this shop that sells Cialis - box of 4 - 20mg for 400 baht - so, 100 baht per pill. Not sure if this is a good price - but just want to share information. It is right outside of our Jomtien Complex on the main Thappraya road. (Note the image below it is quite dated - as it has been quite a while since the Google street view car has passed to update the street view image).

So true!!! Unless of course, you cannot resist your encounter with the "pile of old stones....." Reminds me of a place called, "Dream Canyon" - just outside of Boulder, Colorado - you never knew what you might cum up against on those pile of old stones :>))

Yes because boys may become old while ruins are already old

room at Royal Crown room at Men's Resort bathroom

Last year a fan at a Seattle Kraken game noticed one of the visiting Canucks equipment managers on the bench had what appeared to her to be a cancerous mole on the back of his neck, she wrote a note on her phone and then banged on the plexi-glass to show him. He didn't take note seriously, but had the team doctor look at the mole and it was indeed cancerous and was soon removed. He was very grateful. So weird things happen. I had a massage from an elderly lady on a Thai beach once. If I had had any lumps she would have found them. Very thorough, very very thorough.

or for bottoms 😉

Sorry, we were talking Brazil, Reis, about 5.23 to 1 usd at the moment

Colombian peso and in thousands. Current rate is 1 USD is about 5000 (5 K) peso. So 250 K peso is 50 USD.

From, Coconuts Bangkok A century-old library in Bangkok’s Silom area has won a top award by the United Nation’s cultural agency. The restoration of the Neilson Hays Library, which took place from 2016 through 2018, received an Award of Distinction at the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation. “The project sets a welcome benchmark for the restoration of early twentieth-century buildings of western architectural design in humid tropical environments,” the UNESCO jury said in a statement. The Neilson Hays Library was built in 1922 by Mario Tamagno, the same Italian architect responsible for iconic structures such as Hua Lamphong, the Government House, and the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall. Its architectural highlights include an Italianate dome, symmetrical layout, stucco decorative motifs, columns, and teak fixtures and fittings. Though many original details survive today, the building was in obvious disrepair by 2016, leading the library’s board to enlist architectural restoration experts. They found that the damage that was visible was due to much deeper systemic problems and concluded a major restoration was critically needed. The site was fully renovated from top to bottom, including repairs to the floors, bookcases, roof tiles, and drainage system, as well as upgrades to its garden and parking lot. The cost was estimated to be around THB10 million (USD$287,000), much of which was underwritten by the Singha-beer barons at Boon Rawd Brewery. Nalin Vanasin, the library’s association president, called the renovation “a labor of love” by people coming together to “dedicate themselves to preserve a piece of history and to propel their beloved library forward.” The library was among 13 projects from six nations – Afghanistan, China, India, Iran, Nepal, and Thailand – recognized by an international jury at this year’s awards program. Restoration of Mumbai’s century-old museum, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, received the Award of Excellence. With the generosity of members, volunteers, and donors, the library underwent a two year, multi-million baht renovation fully funded by donations in time and money from the Neilson Hays Library community worldwide.

I'm here now, it's crazy everywhere because of the World Cup.....had a kid with a big one last night, and good looking. In Thailand whenever I see someone working a go-go bar that looks much older, or out of places looks wise, guaranteed they are in the big cock show, lol

welcome to a heavenly gates anyways

Try not to overthink the situation before you arrive in the shop. I find that one of the most most rewarding aspects of a massage is the unknown. Sure, you want to know in advance the fees involved and and some basic stuff about the guy you're thinking about booking. But beyond that I really look forward to seeing how the experience unfolds, I don't want to know everything that's likely to happen before it does. A massage--a good one IMO--often hinges on the physical, verbal and unspoken interplay between me and the masseur. I'm as much a participant as he is. When I allow that to play out, I frequently end up more satisfied and happy.

B and I got to BBB just in time for the 22:30 show. The place was packed, about 20% female - either with their boyfriends or in groups. We were sitted right flank (further from the door) front row; good view. Some 20 guys were standing on stage, dressed, offering themselves to be offed. The majority were not twinks. Some were offable, but none really excited me. [I prefer to get mine through apps: nudes, written understandings, no interactions under unbearable noise.] These guys returned to the stage for the break, and after the show had ended. By then their numbers have dwindled, hopefully bcs some had been offed. The show was a mix of BBB's group (dancers, drag singers, straight big cocks) and the famous B Boys; it was a really professional high class show. In the first act, the cock guys were wearing white tongas, standing above blow holes that were lifting the tongas Marlyn Monroe style, thus exposing the cocks. One of them was right in front of us; I really wanted to reach out and grab..... In total the show lasted 2 hours. [At an early point I put in my ear plugs, which helped.] People gave tips to specific performers they liked, either directly if they were sitting front row; or through an usher, who then pointed out with a laser beam the back-sitting benefactor, so the performer cld gesture his gratitude. There was one old ugly lady who persistently came on stage, to tip every performer at a certain act. Guess she earned that right by her largesse, but it was really annoying. A couple of times an usher had to come up to escort her down. When the talented and sexy B-Boys gave 2 especially great performances, B gladly tipped them when the hat was passed, sighing: "If only they were offable..." The big cocks were attuned to the ladies, whenever a person from the audience was invited up, or when they got down into the audience. However, the ladies werent screaming disruptive dominating, so - contrary to some reports here - they didnt spoil my fun. Towards the end, the big cocks went around all the audience, to offer a grope. I shook hands with every cock that wasnt condomed (except one with a hideous inserted bean), tipping 100 each. One of them responded by planting a kiss on my forehead. I reciprocated by planting one on his cock; he recoiled. Bottom line: great time, to b had (if one is so inclined) for a mere 200 per first drink. After the show we/I peeked into the other clubs there. Toy Boys, A Bomb and X boys were lifeless: 2-3 boys, no cstmrs, zero energy. Dream Boys was dfrnt. Outside was a sexy twink, dressed in white undies, full of energy: "u want come in, sir? "U want me? I suck u, u boom boom?" I peeked inside; no cstmrs, but many boys. By then both of us were tired, but I decided to return. Great Pattaya-introductory evening!

perhaps forum is a place to ask but not a place to take medical advices seriously

He reminds me of some of the men I saw in Buenos Aires. A guy working at an airline counter at the airport in Buenos Aires was the most beautiful man I've ever seen based purely on facial features. Looked like your guy in the video, but with incredible blue eyes, maybe slightly darker skin and more defined cheek bones. Ten years ago and I still remember him. Can't remember what the counter person looked like for a flight I took last week. I'm not sure the blue eyes were legit, are there contacts that will do that. If they were natural, then wow did he ever luck out on genetics. He gave me my boarding pass and I didn't want to leave.

Well … this one? Copenhagen. However, not the chocolate shop chain in Brazil, Kopenhagen. But speaking of newbies in candy shops, you are asking very general questions that have elusive answers. Handsome fit young men are a dime a dozen anywhere, but not priced like that. First things first: are your aspirations hiring or scoring? You have managed to evade attempts at queries about expectations. There is a huge difference and we get tired of second- guessing what advice would be helpful.

Google translate isn't always the best, especially when countries like Cuba, DR, Colombia make up their own words for standardized Spanish objects, lol He's confusing handcuffs with wife ... or maybe he has more than 1 wife, because handcuffs is always plural esposas and wife is esposa ....he might call them brazaletes or grilletes maybe??

Need more info to give an opinion, likes, touristy things or just being a ho.....etc....

Interesting, I showered in Hatha Khmer Msg as well as in Heco, before and after. Not much selection in Heco, only 1 boy available, though msg itself was good. Hatha Khmer Msg similar to Arena in Bkk, can we say that? Might try A&P next, what is the best time to go there?

Thanks for the rec, I like it too! Maybe we should add that the hotel has no elevator for those who have difficulty climbing stairs, and there are a lot of stairs!

I stayed at a gay hotel - Arthur & Paul. A really boutique hotel with only 5 rooms. It's not "gay friendly"; it's gay: rooms have names of masculine pairs; decorative nudes; an immaculate gay sauna, including jaccuzzi and private cubicles; and 6 handsome youngsters doubling as staff and massuers. Indeed, the bellboy who led me to my room offered himself almost explicitly (too efiminate for my taste). I hadn't settled down yet, and a grindr msg appeared from another hotel massuer. He offered himself, explaining massage costs $20 (to hotel), and if there is any sexual activity - additional 20 to him. He also answered that he doesnt suck (my favorite HE). Later, to be on the safe side, I discreetly inquired at the reception and was given the same info, and that sucking is "up to boy". Went to tour the sauna and sit in the jaccuzzi. There were about 12 young local eye-candies. Never witnessed such a reserved sauna atmosphere: absolutely zero interaction btw them - no smile, no wink, no word, no hint, no touch. They just kept walking around, no action at all. They also wore bathing shorts beneath their towels. I was later told locals never approach each other. So why go to a sauna... ? Same scene the next night. Not being a local, I striked up a limited dialogue with a guy in the jaccuzzi. Soon we were groping each other, and then moved to grope more freely in a cubicle; me being the proactive one. He was really terrified of onlookers. By 23:00, when I opted for a massage, only 2 of the 6 were left. I chose the not-efiminate one. The massage room (like all hotel and sauna facilities) was excellant. So was the massage, both the therapeutic and the sensual. We hardly spoke. He took it for granted I was interested in a HE, and proceeded to give me a great swallowing BJ. Maybe he had heard something from the receptionist. I tipped him 30 instead of the 20. I got a preview of Vinapu's report, in which he mentions two saunas with same payment structure. I figured "why try them out when I have inhouse service....." Also, received a fair amount of non-pay apps solicitations, mainly thru grindr. In all, during my 3n/3d here, had two apps appointments and 2 massages. On Bkkmfj's recommendation, the second massage was a 4-hands (first time for me). Great sensation, and I loved the way they fit their dicks (one rather flacid, the other rocket-like) into my palms on both sides. There's no in-room phone, but I guess one can reserve in advance a service for a morning boner before getting out of bed... (-:

Sorry about the pieces but I'm using tablet which I hate. Despite of late arrival I was in talks with floridarob about meeting tonight, we never met before. He told me that he is waiting at Hotmale beer bar so after showering but unfortunately wearing the same shirt of day long flight I rushed there. Staff recognized me on approach and greeted with open arms and news " your friend is waiting for you". I noticed immediately elderly gentleman sitting by the bar so joined him with something like "finally after all those years, face behind the name", he looked bit confused with my cogeniality, said something polite and finally some of the staff pointed that other guy, mu h younger and better built is, one I, m supposed to greet. It was floridarob indeed. So we exchanged latest news about Thailand, scene, as well as Mexico in view of my recent trip to Puerto Vallarta Vallarta and past 1 am as streets, were emptying rapidly we parted ways and instead of going back to Raya I decided to do a late night walk through the area, always good idea after bars are closing as one can catch some companions going home empty handed. So Silom and Patpong it was then turning left on Suriwong towards Tawan with hope that some boys, will be still having a during on the corner of soi Tawan and that street which is their habit for years. And on approach I saw three shades indeed. Coming closer I see one unfamiliar face, one familiar of Dam and third one even more familiar of guy who left them perpaps 4- 5 years ago whom I offed in the past several times. One of those you can,t forget due to their muscular, steely sculpted bodies. We recognized each other in instant. Hug was spontaneous and very strong. I remembered his name, he forgot mine but remembered hotel we met last time in soi 3. No price for guessing who was my companion I took home. What a surprise, one of those, you reasonably think you will never see again was there, smile. muscle and all. As a bonus we were in the room in minute as he lifted us on his motorbike. Who cared about lost luggage in such circumstances.

New Twilight is almost opposite of Nature Boys. I don't think location is an obstacle, after all Moonlight is in even more obscure and looking forgotten corner but still thrives, owing to well executed business model . Super A looked abandoned and gone in May when I was passing by on few occasions.

yes , sometimes it must be stranger who alerts us about something unusual in our looks. Even better if that stranger is in some position of authority ( I was supervisor of both spouses and one who actually hired them so they had some respect ) I know cases when strangers alerted about possible jaundice and leukemia, in both cases they were spot on. Leukemia case did not have happy ending though as person in question denied it until it was too late.

From The Nation Thailand’s cruel sex traffickers have struck again. The victim, a man only identified as ‘B,’ said the three traffickers told him he would work as a massage therapist in Dubai last year. On top of a monthly 80,000 baht salary, B was promised free food and accommodation, as well as a free flight. But B was in for a horrific realisation. Once he arrived at the massage shop in Dubai in November 2021, the Chinese manager seized his passport. B was then forced to sell sex to pay off more than 70,000 baht of debt he was told he owed for his travel costs. B said that clients were charged 900 baht per session, and half of this was deducted to pay off his debt. B was able to get help from Dubai authorities after he was traded to a second massage shop. He was then able to escape back to Thailand, where he reported the situation to the police. Thailand’s Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for the culprits on Tuesday. The traffickers were charged with colluding to commit human smuggling for prostitution regardless of the victim’s willingness. The alleged traffickers are 32 year old Janya Phuwong, 37 year old Panuwat Sapsomboon, and 45 year old Nanthaporn Kullangka. Police arrested Janya in Samut Prakan. Nanthaporn was arrested in Bangkok’s Bueng Kum district and Panuwat in Phuket’s Kathu district. Janya confessed to the charges, according to police. Nanthaporn told police she was paid 3,000 baht to teach Thai massage to B. Panuwat said he received 10,000 baht to convince B to work in Dubai, Nation Thailand reported. The investigation found over 4 million baht circulating in Janya’s bank accounts between May and November. The commissioner of the Central Investigation Bureau, Lieutenant-General Jiraphop Bhuridej, said that many other people might be victims of Janya. This is far from the first time a Thai has been trafficked to Dubai. In September, a 40 year old Thai woman who claimed she escaped forced prostitution in Dubai pleaded for help for her three friends, who were still imprisoned in Dubai. She said the traffickers offered them gardening work in Dubai with an attractive salary of 80,000 – 100,000 baht per month. Other Thai victims of trafficking to Dubai have been promised jobs as masseuses, as B was.
