Day 1 This visit to Thailand was third part of my trip to SE Asia which started with very short stay in Bangkok reported here: https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/38515-shortest-trip-ever-but-still-blood-pressure-rising-report/ Followed by 10 days in Cambodia reported here: https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/38619-guys-and-ruins-ruins-and-boys-trip-to-cambodia-in-oct-2022 When leaving Cambodia early afternoon I felt I deserved some rest since I made sure I did not waste any time there , day or night, filled with sightseeing, massages , bar visits with very little sleep. Which is normal for me on vacations as I follow logic that less time is wasted on sleep, more disposable vacation time I have. Unfortunately with age I start having problem of sticking to my own rules. Plane from Siem Reap to Don Muang was almost full , luckily two out of very few free seats left were in my row , not that it mattered much in 45 minutes flight. Immigration was breeze with nobody in lines and since I travel with carry-on it was no more than 15 minutes from leaving aircraft when I was in arrival hall extending my SIM card ( 249 baht for 8 days ) and marching toward SRT Red line station. On my way I stopped in “Thai street food” stalls in corridor between station and airport and for lack of chicken with cashew nuts offering I had roasted duck with rice for 65 baht. There they still use coupon system, they same like is similar venue at Swampy. One needs to check price of desired dish and purchase proper amount in coupons or alternatively estimate it and unused portion is easily refundable. Dom Muang SRT Red line station Electric train was fast , clean and uncrowded. In Bang Sue station I switched to MRT and went all the way to San Yam station from where it was short walk to Raya. Of course I utilized that shortcut through former Soi Twilight territory ( see below). former soi Twilight seen from Raya's roof My friend and our contributor 18past19 arrived earlier today and stays in the same hotel but I did not disturb him , knowing well what jet lag is and how exciting first day in Bangkok tends to be. Just sent him Line I’m already in then I went to do some shopping and did my usual laundry. Since I travel light my usual first thing in the room, wherever I travel , is to wash my shirt and undies , in Raya they provide even drying rack which one can set on balcony and things are dried in few hours in the sun which was a case today. Then I did walk arround Patpong and Silom checking what changed in 10 days and when I felt hungry I went to soi 4 to treat myself with schnitzel at G’Bangkok . Early in the evening my friend let me know he is free so I went to his room one floor down up for news exchange and see what’s new since last time we saw each other during our respective trips in Dec 2021. We always have plenty to talk about as by God’s grace we are fond of exactly the same types which among other things means we often engage the same guys giving leads or warnings to each other. And no , we never fight over our guys. Tonight we decided to go to Jupiter. I’m big fan of how their boys looks like and how handsome they are but from my first visit in their former location where Moonlight is now I never had luck with offs from there exception being certain two transplants from Tawan. But tonight I was glad to go as I trust my friend’s guts and I wanted to check if certain Handsome Cambodian ( HC) may be there. Since my friend is on good terms with mamasan there we got quite prominent seat as well as good news from mamasan. HC, in whom both my friend and I are independently interested in meeting is not there, went to Pattaya, but mamasan will have his contact. As I said my friend is in contact with mamasan and my stay in Thailand will be longer so I decided to be in the shadows, only hoping I will be able to get a glimpse of him somehow and as they say, see what happens. First he needs to get hold of him anyways. As I said I’m not big fan of Jupiter for no less than five reasons. First I mentioned – never had good off from there. Second, I don’t like sober, smile absent, look of their boys when parading and presenting themselves as it’s hard to assess if they are interested or not, Third, I don’t like their modus operandi when boys are waiting in the shadows , presenting themselves only every half an hour or so during their walkabout or during show if they participate and then back to shadows. Fourth -A/C is usually too cold,. Fifth , music is too loud, sin shared by other bars too like Dreamboys BKK and BBB Pattaya. Tonight though was bit different. A/c was bearable and so was music, at least did not bother me perhaps because I was in better then my normal good mood, having fun meeting my friend. Boys were still in shadows but during their presentation I saw few shy smiles, not directed at me , but my friend and other patrons got few so change of mood for better. Then show which was very entertaining , quite long and with few glimpses of nudity, rare treat at Jupiter. My friend decided to off one of their specimens and noticing that I took interest in another one encouraged me to try. Trusting his judgement I sent few smiles toward the guy , handsome and very well muscled and was shocked he smiled back once and again. In such a case I become Speedy Gonzalez , asked mamasan to bring him over, treated boy with drink (400) , made sure he is willing to go with me ( I always ask “do you want to go with me?” ) and shortly , after drinks were emptied and show finished, 500 baht off fee was paid and all 4 of us were marching to Raya. Who would think it will be monumental, historical day for me ? I offed guy from Jupiter who turned out to be not only well built- normal in their offerings but also well behaved and very enthusiastic, almost more than I could handle. Yahooo , I was happy with my off from Jupiter !!!. I tried to ask him to stay till morning to which he initially agreed but then changed his mind inventing some excuse and saving me some money in process. When he left after good 2 hours I was so happy that I tried to get second servings from Grindr but that did not work, guy priced himself out of my range and was firm with that but so was I and that was reason I finished my day 1 sleeping alone but smiling.

Act I: On our 1st bar night, B said that in Double Shot at 22:00 the boys take their shirts off, so of course we headed there. Nude chests inject erotica into the sex-lessness atmosphere I mentioned in my previous rprt, and indeed it was rewarding to eye-candy them. I like the lean-athletic type. Most of them were nice to ogle at, and I wanted to invite a boy to sit and drink, but all of them were a bit...full, or with just a tiny belly. All of them that is, until I dtctd my dream guy at a corner: taller and browner then the others, perfect flat chest, joyful smile. Alas, he was sitting with another boy at a table with two patrons. Unashamedly I stared as that man did everything I wanted to do. He sat the boy on his lap facing outward, stroked his chest, kissed his back, pinched his nipples, etc. The boy didnt reciprocate, but seemed fine with it. Since there were no signs the patron was going to leave, and since no other alluring boy appeared, after about 30 mnts we left. Not before I asked for the boy's name - Jinno. B is well aquainted with one of the bars' managers, who speaks prfct English. We asked him why dont the rest of the bars emulate this business enhancing shirtlessness idea. He explained that Thai ethics prohibit such copycatting competition. Our loss )-: Act II: The next night I returned alone. Didnt see shirtless Jinno, so I asked where he was. Turned out he way at the back with a cstmr. The boy I asked was the same smiley one who gave me Jinno's name the night before. He jestured he was going to call him; I said 'but he is with cstmr"; smiley wasnt deterred; and for some reason Jinno deserted that guy for me. We sat together for almost an hour, chatting via ggl about the usual stuff. He was rather assertive friendly-like, at one point - without asking permission - downloading Line on my phone and then establishing contact from his. Here is one not hesitant about marketing.... I enjoyed getting up close and prsnl with him just like I had fantasized, and he sometimes put his arms around me or gave a hug or poorly imitated massage movements. Smiley came by a couple of times, one time playfully touching Jinno's groin. I did the same; nothing interesting there. At no time did he even hint at offing, and I didnt try. Had a feeling he's better at being touched than sexed. Jinno had two whiskies on me, and I tipped him 500 b. Great host bar experience. Act III: Having sent B photos of Jinno on my lap and my hands all over him, B decided that we go there again. Good decision for an additional reason. Turned out there was a birthday party for one of the boys. The occasion calls for no shirts off; rather they all wore narrow-fitting white shirts. Looked good. Jinno had no problem unbuttoning a bit for my searching fingers, and we were back to our ystrdy's moves. B found himself another boy, much more proactive than Jinno. He began some dancing moves, which caused B to enthusiastically follow suit, claiming: "Farang CAN dance even if their preference is that we sit"! I wanted to join in, but Jinno claimed he doesnt dance and or that he is tired bcs he didnt sleep well. When I asked why, he said he is worried about his parents. I stopped there, bcs the direction might lead to hints at money... At some point B's guy disappeared, which didnt prvnt generous B from leaving with Jinno a tip for him. To honor the birthday boy, management brought the B-Boys troupe (we saw a couple days before at BBB) to perform. See below sexual act with the embarassed guest of honor, and an impressive fire show. The vids were too heavy/big to upload here, so I attached only snippets. GREAT last night for me at Jomtien Supertown.

what next, chip sewn in their buttock readable by our smartphone ? If we want to learn about them why not to buy them a drink and ask those questions while trying to caress them here and there under the table for an additional tip ?

I believe one of the functions of this platform is to exchange info about providers, incldng pics and cntcts. While practicing this in the Latin America forum, I was vigorously challenged. I explained that when providers explicitly permit posting their info, it works for the benefit of both sides. All of us wld prfr to hire someone who has already been vetted. [Readers already know that I m into mscln.] So here goes. Pop XL solicited me on grndr on my 1st evng there. He isnt XL per se; he might b in Thai terms. Sent good pics. Polite chat and to the point. Answrd "yes" to all my questions. Showed up on time. Looked like his fotos. Btr than avrg english. Went along with evrythng I wanted. Asked for and received 1500 b. He msg-ed me each day later, trying to meet again, but I prfrd being "butterfly" (a local term B taught me). U can find him thru his nick on grindr. Tob was rcmndd by B, who also forwarded to me his whatsapp nmbr. He works at Foxy Smile Massage, 30 mtrs from Agate hotel where I stayed. He asked for 2000; I wrote "too much, everyone else is 1500"; he agreed. For me he is a true eye candy; toned, smooth, handsome. His pic below is the first, tatoo on left shoulder. This was my first massage in Thailand; unlike Cambodia no real therapeutic part at all. Tob began immediatelly with oil-erotic. Within 4 minutes I felt his banana-shaped hard-on, which apparently means he isnt straight & is into mature, and or a true professional. He is very much an erotic pro; very accomodating; left me more than satisfied; and afterwards texted me a sweet thanku. U can find him at the parlor, or thru his Hornet ID: @1hjqyh Big17cm on grndr: Dara isnt really 17 cm, but almost there. Biggest dick I've seen these 3 weeks. He works at Home Bar, and solicited me with the standard sums (1500 st, 2500 lt). Was honest to admit that he doesnt like to suck, and not so good at it. When I voiced my rsrvation about this, he answrd: "I might do well to get you hooked with me", which got me hooked to him... (-: When he showed up he looked like his 4 fotos below. He first brushed his teeth very thoroughly; I did likewise. Then followed him into the shower, where he seemed srprsd that I soaped and rinsed him (love to do that). Then said it was 1st time client does this. I asked if it bothers him; he said "no, it's sweet"... (-: Taught him how to reciprocate; we went into full wet oral mode; dried each other; and off to bed, where he really lived up to his promise to "do well". His almost-17 also felt VERY well. We had a rather long chat. His limited English was the best among providers during this trip. We r used to them telling us about their financial difficulties, for ulterior motives. I was therefor srprsd to hear that in 8 months work in J since he came from Cmbdia, he had saved $1000. Sounds astounding to me, but I see no reason for him to lie about this. We parted after 2 hours; I paid him 2500. Dara is the only guy I met twice during this trip. 2nd time was btr than 1st. He dozed off after the pillow talk, with my dick in his hand. Took a while to extract it without walking him up. It was during that talk that I asked him about publishing his details-fotos; he enthusiastically approved. U can find him at Home Bar or thru his grndr nick. PS - 1st time: A handsome taxi driver texted me from BKK that he wants to come especially to Pattaya just to meet me. Persisted even after I told him I'll b leaving shortly with no chance of dlvpng anything. Said that wasnt his intent; just wanted to meet and sex. I let him down gently, not wanting the rspnsblty of a man wasting 3 hours drvng just to meet me.

I just finished a 2 weeks trip in brazil, overall, it is a great trip. (1) Lagoa in SP, not that great anymore. The house is packed on Friday and Saturday, not good on other days. The owner has hiked the entry price for both garotos and clients by 15R, I heard a few garotos complain about this. And there is never a free cabin day. Even though the house is full on Friday and Saturday, but there are very few garotos that are of great quality. Half long time veterans who have long past their prime days, the other half new comers are really just boys next door type, they will not catch my attention if they walk outside the sauna. Greek god is something Logoa does not have anymore (2) 117 + 202, a lot of fun. I did not expect I can meet so many new guys in Rio this time. 117 is packed + packed on Tuesday, no place to sit. 202 is less packed on Wed, but still a great amount of new faces. And I have met 3-4 new guys in each sauna that I would like to keep seeing in the future.

you will have fun, rest assured. You made right decision, paying 800 baht joiner fee just to see the ocean is a racket In Agate with good luck you may have a view of pool and lush greenery behind it and no problem with visitors. In host bar have a seat, buy yourself a drink and look around. If you see guy you like , invite him over, buy him a drink and if after conversation you still interested ask him if he will go with you . Chances are he will propose first ! You pay off fee 300-500 baht depending on bar and of both ( or three) of you go. Let as know how you did as promised

There is much to comment regarding your post; I will try a little. You said there were none that were offable, but all of them are available to off, although you did say for yourself. What is effeminate or twinkish to you can be desirable to someone else. Like you said, the boys do try to entice you into the bars with their banter, but then do not sit with the customer, that is true. All one has to do is ask them to sit and they will do so immediately. If they do sit with you, buy them a drink and give them a tip of 100 Baht. If you like them then a bigger tip is appropriate. Many farang like to sit with friends and chat and often don't want a boy to sit with them. But then the right boy appears and that can change quickly. I often see boys being offed as I enjoy my drink; you will see them walking down the soi with a farang which means he has offed them. Another poster bkkmfj asked about meeting other farangs. That is not easy! Most farang I know are wary regarding meeting others, for better or worse. It can be a tricky situation at times. There really are so many odd balls out there! Best way is at some sort of gathering where one can chat a bit but such gatherings are not common. It has taken me years to develop relationships with others and usually through friends of friends. Being polite and asking some simple questions may help in meeting others. Getting to know one person is a good start and go from there. I doubt that a bar crawl would draw much of a response. And regarding alcohol, many farang are sparse drinkers if at all while others can't get enough. Double Shot was mentioned as having horniness in the air! The boys there are straight and can be offed for 500 Baht, but how they perform is anyone's guess. I never got a direct report on what happens and am looking forward to that report. Hope that these comments will be of some help.

I’m very excited to be going to Thailand again, in January. The last time I was there was in June/July this year which was the first time after a 2.5 year absence. This trip will only be very short as it will be book ended by family commitments in the Philippines and then work commitments back home. Thanks to some suggestions here I’ve decided to spend 2 days in Pattaya and 4 days in Bangkok. In Pattaya I originally wanted to stay at Welcome World Beach Resort as I wanted a room with an ocean view, so I messaged them on Line to check what their joiner policy was, but they didn’t get back to me for nearly 2 days so I booked other accommodation in the meantime. Turns out they charge 800 baht for joiners which I’m not really prepared to pay. I ended up booking at the Agate which I have not stayed at before but seems to be positively reviewed. I can just go to the beach during the day. The last time I was in Jomtien I didn’t have the best time as I was a little unprepared as to how the host bars work, so I’ll read up on that. There are also the apps, which I found to be successful as I met a bar boy there and subsequently offed him 3 times. As for Bangkok, I’ve booked at the Tarntawan as I’ve stayed there before and I’ve found it comfortable and affordable, and I do like the security aspect that the guys have to leave their ID at the door/reception. It’s only a short trip so I plan to fit in as much as I can (might have to start early and have 2 guys per night lol), but I am very much looking forward to it. Trip report to come!

There is also Lucifer on Walking Street with a mixed crowd.

I must take you to task @BlkSuperman for the title of this thread. Reading what you have written, I discern that you have some interest in “big dicks”. So I say this with love and respect… It may seem a technicality but since you will be paying for male company, you are NOT a “WHORE”. Given how excited your utterances by text are, I’m fairly sure that you are indeed a “SLUT”

Dear @12is12 thanks for the memories with all of these hot photos. I am only 3 months into my new retirement life in Jomtien and that night out with you at Double Shot was my BEST night so far in the Jomtien Complex. All the energy was right that night --> as the erotica was definitely injected into the Complex!!! You forgot to mention that you also danced - so I was not the only farang dancing at Double Shot. Dancing brings out the energy in us so that we don't have to feel geriatric with the guys constantly saying, "falang sit down - falang drink". Our rebuttal that night was, "Farang / falang CAN dance - and dance we did!!"

This is one of the oddest and most adorable BLs ever. The episodes are short

looks like it and not only that, one of competitor for 'Men of Twilight: tittle was Boom, # 15 , famous hoola-hop performer from Jupiter. Good new is , at least they are trying to find their niche in the market. If that involves presence of girls, it's ok as long as they don't scream or bite.

Recommended by someone in another forum, last year I got to read THE RICE QUEEN DIARIES by Daniel Gawthrop. I enjoyed the book, especially the chapters about his travels and life in Thailand. Even though the book is almost 20 years old and due to my age I started visiting Thailand and Asia much later than the author, I could relate to some of the places and feelings described in the book. I would like to know if anyone can help me find other books with similar subject and theme? So something along the lines of gay scene/life in Thailand or any other Asian country, preferably seen from a foreigner's perspective and published in the last 20-30 years. Heading to BKK in 10 days and I usually prefer books over movies or music for passing time on a flight.

Jomtien Complex - Supertown is compact: 4 short streets, connected by 3 L-shaped turns, excluding the 2 bigger streets on its rims. Better understood by viewing the map just posted bu bkk (B). It boasts about 30 bars, 9 massage parlors, 10 cafes/rstrnts, and 4 main hotels. In the longest and main part, a roof covers the pedestrian street/lane (as shown in the photos below). That's where the main noisy action is, 20:00-02:00. 3-4 bars hold cabaret performances, the most impressive is Venue's. Walking along parlors or bars, boys approach with "hello mister, u want massage / sit / drink.... ?". Some here have dscrbd this as a hassle, to b avoided sometimes by taking shortcuts. Although I found next to no one offable (most being effiminate or twinkish or not my taste), during my 6 nights there I didnt feel annoyed by them. Au contraire; I always answered "no thank u", and/or shaked my head for "no". If they came closer to engage, I bantered with them; when they took my hand or touched me, I used the opportunity to caress them. Though by the third day they prbbly understood I wont b tempted, they persisted and it was just fine by me. Indeed, once when I was at Delice buying cookies, I bought some extras, and offered them to the massage boys in front of Soda and the 2 parlors close by. They were pleasantly surprised. As I checked into Agate, I started recieving apps solicitations from 1-200 mtrs away. Given there r at least 300 guys working around there, I later wondered why only a miniscule nmbr of them use apps to market themselves. As mentioned in my 3rd rprt I prefer the apps method, so all my meetings were cooked this way. I went into bars 4 times. The 1st was Venue; they got my attention bcs of the cabaret. I sat, watched, didnt see any offable staff, and rspndd to apps messages. The show was not as good as BBB's, but certainly enjoyable (though repetitive). After an hour+ a match clicked in grindr, so I retired to my hotel room. The other 3 bar visits were at Double Shot, which rate a rprt by itself. Two things surprised me. 1. Most farangs were sitting by themselves, pairs or groups. Very few were sitting with boy, usually in silence and looking bored. Depite intense people watching I didnt see even one instance of what would look like an off. 2. There's no erotica / horniness in the air, despite sex persumably being uppermost in the minds of most present. Didnt see any farang lust or any temptatious boy. Or maybe I dont know how to read.... I liked Jomtien Supertown; the concept, the atmosphere, people watching (boys and cstmrs). Doing that with B was an added value bcs he is such an expert watcher. (-:

I arrived in Thailand for the first time 20 years ago on a Northwest Airlines 747, landing at Don Mueang. Could believe what I saw out the window: a golf course running between the parallel runways! I think there are few readers who haven't flown the 747 at least once in their lifetime. From National Public Radio The very last 747 jet has been made, ending a run of more than 50 years The jet transformed an industry, bringing luxurious amenities and lengthy nonstop flights to the masses — all in a design that was both enormous and elegant. But the reign of the mighty 747 has ended, and Boeing says the last plane left its assembly line this week, after 54 years of production. "For more than half a century, tens of thousands of dedicated Boeing employees have designed and built this magnificent airplane that has truly changed the world," Kim Smith, Boeing's vice president and general manager of the 747 and 767 programs, said as the company announced the end of production. Since production of the 747 began in 1967, Boeing says, 1,574 of the airplanes were built. It started carrying commercial passengers in January 1970, when Pan Am used a 747 for a flight from New York to London. The huge jet that shrank the world The 747 was a hit at the Paris Air Show in 1969, and more than two dozen airlines raced to put the airliner into service, luring travelers with the 747's promise of comfort and unprecedented range. People in the U.S. suddenly had an appealing option to visit Hawaii — which was then a very young state. And cities around the world became more interconnected by direct flights. The huge plane was touted as a win for middle-class travelers, under the idea that airline prices would become more affordable if carriers could fit more people onto a single flight. But that dynamic changed in later years, as the aviation industry saw a growing preference for smaller, more fuel-efficient planes and less focus on crowded, hub-to-hub flights. The 747's star has been dimming — U.S. carriers phased it out in 2017 — but it had another moment in 2020, when a British Airways 747, aided by strong winds, traveled from New York to London in 4 hours, 56 minutes, setting a new record for the fastest subsonic commercial flight across the Atlantic.

Hello All: On another trip into Rio now, have also been a digital nomad from here part of the time. Internet seems better than pre COVID. When Bolsonaro lost the election in November, like Trump in the US, lots of lying and unlike the US, lots of street "issues", mostly shows of support more than any bad trouble. Tons of police followed to ensure the peace. During the World Cup (FIFA) Brazil matches the town seems to close during the actual match, even supermarkets and drug stores. Perhaps true country wide. When Brazil lost to Croatia, the town seemed to deflate, at least until the Argentina match an hour later ! So, I assume things will normalize here during matches again. When given a chance, the locals are very nice. More than once I have miscounted my R$ bills and extra bills have always been returned. When dropping things out of torn supermarket bags, folks always let me know. I do speak some PT and SP – it helps a great deal. However, I am in no way conversant in PT. I meet several new people each day even if in a line or over a drink. Folks are very friendly here. To allow anonymity, I will not mention names. I met someone who I believe has posted here. From far away. Super nice and speaks more PT than me. Suggested an apt vs hotel and to try staying someplace besides Copa. Great advice. Someone else suggested Leblon, and it is indeed much nicer than Copa. En francais, plus sympa et chic. Yes, it is more expensive. But in sheer Euros, Pounds (Europe’s new “Peso”), or Dollars, not a great increase in costs. Yes, less overall to do as well, but not many people sleeping on the street or begging either. The bars are more like in Europe, so yes, less authentic Brazilian. On and off over the past weeks the Boys (GPs) and selection have varied greatly. I made mistakes by not asking for their contact info. That said, I do enjoy having different GPs each time. Busy times tend to be later than noted on some postings. Perhaps due to FIFA games. 1930 hrs has often been a good time. Best times I have noted: Tues at 177, Weds at 201/202, Fri at 117, usually good after FIFA matches or 1800-2100 hrs (when shows start). Compared to prior trips (pre COVID) fewer younger guys on Grindr, Hunqz and such. The cdn.garotocomlocal.com.br website and telechapero website can help fill needs as well. I have not used them, but the GPs are very hot. As for gay bars, there are several just to the west of the Arcos do Lapa. Rua Riachuelo, Rock Experience (or similar name) has a gay night sometimes. A bit further NW on Ave. Mem de Sa are several gay bars (obvious walking by). After MN and perhaps best at 0200 hrs. I did not enter, as many hanging out outside the clubs seemed to be groups of friends and my PT is not that good. In Copa to the south, is LaCueva, R Miguel Lemos 51. I had fun last Saturday night. Rumor has it there are some younger guys who like older guys there and at Rock Experience. I did not enter the latter. At La Cueva the age range was 50+ to old embalming fluid for most customers. There were a few guys perhaps 35-45 yrs old with their daddies. Not a pick up bar from my 1 night’s experience. I danced by myself to videos from the late 70s to 90s. Cover that night was 50R$ and included 2 drinks, not just crap beer. Fair price. Music was not too loud. Uber at 2am from Lapa to LaCueva was under 20 R$, and it is a long trip, 15 minutes I think. The Week (party club) occurs Saturday night, Sunday at 2-5 am in centro. I did not go. I am not 25 anymore and my 6 pack is long gone. But if I spoke better PT I might have gone. In the daytime, there are 2 places for play. Cinelandia, in a back alley next to the RJ City Admin offices, R Alvaro Alvim, west side: one is called Sexy Rose and has cabins and some gay porn, plus dark room. Total mix of folks, young, old, BR and foreigners, etc. Trannies are rare. No pay for play that I ever noted. Just to the south, about 2 doors down in the alley is a cinema showing straight porn. No obvious sign that I could tell. Like an old West End Theatre or movie house from a hundred years ago, but you cannot tell this from the street. Older guys and some younger guys. Younger can be free to do. Some are pay to play, 20-50R$. Several trannies sometimes. I find both to be enormously fun sometimes. You never know, but I have met folks for future stuff at the Rose more than once. Multiple BJs and multiple anal encounters almost always possible, even on weekends. I start at the cine for an hour and move to the Rose to finish (Start at noon / 1300 hrs, and leave the Rose around 1600 hrs). Then eat, then 117 – which for me is a long walking distance away. Might not be the style for others. When I cum I still often go to the GP places to follow. Grindr: I seem to do better when near centro or in Gloria than in Copa these days. LOL. Not so many 20-25 yr old guys now vs pre COVID. Meet at their place. Yes, I know, always an element of risk. Security and ATM cards: I feel pretty safe. I do not drink much and with my looks I could be mistaken for a local until I speak much. I can speak a few works of PT in most situations, same as a local. My dress is well sort of crappy when I am out and about here, but I think the locals know I am not BR. If I hear footsteps behind me, I do turn and look the others in the eye, but not in a nasty way. I also keep to streets with others in them at night. No guarantee of safety though. Always have ATM issues abroad. Call your bank, etc before leaving on a trip to give a travel alert, always have more than 1 card on you and at least one left in your room. ATMs like at the M stations often have fees added. Some banks reimburse these costs. Some do not. My cards work only at some BR bank ATMs and not others. Always decline any attempt from the ATM or POS device for a currency conversion. In BR it will cost you 8-15% - and for nothing – just a bank rip off. When I go to 117 or 201/202, I always try to have over 500 in cash on me in case I get too horny. I often see punters paying the house bill by cc or debit card. Yes, the drink prices are not inexpensive. I often buy a drink for me and the GP before or after a programma. In BR always let a business know if your card is debit or credito in advance. Tapping the card reader almost always works. Yes, there often a conversion fee from your bank or cc company. It could be as low as 1%. Experience has taught me the best cards to use abroad. Use lots of sunblock at the beach – better to be a bit un tanned than being burned !! If anyone on the forums is in Rio now, feel free to say hello Ciao !!

Grindr and scruff have been very weird lately. Five times in 3 days just before completing arrangements for a meet up for R$, the Boy's profile disappears. Perhaps I am having worse luck than the highly rated national football teams (at FIFA, a strangely high number of top rated teams have lost matches). Love Hotels: One of the hottest possible GPs I saw was walking towards 117 from the M Gloria area. I was about to say hello. Then he crossed the street and went to the Alameda Hotel (Love Motel) across from 117. Oh well. There is at least 1 love hotel / motel in Cinelandia near Sexy Rose on the parallel street to the west. In mid south Copa there is the Vanity Hotel. I think there is another in Copa near Leme, and another might be in Leblon. I have not been to any of these places this trip. Nor have I seen anyone else here post about using them. At 100 R$ or so (cost prior to COVID) seems a very safe place to romp with someone if 117 or pointe is too far away or if you do not require the social scene, etc. I have used Vanity in the past even for non GP encounters when neither of us was hosting. The rooms were clean.

Dear all, I have been asked to create a topic for the Jomtien Complex - Supertown. The related official website can be found at: https://www.gaysupertown.com/ Extracted map from the above official web site is shown below - but please note that this map is as of 10 Dec 2022, and will become dated over time. Please use the above web site link for a refreshed map.

Sadly Nab has closed, but Dragon Club on the old GStar site near Hollywood is mostly gay. Sinlapin Isan is huge and welcomes everyone and very popular with my gay friends. The list of karaoke bars is almost endless - all the gay boys you meet in Pattaya or Jomtien will have their favourite and will happily let you take them there haha. So no need for research really, let the boys do it for you. Best to go as a small group, you, your boy and at least one friend. Karaoke bars, certainly the larger ones, are more clubs than true karaoke bars, and they can get expensive if there is a group of you all drinking whisky and calling down boys from the line-ups to party with you. But they are huge fun!

Pattaya is full of clubs and karaoke bars; not many that are exclusively gay, but many that usually have a substantial gay customer base, that only come alive from about 1am and then until about 4am or 5am.

Report from Dec 11, 2022. I went there. It is expensive. It is very beautiful and clean and showers in each room. The boys are drop dead gorgeous. I paid 1050 for a massage. This does not include tip which is not expected and no sexual services. I tried. And, I tried. It was a no go with the two guys I was with this week. However, for me, I love just a really good massage and I paid 600-800 for a local massage from a lady so the extra from a hot sexy guy is worth it for me. I'll be back again.

Tarntawan and Agate! I'm envious. They were two of the three hotels we stayed in last month and I'm sure you'll be equally delighted. If you are interested in swimming, try the smaller of the two pools at Agate. The chances are that you'll be on your own. And take a few minutes to look at the hotel's displays in the corridors. Absolutely fascinating....my partner wouldn't go anywhere without gazing lovingly at the quartz, agate and other precious stones.

Vinapu writes,"I don’t like the sober, smile absent look....." We may not agree on what constitutes a good-looking guy but, boy, am I with you there! give me a smile, particularly a shy one, and I'm anybody's!

thank you , that was exactly reason for such long post. Angkor Wat , Bayon , Banteai Srei and Ta Prohm are on every tour itinerary and for good reason but there's so much more indeed even in close proximity to Siem Reap (those mentioned above as well as Western and Eastern Mebon, Rolous group , Ta Keo, Phnom Krom in the hill overlooking Tonle Sap lake ) not to mention more distant already mentioned above as well as pre Angkoroan temple group of Sambor Prei Kuk, all reachable within 1 day trip from Siem Reap .

i got to Rio yesterday and my Brazilian friend had 4 Brazilians at his house so i spy the afternoon there 😈! we went to pointe at 6:00 and i did a message/sex session with one of the masseuses , then i was a chloe muscular guy who i never saw before, he said he just got to Rio from SP and had never been to pointe before! We went up to a room and he was amazing! a really nice guy! i am seeing him again tonight! after leaving pointe we hooked up with 3 of the guys that had earlier been at my friends apt., i had sex with two of them(it was a great 3 way, then one stayed and spent the night with me. He left at noon today and is coming back tomorrow. A guy who i originally met 15 years ago at 117, is driving uber now and he is coming over to spend the night, after i get back from pointe. i love ❤️ Brazil!!

For the past six weeks, the local and international media have been carrying accounts of raids on multiple locations in the Bangkok and Pattaya area where Chinese triad gangsters were operating upscale gambling and drug dens catering almost exclusively to wealthy Chinese. Here's an excerpt from an article in today's South China Morning Post (the remainder of story sits behind a paywall). Some of it reads like something out of John Burdett's Bangkok 8. "A seized private jet, supercars, drugs and palatial mansions: the spoils of crime committed by suspected Chinese gangsters based in Thailand are raising awkward questions over how foreign criminals have freely moved millions of dollars of illicit money through the kingdom. The scandal began to unfold in late October, when a nationwide anti-drugs operation by the Thai police unearthed a cavernous illegal nightlife den – called Jinling – hidden behind a car wash in Bangkok’s Sathorn commercial district. It catered to a near-exclusive Chinese clientele, serving up bags of ketamine and other party drugs in karaoke rooms that raged through the night, allowing guests to stash any unfinished drugs for their next visit." ===================== The scope of the triads' activities doesn't seem to be limited to drugs and gambling. Human trafficking has previously been reported as a lucrative ASEAN-wide endeavor. Although the major Thai news sites have covered the evolving expose, the Bangkok Post has probably focused most intently on it. Unfortunately, those articles also reside behind a paywall. The Thai Examiner's accounts are available on line: https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/11/03/police-see-new-threat-from-chinese-kingpins/

Yes, Tob is also on grndr, but I was told that he tends to switch profiles there.

St 3000 , I don't remember now if that was what he wanted or I paid him extra being so nicely surprised with his performance. My friend who offed more of their boys says that with few exceptions of most popular guys like Boom their rate is regular 2000 contrary to legend of them being expensive , I have no reason to doubt what he is saying. for overnight he quoted 5000 to which I, again being so excited, agreed but luckily for my wallet he found some excuse and changed his mind.

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.

To be honest, the guys there have not caught my eye. Only the twinkish waiters have. I hope they are still there!

Why am I such a whore? I'm too excited about this trip to Rio. I usually have phone numbers to a few if the guys who I've been with in rio, but since changing phones, they've all been deleted. Luckily, I did a tour a few years ago with this very friendly brazalian so I thought I'd reach out to him this morning to see if he could help Trust me guys, when I arrive I will have daily pics and videos for your enjoyment. I'm so HORNED UP and DRIPPING.WET FROM THIS TRIP!

I am sure we all have many memories of that marvellous aircraft. My first 747 flight was on an Air France 747 from Paris to Kong Kong in March 1979. As the -100 and -200 series could not make the flights from Europe to Asia in one go, refuelling stops were necessary. British Airways had exclusive rights for London/Hong Kong with a daily flight that had one refuelling stop in Bahrain and then went on to Sydney after Hong Kong. My Air France flight stopped in Dubai, Bombay and Bangkok before an extra long final sector to Hong Kong. This was a result of Vietnam's airspace being closed as it had only weeks earlier fought a border war with China. That meant an extra hour to detour around the foot of Vietnam. But I loved every minute of that flight. Like @vinapu I was twice on 747s with virtually no passengers. Just before a flight from Hong Kong to Melbourne, I slipped a lower disc in my back. As I knew the secretary to the company chairman, I cheekily asked her if there might be any chance of an upgrade to first (business class had only recently been introduced and was not much better than economy seating on Cathay Pacific in those days). It so happened I was upgraded and it was the eve of Chinese New Year. No one was flying! There were 23 passengers in total! The other occasion was during the first Gulf War on a Northwest flight from Tokyo to Hong Kong. Once again there were few people travelling. As you left Immigration at Narita you could see into an Immigration office which had a large chalk board on the opposite wall with all the departing flights and the estimated passenger loads. i could not believe it when I saw that my NW flight had around 30 passengers. The worst flight was on Air China between Beijing and Hong Kong in 1985. There was only one flight between the cities in those days and it left at 7:30 am. So my colleague and I had to be up early to check in by 6:00. Reaching the departure island we saw our flight was a 747. But it had a problem as a two-hour delay was announced! This became 4 hours as we noticed men in overalls using a rickety set of stairs and rather large hammers and spanners to work on an engine. I soon decided I'd prefer not to take that plane, but there ws no choice. By 10:30 we were allowed to board. 30 minutes later we had to disembark again. Over the tanoy we learned that the flight had been cancelled. We were informed we would eventually be informed how we were going to get back to Hong Kong. As lunch time came and went, the small cafeteria was very quickly out of small eats. Around 2:00 pm ladies came round distributing small boxes of rice and chicken. Still no news of how we'd get to Hong Kong. I would have loved to go back into the city to relax in a hotel, but our visas had been cancelled on check in. At around 5:00 pm another Air China 747 arrived and disgorged its pasengers. We soon discovered this had come in from San Francisco with an intermediate stop in Shanghai. By 6:30 we were finally allowed to board that plane, taking off around 45 minutes later. Our relief soon turned to concern when chatting to one of the flight attendants. She told us the entire crew, including the pilots, were those who had arrived from San Francisco! By this time they must have been on duty for at least 20 hours. Ahead of them would be another 6 hours before the plane had returned to Beijing. We were delighted when that plane landed safely! Many passengers seemed to dislike Northwest for their Pacific flights. I was the opposite but then I was lucky to be in business class for my several dozen flights. I always loved their small 16-seat business class on the 747's upper deck. After dinner, the flight attendant would leave the drinks trolley parked at the front of the cabin. I always unashamedly would go up to it and tke a few small bottles to refresh me at my destination!

We need a whorehouse on the beachfront, so @floridarobwill learn where The Beach is.

The new establishments in the Dick Cafe soi and its adjoining corner have done wonders for the Complex as a whole.

you were still lucky then, 21 years ago we were climbing using other set of steps , now out of bounds (photo below), I don't even recall any ropes along to help go up or down. It really felt like an adventure then

Preah Vihar, Banteai Samre and Ta Som for me please, not that I have anything against Bayon or Angkok Wat indeed other that they are too popular and thus usually crowded. In 2016 I skipped Bayon entirely for that reason, this time is was quite empty but I was early

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 :>))

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

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

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

Nothing wrong with discussing medical topics on the internet. Where do you want to discuss, at Starbucks? Just research from reliable sources. I go by studies and then make my own decisions and sometimes ask my doctor. You need to be proactive because many doctors are overwhelmed with patients and don’t have a lot of time to spare. Bring notes and ask questions. Doctors are great at giving the bad news with results but they don’t have time to give preventive advice. They usually ask if I’ve ever smoked, and check blood pressure. Good stuff but they leave out things. For instance, had my gall bladder removed and now cannot produce bile. So I need some fat in my diet to absorb the fat soluble vitamins. I’ve had shingles since 2009. When I asked my doctor about the Shingrix vaccine she was not receptive to it. So I received it from a local pharmacy and have only had one outbreak since. I asked to get my zinc level checked and she said no as I was taking a multiple vitamin, no need. There’s things like taking vitamin k-2 to prevent calcium from going into your arteries and instead going into your bones. My friend is an example of not being proactive. He’s way overweight but eats at fast food places like Popeyes. He never thinks about his diet or exercise but just waits to see results from his doctor. Sadly his wife is the same way and now cannot do more dialysis and is waiting for a kidney donor. I’m not saying I’m an expert, far from it. I’ve consumed too much sugar most of my life, probably why I had my gall bladder removed. But I read as much as I can and have discussions on social media about health. Just take it with a grain of salt, oops no, that raises blood pressure!

Not this old chestnut again. Its origins lie in another forum a few years ago and the posts it produced were sickening. I'm not surprised you "saw nothing of that"; it was always a fantasy propagated by a couple of individuals toying with racial stereotypes. I cannot believe there 's a safer place to wander at night than Pattaya....as long as you watch out for all the traffic, not just fantasy Arabs on motorcys! Not to mention broken pavements.

So-whilst I now sit a bit bored in the UK- I figure it is not the old Golden Cock, but a little further-that would mean the building that was many moons ago erected as a new gay-centre-to-be from the owners of what today is Moonlight (behind the Suriwong HTL) if my old memory still has it. It failed miserably as such in a few monthes-so I hope this predestiny will not fall again. The former fairly rich offerings in this and side sois have also dwindled to just Nature Boy (merged with the remains of the G Cock) and perhaps still SuperA?-in the narrow side soi off.
