  2. Bingo! In the run up to Murderous Vlad's invasion of Ukraine, @tassojunior posted all kinds of photos claiming they were things they weren't over on Company of Men. And, no, Tasso, "US hegemony" is NOT what forced murderous Vlad to illegally deport children to Russia, earning him a rare arrest warrant for a nation's leader from the ICC. You do realize how easy it is to reverse image search on Google. Right, Tasso? So here again we have a picture you posted that has nothing to do with what you claim it represents. I was fanatically against the Iraq War. So if you want a cheerleader on the point that the US went way too far, lied to the US public and the world, and weakened our military, political, and moral force, I'll cheer that idea. That mouthful said, I don't mind being the kettle to Murderous Vlad's genocidal pot. Or should I say genocidal plot? The picture you posted above has nothing to do with your alleged US soldiers killing 4 year old Iraqi boys. You know that, right? You know you just made shit up, right? Why do you just make shit up, Tasso? Usually disinformation has a purpose. What's yours? The picture is worth a paragraph on, since it both demonstrates and refutes your point. That picture ran in Der Spiegel as an example of US war crimes in Afghanistan. That's an innocent and dead 15 year old Afghan boy who was farming in a field. The soldier pictured is Cpl. Jeremy Morlock,, who comes from Wasilla, Alaska of all places. He was part of a self-appointed "Kill Team" who murdered three innocent Afghan civilians, In the boy's case they threw a grenade at him and opened fire with a machine gun. That's a war crime, for sure. The guy who did that, along with chopping a few of the boy's fingers off as a souvenir, got life in prison. Morlock got 24 years. About a dozen US soldiers were investigated for the crimes. A number of them were dishonorably discharged and punished based on the severity of what they did. For example, Sgt. Darren Jones got seven months in prison for assaulting another soldier and firing on (but not injuring) innocent Afghans who did not pose a threat to him. So, yes. War is hell. And it does bring out both the best and worst in people. So why did Murderous Vlad start a hell of a war in Ukraine? The above example demonstrates that the US military does hold its own accountable. By this standard, you would surely agree that, based on the ICC, Murderous Vlad should be held accountable, too, and spend the rest of his life in prison for the horrific things he has done to Ukrainian children. Right, Tasso?

  3. This is a newcomer to the Bogota Chapigay scene. A former discotheque has been reinvented as a male Gogo bar with private dances in the backroom cabanas. Hours currently are Wednesday - Saturday (Sunday nights on holiday weekends only) I tried to visit on three occasions to give a fair assessment, but a hail storm today knocked out power to a number of Chapinero bars/clubs. So I only got to experience this place twice. The club is essentially two rooms with a rear hallway of private dance cabanas. The stated rate is 60.000COP for a dance, but tips and extras will set you back at least 100.000COP. The layout of the club is odd, as the Go-go's stage is at the front of the club by the bar. This means everyone is crammed into the tiny room by the bar either "watching" the show or getting a lap dance on one of the four couches provided. It makes for close quarters which I guess is part of the attraction. The second, larger room at the back is quieter and has better bar seating. Good spot to chat away from the frenzy, but it was clear that this was no-man's land and the dancers did not solicit in this room. Other note -- the drug dealing in the club was obvious and active. There were multiple dealers in the room providing "dulces' for those interested. If that is the Bogotá experience you are looking for... Finally, the boys: I was impressed the diversity in body types and skin tones compared to the competition. There were plenty of boys to choose from -- at least 15 on a Saturday night (and I was told they had several call in due to the torrential storm). Some were simply slinging dope (see previous paragraph) while others where openly organizing private dates at the end of the night. Many were offering WhatsApp contact information to hook up outside the club. Its not as polished as Gigolo Erotic House, but it's a good alternative in a rapidly gentrifying neighbourhood.

There's a couple places on Rama IV that I go to (just around the corner of Surawong), Chula is one and the other is a small store next to it, never had any problems getting my medication (without prescription) from either but I do take in the empty pill packet so they can see exactly what I need.

  6. Glad to see a review of a Foam Massage. In the straight Thai scene, they are called "Soapies" and are very common. That is not the situation for gay massages, not sure why. Helios seems to occupy the same premises as the old Blue Massage, which also used to specialise in them.

  7. People should feel free to chime in if they wish with their own reports. I know people enjoy hearing what's going on now. Fresh Boys After being here a week I finally went to a gogo tonight. Fresh Boys was on the agenda. I remembered all of the reasons why I usually avoid gogos these days. Pushy mamasan who wouldn't stop touching me. When I arrived I was the only customer so the pressure of all those eyes on me was intense. Too many people asking for tips for doing absolutely nothing. For a Monday night there ended up being a decent-sized crowd for the show (which began at 10:15). I'd guess there were around 20 or so people there at the peak and somewhere in the neighborhood of 25 boys of various shapes and sizes. I'd reckon about a half dozen would have been possible offs for me. Drinks 400, off fee 500. The show was not especially exciting. Several drag queen lip syncs, a dance number by 4 boys, the usual things like the candle wax show, big cock show, the boys banging on the pole with their poles. Mr Boy #31 was everywhere in the show - handsome, tall, lean, defined guy with a big cock. I didn't really intend to off anyone until a spur of the moment decision to take Mr. Lam #8 out of the bar. Skinny, young Vietnamese boy with a surprisingly big cock. I really had my eye on #5 who I think was the best looking boy in the bar face-wise. I always have had a thing for blonds and Asian boys with blond dyed hair do it for me. But he was otherwise occupied by someone else as the show neared its end. Maybe another time.

  8. Good representative description. I would add that the street is saturated with bars and people milling about on the sidewalk, a big contrast with Gigolo and its home lighting fixture stores and seemingly one barking dog nearby that might startle the shit out of you if you’re walking by it while looking up to find the venue sign. I went once and took one private dance and his phone number. He seemed a bit pleasantly surprised when I handed him 100K. You can get a sense of the ambience via TikTok where the venue has a periodic presence but not all of the clips stay up.

  9. From Thai News Agency BANGKOK, March 20 (TNA) – His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn has endorsed a decree to dissolve parliament, paving the way for elections. The royal decree on House dissolution has been published in the Royal Gazette and takes effect immediately. An election must be held in 45-60 days after the house resolution. Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said he expected the Election Commission to announce the election date this Friday and it would likely be held on May 14. (TNA)

  15. That advantage can be attractive. I have once heard a knock on the door ("HOUSEKEEPING") around 11 am when I was fully inside a grinder boy who had just turned up 30 minutes before that. It is so easy to forget to put the "do not disturb" sign up when your boy is so handsome that the only thing you can think of is to kiss him and start undressing him.😍 I had to pull out and walk to the door to tell them to come back later, because I was worried that they would enter if I didn't reply.🤫

  16. I tried several of the shops around Saphan kwai or Sutthisan Winitchai Rd and I liked all of them except 27M Massage, where I tried two boys, both no good at all. I did not have a chance to try 15M but if it is the same management as 27M I am not surprised that it was lacking in quality. My favorite on that road is BT House Men Massage on the south side of Sutthisan Winitchai Rd. I think they really try them out themselves before letting them massage a customer (a job I would love to have!!!)

  17. That is no guarantee even if I recommended in good faith and with clear conscience guy who I know from many encounters , both massages and long time offs . But there are still things like chemistry or daily mood of ours or boy's which may derail things. I had this before with well rehearsed boy from BBB Inn whom I liked and recommended to one our our members whose experience was very unsatisfactory due to unexpected factor - lack of discretion. Boy unsolicited showed him pictures of some of his customers, apparently nothing compromising but he was put off. Surprising for me too as boy in question never produced such an exhibition to me in our several encounters. Second thing we need to remember that one statistic sample is not a base to formulate hypothesis. Neither excellent nor bad experience can't be treated as sign of things to come. While I sympathize with reader's remarks that bad and nasty reviews will stick with boy or place forever even if undeserved and made in heat of moment I must say that at times they may be fully deserved when boy clearly showed bad will. Fake pictures , unless disclaimed in profile already as such, fully deserve scorn and disclosure. Even worse- cases when boy clearly did not have any intention to keep his side of bargain. Those who read my Jan trip report can recall clear illustration of such behavior on part of guy I called CCP (Cambodian Charming Prince). It happens rarely but it does and we can wax lyrical about human dignity only to certain extend - but if asshole is called asshole no harm done if label sticks to him and warning is issued far and wide as long as it's deserved and explained why. But as always when throwing mud, before doing that we must be 100% sure is deserved. Since often there's doubt is better to exercise discretion in both making bad reviews and acting (or not) upon them. I'm still glad that despite warning from one of my most trusted forum friends years ago I engaged certain M from Senso , one of my best meets ever.

  18. In 21 years I can hardly recall more than a handful of disappointing experiences. I'm sure there are at least that many masseurs who were disappointed in me. I've never felt compelled to "warn" others. The guy could have been just having a bad day. I chalked it up to experience and moved on. You seem to think informing members that a masseur may have not given you what you considered proper oral or anal satisfaction is more important than posting an opinion that never goes away. Sorry, that's a "gain" I'm quite content to forego.

  19. From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon The latest parliamentary bill to legalize some sex work won’t be passed any time soon. A general election is scheduled in May and no one can predict who will be the next crop of lawmaking representatives. Moreover, there is bound to be a rearguard action by conservatives who believe that legalizing paid-for sex is an affront to Buddhist principles. The proposal envisages that female and male sex workers over 20 will no longer be breaking the law provided they enrol with businesses registered with the police or provincial governors and subject themselves to health checks. There will be a range of protections ranging from the right to receive government handouts to rescue centers to prevent violence and trafficking. Sex workers under 20 will be not be prosecuted, but business operators and parents will face “consequences”. Although the reforms have been welcomed by many campaigners, some sex workers say they won’t work out. Former prostitute and drag star Eggs Benedict said, “Many sex workers are part-time and temporary and they won’t fancy being registered on a government data base.” She also argued that prostitution was not limited to brothels or clubs with back rooms. “You can see sex on the beachfront and on certain streets. To deny that is like going to KFC and denying you saw fried chicken.” Arna, who has worked in Pattaya’s Sexy Soi Six for eight years, said, “Most girls I know are not trafficked or forced into sex by bar and club owners. They can leave whenever they like.” She added that prostitution has changed a lot over the years. “Mobile phones and the internet mean that customers can now contact women for hire without ever stepping foot in a bar.” She also suggested that if prostitution became legal, the problem of overseas sex workers from Uzbekistan and other countries would become worse. “The police mostly ignore them as it is, so what would change?” Gay sex workers also expressed some cautiousness. “Many gogo boys don’t identify as gay, but are in the clubs to make money,” said Off who manages a cabaret show in Boyztown. Some have daytime jobs with families to support, so the idea of them signing up with the police or city hall is a non-starter.” He doubted whether trafficking was a significant issue in the gay scene. “Occasionally, you see underage boys being promoted on social media but the technology police are very vigilant these days about pedophile activity.” All prostitution has been illegal in Thailand since the 1960s. The 1996 law on prevention and suppression detailed the penalties, some of which are minimal: for example, loitering in a public place for indecent purposes brings a fine of around US$20. Prostitution campaigners say that it is high time for Thailand for update its legislation. Angela Barthold, of the International Women’s Rights Campaign, said, “The latest bill is a step in the right direction. The fact that it doesn’t solve every single issue isn’t really the point.” Drafters say the parliamentary bill is likely to be amended at committee stage during the summer or even next year.

  20. Come on, man. Get serious. I’ve had the unpleasant experience of being in the same room with you. You can’t even attract attention even with $100 bills Velcro’ed to your forehead. And still you try to reach out to people here both publicly and privately to make connections. And famously, with horrible results.

    Agadir visit

    Hi Guys. agadir was good, a little similar to Sousse with getting propositioned walking along the beachfront promenade (sorry can’t remember their name for it) but I didn’t use any of them. As handsome as they were there was just nowhere to go with them. I settled for two ads I seen on Grindr. Both were in massage spas, not high end in anyway but the guys were hot. One was with one guy and the other was 2 guys 4 hand massage. Usual dodgy characters pop up on Grindr but yiu can spot then a mile. So yea I had some fun but both were during a massage meet. Price was £40 and £60

If that’s the level, now he’s an omniscient divine entity and can quantify everybody’s social connections. Sociopath, psychotically delusional, or simply Asshole Not Otherwise Specified, a category not yet delineated on a commonly used diagnostic manual axis? My sense is: distinctive pathology all on its own.

  23. I note an interesting mix of descriptors and minimum prices on the twitter page of 15M massage. Most of the guys are described as "straight". The minimum tip for an hour for them seems to be usually 800 baht. One guys is described as "gay" - his minimum is 800 also. Another guy is described as "top" - his minimum is 1000. Yet another is described as "man" (a gay top perhaps - then why not just top?) - his minimum is 1000 Seems being more than just str8 or gay earns you more money....

  24. Generic drugs are generally of good standard and quality in Thailand. The Government Pharmaceutical Organization (GPO) produces generic equivalents for many off-patent drugs. There are also a number of good quality private sector pharmaceutical manufacturers. This sector of the market is fairly well regulated and the high volume pharmacies on Rama 4 between Silom & Suriwong are reputable and trustworthy. Also good to keep in mind that Thailand can sometimes negotiate a lower price for newer drugs not-off-patent. The exact same drug sold in the West but sold at a lower tiered price. There are a number of private sector pharmaceutical organizations that interface with government to facilitate pharmacies to provide low cost generic drugs with broader access (than the West), as well as advice for customers. This greatly relieves the burden on the public sector's universal health care system.

    Obviously the male couple? Very moving. I understand that in the game at some point Ellie ages up to 19, but that Bella Ramsey is old enough to straddle the 5-year span. On my TV service in Canada there’s also a half-hour feature on ‘the making of’, worth tuning into.

    Gigolo Erotic House

    Dropped in last night around 10:30pm with friends to pre-game at Gigolo and…man was it dead. Perhaps it was an off night because it is a long weekend here, but there were more dancers than patrons when we arrived. Many dancers that were long-time at the club have moved on to Garage or quit the game. There was just one dancer that I recognized. Still recommend a visit but it appeared things have shifted at Gigolo Erotic House.

  27. From VN Express The Ministry of Public Security has proposed prolonging the duration of e-visas granted to foreigners entering Vietnam from 30 days to a maximum of three months to help tourism recover. The e-visa will be valid for single-entry or multiple entries, according to a draft amendment to The Law on Entry, Exit, Transit and Residence of Foreigners in Vietnam, for which the ministry is preparing to collect public opinions. Vietnam currently offers a one-month single-entry e-visa to visitors from 80 countries and territories, including the U.S. and Australia. Under the draft, the ministry also suggested extending the duration of stays for tourists from countries enjoying 15-day visa exemptions to 30 days. On Wednesday, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh told a tourism conference that Vietnam will waive visas for more countries and extend the length of stay for foreign tourists to speed up the recovery of tourism. Despite being one of the first Southeast Asian countries to fully reopen to international tourism post Covid, Vietnam received only 3.6 million foreign tourists last year, around 20% of the pre-pandemic figure.

  28. No, you have a sound understanding of how they work. Being a regular user, they're not suited for guests who want regular maid service. They're primarily suited for extended stay guests (month or more) who wish to live as they would at home. The advantages are not being disturbed by housekeeping and a lower per diem cost than hotels with similar amenities (i.e., pool, fitness center). I only use Airbnb's that have washing machines which allow me to travel lighter and, of course, launder the sheets as required. If you're staying longer than a month, the owner should throw in a complete cleaning at some point during your rental. I think for most visitors, hotels or serviced apartments are a far better choice.

  30. This is what Forkey said: "Overall - I'll be generous and call it crap." He was referring to his experience in the shop not an individual. Then you went on to criticize him for not naming names: "But u didnt name the "craps". Vinapu recommend an individual by name but didn't go into specifics of their private encounter. Nothing wrong with "x", "y" and "z" as they don't pertain to identifiable individuals, IMO. Yes, but you want "us" to name the individual. It's difficult to be both curt and non-demeaning in the same breath. It's one thing to share experiences with a member you trust in a PM. It's another thing altogether to publicly post something that follows a guy for the rest of his life. What can possibly be gained by that? Our opinions are all subjective. We both could have a massage with the same guy and come away with vastly differing accounts. IMO, nothing wrong with describing the account so long as we don't ID the individual.

  31. From CNBC WASHINGTON — The International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant on Friday for Russian President Vladimir Putin over alleged war crimes committed during his invasion of Ukraine. The court also put out a warrant for Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia’s commissioner for children’s rights. Putin and Lvova-Belova are “allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation” of children from occupied areas of Ukraine to Russia, the court wrote in a statement. “There are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr. Putin bears individual criminal responsibility” for the forced deportation of Ukrainian children, the ICC said. The court alleged that he committed the offenses either directly or in cooperation with others, or failed to stop subordinates under his authority.

Getting rejected by customers, and having to compete with other garotos for just a 100 reais, having to perform 3 times in a row… By doing hotel / home visits only, they were avoiding these specific psychological drains while still getting a few jobs a week. Their GP income is lower but they said that feel less ’used’, and one said it gave him time for another job.

  42. "One would be forgiven..." https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/just-deserts-or-just-desserts#:~:text=Despite its pronunciation%2C just deserts,but pronounced like the sweet What to Know Despite its pronunciation, just deserts, with one s, is the proper spelling for the phrase meaning "the punishment that one deserves." The phrase is even older than dessert, using an older noun version of desert meaning "deserved reward or punishment," which is spelled like the arid land, but pronounced like the sweet treat. Based on the way the second word in just deserts (“the punishment that one deserves”) is pronounced, one would be forgiven for imagining that it came about in reference to some form of discipline involving custards, cookies, or petits fours. It might even make one wonder why there are not other meal-based forms of chastisement in our language; why no deserved breakfasts, no requisite lunches, no warranted teas? Because it’s not that kind of dessert. 😇

    Island recommendation

    Although not in Thailand, I thoroughly recommend the still relatively undeveloped Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc. It's actually situated under Sihanoukville but is Vietnamese. It's like Phuket used to be and has some marvellous hotels depending on your budget. I used points to stay at the Marriott Resort which was magnificent. Pricey but there are cheaper hotels on different beaches. There is a daily Thai Vietjet flight from BKK. Bangkok Airways used to run a daily flight from BKK which may return to the schedule in the next few months. On mainland Thailand I'd also recommend Khao Lak. This is located about 100 kms north of Phuket airport and is basically a series of hotels well set apart as to be all but invisible from each other. Fabulous sandy beaches and lots of local small eateries on the beach if you wish to avoid the hotel coffee shops/restaurants. There are several excursions including, if I recall correctly, one to one of the Andaman Islands (but that needs checking). Again the Marriott Resort is excellent but also pricey. The only time to avoid are European holidays like Easter and Christmas when it is packed mostly with German tourists. My photos were taken the week after Easter when the hotel was still 100% full. But you can see how empty the beach was.
