When I returned from my ‘reward’ trip in beginning of June I did not have any idea when next trip may be. In summer I was planning to see my sister living in another country. Family politics though created some free time before I went to see her and I decided to utilize it for yet another trip this year. Main motivation was that two of my forum friends , further referred as MJ and MK were planning to be there in BKK at the same time and then , as reinforcement, another one, MA, announced he will be arriving few days after me. Secondary motivation was they I never been in Thailand in July and now after returning from that trip I have only March and April to cover. Since it was trip within previously arranged trip there were some potential connection problems i.e . my ticket was non-refundable and I had only 3 hours to make connection in Berlin but all went according to the plan. Last trip I was complaining about yakking neighbors, this time it was my turn as I had two seat companions, , elderly Swede and young, handsome like hell, half-Thai and half-French, both talkative so I must say flight went very fast, not that we were talking all the time. Arrived at noon, small jubilee as it was 30th landing in Thialand . I smartly decided to utilize luggage waiting time to buy SIM card and it was bright idea as my suitcase popped out exactly in moment I approached conveyor belt. In 1 hour from landing I was already in the train reporting to reader, MJ and MK that all went well and I’m in Bangkok indeed. I like to change hotels every 2 -3 nights but this time I decided to settle in 9-4 configuration and my hotel for first 9 night was Quarter SalaDaeng, former Siri Sathorn. About 10 minutes walk from Sala Daeng BTS. Room was impressive , rather like small apartment with separate living room , kitchen and bedroom areas and with quite opulent buffet breakfast included. Very good value for money although not all was rosy. As it turned later walls were paper thin and at night I/we ( in Thailand I rarely sleep alone out of fear of ghosts) could hear very well what is going on on other side. Also to get hot water some time was required before it started lowing. MK who stay in the same hotel did not have such problem though. Day 1 Soon after I tidy myself over after long trek MK knocked to my door , it was our first meeting since pre-covid. It was nice to see old friend after such long break. Next was walk to XOne on Suriwong to exchange some money and I found rate quite good, nice surprise. Straight from there to Coffee Grinder for meeting with reader. I managed to catch him day before his return home so we had good time exchanging latest news while ogling cute waiters in the process. At 8.30 three of us , MJ who is staying nearby , MK and me went to G’Bangkok for dinner. Mid week and low season- both were evident as place was quite empty. Since we were in soi 4 already next step was kind of obvious-Jupiter. Not very busy as well so we got very good seats . There were 4 walkabouts by their boys, first in briefs , second in boxers, last two in jeans but with numbers. Most boys sported those so not many were offed or reserved, another sign of low season. We stay till end of show and then I decided to start improving economy , called muscular and hairless Vietnamese named Tam. As always I asked about long time but we couldn’t come to terms about compensation so we settled on hot and steamy, very pleasant although bit rushed in true Jupiter form , short time. I liked him very much and would gladly employ him few more times but since his request was above what I’m was prepared to fork out it was our last meeting this trip even if he tried to extract subsequent offs by messaging me daily. I stay firm declining those advances. Next time ,next trip , yes. Day 2 After long trip and steamy meeting I slept very well, like a stone. MJ joined me for a breakfast as his place is not offering it and I have one for two anyways. As always we exchanged news and impressions and decided to go to Jey Spa for 2 pm. We went by Grab, I booked the same guy I had few times previously- Maii . He remembered me and remembered what I like. Who cares about massage ? Great session , great guy, great place with great selection. In the afternoon a bit of jet lag so I collapsed on the bed for few hours. At 8.30 again our trio MJ, MK and me went to G’Bangkok for dinner warmly greeted by the boss himself (he was absent yesterday) who was surprised to see me again after only few weeks. Restaurant was busy for a change. Next we opted for Moonlight tonight. Not very busy, again low season. Neither A nor Y, my favorites from there were present but I noticed new , very cute boy. Mamasan told me he is Cambodian who started just today. So I rushed with 100 note toward him for a good start but asked mamasan to call Y and ask if he wants to go with me. Description of customer was somewhat not clear because Y asked to see my picture and only when mamasan sent it to him he said is rushing immediately. When he mention shower I told him not to bother he can take in my room. Soon he came , all smiles. Not long after we were walking home. Offer of dinner declined but as soon as we entered room he asked for few minutes so he can go and buy something to eat. I noticed certain patter here as it was not first time. Either he doesn’t want to be seen with farang in restaurant or, much more likely he doesn’t want me to spent too much money on his food. It did not take much time for him to return so we could start discussing recent elections of village councils in Burkina Faso and Eswatini ( former Swaziland). Not sure people on other side of wall could hear us but for sure we could hear them , more or less discussing the same elections but in guy/ girl configuration. Y is great guy who knows how to keep me smiling, that was my last thought before falling asleep.

best music for me is called 'silence'

At Dodo Bar the boys will get very close up, most of the the shorts are loose with plenty of exploration going on from my observations recently. I suggested to a bar owner a while back to try a similar concept like Dodo Bar has implemented or at least get all the boys in see through singlets. He said he was worried if the boys were all wearing that attire it would be easy for immigration to pick out the staff who were here illegally when they did a raid. Fair enough, but the lack of innovation in the Jomtien Complex by most of the bars is rather uninspiring . So kudos to Dodo Bar for providing some good entertainment, and we need to support them to keep it going and getting even better.

The short videos posted above of this bar reminded me of Krazy Dragon in sunnee. Although I was never a fan of Sunnee because the boys were often too skinny, too fem or too young (or all 3), I did have some fun evenings at Krazy Dragon. DoDo might do well to recreate something of that bar. Although Krazy Dragon had a gogo stage which would not be possible in Jomtien Complex, the stage was not key to it's success. It was that the boys would literally come dance on your table. With their loose shorts - another thing DoDo can copy - the boys' appendages were often flapping away beneath the thin textile (no underwear of course). And they were game for a grope or two, for a tip.

....and that's probably the only court. 🙂

@premv3 i am in SP now. Have you ever been to Thermas in BCN or Paragoyna in Zurich? Well, Espaco Lagoa Sauna is quite similar, complete with a bar for drinks and food. You can use your cell phone; walk around with it; there's no need for paper at all. The guys or garotos may have limited English skills, but you won't need to do much talking. I used Google Translate and some sign language when necessary. A guy willl ask for 150 to 200 Reales, If you spot a garoto walking around fully clothed there chances are he isn't good for sex . I learned this the hard way when I encountered two hot guys, fully dressed. One didn't treated me will d the other one has a good hard on but he was a cold dish. It can be a bit overwhelming at times, but they offer way more delicious guys compared to other saunas i mentioned above. Only a few garotos are pushy, and I didn't entertain them. If you appreciate well-endowed guys you're in for a feast. Some garotos will surprise you with their humoungous cocks . Iwent from 5 pm to late 9 pm, taking breaks because I could barely sit after some of the guys. I typically offered 150 Reales, not to be cheap, but to gauge their reaction. Most likely, their reacted good or bad so it was a good filter, The hotter ones might expect 200 Reales and if they treated you nicely when they went up to 200, go ahead and say yes. Upon entering the Lagoa , they'll provide you with a locker key, two towels sealed in plastic bags (they're quite good), and flip-flops. Head up one floor where you'll find a bar with tables, similar to Barcelona Thermas. After meeting with a guy, you'll go another floor up to another cashier who'll give you a private room. I can't recall the exact prices, but there's a basic option with a TV and a bed that can get quite warm. My favorite, costing 55 Reales, includes AC, TV with movies, and a private bathroom. Called suites There's a third floor with more private rooms, starting from room number 13 and onwards. Additionally, there's a small bar, a small gym for the guys, and a TV room. Just when you think you've had the best guy, a new garoto with an amazing body/cock will show up. I often wished I could split myself in two or more to savor all the succulent garotos. As in any sauna with gayforPay, the best garotos are in high demand, so if you find one, grab them. but they always will be busy and not hanging around for too long While some gartotos may not meet your expectations, considering the price range of 150-200 Reales (roughly 30 to 40 American dollars), it's a great deal for a try and error. Sao Paulo boasts some of the hottest and nicest guys. i saw all types, mostly masculines, and by 6 /7 pm were a lot muscle guys, blonde black and in between Best of luck, and feel free to ask if you have any questions. I'm typing on my phone, so please forgive any typos. 😜 Tonight, I plan to visit one of the stripper bars, and I'll provide you with a report on those places. I'm not a young guy, so the garotos at the sauna wore me out, if you catch my drift. 😆 I have to recuperate during the daytime. And if you're a expert/slutty bottom, like me, be prepared. Even the most experienced and voracious bottom will be exhausted by the end of the day. I wish I had some numbing cream to handle those real 9/10 inches. Of course, not all the guys are that well-endowed, but I'd say about half of them are.

Yes, you may claim Social Security at 62 but at a reduced amount compared to full retirement age which currently ranges from 65 to 67 depending on the year of your birth. For me (born in 1967) full retirement age is 67. If I claim it at 62 it is reduced by a certain percentage per year. So I could claim it any time between 62 and full retirement age with a partial reduction. If you wait until after full retirement age (up to age 70 I believe) you get a supplemental amount. So if you wait until 70 I think it's an 8% bonus currently. And the amount of your benefit is based on a number of factors including years of work and amount paid in to the system.

he wouldn't have come back if he expected to spend much time in prison. Surely this was all worked out in advance. He'll probably be on the tennis court tomorrow

exactly. The speculation a couple of months ago was that ultimately this would be good for MF in the next election. I think that's true. As long as the people in charge don't manage to come up with some ludicrous reason to dissolve the party and bar all of its members from politics for 10 years or some other big number. This current case at the CC could very well be the vehicle to accomplish that. Whether that brings large numbers to the streets or not will be the key. MF needs to build some more experience in parliament. I also wonder if the Charter re-write has any chance of happening now. PT claimed they were going to go ahead with it, but it may not be so easy to do given who they are in bed with

to supplement, it’s what vinapu wrote about our visit to jupiter on our first night on last trip. i off’ed a super handsome cambodian guy with an excellent body. and yes he did perform very well.

your report’s bringing back good memories. i felt like it was years ago already.

The recent discussion about health matters among aging gay men in Pattaya prompted me to post this report from the Harvard School of Public Health: ---------------------------------- A study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) adds to evidence that eating breakfast is important for good health. HSPH researchers found that men who regularly skipped breakfast had a 27% higher risk of heart attack or death from coronary heart disease than those who did eat a morning meal. Non-breakfast-eaters were generally hungrier later in the day and ate more food at night, perhaps leading to metabolic changes and heart disease. The study was published July 22, 2013 in the American Heart Association (AHA) journal Circulation. The scientists analyzed food questionnaire data and health outcomes from 1992-2008 on 26,902 male health professionals, ages 45-82. During the study, 1,572 of the men had cardiac events. Even after accounting for diet, physical activity, smoking, and other lifestyle factors, the association between skipping breakfast and heart disease persisted. “It’s a really simple message. Breakfast is an important meal,” senior author [[Eric Rimm]], associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at HSPH, told the Associated Press. “Skipping breakfast may lead to one or more risk factors, including obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, which may in turn lead to a heart attack over time,” lead author [[Leah Cahill]], postdoctoral research fellow in HSPH’s Department of Nutrition, said in an AHA statement. Other studies have pointed to a link between breakfast and obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other health problems seen as precursors to heart problems. While the study group was composed mostly of white men, the results are likely to apply to women and other ethnic groups, but additional studies should be conducted, the researchers said. Other HSPH co-authors include [[Stephanie Chiuve]] and [[Rania Mekary]], research associates the Department of Nutrition; Majken K. Jensen, assistant professor of nutrition; [[Alan Flint]], research scientist the Department of Nutrition, and [[Frank Hu]], professor of nutrition and epidemiology.

My exploratory adventures did not confirm the looseness of the shorts; rather that they were wearing tight fitting underwear under the shorts and seemed reluctant to let me explore. Well, not in all cases especially if you bought them a drink and a chat and a nice tip.

Yesterday, my last night, I ended up with a 2nd baseman that plays professional baseball for one of their national teams....I hate when the best things happen on the last night. My friend has a mutual friend of the ball player, showed him my picture and said he was interested. Was a fun night, drinking, playing naked Jenga and ended with amazing sex. He spent the night, which is something I never do, I prefer to sleep alone, but he was too hot not to let him stay. He lives on the eastern side of the island but said if I come back, he'll go to Havana to stay with me.

Nice going: How is it that 16.3% of Ukrainian deaths are just a “fraction more” than Russia’s 12.7%, while Lithuania’s 12.7% and Kazakh 10.7% are “considerably less”? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties_of_the_Soviet_Union I would love to see Armenia try and arrest Putin! This is just a rhetoric from populist Armenian politicians annoyed at Russia’s unwillingness to enact the Article 4 of the CSTO (of which Armenia is a founding member) and stop Azerbaijan’s actions in Artsakh or Nagorno-Karabakh. It’s like listening to Russian politicians blackmailing the World with threats of nuclear winter. Meanwhile, Russian “Peacekeepers” are in all the former Soviet States of Transcaucasia and the majority of Central Asia, terrorizing local population. So are Lithuania and Estonia. So is Finland. Yet they decided to forgo their neutrality and join the NATO. The NATO continues to intercept air incursions into the airspace of the Baltic States, where locals feel uneasy next to such irreverent a neighbor. So is Armenia - not in the Ukrainian war, but everywhere else. Up until Russia turned its back on them in their conflict with Azerbaijan, Armenia was probably the most loyal ally of Russia; more so than Belarus. Furthermore, Lukashenko is Putin’s ally - that does not mean that all Belorussians feel the same way. Russia is made of many different ethnicities, quite a few of them have completely lost their ethnic identification since all names were “Russified” many generations ago. However, those who still identify themselves as ethnic minority within Russia claim that the death toll from much of the Russian wars (past and present) have been disproportionally affecting poorer ethnic communities.

Nlwrestlyboy, if you're serious about this--and I believe that you are--go into any all-male massage shop and tell the manager you're looking for a twink who will "play" wrestle with you. That may just convert your fantasy into reality.

you were right and I will start cooking next trip report soon

Yes I agree, I never understood the Jomtien Complex model of open beer bars and I don't like it, Sunnee Plaza in its glory days had sleezy and vibrant ambient.Had a great fun back than.

that was fast. Am I prophet or what ?

Would love to wake up to the old Sunee. The Complex is ok, but Sunee was so hands on.

Day 9 N sleeps in his shop. Because of that, 3 days a week he is cleaning it before opening and after closing which I consider very fair. That was reason he could come only at 1 but I did not mind, we still had good , largely sleepless night. Left at 6 to take care about the shop so I returned to warmed bed to get some sleep. At 9 marched to Foodland, heart bleeding becauseby 5 minutes I missed time when breakfast is whopping 10 baht cheaper, then to XOne to exchange money and to Silom market in soi 10 to buy charger as I left mine in hotel in Kuala Lumpur, one of senior moments I guess because I’m not exactly known for leaving my stuff behind. Silom market as market go is very modest affair but yet in my every hour of need , be it charger , coat hangers, baseball hat, undies, t-shirt , pen , day pack , you name it ,I go there and find what I need , usually for very little. I spotted one of Jupiter mamasans manning one of the stands. In hotel no water again but power was so I made a coffee and then took BTS to Madrid for lunch with Christian PFC. Always interesting chat over tasty pizza, we have our ritual and share whatever we ordered half / half with each other. We walked back , I was mindful that I have to meet P from Hot Male at 3 to check stamp collection so made sure I’m there , in still empty soi on time. No sight of him , nor even answer to my Lines so at 3.30 I left empty handed. Reader reported that he will be drinking coffee at Coffee Grinder at 5 if I want to join so I used that occasion to complain, his answer was very reasonable P obviously is not in a need of money. Good for P thought I. Just before 5 I got message from him “ sorry I slept in”. Too late obviously as I had other designs this afternoon. Reader and I exchanged news while tasting their coffee and first and foremost admiring their cheerful and handsome staff. I even get bonus when boys were readying to leave at they close at 6 one of them changed shirt to reveal torso worth 2750 baht short time in process. This trip I decided firmly to return to old butterflying days, did not work exactly as intended with few repats anyways but at least I tried and liked it. Today I scheduled last bar I did not visit yet- Dreamboys so around 9 went there. Several boys on the stage already , among them Fai, very good masseur I know from Arena so called him for drink, shortly his brother Dit arrived to wing me from other side. But I was in no mood to hire from there. What I saw was discouraging. Out of 3 rotation about 12 each so total 30-40 guys I’d remotely consider 3 and only # 11 looked truly attractive earning red not as I departed. A lot of veterans of soi Twilight which says something. Ggobkk who visited few day earlier had exactly the same impression but on another hand Jason 1975 who went there few days after me completely disagreed. So either I had bad luck or he had good one or there’s fundamental difference in taste. As I said somewhere else and tend to repeat constantly - go and check for yourself , my throwaway may be your treasure and other way around. Tipped both brothers 200 for their time and old times sake and decided to have another try at Moonlight I visited last week. With all bars covered time for 2nd round. I was hoping to see Y , who impressed me on my last night in Feb and yes , he was on the stage. No time was wasted to bring him over for a drink and before his was delivered , night’s fate was sealed. A, the hunk spotted me as well so I invited him for drink too , if only to tell him that I did not like last week when he abandoned me from another customer. This time he did not go anywhere until his drink was finished . So I used that to try to wrestle him a bit which we always do , he always wins but my ego is still boosted because I manage to resist for a bit. He made suggestion we repeat Feb feast with Y and him together but I said that for me it’s twice expense for half fun so he gave up trying. In models parade I noticed few new faces, Jack who appeared very nervous last week seems settled now but for now Mean seem to be my #1. I also noticed I’m warming up to Babe, perhaps because now he is not one to close parade as he always did , now he is one of many. I did not see Nut last time neither during parade today but at one point he showed up, came to say hallo, admitted casually he is late and way he was dressed made me suspect that he must be in good hands now. Very formal and elegant at the same time so I’m happy for him he found his girl or man, whoever. Another one not present was Nicky, neither last week nor today but time I was in love with him is long gone. I’m glad they are trying to refresh their models stable as old faces and bodies , while still attractive are becoming bit stale so new blood is needed. On another hand I must admit original set was of really outstanding quality, real hunky hunks while never crew is somewhat mixed which is not necessarily wrong as not everybody likes that type. At one point I start getting itchy so tipped A and marched with Y to hotel by the way of Unesco Heritage. Y turned endearingly modest when comes to food as Foodland was his idea and he chosen some ordinary dish like pad Thai. Not that modest when came to LT tip but absolutely and positively did his best to earn it. One of those few precious who feel immediately what and when customer wants. By far best night of this trip. I was so excited and happy that I almost pay dearly for all that fun but that’s the story for next installment .

Day 8 As they say, time to say goodbye. Breakfast, again I was only farang looking guest there. Fast packing as most of my goodies are still in Baan Silom, monorel to KL Sentral and airport express from there. Air Asia did not gave me a chance to select a seat for free and system assigned me middle one but by grace of God other two seats in my row were nor assigned so I had 3 seats for myself , too bad it was only 2.hr15 mins flight. In Don Muang very fast , no immigration line whatsoever. Going to the train I heard my name all of the sudden. One of guys from former Bangkok Massage whose brother I offed at least 10 times was waiting for somebody and recognized me. Not in business any more , scuba dive instructor now. Another proof that world is small. In coupon restaurant on the way to station I treated myself with duck on the rice for 65 baht, my usual treat when in DMK and 1 hr later I returned to Baan Silom to learn that I was assigned the same room, not that I care as anyone would do. At 7 I was supposed to meet another member ggobkk who was gracious enough to find some time for meeting on day of his return home. It was about to rain so I decided to go to GBangkok bit earlier , great idea as it started raining at 7 on the dot. My friend arrived with big umbrella but soon rain stopped, After chat and dinner and more chat we decided to go to Screwboys, first visit for both of us after reopening. Mamasan recognized us immediately, they did not really opened yet but she ordered few guys to the stage, few were OK and # 26 got tips for good looks from both of us. She also remembered that my best boy ever, One was from there and showed me his pictures, serious man in mid thirties now , father of 3 but still I recall him vividly . Muscular hunk who knew very well what his clients want and delivered. But it was in 2015 and after that he disapeared from the scene for good. 100 baht for her to keep that memory fresh forever, then after a while ggobkk went to his hotel to get ready for his trip and I went to jeweler on Thaniya to exchange some money. Then to Hot male beer bar to have drinks with boys and asked P to be there tomorrow at 3 so we can assess my new stamp acquisition. Then climbed stairs to Freshboys to watch the show and tip the best looking guy as usual. By sheer coincidence he had number #26 as well . He would be my candidate for an off but over Line I already promised N, the masseur, that we sleep together tonight so went home so to speak empty handed. On my way I met on Silom his workmate who assured me that N will be there after he closes shop at 1 as today was his turn about which I was aware already.

Lucky you! I’ll never trade the feeling of my first time in a sauna in Brazil. If you’re interested in knowing how that went, it’s all here: Anyway, to your question, yes mobile phones are allowed in the saunas so you’ll have that to help you. And thank goodness for Google Translate! How did we ever survive without it? I do have a few tips for you to make those transactions with these hot men a little bit easier. This definitely helped me starting out. After that though I’ve decided to be fluent in the language and that was one of my best decisions I’ve ever made: 1. Take the time to learn some basic words: Even if you will rely on your Google Translator, knowing some words in Portugues will help. Which words? I’d go to YouTube to find out which words to learn. This is a good video that gives you the basic phrases as a tourist. It’ll also get your ears used to hearing how Brazilian Portugues sounds like: So try to brush up on your Obrigados (thank you) and Ois (hello) and Desculpas (sorry) before you go. 2. Know the basic Portugues sex words and phrases. Simply putting “ I’m a top” in Google Translate will result in a slightly different thing than what you intended. So knowing the basic sex terms in Portugues will definitely come a long way. Phrases like: Ativo - Top Passivo - Bottom Versatil - Versatile Ativo liberal - Someone who prefers to top sometimes will bottom under the right circumstances (this is incidentally my sweet spot and my preference of guy in the saunas) Beija bem? - Do you kiss well? Você faz o que? - What do you do/what sexual positions do you do? Quanto? - How much? Chupar - suck Vai me comer? - Will you fuck me? Gozar/Com gozar - to Cum, with cum (sometimes a negotiating tactic) There are a lot of more words to mention, but this should get you started. 3. When using Google Translate, keep it simple. One mistake people often make while using Google Translate is the usage of complex sentences with colloquialisms and jargon that translate differently from what you mean. For example, let’s say your new Brazilian boyfriend invited you to a party tonight. You just realized that your butt is sore due to the non-stop pounding you just received from that 10 inch dick. You take you phone and type in the sentence “Can I get a raincheck? meaning that you can’t go now but would want to be invited the next time he goes. The translation will be wrong of course, as raincheck is a colloquialism that means something else when directly translated. But just putting in something as simple as “Next time" is good enough to convey the point across. Complex sentences with multiple clauses will more than likely confuse the algorithm of the translator, resulting in garbled translation. Break it up into simpler and more digestible phrases will come a long way. 4. When negotiating price, best way is through your phone. If you’re not familiar on how to count in Portugues, best way to show how much one is willing to pay or to get paid, is to use your phone’s calculator app and putting in the amount to show them, or for them to show you. Sometimes boys will try to say the amount in English but it is sometimes wrong. It’s easy enough to say duzentos when saying 200 reais but when in doubt, use your calculator. Also the calculator’s font size is big enough to get the point across. 5. Don’t use your phone to translate when outside Using your phone to translate inside the sauna or bar or restaurant or hotel room is fine because it is secure. But say you and you paramour are walking hand-in-hand on Rua Augusta and you had the urge to tell your boy how much you love the feeling of his cum shooting inside your butt, but you don’t know how. Don’t just whip pout your phone in the middle of the street and start typing away on Google Translate! That’s the easiest way to get your phone snatched. It can wait till you are inside where it is more secure. I think I’ve covered most of what I feel will help you. In time you will learn the language through immersion, if you are open to it of course. I feel that my experience in Brazil has improved 100 times more significantly by learning the language and connecting with the people. The cellphone is a blessing and a curse: it allows us to communicate with people that we otherwise will have difficulty understanding, but at the same token, having a cellphone with you at all times makes the experience weird and impersonal, at least for me. Besides, it’s better to put down that cellphone to two-hand that 10 inch monster you just paid duzentos reais for.

Oh, don't forget, former president Trump is not the only (Republican) president that got a little too close to Putin, for comfort. Remember in 2001 when former president Bush met with him? “I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy,” Bush said. “I was able to get a sense of his soul.”

Dear Reader, thanks for your suggestion. Yes, wrestling really turns me on. For sure fantasy will come reality.

Wonder when Biden will try to have relations with Cuba like Obama started to do ....and then Trump shut everything down to stay in Putin's good graces.

I think you underestimate the amount of reconciliation, war compensation, war tribunals, re-education, de-putinization, sanctions which will remain in place, etc. You think we are “back in business as normal” in 3-5 years? Will not happen and should not happen.

So you're LOW-KEY saying you're a WHORE like me? Is that what you're saying?

The news yesterday said they are now pushing for an expansion of Muslim tourists. I'm sure the gays and muslims will get on like a house on fire!

Finally in SP, all your posts have been very helpful. Later today i am going to Lacoa and i am planing to visit HotHOuse and DangerDance Club.

Boyztown is the best , gouging or not

Absolutely! My first place of call in Pattaya is Sunee, even with just Nice and Winner, serves my needs best. Boystown price gouging, Jomtien host bars not my style.

both, banned but you will see they on sale on street stands as for tantric massage no idea but I have feeling Pattaya is not place sophisticated enough to offer it. Her reason for existence is different kind of massage called kuay massage. Kuay is how Thais call dick

From Thai PBS World Move Forward becomes main opposition party Despite being the largest single party in Thailand’s House of Representatives, the Move Forward party has announced that it will work in opposition, after parliament overwhelmingly endorsed the Pheu Thai party’s prime ministerial candidate, Srettha Thavisin, yesterday (Tuesday). Srettha received 482 votes of approval, against 165 of disapproval and 81 abstentions. Move Forward’s secretary-general, Chaithawat Tulathon, told the media that the partnership between Pheu Thai and the junta-linked parties, among others, to form the coalition government does not end the political divide, characterized by the red and yellow groups, but is collusion to extend the junta’s political system. He said that the party will do its utmost to check the performance of the government for the benefit of the people and will coordinate with those outside parliament to effect change in Thai society.

It is available for active / contributing members and not guests.

The same way that most of the Chinese leadership never acknowledged the atrocities Mao inflicted on China with 30 million or so Chinese dying as a result of his various campaigns - including Let A Hundred Flowers Bloom, The Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. Yet it is estimated that less than a milion died during Stalin's purges. Even adding those who died of hunger and the estimate is little more than 5 million. Granted, two blacks don't make a whilte. But it's not unreasonable to make comparisons. I have been to Russia six times - 3 during the Soviet era and 3 much more recently in 2011 and 2013. Moscow and St. Petersburg in the 1980s were basically drab with large numbers on the streets trying to sell their household goods to get some cash. One group of youths even offered to buy the jeans I was wearing. My last three visits were like chalk and cheese. Both cities were fascinating, lively and with some stunning guys. At a Conference in Moscow, along with three fellow delegates (all gay!) we went one evening to the bar at the top of the Swissotel with its stunning views of Moscow. Equally stunning were the waiters and the boys manning the bar. Our waiter told us that all his colleagues were Russians but the barmen were Czech. Every one would have been extremely beddable! In St. Petersburg in 2013 I was with a dear friend from London. One day we ventured to the gorgeous Catherine Palace. The subway passes a Technical College. Once again most of the young guys looked extremely attractive. I thought one was smiling at me (wishful thinking no doubt!) but my friend is a lady and so my smile back was little more than weak! But when we talk about Russia and atrocities, we should never forget that without Russia the outcome of WWII might have been very different. We should also never forget that 27 million Russians died in that war, compared to little more than 400,000 each Americans and British. We tend today to think only of the 6 million Jews massacred by Hitler. Russia's contribution was vital to the allies winning that war.

The fact that Pheu Thai has reneged on its election promise not to ally itself to any military party (there are 2 military backed parties in its coalition) is already causing anger around the country.

try to be even handed and post some pictures of Gulag camps somewhere in Magadan , Kolyma or Chukotka . While American camps for Japanese were shame , at least prisoners eventually came out alive which can't be said for many Gulag prisoners.

This afternoon I started to use Leonardo.ai for the first time. And it is addictive. What kind of images to generate for my first attempts? Somehow the idea of athletic Brazilians came to mind. For your amusement, I'll share my evolving beginner results. Starting with young men at Iguazu Falls: (Series A below) Later they shower at the sauna: (Series B below) (Series C below) And later stroll around shirtless: (Series D below) On the beach with a very good friend: (Series E below) Finally, started learning how to get more variety in my AI's Brazilian gene pool: (Series F below) And finally in the rainforest: (Series G below) My favorites are B1 top, E2 bottoms, and F1 and F2. But all these fictitious jocks kept my attention fully engaged exploring the AI program and curious what the next output would look like.

I love Cruise Ships and have taken over a dozen trips over the last 30 years. I have never had a bad experience on one (a few staff encounters) but it is always fun and enjoyable for me.

Yes, I’m glad you’re acknowledging that you’ve been brainwashed. No, you did not. However, instead of welcoming the fact that the nations of Vietnam and the US are able to put the tragedies of war behind them and move forward with the partnership that has a potential to bring them closer and benefit both of them, you started chiding democrats for collaborating with a communist regime! Guess what, Nixon was not a democrat and he resumed the relationship with China, despite the fact that it had a communist regime. Russia’s love affair with republicans is misguided at best. Really, it’s all about Trump. However, historically, true republicans have always been much more hawkish and anti-Russian than democrats. Trump is not a true republican and various fractions within the Republican Party will point that out to you. Trump is an anomaly. He has destroyed the Republican Party and his movement will be entered as the pages of shame in the US political history - much like McCarthyism has been. I am neither condoning, nor justifying any atrocities that the US has committed. I am fully aware of them and with my voice I try to influence political processes. That’s more than I can say about quite a few Russians in relations to their country.

And the British should apologize to India and South Africa, the Chinese should apologize to the Russians and Tibet and and and... How far do we go back? I'd rather see leaders learn from history than live in the past.

Final reflections Best thing about that trip was that it was entirely unplanned and unexpected. Last time I had such fast decision trip to Thailand was back in 2013 , also in May. I found it very energizing waking up in the morning to find out by midnight than in 2 days I’m flying to other end of world. That’s advantage of being retired as such feast would be hardly doable in normal 9-5 working conditions. Because luggage was free I was hauling more goodies than usually when I travel just with carry on and found it bit tiring considering my habit of changing hotels every 2-3 nights. Perhaps time to try more permanent arrangement next time like changing place only once per trip. I’m happy I decided to return to butterflying giving every bar a chance. I’m still warming toward Jupiter and after two visit this trip I’m more than half way there. It used to be bar I did not like at all so it’s great improvement. Line up on my 1st visit this trip was truly impressive, as I mentioned I like 100 % of what was on offer. My disappointment was unspoken so far in report. Last trip I spotted some hunk in Thai Relax massage in soi 6 on my last day and he was not available. I hoped to see him this trip but he went home for good according to other boys from that venue. ST from Tawan was great find of this trip shining both with personality and body. He probably realized that and was bit costly but I liked him very much thank you and only can hope he will be there next time. Along with Y from Moonlight and S from HotMale, all offed twice they were my trip heroes. Masseur N who extracted 5 sessions from me had best chance to be super star but spoiled it a bit by not reading me properly – I don’t like irrelevant or nosy messages like ‘how are you ?’ or “what you are doing now ?” he was bombarding me on Line even if I know there were well meaning and supposed to show he cares. It’s funny situation as I like guy a lot and his massage was by far the best I had in a few trips and in the room he performed as I liked plus plus, I still had moments I was mad at him. And this is actually not funny. Overall Line is great tool to hook up and communicate with guys but sometimes I wonder if it’s really worth of trouble to give boys my Line because of such case of abuse so to speak. On another hand it was life saver when due to holiday bars were closed but I managed to utilize my contacts and pull it as best day of the whole trip. Tawan with Banana in second place continue to be most friendly bars as far as I see even if Tawan boys are trying to abuse my wallet but at least they do it good natured way and understand word NO without any grimaces . As for massage Jey Spa continues to be my post Covid massage central and both guys I had there were gold standard how session and masseur should look like . Not for first time I noticed that with price service standard goes up which theoretically it’s how it’s supposed to be but we all know it’s far from reality. I was concerned I’m losing thing for Thai boys with few voluntary empty nights which almost never happened before, but now , with cold head I see that perhaps it’s bit of natural. After overheating cool down time should come. If I don’t feel like having companion why should I torment myself with looking for one ? Two boys pissed me off , one by not showing and another one by asking for dink and leaving me promptly which was more painful due to fact we had common history with either one. My revenge was simply to skip off this trip and tell them why. At least one confirmed that he got the message. Prices are going up. I’m not taking vacations to save money as staying home does better job but had few sticker shocks – 1000 off fee at BoyzBoyZBoyz, 900 massage fee at Tawan, 6000 long time request from Tawan Boy( declined). I think time will come when some haggling will be in order. I praise myself for idea of breaking my trip by going to Kuala Lumpur and I’m eternally grateful to my local friend there for being my guide and companion. Finally heartfelt thank you to reader, Anddy, Jason 1975 and ChristianPFC for all those meals and bar visits together. Due to family and my personal issues timing of my next trip is unknown but working on it. Brutal truth is , whatever plans I may make they may be ruined at the short notice. Ever optimist I hope for at least one more this year or early next one.

Day 17 , continued About 1 hr later ST Lined me he is about to arrive so I went down to the street level to see him arriving in style on motorsai smiling broadly. We decided to eat something , across the soi from hotel is small Thai eatery serving simple but tasty and cheap dishes so we feasted there for 160 for two oft drinks included. Then to the room where I made sure I was compensated for empty night and what is even more important ST made it even more sure I was happy. At one point when I complemented his built with sinister motive to allow me to take picture ( no I will not post it here nor will send it by PM ) of his well attended to body he said something I never heard before from guy “ I take care about my body so you can enjoy it” , wow ! I enjoyed it indeed, more than expected . It was really great 3 hours. It did not come cheap but it was worth every penny I gave him and what I spent on him bit later. His shoes were quite worn off. Not sure it was staged or really he did not have anything better but when he noticed I noticed their shabby state he asked if I can buy him new pair. What a smart guy ! But as my godmother used to say “it’s better to lose something with smart than find something with stupid”. So plot or not , I agreed although placed silent limit of 2000 on such largesse. We went to Silom Center as I told him my time is limited and in Central there were sport shoes on sale. After trying few pairs he settled on some Adidases for 2160, I told him I can give only 2000 , he agreed to fork out that 160 extra which of course I reimbursed him back as we were leaving mall. So I spend quite a bit on two session with ST but on this trip I had few excellent encounters and both with him were ones I suspect I will remember well still in few years. Happy but still smarting after that failed night I had one more shining star in mind. But first things first, I returned to the room and packed as much as I could before returning to boy hunting. Since today is Thursday , schnitzel special at G’Bangkok it’s where I went. Lined reader about my plans and he joined me on that Thailand’s last supper. Both Banana’s barkers welcomed me enthusiastically as always so I practiced my vinapu tuck on them shamelessly in front of their bar, told them I’m leaving tonight and one who I have some hots for whispered me something which makes me wanting to return to Thailand before end of this century or even this year , if only to check if it’s true. Then reader went his way and I marched to Hot Male hoping S will be there. He heard my voice talking to P the host and appeared in bar’s door .Action was fast, let’s go. I told him, 2 hrs only so no dinner but bough him something to eat at 7/11 and he made sure my last session of this sudden , unexpected and unplanned trip was as great as all our previous meetings. 2000 baht later he left , I finished packing , freshen up for long trip home only to see it time to go because both shaving cream and tooth paste jut run out. At 11.30 I was on the street and taxi just showed up around the corner. 500 no meter he said. No , meter is 300 so I give you 400 said I . No, 450 said he. No 400 I insisted , Ok, ok said him and in few seconds I was on my way. At the Swampy I gave him that 450, still happy with such fruitful day. All went smooth and at 2.30 we rolled out of gate as scheduled I was wailing over wasted last night but I wondered if it was actually good idea to have good night sleep before such long trek. I almost never sleep on the plane but this time I did, at least 4 continuous hours out of 7 to Doha and probably it would be longer if they did not wake me up for breakfast which I did not want to eat anyways. Three hours there was enough to survey airport which I liked a lot , specially that park in the middle of terminal. On second leg I also slept few hours so when finally after 30 hours and 55 minutes from closing door at hotel I opened my own, I was surprisingly fresh. Enough that I made post-trip laundry before retiring to own bed. Summary tomorrow and then I shut up

Day 5 We both set our phone alarms for 6 am. After shower I left luggage downstarirs , took whatever I’m taking with me and we marched to Foodland for breakfast greeted by knowing smiles, ahem. Then S went home and I took BTS and MRT to bang Sue and from there red electric train to Don Muang. Easy check in and after 135 minutes flight I landed in Kuala Lumpur. We are in 21 century so first thing to do was to buy Malaysian SIM card, immigration was breeze and on my way to the train I Lined my local friend I’m already there and he told me where and when we will meet. Airport is quite a distance from city and train costs 55 RM which is about 400 baht but is impressive , modern and very fast. In ½ hr. I was at Central station called KL Sentral , visited friendly tourist office to get free map and direction how to get to monorail station as my hotel, Furama Bukit was near Imbi station. Great location , very close to tourist area of Bukit Bintang , 5 minutes to Imbi station and adjacent to KL newest mall built on the site of former prison of which gate is still standing. Kuala Lumpur is very modern city , very impressive but not walker friendly as it’s bisected by numerous highways and multilane streets. Fortunately public transit is fast and efficient although it takes time to get acquainted with as is provided by no less then 4 different operators, situation similar to Bangkok. Ticket price also depends of distance. After settling in my room on 17th floor I went to meet my friend. We had lunch in the mall , went to the roof where it was some sort of fair and then we made grand tour of Bukit Bintang district , tourist central of KL. There’s street with zillion of restaurants crossing one with several massage shops and where I spotted quite a few handsome masseurs . There were even ladies of the night plying their trade quite openly and one offered me her services not once but twice as we passed by her two times.. Malaysia is on different time zone then Thailand, 1 hr. ahead and is getting dark only at 7 p.m. Soon after dark I decided to go back to hotel as early rising this morning started being felt so we parted ways with my friend agreeing to meet again tomorrow.

Day 4 In the morning still no water but basic desoiling by reception and breakfast at Foodland, where else? Upon return to hotel I was informed that they opened empty room on my floor and I can take shower there which I gladly did. In meantime they fixed what was broken and soon after I heard water coming. Then I went to XOne to buy some ringgit as tomorrow I’m heading to Kuala Lumpur then decided to try newly opened Coffee Grinder beside Tawan. Cute and enthusiastic waiters, boss himself present as well, we talked a bit and when I learned he reads forum I revealed my identity and posted my impression right away. I’m not big on coffee but they also serve very good tea and churros are yummy indeed. At 2 I was supposed to have massage with T, hero of my Dec 2021 trip at Sabaidee in soi Pluk Chit so went there. I arranged it directly with T over Line but he mixed things up. When I called him at 2.30 he professed he thought it was supposed to be tomorrow but promised to rush and indeed arrived around 3. Sabaidee moved few units further but boss told me move is temporary and when old premises will be renovated he is planning to move back. One of boys present was veteran of Soi Twlight and I recall him as top in XBoys fuck shows. Still in business after all those years but obviously taking good care of his well developed , muscular body. Massage was good but I was under impression T acquired some weight and our meeting somehow lacked spark we had before. I could be actually me, subconsciously unhappy with him being late. My original question when I enquired was “ are you working at the Sabaidee today” so no idea where tomorrow could came from. Then it was afternoon so I felt hungry and went to Madrid Tavern for my filling of pizza and Chang. I went by BTS s to Saphan Taksin , from where it’s no more than 10 minutes walk along busy and colorful Charoen Krung. Returned to Silom by bus and packed for tomorrow. I will be leaving most of my stuff in hotel as I’m returning there and prepared only what I deem necessary for just 3 days. It’s day 4 but I’m still jet lagged and at 6 pm collapsed on the bed for sound 5 hrs sleep waking up only at 10.55. Despite being that late I decided to give myself a chance and went to Hot Male go-go hoping well tested S will be available. He was indeed, told him to dress up and I watched second part of the show distributing few red notes here and there. S was hungry so we went to Foodland to feed him , I got some caramel custard and tea and then off we went home. Best and most enthusiastic off this trip so far. We met few times already so each of us knew what to expect and he was plain great.

Day 2 No rush in the morning, N wanted to stay longer but I was hungry so ordered shower and trip to Unesco for breakfast. Then packed my luggage and went to my next dig – Baan Silom in soi 3. That’s one of my most favorite places in Silom and almost no trip goes without me staying there. Nothing fancy but very comfortable and spacious rooms, full size refrigerator, friendly hosts and night guard, very close to bars yet soi 3 with exception of morning and afternoon rush hours is quiet street. 7/11 across the street, and lively market right around the corner. Room was available so I was able to check in right away and got the room I was sleeping in many times before. For last few trips I become fan of Jey Spa in Sukhumvit soi 43 . I like their selection and fast response time . Guy I wanted based on their Line feed, Ten was not available this week so I settled on Noom whom I saw in Dec 2001 in Sabaidee spa and for whom I got very good feedback from one of our members who was entertained by him few times. On my way there I went to Siam paragon just to stroll through as I can’t recall I was there in the past. I’m not mall person and in Bangkok neighborhood markets like soi 10 or soi 5 plus Silom stores is all I need. Arrived at Jey bit earlier and noticed they have discreet but visible sign now. It’s about 10 minutes walk from either Phrom Phnom or Thonglor BTS stations. Place is bit upscale , fitting it’s neighborhood and VIP rooms are like regular hotels rooms. Sure it cists but they have cheaper options too. 1.5 hr in VIP is 1250 for massage , when one books guy is informed what is his minimum tip rate for desired length of time. I was told 1800 for 1.5 hr. Noom is one of those who look better in flesh than on pics , much better. If not recommendation I’d probably miss him. He turned out great guy and it was very pleasant and rewarding 1.5 hrs . What a hunk, what a body ! I was almost tempted to have another session right away but start feeling sleepy so returned to hotel to collapse one the bed from 4.30 to 8.30. Those jet lags are killing me. Then to G’Bangkok in soi 4 for my dinner warmly welcomed by not only boss there but also both barkers from Banana across the soi. I have secret crush on one of them but I’m too shy to approach him but always promise myself I will do next trip. During dinner one of members Lined me asking what are my planes for tonight and I realized that I have none. It’s almost 10 pm and I don’t know where to go. What’s wrong with me ? I took easy way and went to Jupiter in the same soi. Wise decision. I entered just before first boy parade. Everybody was in briefs but without number. I was stunned. Probably first time in any bar I ever been in Thailand I liked every single one of them. Not even one I’d not take home. 100% approval rate, wow! And this comes from me , never being fan of Jupiter and it’s boys. While I like their look I find their lack of facial expression off putting although I know if’s just a management ordered pose because when boys are sitting with you or being offed they behave normally . In the past I never had much luck with them with exception of certain transplant from Tawan and my visits there were only for visual pleasure. I also don’t get logic of boys hidden in the corners and parading without numbers , how we are supposed to get them ? seems too much effort. But last two offs from there were very good so I started sniffing around tonight for an opportunity I watched a show , mid way was another parade, this time boys were in boxers but still without numbers. Some sported even trace of smile, o, la, la. Show quite interesting and entertaining and one can glimpse erect cock here and there for few precious seconds , thing unheard of before. After show third parade, this time bare chested guys in jeans but sporting numbers, sign that it’s time to get serious . Since one of guys noticing my interest smiled at me broadly during that walkabout I asked mamasan to bring him over. Came all in smiles and when asked about going with me accepted immediately so I did not even bother with drink but just paid off fee and off we went parading through soi holding hands at his insistence. Very embarrassing as I’m very shy guy , on Silom he changed to embrace me and that’s how we arrived in hotel, my heart pumping. Seemed great off again but in the room return to usual Jupiter scheme, sweet but hasty. Long time yes but 6000 so I declined an offer. So we had 40 minutes steamy, sweet but rush session. When he left I was both happy and disappointed as I could use his great company longer but no, not for 6000. Since I slept during day I did not feel sleepy at night and after he left I caught with Line and e-mails as well as forum , even surveyed Grindr and went to bed only at 3.30 am ending quite a nice day 2
