Hope UNESCO will not remove Foodland's World Heritage status because new neighbour

“Stunning beaches “, ok. I purposely don’t go to Hawaii so I’m not let down when I get to Pattaya. At least it’s not as expensive as Hawaii.

Day 4: Woke up early around 7am and decided to walk to the beach. when I reached there, I saw the people starting to setup their sun lounges. this is where Pattaya beats the Philippines. they are way more organised, so more people can enjoy the place at a budget. I didn't noticed that I reached the central festival mall on my walk, it was still closed so I decided to have breakfast at the Hilton. I sat outside to enjoy the view as it wasn't too hot. I didn't realise this place can be really busy, good thing they have a small marker to show that the table is occupied so that a lone diner like me won't be surprised that his table is taken when one get's replishment from the buffet. Good variety of food and some fresh juices and salads. It was worth the 700 Baht. After breakfast went back to my hotel and enjoy the swimming pool and the pool bar. Then lunch at terminal 21 again, where I found the PadThai station was value for money. Also found the a good deal of 1 kilo dehydrated strawberries for 500 Baht on the ground floor pop up stalls. Was planning to go to jomtien but it rained in the afternoon so just took a nap. In the evening, I started my trek to nice boys. when I reached there, there were already 3 customers on the benches near the door, so the mamasan offered me the bench further from the door. the advantage was I got more privacy, the disadvantage was it didn't provide good lighting on the guys on stage. the guys on stage recognised me and started to flirt. I called the guy I had with yesterday for another round of fun. after that I tried the chuck wow contest, unfortunately it lasted less than a minute. with a guy I didn't see near the sofa was already ready to shoot. but he showed me the evidence before taking the reward. I was hoping the lone chubby guy to get the reward, so I was a bit disappointed, but it is what it is. I decided to take another guy to sit with me. most of the guys in nice guy don't speak Thai, so you either have to use google translate or the mamasans. it seems business is picking up for nice boys, at least before the 1030pm, as there were multiple customers coming in and out when I was there for about an hour. I don't know the scene after that, where I suspect most of the punters are in boyztown for the shows. there was also a VIP customer who went straight to the booth and have a whisky prepared for him - and all the guys were greeting him when he arrived. I wonder if he is in this forum. A quick motorcycle ride to BBB. this time the matured lady mamasan seemed to recognise me from last night, and ushered me to the table right in front of the stage. I think I figured out the formula that BBB is taking. They are playing both as a hosto bar, where guys are fully clothed and plays hosts for you to table them and order drink$, plus their show has enough variety to those looking for cabaret and more explicit stuffs. it reminds me of a show place in Las Vegas where the performer plays a medly of songs, with such a variety, the chances of you not liking a song in the whole performance is slim. Unfortunately, again no muscle hunk in sight tonight in BBB. The bboy hunk this time performed with a special underwear with a ludicrous thin prosthetic. it was a waste, if he could've found one with a mildly normal sized dildo on that underwear. he could do a solo act, and blow the Tawan guys off. But alas it was not to be, maybe it was a sign that he is not offable so just make the act funny rather than sexy. I noticed some of the performers don't have condoms, just rubber bands to act as cock rings. I asked one of the guys if he could come with me after the show. I thought he said yes, but after the show, he was with his buds on the terrace having drinks. I don't know if there was something wrong with the translation. I decided to call it a night a rode the baht bus back to my hotel. i didn't get to sleep with the guy, but overall and enjoyable night.

The welfare of Palestinians is not a priority for Iran. Iran wants to stir the pot in Gaza and Lebanon. They help keep the cycle going. Regarding Netanyahu, it seems Israelis blame him. Can anyone be surprised how it looks, that a corrupt leader willing to diminish democracy and enrich himself may have taken his eye off the ball?

A new lady bar opened Friday night, promising Thailand’s most endangered species. “Virgin” is situated directly opposite the Foodland restaurant. Regardless of the nature of the business, always find it encouraging when any new venue opens in Patpong.

In his 2022 memoir, Acquanaut, I recall rescuer Rick Stanton mentioning that Dom was the only team member who didn’t receive a note from his parents when hand-written messages from relatives were brought into the cave following the boys’ discovery in chamber 9. He was reportedly visibly distraught. I think Stanton said he did not live with his parents and was being cared for by his grandmother. The team captain, Dom was a gifted player and the team was like a second family. Who knows if being suddenly alone in a distant land, and without the support he was accustomed to in Thailand, how that may have taken its roll. I choose to remembered hijm as he was when we first got to know about him on his teammates. Those are the memories that will endure.

I went to one of their Sunday parties on my last trip where they do a foam party on their top floor, they had a couple of guys that work at Dreamboys there to have fun with. One of them picked me to be his bottom to be part of the show, I'm not shy 😉 He had a pretty thick dick, I think he expected me to scream or something because of his size....but you know I've been to Brasil a bit, and know how to handle these guys, lol Was a pretty fun time, I was with a top that had many more chances due to the number of bottoms there are out there.....

Desperately sad, but not inexplicable. I imagine he might have felt a lot of pressure, given the circumstances of his being there, so far away from home. He may have felt extremely homesick, but felt completely trapped by the feeling of letting people down if he went home. Questions need to be asked of the acadamy he was at, and why they were not more attentive to this young adult in their care.

agree if true. Russia deserves better than another crooked and blood-soaked tsar

From The Nation Lufthansa has announced it will resume direct flights to Thailand with the world's largest passenger plane on Sunday. Lufthansa has announced it will resume direct flights to Thailand with the world's largest passenger plane on Sunday. The decision to deploy the Airbus A380 on the Bangkok-Munich route from October 29 came in response to tremendous demand, particularly during the winter high season, said the German flag carrier’s regional manager Anlee Do. Nicknamed Superjumbo, the A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jetliner with a capacity of 509 passengers. The standard cabin layout features eight seats in first class, 78 in business, 52 in premium economy, and 371 in economy. Lufthansa is the only airline operating the A380 nonstop between Thailand and Europe, said Do. She added that travel demand for Thailand is consistent and strong thanks to its location as a gateway to Southeast Asia.

Never heard someone is going to Pattaya due it's “Stunning beaches “...

Sociopaths usually get their due eventually. Still waiting to see Trump sent to the jailhouse.

Agree. The coroner’s report that appears in the Guardian article concludes that the tragedy could not have been prevented. At best, that’s a highly speculative judgement. At worst, it appears to be over reaching on part of coroner.

Only the monkey knows and it’s not made itself available for comment.

shock for me

in defense of guys I must say that surprisingly often , after prayers are said and money distributed they actually wait for signal they are free to go. Even at times It's me who needs to invite them to other side of door. Big screen TV, running air conditioner, access to stocked refrigerator, all have their charms. On at least two occasions this year they shyly asked if , when I can go about my business , they can sleep in the room. Since those were my regulars I agreed and in one case if gave me kind of free short time after I returned.

I hope he wins the primary. It will be the Democrats' best chance. If anyone can lose against Trump, it's Biden.

I'll not comment on the second line with its vitriolic and quite uncalled for stupidity. As for the first line, this boy was fulfilling his dream. I have no doubt he was deliriously happy to be achieving that. If we all stayed home, what a boring, moronic lot we'd all be!

I was interested in going to this place since it opened and finally managed to discover it this week-end. HotHouse is located close to Republica in Sao Paulo, so not the safest place in Sao Paulo particularly in the middle of the night ... Use uber or taxis to get and to leave from there, avoiding to show your telephone in the street. No sign in the street indicates HotHouse. It is at first floor to the left of a street bar as shown in the pic below. A security guy stands at the beginning of the steep stairs. He will give you a card which you must show to get your drinks. Price of cover charge is 40 R$ (and you pay all your drinks) or 80 R$ which can be used to pay for drinks : you start paying your drinks when the total of drinks is over 80 R$. Another option, which is advised : 100 R$. In this case, you are seated on a sofa in a VIP place just in front of the strippers who will all come to you to be cuddled (and tipped) and you start paying your drinks when the total of drinks is over 100 R$. Drinks are rather cheap : beer in tin : R$ 15 ; beer in bottle : R$20 ; soft drink : R$10 ; caipirinha : R$20/40 ; whiskies : R$40/50. The security guard at entry will ask you your name and give you a card (which takes 5 seconds) and then start typing on his telephone, changing screens, typing again, ticking boxes, putting a (totally useless) wristband, during 2 to 3 minutes for each customer. Brazilian bureaucracy ... It depends on the day, but there are around 6 strippers, plus 2 "interactive boys" who will do the live sex show ... and more. Example of strippers present this week end : First 2 strippers, wearing only underwear, will start dancing, then they will come in a sexy outfit (soldier, doctor, ...) and finally will come back with a (normally quite big) hard on and ask customer to put their underwear back on them. You do not have to tip, but it is fair to give around 20 R$ particularly if you spend some time cuddling chest or body or groping dick or ass. If you are in the room (and pay only 40 or 80 R$), dancers will also come to you to be tipped. VIP customers (the ones on sofa) are regularly given a towel to wipe out the sweat from the bodies of the dancers. Then another group of 2 dancers will perform the same scenario. At some point of time, there might be a shower show with one of the dancer in a shower cabin and one or 2 lucky customers will be asked to rub soap on the dancer's body. Around 2.30 am the interactive show starts and 2 models come on stage and start sucking, rimming and fucking during 5 minutes. Then the lights are switched off and customers are welcome to interact with the actors. "Putaria" (as they call it) starts. The first day I attended the show, a friday, the customers were not many and pretty shy and I was the only one to take the actors to the dark room and have fun with them. The second day, a saturday, there were much more people not shy at all and pretty much aware of what was to be done. As soon as the light went off, a bunch of 5 or 6 eager customers came to suck, rim, cuddle, kiss, ... both actors and take them to the dark room for more serious action. A darkroom with condoms is accessible at all time for people who are bored by the show or want to interact together. Voyeurs are attending of course. Another option is Eduardo who wanders in the room, talks to customer, sits with them and can be taken to darkroom. He expects some present of course ... He normally tops and more rarely bottoms. Hot House was a great discovery. I will go back. Shows start around 10 pm with first totally naked models around 10.45 pm, which makes it possible to see the show in Lagoa and go to Hot House (some models might be the same in both locations ...).

Comings The night market has now fully explanded from Surawong to Silom with the final third nearest Silom given over to mostly food stalls and outdoor restaurant seating. And the routine of erecting and disassembling occurs daily. Goings The Paddy Field, a long time sports bar adjacent to Foodland, has closed its doors. It had a strong following among UK and Aussie football and rugby fans but most have migrated to the larger Shenanigans on Surawong. I liked it because it offered a great perch to observe the entrance to Dream Boy whose performers could be found lounging outside during breaks. Also gone is the BarBar on Patpong 2 whose barker was famous for slapping a stick and proclaiming “S and M.” And it seems the adjacent lady bar may have also closed. Would not be surprised if there are already plans in works for the space. Also making an exit—if forecasters are to believed—will be the excessive heat with decreasing temperatures and welcome rain predicted to kick off monsoon season.

From Entertainment.com The lawmaker who authored Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” bill will serve four months in federal prison for fraud and money laundering. Former Republican state representative Joe Harding was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Gainesville last Thursday, according to The Gainesville Sun. He was initially indicted for wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements in connection with COVID-19 relief fraud in December 2022. Specifically, Harding received more than $150,000 in pandemic relief funds that were intended to keep small businesses afloat, submitting numerous loan applications for “dormant” businesses. Although Harding initially claimed that he was not guilty, he pleaded guilty in March, with prosecutors dropping three of the charges in a plea deal. In a press release from the Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney Jason Coody, who announced Harding’s sentence, said that “the theft of any amount of taxpayer funds is inexcusable.” From Russia to Florida, far-right leaders are driving a new wave of legislation that aims to erase LGBTQ\+ people from public life. “However, the defendant’s deceptive acts of diverting emergency financial assistance from small businesses during the pandemic is simply beyond the pale,” Coody said. “Today’s sentence both punishes the defendant’s criminal conduct and should serve as a significant deterrent to others who would selfishly steal from their fellow citizens to unlawfully enrich themselves.”

From Thai PBS World Thailand will bid to host World Pride in 2028, to reflect the country’s acceptance of and open mindedness regarding LGBT+ issues. Government spokesperson Chai Wacharonke quoted Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin as saying that his government will fully support the bid and, if the country is selected, he would allocate budget for the hosting of the event. The event would also help boost the economy and tourism, Srettha said. The 2024 World Pride event will be held in Australia. In 2025 it will be in the US and the Netherlands in 2026. Srettha was speaking during a meeting in which participants discussed marriage equality and a proposal to allow transgender people to be covered by the country’s universal health coverage. Chai said a draft marriage equality law will be put on the Cabinet agenda next Tuesday, and Parliament is expected to consider it in early December. There should, however, be a roadmap for the process, which must include opinions from all sides, he said.

Expert medical opinions are everywhere these days. 🙄

The GOP Grifters that get punished are the dumb ones that don't know how to cover their tracks or the ones that piss off the wrong people. Sara Huckabee for example. There had to be a more palatable way to fund a gal-pal trip to Paris with Arkansas tax revenue than claiming the $19000 was for a lectern, too easy to disprove. The trouble with Joe Harding and the GOP is there are so many more grifters queued up to follow with more GOP grift. Didn't Iowa Repubs actually get rid of their auditor (a Dem) which seems to give their GOP government free reign with state funds?

CNN — The US Army reservist accused of killing 18 people and injuring 13 others in a shooting rampage in Maine this week was found dead Friday evening – apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot – after a two-day manhunt, a state official said. Robert Card, accused of committing Wednesday’s massacre at a bowling alley and a restaurant in Lewiston, Maine, was found dead around 7:45 p.m. Friday near the Androscoggin River in the Lisbon Falls area, some 10 miles Lewiston, state Public Safety Commissioner Michael Sauschuck told reporters.

oops - I meant don't speak English. I didn't ask the off fee. the boy didn't inform me.

You obviously do`

I was in Pattaya and BKK end of July & 1st week of August. I used Grindr. In both cities (plus a side trip to Siem Reap) within 5 minutes of signing on to the hotel's WiFi I had at least 15 messages from locals, MB and non-MB. The messages were persistent throughout my entire trip. I had no difficulty at all connecting with interested locals.

I've had prostate cancer and chose what I thought was the best option: remove it once and for all. I was fortunate that the cancer was encapsulated in the prostate and had not metastasized and no further treatment was necessary. My brother had and continues to have prostate cancer, opted for radiation and now the cancer has spread and is reeking havoc with him. There's no one right answer that applies to all who have this cancer. I consider myself lucky, though my sex life is substantially reduced ... but I'm alive. I'll take the sex loss, gladly.

hope he fit specifications Issanese are famous and cherished for

it must be mostly Asian thing. Take Indian bus, Chinese train or go to Thai bar and you will have deafening " music". They must like it and our choice is to bear with grin or leave. Earplugs may help too . Asking to tone it down if results in anything it will be cranking it up , if at all possible

I've never figured out why bars continue to blast their music, to a level which make conversation with one's friends or betrothed nearly impossible. Painful to listen to, and dangerous to one's hearing. This music is supposed to ENTICE people into their bar? I would imagine that, on balance, it does just the opposite.

From Pattaya News Thai investors are set to launch five new airlines, pouring in a minimum of 3.85 billion baht. These carriers are poised to commence operations in 2024, aiming to tap into Thailand’s burgeoning aviation market, projected to be worth 320 billion baht next year. According to the Nation Thailand report, Really Cool Airlines, P80 Air, Pattaya Airways, Siam Seaplane, and Landarch Airlines have all received an Air Operating Licence from the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT). To commence commercial flights, however, they still have to wait for the CAAT’s approval of their Air Operator Certificates (AOC). One of the the above five Thai-owned carriers, Really Cool Airlines, expects to receive the AOC in January 2024, which will allow them to start operating the flights as early as in the second quarter. Patee Sarasin, CEO of Really Cool Airlines, emphasized that during the first two years, Really Cool Airlines will focus on Asian routes, particularly to Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai, operating four Airbus A330-300 aircraft. With an initial crew of 130, they will initially offer chartered flights from March to May before transitioning to regular flights and expanding to European markets. “We would not compete with Thai Airways International on their regular routes but would focus on flights to secondary cities, which would also help further promote Thailand’s tourism industry,” Mr. Patee said. On another note, P80 Air, a subsidiary of Thoresen Thai Agencies Pcl, projects getting its AOC in 8-9 months and commencing commercial operations in the last quarter of the next year. In its initial two years, P80 Air will focus on secondary Chinese cities, operating four Boeing B737-800 NG aircraft. Pattaya Airways is also eyeing a launch in the final quarter of 2024, aiming to operate on both domestic routes within Thailand and across ASEAN destinations. The airline will start with cargo delivery using an ATR72 aircraft for the first three years and later add more planes to meet rising demand from e-commerce companies. Meanwhile, Siam Seaplane is considering adding amphibian planes (Cessna Caravan 208 model) to its fleet to cater to high-end customers visiting seaside resorts and ports in Thailand. Their debut route will connect to Ko Lipe in Satun province, significantly shortening travel time to the island. Lastly, Landarch Airlines intends to operate short chartered flights between major cities in southern provinces, beginning in April 2024, with its hub in Hat Yai, Songkhla province. They plan to acquire five Cessna C208 B, 12-seater aircraft in the first five years and expand the fleet to 15 planes, serving destinations in other provinces.

Getting rid of Hamas is noble undertaking but impossible to achieve even if all Gazans would be annihilated. Quite opposite parking lot solution by it's cruelty may invite even more support for Hamas next incarnation. As long as Palestinians will be driven into desperation that will feed their support for extreme measures.

correct on both accounts. You can physically eliminate terrorists by jailing or killing them but that only makes room for next batch or you can starve them support of local population but that may be tall order if occupant or government is seen as even worse and/ or less effective. throughout human history many terrorists were later labelled freedom fighters and become prime ministers or presidents. And some of those , first lawfully elected or elevated by popular will tuned to terrorize their own population and neighbours.

I advertised on Grindr looking for massage and they contacted me. Both done in places where men and women would go but separate areas. Plenty others also offered but at their home addresses. I did not try any of the home ones.

Eternal shame on Kissinger, hope he rots in hell when his time comes. Even now, 40 odd years later my blood pressure is rising to 250/140 when I think about that. As I said above at least USA and their colleagues in shame contributed mightily to placing Cambodia back on her feet.

@stevenkesslar, you should have sucked it up. 9/11 was a horrible day, but this time was the US's turn to have a horrible day after decades of US abussing, bombing and murdering other peoples. You should have taken the hit as a good loser. You should have improved your defenses as you did. You should have target the terrorists leaders and assets as you did. But you should have not invaded another country. Is this tribalist mentality that is universal and is taking us to these horrible massacres. Is this specific Superiority mentality that takes the US and another few powers to believe they are the world police. Imagine the US or Israel or Rusia or China accepting a UN resolution. Instead, we are bullied and talked down and lectured.

I look forward to Putin being arrested as a war criminal and imprisoned for the rest of his miserable life. Thailand's support for him is an international disgrace.

I’ve been there only once back in 2016. I was too scared to meet the locals and I didn’t like the smell of horse shit in the Square market area. The locals all seemed like hustlers. They were all asking for money and/alcohol online. I had lots of free alcohol in the fridge at my all inclusive hotel room but you can’t bring Moroccans back to your hotel. Also I have never paid for sex so found it off putting them asking for money straight away. There was no connection or attraction it felt. The only guy I met was Russian. I invited him to my room. The hotel reception made a big fuss and said no visitors. He came in black vest with colourful pattern on it and short. He was masculine but I think they could he say gay. I shouted and said he was a friend I studied with in London. We were both mid 20s. They said we could chat by the pool but not in my room. It was late at night and cold by the pool. We stayed by the pool for a bit and then I said fuck them and I took him to my room. He was Very handsome long dark hair, fit but not too muscly, tall, blue eyes. First we watched an movie together while getting drunk on the free alcohol. Holding hands and touching each other up. He had a big dick but was bottom only. I was happy with that because I had 5 days of pent up aggression to unload on him. We took a shower together. Then I gave him a massage and starting rimming is magnificent fat ass. Just my type and stroking his fat cock before fucking the shit out of him. I fuck the best after days of sexual frustration. He stayed the night and left the next morning as he was headed off to the desert for the next 4 days. He begged me to come with him but I was travelling with my brother who was staying in the room next door. I’m older and wiser now and would plan my trip better now and travel solo. I would also be a lot braver and more obvious as I saw lots of hot young local guys giving signals and I would just look down embarrassed. I am naturally shy but I have become a lot more confident over the past few years.

There have been some changes in the local massage scene since my last trip in July. One new shop has entered the scene to become the lone mixed (male and female staffed) shop in either Patpong 1 or 2. Chaichana has opened on Patpong 1, nearer the Surawong end on the same side the original Madrid was located. When I stopped by the other night, it had three guys—two of whom I found attractive—seated outside with four young women. They offer all the traditional services, including neck and shoulder massage. Some of the public services are offered on the first floor. Thai and oil massage facilities are located on the lower level accessed by wide and easily negotiable stairs. There are three large massage suites, all with massage tables and en suite shower. One hour oil 500. Hours 3pm until midnight. Attire is red polo shirts. Meanwhile on Surawong, there has been some consolidation and (if memory serves me correctly) some space swapping. The shop at the corner of the driveway for Tarntawan Hotel is now known as Avarin and has also taken over the space which appears to have been the long-time home of Green Massage a few shop fronts away. Green is now situated in smaller quarters between the twin Avarin shops. Avarin staff in maroon polos while Green continues to wear the inexplicable orange. Avarin one oil 590. Further up Surawong you’ll find Olivia’s encamped in a large quarters adjacent to the still more expansive Urban Male shop. All of the shops mentioned have male and female staffs. Toured the new and Foodland market in the recently opened Park Silom building at Silom and Convent roads. Located on the lower level, it’s L-shaped layout is expansive, featuring a salad bar and prepared (7-11 style) take away meals starting at 49 bht. It also offers an expanded beer, wine and liquor shop. The attached Took Lae Dee restaurant was going quite strong at 10pm on Monday night with about 25 customers. Like the flagship Patpong location, market and restaurant open 24/7. And for those in need, you’ll find an immaculately maintained restroom on same level. There’s a Dairy Queen outlet also on lower level that I think closed at 9.

If you suck a guy with this med on his penis, will it make your tongue hard?

sure , better to send them to North Korea, certainly not Islamic, for sure democratic as very name says Korean Peoples-Democratic Republic and nobody is boated in as country is sealed from outside pretty much.
