stop talking about me, I'm shy

That's why trip reports are the meat and potatoes of this forum. Trip reporters have saved to purchase a ticket and accommodations for a limited time. They strive to make efficient use of that time and it should come as no surprise that they wring out as much enjoyment as they feel comfortable doing. You may label them "cheap" sexual encounters. Perhaps you'd prefer that they have more expensive sexual encounters, or no sexual encounters at all. For most of us that involves a lot of sex. That's what this thread illustrated. Members read the forum in hopes that they'll find descriptions of those trips. They enjoy reading about the bars, massage shops and hotels that are visited. It provides them with tips that may help shape their next trip. For some members who are not able to travel owing to financial of health reasons, these reports provide a source of entertainment they can't find elsewhere. One of the reasons for the success of this board is the opportunity to post about many different topics: travel, current events, politics, food, health.. But trips and venue reports will always trump those secondary topics. To wit, this thread has attracted 4.6k views from members alone, not including the many others from non-member readers.

they may have whatever they want on their lists, best Thai food is chicken with cashew nuts followed closely by shallots and cherry tomatoes pizza at Madrid Tavern. Rest is just a human feed

I read your trip reports with interest. I'm sorry about your disappointment with the guy at the moonlight bar. Moonlight bar is my favorite because the staff and captains are very friendly. I loved the energy and atmosphere there. I think I lost my heart to a Laotian who worked there. I've been out with him 12 times in the last 3 trips. I am planning a new trip in 2 weeks and would like to write a report.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year fellow posters. I hope that the spirit of the season brings us to a renewed sense of peace, particularly on the message board where cantankerous is a rising attitude. I am no angel, but I would like to ask everyone to tone down any hostility toward a fellow poster. Merry Christmas @Olddaddy!!!

From the Nation 2023 was an eventful year for Suvarnabhumi Airport, the sprawling gateway to Thailand on the outskirts of Bangkok. The Nation looks back on 12 turbulent months at the airport that serves as the gateway to Thailand for most international travellers. But first, a quick introduction to Suvarnabhumi Airport. Suvarnabhumi (“golden land” in Thai), is also known unofficially as Bangkok International Airport. But Thailand’s main international airport is actually located in neighbouring Samut Prakan province, from where it connects with downtown Bangkok via the Airport Rail Link train. Opened in September 2006, the 32.4-square-kilometre (3,240 hectares) Suvarnabhumi is the country’s largest airport and among the biggest in Southeast Asia, serving as a regional hub for aviation. The airport is also a major global hub for air freight (20th busiest in 2019), with a designated cargo Airport Free Zone and road links to the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), Thailand’s biggest economic zone across three provinces on the eastern seaboard. Suvarnabhumi Airport reached its 17th year in 2023 with operator Airports of Thailand (AOT) vowing to restore its status as one of the world’s top airports after it slipped sharply in the global rankings in recent years. Suvarnabhumi held 10th position in the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2010 but nosedived to 77th in 2022 before pulling up to 68th this year. In May, AOT director Kirati Kitmanawat set a goal of making Suvarnabhumi one of the world’s best airports for travellers again. The target is to break into the top 50 within two years and the top 30 in four years, he said. To meet that goal, AOT needs to tackle the long queues at check-in, passenger screening and immigration counters, especially during rush hour, which have plagued the airport for years. The authority said it will set up around 200 self-check-in and self-service bag drop points to cut the queues. AOT has also earmarked 9 billion baht for terminal expansion to the east of the airport, with construction expected to begin at the start of next year. After years of construction, the new satellite terminal at Suvarnabhumi was opened in September this year, with incoming Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin cutting the ribbon. Satellite Terminal 1 (SAT-1) cost 35 billion baht (US$1 billion) and will boost Suvarnabhumi’s capacity by 33% from 45 million to 60 million passengers per year. SAT-1 is connected to the main airport terminal by an automated people mover (APM) train system. The terminal has six storeys, two of them underground, with a total floor area of 251,400 square metres. AOT advises passengers flying from the new terminal to have at least 20 minutes in hand, since the APM trip from the main terminal to SAT-1 takes around 18 minutes, with services leaving every five minutes. Passengers are also urged to check their flight information carefully, as entering SAT-1 by mistake may require them to restart the whole check-in process again, resulting in missed flights.

@revengeboo Thank you so much for writing report on R3 and Sauna Mania!

Peter, you seem to harbor a particular disdain for men in your own age group. They appear to represent everything that's wrong with the gay scene in Bangkok. You present yourself as above it all who is sought out as a sex partner when he travels aboard for the pleasure of your company. And your partners are all educated, "intelligent university men" who all approach you first. Give me a break! So it's us slobs who are dating the hoi polloi who didn't neatly fit into your construct of your ideal sex partner. You purport to know exactly what goes on on Soi 4, Patpong and wherever us undesirables congregate. Your have written regularly about your partner. You're the one who introduced him into various threads. You made him part of your narrative. I even agreed that he--and his friend who sleeps on the sofa bed in your living room--made a good decision in deciding not to return to a gay bar. I joked that they may have wished to wait to hear the offer from the old gent in your age range before they tossed their drinks over him. Granted if I said they may want to delay their action because their glasses maybe contained a luscious Mouton Rothschild it would have come across as the pun it was intended to be. There's no cause to apologize for the comments of myself or Floridarob for disrupting this thread (feel free to include yourself, Peter). You have apparently missed the point that this thread (and it is indeed excellent) is all about sexual desire and seduction. Soon or later you're going to accept the fact that you're an old timer just like the great majority of contributors to this forum. You may drink better wines and dine at better restaurants than they rest of us but you still pursue young men for your pleasure. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Somehow boss Beer still manages to get a steady flow of handsome young new recruits to her bar. Although not all can handle the in-bar service requirements 😂 My boyfriend and I were completely smitten by one new lad called Chon last September and we offed-him long-time for about 12 days straight until the end of my holiday. Just hope he is still there in January 😍

Interior Minister Anutin Charvirakul said that he was ready to consider expanding the zones where entertainment places can open until 4am in order to boost the economy during a visit Saturday night to Khao San Road. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2707248/zones-for-nightspot-4am-closing-time-can-expand-anutin

Maybe, but not my cut & paste.

sure thing. Foodland version is less fancy looking though. Not sure what looks bad in Hanoi version, for me both samples above look salivatingly tasty

From Coconuts Bangkok By Nicky Tanskul The MRT Pink Line launched just a few weeks ago, allowing people to commute from Khae Rai all the way to Min Buri. With more stations now available for convenience, and not to mention less traffic jams in places where the stations were constructed, I decided to see what’s worth highlighting if you’re feeling adventurous. This is the second skytrain line to launch this year after the Yellow Line (we also wrote a Yellow Line guide in the wake of its launch, so check that out if you’re still hankering to explore some more of the city). Where? The MRT Pink Line starts from the Nonthaburi Civic Center station on Ratthanthibet road and stretches all the way to Min Buri. The line stretches over 34.5 kilometers and comprises 30 stations. When and how? Trains run from 6am to 10pm. NOT MIDNIGHT like the BTS lines! Fares run from THB15 to THB45. However, the Pink Line is undergoing its trial run period which will end on Jan. 2, 2024. So, in the meantime, all rides aboard the Pink Line are free. How often? A digital display showed trains arriving every 8-10 minutes or so. How fast does it go? This genuine, bonafide and electrified ride feels as fast as an overhead BTS train. But you can hear its Bombardier Innovia Monorail 300’s IGBT inverters kick it up a notch, so be sure to hang on to something.

From VN Express Gia Lai, situated in the northern part of the Central Highlands, ranks as Vietnam's second-largest province, trailing only Nghe An. It spans 15,500 square kilometers and is about 481 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. To its northeast lies Quang Ngai Province, to the east is Binh Dinh Province, while the southeast shares a border with Phu Yen Province. In the west, Gia Lai is adjacent to Cambodia's Ratanakiri Province, with Dak Lak Province to the south and Kon Tum Province to the north. The provincial capital is Pleiku, and the primary tourist attractions are concentrated within Pleiku City and its environs, spanning roughly 20-30 kilometers. Gia Lai experiences a tropical monsoon climate characterized by high humidity, substantial rainfall, and the absence of storms and frost. The climate exhibits two distinct seasons: a rainy season from May to October and a dry season spanning from November to the following April. The average annual temperature hovers between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.

It has fallen very far, and I think the fall is totally deserved. I also notice how the article glosses over the problems it had at the beginning, which required expensive fixes. Some board members may remember. 1. Insufficient toilets in the terminal building. 2. Ground subsidence below the runways. 3. Greenhouse effect from all the glass in the roof. There was a time when each immigration desk had to have a silly little umbrella over it otherwise the poor officer would be roasted in the course of a shift. If I'm not wrong, it was designed by a European (French?) architect - who obviously knew nothing about tropical climates. In any case, looking at the perpetual mess that is Charles de Gaulle airport, I don't know if the French are the best people to hire to design airports. Even now, there are two fundamental flaws in the concept behind the airport. Firstly, Suvarnabhumi was designed as a single terminal to handle a large number of flights. According to this list, it handled 28 million passengers in 2022, a little less than the 32 million handled by Singapore Changi airport, and less than half of Dubai's 66 million. If you've transited through Singapore or Dubai recently, you will have noticed the vast difference. Dubai has three terminals and Singapore has four. You don't have everybody crowding into a single choke point. Those other airports are almost serene in comparison to Suvarnabhumi, despite handling more passengers. Secondly, Suvarnabhumi is still stuck with the notion of glamour travel. Too many shops feature dutyfree luxury goods, a poor fit with the mass travel of today. Food and drink are also overpriced inside the terminal's transit areas. There was one time when I was transiting through Suvarnabhumi and I just needed a ballpoint pen. I had a notebook, I wanted to write something, but it was impossible to find a shop selling the humble ballpoint pen. On another occasion, I was flying off from Bangkok to another destination and saw on the weather report that it was raining heavily in the destination (whose airport was pretty basic, and planes are often remotely parked). I thought I would buy a water-proof jacket/windbreaker, but it took a lot of walking from shop to shop to find one under $100 without a brandname. On a recent transit stop in Singapore, I could buy useful things like a charger, plug adapter and (if I wanted) a powerbank. I was also impressed by signs in a food court (yes, they had a food court) that said something about how their prices were not different from their outlets downtown. Sure, SIngapore prices are not cheap even in downtown, but at least you get the idea that the operators are not trying to scalp you. It only reminded me of how a humble bowl of noodles that I had in the Suvarnabhumi basement (where the airport train arrives) cost 270 baht!

Thanks for encouragement! I am aiming for not one but two such parties next year in June when I am in Bangkok. Have to think through the logistics but I have months to prepare! Forum members are welcome to attend if you happen to be present!

I believe you're wise to leave the lust to others. 😉 Otherwise, I'm sure there's nothing left to tell. 🙄

And yet here you are arguing further. It wasn't a standalone statement, it was a response to a quote. It does matter where you are, since that affects the chances of you being murdered. Yes, you can only be murdered once but you're much more likely to be murdered in Brazil than Thailand.

Not likely Just senile

Even though that ended with a period, not an emoji or exclamation point....I get that it's a joke/humor 😉

With few exceptions I usually agree with most of @macaroni21's posts which are well thought out with considered arguments. But the first one above seems to me to have many flaws. 1. When it comes to tourism to Thailand, frankly the average wage of a country basicallly means virtually nothing. Of the vast number of Chinese tourists who used to visit Thailand, it is fact that the majority were on these cheap zero-dollar packages, travelled around in groups and stayed in cheap hotels. Sure they pumped cash into the local economy, but on a per capita basis it was not high. Naturally there were some wealthy Chinese who were on individual packages. Some even purchased apartments and generally spent a great deal more in the up-market shopping malls. But the situation now has changed very dramatically. Within China, there has been considerable negative publicity given to the murder of four citizens and wounding of others in Siam Paragon in October. One Chinese tourist was killed. According to the Bangkok Post, 60,000 Chinese then immediately cancelled their trips to Thailand. Chinese put a big premium on safety and Thailand generally had the reputation as a very safe destination. That has all quickly changed. The Chinese are avid social media readers and that frequently exerts a great deal of influence, especially in the rural areas whose population tended to feed into the zero-dollar tour market. The Paragon murder was very high on the list of posts on several major sites. Now hoteliers and tourism entrepreneurs in Chiang Mai have called for the government to enact stricter gun controls. For along with the murder in Paragon, the Chinese media has been giving a surprised public the facts about the huge number of guns in private hands in this country (some 10 million), by far the highest of any country in S.E. Asia. Suddenly Thailand seems a less attractive destination for many Chinese. And as the article on the OP states, making entry to the country easier will do precisely nothing to change that perception. Then there is the present economic situation in China which is very bad and due to get much worse. Youth Unemployment figures are so disastrous China has stopped updating them. In the 16-24 yo bracket, the numbers were 21% earlier this year - and that was before this year's roughly 10 million university graduates were added in the summer. These young people were not on any list of regular travellers pre-covid. But now they are increasingly having to depend on family members to keep them financially afloat while they try to find jobs that no longer exist. These were kids born during the one-child policy. So naturally lower-, middle- and upper-class families must help. Many family budgets are now stretched as never before in recent years. Yet it is the economic woes of the property market - an industry which used to employ huge numbers and was one of the key drivers of China's economic growth as it amounted to approximately 29% of GDP according to the National Bureau of Economic Research - that are now so massive that all the main 30 - 40 developers have defaulted on their local and overseas debts. Worse, though, many millions of individuals who paid for apartments have discovered they are still incomplete because the developers have no cash. In China roughly 90% of properties are bought during construction. Throw in all the losses from this for all manner of contractors and the ending of the vast amounts of cash developers pumped into local authorities and you have what is already a near-perfect storm. It is estimated that local governments alone are now sitting on US$12.6 trillion of debt according to the IMF. No one yet knows what the central government will do. But the total amount of accumulated debt threatens the wealth of tens of millions - if not many more - of Chinese who no longer have the sort of cash reserves to travel as in pre-covid years. 2. I have absolutely no idea how the Indian economy compares. But from what I see in Bangkok, there are many more wealthy Indian tourists now than I have ever seen before. Go to Central Chidlom as I do weekly and you alweys see many Indian couples with several large shopping bags between them. Even though the average wage may be a fraction of that in China, it has to be a fact that there is a sector of rich and very rich Indians around the country who have both a desire and now an opportunity to travel. They also have money to spend. My guess is that like the Taiwanese mentioned in the OP, this group is certainly not going to stay in cheap hotels. They will opt for 4- and 5-star hotels. THAI alone now flies from 7 Indian gateways, with additional flights from 4 of them over the holiday period. These flights all seem to be on wide-body aircraft. And that's only THAI. Naturally in terms of numbers, there is no chance of India overtaking the numbers which used to come regularly to Thailand from China. But in terms of average spend, I am more than reasonably certain the average Indian will spend vastly more than the average Chinese. 3. I absolutely cannot agree that Thailand does not have the infrastructure for high spending tourists. I do wonder where @macaroni21 gets that idea. It's true that outside the main tourist hubs, the hotels may not have similar 5-star offerings. But the number of high quality hotels in the main destinations is certainly very high. And the manager of no 5-star hotel would ever consider employing staff unqualified for such a position. In fact, it is the quality of the staff in Thailand's top hotels that for decades has made them the envy of many in other countries. So the suggestion about too many low-paid unskilled workers simply does not come into the equation! 4. Ah! Pattaya! I wondered if that was what your post was basically about. As has been stated in posts on several forums, Pattaya is not a destination for high spending tourists. Yes, some may go to the Hiton or the Dusit, but for those seeking some time at a beach I am more than certain the travel agencies catering to these high spending tourists will be proposing Hua Hin, Phuket, Krabi or more out of the way destinations like Khao Lak rather than Pattaya. All have 5-star and luxury hotels. There is very little in Pattaya to attract high spending tourists. And mass market is definitely not what the Thailand government is concentrating on. 5. I believe @macaroni21 is being extremely unfair on Taiwanese tourists. In a Paper issued in September last year, HSBC estimated that as a proportion of the population the number of millionaires in Taiwan would be the fourth highest in Australasia, reaching over 10% by 2030. Nearly 25 years ago I was engaged by the Hong Kong Tourist Association to work on an event project specifically targetted at the Taiwan market. Even in those days when the average wage in Taiwan was a great deal less than today, there were still many high spenders. For just one event promoted in Taipei by three travel agencies, roughly 10,000 visitors arrived from Taiwan over a week and spent more than the average tourist spend (which in Hong Kong was already quite high), with many staying in the 3-selected 5-star hotels - the Mandarin, Peninsula and Island Shangri-La. 6. Just to repeat, high-end spenders have absolutely nothing to do with mass markets. They are a niche group which in many developing countries is getting considerably larger. @macaroni21 suggests concentrating on richer Asian markets, markets like Japan and Korea. The problem there is that in both countries you have a population where the work ethic is so strong the vast majority only receive what to us would be very short holiday periods. If you want a large regular flow of tourists from either country, it's not going to happen until the Japanese, as an example, start to give employees more than the short May Golden Week, August Obon Week and a week or so around New Year off. There will still be more regular rich Japanese toursts. but just because the Japanese are wealthier certainly does not mean they are going to do much for the Thailand tourism economy.

Day 9 The only day I had set aside for typical tourist activities was this penultimate day in Bangkok, just before my early flight the next morning. I initially planned a guided tour of the Grand Palace and the Reclining Buddha, but after an underwhelming experience on my first day, I chose instead to briskly explore these cultural sites on my own. My main focus remained on sex. Before leaving my hotel, I had a quick rendezvous with my third Grindr match. He was a young local, bursting into my room with a coffee in hand and not quite matching his profile pictures. His energetic personality made for some fun, but since he wasn't quite what I had expected physically, the encounter didn't live up to either of our expectations. He attempted to set me up with a colleague of his, showing me a photo of an attractive young man on his phone, but later joked that his friend was 'afraid of my size'. It was an outside chance worth the attempt and emblematic of how Grindr is not a perfect replacement to reality. Dressed in black slacks and a polo shirt — the most attire I'd worn throughout my trip — I embarked on a journey to explore the city's cultural landmarks. The Grand Palace was a dazzling spectacle, a fusion of shimmering gold, throngs of tourists, endless selfies, and majestic Buddha statues. The heat and the vibrant chaos only added to the experience. Later, I ventured to the Chatuchak Weekend Market, where my prudent budgeting came in handy. I indulged in a spree of retail therapy, spending my last bits of cash on an assortment of bags and gifts, a delightful and unexpected highlight of the trip. After a flurry of sightseeing, I decided to revisit Prime Massage for a final, luxurious two-hour session. Back home, I usually opt for the 90-minute massages, but during my time in Bangkok, I had typically chosen shorter 60-minute sessions. This caution stemmed from uncertainty about the quality of the experience, as evidenced by a less satisfactory massage at Ssense or the dumpster fire at Sabaidee. However, by this point in my trip, I had grown confident in the exceptional service at Prime. Indeed, the experience surpassed my expectations, providing a thorough stretch and series of adjustments beyond what I had ever experienced. Finally back at my hotel as evening set in, I prepared for one last grand night out. With my flight scheduled for 8AM the next morning, I decided to forego sleep and make the most of the remaining hours. I reached out to Lenny to see if he could join me, and to my delight, he was available. We agreed to meet at Balcony Bar around 9PM. At that time, I was still engrossed in the Patpong Night Market, now captivated by the allure of Bangkok's street market retail scene. Lenny caught a glimpse of my excitement through a video call, with the bustling market and its cacophony of vendors as my backdrop. He playfully asked me to buy him some underwear, just as I noticed a group of boys horsing around behind him in what looked like a hostel dormitory. Eager to leave a lasting impression, I consented and ended up purchasing several pairs of underwear for him. As 9PM neared, I joined Lenny at Balcony Bar, where we settled in to watch the scene of Silom 4 Alley,'Gay Street.' The evening unfolded in a way that mirrored my first day in Bangkok, but this time with a new depth. It was the first real opportunity I had to converse with Lenny, and we instantly connected. Our previous interactions had been brief and scattered, often interrupted by his circle of friends or the presence of earlier suitors. Now, alone together, I could fully appreciate his charm, wit, and striking looks. Lenny expressed a fondness for Balcony Bar, considering it more welcoming than Circus Bar across the street. This sentiment seemed accurate, especially when an Australian man in his sixties, looking remarkably youthful thanks to 'scientific miracles,' joined us. Eventually, Lenny would get a “comp” drink from a friend who I had seen in the background during my video call with Lenny. This friend, a diminutive yet impressively fit Cambodian man, boasted about his adventures from the previous night, “I had five men”, and seemed eager for more. After a brief and dramatic appearance, he disappeared into the crowd, likely off to bag more men for his collection. As the evening wore on, my conversation with Lenny evolved into something more flirtatious. He playfully lifted his shirt, revealing his toned abs, and his surprise was evident when he felt my reaction grabbing at my crotch and feeling something hard. His curiosity piqued, he ventured further, encouraged by my response, to kiss me passionately. The night's energy grew with each passing moment. Sexual tension pulsating, I decided to make our way to DJ Station. As I headed towards the street, I noticed a large cockroach casually making its way through the front entrance, seemingly unnoticed or disregarded by the bustling, capacity crowd inside and out the bar. This, I've come to realize, is classic Bangkok. At DJ Station, we agreed to share a jug of liquor rather than unleash that amount of alcohol solely on my liver and we danced, grinded and made out for a few magical hours. Lenny thankfully shedding his baggy t-shirt to expose he was wearing a pair of underwear I had bought him by sagging his pants. Unfortunately, not the thong I had snuck in with a few more conservative boxer briefs. Eventually, we made our way to the restroom where a jacked Adonis, 6 feet, shirtless and with rippling muscles, had his hard dick out which a farang was greedily stroking. Lenny went inside the toilet while I remained near the entrance to witness this curious scene and eventually Adonis, confident and tipsy turned to a group of Asians to show off his specimen. As Lenny was exiting the restroom the two exchanged words, with this Adonis grabbing Lenny by the shoulders and the two seemingly having a pleasant moment. When I questioned Lenny about the flirty incident, his demeanor shifted, becoming emotional. We moved to a quieter area to sit, and he started to cry. This took me by surprise. He explained that the man had quoted him a fee for a night of company, revealing that the hard and stumbling Adonis was a 'Money Boy.' Lenny, however, insisted that his own intentions were different; he was striving to secure an apartment in Bangkok to find a job, particularly at Balcony Bar, hoping to make his family proud. Amidst this intense conversation and tears, which had sprung from what seemed like a minor interaction, Lenny disclosed a critical detail: he was just 2000 baht short of affording his apartment to allow his dream of getting an apartment nearby to become a reality. Okay. Perhaps some of you had already suspected who Lenny really was, and hints like his request for 'underwear' might have given it away. However, it was his dramatic reaction to encountering a vocal and domineering Money Boy, and then his story about a financial 'shortfall,' that made it unmistakably clear: Lenny himself was a Money Boy! Was this his negotiation to set the rate for the evening? It hadn't really dawned on me until that moment that I was part of a traditional ST/LT transaction. Nevertheless, as you have imagined from my various escapades, the fact that Lenny was a hooker was not a deal breaker, or even upsetting, possibly it was the opposite. While I didn’t really engage with him on “rates” I empathized with his struggle and consoled him - it was not long before we eventually returned to the dancefloor to continue the night like nothing had happened. We didn’t make it to G Bangkok - as 2AM arrived, now feeling emboldened that I was on the clock, we made our way to the Furama for an incredible evening and early morning of sex. I didn’t get a moment of sleep. At 5AM , I emptied my pockets of 7000 baht, which I had saved for a blowout evening, which I anticipated would be enough for a Tawan/Jupiter/GOD blitz but now went to Lenny. He assisted with packing, helped to valet my now doubled in sized luggage from the Chatuchak Market purchases, and stayed by my side as I waited for my taxi. He expressed his love and affection throughout. When the taxi arrived, we shared a last embrace and kiss under the sunrise, its poetic hues painting the sky and signaling the end of an epic journey. As I departed for the airport, I was a wreck of emotions: heartbroken, exhausted, exhilarated, and shaken. The Ultimate Tier List One certainty about Bangkok is its diverse and dense landscape of sex catering to various tastes within the Asian persuasion, and a few sprinkles of hookers and sluts from across the globe. As someone who is versatile-side, relatively fit, and enjoys reciprocal muscle worship, I've clearly ranked my experiences, which will guide any future visits to Bangkok but may not suit everyone. Unfortunately, given the challenges and expense of trans-Pacific travel, I wasn't sure upon arrival if this would be my first or only trip to the city. However, I now suspect it will likely be the first of more to come. S Tier Arena Massage - most reliable erotic massage. Jupiter 2018 - hottest fucking Asians I’ve ever seen.

Hi guys, I'm going to visit Luxor this winter and found a lot of useful information in this post. Thank you very much @Santiagodc for the details. I was in Hurghada last year and would like to share my experience. I had sex with Egyptians several times, always for money, mostly with sellers in shops (usually located in alleys). As usual, everything starts with the questions about where I’m from, who I came with, whether I have a wife, and then they openly offer sex. If you like big dicks, pay attention to the Berber sellers, they have really impressive sizes. The appetites of Hurghada sellers are very large; they ask from 30 to 50 dollars. You need to actively bargain. As one of the guys told me, Germans pay big tips on literally everything, so no one will do anything for $10. I don’t know how true this is, but in my hotel the Germans actually gave waiters 5-15 euros at dinner simply for bringing drinks (and this is All inclusive). There was also sex with a taxi driver and a hotel cleaner. The taxi driver stopped next to me and said that he liked me and would take me for a ride. I got into his car. On the way he took out his dick and asked me to jerk it off. It was very hot! Then we stopped in a secluded place with sands and he fucked me there. The hotel worker cleaned my room every day for two weeks, we communicated very pleasantly without any hints of sex, he even helped me with some things. And on the last day of my tour I told him that I will leave after lunch. He extended his hand and then hugged me in a friendly way. And suddenly he began to touch my ass, gently kneading it. I immediately became horny and let him do what he wanted. He took off my shorts, put me on the bed and lay on top of me, inserting his dick into my ass. He fucked me for a long time very carefully and gently, like a beloved woman. I moaned so loudly that he covered my mouth with his hand. It was amazing sex, completely different from other Egyptian experiences. There was also one unpleasant incident. I walked around Sheraton, sat on a bench with coffee and looked at my phone. A handsome guy, about 25 years old, sat up to me and said that he is a tourist from Cairo. We talked about Hurghada, excursions and then said goodbye. After a couple of hours I returned to my hotel and was walking near it, suddenly this guy met again. He said that there was an abandoned beach nearby and we could go and spend time there. I bought some beer for us and we went to the beach. We looked at the sea, yachts, talked about various topics, and from time to time he suddenly grabbed me by the face and kissed me on the lips with passion. I quickly got excited and wanted more. He said he wants to have sex with me all night and offered to rent an apartment in the nearest compound. Also he said that as an Egyptian it would be easier for him to negotiate without any documents and asked me to wait until he did everything and came for me. I gave him money for rent, about 40 dollars, and he went inside. As you might have guessed, I never saw him again :)

Hello, I am planning to be in Bangkok in June because I plan to treat myself to a trip for my 40th birthday, I will also be in Bangkok on New Year's Eve and I will go to the Songran Festival in April. I usually prefer to stay at Le Meridien Hotel or Raya Hotel on Surawong Road. If you are available, I would like to meet you.

Did you get a new passport stamp when visiting Langkawi?

More than one statement (and more since). It takes 2 people, or more, to argue.

Was in and out of Suvarnabhumi twice in the past month. I can similarly report: Fully packed area in front of arrival immigration desks; a bit of chaos around the luggage belts as two flights had to share the same belt. 300-long queues at Thai Airways check-in on departure; fully packed room in front of security scanners in departure; fully packed room in front of exit Immigration desks in departure.

very diverse one

Bowling, movies, fishing, swimming, anything I wanted fresh eye candy for.

No, not at all, Marc. We frequently do that before we leave our hotel. You know, Marc, you may be right. So why don't you tell us about your last trip to Thailand and how an educated man like yourself spends his time. You have been to Thailand, haven't you?

There's sometimes the "I Expat better than you" posts, now I guess we have to add "I tourist better than you" (but am/was secretly a whore but shhh) 🙄

I met Manuel in my last visit to Medellín and I recommend him with no hesitations. His talents in the sack were out of the charts, and he was engaged up to driving me exhausted. His fee is aligned with market standards, and besides a talented lover, he is not a clock watcher and is really good at the boyfriend experience. Premium sex AND company here. This is his ad: https://co.mileroticos.com/escorts-gay/versatil-arrecho-complaciente-cuelo-intenso/24258607/ This is the report in my blog: https://ilikepinga.com/2023/12/16/manuel/

Rudy has become a joke. Trump used him and let him disgrace himself to ALL of the world. Another Trump casualty now in the dustbin. Bingo looks forward to lifting his leg and peeing on Rudy's grave.

I don't drink wine.

Same discussions as in the forum!

Now you just add insult to injury. I AM NOT "on the prowl for young men" whereever I travel. NEVER! For years I have rarely visited a gay bar anywhere outside Thailand. on my own. I visit when friends take me. Yes, I have been to saunas occasionally. For your information gay saunas are where virtually all customers go to find other guys. For your further information, men and guys in Taiwan would never even dream of going up to others in the Red House bars and cafes (the gay equivalent of Soi 4) with any similar proposition. NEVER! When I meet guys on the apps overseas, they initiate the conversations. I can think of perhaps three occasions at most in the last five years when I have been the one to start it up. So never assume that other posters do overseas what you and others might do here in Bangkok. I would certainly never ASSUME that anyone is in a gay bar like Balcony simply for the purpose of solicitating others into paid sex. In any case, as you know perfectly well, paid sex has not been my thing for many years. I certainy would never dream of approaching any guy in a bar like Balcony. In case you are not aware, it is not a host club! It is a public bar in a public street both of which happen to cater primarily to customers who are gay. That one farang customer should have the gall to ruin the evening of two bright, intelligent young Thai guys is shocking! As @khaolakguy so rightly points out, this is no doubt one of the reasons many Thais no longer visit farang gay places like Soi 4. That is absolutely nothing like what happened to my partner and his friend. You simply have used an example of what actually happened to your twisted narrative. Is it not true that that guy basically took the initiative and proposed to you and you took him up and back to your hotel? Did my partner and his friend do something similar? Nothing like it! They were doing nothing but having a drink. They did not approach anyone. If you are going to quote comparisons, quote like with like - not like with unlike!

Day 8 Since my first non-paid Grindr hookup went so well, albeit fleeting, I continued to try my hand at more of the faces and torsos clogging my inbox. Even at the Furama Fitness Center, which appeared untouched for years, I noticed men roaming the hallways. Some of them reached out to me on Grindr, rather than you know, talk to me, but I was eagerly trying to get in one last workout before the end of my trip. Eventually, one local guy caught my attention. He had an average build, spoke excellent English, and possessed a charming personality, all of which intrigued me enough to invite him over. He was quite amiable, and we surprisingly ended up spending most of the day together. Our time was split between lounging in the hotel room naked and doing Side things and exploring various parts of the city. This turn of events was unexpected, but I was pleased to have the opportunity to visit some genuine tourist sites. These experiences provided me with stories to share with friends and family, who might be less interested in the more hedonistic aspects of my journey. Lenny, the Cambodian guy I met at the pool party on Day 2, sent me a message. He had returned to town after a brief trip back to his home country over the weekend. It appears that cross-border travel is common among Cambodians, possibly for visa reasons or trade. Despite not knowing his exact reasons, I felt a surge of excitement at his return. I contemplated the possibility of hooking up and mustered up the courage to suggest hanging out. Eagerly, I let him know that it would be great to spend some time together. Around 6PM, my Side buddy departed and I would finally make my way to R3 Sauna. Initially when I planned this trip I intended to visit most of the talked about saunas like R3, Krubb, Heaven and Chakran, going so far as to map out as best I could using Line and Twitter what the different naked, orgy or porn star days were to maximize impact. However, as my trip came to a close I just did not have the time nor the stamina to barnstorm that many brothels as I had imagined from my short stint in Sauna Mania that these spas were less likely a relaxing oasis with some hanky panky but full-fledged sex clubs with an ancillary steam room as decor. The ride to R3 was long and exhausting, dealing with the traffic and chaotic driving that the inner streets of Bangkok enjoy. However, once there, I was treated to an attractive lobby for a sex club and familiarly gruff attendant. I forgot how much the entry fee was, perhaps 500 baht. It was naked day, as I had figured, and I was greeted by two muscular hosts at the entrance to the locker room. They explained it was naked day, yet they vexingly wore underwear, but I was happy to oblige, confident that this time I would no longer be the odd man out like at Sauna Mania with such a scandalous outfit. I’d be wrong, but for different reasons. The near pitch-black conditions throughout most of the club caught me off guard, possibly because it was 'Naked Day' or maybe this was a regular feature. I carefully made my way to the main area of the club after a few mistarts getting lost in service areas and random dark spaces. Initially, the attendance was sparse, with just a few locals and foreigners casually moving around. No one was apparently hooking up, just furious cruising. The club was a unique, vertical space, stretching tall and narrow, with several floors interconnected by a labyrinth of stairwells and doors. Navigating through its dimly lit and winding corridors, I got lost in the maze-like layout more than once. At one point, the surprise of an unexpected grope from a stranger made me jump, a testament to my disorientation in the darkened environment. The club comprised four primary levels: two floors were dedicated to maze-like darkrooms. The third floor housed the sauna amenities, though the steam room felt desolate, and the dry sauna was notably cramped. In contrast, the fourth level offered a more open space, brightened occasionally by shafts of sunlight piercing through. Ultimately, I settled on the top floor. It wasn't long before a unique individual approached me – a Thai local in his twenties, distinctively covered in thick black hair, a stark contrast to the smoother appearances I'd encountered thus far. Our interaction was fun as he was a adept bottom, and it led to a memorable time in a private room. He skillfully navigated us through the club's shadowy stairwells and corridors, his familiarity with the place almost as if he knew it by scent, briefly losing me in his swift movements. By 8PM, an announcement revealed the start of the porn party, an event I hadn't anticipated. Intrigued, I eagerly headed towards a newly accessible area resembling a dungeon. The two muscular hosts who had initially greeted me at the locker room were now overseeing a table that marked the entrance to this new sauna section. This area could be accessed via a different, almost pitch-black stairwell on the third floor. They handed me a random ration of condoms and lube and took the small washcloth I was carrying to dry myself from a shower. Absolutely no fabric was to enter this level. When I reached the bottom of the stairwell I was in full Mr. Magoo mode, reaching my hands out for fear of slamming into a wall and dipping my toes into the unseen floor to ensure there was no cliff and impending demise. It was extremely dark. But in time, I was able to navigate myself to the rooms where now nearly 50 people were already involved in an orgy-like scene with porn stars wearing glowsticks on their wrists and a promoter flashing a light beam every so often; the rare moments I could visually soak in the young smooth bodies that were pressed up against one another. Lines queued nearby these pornstars on fuck tables for eager participants to take turns running a train on the local celebrity - or to be railed depending on the professional slut. There were six in total spread out across this floor. Everyone there seemed very young and very in shape. I had a few reciprocal gropes and fondling, but for the most part, the crowd was fixated on the stars. From my research, I understood that saunas located away from Silom Road often cater more to local preferences, a theory that seemed to hold true given my different experiences here compared to Sauna Mania. Despite the contrasting receptions, I found the environment still worthwhile. As a Side, navigating through the close quarters of this sauna, allowing myself to molest the tight, rubbery muscles in this claustrophobic environment, was fun. By 10 PM, I returned to my hotel without hearing from Lenny, so I decided to visit Moonlight. I couldn't recall the specific reason for choosing this destination and didn't have high expectations. Ultimately, the experience there turned out to be mostly unremarkable. I arrived during the show in progress and was ushered to a seat with a large pole right in the middle of my sight line and the stage. This position caused me to lean awkwardly to enjoy the magnificently attractive and talented dancer strut and spin along to their dance numbers. However, unlike Jupiter 2018, these impressive Adonises did not wear numbers. The entire show was to extract tips of 1000 baht from the audience as their reward. A ladyboy host was quick to take a seat next to me, encouraging me to tip as it was “only $30.” Absolutely not. The show concluded with a lineup of boys, each with a number. They were noticeably more attractive than those I recalled from Dreamboy, yet they stood motionless, almost like statues. Reeling from sexual tension from R3, I impulsively decided to off a model, alerting the ladyboy, who continued whispering in my ear about the different boys eschewing the customary drink. I chose a shirtless young man who boasted a well-defined eight-pack and a captivating smile. He introduced himself, now without the benefit of the stage and dramatic lighting, revealing a noticeably smaller frame. Honestly, I remember little about him, apart from the host mentioning that he was gay and 'up for anything.' After a short tuk-tuk ride back to the Furama, he revealed that his headdress was not just a fashion statement but also a cover for a recent hair transplant, and hence, showering was not an option for him. The evening progressed to muscle worship, blow jobs and handjobs, but it turned out to be entirely forgettable. There was a lack of the chemistry I had hoped for. This experience underscored the potential downside of skipping the initial 'getting-to-know-you' drink. His nervous demeanor was palpable, possibly due to discomfort from his recent hair procedure, which he briefly showed me, and ouch. I believe the entire hit to my pocket was again about 3000 baht. Off to bed for the last slumber in Thailand.

I think I know who this ex Olimpo GP is, a "whiteish", tall, buffed guys (but not very muscularly defined). I had a programa with him at Olimpo 5 years ago, he was very fake, didn't do much. I saw him yesterday at Lagoa. he chased my up and down the floors, very annoying, must be quite desperate. Back in Olimpo's good old days, there were two other muscular Olipmo GPs and I had them all and still keep in touch with time. These two are more down to earth and delivered exceptional sex.

The first episode was so cute! This two just have a different chemistry that is not found among the other gmm couples.

They’re back! Episode 1 of the Cherry Magic with TayNew available on YouTube:

@jamieb202 This information was up to date as of January 2023. I am not aware of any changes, won't be back in Medellín until the new year. I can update then.

For me this year so far the best Thai series was Only Friends. Maybe not storywise, but high cuteness factor and more steamy than the average series. Can't wait for Cherry Magic though, Tay-New is almost a guarantee for sucess. As is Off-Gun in Cooking Crush, just saw the first 2 episodes and I like it.

No search for TK but if you contact them, they can help you out. Lots of tops at all three of those shops. They always use condoms. They're very strict and conscientious about safety and hygiene. For instance, you have to take a shower before doing anything with germicidal soap and use mouthwash. But you take the shower with the boy so it's at least fun. Condoms and lube are in the room. And if you do an outcall they bring the stuff. Japanese lube is weird though... it's super thick and almost like taffy. haha.

One good place I found for massage was Karada Men's Spa. It's near Shinjuku, at Shin-Okubo station (on the Yamanote). I went about 5 years ago. My first time, I called from the station and someone came and met me. Hot, muscle guys who all seem to be Korean. Lots of Korean restaurants in this neighborhood, so maybe it's meant more for Koreans looking for a taste of home? My first massage was with a guy I had met at the 24 Kaikan sauna a few days before. He was really hot and let me fuck him (even though I'm more of a bottom, a really hot ass can convert me So he gave me a good massage and then we fooled around. I don't think we fucked, but he got me off somehow. The next time I went, I chose a really muscular guy, but he didn't want me to remove his underwear. He did give me a happy ending but it wasn't as good as the first. The massage is top level, totally professional. If anyone has ever been to the Ambassador in Bangkok, it reminded me of that - a real spa but with extras. I think they had a website and you could see the guys, but I can't find a link. Here's a link to info on Utopia. https://www.utopia-asia.com/tokymasa.htm

You should definitely go to 24 Kalkan in Shinjuku. Like almost everywhere in Asia, there are some younger guys who enjoy being with and having sex with older guys, especially if they are foreigners and like you in good shape. Tokyo is no exception. There is at least one University quite close by and so some of the students pop in after their studies. It will take a bit of time to wander around and get noticed, but that's part of the fun. Getting there is easy wherever you are staying in the city. The ideal subway stop is Shinjuku-Sanchome on the red Marunouchi Line. Turn left at the exit and continue through the underground passage to the BYGS building exit (I believe that is Exit C8). That puts you right in the gay bar district and 24 Kaikan is only a short 2 block walk from there. I once went on a Saturday afternoon and met a very nice 30ish Japanese guy who came on to me. It later turned out that he was married with two kids, but Saturday was his day away from the family and all he liked to do was visit 24 Kaikan and loved being a bottom! One point to note is that it shuts the bathing area for about 30 minutes for cleaning. I think this is around 6:00 pm but somehow it's best to check, for that area also includes the warm pools, cold pool, shower stalls, sauna, rainshower room and a steamroom that usually has some activity going on. You definitely want to be there when it is open. The 24 in Ueno is also worth a look, although it is further away from Ueno station. As @StickyRice35 points out in his post, it generally has a slightly older clientele and is a smaller facility. There is also - or was - the original 24 in Asakusa (not to be confused with Akasaka) which is best reached by the Ginza Line. I do not know if it still exists. It was a much older facility and generally had a much, much older clientele, although I sometimes met young students there. It is located behind the famous Sensoji-Temple.

Premiers on December 9. Here’s the official trailer:
