  1. While trawling Tumblr I tripped over this: https://gaykohsamuithailand.tumblr.com/ Mostly it seems to be advertising "Emerald Green Mens Club" but there's some eye candy (not all Thai) too. Not sure where the Parthenon fits in, though. For an overview see https://gaykohsamuithailand.tumblr.com/archive Disclaimer: I have had no dealings with the listed businesses, so this is neither a recommendation nor the opposite.

    Everyone has the right to do with his money whatever he wants, if some customers readily give out tips just because a boy looks handsome what's wrong with that ?

    Actually he is working for the money. He has been born with the gift of appearance that many find very attractive. They tip him because he brings them pleasure and ambiance. However, what I believe many customers tip staff (bartenders, waiters) because they've built a relationship over time. Same thing happens in non-sex venues where they feel comfortable and accepted.

    I did find the hottest 18 year old on gay Romeo. He was so afraid of meeting me. So we just slept together the first time. He had real sexy photos and was the real deal. Unfortunately he’s a lady boy now. And a real cutie was under the new section on gay Romeo a few weeks ago. Lo and behold he walked into the bar I hang out at and I recognized him right away. Now he’s off the apps and just stays with me.

    Brasilia

    I organized a 2 day trip in Brasilia to see the city and its monuments. Worth a visit, but only one IMHO. After seeing buildings erected, I tried to see other erctions and went to one of the 2 saunas with boys in Brasilia. Arrived there around 5.30 pm. As I was obviously new, one guy showed me ghe facility : changing room, shower, bar, smoking room, darkroom, video room. He also explained me that guys wearing a blue towel are rent boys. All others with white towel are customers. The place is rather clean. Cabins though are filthy since there is only a plastic cover. One must use his towel as a sheet. Cabins are free. I stayed until 8.30 pm but only saw 5 boys. Very average type. Most customers obviously come to meet other customers, not to meet rentboys. Some action in the darkroom. I was too tired and without sufficient motivation yo wait until live sex show which is held later on saturdays. Nothing to compare with 117 in Rio or Lagoa in SP.

  9. Is why he lost in New York...New Yorkers can see right through this phony conman. It's easier to fool someone than convince them they've been fooled...........you fit into this set. Just make sure it isn't an Eagle, he talks tough but has never, once in his life been in a physical fight, born with a silver spoon in his mouth people think he can relate to them, give me a break. Could you picture him riding a bike (I know joe fell, I've fallen too) or jogging, lmfao Funny thing about not being in a cult, if "our guy" does something wrong, we call him out on it.... you guys double down on stupidity to not hurt his feelings, yeah, hurt the tough guys feelings..... Trump's grammar and reading skills are abhorrent, Joe had dyslexia to blame......walking down ramps or drinking water are challenges for Trump, yet you idolize him..... Do you post in any other forums here....???

  11. The investigation into this incident reflects why it takes time and effort to uncover all the reverent facts. From CNN NTSB says, as new details emerge about the aircraft Federal officials examining the horrifying midflight blowout of an Alaska Airlines plane section have announced the discovery of the lost piece that had fallen from the aircraft – a key element in the investigation into what happened during the plane’s “explosive decompression.” A Portland schoolteacher named Bob found the refrigerator-size Boeing 737 MAX 9 fuselage door plug in his yard and reached out to the National Transportation Safety Board, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said at a news conference Sunday night. The plug door had been missing since it blew off an Alaska Airlines aircraft Friday, leaving a gaping hole on the side of the plane as it flew at 16,000 feet shortly after taking off from Portland. The harrowing ordeal – which saw headrests ripped off and items sucked from the cabin – has led to the nationwide grounding of certain Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft and a slew of flight cancellations. “It must have been a terrifying event to experience,” Homendy said Sunday after seeing the chaotic aftermath of the plane’s interior, which included damage in several rows. Complicating efforts is the loss of critical cockpit audio recordings because of a device setting, according to Homendy. Plane was restricted from flying over water amid auto pressurization fail lights Alaska Airlines had restricted the plane from flying from over the ocean to Hawaii to ensure the plane could “return very quickly to an airport” in case any warning lights in the aircraft went off, according to Homendy. The decision came as the plane’s auto pressurization fail light had illuminated three times in the past month, Homendy said, noting it is unclear if there is any correlation between the warning lights and the Friday incident. The fail light came on December 7 and on January 3 and 4 –- the days leading up to the blowout, she said. Each time, the flight crew flipped a switch to the system’s backup, Homendy said, describing the move as “very normal.” “They flipped it, they reported it, it was tested by maintenance and then reset.” “They did order additional maintenance to look at the light that was not complete before (the fuselage blowout). We plan to look at that more and we’ve requested documentation on all defects since delivery of the aircraft on October 31,” she said. CNN has sought comment from Alaska Airlines on the plane’s flight restriction and warning lights. The Boeing 737 Max 9 involved in Friday’s incident had been in service for about three months and has flown about 150 times since October 2023, according to FlightAware and FAA records. Interviews with flight crew members and the examinations of the damage left behind inside the cabin shed light on the loud, “violent” and chaotic scene inside the aircraft when the plug door tore off, causing an incredibly forceful depressurization and sending flight attendants rushing to the side of children on the flight, the NTSB chief said. After the “explosive event,” flight attendants scrambled to ensure four unaccompanied minors onboard were wearing oxygen masks and lap belts, Homendy said, praising the attendants as “heroic.” But “communication was a serious issue” between the pilots and flight attendants, who said they were having difficulty quickly sharing information, she added. Cockpit recorder setting wipes crucial evidence The cockpit voice recorder, which captures sounds such as engine noises and pilots’ voices, was “completely overwritten,” since devices are currently only required to retain two hours of audio at a time, Homendy said. “There is nothing on the cockpit voice recorder,” she said, noting the maintenance team went out to get the recorder around the two-hour mark when the devices begin a new recording cycle. The audio captured by the recorders is “critical” to helping investigators understand what occurred during the incident, Homendy said. Without it, there is no record of communications between pilots and flight attendants as the crisis was unfolding. “If that communication is not recorded, that is, unfortunately, a loss for (the NTSB), and a loss for the FAA and a loss for safety because that information is key not just for our investigation, but for improving aviation safety,” Homendy said.

  12. Guess I am guilty of giving tips to dancing boys just because I like them! The boys are on stage for hours at a time and may not get an "off" so what is the problem in giving them a tip? I doubt that they have a work ethic that says "no tip accepted". Although I do touch the merchandise as I slip them the tip. 😜

    I wouldn't mind tipping a handsome boy just for being handsome especially if he has a cute smile and dimples 😍 But nuisance mamasans are the worst. Had a bad experience with one who kept pestering me with a boy who totally isn't my type, I politely declined them but it got so bad I left the show early. They then had the temerity to demand a tip for both of them...I refused and never been back there since.

  18. From Forbes Thailand's cannabis landscape may change soon as the Southeast Asian country is to ban recreational use of cannabis. The new Thai government has introduced a bill to amend the current cannabis legislation in order to ban the recreational use of cannabis after decriminalization has led the country to flourish cannabis stores around the country. Health Minister Cholnan Srikaew signed last weekend a bill to amend the current cannabis legislation, emphasizing that it can't be used recreationally, as reported by local news media outlets. Thailand became the first Southeast Asian country to decriminalize recreational cannabis in 2022 after regulating its medical use in 2018. However, the absence of regulations led to a proliferation of cannabis shops selling products without oversight. This prompted the newly elected government in 2023 to review the country's cannabis policy and establish clear legislation. Under the proposed legislation, cannabis will be strictly for medical use, explicitly prohibiting its recreational use. Additionally, the legislation specifies that authorized stores can only sell parts of the cannabis plant that are legally allowed, likely excluding the plant's flowers due to their THC content. The proposed legislation has not yet clarified whether a medical certificate will be necessary to purchase medical cannabis. Although legally registered cannabis stores are unlikely to lose their licenses, they will only be allowed to sell parts of the cannabis plant that are legal in Thailand. n that regard, the proposed legislation aims to assist law enforcement. By making products containing more than 0.2% THC illegal, it aims to facilitate the prosecution of individuals who use cannabis recreationally.

  19. 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.”

  27. The video nailed it. I said in a different thread I find Trump to be extremely sexually enticing. This is why. I came twice watching that video. I can't help myself. Who can? If I were to make the smallest of critiques, I don't believe the video gives Melania the credit she deserves. Even the strongest of leaders needs a partner (meaning a woman, not a queer and definitely not Mike Pence) by his side. On April 26, 1970 God made Melania. She completes Trump. She makes him his best. Thank you God!

    Davet, one other tip about that Cal scene: The top-tier guys are *not* regulars. Don't assume hottest guys you see on Thursday or Sunday will be back anytime soon. Discovered that one of my fav GPs buses in from hinterlamds only once every couple of weeks. Other stars were once a week, but they may return sooner if you promise a scheduled rendezvous.

    Is this rate normal?

    Quick note -- $150 USD is very high, but there are many scorts on Rentmen in Colombia advertising that rate. FWIW. Colombia is no exception to the problem of high inflation. Am seeing the cost of all basic needs (food, shelter, clothing) have risen in the few months since I was last here. So am not surprised that many of the "pros" are now asking 150-200K for a session. Yes there is wide variation of prices for scort services here, but I am in the "you get what you pay for camp". Will add that you need to always agree to a final price -- that should be the starting point of any engagement here to avoid problems.

  32. Further to my Bangkok post, a few comments on Siem Reap. The Bangkok Airways flight at the new white elephant airport early. Looks Impressive, I counted around 12 airbridges all empty. There were two aircraft there, ours and another small plane, who can't use the air bridges. You walk up the steps, with hald luggage to reach arrivals. You then walk a mile or so, I exaggerate, to immigration. This is a huge hall with over 30 desks. Once you work out where to go, I had an evisa, it was fairly quick. I had no luggage, so walked through. Interestingly, when you exit customs, that's it, you are outside in the so. There are hotel reps, including mine, and a stall selling local SIM cards, but that's it! I got in my car, Viroth's hotel used to send their antique Mercedes, or Rolls, but they said the roads were so bad to the new airport, you now get an SUV. Perfectly ok, apart from the $45! Bra d new single carriageway road with posh lights every 40 metres, for about 20 miles. Then, crunch on the old highway, slow, bumpy etc. took an hour. Hotel nice as usual, spent the first hour fending off guys from Grindr, offering paid sex, 5 in all. I selected one who was persistent, and he looked like his pics, did everything he said, and was great! Fully versatile etc. ended up giving him $50, which in European terms is so cheap! That included a tip! Then dinner at the Khmer Grill, a drink in Pub Street, and home. Beer now $1.50, but fear not, second free! Lots of attractive guys including the waiters!

  36. That's the part that is so pathetically tragic. Even a 12 year old understands that facts can't just be what you want them to be. And democracy can't only work when you win. What is it about this MAGA minority that breeds contempt for basic facts, and deep and enduring hatred for democracy? Even a 12 year old is better than that. Seriously. Why the contempt? Why the hatred for America? This is NOT funny. It is hatred. It is contempt. That's a good example of the casual disdain for anything that doesn't fit in the universe of lies Trumps constantly spews. It's unfortunate you believe whatever bullshit he feeds you. Because it will just feed more disappointment, hatred, and contempt from the cop beating MAGAttes. Just like in 2018. Just like in 2020. Just like in 2022. People see and feel the contempt and hatred. People are on the side of the cops whose bones were broken by Trump's thugs. You don't see it, because you believe in the cult. Trump is up about two points against Biden in the RCP average. It's not good news for Biden, for sure. But Biden was up two points in January 2023. And Trump was up two points in May 2023. And Biden was up one point in September 2023. And Trump was up one point in October 2023. So enjoy it while it lasts. Because it won't. The only good guess we can make is that the election will be close, just like in 2016 and 2020. What I find most encouraging, and you don't even get, is that people who voted for Biden in 2020 and view him unfavorably right now are completely disgusted by Trump. And they are not likely to vote for Trump in 2024. What we don't know is whether they will hold their nose and vote for Biden to avoid the re-contamination of US democracy with Trump's contempt for facts. And his hatred of The Constitution. My personal guess is they will hold their nose and vote for Biden and Democrats, just like in 2020 and 2022. I'm glad Trump voters don't really want to see reality. Because it will help Democrats win again. What the poll you cited shows is that lots of 2020 Biden supporters are saying we'll vote for RFK or West or Stein instead. So, yes. When you move 2020 Biden supporters to that column, Trump's margin grows. It's bullshit. But, please, believe it. Believe Blacks and Hispanics and young voters are flocking to Trump's lies and contempt for democracy. Believe whatever you want. Spew hate. Spew lies. It will just help Democrats win. Trump is actually doing WORSE among Blacks, Hispanics, and young voters than in 2020, when you bother with actual facts. This Quinnipiac poll is typical of all the ones I have seen that really dig in to facts. When you add RFK and West, Trump gets 9 % of the Black vote, 26 % of the Hispanic vote, and 27 % of voters aged 18-34. In all three cases, that is WORSE than he did in 2020. Not better. So believe the bullshit. But what's happening is that voters who are pissed about the fact that prices won't go back down or Biden is supporting Israel or the SCOTUS thwarted him on student loan forgiveness are camping out with RFK or West for now. Will they vote for Trump? Of course not. Trump disgusts them. Trump's lies disgust them. Trump's hatred for democracy disgusts them. What Trump might be hoping for is these voters just stay home. But as soon as Trump and his cultists like you open their mouths, everybody else gets very scared. That is exactly what happened in 2018. It happened again in 2020. It happened again in 2022. You don't want to see it, or believe. You only believe in facts you like. You only believe in democracy when you win. Everybody outside the 25 % MAGA minority is really sick of the bullshit. Thank you for reminding us of how sick of the bullshit we are. Republicans cast doubt on whether Biden can win legitimately in 2024 This is why Haley would probably beat Biden, if Republicans nominated her. But, instead, the Trump cult will do everything they can do to destroy Haley. The overwhelmingly White MAGA cult loves women of color. But only when they vote for Trump. Otherwise, they are vermin. In destroying Haley, the democracy haters will help destroy any chance Trump has of winning. You just can't see or believe that this is deep toxic horror to the majority of Americans. Just like Jan. 6th was. You are deeply committed to hate, lies, and contempt for democracy. All of this is why Biden will probably win. I still think the key variables are that inflation continues to subside, real wages increase as pay raises surpass inflation, and the economy keeps growing. People won't love Biden. But they won't hate him for a growing economy and all time high home values and stock prices. They will hate Trump, deeply and permanently, for his lies and contempt for democracy. Even a 12 year old understands these things about America and democracy better than you do. It's sad.

Anyway, if it's $130,000 or so, I'd throw myself at Trump, just like Stormy. But I don't have a pussy. So I'd give him a discunt.

  41. Just brief comments on my experience in first 24 hours. I had long flight yesterday, so lazy, got as far as G's for a meal, good as ever, brief stop at Banana Bar, and then accepted Grindr booking at hotel. Incidentally, no problem with Hotel, Le Meredien, indeed most of the guests are male couples! Boy was Vietnamese, reasonable English, great body, kissing, I am a top and bred him. However he was far too rushed, off to shower almost as I came! Tired today, and as an older top, not as athletic as some members here, so just tried go go bars. Hotmale was dull, just boys in red jeans, some shirtless, jeans tight! A few attractive twink types, only one smiling. Really poor show, in my view, too cold, too loud. Maybe a quarter full, all male. Tried Tawan, in homage to Vinapu, at 10.30. told to go away, as they were full, come back at 11.00. I did, to be turned away again, try 11.30! I gave up. Better luck tomorrow, I hope! Incidentally, airport was ok. It was New Year's Day, not so busy, but Fast lane difficult to find. Not really marked. I asked an official, who pointed out I had walked past it. Maybe 8 to 10 minute line.

You take that one to your airbnb or hotel, and there with time and comfort, you will have a better experience.

  45. This is second part of my trip to SE Asia. First part was very short visit to Thailand reported already here : https://www.gayguides.com/forums/topic/38515-shortest-trip-ever-but-still-blood-pressure-rising-report/ First thing I did in the airport was to collect my luggage which arrived only day later and I instructed them to keep it there as I will be able to collect it on departure. Process went very smoothly and only when I was reunited with my goods clouds appeared on horizon : my 10.30 am flight to Phnom Penh did not appear anywhere on the screen. Upon visiting ThaiViet Jet counter I learned that it’s postponed till 17.30 so after brief consultation with myself I decided to toss that ticket and but new one for next available flight which was with Bangkok Airways at twice the price. Within hour I was on the plane though and landed in PP shortly after 1 so that splurge gave me an additional half day of time there. I had electronic visa so all went smoothly, exchanged 20 $ for 80 000 riels to have some change , collected my luggage , purchased SIM card for 8$ for 16 days and went to the taxi counter to splurge 9$ on tuk-tuk to the hotel. There are cheaper options like bus or catching tuk-tuk- outside of airport but I decided NOT to play Scrooge as amounts involved are very minor (to keep things in perspective where I live taxi from airport is 32 $ and I live walking distance from the airport). I was in PP three days staying in Saravoan Royal Palace hotel in close vicinity of National Museum. Street 178, right beside Blu Chili bar which I did not visit by the way. Talk about wasted opportunities. Can recommend that hotel and will return as they say. I like to stay close to main attractions of place I’m visiting. They close gates at night but there was night guard so poor guy was waked up by me at 2 am every night, tipped him 2 $ or 10000 riels each time for his troubles. Went around the city by foot or tuk-tuk 1-2 $ each time . As before riels and dollars are fully interchangeable at rate 4000 to 1$ and you can pay in either. Changing money is easy and rates vary very little. Make sure your dollars notes , if any are not torn nor have ant writings on them. They seem to be vary particular about that and I got returned 1 $ bill with 1 mm tear. I reported my arrival to Christian PFC who happened to be there , by coincidence living in hotel on the same street and shortly he visited me to shake hands and then we went for a dinner to restaurant he recommended. In the evening I went alone to search for Space Hair , barber turning into host bar at night They don’t have go-go bars , Space Hair is a host bar. Bar is located on 136 str , famous for girl bars , right beside Sun and Moon hotel. I had problems finding it as for some reason I though is opposite hotel but no, is right beside. Gay flag is proudly displayed. There are several hosts there who are willing to have a drink or few drinks with you but are not offable in Thai sense. Yes you can tactfully arrange to meet at least some of them after hours. There are also three cute dogs who were not inclined to extract any drinks. They open at 8pm and close at 2 am. I spent all 3 evenings there having two permanent drinking companions plus occasional one from time to time . Nothing rough but I had bit of discreet but fruitful survey under the table at their invitation / encouragement. Drinks are from 3.50 / beer / to 6 / red wine / , worth it as one of my boys admitted it makes him horny and not after long I could see and feel the proof, again discretely. Unfortunately that guy was not available to go with customer , God is my witness I tried daily or rather nightly. Still he was a ton of pleasant fun and I think I liked him the most from all guys I met on that trip. Another of my hosts turned more amendable , on my last night with a bit of drama I managed to convince to visit me in my room. Drama because we left separately and only then I got Line message from him asking about my hotel and instructing me to wait for him in front of it. This gives you an idea how discrete whole thing is. I spent 50-70 $ on drinks for boys nightly and don’t regret it at all which is surprising myself as I’m not bar person. They are not nagging you for drinks and when treated with one are not in rush to gulp it and leave but when they finish one they may leave your table unless you treat them with next one. What I liked about that bar is that guys were keeping track of what we had and on one of nights actually noticed that I was charged for some drinks they did not had, impressive and about 8 $ savings. As for massage places three I visited were HECO and two Hatha Khmer locations. HECO is right behind royal palace so walking distance from my hotel , hey had only 2 boys on duty when I was there but that was enough , I was happy with one I picked up. Massage is costly at 20$ but I liked experience , tipped boy also 20 $ When you google for Hatha Khmer you may receive 3 locations. 330 street, 350 and 368. Visited all three but at 368 was nothing at address indicated , asked locals and they told me that shop moved to 330 street which I visited as well. Both 330 and 350 streets are in vicinity of infamous Tuol Sleng Genocide prison museum so easy to get to as every driver knows the place. 330 is short street and Hatha Khmer is located at opposite end from prison , on your left going toward it. There’s sign but it’s bit discreet so watch out , entry is like a bit of garden. Inside behind the glass were several hunks, massage was 15 $ , I tipped guy whole 40 $ which probably was well above going rate but I was happy with experience. Location on 350 street is sauna and massage. That is street bordering prison from south and is much longer , Hatha Khmer is on stretch between prison and main street on your left going from prison . There’s no sign but is quite prominent poster showing handsome hunk, entry looks loke covered parking lot or garage with sauna entry deep inside. I just asked attendant and he pointed me toward staircase. It was mid day and no boy was on duty but they told me they can bring one in 5 minutes and that was exactly what happened. Massage 12 $ , I tipped 30 $ , session was good but bit rushed toward end, it’s why lower tip. In PP massages they expect you to be showered already and in none shower was offered after massage even if they had facilities. They simply wiped all oil clean with the towels . Facilities were clean and boys smelling immaculate so nothing to be apprehensive about . I liked 330 location the best out those 3 even if presence of that infamous prison nearby was for me a bit chilling. I was in Phnom Penh in 2001 and change to the urban landscape was positive and monumental. I was surprised by number of high rises built in meantime , streets were much cleaner , parks spruced up, Central Market and railway station renovated. It appeared also to be much safer than expected , at least twice I left Space Hair at 2 am and walked to my hotel from 136th street to 178th undisturbed at all. I visited National Museum, very pleasant affair few steps from my hotel but sadly Royal Palace with it’s Silver Pagoda was still closed for a Covid apparently. Climbed Wat Phnom hill , visited several temples and Wat Ounalom and Russian Market as a tourist program and three days in Phnom Penh went fast. Then I went for a week to Siem Reap which will be reported separately.
