Taking guys off for karaoke is a fun group activity and I have done it once last year and enjoyed it tremendously. The trick to ensuring a fun night is finding the right guys - those who are fun-loving and of course they love to sing! During this trip, I organised a karaoke night for some forum members. Actually I didn't do much. I just approached the Hotmale Beer Bar downstairs waiters for karaoke and they suggested the venue. (But I did have to speak personally to manager upstairs to allow 3 guys off as it would leave the bar short-handed for the night). Last year, we went to Happy Beer Garden private Karaoke room at the back of its restaurant. "Happy Beer Garden small. We go new karaoke Soi Tarntawan. Big room," they suggested. So off we went - 8 of us in total - to a building directly opposite Super A. The name is officially The Sky Restaurant but a traditional restaurant it definitely is not! We went in and on first floor was a ballroom with a stage and tables and seats. At the side of the ballroom were many ladies seated. They looked at us sweetly but we were all taken. We went upstairs to a private room. Big enough for up to 15 people. There was an en suite bathroom. Cost of room was 600 baht per hour. There was a free 1 hour deal for 2 hours of karaoke so we took it. Ended up with karaoke for 3 hours from 9pm to midnight. The guys ordered food and we even got a bottle of Absolut vodka (1800 baht with unlimited mixers). Total cost was 6k but it was a fun night. One of the guys was a big K-Pop fan so he sang K-Pop songs enthusiastically with dance moves. Forum members and I knew we couldn't sing so we let the guys sing on their own - Myanmar, Vietnamese and Korean songs. I knew some of the guys are fantastic singers but I didn't realise the other guys could sing as well - maybe it's their culture. Overall a fun night to hang out with the guys and get to know them better.

Summary of my visits to bars (in alphabetical order) and my grades Banana Bar Show - B (too many ladyboy and pretty boy singing) Guys - B (too few) Dreamboys Show - A (something for everyone, thumbs up for coyote dancing) Guys - A (many guys, wide spectrum and variety) Freshboys Show - B (big cock show is too long!) Guys - A (many, many attractive twinks and twunks) Good Boy (formerly Screwboys) Show - B (campy show, can be rather fun with right crowd) Guys - B (many twinks and twunks but Freshboys are more attractive) Hot Male Show - B (decent show put up by the guys themselves) Guys - B (few guys) Jupiter Show - B (polished and professional, entertaining singers) Guys - B (handsome twunks and hunks but difficult to approach) Moonlight Show - B (professional, recently added coyote dancing on weekend nights) Guys - A (many handsome guys - not the models but the normal guys) The One (formerly Tawan) Show - B (a lot of waiting in between performances) Guys - B (I find some of the smaller sized hunks attractive but too few. Most are big sized bodybuilder types) Just my personal opinion. Hope no one gets offended. To be fair, I didn't attend the full shows for The One, Banana Bar and Hot Male. I was there for only one show each. But for the other bars, I stayed for 2 shows each during the nights I visited.

Some discoveries about the bars and guys that I made during trip: 1) There are brothers working in same bar! One brother told me that he had kinky 3somes with customer and his brother! 2) Guys move frequently. I know of at least 3 personally. A waiter who was at Freshboys in October last year went to Sol Bar in December and is now at Jupiter (probably because Sol closed down). A good-looking tall guy who was at Dreamboys is now at Jupiter happily entertaining the ladies. I would say it's a promotion for him! A cute Laos guy whom I off from Freshboys is now at Moonlight and I took him back one night. 3) Some guys are married with kids and they don't tell customers - even their regular customers for many years!

He probably spent most of the 4 hours talking about stamp collection. Lol!

Final Day at Boot Camp: Arena at 2 Discretion guy at 4 (for 4 hours!) O at 9 for LT I fear the Boot Camp instructor himself is the only one fit enough to pass this grueling military training!! 😆 Could any of you keep up??

Just saw a post on Twitter that there's a new host club in Chiang Mai called V1. Looks like lots of playful handsome boys. No idea exactly where it is located or any other details though. https://x.com/ShunJou/status/1804364133221175751

From The Nation Preparation is under way for LOVE PRIDE ♥ PARADE 2024, the kingdom’s longest pride parade, scheduled for June 30 in downtown Bangkok to mark the conclusion of Pride Month, which has been celebrating gender diversity and equality of the LGBTQIAN+ communities since June 1. Pride Month this year is extra-special in Thailand now that it has become the first ASEAN country to legalise same-sex marriage. The Senate approved the Equal Marriage Bill during final deliberation on Tuesday (June 18), and the law is expected to be in effect around the end of the year. The LOVE PRIDE ♥ PARADE 2024 project is organised under a collaboration among the government, public agencies and private sector comprising more than 100 corporations and organisations. Held under the concept “Love, Equality, Peace”, the event aims to complement the government’s policy of making Thailand a global pride-festival destination and an entertainment hub of Asia. The policy is part of the government’s Ignite Thailand initiative, which aims to make the country a hub for tourism, medical treatment, food, aviation, logistics, electric vehicles, digital economy and finance by 2030. The Mall Group, one of the organisers of the parade, has said that LOVE PRIDE ♥ PARADE 2024 would be the longest parade in Asia. The parade will start at 4pm on Sunday June 30 at the National Stadium in Pathum Wan district. Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin will preside over the opening ceremony, the company said. The parade will then proceed along Rama I Road through Pathum Wan Intersection, Siam Square, Ratchaprasong Intersection, Phloen Chit Road, Asoke Intersection, and Sukhumvit Road for a distance of around 6 kilometres, before ending at Benchasiri Park, where a concert will be held from 6.30pm onward.

Do you think that what happens in Vegas is representative of what happens in the US? Perhaps it is, like in a concentrate. Anyways, as a South American, I do find Americans kinkier than us. I always thought it was related to Puritanism and one of its by products, the inability to enjoy sex as a natural, positive interaction. EDIT: perhaps we should go to another thread to discuss this topic.

Thank you for your Massage Therapist recommendations, and I think I've found what I'm looking for at Motion Wellness, across the street from Tukcom IT mall. The therapist is a medical doctor, and is priced depending on time and various body parts involved. No Happy Ending - these are serious medial staff who treat people needing rehab therapy, and are very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend!

I've heard he has quite the collection...

A quick google shows that the location is in between adams apple and new circle club along the same big road, changphuak

As @vinapu so wisely said about the problem living in Thailand....you don't get to "Visit" Thailand 😉

Because people want to STAY in USA, Australia and other first world countries...Can you tell the same about your country? "NO WAY!" 😝😝😝 You've heard the expression "Nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there" .... 🙄

i visited them last week the experience was not good it was like average

Day 8 As it turned out neither bkkmfj nor me had breakfast companions so he invited me to use fact that his breakfast included in room rate was for 2 people. Then I visited Silom market, post office on Charoen Krung and XOne to make last money exchange and returned to the room . At 12.30 we were supposed to meet with reader at Unesco but they were surprisingly busy and reader suggested we move to some coffee place on Suriwong past “Tawan corner”. This was our last chance to trade news as tomorrow I’m taking off at noon. Very handy meeting place and substitute for sadly demised and short lived CofeeGrinder. From there bkkmfj and I decided to go to Arena warmly greeted on arrival by veteran mamas an Art and usual cabal of hunks trying to bring attention to themselves. Fortunately each of us had different favorite so we did not need to compete. Mine was Tawan sized hunk, strong and very anxious to make good impression so both parts of massage ritual were great. On my way to hotel I stopped by KFC in Union building on Silom and bought 500 baht bucket of their treats because this is what I was asked/ ordered to do by my 4 p.m. visitor who is great fan of that fare. He is guy not from the scene and discreet to the extreme. Working shifts, so our usual agreement when I’m in Bangkok is that he tells me when he can come and for how long and on my side it’s yes or no. Sometimes is on very short notice , sometimes few days in advance but main thing is there is no drama at all. If we can ‘t meet at time when he is free , we will try next time which may be next day or next trip or something in between. When comes to discretion Raya is the best with her card access , bypassing the reception. We met downstairs when he lined me is is arriving Bkkmfj was anxious to see my guy and I did not want any hint of indiscretion so I advised him to sit by elevator pretending to scroll through his phone and when we emerged from elevator we just walked by like some stranger was there. Inspection done, door closed, fun started. As in January he surprised me with the kiss- it took me a while to extract on and that in January was our first ever and thing only to got better and hotter , of course with interruption to taste that KFC treats. Today he had only 4 hrs for me and at 8 as arranged originally he left taking about half of that bucket with him. I got 1 hr to tidy room over, run to 7/11 to buy more beers as at 9 O, masseur from 2 days ago was supposed to show up for our first ever overnight. It was only because our common forum friend who saw him last month told me that he feels O will be amendable for LT session. In fast he was quite happy to agree when I asked and so at 9.00 I got a message ‘ I’m arrived “. So another run downstairs to bring him in and my farewell with Thailand started. Known quality but it looks that perspective of long time ( perhaps also related tip) and few beers he sampled energized him and he turned up to be as busy and energetic as N few night ago. Exceeded expectations is the best description as I kind of knew him as being bit on serious and quiet side but that was not a case tonight. We were fake boyfriends and ones who like each other company immensely. At one pint even he dared to ask question ‘ do you ever sleep?” . Honestly I wonder if we meet again in the future and for sure we will , will he be willing to try another LT with me ?. My last off this trip was her crowing event. In the morning sad reality settled down that not only day 8 is over but whole trip. Summary tomorrow

This subject attracted some interest in a more general discussion of Bangkok. So here goes. What are posters' preferences for breakfast? Room only plus 7 11? or , ahem, a certain place in Patpong? or a lavish spread? I only have daily company when i'm in Thailand and so I particularly enjoy a relaxed breakfast with P. And quickie reviews? Tarntawan's breakfast is always enjoyed, particularly since it changed to a buffet plus cooked options. Agate is fine for P, who always chooses Thai options, and we like eating opposite the waterfall. The most disappointing? Aonang Villas in Krabi, the most expensive hotel we've ever stayed in. Limited and over-priced. Very over-priced. The best setting? Golden Beach, also in Krabi. Almost on the beach. I only eat what used to be called a continental-style breakfast- that is, no cooked dishes- but I still want the use of a decent toaster and a variety of jams and fruit juices. The best ? Chiang Mai's Amora, a 4* place near Thapae. Larger than any other places we stay in and so with a lot of customers and consequently an enormous choice. And well-priced, too. A final question; is there anywhere in Thailand where you can get decent bacon? and, more importantly for me, top-quality coffee? The best I 've had was in a gay guesthouse in Patong, the Rendezvous. French ownership , predictably. And, surprisingly, Zing in JC where we ate on a few occasions when Agate wasn't offering breakfast. Charming service, too.

What do you mean? Don't Americans love Rio? is it only us, the homo sluts addicted to GP saunas?

For Brazilian internal flights, whatever you do, do not wait until the last minute. A month or two in advance, Rio-Sao can be around $30 each way. (Often cheaper on Brazil based sites vs US-based sites). But with the Gol/Latam/Azul triopoly in place, these rise to hundreds of dollars at that last minute. Recently when I was there, a determined Rio-Sao flyer could have bought GIG-GRU-DFW-AUS for less than $300, tossed away the GRU-DFW-AUS and saved about $200 on the Brazilian domestic flight, which was approaching $500. Rio-SCL(Chile) and back SCL-SAO was also cheaper than RIO-SAO). Another trick that typically works only going into Sao Paulo but not leaving it, is to buy a ticket that connects in SAO that can be much cheaper than flying to SAO alone. I had only about a week's advance and Rio-Sao had already advanced to about $200, but RIO-SAO-SSA was still only around $60. (This rarely works originating in SAO because SAO has direct flights to nearly everywhere and routing from SAO through Rio is not offered). If it does become last-minute, keep in mind that AA has Gol awards for 7500 (good availability) and BA has Latam for 6000 Avios (only spotty availability) For getting back and forth between RIO and SAO at the last minute, also keep in mind the onibus, which is quite comfortable. I also had a nice social experience (no, no, not that kind of experience, although I'm sure that can happen too) For flights to and from Brazil, the calculus is quite different, as fares seem to rise little, if at all, at the last minute. Indeed, a few months ago AA was offering up its cherished GIG-MIA monopoly for around $300 only for the last few days before departure. For those with more time than money, it can make sense to buy a cheap US domestic ticket to a city that has cheap fares to Brazil, which are often to cities other than Rio or Sao Paulo. Some current examples LAX-SAO (AA often, others less frequently), SFO-CNF (AA), MIA-SSA or CNF, (AA) AUS-RIO or SAO (All). Also, in some cases (but not others) there can be little advantage to buying round trip. The LAX and SFO fares are not available as return only, whereas the MIA and AUS are. This opens up the possibility of segment-tossing, although if you have status or miles with a particular carrier, it is not worth the risk. A Brazilian friend wanted to go to Orlando and was going to pay $500 for an awful connection on Avianca, I steered him to a sub-$300 fare on LATAM GRU-MCO(-AUS) I have not seen stopovers (>24 hours) allowed, which is pretty typical for international routes. But not have I seen even the slightest open jaws allowed, which typically are permitted. I don't know why they are so strict in the Brazil context. But, depending on the fare you may not lose much by buying 2 one-ways

Yes, been there, done that, but I don't like noise from Surawong! Especially if there is a holiday, it can be noisy. And of course, as a religious guy, I benefit from the view over the temple complex! 😛 So, I'm afraid I always ask for a 24! Rather dull, I know...

Another great summary report! Thank you for your contribution

Only singing, nothing else?

Your pic is wrong. Ukrainians still able to visit Russia without visa.

I'll be glad to do that.

What's that awful stench? ... Dear Lord, please take me now . . It wasn't me, I did nothing wrong Just try to ignore it . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Something just died in here

The Thaiger and ASEAN Now teamed up to publish an informative article about what to do if denied angry at airport or border crossings. It explains a lot of technical jargon and offers work arounds. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/ive-been-denied-entry-to-thailand-now-what

Thank you for another great trip report! Worth the wait!

If you are in Bangkok during first two weeks of December, I might see you at Le Meridien. I always stay there. My typical routine is evening lounge from 6pm to 8pm. I would chat with Michael and the other guest ambassadors. Then I would go off to bars for the rest of the night. During my most recent trip, I was given a room on same floor as lounge - 24th floor! It was so convenient to go to the lounge!

Individual poll numbers will go up and down. The trend is clearly toward Biden at this moment. Everyone relax, if the former President loses again, we'll just have to continue to muddle along with democracy.

Indeed, I cant see General Prayut attending!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the last week, three innocent Americans were murdered by Biden illegals that his open border policy ALLOWED to enter this country. Trump will bring up Biden's open door policy that allows unvetted illegals to enter where they are given free housing, medical education, debit cards, cell phones, etc. Trump will bring it up at every opportunity during the debate because the American voters are sick of it. Crime by Biden's illegals is an issue that works 90% for Trump. Do you even understand that? I don't think so. You are TOTALLY CLUELESS without msn.com. How sad.

Yesterday, 22 June 2024 was the Pattaya International Pride Festival 2024, with the theme "Pride for All". I have to say that I was VERY impressed and I apologize for my previous reporting, as I had implied that there may have been some "bad water" that caused Pattaya to have 2 distinct parade celebrations. After having experienced both parades and seeing how and why they were presented, it was very obvious that one event is subordinate to the other - which I had misunderstood because the Jomtien / Dongtan pride event, Pattaya Community Event, went before the much bigger Pride for All event that was held today. My bad, as I am still a newly retired person here and as a farang it is very difficult to understand everything. I also had the naïve belief that for today's parade, that Boyztown, should be the lead event. Instead, it was of minor importance, as Boyztown only had one single float out of perhaps 30 floats ?? that were in the parade, which consisted of the Castro Cabaret Show and Panorama - with their float labeled as: Boyztown Pattaya. Today's "Pride for All" event goes WAY beyond Boyztown, as it had MAJOR representation from almost all of the important Pattaya businesses, from the local hospitals, big name stores (Pattana and Central Festival), important social and political clubs, restaurants, government institutions, and what surprised me the most was the dedication of 2 floats sponsored by 2 of the most important bar complexes in soi Buakhao, LK Metro and Treetown - which are the primary heterosexual entertainment centers in Pattaya. Compared to the 2 weeks prior Jomtien parade, this parade was massive. Since the Thai government has solicited to host the 2030 World Gay Pride event in Thailand - and after seeing today's PRIDE event - I can see that Thailand will be an excellent host for this prestigious event. The parade route was from the Central Marina shopping mall, past the Terminal 21 shopping mall (which was decked out with giant pride flag decorations), and then down Beach road terminating at the Central Festival shopping mall. I joined the parade just as it was leaving the Central Marina mall area and I walked with it until about mid way on Beach road to finally be able to sit down and enjoy an iced capuccino frappe and to watch the rest of the parade pass. One of my Thai friends joined me there and then after the parade terminated we went over to Central Festival to eat dinner and then to watch the night performances of many important drag queens, famous Thai TV stars, and other wonderful performers. --> please note that the below photos were taken from the Central Pattaya facebook page, as they were of much higher quality than my more simple photos https://www.facebook.com/CentralPattayaBeach Starting point within the Central Marina mall Gay Pride flag along Beach road More of the crowd on Beach road Great to see the Thai Prime Minister, Srettha Thavisin, alongside with the Pattaya Mayor, Poramet Ngampichet together at the parade. ok, that is all for now - I may post some more pictures / videos tomorrow.

Can't you book a multi-city JFK-GRU and GRU-GIG/SDU?

hmm - this an interesting perspective because at my previous employer this was one of our BIGGEST topics of conversation (hours and hours): Where will you retire? What is the taxation policy in the desired country? Does this country respect the United Nations tax treaties after you stop working and go into retirement status? Choose your retirement country wisely if you are a USA citizen - because they have a "Citizenship based global taxation" which does not honor the United Nations non taxable income rules - because then you can find yourself paying tax twice on your UN income if your designated retirement tax country implements a "Global taxation" based on tax residency regime. So, for me and for my former work colleagues at the UN, this was of primary or secondary importance because of UN tax treaties - which are in addition to our Citizenship and/or tax residency status.

A in his bar days liked to mentor younger guys and help them to establish foot in the trade. Once in the bar when drinking with him , after securing he will go with me, A noticed that I look longingly at Y whom I know only from seeing him on the stage at now gone New Twilight bar. So he thoughtfully suggested that he will talk to him and if Y agrees I can take home both of them. It worked marvelously although no, they did not interact with each other but that was disclaimed in the beginning so we knew what we are playing. As for selection , yes, it's fruit of prior trips. It pays to keep some guys loyal, smile here , tip there and invitation to a meal before or after the deed, all keeps business on little bit of personalized level. Advantage of Long Time is that there's always time to get more personal with guys , not in carnal but social sense. And yes, upping agreed tip by 1-2 hundreds enhances goodwill while refusing taxi money when tipped well already, reminds them that I know the game. It helps to have friends in high places. A was actually introduced to me by one of our members. Y in change was introduced by me to another member who in change lead to to few other precious finds even going into pain of introducing guy to me in person to make sure he will play along.

Day 7 Known quality is known quality. As they say , S never disappoints and never ask for extra money, taxi etc. Since my room is without breakfast we went for one to Foodland, time honored habit. Rest of morning lazy but at 2 pm I decided to check Senso again, 3rd day in row. Guy behind the counter sported very wide smile seeing me, such a loyal customer. My smile was even wider because I saw that Leo, my guy from two days before was free so we climbed stairs to the same room we were in last time. As it often happens second time was even more rewarding then first as we knew bit about ourselves already. May be massage part was bit shorter , but second part bit longer so it levelled itself off. Certainly he was my best discovery this trip. Good English was a bonus and we talked a lot. So Senso definitely is back in my good books. For good while it was my best massage shop in Bangkok. Today I finally made decision of that 10000 a night offer I was contemplating for last few days and decided not to pursue it. Fiscal discipline and stuff. I contacted Y and he promised to show up at 9 so I knew another great meet up is in the cards. Bkkmfj and me decided to try A’s restaurant again. Now we had a picture so there was no fear we may miss it and off for dinner we went. Restaurant is small, 4 tables only and for such small place has impressive list of dishes. A was not there but since I announced our arrival by Line staff already told us he will be there soon. And indeed he showed up. Did not lose anything from his impressive musculature but what we noticed on the pics we took was something looking like wedding ring on his finger. So it looks like that restaurant may be mean of him settling down being chained to some girl ( I guess girl since he always boasted about how straight he is). We spent quite a while there, I promised to visit every time I ‘ll be in Bangkok and who knows , perhaps he still will be available to go with some of his loyal patron from the past I hopefully thought to myself. Y lined at 9 pm on the dot he is already downstairs so I went to pick him up, before everything I gave him 500 for off fee he paid to the bar already and another paradisiac session started. Among his many advantages is fact that I’d like to be with him even if for some reason he would stay fully dressed throughout. Fortunately we never managed to climb such heights of perversion but I’m saying , just in case. There is something in him I like very a lot ! Since he is shackled with girl and must be home at certain time apparently because she like s to dine with him that late/ early he left at 3 am. To make sure he will be home there was phone at about 2.40 but al that was explained earlier and expected so no drama. Energized I decided to do late night survey of the area just curious if that late one still can get lucky. Thainya and soi 4 were deserted although I saw some people still entering completely darkened Banana Club, in Patpong 2 I met two HotMale Beer bar waiters including famous Alex going home after end of their shift, few people were eating in Foodland but nobody of interest and in soi6 in front of one shop there were 2 cute boys who offered massage but I felt I had enough of day today and I politely declined claiming I’m shy and tired. And this is how day 7 was over

Le Meridien has a great breakfast, as does the W. The fantastic breakfasts are one of my reasons for going to Thailand.

I liked the Tarntawn breakfast when I stayed there which was mostly eggs on toast with some cold cuts plus fresh fruit and coffee and of course a read of the morning paper. The Raya was ok but a bit lacking in some aspects as it would be eggs on toast with a few of those little sausages and fresh fruit and of course coffee but alas the last 2 times I was there no morning paper. No matter where it was there is always a good walk around Lumphini Park after breakfast.

Day 5 Upon return to hotel from breakfast finally I got a chance to see bkkmfj and we spend hour or so trading news of last night and this morning. Today we are moving to De Arni, often overlooked hotel on Suriwong just across Siam Heritage hotel. We were lucky because rooms were already available so we made technical break till 2. De Arni is very good deal , rooms are sizable and everything works. I will jump the gun and say that no problem with visitors as well. Not sure why is rarely mentioned but definitely I can recommend it to all our budget conscious members as it’s very good deal and location hard to beat. At 2 pm we walked, oh no, marched as its boot camp to Senso. It used to be my favorite place in the area and always had goose bumps on approach, then post covid I neglected it a bit due to two not so stellar experiences but was happy to go there again and drag bkkmfj with me. After absence all guys were new to me and I picked up Leo, tall and muscular with unbuttoned shirt showing sexy chest. In the room two nice surprises , he just started there and his English is very good. Obviously trained in massage so I let him do his job before making certain moves. Muscular, well trained , bi-lingual and as it turned very soon also very romantic so we had very rewarding session and on departure I knew I will be back very soon.1490 for the room and min tip for session 1500 but obviously he deserved better. Next step was kind of mission as I learned that A, super muscular hunk from Moonlight is no longer in the business because he opened restaurant on Pradipat. I got a lead from one of our members who visited him there so we took BTS to Siam, changed to other line for just one station Ratchatevi and marched from there toward well visible overpass . I was told place is right under it to the right. Unfortunately we focused on another restaurant where nobody speak English and In short, we did not find it. So I made my picture standing there and Lined it to A hoping for response . I meantime we decided to go to Madrid Tavern in Charoen Krung soi 49, I lined Anddy from the forum to join us and when on the train I got confirmation from him and message from A standing in front of his place. I promised to see him there next day or two. At Madrid I’m well known so lady only confirmed ‘ usual?” and bottle of Chang landed in front of me while pizza with shallots and cherry tomatoes was placed in the oven. Anddy showed few minutes after us. We had nice time there as always, place is quite small so it always fun to see ladies there pretending they don’t hear what we are talking about . What we were talking about you can imagine, of course true to form , nothing debaucherous. Evening was rolling when we left, Andy went away on his motorbike and I introduced bkkmfj to charms of Bangkok buses. By bus it’s really very short hop to Patpong. Shower, shave as always before I hit bars and tonight’s stop was Hot Male. S seeing me sported VERY WIDE smile so I wasted no time to call him over and after we finished our drinks we changed scenery to Dreamboys. Normally I don’t drag bar boys to another bars but S expressed an interest to go so there of us crossed the soi. When we climbed stairs whom I saw ? Handsome Cambodian, hero if my several offing stories, missing in BBB, missing in Jupiter but found there. What I noticed he is bit less handsome then when he charmed me few years ago, nevertheless I was happy to see him and subsequently tip when he was on the stage. Soon after he was called over by quite attractive Chinese looking girl and not before long off they went so obviously he still has it. We watched a bit of show but S was hungry and I was anxious to show him me new stamps so again we crossed soi to Unesco where reader was dining again with his friend so we joined them at adjacent table. After that short march to hotel and so called happy reunion. Advantage S has in my eyes is that apart from being excellent trip companion is that I sense he likes me , strange as it sounds. It must be my left elbow or something but he does. Even now , writing that I’m smiling. In the morning 2nd round , bit more steamy as I like morning gymnastics and day 5, not exactly boring, was over.

Thank you for this pleasing update!

ok, as promised, I made contact with Punya today - the owner of Sansuk Sauna & Guesthouse https://sansukthailand.com/ He confirmed that the rumor that started this thread is FALSE. He did not sell Sansuk and he is still the current owner of Sansuk. He was happy to be alerted by this false rumor and that I volunteered to clarify the situation.

Hotmale had about 12 to 15 guys. Similar small set-up as Banana Bar. But all shows are performed by the Hotmale guys themselves. Few customers on a Friday night. Forum member who went with me on a Friday night multiple bar visit finally found his guy from Hotmale - someone he was already familiar with. Personally, I rarely visit Hotmale because I am already smitten by Hotmale Beer Bar waiters downstairs. 😛 Good Boy's change of name from Screwboys is not the only change. The guys have stopped wearing basketball singlet and shorts. They are wearing white boxers briefs and trunks and showing their chests. In terms of show, it remains the same. Lots of diva ladyboys singing but the audience loves them, especially a group of 4 drunk Taiwanese customers seated at the back one particular night. They were singing along enthusiastically and waving the lights in their handphones as if they were attending a concert. Many guys at Good Boy - 30 to 40 all packed into the tiny bar. I was there for 3 nights and went away with 2 different offs on 2 nights - one Vietnamese and one Laos.

Hey, @musgrave I was there in Bangkok for 2 weeks. I believe you were there at same time as me. We could have been in Freshboys and Good Boy at the same time in one of the nights! Totally agree with you about No. 28 in Freshboys. I tipped him 100 baht when I left. Excellent performer and great body. Yes, waiters are too direct with their request for tips. I see some of the same performers in Good Boy at Dreamboys. They move around different bars at night doing shows. Sorry you fell ill and could not continue visiting the bars during your other nights. Hope we might meet in future (tentatively December this year for me). Looks like we like the same type of twinky guys!

so true - here in Pattaya we don't have anything similar. When you go to a massage shop here in Pattaya it is like going to the fish market - all the available guys are sitting outside the shop in the shade sweating in the unbearable hot heat and the minute you approach they all start yelling at you and even pulling at you to chose them. I find the process awkward and intimidating. In Pattaya, there is no booking system nor Line listing of available guys with their stats. In Bangkok - you can join the Line of the shop that you are interested in and receive an advance listing with photos and sometimes other pertinent information (age, weight, sexual preference, etc.). Then you can communicate via Line with the manager about which guys that you are interested in and then arrange a booking. You arrive at the shop an there is NO group of guys sitting outside waiting to pounce on you to choose them like in a fish market. Instead, you take off your shoes, enter the shop, someone runs over to you to give you a cold towel to cool off your face / neck. You sit down in a beautiful calm airconditioned environment with nice music playing. A manager comes and brings you water or tea. Then perhaps the guy that you booked brings to you a selection of massage oils that you can sniff and choose which one you prefer for your massage. If only Pattaya had a civilized massage experience like Bangkok has ......

I don't think reader has missed much by not having yet visited Jey Spa. Over several visits over the years, I have yet to have to a memorable encounter except perhaps the very first or second time I was there (easily >10 years ago). The guys are OK, the services OK, but I have yet to see twice as much value as the "more pedestrian places", considering that Jey Spa is setting its price level at twice those places. But I can see how those punters who set great store by how the body looks to the eye would rate Jey Spa well, whereas my experience has been that looks do not indicate the quality of service you get. I do understand though that if the partner does not look a certain way, they don't even feel any arousal, so they'd rate Jey Spa differently from me. I think I have mentioned it before, but my theory is that some of us are broad-spectrum players, others are narrow-spectrum players, needing a specific type.

The owner appears to be well-financed and has set his sights on dominating the soi. I believe that there are four other all-male shops on the soi. In previous trips, they've always had sufficient staff to cover the other two locations. They claim to have an all-Thai staff.

So, I spent a few days in Vegas with my friend from Brazil earlier this month and now have a question for the esteemed members of this board. Background: Friend is a gorgeous 28 year old from RJ that speaks English decently but since his vocabulary comes mainly from listing to American music there still are some issues. Friend has been known to fuck tourists in exchange for reais but says he is not doing that here and I believe him. In order to experience America fully, friend used Grindr to meet people he found attractive in Vegas and elsewhere in America (full disclosure, his taste skews heavily toward tall white men) and told me he had the following experiences all inside of about a two week period: 1. Met a guy at a hotel who after they were both naked spent most of his time and energy massaging Friend’s feet and rubbing his dick against Friend’s feet. Friend did not like this and made an excuse to leave. 2. Met a local guy at his house who was “hot and a good bottom” but apparently asked Friend if he could watch him pee after they were done having sex. Friend did not like this and blocked the guy after he left the house even though the sex was good and the guy politely walked away after Friend said no to his request to watch. 3. Met a tall blond hair blue eyed insanely attractive guy at a hotel. After walking into the suite, his Grindr date introduced him to “surprise” a 60-something year old out of shape white guy that wanted to watch them fuck. Since Grindr date was apparently one of the most attractive guys Friend has ever met, Friend went through with the encounter and let the old guy watch. If you are wondering, yes, this happened in Vegas. The suite was in the Wynn to be specific. Friend uses Grindr in RJ and swears that nothing like these incidents has ever happened (or ever will) to him in Brazil. Is America really that much more kinky than Brazil? If so, why? If anything, I would have expected the opposite. Brazil has always seemed to be relaxed about sex for the most part and America, well, as discussed in other threads, I’m still astounded that America somehow leads the world in handing out PrEP free of charge so that gay boys can safely exchange bodily fluids with each other.
