15M Massage has been featuring a guy in recent posts that I find difficult to forget: "Harn". Not that it's particularly easy to forget any of them IMO. ======== Nearby Phetboy Spa has posted a link to videos on Tik Tok. https://www.tiktok.com/@phetboyspa?_t=8n6PAB7TEiA&_r=1 Its continually updated lists of masseurs is available at https://phetboyspa.blogspot.com/2024/02/phetboy-spa.html

I am a mature cis Canadian gay guy who recently moved to Bangkok. I am curious about the gay scene, but a bit shy to venture out alone in Silom reading so many comments about mamasans and MBs who pressure you to drink and spend. I drink alcohol but I am not a big drinker. I am seeking friends over 50 like me to experience the Silom scene, and maybe chill out once in a while (I am not seeking a s*x partner as I like younger guys). I did put a similar post in Facebook and received a lot of nasty comments for being gay, so not trying that again. But I found this forum and hope to have better luck here. I live in central Bangkok.

NOTE -- On recent trip I was approached by a foreign male on Surawong Road (near Soi Thaniya), asking if I knew where he could find a hospital. After I directed him to nearby Bangkok Christian Hospital, he followed up and asked if I could change some money for him. I knew instinctively this was a scam attempt. If you're new to LOS, never agree to change money for a stranger. From Pattaya News Two Pakistani nationals were apprehended in Kamala after a series of thefts involving a clever 1,000 baht banknote trick. The suspects targeted businesses across Phuket, Pattaya, and other provinces. On Wednesday (July 24th) at 9:00 P.M., a foreign suspect entered a Kamala pharmacy posing as a customer. He engaged the pharmacist in conversation, using a 1,000 baht banknote to confuse them. The ruse involved pretending to buy small items, then claiming he didn’t want them, resulting in the pharmacist returning the banknote. The suspect would then change his mind and speak quickly, confusing the cashier, receiving both the items and the change, effectively leaving with the original 1,000 baht note. In the west, this sort of scam is called short changing, or a short change artist. The second suspect waited on a motorbike outside the pharmacy, ready to flee. This same tactic was employed at a mini mart in Kamala and three other businesses in Patong. In June, the duo executed similar scams in Pattaya, and earlier in March, they targeted shops in central Thailand, including Ayutthaya, Ang Thong, and Singburi according to Thai police. Authorities from multiple provinces had been pursuing the suspects until their arrest in Kamala on Thursday (July 25th). The thieves claimed they were intoxicated when committing the crimes and that they hadn’t meant to con anyone. Phuket Police have urged other businesses in the region to come forward if they fell victim to this scam. However, the names and ages of the arrested suspects remain undisclosed. Phuket police have also warned that these men may be part of a larger network and also could be involved in scams involving short changing tourists in areas like Phuket and Pattaya, confusing them by asking to help them exchange money and then short changing the victim instead.

I went Thursday night. 4 customers. Show only started at 11 so sat for quite a while. 500 thb entry fee. Comes with one drink. They had 8 male performers, one drag queen. The men had a variety of body types. One fit twink. One with no muscle, just chubby. Then lean muscle to bodybuilder roidgut. None were as pretty as the men you find at other shows, so don’t go looking for that. The owner or the guy running things that night seemed to be the hottest one! Lots of men with darker skin. My preference. They go up on stage two at a time. Before the show, they stand there. During the show, some performances were just two of them doing slow posing routines. They had a cockshow parade, could tip to touch and they all went around to each table. Next was cumshot. Sadly he received no tips, but still shot a load. There were some S&M performances. Running an ice cube over an asshole. Bags and masks over faces. It was just no atmosphere that night with a dead and unwilling to tip audience. I gave some tips during the “parade” to touch, but even I left before the show was over.

I get the feeling about being hesitant with the pressure, I'm also not a big drinker most of the time and I'm fairly introverted so I dislike having someone hovering trying to get me to make decisions. The first time I went a few years ago I was alone and very nervous, but after that first time it's easy. Sometimes I think we give the impression it's going to be relentless and confrontational, but it really isn't 99% of the time. It's just them trying to keep you there buying (any) drinks and hopefully getting you to take someone off. The mamasans don't care what you drink as long as you're not sitting on empty forever, most of the time I'm just drinking soda and lime (Schweppes Manao Soda). If the mamasan is asking you to pick a guy from stage and you either don't want to or haven't made a decision, just say "I will watch and chose later". Most of the time they get the hint and leave you alone for a bit while you decide to pick someone or pay your bill. The MBs are usually the least pressure in the bars i've found, it's after the ST or LT they'll send messages and try to get you back. You can avoid it by just not giving them your Line or Social Media. I still get a bit uncomfortable if the gogo is empty and I have a stage full of hopeful eyes looking at me, so maybe do a lap of the bars and look for one that isn't empty for the first time. If you go just before the show or during the show times it's more likely to have a crowd to sit and observe for a while. I'm under 50 and not there atm to intro, but i wish you well.

They were probably shocked by the amount of other people's DNA that registered.... thank goodness there wasn't a throat swab 🙈

typical pro-lifer, they oppose abortion in the morning , in the afternoon are all for death penalty, day after day

Clearly he cant separate the issue of Abortion from post-birth childcare. The GOP believes that after chikdren are born, you can forget about them until they get shot in school.... And then they'll offer their thoughts and prayers.

The immigration level that is needed should be determined as part of comprehensive immigration reform. The neo-conservative economic revolution of the 1980s has made housing unaffordable to wide swaths of the American public, this, indirectly or directly, impacts decisions on having children. The economy requires a certain level of immigration, for both skilled and unskilled jobs. Building a wall, or talking about building a wall because you're too incompetent to actually build a wall, is a stupid and misguided policy in terms of solving America's long-term economic needs regarding immigration.

at Hot Male on 2nd floor that have go-go bar. Like in every go-go bar in Thailand this is where you will see boys presenting themselves on the stage , usually bare chested , sometimes in jeans , sometimes in just briefs with number pinned somewhere. That indicates he is available to be taken out . Around 10.30 they will have a show with finale most likely being big cock show after which boys will circulate audience for tip in exchange for a feel of their rigid thingy. T you not obligated to tip but in such case don't touch guy either as it will be bad form, just look is for free. I usually tip 50 or 100 , some others just 20 drink is likely 500 and it's in reality admission ticket to a bar with 1 drink included. As you enter you will be seated and asked what do you want to drink. With your order invoice will be brought and placed in bin in front of you , you will pay when you will be leaving but feel free to pay right away if you wish so -I usually do. You can invite boy to seat with you, then either ask mamasan (waiter) to call him over or , like I do , motion him yourself. You should offer him a drink which , depending on bar will be the same , slightly cheaper or slightly dearer than your drink, we are talking 50-100 baht deviation either way, in Hot Male if I recall it's the same. If you subsequently decide to off (take with you ) that guy , you will get another invoice in your bin. In such a case no need to tip guy you are taking. If you decide to send hi back after a while you should tip him 100-300 may be even more depending on length of time you were holding him and how things went under the table. A we all know , hand holding and cock holding are not exactly the same. Try to be discreet though , just follow boy's lead. Keep in mind if you not planning to take boy with you by holding him you are depriving him chance of getting business so either compensate for that with higher tip or sent him back with his tip after he is done with his drink. Off fee for taking boy is almost universal 500, only exception I know in Bangkok is offing models from Moonlight which is 1000, floor boys there, often as attractive as models are still at 500 Waiter at Hot Male beer bar on ground floor can be taken home too for the same 500 but sometimes you may need to wait till end of their shift. More questions-ask

Happens worldwide, not just Thailand.

I am glad he is ready to ask for forgiveness and more money...

ST = Short Time - the guy goes back to your room and you do the deed then he leaves. LT = Long time - usually overnight and sometimes the morning LLT = Long long time - multi-day/night arrangements, i would say do this only when you know him and you have good chemistry. When in the bar and you have picked the guy you like and you're having your drink with him, ask if him 'you want to go short/long time with me', then he will usually respond with yes and price paid to him directly in the room after the time. The bar also charges a fee 'off fee' to take him from the bar and it will be added to your bill in the bar. I'm not in BKK atm, I can only travel to and from when work permits unfortunately.

Fame at last.

They called hydroaccumulating power plants and for them you need that reservoir to be very high located - at night pumps move water up and and day water flow down and powering turbines, but a) they are not possible in flat Cambodia, b) they are below 30MW of power

Honestly?! What dicks, presumably they were in it together. I know there is a level of desperation etc, but they had clearly established a positive reputation which must have been with more than just the posters here and they have just trashed that without consideration for the upset that it has caused those who were fond of them(and might have helped them if they had just been honest).

Great to heat Gop is alive but questions lingers - who was cremated on that Wednesday mentioned in OP. I know dead body but whose ?

size of your endowment perhaps ? Not trying to be smart, while leaving one of Bangkok hotels for breakfast there was short exchange between my boy and night time receptionist and boy told me later receptionist asked if farang was generous. Diplomatically I did not ask what answer was

Chicken with nuts plate looks yummy. Vote Trump advice generates urge to vomit though ( not related to dish just consumed)

People who are against choice on abortion are not "pro-life". I am pro-life. I support a woman's right to choose, and paid parental leave, and affordable child care options. I support preventing unwanted pregnancies with birth control universally covered through health insurance, public health education in the schools system. The anti-choice zealots are fixated on a fetus and government control of women's bodies, they are not interested in actually solving a problem and supporting the lives of children and women.

Maybe JD Vance suffers from the same character weakness as the defeated former President, he might not be able to say "I was wrong, I am sorry."

sure , those days drinking gin without tonic some people consider extreme form of torture

The surprising thing about the poll numbers currently is that after the Republican National Convention bump, after being a victim of gun violence, Trump is still topping out in the low/mid-40s in approval. No other presidential candidate has failed to crack 50% like the defeated former president. Reagan was at 70%+ after his shooting. I approve of your GIF.

Well, it's definitely too early to say "Trump is Toast" and ring the victory bells. The vice-presidential pick only affects results in that candidate's home state, so Harris would be wise to pick someone from Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania. She'll definitely need at least one of those states. National polls are irrelevant with the electoral college system. What matters is the polls in the swing states, especially the populous ones.

Ice cubes in anus is now considered S&M? I’m sure some members here do that routinely prior to receptive penetrative piercings when lidocaine out of reach.

Wait. I don't get it. Donald Trump is purposefully lying about Project 2025 for political reasons? Huh? Donald Trump never lies! How could this be? And the raping lying crook is not only lying about the future. He is lying about the past. The raping lying crook has been here before, and done this before. Now it will be even more extreme and anti-democratic. From Project 2025 website: These are some of the things the extremists at Heritage take credit for already doing in Trump 1.0 - Trump leaving Paris climate accords. No, there is no climate change. - Trump reducing federal funding for highways. Why do infrastructure instead of cutting taxes for the rich? - Trump defunding and delegitimizing Affordable Care Act implementation and trying to repeal it completely. - Trump defunding any group that provides abortion counseling. - Trump eliminate teen pregnancy prevention grants. (Women should stay at home and have babies, right JD?) - Trump undermining and kill federal safety protections for workers in OSHA. Many of the worst ideas in Trump 1.0 were not adopted because they did not have the votes, especially after the 2018 midterms. The proposals for Trump 2.0 are more extreme.

Yeah there's a few in that 15M pic that could ring my bell any day

Tits? Those qualify as boobs!

Yes, China is just trying to be helpful. As we speak it's trying to rearrange the South China Sea to relieve its neighbors of excess real estate. And its neighbors respond be being downright ungracious!

you wish but i only invite mb for breakfast.

Did you say TONS of friends? Where do you meet these friends? 😳

March closure, The One, new incarnation of Tawan is opened and depending on reports and days seems to be busy or slow

From New Zealand Herald Two bothers locked up in Thailand after a roadside struggle with a police officer are now safely back in New Zealand after spending nearly four months in prison. Hamish and Mattson Day, 36 and 38, were on holiday in Phuket when they were arrested in March and charged with robbery, obstruction of police duty, physical attack against a policeman, driving without a licence and bribery. Details of what happened are scarce although a video recording of the incident, which had been edited, was shared widely across social media. The footage showed Mattson Day grappling with a police officer on the side of the road, while Hamish Day can be seen proffering the officer’s firearm.

Capitalism unleashed. You gotta love it.

As far as I can tell, there's a built-in problem for authoritarian followers. They have to wait until their leader has settled in on what they need to believe. If they head out on their own today, and the leader takes a different direction tomorrow, they've got some serious cleanup to do. Or they may be under the bus for good. Trump is unpredictable on the best of days. With the curves he's been thrown recently (Biden, Harris, Project 2025), he's going to take some time figuring out his targets. Anyone who speaks his mind before then is taking a big risk. I'd be surprised if someone as opinionated as Vance stays out of trouble. I wouldn't be surprised to hear radio silence from Trump's loyal followers until the cue cards are signed off and printed.

since we mentioned Myanmar in this topic, one of the guys that spent the night with in Yangon told me later than as he exiting the hotel, someone from the reception called him and said: "Hey, you look good. Can you leave your contact number? We have customers that like young guys. We can give you a call". They were pretty much trying to pimp him out.😁

Perhaps Trump farts botox?

Gee, he kinda looks like Donny Osmond ? I LOVE Donnie ! 🤣

both

as they say where I was born ' bell sounds but nobody knows from which church". There were various versions of reason for sudden closure circulating but I guess it's better to leave them to whispering, if at all , than put in print. Even from their boys I got two completely different reasons.

Australia is hearing all of this as it happens. The loudest message we are receiving here is about abortion. This is not just a women's issue. Men need to realise that without abortion or Mifepristone then we are headed for perhaps ten million extra men paying child support for the next eighteen or so years. Let that sink in. As a footnote I heard a snarky comment regarding the MAGA morons wearing a maxi pad on their ear. What are they going to do when he has a colonoscopy or a prostate exam.

If you're retiring here why not put your effort into learning the Language? I can recommend https://prolanguage.co.th/ They have schools in Bangkok, Pattaya and Chiang Mai.

there's big difference between being detained and freed shortly after and jailed for 6 years.

⚠ I can attest to this, from personal experience in Jemaa el Fna. Decades ago, but the incident / altercation remains etched in my memory.

Oh, the same like Blanche from 'Golden Girls'

proof that one can be business genius and still idiot

all that fingertipping and picture taking takes all that time but hopefully they move into automation
