Back in thailand on 26 Nov for my longest trip so far 🤭 Landed in Suvarnabhumi and was met by lady driver from Nams Taxi to whisk me to Pattaya. Day 1 - checked in at Copa, was happy that the room was ready even tho I arrived before 1pm. Decided to take it easy today cos I was tired from working late. 1st stop, decided to check out Nice Boys, which I have never been to before. As reported in another thread, they are now called boys nighclub. The Nice Boys signboard had been removed. I was not prepared to walk into a scene of two boys being j/o and fondled in the open by two customers. They had about 8-9 boys on stage in jean and trousers which I don't see what is the point of that when they readily dropped their pants for a J/O contest when one of the customer gave a tip 🤣 It was very interesting and I had a cute guy from Myanmar to cum for me but it was undoubtedly one of the seediest bars I have been to. Not sure if I would be back again haha. Drink for customer was 200, boy's drink is 300. For him to j/o and cum is 500. After that, I had a walk around Sunee Plaza. Saw that two other bars apart from Winner are now opened. But they looked quite deserted. one of them (Diamond) only had 1 table with customers and I don't see any boys apart from the server... Ended my night by walking back to boyztown to catch the 11pm show at x-boys. As usual the show was great but it is largely the same as my previous visit. No off tonight cos I wanted to wake up early for trip to koh larn. Day 2 - woke up with a bad headache, so koh larn is out. Went back to sleep and woke up at noon. Thankfully the headache was gone. Went out for lunch and coffee at terminal 21. Decided to do some touristy stuffs and went to Santuary of Truth which was very picturesque in the evening. Had a quick meal at Runway street food and went back to hotel to get ready. Decided to go to Toy Boys to see if my fave from Myanmar is in. Too bad he was not, and I had to settle for another boy from Laos. Apparently this is his first night back after spending some time away back in his hometown. His English was bad and we had to communicate thru Google. But he was sweet and very affectionate albeit abit too clingy for my liking. But the mamasans at toy boys are really shady. After my previous experience, I was more alert to any shenanigans from them. My drink was 240, the boy's drink was 300, off fee is supposed to be 500 and short time is 2000. The mama told me that the boy's tip would be collected upfront which I did not challenged as the boy was sitting there and did not protest, so I tot it was a new policy. But instead of 3040, he first presented me with a bill for 3240. When I questioned him why, he could not answer and quickly gave me a new bill for the right amount. Only when I left, the boy revealed that the mama only gave him 1500 instead of the 2000. And it is not the usual practice for their fee to be collected upfront. So basically the mama cheated the boy out of 500 😑 With mamasans like them, no wonder more of the boys are turning to the apps. I gave the boy another 500 as tips for services well rendered and since we were feeling peckish, had him joined me for supper at my fave korean fried chicken place. I just feel bad for him 😅

I went back to Airbnb condo to chill for few hours then had dinner at Foodland with forum member and our guys. Towards end of dinner, forum member's guy received Line message from friend. Message showed a photo of us in Foodland. Friend and another friend had passed by and saw us. I realise Foodland is a great location to be seen! I suggested we invite the friends for dinner. They said they have eaten so I suggested beer and pool. They said yes and we went to our favourite pool bar to play pool for a while. At 9.15pm I met my favourite waiter Z and we went to Jupiter as he had never been there before. Mamasan got us front row seats since we were getting bottle service. Z picked Johnnie Walker red. 4300 baht. He says in his bar it's only 2700 baht. I replied its alright. Just enjoy yourself tonight. And enjoyed he did. He liked Poppy the singer, the well choreographed show and the runway walk by the Jupiter models. My regular Jupiter guy wasn't working otherwise I would have invited him to join us. To be frank, Jupiter hasn't changed much in past 2 years - same performances and routines. The predictability made me bored. At least Moonlight refreshes and updates its show every year. Vietnamese waiter with number tag 001 comes to speak to me, "I know who your boy. Freshboys bar. Number 25." Oh no, I have become famous in the Vietnamese community! Z recognises a waiter whom he used to work with at Banana. Twink with number tag 008. They chat and Z introduces me to twink waiter who I discover is half Thai and half Malaysian. Born in Malaysia. "Penang?" I asked which state of Malaysia he comes from. "Yes, how you guess?" Just lucky guess. I spoke to him in Chinese for a while. Cute fellow. I will return to Jupiter just for him. In terms of models, there are several new faces. The bar is half full on a Wednesday night. Z and I stayed till midnight when the models complete their final runway walk for the night. There were 4 runway walks - two in jeans, one in red underwear and another in white shorts. Out of the 20 models at final runway walk, only half of them had number tags. I asked cute twink waiter to keep my bottle of Johnnie Walker then tipped him and mamasans as Z and I made our way out.

We exited soi 4 and turned right towards Silom Edge where Beef had relocated to. The lift took us to 9th floor. Not much of a queue to go inside (just 5 persons ahead of us) unlike the long queue when Beef was at soi 4. Probably because bigger venue. New location has outdoor seating for those who want to take a break from the music inside. Price was 600 baht with 2 free drinks of your choice plus 1 special free cocktail of the night comprising gin and tonic in a cute little glass. No cash accepted though so need to bring credit card or pay through phone. The staff in Beef (DJs and bartenders) were beefy but only half the customers were beefy. There were many regular sized guys such as Z and me. In terms of age, mostly below 40. Locals and many Filipinos (presumably working in Bangkok) made up 2/3 of crowd while the rest were tourists. Wide range of music from Western pop to Thai to K-Pop. Lots of dancing and jumping around and lots of drunk fellas. Z and I enjoyed ourselves a lot. We left 15 minutes before closing time of 2am.

Day 3 - woke up earlier today, had an early brunch and went on my way to catch the ferry to Koh Larn. The ferry was just 30 baht which was a bargain. I couldn't go to the island on my previous trip due to crappy weather. Thankfully, today was a beautiful day and the skies were clear and blue. I'm very happy that I managed to make the trip this time as Koh Larn was gorgeous. The sea was a beautiful shade of turquoise, the sand was fine and soft and to top it off, there were some cuties to ogle at 🤭 Caught the last ferry back from tawaen beach at 5pm and was soon back in Pattaya. Had some time to kill after a quick shower and decided to head over to Nice Boys as it was still too early. A tall Thai boy with a lean muscular swimmer body caught my attention once I stepped in. He had the exact body type that I like 🤤 Invited him for a drink and to cum for me. He began to sweat alot as he j/o even tho the aircon was quite cold...the sight of his sweat dripping down his chest was simply the stuffs of my fantasies...I almost came then. For all his effort, I gave him an extra tip and he thank me by planting kisses on my face 🤭 Next stop was Big Tool at walking street. It was advertised as free entry although the barker kept checking with me all the way until the entrance to the show if I want to see the man show and not lady show...I mean how many times u have to ask that yes, I wanna see big tool, not loose pussies 🙄 The cheapest items were soft drinks at 280 bt. They had a menu including a private dance for 2000 bt and other vague items like tipsy boy at 600bt or exciting at 3000 bt whatever those meant. Anyway, NO big tools were shown. They did not even stripped down to undies... There were some ass flashes at most and a couple of guys pulling down their waistband to tease. A couple of them went among the audience to let them have a feel of their muscles. One particularly daring guy grabbed my hand to feel his butt and crotch thru his pants but that was all. The minimum tip expected is 100bt. The last stop of the day was at Toy Boys again. Decided to off a handsome Cambodian this time. The same mama tried to pull off the same trick to get me to pay the tip upfront. I told him I don't have enough cash with me and will pay him in my room. Did not expect the reception at copa to request for the boy's passport this time. Previously, we just waltz in straight and nobody batted an eye. The boy was just satisfactory and we finished our business relatively fast...perhaps I spent too much time frolicking in the sea today 😅 The reception gave me a call to check if everything was alright before releasing the passport back to the boy...i guess it's for the guest safety but I was still surprised. Sorry for the long post but it was a very busy day for me 🤭

I'm glad to inform you I have indeed visited Koh Larn today 🤭 I love the sand on the beaches, it's really soft and powdery ☺️

I got SUPER excited because you may have been the FIRST visitor to go over to Koh Larn - at least since I have been here now 2 years. and then my excitement was deflated. I was hoping to hear if you would have agreed to the beauty of Koh Larn - especially the nice powder white sand Tien beach with the turquoise blue transparent water - unlike the coffee brown water back in Pattaya / Jomtien. Perhaps in your next trip you might go to Koh Larn ? Maybe another visitor to Pattaya will make the adventure to wonderful Koh Larn (make sure to cross over the island to the non-Pattaya facing side as that is the MOST beautiful part of Koh Larn). Great trip report by the way and thanks :>))

Never think your too old I went to DJ station in Bangkok first time I had a ball 🎈🎊🎊and people young Asian made me feel welcome

The cinemas are currently showing The Lord of the Rings series of films as part of 20th anniversary. Perfect way to kill 4 hours in daytime. I hopped on a bus from Silom to Centralworld and watched the 12pm showing of part 1 of the series- The Fellowship of The Ring. Ticket cost 190 baht - cheap entertainment in airconditioned comfort for lazy afternoon. I dozed off twice at the talky parts of the movie. When the movie ended at 4pm, I did some shopping before taking bus back to Silom. I can repeat this same routine for parts 2 and 3 of the series on other days. Forum members in my close group admonished me, saying I could have gone for 2 massages in that 4 hours. Thinking about it, watching a movie and having a massage has certain similarities - you stay inert, your mind switches off, you fall asleep and the end is always climatic! But of koz a massage doesn't cost 190 baht!

When I was in Pattaya, I was told Bolt was best. Indeed they were very good, and cheap. I was told that in Bangkok Grab was better, and I had no problems.

From the.Nation Thai Airways on Tuesday announced an ambitious business strategy aimed at expanding its market share to 35% by 2029. The announcement by CEO Chai Eamsiri at a press conference on Tuesday follows the airline's recent progress in its rehabilitation plan and ongoing capital restructuring efforts, coinciding with the pricing of newly issued ordinary shares. Highlighting the global aviation industry's projected growth, Chai emphasised the opportune moment for Thai Airways to enhance its operations. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasts the aviation market will reach $US 996 billion by the year-end and more than double to over $US 1.99 trillion by 2043. The IATA report estimates that passenger numbers will surge to 8.6 billion by 2043, with the Asia-Pacific region driving the majority of growth at a rate of 5.3%. Key to the airline's strategy is expanding its network for both short and long-haul flights, creating a comprehensive connection system primarily focusing on the Asia-Pacific and Southeast Asian regions. Following a significant 40% market share loss in 2013 that reduced its current share to 26%, Thai Airways aims to reclaim ground by targeting a 35% market share by 2029, the CEO said. By the year-end, the airline plans to operate a fleet of 77 aircraft serving 62 global destinations.

Polly wants crack but weed will do? Seriously, it’s perico (parakeet), high on coke and consequently talkative. A little more obscure than snowflake, perhaps because autumn leaves followed by snow references might suggest climate. Since parche suggests hanging out I’d interpret the ad as PNP (party & play, typically involving drugs), but I’d add AYOR.

I think I'm still too inexperienced and is an easy target for the mamas. But hopefully this will serve as a warning for others who might be visiting pattaya for the first time...

I usually focus more on 'yari-zome' - first fuck of the year in Japan.

Because of my gaijin (farang) face, nobody in Japan thought I could understand Japanese so I heard a few comments about me on the train (usually late at night) about gaijin having big cocks! Lol When travelling in Europe I often latch on to Japanese language tours. The only time I got caught out was when the tour guide told a joke and I laughed. I wish I could speak Thai because I'd love to know if the guys are saying something -good or bad -about me.

That night made my way to Fresh Boys for number 41 who was not there for the rest of my trip. That is not to say I did not have fun. I made another visit to Arena with a different guy with more muscle and enjoyed it a lot! How is it arena gets 3.5 stars? OK some random thoughts from my trip. I have mixed feelings from my Bangkok Hotel, Centre Pointe Silom. Nice hotel with good views and an amazing staff. It is a bit far from the action and for some reason every gay site I tried was blocked as Porn including this site. Bolt, good prices but often hard to find cars which announced arrived but could be anywhere in a few block radius. Twice a different car then listed on the app. At the airport they were on different levels then app stated which was a challenge. I had planned to use them to get to Bangkok which proved imposible so I took the bus. In all a really good trip.

Sunday I had intended to do some sightseeing but got up later than intended and the sky looked pretty dark, so I stayed in the hotel. Eventually it did rain heavily but I could probably have gone out and got back before it did. Before dusk the weather cleared up and I did get to see the Giant Buddha at Wat Pho so I feel like I ticked off something cultural. Sunday night I had decided I liked the sound of the foam party at Sauna Mania. Again this was my first time there and I had heard there could be long queues and arrived in plenty of time, to no queue at all, although there were plenty of guys in there. This was a much more tourist crowd than at 39 Underground certainly, with plenty of westerners of all ages, as well as a lot of younger Chinese guys. The foam party was due to start at 8.30pm and whilst I did a bit of a wander around the maze, mostly I sat around waiting for the main event to start, in the end it started well after 9pm. When entry was allowed to the top level, there was a big crowd of eager naked Chinese men all lining up to go upstairs with seemingly identical bottoms - like clones. It was quite a sight! Upstairs I was expecting the house boys to put on a bit of a show, but they seemed just to spread themselves out and await molesting by the hoards of horny Chinese lads. It was disappointingly dark, crowded and the foam just served to make things a bit slippery and not particularly sexy as I had imagined. The crowd was clearly very horned up and after a short while a good looking Chinese boy kind of latched on to me and against my original intentions to stay and observe the foam party, I willingly let him drag me downstairs to a cabin for some more private play. He was a great kisser but didn't seem that experienced and language was a big barrier. He clearly wanted to be fucked but his tight little arse didn't seem to immediately yield. He didn't make any attempt to guide me in and I didn't want to force it so we continued to play more lightly and I came on his chest and we went our separate ways - me to the shower and he marched straight into the steam room! I kind of felt I had had enough at that point and decided not to head upstairs to explore what the end of the foam party looked like.

Seems ages ago now but will add to the trip report from my Bangkok visit, the weekend before last. Saturday I was unsure what to do, and was pretty tired after a busy week of meetings and some exercise at 39 Underground the night before. I decided to spend the afternoon at Maxwell Onsen with a view of relaxing and expecting that I may have to go elsewhere for a happy ending. I arrived mid afternoon and having been to a similar, if more old fashioned, place in Seoul and also having watched a Youtube video, I had some idea what to expect. I loved the upmarket and modern look of the place and it was all very clean. However I was taken aback by the crowd - almost universally young and slim/fit. I don't think I have ever been to a sauna with such a demographic. I was at least 20 years older and at least 20kg heavier than virtually everyone there and naturally they paid me no attention. I sat in the medium temperature bath for some time just relaxing and observing - there was clearly a lot of traffic in and out of the steam room. I did poke my head in the dark steam room at one point - and could hear someone having fun, but couldn't really see and I saw myself as having no chance of action given the young, fit crowd. I enjoyed sitting and sweating away in the well lit dry sauna. At one point two guys did start to touch each other and the young twink next to them watched on with considerable interest. The door started to open and they immediately broke apart as if nothing had happened. After a few minutes, they left together, closely followed by the young twink. You get a meal included with the entry to Maxwell so I decided to take a break and have some refreshments. You get changed into a robe and shorts. The food was good and there were a few older and larger guys hanging around in the food area. I took a walk up to the rest area on the top floor and found it empty. There were some people resting and scrolling on their phones in the meditation area. At around 5pm, I decided to go back down into the bath area. It was a little busier and the crowd was more a little diverse in terms of age and size. After another soak and short spell in the dry sauna, I thought I would once again have a little look in the steam room. This time it was fully crammed full of people. As my eyes adjusted I realised just how small a room it actually was. Surprisingly, someone then took a bit of an interest in me and led me slowly through the crowd towards the back of the room for some fun and I must admit it wasn't that long before I came. I went back to my hotel fully intending to go out later to Silom either for a massage or a show, but didn't have the energy to make it out again that night. I slept well.

From Bangkok Post A 12-year-old boy received public praise for rescuing a 17-year-old girl who jumped into the Chao Phraya River from a Bangkok bridge on Friday night. The incident occurred at 7.13pm in Bang Kho Laem district of the capital. The boy, identified as Thanapat Bunkerd or Klao, told media he and his friends were fishing on the bridge and noticed his line had become entangled with something below. He climbed down to fix it and suddenly heard a loud splash. He then saw a girl, identified only as Natthamon, crying for help. Among the other boys, Klao was the only one who could swim, so he decided to jump in and rescue her. Klao swam quite far to reach her, he said. While in the water, the girl told him she had wanted to die but had now changed her mind. Once out of the river, she was conscious but exhausted. Police and rescuers from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation arrived at the scene shortly afterwards and brought the girl to Charoenkrung Pracharak hospital for a check-up. Klao said he was afraid of drowning too, but felt compelled to help. “Don’t do this again because if I wasn’t there, no one would have been able to help you,” he said to the girl. Klao’s mother, Suppawan Thaitanatrob, 31, told the media that she was proud of her son’s bravery in helping others. However, she was also worried about his safety since he was just a young boy. The young hero is studying in third grade at Wat Chan Nai school. His story was widely shared on social media, with many saying he was very brave and worthy of respect. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2908345/boy-12-praised-for-rescuing-drowning-girl-17-in-bangkok

Visited Lisbon for 3 weekdays. Stayed at the gay-friendly Late Birds hotel. [See below the "nasty" menu placed by the minibar.] It's within walking distance to the 2 venues. Also, nice feeling 2 c guests and staff grindr profiles within 50 mtrs. Notwithstanding gays, it's a good hotel. Was offered sex-massage in grindr by 5 good looking guys, 60-80 eurs. Didnt follow up on them. Had one in-room for-free encounter with a 21 y/o, rather boring. Went two nights to Trobeta Bath, a squeaky clean spacious fully-equipped efficient and friendly gay sauna. Once at about 20:30, once at 22:30; both times there were 25-30 men inside, young and older. [If u ask at the enterance b4 u pay, they tell u the exact number.] 20 euro entrance; 16 on Mondays. Didnt c a lot of action going on. Dark maze mostly deserted; only twice heard moans from cabins; sling corner - unused. Was sucked off once. The other night, a solitary mascular 30sh local - courted by one and all - 4 some reason chose 2 give me a vigorous HJ, and then thanked me (-: BTW, all GHs were boarded up. Forgot 2 ask why. Strange... XXL Lisbon Club is a small bar; porn space, 3 cabins, and a wooden balcony above the bar with sitting places for 7 guys and some more cabins. There were about eight 30sh-40sh guys when I was there, 6 of which were obviously well aquainted. They were sitting naked on the balcony, and the only older guy was sucking them or offering his ass 4 fucking - to no avail. There was a distinct non erotic-sexual vibe 2 the place, and I departed after 20 mnts. Both places said that weekends r MUCH busier.

Day 1 He was losing the battle. Talking to him daily by video call on WhatsApp for last 3 weeks I could see him getting weaker and weaker and our talk was shorter and shorter. Even if he kept his mental faculties intact he was losing strength inch by inch. His last words I heard were ‘ thank you ‘ presumably unfinished ‘ thank you for a call “ . And then next morning message from wife “ he left us last night”. Even if I’m quarter of world away I knew that I need attend his funeral , simply because I felt I owe it to him and his family I was so close to for that last 44 years. Fact that we were the same age , to a month, was kind of warning signal ‘ you are somewhere in the line man”. Is not easy to get last minute decent prized flight but Guardian Angel was on my side I found one although requiring stay there over one week past funeral date, option I was not keen on for few reasons. Then moment of enlightenment came ‘ see if you can find something to Bangkok for that week”. After all I was to be half way there already. An hour later I had a ticket for some obscure airlines, Pegasus and Air Arabia, carry on up to 6 kg and food for purchase only but price was right. And since I travel light anyways it was not obstacle. That way instead of January of 2027 or perhaps even 2029 I found myself landing in Swampy mid Nov of 2024 via Istanbul and Sharjah. For those who are curious about those dates -my August trip was partially disappointing and I did not have any immediate plans to return any time soon as result. But lets be honest , if one is stressed and want to get away from it all while looking for calm and consolation there’s no better place than Bangkok urban jungle , at least not for me. Arrival at 4.30 pm was very convenient, immigration was a breeze, weather quite pleasant and rates in the exchange kiosks by the train station quite digestible. It was already darkening when I walked from Sala Daeng to Red Planet, my hotel for first 2 nights. Budget option but recent price raises of BKK hotels were substantial so I decided to look for cheaper options this time. Room was on smaller side but had all amenities one needs, AC and safety deposit box were working , everything was clean and bathroom was of proper size, one can say almost as big as room itself. Only thing in short supply is place to hang your stuff , only 3 hangers provided but since I travel light , I managed anyways. Best thing about Red Planet is discretion. Reception is on 2nd floor so it means when coming to the room alone or with somebody one bypasses it entirely, the same like in Raya. No breakfast provided but on ground floor facing street there’s 7/11 and walk to Foodland is not that long. At 9 to Foodland to eat something , soon reader showed up since I reported to him my arrival from the train . After sharing news we parted ways and I went to Hot Male but S was sitting with somebody who looked is serious about offing him but was nice enough to allow him to come and shake hands. Seeing that I don’t source any consolation there after finishing my beer I went to Jupiter , at mouth of soi enthusiastically greeted by Guido, owner of G’Bangkok restaurant and both barkers from Banana across the soi. At Jupiter I wanted to check one guy strongly recommended to me by one of our members and I spotted him immediately , impressive indeed and 127.48 % of my type. Soon there was walkabout so I gave him red note but during second walk he did not even look at my side so I abandoned an idea of approaching him tonight. I have my rules but it needs to be said , he impressed me indeed so no hard feelings. Modern technology helped as my phone buzzed. Hoping it was S I went to bathroom and indeed it was him saying he is free already. Soon we met in Foodland and after a meal we walked to Red Planet. On corner of soi 6 K from Tawan eyed me and asked for a tip so I gave red note to him resolving at the same time to skip that bar this trip entirely. S is rock sold quality and performance so indeed he was somebody I needed to be with after such sad last several days. He noticed I’m in different mood and tried to be as romantic and gentle as he could and it worked. This trip started well, very well I’d say.

Goodness gracious me!

I know a lot of members don't like this....I prefer it no matter where I am. They know, we know ,who they really are, not some stage or made up name in case something goes wrong....

Hereby disproving the old adage, “there’s no such thing as a stupid question.”

Yes, the boy was disappointed but I must say he was still very professional about...if that is the correct way to term it 😅

They will need to improve their service!

I was there on opening day, knew Edgar and Louis well. Junior had Estacao previously and at the same time they opened 202, who was in that sauna partnership with him, I never asked. But point is only Junior these days and it was the 3 when it started. No secret he was a sauna guy back then.....or where he makes the bulk of his money now. I used to get VIP during the early years at both of his and at 117, because we were active in attracting gringos to go there from activity on the hooboy page and we had organized 3 "Soiree" parties and Junior attended 1 or 2 on the rooftop of the Atlantico. This was around 2003-2004 , My 1st trip was to Roger's in 1999 and the gay scene for clubs in Botofogo was just coming to an end and the only info available was Damron's or Spartacus which might be outdated by the time you got there. This pic is from 10/03 and was the 2nd party, 1st party was 4/03 and last 3/04... then there were disagreements about organizing the parties and who was paying and who wasn't, if you could bring a boy , blah, blah, blah....and that was that. The 1st 2 were great then it wasn't, lol Then all the great nights at Corujina's after the saunas and before Le Boy or Encontros sp? Before the apps, guys from the saunas or some freelancers would hang out across the street looking for customers or an invite to come over and eat.

Guys are either asleep or working at day job at 12pm so poor me alone.

that was 50 years ago !

Sometimes, just to kill time, I would (discreetly) point at a customer, who's sitting in the same bar or just passing by, and ask the boy(s) what "the store" makes of him. If boys know you for a long time and trust you, they can be honest and sometimes very specific in their opinions, which, I believe, are shared by many others in the same bar. Here are some snippets I collected yesterday in Pattaya. "That customer's all smiling but boys don't like to sit with him because he's very demanding." "That one is worse. He once opened a bottle and forced me to drink a lot to get me drunk so that he can deep-kiss me. I don't kiss customers in the store and I hate it. He also asked me go hotel with him. I no go." [the last part was made originally in English] "He's Japanese, nice and generous. Come here a lot, usually sit with many boys at the same time. Also take us out to parties and restaurants without doing anything nasty to us." "He has a handsome face but he's not clean. Body odor, bad breath. I don't want to go with customers who are not clean." "He's nice and gentle. Most of the times, he just want to talk and us to listen. No groping." "He once asked D. to suck him for 40 minutes first. Yes, he said FORTY MINUTES. Then had sex for 2 hours in total and he gave only 1000 Baht". [I did manage to talk to D. about this particular case and saw his horrified look at the mention of the customer. He's probably scarred for life.]

In my experience, the guys have never turned to me and criticised a customer sitting in the bar. However, they have told me of various unhappy experiences they've had over the years with farang.

I only stayed there for a few days during a trip through the coffee region from Bogota to Medellin. I stayed in an airBnB close to that hotel (near the big shopping center). It is one of the better neighborhoods to stay in. Grindr was popular and the quoted prices were the lowest in the coffee region (50mil - 100mil). Actually everything was cheap in Ibague (restaurants, accommodation, ..). 'Very safe': in my perception and confirmed by a grindr contact, Ibague was one of the less safe cities in the coffee region, compared to Pereira, Manizales, Armenia,... but a lot safer than almost all other cities in Colombia. As long as you take your precautions (no walking at night, keep an eye on belongings during the day, keep your rolex at home..), you will be fine. The whole coffee region is beautiful and a paradise if you like hiking and nature. I can see the appeal for retirement, but I would also visit the other cities in the region.

March means to move in a direct and purposeful manner. Consequently most of us must find ourselves doing so as we walk toward venues that have the promise of sex. Maybe that’s why military types appeal to many of us.

My statistic shows what LGBT-travels to TH rising not so drastically. Maybe 5-7%. Maybe because of strong Baht. LGBT-travels to Vietnam are booming . More than 50%. 2024 is first year from 15 years on the market, when Siamroads has the same number of guides in TH and VN.

This can easily be arranged.

May we all be as brave when confronted by crisis.

I visited after receiving Line info about the masseurs (all hot fit guys) and choose Mr Tom, a top guy from Laos. Opted for the one and a half hour oil massage. It started with a ten minute Thai massage then proceeded to the oil massage. It was obvious that the guy knew what he was doing and the massage was one of the best that I have ever received in Bkk. High praise indeed. It was excellent, especially after a really disappointing session at Arena earlier in the week (lacklustre massage and the ‘top’ guy I had chosen after specifically asking if he was turned out to be anything top at all!). Extras were on offer and were gladly taken! In all, an excellent experience if on the pricey side when tip taken into account.

YES - Halelujah!!! I agree 200% In my opinion, Thailand has a responsibility to protect them from a humanitarian point of view. If they deport them back to Myanmar they are often forced into the military to fight in this senseless war - which can become a death sentence for them.

Given how many people are dying in the violence inflicted on the population by the fake government there, these Myanmar nationals should be given asylum in Thailand and treated decently.

Day 8 , last After my guy left I had good sleep till late morning , them went for breakfast and returned to the room to pack up. Earlier I asked about the option of late check out as my plane leaves at 7.pm but I was told by lady who seemed to be in charge that there are no rooms available. Considering that other guy , manning laptop in the lobby seemed sympathetic to my query and I notice strange grimaces sent his way by said lady I think they simply did not want to bother. No problem although it would be nice to have room till , say 4 pm. I found solution, left my bag on reception and went to soi 6 to have massage at Maha with diminutive hunk there , Nut. Great , no rush session. At 3 pm my last chicken and rice soup at Foodland, minutes later reader joined me for latest gossip and he walked me to mouth of Convent Road here we had our good bye hugs hoping to see each other very soon. Train to the airport was very crowded but no surprise there considering it was peak hours. At 7 something pm my Gulf Air A321 took off on its way to Bahrain with me inside waving good bye to Thailand for 36th time. In sharp contrast with September this time I was leaving with bleeding heart. Considering what brought me there I was in need of something uplifting and this time guys delivered , one after another. Even bump mid trip with underdelivering Banana guy, mostly on time , was not that painful. Who would think that my best guy will be from Jupiter ? Even now , week later I’m kind of amazed . And I still have my sights on another hunk from there, one who mildly pissed me by not confirming his tips with smile but I’m not giving up on him for two reasons, first he was recommended to me by forum friend I absolutely trust judgment of, second because he looked much better in flesh than on pics and clips I saw of him before .So it looks for my next trip whenever it will be I have my homework already assigned , I’m not giving up that easy. I’m glad that Handsome Cambodian with whom I have long history of offs , not all of the happy – once he dumped me after I complained about his constant surfing on his phone , looked happy and somewhat settled. I have soft spot for him because of his troubled , early orphaned life. Chai, new discovery in Arena was joyful and I cherish sense of achievement of finally being engaged with #10 from Moonlight and #31 from Banana I pursued for some time. Very uplifting fact that all bar one of boys I known previously bar that I engaged this trip performed , I must say even better than previously. No games , no stupid excuses ( I overlook last night because I have feeling it was not malicious ). Only think I feel sense of missing was another meeting with Y from Moonlight but simply our schedules did not align. Those familiar with my report perhaps notice one , so far always present , thing missing - absence of visit to Tawan. Yes it was on design. I still love bar and it’s boys dearly but this time I was in no mood to partake in their constant ‘ tip, tip, tip “ requests. Even when I had chance meeting with K on that famous corner , he immediately raised his shirt and asked for ‘ tip for eating “. I wish them well and hope to visit in the future but this time I gave them a miss and I ‘m glad I did. How far I went from days when my trips were on Tawan monodiet ? But not my fault. Life is strange thing. One week you attend your best , lifelong, friend’s funeral, next you have week of your life and one of best of my many trips to LOS. I love you life !

Day 5 In the morning unpleasant surprise – no water in the room. Luckily by time I finished breakfast and strolled around the area water returned so I managed to spruce myself up , pack little I had , left luggage on reception and at noon reported at Arena for massage session with Nuk . Muscular veteran there, it’s probably 7 or 8 years since I had my first session with him although he is not that old- started his career there early. Great massage, again with full coverage, he is professional in what he does , that’s sure thing. Than walk to Silom Convent Garden, place I discovered in August located right beside Sauna Mania in soi Phipat. Room a was available , lots of storage space and at least 20 hangers in the closed, microwave , even kitchen utensils but one substantial item absent – safety deposit box. I guess cheap rates mean something. Did some shopping at 7/11 at end of the soi and at 4 pm welcomed N, freelance masseur. Since I was just massaged we resolved to survey stamp collection instead. Great session , it was not our first meeting but today he seemed more active and more clingy than before. Absolute gem so my lucky streak continues. Rest of afternoon and early evening I spent in the room catching with forum , Line and e-mails. E-miel returned from his China trip so we agreed to meet in soi 4 at 9.15 pm . We never meet before. Waiting for him in mouth of soi 4 I was accosted by Vietnamese looking freelancer, handsome face but very skinny. Fortunately as soon as I told him I’m waiting for my boyfriend gentleman beaming smile in my direction showed up and it was emiel indeed. Nice conversation over beer in Banana outside. I was shocked to discover that he never went to Moonlight but somehow we decided to check Jupiter instead. It was Wednesday and at 10 pm Jupiter was surprisingly empty . We got front row seats , usually reserved for visiting big tippers with pussies but for lack of those we got invited to seat there. Moment of arrival was great as first walkabout started soon. I tipped again very hunky performer recommended to me by one of our member and again , the same like few days ago, no acknowledging smile when he was across the scene on other side. I know I should pursue him because of his looks but other half of me says , give yourself a break and save your money. Issue to be solved next trip I guess. Then one of performers looked familiar. I was pretty sure I saw him among crew at Sabaidee Spa in Dec 2021, then one of my friends engaged him and got his Line which he shared with me and we even talk about meeting but couldn’t find agreeable time. Luckily for all those years I kept his Line. Not sure he is the guy , lets call him T , I slipped red note into his hand when he was passing by and few seconds later , when he was on another side of the scene I was rewarded with broad smile , rarity in Jupiter. Then we watched show and when at midnight was time to make moves I decide to invite my guy for a drink. Good sign was , he was clearly happy and reason was explained by mamas an- it was his 1st day in the bar today. Then I pulled my phone , showed him profile in question and yes, he confirmed it’s his. Finally , after 4 years I had chance to hug such dreamed about hunk. Emile in meantime did not waste time and invited one of boys for a drink as well. It needs to be said that at that time, post show , mood in the bar improved , sober , disinterested looks are gone and boys are behaving normally, friendly smiles , clicking glasses etc. Neither emiel nor myself did not waste time, I asked my guy about going with me , he sounded enthusiastic , no wonder , first day and off already, I’d be too. Soon two sets of us left bar. Since I have habit of feeding my overnighters I asked him if he is hungry. He was and modestly suggested Foodland – good sign and there , another good sign , he settled for ordinary rice with vegetables, nothing fancy so bill for two of us was not even 200. It's a bit of walk along Convent to hotel and only there I asked about Long Time , to which he agreed , I’d say matter of-factly. Quoted me hair rising price but still much less than I expected to hear so I agreed as it would be stupid to let such a chance to pass by over 1 or 2 thousands. Great body, great personality, good English, active and patient, I’d even say caring , whatever good can be said about ones off – he ticked all boxes. Even when we waked up and it was 11 am he did not make any move indicating he is in rush to leave like he knew what is my pet peeve. I expected many things in life – to win lottery big , to become famous politician, scientist , movie star, pope and even best street cleaner in whole Bangkok but I never thought I will live long enough to say that my best off of the whole trip will be from Jupiter. It was never even close possibility but here I am !

Visited the moveable feast otherwise known as Phoenix Masssage at its new yet old home on Inthamara 25 last evening. Found at least a dozen guys (most appeared from Laos and Myanmar) gathered around pool table or lounging around in the reception area. The manager recognized me from my visit to Lat Phrao location. He asked me if I had made booking and I replied no and showed him photo of guy I had in mind from his recent LINE feed. He called out the guy’s name who came over, beamed a smile in my direction as boss told him what room to use. He turned out to be Lao and 23. Manager said the fee was 199 baht because promotion rate was still in effect and then showed me card with other price information. The normal one-hour rate of 700 is steepest in Saphan Kwai area, and about 300 more than the nearby KK and Home Spa. The 1200 tip, however, is on par with what I usually end up giving to masseurs who provide satisfactory service. We were soon on way to fourth floor and a fairly spacious room with massage table, AC and shower. The shower tiles were in good condition and room was clean. My guy stripped down immediately and invited me to join him for shower. He proceeded to thoroughly wash my private parts in almost a ritualistic manner that left little doubt that they’d play a role in rites that were to follow. Btw, shower is generous size. Although he had no English we managed quite nicely to find our way through the hour. As was the case in my initial visit at Lat Phrao, this is indeed a “full service” shop where customer satisfaction rates high. Guess you might say it as close as you’re likely to find to sure thing. After another washing after, I left with bottle of water and happy memories. I recognized the manager of one of the larger SK shops talking with shop manager as I left. Would I make a repeat visit? Yes. This shop differs from most of the competition because it doesn’t rely on free agents who circulate through multiple shops. If it can keep its cadre and service level high, it may survive this competitive environment. Only time will tell.

On merit of OP question I must confess that number of people I tell about mu Thai and other exotic trips is very limited and sometimes even my close friends and even closer family members dont know where I actually am. Upon leaving home I always leave in my desk sealed envelope with note " open if I don't return by ( date usually 2 days after my expected arrival)". There are all details of my flights and accommodation ( but nothing about offs I'm dreaming about). Reasons for such discretion are two, lesser being that is nobody's business where I go and what I do there, which by the way is disease those days, as we are swamped by reports on media what people were doing whole days. Main reason for discretion has nothing to do with sinister side of vacation and I owe it to my classmate who told me that many people who for this or that reason can't or don't want to travel my consider it hurtful boasting about somebody's luck in life so I better keep quiet and I got thet argument. Back in 2001 I lost my job right after returning from Cambodia and to this day some people I worked then with claim that it was out of jealousy. Considering fact that parting terms were rapidly settled as dismissal without the cause with substantial financial benefits to me adds to credibility of such suspicion.

Typically it's X-No can do Triangle - maybe can do. (often supposedly 'learning') Circle - can do Double circle - good at this. (maybe likes it too).

This year I have visited Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Taiwan, Japan, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. All my info is recent as of 6 months. If you see someone you find hot on Grindr in Vietnam, offer them money and see what happens. 😉

If you ever stand there looking confused, lost or puzzled, just wait. Before too long you'll be surrounded by locals eager to help. It's the way things work in Japan.

Everywhere is located near the metro. Have you never seen a Tokyo subway map? 🤣 PS If you need to get cash from an ATM, the 7Bank ones inside 7-11 stores don't charge for using foreign cards.

I'm in Tokyo now. Thanks to all these valuable tips, I had fun this evening. Used "Independence" as recommended. You can just send an email. No need to use the elaborate form. The location was not on a back alley, but just about twenty yards from the train station exit on the street that runs parallel to the train route. Otherwise, Draden's account above of his experience with Independence was identical to mine. . I took the ¥ 18,000 option ($115 thanks to the very weak yen) for a one-hour "swap": 30 minutes with one young man, then 30 minutes with a second one. The price is all inclusive and covers the room and all fees. No extra tip is expected. Both guys were good at kissing and sucking. Both were good bottoms, although one was small and extremely tight. One looked like his photo. However, the second guy was 6' and looked nothing like the 5'9" Dylan I'd picked, but he did speak fairly good English as was claimed for Dylan. And he was enthusiastic and talented. I was erroneously thinking that the cost in Tokyo was wildly higher than the cost in São Paulo. But on reflection, that is not true. At Lagoa my total for the entry fee, two rooms, and two garotos could easily be 600 reals ($116, almost exactly the same price I paid in Japan this evening)! Of course, in Brazil we get to do more preliminary screening — but that does not always guarantee the ace performances I got tonight in Japan. I still prefer Brasileiros and their saunas, but I'm happily surprised that my days in Tokyo will include some good company in bed.

I recently used Independence. The young man (20) was just as described on the website. There site has good search features. I gave Independence my top 3 choices from their site and my first choice was available. Their communication was good. Reservation was all done via email, arrangements make to meed outside a metro station. I was 5 minutes early and he was 7 minutes late. But that was not a big problem. He met me, and we walked about a block to the place. I paid him and he took the money downstairs and was back in a minute. He did not speak any English, other to day I was "Big". (language was not a problem, we knew what we were there for). Im just average by US standards. We got undressed and showered , that was a nice way to start. Then the fun started. He was very satisfying, like to kiss, suck and topped me . All in all money well spent. I find it amazing how many of these establishments there are and so many boys available . Not to here in Dallas, probably a good thing, saves money. lol.

I used them before. I contacted them on LINE and the boy met me at a 7-Eleven close to the station. A few things this is not my personal favorite. 1. Their studio is not the best I have visited. It is in fact very run down. 2. I asked for insertion in my LINE. They didn't mention it costs extra yen until I confirm with the boy when we were in the studio. 3. You cannot see the face, so I picked someone based on the body type. It ended up the guy is not really my type. Although sex was fine, but I think there are better alternatives. You do have an option to ask the manager to meet up and show you pictures for yen 2000. My understanding is that they don't have an office, so you will have to meet the manager at a Starbucks or something. Have fun.

You don't tip in Japan.
