I liked that bar (past tense)

I was there about a month or so ago and they asked me if I wanted a stamp or not. I believe this has less to do with the "Miami Cubans" (the hardcore people have been dying off, younger generation doesn't care. I believe he is following directives from his Puppet master, Putin. Cutting back on Cuba was practically the FIRST thing he did when he was in office, not many people noticed. Putin (Russia) has been supporting Cuba for decades, they have forgiven so much debt that it is ridiculous. He considers it he little communist island at the doorstep to the USA. The Cuban people were ecstatic when Obama opened things up , Russia not at all.

The drag show was just PART of the show, they had gogo's and male dancers also. Is the ONLY gay bar in Jakarta and only open certain days....I would go back in a second, had a lot of fun, but I brought someone with me. People tended to stay in their groups, however did get quite a few messages later and the next day from people that said they say me at the club. 1.I have T-Mobile for my cell phone and seems that it doesn't require VPN in places that the apps are blocked....when I connected to Wifi, I needed a VPN. 2. I stayed in South Jakarta, Kunigan, walking distance to the bar (even though I only went 1 night)...was convenient to restaurants, movies and no one seemed to have a problem fining me... 3. I heard no problems at western hotels, I stayed at AirBnb and no problem at all...weird looks from security, but never said anything. 4. Seems like ALL action is on the apps, doesn't seem to be a "cruising" scene...confirmed with everyone I met.

What type of guys are the mares and stallions usually??

I'm just back from Thailand and Vietnam....I saw a few Brazilians advertising from 200-350 usd , considering how cheap those countries are to stay in, they don't have to do many programas to do ok. I'm sure the Asians that crave the Brazilian type don't mind paying, surely a lot easier and cheaper to order in for them rather than to travel to Brazil.

I just clicked o nit, brought me to their FB page... Search for this on Facebook: La Caza Vapor Mérida

you can try this place....is a sauna on the outskirts of town. They close early but once a month do late night parties until 3am or so. https://www.facebook.com/lacazavapor/?__tn__=%2Cd%2CP-R&eid=ARCQtxgot0lFrNOVwiGSjoImqRACAwIE7YdmAzn_-A4_gm0_r2TIDlMn8AkjxE2SX7Cvwl3KoTAwzQ84

Leaving today,as planned....but don't think I'll be coming back, def was a one time thing for me. All of the apps are money boys...which I'm OK with. But they only want to come (like USA escorts) for their one hour, do the deed and leave. Not interested in dinner, drinks, nothing more. And they are asking 50-150 usd, And when I accepted , many never replied again, wtf? Found one nice guy, gay, not looking for money...we had a nice night, but he works so much that he hardly had any free time...with a job and helping the parents at home. His grandfather was in the war and had a different story to tell than the government here likes to portray. Went to the couple of gay bars, walked the party streets.....to put it in perspective (for those that know me). I came with a Litre of rum, I'm leaving with a little more than a 1/2 litre, lol I did hook up every night except the first (was very tired).....but wasn't easy. Forgot to add: Internet sooooo slow. I'm in a decent AirBnb, new construction, close to everything, comfy bed, great a/c $26 usd a night. Food is relatively cheap, money seems to last longer , maybe because I couldn't find one guy that liked to drink...some said yes and in the end they drank 1 beer. Flights are cheap from BKK, so if I did come back, I'd bring someone with me from BKK or someplace they don't need a visa.

Never knew this....going to try it out on my German friends!

If you like Thai food, be sure to try Super Issan, the place on the corner under the neon sign next to the nail/massage place

I forget , have you been to Bali? BKK is good, but knowing the Brasil scene and cost of living...it's mind blowing how some of the boys charge what they do (as well as drink prices, but you're not a drinker).... Then there's always the AMAZING food in Thailand and good massages, that has been my draw recently along with long flights to maintain status with the airlines.

Can order breakfast to be delivered the the room, up until noon (used to be 24 hrs) People seeing who I was with doesn't bother me, I'm just too lazy to get up and go downstairs

2nd that.... the Thailand site doesn't require me to sign in every time

Brasil

SGN has Bacardi at duty free arrivals....18 usd litre

I don't buy from Duty Free at the BKK airport anymore.....I believe it's not original Bacardi. Anyone that knows me, knows that I know my Bacardi......I thought it was a one off so on my next trip I tried again......something is not right about it. Who would believe that at the airport this might happen....but we all know what shouldn't be ....sometimes is in this country, lol

Going to SGN in 2 days.....1st time. I drink Bacardi rum....is it readily available and any idea how much bottled liquor prices is compared to Thailand? Should I get it here (not really cheap either I just paid $27 usd for a 1 litre here in BKK at Foodland....That goes for about 13 usd in most states.) or wait til I get there? I remembered reading here about Indonesian liquor prices and brought my own, thank goodness. A 750L of rum was $75 usd in supermarkets! Thanks

Just arrived in Pattaya and found out that Saturday bars will be closed because of this (or not alcohol sales at least)...and an email from BBB inn says this: Visakha Bucha Day this year is celebrated on Saturday, 18. May 2019. An additional Visakha Bucha Holiday will be on Monday, 20. May 2019. So it will be a long weekend. Buddha was born in India some 2,500 years ago as a rich prince. But he left that life of luxury to seek out wisdom from the wise hermits who lived in woodlands scattered throughout the region at the time. He felt disappointed, however, and instead meditated under a Bodhi tree. There, he is believed to have attained enlightenment at the age of 35 and to have formulated the basic tenets of Buddhism. Later, at age 80, he died. Buddhists believe he then entered the state of nirvana and escaped all suffering, death, and reincarnation. In Thailand, Visakha Bucha Day is a time when the devout visit local temples to make merit, by giving donations and engaging in various rituals. They listen to sermons on Buddha's teachings, meditate, recommit themselves to follow the precepts of Buddhism, and offer food to temple workers. Some set birds or fish free as a means of eliminating negative karma. I googled it and seems like Monday will be normal for alcohol. I have a way of showing up n various countries when things like this are happening......

I usually use ATM's, but I keep a Capital one account (no int'l xfer fees) that I only put money in it as I need it. Because with debit cards, it is YOUR cash that gets tied up in case of fraud (skimmer). I prefer credit cards, but the gogo places that do accept, will charge you the commision their bank charges and then some, smh.

I booked a place on Airbnb for 25 usd a night, great reviews and is a new building closeby to some gay bars..... where you there on business or something?

Making my 1st trip to Vietnam.....suggestions on places to stay without problems of joiners and close to things to do?? Also, where is good to go, bars/saunas/massage??

Anyone know of a laundry place around Silom/suriwong?

Have them come look at your internet!

Hearing names of bars from yrs ago brings back memories.....the boys were more humble, less materialistic. Things I miss are the Old Babylon, late nights after the bars going to the Malaysia coffee shop or the Suriwongse hotel and having all the money boys looking for customers....the apps just aren't the same, I like to see them in person, not photoshopped pics.

There's all types and all price range, normal for the site (That I've paid) is 800 pesos, never paid more than 1000...I guess depends what you're looking for...??
