How long you going for? 2 places I've liked alot, are not as close as Tarntawan.... but not far from the action maybe 50 baht by taxi or Uber http://serenity.co.th/ http://www.sanctuaryhousebkk.com/ these are nice places and have good prices for a month rental

Rent a private apartment, even though hotels are allowing you to register a Cuban.... not sure what the limit or number of times is...plus apartments are cheaper. Don't throw money at the guys you meet, they have limited contact with the outside world and the "normal" price is $20. But because of some foreigners paying 80, 100 or more... the guys expectations have risen....stick firmly with $20, they'll do it. a beautiful apt near the gay scene is at www.myproudhavana.com the infanta location. Owner is gay and by far the nicest apt's for the price I have seen in Havana. But he claims to be mainly booked up through July. Cuba is a very safe place, they are still a police state and no one there wants an interaction with the police. Always check they ID (Carnet) to make sure they are old enough and if you take them back to the apt, write their info from their carnet down on paper.... if they know you can ID them to the police if something happens, lessens the likelihood something would go missing from your room. Since a government salary is about 20-35 usd per month, many guys try to hook up and aren't even gay for pay, they will not perform and still expect their $20 or whatever you offered... so I am always very up front, no action, no money. That's all that comes to mind at the moment

not like Thailand, lol

I'm going on the 28th...... what other Forum you talking about?

To get some you "hooked" on other countries and find any excuse, hmmmm, like Flights too long to give Asia a try, lol

Damn, You're into photos....lol

that would be up for discussion.... there's a lot of whores here, lol right Mike?

in the world??? I think these threads have proven we all have our own taste.......I would take a trip half way around the world before i would be caught dead in YUL.... and BKK IS NOT on the top of my list...... lol for me: 1: GRU 2: HAV 3: GIG 4: BKK 5: ANYPLACE in Mexico

Since I've been reading good comments about Tawan here, I decided to give it a try. I haven't offed anyone there in maybe 10 years.....in the past they guys seemed too freakishly big, asking for a lot of money only not wanting to do much. So I was pleasantly surprised when I saw about 4 or 5 guys I was into...plus the place was packed. I really went being curious about #51 that has been talked alot here but didn't see him... must be popular,lol Had a lot of fun with the guy I did take though... And I know Firecat will ask for pics....so here ;-)

I'd consider coming back but already have plans for Cuba during that time...I'm sure you'll miss me, lol

when will you be in Thailand?

I'd say 117 is like putting Lagoa & Fragata together.... on their busy nights there id def something for everyone I like the food at Lagoa better..... staff (bartenders, cooks, waiters) at both Fragata & Lagoa are amazing.... I sometimes spend more time talking/hanging with them when they're not busy more than with the working boys, lol

I got in the other day at 5am.... no lines at all. I usually go to the departures level and take a taxi from there..... never a wait and no airport surcharge

From someone that also likes to drink, I'm amazed at how much you remembered, lol

Guess I have my mission for tonight.....

For SP , I like the guys (and customers) at Fragata more, they are humble and not too into themselves.... although the rooms suck, Leo the bartender said they planning a major renovation..... can only hope....

One????? hahahahahaha When have you only had ONE "special" lad....... where are you anyway?

as available as in Brasil.... but don't ask the guy while they are in front of their friends, they like to save face and be "macho"... How many muscle guys (or even twinks for that matter" say they only top and then when in the room, let you know that they do everything.... My friend that I wne t with to cuba last trip was top..... he had NO problems whatsoever.... Years ago was about 90 % tops.... now I'd say 50/50.... or 60/40 with more bottoms available.... everyone knows that they can make a months wage (20 bucks) in 1 hour

The pictures represent my likes and thank goodness we all have different tastes .... I like brown skin and monkey looking (no disrespect to my monkies) All the boys go to Bim Bom at one point or another, don't let them tell you otherwise.... file that away with the typical Thai lie that they are going back to the farm when you leave,lol I'm not a size queen but I've realized I am more than I like to think. I would put any of the Cubans I've met against their counterparts in Brazil. Now keep this in mind..... If you are very tall in USA , most people will ask if you play basketball.... because tall guys play basketball. In brasil or Cuba, even DR.... if you have a big dick, you know you can make money in the sex trade....so is where you find big ones and many people assume ALL cubans/ Brasilians have huge ones.... I've met non working guys in both places at gay bars/discos and know that's not true..... I've been going to Cuba for about 16 or 17 years now and have seen how things have changed..... some guys had my friend from the last trip that the going rate was higher than 20cuc, he believed them and paid it.... Given the cost of living in Cuba and average salaries.... I have yet to see a guy ultimately turn down 20cuc...... Guys that my friend overpaid, wanted to return with him again for 20 knowing that I had educated him on the correct price. I have a Mexican friend that goes every 6 weeks and he offers 15 cuc ( He likes dark chocolate, nice guys but not my flavor) and doesn't take them to eat or buy drinks......another guy from Mexico offers 10 cuc and they say no.... but in the end, 10 is better than zero and they give in... that's just being cheap. The wifi cards cost 2 cuc, many people will buy them and sell them all up and down La Rampa for 3 cuc all day long so we don't have to wait in any line at Etecsa. What do you pay the guys in Rio? I went to the other bar Mixto....was nice but I didn't stay, no white rum being sold, all gold, or aged. My recommendation is go to Bim Bom, don't rely on hearsay that your type won't be there....

I've always stayed at apartments... last trip was the nicest pace I've stayed and the owner was gay...however he didn't like the number of boys my friend was bringing back nightly and had a talk with him to slow down... because prostitution is illegal and envious neighbors can complain to the police/immigration and cause problems. http://www.myproudhavana.com/ I bought Euros in Mexico and got a decent price to buy them and Cuba doesn't "penalize" them like dollars and take 10%...In the past I've used Canadian Dollars and Mexican Pesos but Euros netted the best result. The black market was paying usually 90 cuban cents to 1 USD but I found someone giving 96 cents, so that was the best I could find. Credit Cards/ATM cards still not working from what I was told (I didn't try though) my banks also told me they're not working contrary to what the treasury dept has released it seems it's up to the banks to make applications which most (none?) have done yet. I have a Mexican ATM in case of emergencies.... but could always have someone Western Union money would be another back up plan. I've been to other cities but Havana is where the action is in my opinion.... why do gays keep searching for greener pastures,lol One of the boys told me that they can be "registered" into hotels now but the owner of my apartment said that if a boy goes to a lot of hotels with a lot of tourist and their Carnet gets red flagged, they can be locked up on that basis for being a prostitute.... apartments are SUPPOSED to register them too and report to immigration but most will only write their info down and only put it in the book if an inspector comes by while the boy in in the apt with you..... they don't want un needed problems with the government either.

The white guy isn't me by the way, was the friend i went with that loved Cuba.... Only a few of the pics...

I've been going to Cuba for about 16 or 17 years now.... I have things that I love or hate about the place, much like any place I visit I guess.... I went with another friend that makes TomCal seem like a Nun.... didn't think that was possible. Reminds me of TotalyOz in many respects (his spending and lodging habits) There is WiFi now available in the street for $2 an hour, so this alone may make my trips more frequent. Anyway, my big whore of a friend that has lived in Mexico, Thailand, Brasil and a few other places says that the scene in Havana is the BEST he has ever been to. He couldn't get over the number of cute guys that hang out at Bim Bom every night (in the hundreds) and the going price is still $20 and most will overnight. Gotta say That I still feel that Cuba is the safest country I travel to....one good result of a police state. Prostitution is still technically illegal and gotta be discreet in some respects but saw some of the hottest guys, twinks, muscle boys, black, white, tall short, masculine, loca....you name it. Can drink 24 hrs a day, drink in the street great Rum is $5 a bottle (my weakness) Now that the State is allowing many businesses to operate legally there are some very good and inexpensive restaurants, 2 gay bars.... but I found Taxi's to be on the high side compared to other countries, so stay in an apt or hotel close to Vedado. My friend is such a HO, he had a boy he had never met in person (only on Skype) fly in to Cancun from Lima to spend time with him while in mexico (very TotallyOz), lol I generally feel like I had my fill after returning from Cuba but am already making plans to go back the end of January..... fitting in a quick trip to BKK before the end of the year though!

I met a guy and was with him for about 5+ yrs then we drifted apart.... still friends though. And I'm not a sugar daddy nor capable of being one.... just Ask TomCal, lol

We all have our own taste, guess that's why some ice cream place (Howard Johnson or Baskin Robbins) had so many flavors.... I've went to Le Boy sooooo many times in the past and would pick the sauna boys over what I saw there..... if I want attitude and snobbishness at an over rated price, why fly to Brasil, there's plenty of that in NYC, MIA and LAX. Funny thing, I just had this conversation with someone I was showing my pictures from BKK tonight..... the most average looking guy (not ugly not handsome) was my best sex of the trip..... and it has happened this way more than not. the term , All show and no go comes to mind. Just my 2 cents Now back to the question..... I think Grindr, Hornet, Jackd', etc..... have made it easier for hustlers to hook up without having to go to a bar.... so closing or changing themes of the cruising bars is happening around the world.

BTW leaving for Havana in 29 sleeps!! I'm leaving in 3 sleeps ,lol
