I sent a pm today and when I checked it said BLOCK by the name I pmed. I hit the block and then it said unblock. I hit unblock and it went back to block. Very queer as I am certain I never blocked anyone. Very strange!!

For a very reasonable but excellent buffet, including fantastic desert pastries, try the Hilton hotel in Pattaya. The Edge is on the 14th Floor with beautiful water views. Excellent coffees. This is a lunch buffet and only 300B.

Sweet thread.

Kokopelli you are the kiss expert but I missed something and need direction. Has anyone posted their own image, maybe from years past?

Rethinking the no window room. At least no early morning sunlight and no noise from outdoor clubs or karaoke. Sort of like a coffin

No window, no way! No doubt Thai boy thought farang was very cheap or flat broke. Depressing to even think about.

Another farang friend related that several massage boys said NO, when he tried to engage their services. He is a big man and was surprised as he frequents massage parlors several times a week and rarely has a turndown.

Last night some farangs were chatting in Sunee Plaza and one related a recent episode at Double Shot, also in Sunee. He had a drink with a host boy and when he asked the boy to go with him, the host boy said "cannot". This didn't sit well with farang and several of us offered possible explanations. Are the boys offable at Double shot?

Sweet. I remember liking boys when young but think I was around 12 when it was sexual interest.

When anyone is obnoxious, pushy, and in your face, One does not have to be polite and nice. It's time to stand up for yourself and be direct and strong. It works with even the worst mamasans. They won't like you and may give you a dirty look, but you will feel you did the right thing and maintain your self respect. Be firm, direct and unapologetic. Niceness equals weakness, when dealing with pushy obnoxious people.

I'm planning a trip to Luang Prabang in July. Plan is to fly up with boyfriend and return by river or land. Looking for suggestions on hotels, nightlife and if returning by river is the way to go. We would probably fly back from Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai to BKK.

I suggest everyone live every day as if it is your last one. There are no guarantees about tomorrow and insane to wait for next incarnation.

The scuttlebutt was that the staff all quit after one day. My guess is that the new owner doesn't know the ropes and might have caused some staff members to lose face.

It takes boys to make a bar. Hype is just hype and pretty lighting gets boring very quickly. Time will tell

The owner in question has admitted to brain damage and strokes and the desire to retire from running the forum. Of course, if one feels singled out for retribution and abuse, it is difficult to be understanding. When a man is on his last legs and on his way out, maybe a little compassion would be appropriate here. One could say the same about others at death's door and try to forgive and move on. I do understand how annoying it is to have someone get up your nose but sometimes a good sneeze is the answer.

Hard to believe any forum owner would have such thin skin. Perhaps, a447a had previous issues with the owner, perhaps warnings and perhaps the owner just a tad touchy. I suppose only the owner and a447a know.

Only hardcore expats in Pattaya this time of year. Too hot

Someone just doesn't get it. Scottishguy detests the pattayabitchboard. He was a frequent target of vile attacks and is certainly not a PR man. I have/jhad my issues with Scottishguy from his days as a moderator on another forum but his conduct here has been fine. I imagine khaloakguy has old issues with Scottishguy as well and hopefully will get over it and move on. Perhaps, I just made an enemy but hopefully khaloakguy is able to take a bit of criticism and let it go.

Really sad to see the mental demise of the owner. I now seriously doubt some of the accusations he made against a former poster here, where he accused heygay of being the owner of the bitchboard and the author of all the insulting comments. I was quick to believe the worst and now realize it was probably more lies from a damaged mind. so sad, really. The owner has lost all credibility and really lost the plot. The new owner better step in soon or that forum will be corrupted as the owner continues to lose his grip and slide further away from reality. I guess the moderators there are powerless or just afraid or incompetent.

I noticed that several posters dared to criticize the owner for his actions. Kudos to firecat and others. I believe that the strong possibility exists that the owner's stroke as well as his imminent departure have affected his sensibilities. Maybe he is getting in his last licks against posters he has issues with before he loses his "power" as a board owner. It could be dementia or irritable bowel syndrome. Fountainhall has the right attitude and should let this "tempest in a teapot" roll off his back like a duck does with the rain.

David Brendel's health condition and his death were reported on gaybutton.com by Pattayamale on April 5th, 2013. I do not know if David posted on the gay forums. If you read the thread, you will see David was a nice guy without an enemy in the world and a dear friend of Pattayamale as well as farang owners of Oud's Bar in Sunee Plaza. I was not a close friend but knew him for years and was greatly saddened by his death and admired his attitude and coping skills. I will let others who knew him better to expand on him if they read this and choose to do so. I found Michael's apology a bit forced. I had no intention of creating a tempest in a teapot. He has run forums and knows better than to edit postings to change their intentions and then comment on the edited postings. There are far worst things in the world and i will accept Michaels apology and move on. One can only hope Michael will move on as well and not hold a grudge against wee willie for earlier postings which praised the new management here as a big improvement and also criticizing the former management decision about not banning heygay. I hope Michael is not so thin skinned that he cannot move and to cease ripping apart wee willies postings in order to make williewillie look bad. I see no reason to continue this petty feud, apology accepted and I have moved on.

really creepy to have someone quote what you write and edit out parts. Sort of like twisting ones words to make your own point. No doubt Michael is good friends with heygay and loves him like a brother but if you quote someone it is only fair not to edit and leave out parts. Like I said , just creepy and disingenuous. You would think from the edited quote that I wasn't letting out my tears and feelings. That is sick and not what I wrote. I made it clear that my tears and feelings were for those farangs whom I cared about and were close to. I resent the editing of what I wrote. If Michael wants to quibble over feeling pity or feeling sorry that is up to him but if you quote someone don't distort their quote for your own purposes.

The recent death of David Brendel from cancer was reported on gaybuttonthai. David was one of the nicest men who enjoyed the fun and excitement of gay Pattaya. He wasn't controversial, notorious, loud or brash, just a good soul, whom one felt enriched for having known. It seems misguided to me to concentrate ones thoughts, emotions or even donations on someone whose claim to fame was so irritating to so many. So many gay farangs come to Pattaya in their elder years to enjoy what is left of their lives and many end their lives in Thailand. I will save my tears and feelings for all the good men I have known who have passed on in Thailand and the many who are fighting their cancers and other serious medical conditions. I wish no ill to anyone but my heart goes out to the dozens of other gay farangs who made a difference in my life and others. I celebrate men like David Brendel but can only pity heygay. Others can do as they wish.

Fountainhall reminded me of a Thai guy that I liked but his feet and shoes stunk like a skunk. He would leave his shoes outside my room door and would scrub his feet in the shower. I really liked him and bought foot deodorants and new shoes for him. The guy told me his roommates also had a big problem with his foot odor.

It just hit me. Tongue-tied. Very clever play on words .
