@Riobard As many Thai boys have been known to say........"you think too much" Relax, we're all going to be dead soon, nothing REALLY matters. Have a great day.

Actually I can concur and confirm having did exactly that on a few occasions that yes, sometimes it IS just as easy as that - and with the added bonus of you can pick up a few beers ( and their strangely lovely cheese and ham sandwiches!) and some snacks to take back to the room with you too to start proceedings off nice and chilled and relaxed ! 🙂

I cant quite make up my mind if this is a good thing or not - on one hand more Americans getting a passport and travelling and experiencing the rest of the world is probably a good thing, but on the down side that means more Americans travelling and being all around the rest of the world too 😞 So torn as to which I prefer less !

The driver may hope that he's somehow related to a Red Bull relative somewhere if he's to have any chance of escaping prosecution for this one !!!!

Likewise and that's the main reason I stopped going as the stench of smoke and the smoke in the air while dancing became almost unbearable. Plus the drug dealing and taking of same was also getting a bit off the scale towards the end of my visits and trust me I'm not the sort of person who would usually give a shit about such things, but between half the guys in there being beyond off their faces and the guys in the corners( and some waiting staff) fairly openly dealing it all just became a bit much of a chore rather than fun - for me anyway. *Mod's if this post is "a bit too much" then do of course please free free to edit or delete as you see fit, but it was my experience at the time.

??? Surely you always did ?? I know I and the queue of people in front and behind me certainly did at the desk located outside the main doors where you gave one guy the money and got the tickets for your "free" drinks at the bar, that was a few years ago now so maybe all changed after Covid ??

While the whole situation is a sad inditement for politics in general I have to say I'm finding the whole situation hilarious and i just wish that Santos would just cut to the bottom line and open up his full on drag queen persona to the House as THAT would make for some even more hilarious results I'm sure, but of course that probably wont happen. In fact it's probably more likely that Santos will probably announce that he's actually a top Bishop of some church or other and soon to be Pope no less and / or is an Alien who has been sent by God ( or the flying spaghetti monster) to save us all from some terrible disaster!. Where upon a ton of Americans will instantly start a new religion to follow him and start building large expensive temples to worship him - and then someone will then of course shoot him as seems to be the American way these days ! Either way GO SANTOS !! He's the best weekly entertainment show to come out of Congress for years I say ! 🙂

Just out of interest there - is small claims different there compared to the UK then as here the whole point of small claims court are you rock up, state you case/s and the judge makes a binding judgement based on the facts as placed in front of them, there and then, with no long delays or adjournments ( ideally) and you get your collective answer as to who has to pay up before you leave the court. Is it different in Canada perhaps ?

I see it says the case went up on the 2nd Feb, I wonder does anyone know the outcome perhaps !?

Ditto re thanks for the time and effort involved from your end there @TotallyOz, always appreciated. And I love the way you're so open and honest as above re "the figures" and aren't one of these " oh this site is raking me in a 6 figure income every month and I'm an internet millionaire 5 times over ( maybe you ARE already I dont know ) Either way, it's always refreshing to nice to hear the good and bad of running sites including what's working and what's not or didn't when you ( and probably we too) had always assumed it might and that you were / are raking it in from the addition of such pages etc. As you already alluded to though money's not everything and I'm glad that you too find the site a good use of your time and enjoyable just as we all seem to. Thanks.

Hmm I wonder was that me ! This as I was visiting Sunsuk on a very warm late afternoon / early evening for some fun ( and so was only wearing a towel of course as is the norm there). So, after a while lying on the chairs downstairs and as it WAS so warm I fancied a dip in the pool, so got up and quietly slipped into the water for a while without any fuss. On leaving the water and returning to my sunbed I was aware of being on the end of multiple dirty looks from two old guys lying on sunbeds quite a distance away from me and after a while it became annoying so I shouted down 'WHAT, what seems to be your problem?" to which I got lectured about how "you weren't allowed to be naked in the pool or at the chairs" and how it was unacceptable and I should stop it etc. Being that we WERE sitting in a gay sauna and we all knew why we were there ( and it wasn't to sunbathe) I thought "no, fuck you mate" and called the manager over who rolled his eyes in the direction of the complainers and confirmed loud enough that they could hear and "no sir, it's absolutely fine here, enjoy your swim". Needless to say I carried on until they left, never failing to be amazed how some gays are SO repressed that they seem to forget where they are and what they are usually doing there, meanwhile my swim and early evening dip was lovely ! I would add before i get commended as uncaring rude and obviously unaware of social rules of society that I literally was slipping in and out of the water for a quick dip, nothing more. Not like I was running about the place flailing my arms and swinging my dick in the hope of some action ! ( that was later upstairs probably lol) PS to the OP - should you ever find yourself in mainland Spain and close to Barcelona etc, there's a quite small but lovely gay nudist beach to be found in Sitges, whilst not 100% "gay" being Sitges it might as well be of course and has many handsome guys in attendance usually!

Ha Glad to hear it as I've had a few nearly pass out on me when I walked then from DJ to Tarntawan ! 🙂 Me I was having a lovely stroll home, taking in the signts and sounds, then, crying like babies "it's too far, no way call taxi !!!!!!" but as we were already well more than half way home by that time I insisted we carry on on our apparently arduous hike - much to their disgust and dismay ! lol

Im certainly not sure that the World Cup gave Qutar the positive PR image that they'd hoped for world wide when they were stumping up the money for the bribes perhaps and I doubt they needed the income from tourism so it's hard to see what they actually got out of the whole deal, other than a few new football stadiums perhaps. But bad PR or not - can't deny it was quite the final !!!! Edge of the seat stuff for the supporters for sure.

If ANY gays, whether that be visitors or locals to Bali ( or both) pay the SLIGHTEST heed to this silly law I'll be more than AMAZED / sadly disappointed as to what that means us gays have become. We've been fucking, literally all around the world, for YEARS already and that when it's been illegal and punishable by death no less! So I really doubt if yet "another" silly law saying we cant fuck around is going to make the slightest bit of difference to any of us !

Damn ! So after just clicking on your above hooker link just for a nosey you understand, unfortunately I've just realised that I may already be becoming down with something on day 5 of the trip perhaps and feeling a bit ill on perhaps the afternoon of one of our beach days and perhaps needing to go back to my room "to lie down for a few hours" ( cough cough - hmmm you think I'll get away with it!?? ) lol ( I AM joking, if I were to even consider that I would just be open about it and man up and face the wrath and silent treatment of a Flipino scorned for the next two days and take it like a man - and then sleep with one eye open for the next five days after that! )

I would love to know the no doubt weird and wonderful reason for that daily build and strip routine. I've always assumed it was either as there's some law that prevents there being a permanent market there unless approved by the authorities / Palace etc OR that the landlords perhaps rent the land to the market owners on the condition that they get the contract to provide all the kit and the manpower labour to build and strip it all every day of the year and THAT is how they're making the REAL money from the deal. As when you consider that the strip can be going on well until the early hours of the morning sometimes, with the build then starting to happen sometimes well before lunch time again on the same day with only a few hours gap in between there must surely be SOME reason behind it happening like that as it makes zero sense otherwise, even when factoring in the whole TIT thing !?

Thanks for all the very useful info there which I'll certainly take note of. The hustlers I guess I'll have to pass on this time as I've been reminded by my BF that we're going away for a "normal" holiday together and NOT one of my whoring trips you know ! - "apparently !" 😞 lol But the bars I will check out for sure. And as you say yes I'll try and watch the wallet and all that stuff too 😞 Actually once I started reading up with so many people saying the same thing I started instantly regretting my choice of even going near Mexico as no matter what i was reading it was all just negative and about scams, robberies, staff with bad attitudes and crap but expensive accommodation, but I'll give it a whirl and just hope it's more a case of bad reviews from the type of people who like to leave bad reviews on Tripadvisor and the like rather than it "actually" being the case - hopefully. We're staying fairly central on Av Tulum 4, which if I've did my homework correctly looks reasonably central to downtown and the bars etc and hopefully shouldn't be "terrible". But I do get what you mean re some of the hotels being crap. From the pics you think hmmm maybe, not to bad, and then you read the reviews and OMG do the people who own the hotels not read them, nor care !? Is there just THAT much business in Cancun they just dont have to give a shit perhaps about the condition of their places or what seemingly genuine issues multiple people had raised, as that's certainly what comes across time and time and time when reading multiple different hotel review site for hotels there. As I mentioned I think Bali / Thailand etc has just spoiled me in terms of value for money and pleasant ( on the face of it at least) service. And I'm with you on the Miami prices along the hotel zone, I couldn't believe my eyes some of the hotel and tour prices etc for the dates we were travelling - and they weren't even THAT exceptional in terms of some of the hotels either. I'm more surprised that Americans, who usually expect and demand a reasonably high standard of service and pricing still all seem to flock to Cancun, there's obviously some golden nugget of fun there that I'm missing so far, but we'll see I guess. I'm trying to go with an open mind ( not that you'd think that from reading my above lol) and as always a trip is just what you make it so Im sure it'll be just fine ( after I leave my three spare credit cards and second wallet in my hotel safe in case I'm robbed when out at night that is just in case perhaps ! lol)

Although the below is a UK website the products on there are now being sold widely globally it seems and I've noticed that girls here ARE now starting to use the glass cover sticker ( or variations of those) around various nighttime venues now. While the stickers and the like are perhaps a bit much for the average guy to be seen using stlill the drink testing strips could well be a useful addition to a gay mans "travel kit" if you're having visitors back to your room or feel there's something not quite right in a bar you're in ! Sad what the world seems to be becoming eh 😞 https://www.drinksafe.uk

Ha ha all of that - and just from you reading one sentence, wow ! You're obviously a little bit unhinged it seems, that explains your various posts to date at least I guess. Have a nice day 🙂

Go live in Russia and post under the same user name but change it to Russia and see how that goes for you there and then come back and talk to us perhaps eh....

While I realise that it's more of a straight white US citizens tourist trap than any genuine Mexican trip experience, it seems that for a variety of reasons ( of which I am still unaware it seems) my BF has decided that he and I are visiting Cancun for Christmas and New years from the 21st Dec to the 5th Jan for or Christmas break this year ( i.e me having to ensure an actual normal holiday rather than my going off to whore about somewhere with multiple cute guys in abundance 😞 ). So, just wondering does anyone have any tips or suggestions as to where we might go while there bar wise (straight or gay) etc? We're actually staying in Cancun City rather than at the hotel zone ( mainly due to the eye watering prices of the beach hotels over our dates!). We're already booked on several of the usual tourist trap type trips such as swimming in the Cenotes and visiting Chichen Itza etc, so it's more as to if anyone has any recommendations for nice restaurants or good (safe) fun gay bars perhaps ? After reading several reviews for a few gay bars there most were enough for me to think to give them a wide berth due to excessive overcharging / ripping off of tourists and then operating blatant scams and even carrying out some assaults on tourists around the City area, but perhaps they were just random bad reviews for what are ok bars, I dont know. The one thing I am getting so far though is Cancun hmmmm Pattaya / Bangkok it most defintely is NOT thats for sure ! So, any tips or suggestions ( aside from WTF are you thinking even going there to what to me from youtube videos at least is American holidayers straight hell ( which is how I'm seeing it just now) will be gratefully received.

Why you'd almost thinking he was (still) trolling about Cancer -and on a post where another board member seems to have a genuine case going on - tasteless to say the least.

I dont think anyone has made any personal attacks, merely an observation that trolling about cancer (IMHO at least) as seems to the general thread of most of olddaddys posts of late is just a bit off considering a lot of us may have had or are dealing with that, but hey if that's how he gets his jollies no ones stopping him I guess. PS Floridarob - I got that 🙂

I cant believe people still bite. But only me who thinks trolling about cancer is a tad to much......

I tried those once, absolutely useless, for all the good they were I may as well of stuck them up my ass !
