I used it on my last trip back and yes it was certainly great for catching up on emails etc but also just for killing the boredom by sitting on Grindr as you went over all the various Countries whilst watching which ones were trying to blocking it ( and failing mainly now it seems ) and then getting the odd "hey, how are you, I'm in the city centre, you closem wanna meet ?") sort of message where it was worth every penny of the sign up fee just to be able to say " ha I would love to but you really wouldn't believe where I am even if I told you" :-) Looking forward to the day ( very soon I'm sure) when it becomes standard practice to have it on all planes - and FOC too hopefully at that !

"But this guy is different" OMG ​I don't believe YOU just said that.....and you with all your years experience in Thailand :-) Oh well, lets hope you're right, but hey even if not I know you're having lots of fun there "in the moment" anyway so either way it's big loss to you. Oh and I'm now setting my watch to see how long it takes until you find and nail that Russian again once boy wonder is away playing on his new device sometime ! :-)

Where exactly do you think they are allowed in Pattaya as whilst you may find go go bars and guys in shorts etc pushing the edges of what's allowed in the likes of Eros bar etc I doubt you'll find any "actual" SEX shows anywhere in Pattaya as I believe they were banned there long before Bangkok.

Yes enjoy your trip, I just literally got around to booking my own hotel today too in Pattaya from the 30th of this month onwards for a while for after I leave BKK so yes, roll on the summer :-).....well actually roll on the rainy season I guess, but you know what I mean :-)

Do keep up Ron as speaking personally I have been a member here for quite some time - as you may have noticed at some time if you'd been concentrating when reading any one of my 260 odd posts - well that is if you had been reading and posting here with any "genuine" interest and not just scouring the boards for something / anything to dig and poke people with like some kind of frothing at the mouth demented kid in a school playground over there on YOUR / Neal's PERSONAL bitching board - which of course was all along just a mechanism for Neal to spew his bile and play his twisted game on but that you helped keep afloat for him until you both had YOUR fall out. And as for "let they (sic) come forward" - it seems you don't read the other boards then eh (even though they are 100% public and available for anyone on the net to read without their having to be a member) as if you did you will see that in fact no, not everyone shares your view with regards to your friend. So, I'll leave it at that, I've said my bit elsewhere and I've no wish to drag this discussion onto this board as well as you may have noticed that I specifically have avoided mentioning Neal, you or the other boards issues anywhere in any posts made to this board up until now and have only did so in reply to your post. To conclude Ron my view of you was always more as one who was more misguided than genuinely mean and I always likened you to the dim boy standing behind the bully in the playground shouting "yeah thats right, yeah go on Neal" but not quite truly understanding why you were saying it as I believe that you honestly and genuinely believed the shit that you were feed and you merely acted on that accordingly - along with your own little bit of chip on your shoulder of course when ALL the other board owners blocked you for being hateful on their boards, which was unfortunate but not I guess entirely not understandable. However your bitterness and the childish way in which chose to manifest your dislike of others was the saddest thing I felt and it did you no favours, so, as your "friend" is now gone to meet the great moderator in the sky I hope that YOU now can find some peace and lose this silly bitterness that you have wasted SO long over and return to being a solid genuine poster wherever you chose to post as opposed to the intense insane nut job that you had appeared to become - because just as I told Neal many times "life's really is to short" to waste on nonsense like that and bitterness will only eat YOU up in the end. Best of luck with that ( and I mean that sincerely)

"Neal hated un-truthfulness" HA, you'll excuse me as I choke on my breakfast here on reading that particular line. But hey if you believed Neal to be your friend then I'm sorry for YOUR loss.

I think there's a world of difference between a travel warning or advisory which is intended simply to update it's citizens of certain possible risks in Country and give general advice as to how to lessen those risks as opposed to a formal "advising their citizens NOT to travel to a Country" that applies here. In my understanding the first is just purely helpful advice issued as a service by your Government and this ongoing advice does not affect your travel insurance in any way ( although I'm guessing that if you blatantly ignored that advice and perhaps ended up getting shot while visiting protest sites right in the middle of a riot etc, then your choices whilst there may well give your insurers some grounds for contesting your cover later on on your return maybe, hence I believe it's only the specific "do not travel to" advice that actually invalidates your cover perhaps if you chose to ignore it.

As a diet coke drinker I had to adapt too and Coke Zero is usually given as basically the same thing ( just no caffeine I think is the only difference) but as that's a minimal difference ( to me anyway) it is sa close to diet coke to be almost indistinguishable thankfully.

That "new" website is quite old - and some of the information on it is quite out of date, but Bas, Ton and Ar are still there certainly and all are nice, friendly, chilled out guys who are good at their jobs and always good to call in with and have a drink with (or whatever )........and as the last time I left their bar four nights in a row at well after 5am it's a good bar for that last late night drink if you're out somewhere else in the Soi or even elsewhere in Pattaya perhaps. ( and yes this is a shameless plug for them as they're all nice guys and deserve it so why not :-)

But enough about your fetish for 4ft midgets wearing raincoats who you want to shag you - you should perhaps be more concerned about the welfare of your cock ! :-)

To be clear just in case there's someone reading this online who is rushing out to break down their pharmacy door to buy this new drug Truvada and all whilst throwing way all their pack of condoms as they go, Truvada does NOT claim to 100% prevent HIV infection, it merely reduces the risk ( albeit quite a lot) but it also can result in quite a few unwanted side effects and obviously if safe sex is not being practiced you are also then leaving yourself and others wide open to picking up the full spectrum of the other large amount of STI's out there - with Syphillis especially making a rampant come back of late right throughout the gay world unfortunately again it seems. So, if you're a health care worker or such like then perhaps maybe this new drug can be seen as an added shield to help protect yourself just that little bit more against accidental HIV infection, but to think for even a moment that this is a new way to enable you to practice unsafe sex whilst 100% staying STI / HIV free - guaranteed - would be VERY mistaken. So keep using those condoms guys as is it REALLY worth risking your good health for the rest of your life for the sake of just one quick random fuck ......

Sounds like fun, but I hope they remember to take pics as they go so they don't end up with the same problem as this (lucky) guy when immigration in Phuket wouldn't let him leave the Country as they didn't believe it was the same person that they had allowed to enter as he had lost that much weight !! - lucky guy ! :-) http://metro.co.uk/2014/05/13/fat-boxer-who-lost-incredible-eight-stone-during-thailand-training-camp-detained-at-airport-because-no-one-believed-he-was-the-same-person-4726891/?ITO=facebook

Since when did a country have the right to stop you LEAVING their country by whatever means YOU chose ! This sounds more like someone on the border post has misinterpreted the new instructions handed down to them and are perhaps applying them ( incorrectly) as THEY believe they should so surely this can't be as the Thai Government intend - surely ? and even allowing for TIT etc ?

So, I'm in Thailand on holiday on a 30 day visa on arrival and I then decide on a whim to go visit Siem Reap for a few days and short of going an finding an open Thai Consulate or Embassy to issue me a new visa Ican't return ? Am I reading that correctly - surely not ? Or does this only apply to same day re-entry perhaps ( although it doesn't say that). And yes I know I could / should have perhaps just apply and get a double / triple entry visa or something when still in my own home Country "just in case" and long before travelling ( at an extra cost) but that's why I said "on a whim" - which certainly in my case is anytime I decide to take a trip what usually happens. This also then buggers up any other further side trips I might want to add in as well - or again have I missed something as already there appears to be quite a bit of confusion as to the new rule application re does it also apply to fly in travellers or not, who I understand is also set to take effect with from August 2014 ??

And confirmed just now on the BBC news website also ...So Thai's can maybe now expect yet more of the lowest of low seasons ahead perhaps as on reading this type of news if the Government being left in a vacuum yet more droves tourists from various countries all decide just to play it safe and book their summer holidays elsewhere rather than risk yet more fresh political uncertainty in Thailand over their valuable and time precious summer holiday break period. :-(

Yes I'm guessing it must have been otherwise for sure you certainly would have had to I love you I miss you messages by now - along with at least a token "my rent is due and I no customer I need your help, can you help me please" test the water message ;/) If I were you I'd count your blessings and quit while you're ahead - literally !

Am I the only person bored senseless reading the word libel being thrown about all over the place on gay forums of late... a lot of crap, some people need to have a word with themselves and chill out, we're here ( well most of us are) for a bit of light hearted fun not a legal symposium on who said what when and whether one has a case to sue or not. Thankfully we're not ALL wedded to that American (or Thai) style of living and suing on a whim "just yet" and most people can move beyond such needless idiocy of having such shallow threatening conversations - and yes I know Thai libel law...the most harsh thing ever etc etc, yes we've all heard it a million times, but REALLY do we need to keep going on about it and talking about veiled threats and the chances of such actions taking place, especially over a simple posts like "who's the owner of a hotel' etc. I mean if the person who was so concerned to post the board owner in the first place simply posted to the board "hey, I'm the owner ( or represent them as they implied), and they / I have been the owner now for ages so we do hope you all drop in for a beer or a meal sometime when passing" - job done, we all know the truth" and they get bit of free PR in to the bargain for their business too, but hell no, sure lets all talk about possible libel proceedings instead as that's much more interesting - sigh :-( I just hope no restaurant critic ever calls to ANY restaurant in Thailand to write a piece on their food as at the rate libel is talked about on the boards of late the poor chap will be in court before his dessert is even wheeled out to him !

No one can really answer that one except yourself I fear. I know a lot of thai guys do all go with their friends and have a great time partying with their friends all quite innocently on Silom during Songkran and likewise I know a few hot young guys also go to Silom and Soi 4 etc to and have a great time too with some fun farang friends as well. So, I guess your question isn't so much as about whether he should go alone or not but one more about whether you trust him trust or not and or whether you want to try and control him ( and good luck with that if you think you are good enough to try las many before you have tried and failed and only given themselves an ulcer whilst doing so). My view on such things is if he's going to cheat he's going to cheat and NO amount of watching or checking by you will ever catch him out (in time) or stop it if that's what he's intent on doing, so you'd either decide no, you can't live with that risk and just dump him now and be done with it and so avoid all that stress and pressure you've ( brought on yourself) with you wrecking your own head TRYING to check up on him all the time OR you just mentally accept whatever will be will be and stop that whole thought process going on in your brain and let him get on with whatever he's going to do and let the dice fall where it may. Meanwhile you'll having a much more enjoyable time with him and he'll probably end up be a much better boyfriend to you as he feels more relaxed and appreciative that you're not some crazed jealous farang stalker out to check his every move the whole time - and hey it he cheats he cheats so you're no worse off really. Plus if it's only asking for one day to enable him to head out with his mates on a Thai national holiday you can't "really" blame the guy perhaps, especially if there is a but of an age difference between you and him or his mates, so maybe that's not too much for him to ask ? And don't forget that you can always tell him that you in fact have decided to head to Silom YOURSELF for your own fun that weekend too and hey you guess you never know you just might or might not just see him around somewhere but you hope he has a good day !! :-) Oh and just in case you're thinking its all a mad sex fest that he's wanting to escape to it's not - as the pic attached shows - mind you, when it's farang and maybe 2000 hot and wet and horny Thai guys all wanting to stroke your face and play with you with water and paint in Soi 4, yeah I GUESS maybe one could call that a bit of a sex fun fest after all perhaps lol - well at least for most of the farang in attendance anyway perhaps !

@ alex - firstly thank you for the compliment on the quality of my "rant" - or as I prefer to call it my opinion and to answer your question, yes I have, many times in many countries but hey perhaps Thailand is unique - but doubt it. The other thing I can never quite understand is are people REALLY that skint ( or tight) that they choose / prefer to sleep on some dodgy, perhaps cum covered / barely wiped faux leather mattress, in a tiny usually roasting warm, non air conditioned cubicle, with no blanket or even basic sheet or covering etc, with god knows what having been going on there 10 minutes before you arrived as opposed to staying in a proper clean(ish) bed in even the likes of a hostel and all for what - to save a few hundred baht - I mean really there's saving money and then there's just being pure CHEAP, if you can't afford that few hundred baht I would really be questioning your choice of spending the several hundred pounds it probably cost you to travel to Thailand in the first place.

See this is why the staff in saunas end up having to come round switching on lights and a banging on doors and generally being a nuisance, sometimes even having policies of having to clear complete areas of some saunas for up to 10 minutes every two hours etc - and all because some people decide to use their sauna cubicles as hotel rooms to get themselves a cheap nights sleep as they are too miserable to book even a cheap hotel room for themselves ! :-( There's a very good reason why saunas are for fun and hotels are for sleeping and we could do worse than remember that rather than taking up cubicles and ruining other peoples fun , who it should be remembered have also paid their entrance fee just like you and expect to be able to actually use the facilities there too.

As well as all of the above and answers such as ease of remembering a child's nick name or it being given the name of the first thing the parent sees etc there is also the angle of the child being given a "false" ( nick) name immediately at birth so that the spirits can't hear or find out the child's real name to avoid them being able to haunt / possess / bring bad luck ( or something like that ??) to the child in it's life.

No, I can't say for SURE as Phet hadn't come on my radar (if you'll excuse the pun :-) in a way that I'd particularly noticed him before, but the rest of them are like looking at a list of old long lost friends as I hadn't visited that site in a long time as the guys didn't ever change, but lets hope you're right and he or someone else is still updating things, albeit on a slower scale now perhaps.

Colmx said......"There are some new videos on PBM, the ones featuring Phet and Ton + the latest featuring Phet, Ton, Golf and the tattooed farang would appear to be relatively new" No they are all quite old videos too, certainly at least four years old or more I would say roughly and are examples of the site owner just regrugitating it same movies over and over and changing the dates to keep the site "looking" fresh - and to keep the money coming rolling in no doubt - and why not as I guess to some people they ARE new ( to them), just a pity he appears to have hung up the boots perhaps. Although with his apparently dodgy decision making capabilities when it came to regular condom use I think perhaps it's maybe best that he did - and lets just hope that was by choice and not medical necessity :-(

The videos are getting quite old now ( a few years at least) so finding the boy of your dreams still working and looking as hot (or not in some cases) as some of them did may be getting more and more difficult as boys move away out of Pattaya etc. Plus from talking to some of the boys they are well on to the guy who made the original movies now in terms of the very low money they were offered and accepted at the start when they weren't maybe aware just how popular / money making they would or how the site would work when set up, however as they have now noted that and noted the money that they perceive that HE (not they) has made from their shows I believe they very quickly upped they rate and quickly learned to charge him more accordingly for their services. Perhaps this is why production of any new movies have al but slowed down / stopped and they moved "production" i.e him his cock and his trusty video camera to the Philippines etc for a while too. Actually does anyone know IS he still making any new movies now at all or has he as he as it now appears maybe given up the filming of anything new and is just now re-hashing the site over and over again to live off the income of his past exploits just now perhaps ?

Wow, excellent video, I was expecting someone's badly edited home movie attempt but that was excellent, he should sell his services to TIT ! I wonder just what level of film maker Justin Heaney is out of interest as that certainly seemed way more than someone playing with iMovie on their Mac perhaps, everything from the way the original footage was taken ( with shots the average tourist wouldn't even think about bothering about taking) right through to the final edit and sound track etc, all went together to make a really edgy and enjoyable movie and it just makes you realise what some of us myself included are missing by not getting out of Silom and Pattaya more often !
