I am totally with you @TotallyOz with what you wrote above. Thanks for sharing it with us. Especially the part about the "diamonds in the rough" - especially if it has sharp edges from a bad upbringing and/or unfortunate MB experiences --> or both. Those "sharp edges" can wound the both of you - but the potential emotional rewards and happiness can be unparalled.

It depends - if memory serves me correctly - gay camping and cruise walking "in the forest" .... proved to me that it is NOT hard to "grow boys in the forest" boys will be boys in the forest https://nomadicboys.com/gay-campgrounds-usa/

@jason1975 Great work with your new AI video creation skills. One of the things that i notice about these is that all of the belly buttons (navel umbilicus area) seem to be identical. Also, the packaging of what is in their underwear briefs. Does the AI software simply duplicate the 1st person onto the 8 other guys ? I see that the face and height of the individual guys are different - but much of the rest of their body is the same (as if to be duplicated).

@faranglaw thanks for posting this, as I believe that this is the NUMBER 1 reason why I joined, participate, and stay active in "OUR FORUM" = gayguides.com. It warms my heart when our responsible membership take care of our guys. On the other hand, it saddens me when we occasionally learn/read/discover that some of our members exploit our guys in a monetary and/or psychological way that is degrading to their wellbeing. In the end, we are all human - and we should be all treated with dignity.

YES, the water was MORE wet in the years prior to covid because the management of Boyztown made the experience more titillating, exciting, arousing, stimulating, and salacious. And do you know what all of these words do @vinapu ?? They make you MORE wet from the anticipation about what is to cum..... Unfortunately, the current Boyztown management (mainly BoyzBoyzBoyz) dried up the former wetness with their current BORING marketing practices and show formats.

@jason1975 I love it because of the song that you chose. I believe that is the SAME song that was played for the BoyzBoyzBoyz in Pattaya 9pm sexy red carpet march of the stage guys. I so do miss those yesteryear good times.

With all this negativity about Cebu - I guess the winner for my "where to retire" trifecta will be Da Nang - as it already meets: 1.) The Jomtien like hirise condos directly on the immense Da Nang seashore. 2.) Traffic in Da Nang is NOTHING like Manila, Bangkok, HCMC, Hanoi, Pattaya, and perhaps Cebu (as I still need to have my feet down on the ground to assess the actual traffic situation). But I still need to go through with this comparing retirement destinations excercise anyway, as actual field research is generally more reliable than just relying on hearsay. My preliminary research for gay life is that Cebu appears to have more to offer (bars, clubs, and saunas) than Da Nang does.

Unfortunately, Baguio is not on my list, as I am a sea view loving person. Nearness to the sea and sea view are one of my top 3 priorities for a retirement destination. Thanks for the heads up about the nasty Cebu City traffic situation. I am hoping that the traffic situation on nearby Mactan island Newtown beach area will be similar to the ok level of traffic that we have here in Jomtien. The secret to a happy traffic life here in Jomtien is to minimize the number of times that you need to venture into Pattaya City, as that traffic can be a nightmare.

I am about to embark on this adventure at the end of this month. I am currently a retiree in the Pattaya suburb = Jomtien - a small establishment directly on the Gulf of Thailand beaches with hirise condos all along the beach. Due to the new Thai government recently implementing unfriendly tax laws - I will scout nearby countries for alternate retiree solutions. I am trying to find the Jomtien equivalent in the Philippines - and this has been an enormous challenge to find beaches in the Philippines that have hirise condos directly on the beach like in Miami, Da Nang - Vietnam, and here in Jomtien - Thailand. It appears that most of the beach communities in the Philippines are underdeveloped and do not have clusters of hirise condo buildings with direct sea access. So, I will start my 2 month scouting adventure in Cebu City (near IT Park) - as it has the closest potential similarity to Jomtien - Thailand in nearby Mactan (island) Newtown Beach - as shown in the below map. If one would live in the heart of Pattaya City and wanted to get to the Dongtan gay beach then depending on traffic that would entail anywhere between 15 to 25 minutes. My preliminary research shows that to get from IT Park in Cebu City to the Jomtien area on Mactan island at Newtown beach entails 45 minutes depending on traffic. So I will live for a couple of weeks in Cebu City and then go over to Newtown beach and rent a place in one of the hirise condo towers there so that I can assess how similar it is as the retiree destination that I currently have here in Jomtien. I ruled out Manila as it is too big, crowded, congested, and a general traffic nightmare. For Davao, I could not find any seafront neighborhoods that have a Jomtien hirise condo on the sea feeling to it. @bobtpa1614502761 If you are aware of such places in Davao - please let me know. Thanks.

I am starting to believe that the answer is yes. I just have to figure out HOW to avoid that I become one of them. Do I need to change countries? Or perhaps relocate to a less jaded city in Thailand ?

I’ve heard this question a lot. While it may seem aimed at high-income individuals, the reality is that it applies to everyone. If you’re bringing foreign income into Thailand, it’s important to get ahead of the game with proper planning. And this is the MOST nasty part of what the Thai government has allowed to transpire. If you have passive income greater than the equivalent of $80,000 USD for the prior 2 tax years - you can qualify for the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) LTR (Long Term Resident) visa, specifically the Wealthy Pensioner visa, which EXEMPTS you from having to pay tax in Thailand. Unfortunately, and unfairly, if your income is less than the equivalent of $80,000 USD, then you are possibly subject to the progressive personal income tax on funds that you transfer into Thailand - as per the below: So, we clearly have an example that these current Thai tax schemes are NOT targeting big fish. It is us little fish that are being targeted. What could be the rationale for this warped thinking ? Thoughts ?

Hahahaha This is NORMAL modus operandi for many of these guys. No shame. No guilt. No self control, No financial responsibility, etc. It is just amazing. After living here as a new retiree here for more than 2 years - I now see how to survive here psychologically and mentally --> in that you just need to become a grumpy non-heart cold jaded old bastard expat retiree. So sad, as I had not envisioned to have this kind of existence in the last years of my life.

And the bounce that his rock hard cock makes is one that says: Remove this blanket NOW and give me some strokes because I am so ready to shoot. 🍆💦💦💦

Below is today's YouTube from Benjamin Hart - an American Attorney with Integrity Legal, who became a Thai citizen many years ago. He is pretty hot under the collar about the Thai government's recent move to align with OECD's norm to align Thai taxes with the global standard before Thailand actually becomes an OECD member. If I understood correctly, I believe that these are prerequisite steps that you need to do as a country in order to qualify for OECD membership ? Kind of like what prospective EU countries need to do to join the EU via the EU Accession process ?

@spoon Why do you think that is? Why does a str8 MB have this very important understanding about finances and a gay MB does not?
