Compliments @ggobkk. I love your writing style. I cannot wait for the next segment.

Here is the link to Cam's blog https://thegayexpat.com/

You have to take the initiative to watch Cam's other videos and to read his blog to get the full picture. In one of Cam's many videos or blog, he states that many Filippinos were soliciting him in a positive way because they wanted to be allowed to be with him to see if what they heard about black guys being gifted was true. My impression was that Cam did not feel excluded by the locals - hence the original concern of @brall3 friend.

@brall3 Tell your friend to watch this Youtube video, produced by Cam, a black gay blogger in the Philippines about what it is like to be black and gay in the Philippines. Cam's email is below in case your friend would have any further questions or concerns. cameron@thegayexpat.com

@vinapu - thanks for the knowledge sharing. One more question, in order to calculate the DTA (Double Taxation Agreement) differentials it assumes: Income tax returns are already completed in both countries Thailand has set the first tax filing deadline for the application of these new tax rules on our year 2024 income, as 31 March 2025. However, if in your home country, your tax deadline is 15 April 2025 --> does this imply that you need to accelerate your home country filing in order to be able to meet the tight Thailand tax deadline? Otherwise, it would not be possible to calculate the DTA differentials and know who to pay what to and to avoid a late filing penalty ?? Below are the Thailand PIT (Personal Income Tax) rates: Thailand PIT source = https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/thailand/individual/taxes-on-personal-income

Thanks for the update Reader. I am glad that you are enjoying Da Nang --> as I truly love it there - especially with the access to the nature and beach views from the road out of Da Nang driving north on yhe hilly coastal road - it is truly stunning. For me, Da Nang is my home away from home after Thailand.

https://www.pattayamail.com/408/news.htm After the above very old Pattaya Mail article opens - scroll down to the heading = Boyztown buzzes over “pink baht” scandal Amazing history about some Boyztown happenings.

A VERY controversial article about the early days of Boyztown - I do not know if any of this was ever substantiated. Since this thread is of the history of our beloved gay Pattaya.... https://www.andrew-drummond.news/caught-on-camera-but-who-gets-rich-ou/

Wait - what happened? 2nd coming of Dorothy's in the Jomtien Complex ? The Supertown Twitter (X) page is reporting that Dorothy's is now back with a photo of Mike and his partner James, and that they had a special "imported" sexy show from the Bangkok Circus Soi 4. Anybody have any news? That was the fastest bar closure and resurrection that I ever saw....

This should be fun to watch occasionally - especially since I have 2 football guys (Russian) from last years tournament that also moonlight as "heterosexual" massage guys who are available for fun outside of the football stadium.

well that definitely does not describe me. My life outside of the Jomtien Supertown Complex is VERY full and complete with little or no extra free time to squeeze in more activities.

Well, I hope that @reader NEVER stops posting these articles. I find them extremely useful. Try living in Thailand as an expat and not being able to understand what is or may happen to you thanks to this crazy current government's new initiative to tax us expats who live here more than 180 days in a year. Furthermore, thanks to @reader posting articles about the various gay pride events in Thailand, I was able to participate in many of these events, that I would not have known to exist - especially in Koh Samui - thanks to my recent trip to Koh Tao via Koh Samui. I would suggest that you just ignore the parts of this forum that you are not interested in. For example, for the South American continent - I ignore all of those many related posts because I chose to retire and live in Southeast Asia. But, I am happy to see that they exist - as I believe that they add value to those readers who are interested in South America.

Macaroni - you are GREAT. I wish that you were the mayor of Pattaya - as you could make things so much better here..... You wrote in the context of gogo bars, but if you have visited the Jomtien Supertown Complex - with the boring bar manager mantra of: "farang sit farang drink", those 30+ bars are so ripe for your philosophy to add some true entertainment and/or alternative value otherwise it just continues to be so boring...

https://www.romeo.com/en/app/ Romeo is an old app that has been around since I believe since 2002 ? Wikipedia PlanetRomeo When I lived in Europe for more than 20 years it was VERY popular - as it was born many years prior to Grindr - when I believe that Grindr was born in 2009. Note that if you want to use the HUNQZ (rent boys) feature on your phone, you will need to also download and install the web version of the app - as the HUNQZ modality is not available on the phone app version.

I second Vinapu's recommendations for Chiang Mai. I truly enjoyed the Adam's Apple go-go bar - especially the Burmese Shan state masculine guys who performed.... I wrote about these places in my 2014 trip report to Chiang Mai where I employed one of the principals (Woody) of the Classic House Massage massage shop to be my tour guide. I see that Woody is still listed as one of Siam Roads tour guides https://siamroads.com/woody-chiang-mai/ Enjoy

and this was DEFINITELY evident in my recent trip to Koh Tao - where the majority of the workforce on that island were 95% from Myanmar / Burma. Here in Pattaya in the male massage industry there are numerous Laos and Cambodia guys. It would be nice if there were some Burmese - but there is a much larger concentration of them in Bangkok, as opposed to in Pattaya. Anybody know why that is ?

oh no Reader - you do not know what you are missing..... On average I have 2 to 3 four hand massages each week :>)) 6 and 8 hands are too much for me, as the fun part cums too soon, as it is HARD to stay calm and to breathe fast enough to avoid the inevitable, and to prolong the pleasure... 4 hands is a good compromise - because you have 2 free hands to reciprocate the pleasure

Try Twitter - I had to plan a 17 day trip down south to Songkhla province during the New Year's holiday and I did most of it via Twitter - by writing to random guys - gay, bi, or straight until I found 3 that would be my tour guide for these southern Thailand provinces and also for some fun. It took me around 3 months to find the right 3 after contacting around 35 of them.... It is hard work - but the rewards can be very exciting....

good point Olddaddy - after an argument with my ex boyfriend at around 2am in the morning, I had to walk home from up the hill towards the Supertown complex and I passed that soi dog area - there was only 1 growling and snarling at me and I shooed him away. But he went into the forest and brought 5 of his friends with him - 3 in front of me and 3 behind me and all growling and snarling ready to attack me. So, what did I do? I ran out into the Thappraya road traffic and the dogs did not follow me as the soi dogs fear Thappraya road - the cars swerved around me but I was not attacked and bitten. So, as you suggested - always walk on the non beach side of Thappraya road - as there are NO crazy soi dogs on that side of Thappraya road....

or perhaps because the majority of the bars follow the tired long time mantra of: farang sit and farang drink which gets to be very boring without some exciting innovations and/or entertainment and fun.......

That was Dorothy's Show bar on the ground floor and a related hotel on the upper floors.....but that is now closed as of 2 nights ago...

I do not know in which version of this Jomtien Complex map that I saw - perhaps in the Supertown version - there was once 35 bars listed. I believe that this most recent edition counts 33 - so, even though around 7 went out of business, it would seem that 5 of those 7 were already replaced. And, 1 more is on the way: replacement for Dorothy's Show Bar to be known as ??? So, even though it is the dreaded low season (from a cash flow point of view) the Complex seems to be holding up....

The only strategy to get a hunk in Pattaya, like you can easily find in Bangkok, is to wait at the toll booths that are just outside of Pattaya on the highway from Bangkok and try to commandeer one before he arrives into twink heaven Pattaya.

Wow. I am sorry that this happened to you. Often when I meet the local guys here in Pattaya, they often want to know when am I going to go back home to faranglandia. I always ask why? They reply, because they want me to bring them with me and they often get disappointed when I tell them that Thailand is now my home.
