For what it's worth, I purchased a 50 baht 12call "slip" at a 7/11 in Central Bangkok today. I'm none the wiser why they seem to be unavailable at some 7/11 stores in Bangkok...

Happy birthday, and have a nice trip to Thailand!

Considering that most Thai internet users aren't too keen to bother with pesky things like "settings", I'd say it's safe to assume that those who do make an effort to disable their guestbook have a pretty good reason for that. Just what reason it is, we cannot know. He might be a good guy who has been stalked or falsely accused (of theft, of having HIV, whatever) in his guestbook before. Or he might be a less-than-good guy and didn't like the fact that others told the truth about him.

If I were you, I would fly to Europe and overstay there instead. And here's why: Firstly, you can expect a much higher income in your line of work. Secondly, police won't bother to check your ID, as you neither look African nor Middle Eastern. They will be busy dealing with that lot for years to come. Thirdly, if caught nevertheless, you can delay your deportation to Singapore, and your flight back home will be paid for by your "host" country. It doesn't work that way in Thailand. If your problem in Singapore is serious, assault a police officer or prison guard while being held pending deportation, this will delay your return by a few more years. Do your homework, choose a country with cozy prisons (Norway? The Netherlands? Sweden?). More money and less hassle and a first world lifestyle like in Singapore. Filipinas are known to overstay for decades and send vast amounts of money back home.

You can always bring your own.

I'm sure a moderator can help with deleting if any of you bring this thread to their attention.

Well at the very least there are three different questions. First, is it a crime in the legal sense. Second, can it be proven in court. Third, how about the rule of law and the lack of legal bias in the country in question. Without going into detail, I think in Thailand it would be an exercise in futility. If someone claims their mother is sick and you want to help, ask for the hospital bill and settle it directly.

So how did this happen, xiluzer, did you share these photos privately with Alizizou and he posted them here?

Nice selection, I finally saw a Tawan boy I liked. Thank you.

It's called "forum" for a reason. If I feel like posting a reply, I post it, no matter if it's the kind of reply the thread starter is hoping for or not. A thread like the Tawan favorites one would be outright boring without a little bit of controversy, I think. Michael, as far as I'm concerned, please post the pussy! I haven't seen any since 2007 and my memories are starting to fade... Help me.

Disliking paid sex is legitimate, of course, but I don't get why you'd then expect to find "glitz and glamour" where that's on offer? That's a bit like a vegetarian saying, "I dislike eating meat but I love to visit slaughterhouses because I like to see animals", in my humble opinion.

I'd say he got a good deal, he left with 1000 baht. Not a bad business model for him if it works out like that more often than not.

This thread looks like a feeding frenzy, wow...

Thanks for the great reports, I enjoyed reading them a lot. Heck, even reading the criticism was fun, seeing a fossil with egg on his face isn't exactly an every day occurrence.

So how old is he, does anyone actually know?

I tend to agree with z909. When a pic of one of their stars was posted here a few days ago, I was quite disappointed - I had read his name many times and simply expected more. That said, I'm quite sure they have some guys I'd fancy. While the body builders do nothing for me, from reports they seem to have more regular, toned guys as well. Unfortunately, I've never seen a pic of one of them, while their famous body builders are all over the internet.

I think the confusing part might be that 7/11 offers three kinds of top-ups for one and the same service: a classic scratch card (obviously, whenever a certain denomination is sold out at a branch, it cannot be purchased at that branch anymore), what they call "slip" (a code printed on their regular cash register printer) and finally what they call "online" (you tell them your number, they top up your credit online). Maybe they've increased the minimum amount for "slip" to 300 baht and only offer "online" for lower amounts now? I'm using online banking as mentioned by Gaybutton, so that's just a guess.

What's all that Russia fear mongering about, aren't we past that since a good 25 years? May they waste their money on their military, as long as they don't use it. LOL.

The weather is very hot, temperature has picked up considerably in the last few weeks.

Have to agree, that area is one of the two major Songkran hotspots (the other one being Khaosan Road) in Bangkok. Definitely not the place to be if you don't like water battles.

Ha! I couldn't help thinking that, too.

muscfair, I'm sure that those who have said that Malaysia usually doesn't throw the book at gays who have sex in private had consensual sex between adults in mind. That a teacher who molests an 11 y.o. child should face punishment almost goes without saying, and it doesn't even have anything to do with "gay", since molesting a girl of the same age would be just as criminal.

I think important criteria are how often people come and for how long they stay. If a young Thai frequently visits Singapore and maxes out the time he's allowed to stay, it's a reasonable assumption that he either works there illegally or is wealthy enough that he doesn't need to work at all. I once knew a Thai girl who frequently freelanced in Singapore. After a number of trips, they questioned her and she was denied entry.

Having suffered through the trailer thrice, I think I will leave it at that.

Right, it's one of those laws they only enforce when they want to throw the book at someone. I've had great encounters in Malaysia and the guys I've met have been quite happy with their gay lives there. Not the best place to join a Gay Pride parade, granted, but hooking up and doing whatever you want to do in private isn't really a problem at all.
