OK I just googled Milo. I stand corrected. He qualifies, but only if he's lying down.

Fair enough. But if he's taller than me (5'10"), then he can't be a twink. It's all about me, you know... ;-)

I think the most underrated issue in growing old is community. It's vitally important to have a community of friends and neighbors. My Mom is 96 and living independently in Massachusetts. The closest of her three sons is a two and a half hour drive away. But she is not lonely. She has her garden, her cat, and lives in a seniors' neighborhood with wonderful neighbors who look out for each other. When she needs a ride to the doctor, she has one. When her forgetful friend Myrtle, 97, needs a ride to bingo, Mom reminds her that it's today, and drives her. Dear Husband wants to move to Thailand eventually. My one fear about it is not having that kind of community. It does seem though, that many of you living there have developed a pretty good group, but I think vinapu's comments also make a great deal of sense. By the way, Mom just renewed her driver's license. They gave her another five years, until she's 101!

I list for the skinny boys. The one on the right does it for me. But I wouldn't kick the one on the left out of bed. Also, there's height to consider. I think of twinks as shorter than average. "Boyish." Hard to think of a six foot guy, even a scrawny one, as a twink.

I think it's adorable, like when your fifteen year old nephew is trying to grow a moustache out of his peach fuzz.

Great report. Interesting stories about Nom and Beer. thanks for sharing it!

The best rates are at Superrich, according to Dear Husband. The green ones, not the orange ones.

Maybe you should gain bridge and marriage. Then you could be me! :-)

Hmm. I'll bet Marilyn didn't know either.

. "After the deed, paid his tips, and he asked where i stay, told him where and thats it. Now at hotel im thinking does that question a hint of more is available? " It might. I would have asked. You're too shy!

I like your attitude. :-)

Agree with the others. Interesting and thorough report. Thank you!

Nice boys, it seems. But gee, it's too bad they couldn't find any gay boys to play gay roles. I guess the gay actors are all busy playing straight roles. :-)

I'm confused about the tipping at Golden Cock. I've never been there but quite curious to try my next trip in December. Since there seems to be a lot of,um, "group work," does each guy get a full 1,000 for playing, or have I read somewhere 300-400? Obviously it could get quite expensive with three or four boys. What would you tip if: 1. You fondle and suck in the public area. 2. You fondle, kiss, and suck with one guy in the private area. He doesn't reciprocate. 3. Same as 2 but he does reciprocate. 4. You play with more than one in the private area. No recip 5. You play with more than one and one does suck but the others don't. 6. Same as above, but all "give and receive." I know I'm over-thinking this but just curious how you "veterans" respond.

Yes

I've never been to Golden Cock but my reading here suggests the boys there only receive oral but don't give. Am I wrong about that? If you like twinks, Zy massage is pretty reliable for oral service. Not all of them, but most are happy to oblige. The downside is that the place is pretty rundown and the showers are cold. But I'm always happy there, and the Ngam Duphli neighborhood is worth exploring on its own, a bit less frenetic than Silom. I like it. PM me for details, and names, of boys at Zy if you are interested.

Thanks for these very helpful reminders. I've had positive experiences on the apps, but quite limited. I haven't run into the fake photos problem yet, but these posts will make me more alert. Recently I've remade contact with a couple of massage boys who are no longer working in the business, but are happy to stop by my room for a nice 1000 baht short time. That's a nice way to go about it and get someone reliable, but you have to have a way to connect. They seem to like the LINE app.

Because it's fun!

Having a feeling you read that the rules were relaxed does not seem to me reason enough to take the risk. But the consequences might turn out to nothing on a domestic flight so maybe it won't matter. It's your choice of course, but why invite trouble when it's easy not to?

Why would anyone assume the rules are more relaxed for domestic flights? This seems like a no brainer to me. Assume the most strict rules and pack accordingly. It's not that difficult.

There's a new generation of young Thai gay men since I first visited LOS in 1990. Their values are different. They are not as obsessed with mimicking the West; their cultural self esteem has improved and this means they are attracted to each other more now, and attracted less to us. You can see this on line, where there are far more Asian models for a young Thai boy to emulate. Good for them. This is a very positive development for gay Thais. Can legal marriage, it is to be hoped including immigration rights for same sex couples, be far behind? But take heart! It only takes one at a time to make us happy (or 2-4 if you are numazu).

I think it's likely true. Some farang seem to think LOS=Land of Sex, anywhere anytime. Check out the men's room at Chatuchak Park some time. Some guys like the risk of public park sex, and some farang are stupid. Combine the two and anything can happen!

I lnow. Imagine the indignity of having to blow ME just to get a phone!

Good advice but there's more to it. He knew the phone was in my bag because it fell out while we were playing. I had scooped it up, put it back in the bag, zipped the bag, and put it on my back. He must have quietly unzipped the bag and taken it while I was going down on him. Multi-tasking. And I am grateful for the memory, the story to tell, and the better phone.

One day about five years ago, in a weak moment in Silom, I wandered into one of the many cruisy men's rooms in a department store. And there he was, hot sexy little man of my dreams. We ducked into a stall and I got, and gave, a fantastic blowjob. Later, I reached into my bag--cel phone gone! Aaargh, DH will kill me. But he didn't. And I still remember the blowjob, but can't remember the cel phone.
