Has COVID left Thailand? If not, wear a mask!

And for Brazilians, I found none were lacking skill,a bare few were not interested, most were excellent, and some were superb! They are manly too. Not that that is a requirement, but it does comport with a confident top. All of this in my opinion, of course.

The fact that Brazilian men are hotter and better in bed had me change my vacation plans!

I liked Austin Butler's performance. It must have been very difficult to pull off. Tom Hanks as the phony colonel was an impressive work, but I know so little about this crook that I could not say how accurate Hanks' performance was. Overall, a very enjoyable movie.

Lucky Boys not so lucky then.

I am watching it on HBO Max. I like it!

For me, the more interesting bucket lists are those that do not mention travel or sex.

I checked yesterday and coach fares were $2000 RT LAX/BKK. I priced a Business Class trip on American, with a stopover in Taipei, and it was $24,000, although that might have been First Class. Can you imagine the couple that would spend $50k RT to Asia? You could feed so many people for that.

Tom Hanks will always be Forrest Gump.

The OP never replied with a trip report and hasn't signed in here since July 1. When someone asks for info from other members, reporting back on your experience seems common courtesy.

Is it really boys that you are after?

I'd be happy to meet you, @fedssocrbecause i have always found your posts interesting. Nothing need come of it, just socializing with a fellow poster and Thai fan.

I read Bangkok Days yesterday and didn't like it very much. He writes about places that are off the beaten path, where they deserve to be because they are not interesting. He meanders all over the place. When he actually focuses, as in his trip to Hua Hin, he is interesting. So I went to Amazon to write my review and found that I had already reviewed the book 12 years ago! My opinion was almost exactly the same. Interesting that in reading it this week I remembered nothing from the first read. So, a forgettable book!

For someone who turns 58 today to refer to himself as "old" makes me wonder what he will think when he hits 70. Happy birthday @Olddaddy

Thanks for the recommendations on brunch, and thanks to @PeterRSfor reminding some that high tea is not brunch,

The Bangkok Tourism authority should be deeply grateful to @numazufor his efforts here which encourage people like me to return to Thailand.

I liked the buffet at Le Meridien and the W hotel.

My first trip to Thailand was in 1987. The baht was 22 to the dollar. A short time adventure was 400 baht. Even in 1998 the cost of a short time did not exceed $30. At least as I remember it.

If a guy is unwilling, I move on. I don't see an alternative.

I would enjoy hanging out with @floridarob.

Thank you, @JKane.

Especially when one is coming from the desert in SOCAL. Today 113, tomorrow 115. I always liked to go to Brazil in July or August.

This thread shows how far behind I am as I remember that there were no good places to stay in Jomtiem. It was for the gay beach only. When did it all change?
