Yes, you are right. Not far from Tawan on the opposite side of street. It was a 10 min walk (max) to Roadhouse.

First, let me say, I miss Hero. More than most would imagine. I've visited Hero at least 200 times over the years and love it. But, alas, things change and I must either change or never get a happy ending. I went to Prince Massage in the Sathorn area this week. It was easy to get to with Uber and the driver took me right there. Coming home, no Uber available so I used Grab Taxi and waited 7 minutes before he arrived. I love using both of these services. Prince is very clean and there was a beautiful array of boys. I found a small, six pack boy named Po. I chose a 1.5 hour massage in VIP room. Cost 1500 baht plus 1500 baht tip to boy minimum. The room was nice with a Jacuzzi. I chose not to use the Jacuzzi as the bathroom smelled like sewage. I chose the wrong room for sure as it was a corner room and did not want to shower there but had to. I'll most likely not try the VIP room in the future as it was 500 bath more than standard room and not worth it IMHO. Po was a sexy boy from Myanmar. I'd rate his massage 4/10 and the happy ending 3/10. Both are generous ratings. I was told he could do everything but in the end very little. I doubt I'll believe the mamasan again. But, at the same time, sometimes things just don't click between two people and this was one of those times. I left unsatisfied but with an orgasm. I think I'd have enjoyed jacking off to porn a bit more but that is what it is. I have had this happy in the past, very few times at Hero, but if the massage is great, I'll deal with it. When the mamasan asked if the massage was good, I said just OK. She asked about the boy and I said just OK. She asked about her recommendation and I said, "not good." No tip for mamasan and that is very unusual for me. Also, I did see several boys from Hero there. Prince is very nice place. Beautiful interior and nice rooms. The rooms were clean and shiny. My particular room smelled in the bathroom only so I am not sure if just that room or others. Wait staff was friendly. Overall, a very comfortable place. And, while I did not enjoy my experience, I'll give it another try but will spend more time talking to boy first before the massage instead of relying on mamasan. I also think the mamasan at Hero knew me and always steered me right. I don't yet have that relationship with anyone at Prince. So, give The Prince, gay massage in Bangkok with happy ending service a try. Let me know if your experience is different. I'll also give another test run in Bangkok before I just stick to lady massages with no release and 10 percent of the cash invested.

I went out last night to eat at The Smokin' Pig. It was closed but still wanted ribs so I wanted to the rib place at the end of Suriwong. As I walked, it was pretty errie. The streets were quite and Soi Twilight was black and dark. It was a very somber mood. After eating dinner at Roadhouse BBQ, we walked back to the Patpong Night Market and it was also very quiet. First time I have been there in ages. But, I have never been there when things were this quite and walking down the isles and no one bumping into you. On the BTS, the mood is very somber as well. As foreigners, we need to respect their grief and being loud and partying right now is not acceptable. There were a few groups of foreigners that were very loud on the BTS, and they were getting stares and scolding eyes. I was a bit embarrassed. At Roadhouse, we were there for 1.5 hours. No liquor sales allowed. And, we were the only customers. First time I have been there where I had the place to myself as well.

Friends have been telling me to try this place so last night I took a trip there to test. Unfortunately, it is closed for the entire month of October. So, I could not test it out. But, I wish I had know this before hand. I should have called them ahead of time. But, just so you all know, it is closed this month so don't try to go.

Graves is quite good. It looks like it might be a fun ride. I like the lead actors Nick Nolte and Sela Ward.

It is official. The beloved King of Thailand has died. The Royal Household Bureau announced.

Wow. Sad. But, not unexpected. They do great at Meio Mundo. I hope they keep that up!

Timeless is another interesting SciFi show. It is about a group that can travel in time. Not sure the full plot of things yet but the pilot was just OK.

BigK, I think you are right. So far, Designated Survivor is still leading the pack for me. Every time my Thai BF sees the actor he says, "Jack Bauer to save the world?" I say, "Yes."

Another option is Conviction. It is not getting rave reviews but I liked the main actress and I think the show has a chance to be good. I also liked the sexy Latin guy holding hands with another dude !

Westworld also looks like a lot of fun. Anthony Hopkins leads an all star case. The story is is by J.J. Abrams. Westworld is an amusement park for rich folks. The hosts are robotic "hosts" -- allows its visitors to live out their fantasies through artificial consciousness. The fantasies are often quite hardcore. I found the first episode enjoyable, a bit odd and perhaps great potential. The cast with Hopkins and Ed Harris is surely just one reason to give it a try!

Speechless is a lot of fun as well. Minnie Driver as Maya DiMeo, the mother, is great. She is so fun to watch. The story is about a family that is a bit quirky and the oldest son has Cerebral Palsy. The cast works well together and I have enjoyed it.

I would agree that it is the best in South America! http://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-travel/rio-voted-south-americas-best-lgbt-beach-destination/#

I believe I wrote back last year how much I enjoyed Istanbul. I had a blast there and the gay apps were great. I had lots of sex but most for free. Some would propose money for modest amounts and that was OK for me as well. Just read this article on the changing escort scene in Turkey and found it fascinating. http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2016/09/turkey-changing-face-of-sex-industry-services.html

Although this article is mostly about non-gay strippers, I found it very interesting to read! http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/we-talked-to-montreals-male-strippers-about-their-female-clients-and-druggy-co-workers

The new James Franco movie with Christian Slater about the underworld of gay porn back many years ago is now got a full trailer. If you remember the story, this was a murder mystery based on real people. I know many of them in a former life when I was in NYC. The movie looks interesting. Can't wait to see it.

Having know many of these guys in a past life, this movie looks interesting.

LOL They don't remember the name of the place!

I had friends that went to these fish farms and caught enormously large fish. It was a great photo op. Does anyone have one outside of Bangkok they can recommend?

BigK, I enjoyed it as well. In fact, when I was watching it, my BF said, "Is Jack Bauer back?" I said no, he was not the President. LOL

A bit more off topic. In Brazil, I had a boy staying with me who was very possessive even thought we had 3 ways and 4 ways daily. But, we were at a disco and dancing and this cute guy comes over to me to dance with me. My boy hauls off and starts to beat him. He felt like the boy was invading his territory. It was so sad. And, hot. I think we fucked in the bathroom of the disco 20 min later. And, at the hotel that night. Needless to say, some boys can be possessive when they feel their bread winner might be snapped away.

I have been lucky in that regard. But, I think part of my success is giving boys the freedom to be with me and have their own life. Most farangs want boys to only be with them and make them their life. I have never done that and both of my boys (over 12 years) have LTR with ladies. I have met them, hung out with them and support them. It doesn't work for everyone but for me it works well. There are tons of boys out there. They are looking for good farangs who do not want to change them. Love them and they will love you in return. But, love them without expecting them to change.
