A Gallup poll shows that as his LGBT-friendly image slowly falls away, the Pope is quickly losing favor with the general public in the West. The percentage of Americans who see the Pope in a favorable light has dropped from 76 percent in February 2014, to just 59 percent this month. Meanwhile, there has been a sharp rise in those who disapprove of the Pope – from 9 percent to 16 percent. Among liberals his approval rating was down 14 points to 68 percent – while among conservatives it was down further, dropping 27 points to 45 percent. http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2015/07/25/popes-approval-rating-plummets-as-gay-friendly-image-wears-off/?utm_source=PNFB&utm_medium=socialFB&utm_campaign=PNFacebook

I think there is a difference between a bitch board and letting adults settle a dispute. But, at the same time, there must be some respect to other views from all members and when this is not happening a moderator needs to step in and ask for everyone to calm down. I don't think banning members and closing threads should be the first step or even the 8th step, but I do think it should be left in the equation.

I did not want competition. I kept him secluded in my hotel for weeks at a time. How are you? Have you been to Brazil or Cuba lately? Tell us some of your adventures.

That is fucking awesome! For Thailand, it is also very strong.

I love the shower scene in most of the saunas. Esp. the one at Lagoa where you can actually see them inside. I don't pay much attention to those damn Americans when they go inside. In fact, I have a pair of rose colored glasses that filters out all those over the age of 30. They often come in handy at saunas but it causes my friends to think I'm ignoring them when we go to dinner.

I really enjoy Cambodia and have been to Phenom Phen several times. They have some good hotels and good places to eat. It is slower paced than Bangkok but I still think a lovely city. There are tons of gay guys that are available. You will have to search a bit harder to find them but the gay bars are a good place to start. I have always just found them walking around. Like Thailand, just smile and they will chat with you. But, Firecat is right, it does not compare to the scene in Bangkok. However, it is fun and enjoyable.

Thank you for this. I look forward to seeing this. As I am not in Thailand now, does anyone know if this will be in USA?

I was also pretty disappointed with their 10th Anniversary show. Not as much dancing as I wanted to see and none of my favorite routines. Where were the hot sexy gay boys?

I like looking at him and Asaf.

Jim is simply magic with his legs. I think amazing. I do not like the way they kept telling Moises to "man up." I think that hurts him on this show and the reason he was in the bottom. Plus, it is just a shitty thing to say. IMHO

A very interesting story. I did find it interesting the Thai lady said that she didn't know they were not a "normal" couple. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3167994/Gay-fathers-battle-leave-Thailand-surrogate-baby-daughter-mother-says-not-normal-couple-refuses-let-child-passport.html

Wonderful thread. Great photos and excellent report.

This really sucks. I am sorry this has happened Tom. I hope this was an accident but I can't imagine someone doing this by accident. I hope that you get an apology.

I finally got my Magic Jack SMS working. I needed this and am glad it is finally working OK. Sometimes you need an SMS for places (like gmail accounts) and it is good that this works on their app now.

Is this a bar only for tourists or those recently located to Pattaya? (New Queens)

I had no desire to watch this until it was nominated for so many awards. This week I started watching it on Amazon as it is part of my Prime package. I have found it suprisingly entertaining and beautiful. Has anyone else watched this?

So sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and I hope you are on the road to recovery.

Thank you for the update. 60R is a lot of money when the majority of it is being paid by locals. That is just the entrance and then you have the drinks, the boys, the rooms, etc. It can be an expensive night. I do hope his cash only policy stays in place.

I am glad you didn't listen to them. But, when you are in a public area, you deal with all types of people and everyone that is successful learns to navigate them. I have enjoyed your posts a great deal. I agree with MVan1, if you go again another day it may be great. But, for me, I only need one amazing guy and I am all set and happy. LOL

Here is where I found one years back. http://www.gaythailand.com/forums/topic/5927-fly-now-outlet-in-pattaya/?hl=mattress

One of my favorite TV shows of all time is returning this fall. I can't wait! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FLHB2zB_cA

His account here is as an escort. That is what he registered as and I am glad we have escorts posting here. I also ran an agency in NYC for years and many of my guys hired on a regular basis and I had 4 of them that traveled with me to Thailand and they all partook in the Thai moneyboy scene as clients. http://www.boytoy.com/boytoy-profile/Badboy81/
