I have 5 friends at this event and they are having a blast! Taiwan is great and their gay pride is always amazing.

Great reports! Loved reading of your adventures and also like how you number things. Makes it easy to follow.

There are always ways to alleviate the cost of hotels in the city. You can easily still find good deals on hotels and accommodations. Flights are also reasonable if you plan in advance and keep checking the sites often. I put a Google alert on the flight times I want and it always saves me money.

Vinapu, that is the way I read it. You can't argue with science!

Steven, the comments from Graham are disgusting. But, IMHO, there is something the President has on him to get him to be so subservient.

Friendships are much different that love relationships. IMHO I have many guys I am friends with that are escorts. Too many to count. And, some of them are my best friend. But, I also knew how to separate a friendship from a lover. I find compartmentalizing very easy.

I do remember. And, I like your mantra. I have one right now that is pulling at my heart strings. He speaks perfect English and is fun and kind. But, he has no tattoos. So, not good for me. I need a bit of a bad boy to capture my attention.

Not just Thailand. I know a guy who was moving to Brazil years ago to live with his number 1 and he got down there and the boy wanted to live with him but in a home near his mother in the flavela. Not my style. I mean this guy's style. But, stupidity seems to be rampant around the world. Still, I would have been very happy just waking up to him each day. He was a stunner and I think you would remember him if I found a picture.

I think you will have a hard time getting Whatsapp numbers from anyone. Most do not give that info out as the boys don't post online and unless you are known by the posters personally, it is hard for anyone to place trust in sharing numbers. Plus, none use Whatsapp. Most use Line. And, you will find what you want if you go early and start at Hotmale and then wander around. Also, post on www.gayguides.com as that is the new Gay Thailand and if posters are in town, many are happy to meet up and share info with you in person. The Agree. More do now than before. I have had many boyfriends in Thailand and all speak good English. Most didn't when I met them but they learned fast. I think many still do but they have had foreign boyfriends and thus they can speak English now. You will not get good English from a boy from the country who is new to town and many are looking for that. I much prefer someone experienced and can have a conversation with me.

You are wrong. Many of them do. Perhaps not the ones you want at that moment but you can always ask a mamasan who speaks good English. Or, go to Hot Male Bar (outside) and talk to the waiters there. You will find what you want. I have had 3 guys this week and all three spoke English. Well, two of them spoke great English and one just moaned yes, yes, yes. And, that was good enough for me. But, you will be able to find others that do speak English. It may take a night and then exploring the different bars. Don't get hung up on one place. If you want a tour guide, that is different. But, if you want a BFE, that will be easy here.

Loving The Godfather of Harlem. It is staring Forest Whitaker. It is based on the gangster Bumpy Johnson.

I just watched this again over the weekend. It was amazing.

He is batshit crazy.

Great photos and it looks like a lot of fun. Drew Dixon is hot!

Goodness, you can find them anywhere and you don't need to have one on your first day. Go to the bars and meet some guys and take one with you. Tell them what you want and they will help you have a great time. You can find some other places but IMHO, you should meet them first to see that you are a good fit.

LOL With that case of characters would there ever be any time for the boys to see others?

I see this all too often. I have been there myself. But, I always tell people that falling in love with an escort and wanting to spend time with then are two different things. It rarely ends well. A relationship built on money is most always about money. That is hard to overcome. Recently, I had a friend that was telling me he was in love with a guy he met at a bar and was moving to Thailand to be with him and set up a house near the boy's family. I can't really say much other than, "are you sure this is a good idea?" The boy is still working and I see him when I visit the bars. But, this friend thinks he is not going with customers and only working there to spend time with this friends. Hard to argue with someone in love. Is it worth it?

I tried watching this but the English speaking over the Spanish really gives me a headache.

I have it on my To Watch list but now you have said that, I'll move it forward. I just finished the whole The Ranch and liked it so I was looking for my next show to binge.

I do think some of the proposals being thrown out there are pipe dreams and will never see the light of day. I understand why they do it. They need to energize their base and when one wins, they will go to the center. I like Pete. He is consistent and level headed. (and gay)

It sucks they don't even give things a chance these days.

The Terracotta Warriors exhibit was amazing. It was small and not a great deal of warriors but the show was worth a visit. Crowds are huge so plan to spend some time there. And, be sure to visit the rest of the buildings that are a part of the museum.

I do think technologically the components are there, but no one is using it. I see this as the way of the future. For now, I want to see others do this and report back.

Not so fast. We don't know the full story yet.
