Since we have noved to a new hotel near (somewhat) the old Prince Sauna, can anyone tell me if a) it is still open, and b) is it worthwhile?

Well I landed in Medellin a city of webcam boys and dreams. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to hook up with any of the web cam boys I had chatted with and as it’s a business trip didn’t have as much time as I would have liked to explore. Now the ups ! Oh there were plenty of those ! Saunas ! Only tried 2 and that was Barbacoas friendly doorman but not busy and the one guy I would have tumbled with was occupied ! Tobi ! Not sure where all the movie stars were when I visited but neither visit had them. 1st visit met a lovely straight gay for pay Venezuelan and although he was a looker more of a boy next door and didn’t want to do much gay for his pay. The next visit met a lovely guy who the ever so friendly Hugo TIPS TIPS the bar tender introduced me to. He came back to my hotel and I fucked him all night for free ! Another Venezuelan ! I proved very popular on Grindr and blocked many more than I met off there but the couple I met were hot and did what they said on the tin ! One word of caution ask for a current clear photo ! They are keen on using photos that represent what they would like to look like and many many ended up blocked ! Fercho ! What can I say ! Found them via a post on here sent them a watts app message and within 30 minutes had a who range of photos of the boys ! The main man was very responsive to my messages and requirements and within 2 hours I was in my kind of heaven. I live a bar full of boys I can watch and discover a little more about before making my choice. On this occasions there was nothing that Floated my boat on site but after a quick cruise through his brochure ( a mass of photos on his phone) I was soon joined by a hot hung completely complaint webcam model who I spent an amazing time with. Contrary to previous posts they do have showers and although this is no classy high end bar it is a really local fun place with lovely helpful people and they always make sure they book you a taxi and log the number for your safety. Went back the next night and found a very lovely butch little number that was happy to be my bottom ! And then unfortunately I had to leave. Fill your boots be careful but don’t be afraid and to clear up another question on everyone’s lips ! When the guys use the $ sign as is $100 it’s the same as we use the K for thousand so $100 is 100,000 pesos ! Always check as there I’ll always be a chance but even hotels advertise there room rates with the $ sign and the hotels I’ve stayed certainly weren’t $2500 (usd)

Questions for a Trip to Brazil Fall 2018 I know various members have provided thoughts in different postings, but not always cohesive nor in agreement. Is it too cold for the beach now? Is it easy to meet new “friends” at the beach, and is it too dangerous to trust such new friends wherever you go to play? At saunas, seems like most programmas are around 100 R$. Is 150R$ reasonable if both of us have a happy ending and maybe have some kink too? For Brazil, do folks use sex hotels rather than pay for play saunas? Are they much more expensive than the costs of a sauna? Maybe less of a bother than to have the boy at a hotel and less of a risk of theft too. I did see posting regarding the Atlantico Hotel and being able to have guests there. If you are really horny, do you find escorts on the grindr, adam4adam, scruff, etc phone apps? Other apps to use? Saw some website listings like rentmen.com too. Given the postings about how late the boys sometimes arrive, if they arrive, are the saunas usually a better choice? I saw postings for a few porn theatres in Cinelandia and Centro. They also noted a lack of quality. Are these mostly for horny local guys and not so much the paid boys? Many postings on the saunas. In Europe saunas tend to get busy around 1500-2000 hrs. Is this also true in Brazil, as no one seems to mention late action? Which days or nights are best for Manhattan, Meio Mundo (?Monday), 117, and Pointe? Some varied opinions perhaps due age of the posts. Are there other saunas, perhaps more geared for locals or those of us who speak some Portuguese? Is Le Boy a sauna, a disco, or both? If it has a sauna now, is it a regular sauna or a pay for play sauna (?both)? Saw postings about the scene, or lack thereof, at Corujina. Are there other “hangouts”? Postings about afternoon drink places for Ipanema seemed near the Hotel Vermont. Are there others that are good to make new friends (normal or paid)? Late night club scene seems to vary, so maybe have to check in the days just before the trip. Lapa seems to be a good place on Friday and Saturday night for regular fun and drinking, based on postings elsewhere. Any other thoughts? Found lots of info elsewhere for daytime trips and for local cities less than a day away by bus. But not much info for the gay scenes in smaller places like Parati, Buzios, Tiradentes, and Belo Horizonte. Seems like most folks not on a business trip are not keen on Sao Paolo. Iguassu might be too far for a brief trip. For food, lots of postings elsewhere about the fruit, steak places, and the like. Any particularly good ones for a gay clientele?

I have seen varying recommendations for the best time to head to the saunas. When I am visiting Rio, I typically spend the day on the beach, have a light dinner, then head to the saunas, maybe arriving around 6 or 7 pm. There are often many guys there working at that time, and some of them head out after scoring with a single client., but others will hang around all night and try to hook up with 5 or 6 or more clients. I'm curious what the recommendations of other users are. My experience has shown that there are many factors to consider. One is your own energy level, especially considering your alcohol intake. I enjoy drinking on the beach, and I usually imbibe when I am at the saunas, so (for me, at least) that's a factor. Another is the availability of the guys, and their individual situations: many of them will hang out all night, looking to score multiple times, while others will score once and head home. Several times I have arrived, only to see very hot guys heading out the door. Yet another wrinkle is cumming. I have had guys tell me that they can't afford to cum yet, because they want to hang around for several more hours and make more money, so they want a bump in pay if you want them to shoot earlier in the evening (and, correspondingly, I have found that guys are more willing to cum later in the evening, when they figure they can make me their last client, and head home after. This discussion is, of course, very circumstantial. Bottom/top/straight/gay/single/married...all of this has the potential to affect their mood and their availability. I'm simply curious about the recommendations/experiences of other veterans as to the best time to arrive at the saunas. I sometimes think maybe I arrive too late.

Thanks to the resolution of reasons for canceling a trip to BKK I had planned for these days, and thanks to waiting to cancel room reservations until he last minute, here I am for Songkran. I arrived in BKK Saturday 9 early in the morning after a good flight from Texas with scale in Germany (Munich). It had been over a year since my last flight with United Airlines, and I thought at the time that their service could not get any worst. I was wrong. Their food now may not be touched by the inmates in a prison, so poor it is. By contrast, the food in my second flight with Thai Airways was delicious. From the airport, the city link train, the MRT and a brisk walk from Lumpini to Babilon Sauna got me checked-in in my room in the barracks at about 9AM. I immediately went for the communal breakfast, where I met some fellow gay travelers from previous visits and got updated on the BKK scene. Saturday: On this Saturday evening I visited the sauna DejaVu, for its weekly “fucking party”. Again a healthy walk to the MRT Lumpini station, exiting at Lat Parao and taking a bus along this main avenue until Soi 122 got me there. On these nude days no towels are given out and everyone including the staff is nude throughout the place. I think this is the optimum rapport for a gay sauna. After an interesting early playing around, by the time the “fucking party” started, a good crowd of Asians in their 20s, 30s with a few older than that including me, gathered around the fuckers. This fucking was not the exciting part, but my turn on was from the line of young Thais following this act as if this was something special, and the whole group got busy with gropings and blow jobs to the tune of the moaning by the fuckers. When my attention switched from this activity I was involved in, the group was dissipating and moving to the upper floor of maze and rooms. There I played repeatedly with exactly the bodies I liked and after successful consummation I left the place with the action still going on strong. I plan to return there next week for a similar night one day before my return trip. Sunday: After long communal breakfast, siesta, workout at the sauna, dinner at the sauna, I made a pleasant evening walk to Sauna Mania, who had their nude night. This was a repetition of the experience the day before at DejaVu, minus the “fucking show”. It was very good, although with the lack of available rooms I had to content myself with ending the evening with BJs. If it would be worth, my complaint of Sauna Mania would focus on the age discrimination policy they copied from R3, which is their sister company, that charges higher entrance fee to those over fifty. But to pay 300 baht instead of 200 is still a steal for all that fun for less than 10 US$! Monday, Tuesday: In anticipation of Songkran I kept a low activity these two days, spent mostly at the Babylon complex except for some shopping trips and a stroll in the evening to Silom soi 4 with some sauna peers for eye-candy watching. Sitting at a bar outside we engaged in a shameless evaluation of the male bodies strolling in front of us, which these bodies of course liked. I cannot do this kind of thing in my home town, haha. These two days I got plenty of action at Babylon itself, which I'm glad to say was at a level that makes the visit to other saunas redundant. I like the mix of old and young, the old to have interesting conversations at the side of the pool and in the restaurant, the young to have good sex at the cruising areas. Since they opened this small nude orgy section downstairs from the main cruising area they are now at par with the other hot saunas. One reads reviews of Babylon that are critical of its “boring lack of excitement”, and I really don't know what they are talking about. It is now Wednesday early morning, and I will see what this day will bring about. Judging from the preparations here, it will be great!
