kokopelli Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Thanks to all of those posters who gave a "like" to my earlier post. I thought it obvious that Michael's initial post was to show respect and offer condolences on the passing of His Majesty, nothing more and nothing less.
Guest rappa999 Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 You make so many ridiculous statements, it is hard to keep up with them. I certainly come here for the cute available cheap sex but over 15 years I have come to realize just how important the King was to the Thai people. Far too many reasons that I don't understand fully but I recognize the love and the feeling of loss that all Thai people feel. As far as cheap available Sex not being comparable anywhere else in the world, you probably better travel more. Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia and many other Asian countries where it is just as available and if not quite as cheap that the distances to travel are much shorter and cheaper. Now if you wanted to preface your argument regarding those that like Rice Queens make a slight bit truer. But then Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Vietnam , Bali and more all fit the bill. So basically your argument is ridiculous! ok sorry for being ridiculous I must have imagined reading numerous posts about you guys putting your cock up young thai guy's arses bragging about your conquests and discussing how little you pay these young guys for this. I'm not being ridiculous, the sanctimonious guys on here are being ridiculous, this is a forum for gay sex and prostitution in Thailand, it's not about Thailand, it's people or it's culture, you'll get that on other forums, stop pretending your such nice considerate guys, it's all about sex, stop pretending otherwise. to criticise posters for posting comments on "topics" about the very reason this forum exists is ridiculous firecat69 I've enjoyed reading your posts and adventures, you're a sex maniac!, you've had so much fun exploiting thailand and it's young male population, good for you, no one's getting hurt, keep having your fun which in the west would have people crossing the street to avoid you, of course I'm sure you do no harm and the young thai guys you use as prostitutes have fun too? I will post no more on this but to the guys on here who think you should not be concerned about the sad events impact on their holiday and/or regular Thailand activities can have a reality check, we're all sex tourists and that is why we come on to this site, just because the nation we visit for our sex tourism has just had their saddest day in 80 years doesn't change that fact, maybe the sad events will make you have a re-think about your lurid activities? if so I'm sure you'll find many travel forums with all the Thai culture you wish to read about?..........I think not!
abidismaili Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia and many other Asian countries where it is just as available and if not quite as cheap that the distances to travel are much shorter and cheaper. How to get boys there? Only via the apps, or like Thailand they have venues for this too, think of go go bars. Or in a country like Colombia you must rely on the gay dating apps to spot a twink escort?
Popular Post Moses Posted October 14, 2016 Popular Post Posted October 14, 2016 BANGKOK — In the wake of His Majesty King Bhumibol’s death Thursday, the authorities have called for 30 days without entertainment.

Beam and Demo in Thonglor, Levels and Sugar in Nana and Silom’s Whiteline announced they were closed until further notice. Bars While bars will be allowed to operate, they must close at 1am and no types of parties will be tolerated within them, Thanakorn Kuptajit of the Thai Alcohol Beverage Business Association said. However some bars will be closed this weekend, so again — check ahead. TV Although the junta is returning broadcasting authority to the stations at midnight, there will be limitations on what can be shown, with no entertainment programs allowed.

bkkguy Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 Really good to get such practical information. I am sure the original author and publisher thought so too that's why they put in the research effort rather than just copy/paste from someone else - obviously Moses has a different interpretation of Khaosod's claim to copyright than I do bkkguy
Guest abang1961 Posted October 14, 2016 Posted October 14, 2016 I/We need to salute the Thais for their outpouring of emotions over the loss of their beloved KING. Over here in Singapore, the Thai embassy remains open for those who want to pay their last respects for this very MAN. May his soul rest in peace forever and may the Thais recover from this imminent death swiftly. One question: I've heard that there is a 30 day blanket ban on entertainment..how true is it?

Or in a country like Colombia you must rely on the gay dating apps to spot a twink escort? Colombia has Massage places doubt if they have GoGo but they certainly have gay bars. Been 2 years since I visited who knows what else has popped up.

As this is mainly reporting closues of "straight" entertainment, I guess I'll find out monday, which bars etc. in Silom are open oder closed. I'm scheduled to arrive in BKK on monday and was planning to visit Soi 4 with my boyfriend.

May his soul rest in peace forever and may the Thais recover from this imminent death swiftly. I am surprised how little attention the death of the King has had in the US. Maybe we are all embroiled in the Donald Trump phenomenon, but I read about the King yesterday in the paper... on page eight! Also I saw nothing of him on the main page of news websites. I feel of course sadness for the King and sympathy with the Thai people, but I see nothing wrong in being concerned mainly about the Thai sex industry. If it comes down to sympathy, I think the people in Syria deserve some more, but we don't need to tell this to the Thai. vinapu and kokopelli 2

fedssocr Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 I'm not surprised. We don't do world news here very well here in the USA. Not even a mention on the ABC "World" News last night. BBC World has been on the story much more thoroughly, but of course most Americans don't watch that either.
Up2u Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 News of the King's passing was on the front page of the New York Times but not quite as a headline. CNN had a "live" reporter at the hospital during the vigil and his death conducting interviews. This was a big news story here in Asia.

emailbroken Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 but you do know the source you got it from even if you don't know the original source so mention that rather than try to pass off as your own bkkguy It was useful information, regardless of the source. No need to treat it like a plagarised thesis. DivineMadman, vinapu and KhorTose 3
Moses Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 but you do know the source you got it from even if you don't know the original source so mention that Ah, you know everything! And you so sure that my source will be unbelievable happy to be mentioned at gay website, right?
Guest ronnie4you Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Saturday's NY Times had lengthy article on The King's passing, and another article on the Crown Prince that would probably not be printed in Thailand.
KhorTose Posted October 15, 2016 Posted October 15, 2016 Ah, you know everything! And you so sure that my source will be unbelievable happy to be mentioned at gay website, right? How sad, your source must be a gay man living in the Russian Federation. Try using Unknown when it is obvious that something is a repost, I agree with emailbroken this is a tempest in a teapot in that I, unlike BKK, do not in anyway think you posted this to take personal credit for it. Just a mistake. Please keep posting things you think we might like to read.
emailbroken Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 Again, it would be really useful if people could post info on what's open and what isn't in an appropriate way.
ggobkk Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 The NY Times articles and obituary on the King have been positive and generous. The one on the Crown Prince is for reading and not posting if one wishes to avoid breaking the law. kokopelli 1
Guest FossilGay Posted October 16, 2016 Posted October 16, 2016 May his soul rest in peace forever and may the Thais recover from this imminent death swiftly. Imminent death? Sigh...I've been waiting for your "imminent intelligence" for a long time...
