I used to remember your in depth reports of " dust on top of the wardrobe" in one place in dongtan beach ,oh must be 15 years ago ? I have added your link,love the report of the Thai blind massage 👍👍 I am flatterred (insert deep japanese bow). My life was not so dramatic. Yes there was a long hiatus when I couldn't travel much because I had to care for aging parents, oddly enough, similar to the very topic being discussed here. After that issue resolved itself, I found myself working flat out with little free time until I had had enough and quit. I will resurrect my report on Bondi hotel on Dongtan beach just for kicks. The hotel's long gone. TotallyOz, GWMinUS, Olddaddy and 1 other 3 1 Quote
macaroni21 Posted August 15, 2022 Posted August 15, 2022 Alrighty, for Olddaddy, here's the revived post about the erstwhile Bondi Guest House: https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/2022/08/15/beachside-hotel-if-beachside-is-really-important-to-you/ Strangely, what I remember most about that one stay in that hotel was the great fuck that I had with a boy I brought back from Boyztown. 🤣 Never mind the filth... so long as the sex is good. kjun12, TotallyOz and vinapu 1 2 Quote

Your comment reminded me a scene from Tawan from few years ago. Very old and frail gentleman aided by walker and few Tawan own boys showed up and sat down inviting boys to come and let him a feel of their jewels for a tip. His face expression was one of happiness I remember to this day. It was actually quite spirit uplifting floridarob, Ruthrieston and fedssocr 3 Quote

As far as "hit on" he literally did like to punch his lad in the abdomen which amused him. The lad was given warnings of the upcoming punch. vinapu and Olddaddy 1 1 Quote

His facility also has half a dozen daily return minibus trips in to Chiang Mai. Best of all the all-in monthly cost is far lower than he expected. I'm not sure of the exact price but will post it when I next speak to him. My friend pays 34,000 baht for his room at the care home. This includes single room with en suite, all meals (western and Thai), laundry and room cleaning service and on call medical familities. In addition his medications cost around 6,500 baht per month. vinapu, splinter1949, WelshGuyUK and 1 other 2 2 Quote
Members scott456 Posted August 18, 2022 Members Posted August 18, 2022 Who is managing the person's financial and healthcare affairs? I mean in the traditional setting where the person has family, the family usually manage the financial affairs, and coordinate the person healthcare, ie, looking for appropriate doctors, making deposit, paying the bills, and lot of medical treatments require consents. All these small things add up, some seniors are just not capable of doing all by himself. Olddaddy 1 Quote

All these small things add up, some seniors are just not capable of doing all by himself. With respect, I don't think that this is of anyone's interest. All I will say is that this Thai man is not a visitor or a sex tourist. He has spent all his life living in Thailand apart from vacations and business travel. As with most people living in their own home country, he has close friends. One whom he trusts implicitly having known her and her family for six or seven decades looks after his legal affairs as well as his funds and allocates them appropriately. scott456 and Olddaddy 2 Quote
