There was a cruising place there with an interesting set-up. They had a wall with glory holes. The guys standing there were about three or four feet higher than the guys standing on a sunken floor on the other side so their heads (mouths) were at about the same height as the dicks sticking out through the holes. I quite liked it.

Similar to Steamworks Baths in Chicago.

I thought it was a marvel of engineering and ingenuity when I saw the one in Australia. It works well.

"Slurp Ramps", I think they're called.  I'd visit Steamworks when I lived in Chicago.  Cock, for days!    Maybe 30 "holes' guys would stick cocks into.  If you couldn't get blown, or blow ... there was something wrong with you.  There are other slurp ramps in that baths, but the one where wanna-be recipients of blow jobs are on an elevated platform ... is unusual for gay baths, from my experience.

Although no slurp ramps, when I speak of gay baths I'm always drawn to fond memories of Babylon Baths in Bangkok ... years ago.  Visiting Babylon was a joyous experience!

I may have gone there about 15 years ago. Was it a fancy looking multi-level place?

Yes.  It was considered at the time, the standard by which all gay baths were judged by.

Back to the OQ: just as vinapu I live in EUR, also hold a small condo, all paid out of sale of larger aprtmt in a wanted city, since retirement (pension for some, double in my case, and no rent/mortgage) close by to rest of family and adapted to seniors.

Have visited Th nearly some 100 times, partly due also to work and once lived there for over 1 yr-thru all the seasons. have also visited through some 30 yrs all TH provinces and rode about the whole of this crumbling museum on rails called SRT. And flown on some 11+ local airlines. Also visited all neighboring countries, best loved remains INDOnesia forever, with Malaysia also nice. Speak-after being re-settled again when returning-reasonable Thai and can read-slowly-basic signs etc. My bahasa is far better. It is due to that 1 yr I´ve long time ago made decision to not settle there -just long time visits in EUR winter=when it is in Th also cool season and best bearable. That was a steady rhythm till covid struck-I returned on 20-3-20, just the day when all the blackouts and isolations started etc. Could not return (well, as vinapu I could have done, but I found the rules too much hassle for it, but have booked last week to go nov. for the max 45 days now allowed).

Last yrs I comfortly stayed in BKK and have explored that city till its outer areas. Plan to do that again and now-since some 22 yrs-also dip my toe in the dirty seawaters of Jomtien-just to see if I can stand it and if it offers more as BKK has. I am not a beach type at all (home is about 5 kms away from sea) and PTY for me, as I remember it, had very little to do in normal daytime activities.

My situation is somewhat similar to @vaughn - Australia, in my 30's, comfortable life, with a kinda specialised field. In the next few years I hope to have a year off from 'life' and have a go at living in Thailand, learning the language and whatnot. Then can decide if I want to stay and find a job, or try another country, possibly China or Singapore. It would involve giving up my comfortable life, but I really just want to do something else for a while as I've never experienced living or working anywhere else in the world. I can always come back if it all goes to shit. 

Can't believe so many are from WA. I recommend you try China.
