The "Thai Puan" magazine map lists only 2 massage places in Pattaya; 1 in Sunee Plaza (All of me) and 1 in Boyztown (Boyz massage). Can this be true, only two all of Pattaya?

I echo Vinapu's last post for I am eagerly awaiting your comments about your recent trip to Chiang Mai. I am contemplating a visit the city in three weeks and the various posts very helpful.

Vinapu, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! After reading your post, I laughed so hard that tears came to my eyes. You made my day. Keep up the good works.

I have noticed that the guys at the massage places in Thailand and Taipei focus a large amount of time massaging the back of the legs before massaging other parts of the body. During this trip to Thailand, I have actually started timing the guys and WITHOUT EXCEPTION every guy focuses on the back of the legs for 70% or more of the time and then move on to other parts of the body. In Europe, Brazil, Argentina, and Costa Rica, the guys focus more on the back torso, the neck, the arms and then move on to the legs. Personally I find the latter technique far more relaxing. Any opinions as to why the guys in Thailand and Taipei focus primarily on the back of the legs during a message session? Four different times I asked the guys NOT to massage the legs and each of them was at a lost as to how to begin the massage session: I thought that was funny. Nevertheless, I am just curious; any comments?

Moses, the photo of the pool area is beautiful. What is the name of the hotel?

Of course every city in the world is uniquely different than the other. Bangkok is no, São Paulo, Barcelona, Berlin, etc. etc. Each city is uniquely different with a few similar aspects. For me, I find Bangkok to be very exciting with a multitude of massage parlors, great places to eat, a good mass transit system, with an exciting vibrant gay night life: emphasis on the latter. Now, knowing what I like, which country would be better for me to visit, Cambodia or Vietnam? Remember, every city is uniquely different, and I do not expect to find Bangkok in either country. For what I like, any suggestions for Cambodia vs Vietnam?

Seeking information on alternate transportation from the International airport to the hotel. The last two trips I stayed at the Tarntawan Place and their limo service met me at the airport; a cost of 1500-1800. This trip I will be staying at another hotel in the Silom/Sathorn area. What is the approximate cost of taking a taxi from the International airport to the Silom area? Any suggestions on taxi companies and their location at the airport? The flight arrives at 11:00 that night. Does the Metro run that late? Is it easy to find the Metro at the airport and ride it to the Silo area?

Thanks to everyone for your comments. I will not be using my phone to make any telephone calls, only to access the Internet. Keep the comments coming!

Does anyone have any experience or information on obtaining a card for connecting your cell phone to the internet? In reading hotel reviews, I see that many hotels have very poor, if any, Internet connection. Having a card to connect the cell phone to the Internet would alleviate the problem of poor Internet connection at hotels.

On Thai Massage Boy top 100, The Prince and The V Club have more boys listed than any other massage places. Boys #1 (Top) and #2 (Kid2) are from V Club. Has anyone had a session with either of them? If so, are they a top, bottom, or both? The guys are handsome, but performance is more important to me than looks.

Is the Yunomori Onsen Japanese Spa all male or mixed? Any information about happy endings?

Thanks Anddy. I have Line on my phone, but I am not familiar with "Line Group". How does it work?

Thanks for the reply. Before I received frequent emails from them which mainly were photos of new guys at different spas. Since January of this year I have not received any emails from them, so I was wondering if they were still in business. Again, thanks for the info.

Whatever happened to Thai Massage Boy site? No notices nor postings from them since January of this year.

Earlier this year I was in Seoul for a week, and I do not plan to visit Korea again! To begin with, the people in Seoul are not very friendly. At 2 gay bars I was asked to leave because I am not Korean. I visited three different massage places, including the Parks. The facilities were quite nice; large spacious apartments located in high rise buildings. At each location I waited in the bedroom, as three or four guys entered the room and I was to choose one guy from the group. None of the massage places had guys available whose photos appeared on their site! The massages were very disappointing and the sex even worse!!!! After the third disappointing massage/sexual experience I decided to spend the rest of my time touring the city. The subway system is quite large and easy to navigate. Again, been there, done that, and have absolutely NO desire to visit Korea again!

Does anyone have RECENT OR CURRENT INFORMATION on massage places in Seoul? The guys photos at The Parks Spa are very nice but setting up an appointment seems futile. I texted and called The Parks, but the responder was not very cordial nor helpful at all. Has anyone been to The Parks?

No, I am not upset, far from it. just attempting to add humor to some of the replies to this and other posts. My friends got a good laugh from my last post, and I hope others did as well. Additionally, it is an attempt to inform others to look over the comments of those who try to diminish the valuable information this site has and is providing for many. After 14 years of visiting Thailand, I really enjoy this and other sites related to gay traveling.

Now I know why most fairy tales begin with "once upon a time". So people will know that it is a fairy tale and nothing more or nothing less, just a story to be enjoyed and not analyzed to death. With that said, my next report will begin with "THIS IS A REPORT". For those of you who simply can not resist analyzing, dissecting, reading more or less than what was intended, here is my next report: today the sun is shining. Have fun with the report!

I have not see a report on this spa so I decided to submit one. The Montara Massage Spa is located on Silom Soi 6 in BKK. The place is beautifully decorated with the body massage rooms located on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floors. Some rooms have a massage mat on the floor, and the other rooms have the raised massage bed with a shower in the room. The walls between the rooms do not go from the floor to the ceiling. They go about 3/4 of the way up, so you can hear the noise of the people next door, and they can hear you. You select the massage guy or girl, yes a few girls work there, from the receptionist's tablet. The guy I selected came into the entry parlor and asked me to follow him. He did not greet me nor even smile. I mentioned this to the receptionist and he said: "maybe he will be nice in the room". WRONG. When we entered the room, the guy asked me to shower and he left the room before I took off my clothes. A few minutes after I showered and dried myself, the guy re-entered the room. He was fully clothed. I asked him to take a shower and he said "no shower". Throughout the entire massage, he kept his clothes on. Twice I asked him to remove his clothes and he said no. I reached out and touched his leg and he stepped back. After finishing the massage he indicated for me to shower and left the room. While I was showering he came in and cleaned the room. No "happy ending" here, only a polite smile. Oh, you pay for the massage in advance. After the massage, the guy waited outside the building for his tip. The place is beautifully decorated and very clean. The receptionist was very polite and the massage was o.k, but I will not be going there again.

"And really, taking advantage of someone who is perceived as rich and clueless hardly qualifies as racism anyway." Indeed a very profound and truthful statement, Alexx.

There is no comparison between racism/racial discrimination and economic exploitation. I am appalled that anyone would even try to equate the two topics. A. Lincoln, Mandela, and others are turning over in their graves at the thought. The guy from Australia who wrote "just shut up", please, the world knows about Australia's racial history. "just shut up", tell this to the millions who where killed because of the color of their skin, or their religion, or sexual orientation, or disease such as AIDS, etc. etc. How sad that you are so insensitive, especially as a gay person. I fell sorry for you.

Around 11:00 pm Tuesday night I went to the new Fusion, located in the Wall Street building basement. I was the only customer at that time, no go-go dancers, and several workers urging me to sit down and order a drink by promising everything but the moon. With the music too loud to adequately talk to anyone, I managed to break free from several people holding my arms, hands and anything they could touch as they tried to get me to remain inside the club. Finally back outside in the not so loud hallway, I asked an older fellow dressed in a black suit if there would be dancers and a show tonight? Of course he claimed not to understand my question and asked me to go back inside; two can play this "I do not understand" game. I pointed to the go-go boys and the word "show" with times displayed on the posters. He said no not tonight but the club just opened and they are still working on things. WOW, his English suddenly improved. I thanked him and politely left. Maybe in the future the club will have what they are advertising - good luck to them.

WOW! Thanks to all of you for your down to earth and eye opening replies. Members of the opposite race, seldom see these things unless someone points it out to them or via other forms of communications. I printed out your comments and showed them to my buddy. Neither one of us realized that racism in Thailand is as wide spread and as open as it is. Yes, I have seen the people walking under umbrellas on hot sunny days but I thought that was to stay cool as oppose to getting darker. Life is interesting. In certain parts of the world people flock to bast in the sun because a good tan is a sign of wealth and leisure, yet here in Asia certain groups of people avoid the sun. At the hotel, on sunny days the swimming pool area is packed with non-Asians, and the Asians are at the pool at night or when the weather is cloudy. Thanks to all of you, I now understand why. Like many of you have written, the best sexual encounters I have had, have been with guys from Isan. I always wondered why the guys refer to themselves as "Isan" and never refer to themselves as Thai. Now I have a better understanding of the situation. Again, thanks to all of you for you open and enlightening comments.

A Black-American buddy told me about the racial discrimination he was experiencing here, especially getting a motor-taxi. I somewhat questioned this until I actually saw it happen. After the clubs closed, I walked with him to Soi Convent. When we approached the motor-taxi area, I lingered behind. To my disbelief and shock, 3 motor-taxi drivers refused to give him a ride! They pointed to the tut-tuts and taxi cabs. He slowly walked off and I approached the area and asked to be taken to the same hotel. Without hesitation I was motioned to get on the motorcycle. When I called to my buddy, the drivers said no and turned their backs to me. My buddy is a bit younger and much smaller in size than I am, so go figure. This happened on two different nights. At three clubs on Soi Twilight, there was a difference in the way we were treated. We entered the clubs separately and sat near each other. Just as he had related to me, every customer in the clubs received more attention from the boys and the entire staff than he did. He even generously tipped the dancers and bought a few drinks for them and himself. I tipped no one and bought only one drink for myself, yet I received a lot more attention from the staff and more boys flirted with me than him. This really blew me away. What the F___ is this all about? I just couldn't believe this was happening in Thailand. In many countries this type of behavior, blatant discrimination, would be unacceptable, if not against the law. Perhaps Thailand does not have laws against racial discrimination. To say the least, I feel bad for my buddy. He is counting the days until he leaves Thailand, and said he will never accept an assignment for Asia again. I can somewhat understand his feelings. I never thought something like this would happen in Thailand. Shame-shame for Thailand.

Firecat, I am curious about your bad experiences with the offs from Jupiter. Did you ever post the information? A funny story about my last visit to Jupiter. I chatted with 5 Chinese sitting next to me. The 3 guys are quite handsome, and I said I wanted to go to China to meet more handsome men like them. They laughed and said they (and the Chinese) have small dicks. They love Thailand because the boys have very big dicks. I could not believe my ears! To make a long story short, one guy and I went outside where I showed him photos, on my cell phone, of guys I have been with in Cuba and Brazil. He was astonished. He asked another guy and one of the girls to come look at my photos and videos. They copied a few photos and my email address because now they want to go to South America. But can you imagine thinking that Thailand guys have very big dicks? Life is so interesting! Just a funny story to share.
