Late Wednesday, 28 November 2024, my gym trainer alerts me with the below message that our gym will be closed effective the following day. Quite perplexing as they did not say anything in the morning. The former location was at the Jomtien Skypark Lucean center on Second Road near Soi 1. Today, Sunday 01-Dec-2024, I walked to the new gym location so I could learn where it is exactly because my start time is at 7:50am tomorrow and I do not want to be late or get lost. Going south on Jomtien Beach Road, it is shortly after soi 8, after the 7-Eleven and is now housed in the former Giant Octopus Seafood restaurant - as shown below: New relocated gym marquee: Here is a video that my gym trainer sent me today of the new much larger gym space - it looks good as I see that there are more machines available to work with - especially the running machines which were often full in the former gym space. 1733052549017.mp4 This will be my last week at the gym, as I am letting my gym membership lapse in preparation for my departure from Thailand as part of my 2025 year tax minimalization plan. The previous location was perfect for me as I could walk there from my condo in about 10 to 12 minutes. The new location is much further away. Unfortunately, in Jomtien there are not many gyms with air-conditioning - as most of the gyms are outside gyms - and that is just too hot for me to work out properly as I am already exhausted in the airconditioned environment. A gym won't serve me until September next year and perhaps another airconditioned gym will open in the now former location which is now empty. In closing, I leave you all with this entertaining self-indulgence video of some of the Jomtien Complex guys who also work out in this gym. I believe that they are all MBs - and they are working on their bodies for all of you - our forum members - so that you can have a good sexy time with them. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1596569601191223

@jason1975 Compliments on your reporting of this AMAZING event. For future Crete the Party events I will definitely try to participate and be there. You broke the ice for us who could not attend. Also, if we ever meet let me buy you a drink on me for making this sacrifice for all of us - as I would imagine that after the ticket price and all of the Vinapu tuck 100 baht insertions that this event was quite costly - but SO exciting. What I liked MOST about your report is that you mentioned that you could ask your favorite models for their LINE IDs - and that would be a wonderful take away from this event - as the 15,000 baht for the used model freshly scented underwear might have been a little over the top.

I agree fully. I am paying 50% of what I paid back in Europe and my full time salary to my reduced pension only dropped 25% - so I am still financially ahead. I instead do care but for a different reason. Here in Pattaya - many of the abundant local guys here are on the HORNET app and only solicit to Thai-for-Thai clients where the rates are substantially lower. So, when the local guys bitch and complain that they are not making enough money - I tell them to EXPAND their HORNET marketing to consider non-Thais as customers - as they can earn substantially more. One western customer can potentially help them to earn what 1 Thai customer pays them. Once they get over their fear of US farangs - they often change their marketing mix to be 25% non-Thai and 75% Thai and they are financially more happier. They have also told me that the Thai customers can be MORE demanding than us non-Thai customers - hence easier money for them. Often their reluctance to solicit to us are: they can't speak English and don't know what to write in English in their HORNET profiles to attract us non-Thais, they have to get used to our smells. I constantly hear from them that us non-Thais smell different than Thais. I often wonder what it is that makes us smell different?? they are not used to our ways of being and are not sure or feel safe in pre-knowing how to act with us. How did I learn all of this? I utilize the services of 2 local Thai guys to procure for me new guys for 4 hands massages. They BOTH fish for the guys that they bring to my place from HORNET and often I am the FIRST farang (Western) customer for many of these new guys. During the pre and post massage time, I love to interview them about how it went and if as a result of their first meeting with a farang if they would do it again. I would say that it is a 50/50 ratio for YES - not as high as I expected - but the Thai-on-Thai money boy market is very different than the non-Thai market and it is after all their comfort zone - and who wants to venture out of their comfort zone ?

I was there for night 2 of this wonderful 2 night annual event. I went with my "main squeeze" and we decided to see the fireworks from the Phra Tamnak viewpoint, which is up on the hill that seperates Pattaya City from Jomtien. We were lucky, as the crowds were not overbearing like down on the Pattaya City beach. My Thai friend had gone to see the fireworks on the previous night at the City Coffee Pattaya viewpoint ( which he said was super packed ) - which also has an amazing view, as it is slightly above the famous Pattaya City sign that adorns the Bali Hai harbor. We were very lucky to easily get 2 motorbike taxis from his condo (VT1) to the Phra Tamnak viewpoint. To get back to the Jomtien Complex was also very easy as many motorbike taxi drivers were already parked on top of the viewpoint waiting for customers. We arrived 1 hour before the show started and we left after Hong Kong and Serbia finished their fireworks. Here is a photo and short video. 1733005812645.mp4 Back in Supertown I learned that my Thai friend's roommate was offed by a farang the previous night and this farang - with his farang friend - paid 7,000 baht to rent a speed boat to see the fireworks directly in front of where they were being launched. So, the boat owner charges 1,000 baht for each guest on his boat, which has a maximum capacity of 8 people (including the boat captain). When I learned about this possibility, I told my Thai friend, let us do this next year, as 7,000 baht is not a bad price for you and 6 of your friend's to have this kind of unique fun. Obviously, it cost these 2 farangs more money because they had to pay each of the 5 MB that they invited onto the boat 2,000 baht each. My Thai friend's roommate did not report to work the next day after being on the boat, as he got drunk and seasick (he vomited overboard) - even though the sea was calm - but if you are not used to the up and down motion of a stationary boat then I guess it won't be pleasant. But, I am up for it for next year. Who shall be the 6 guys that I would invite ? 🤔😜🤩

Wow @jason1975 - the BIG night has arrived. Enjoy yourself and I cannot wait to learn about your adventures with @ichigo at this event.

Please let us know if you find any such edging/milking/gooning/cum control groups. I am also a BIG edger (giver and receiver) but it is extremely difficult to locate people that are into this activity. Often I just need to train the massage guys who already have a sensual touch - then it is an easy leap to get them into edging once you show them some edging videos. My experience to date is that most of the men that I meet are into fast orgasms - which goes against the philosophy of edging. --> Slow and steady wins the race <-- @noctiluca - you might want to try a Twitter (X) search with these key word hashtags: #bkk #edge #milking #Cumcontrol #edging Unfortunately, I was only able to find one such user in Bangkok with Twitter handle = @CCTEMBKK For a city with more than 10 million inhabitants - it is very surprising to find only 1 single edger in all of Bangkok. The other edgers that I found in the above search are female who are edging men - so I do not count them. Then occasionally you will get an edger who is passing through Thailand on vacation and you may find 1 or 2 more edgers. I am in Pattaya - and it is EXTREMELY rare if you can find a fellow edger here. The only ones that I found were tourists passing through or soft sensual masseurs who I had to train. Below are some hot related edging Twitter profiles.

Anyone know if there is a MALE version of this ? The reason that I ask is because when I look at my monthly expenses as a retiree in Thailand - the number ONE expense line item is what I refer to as the "guy tax". So, it would be great to know if this Husband Rental alternative would be more cost effective than my monthly "guy tax". Through my current main squeeze, I got to know his best friend, who is 1 of 2 Thai guys who share the same sugardaddy - I believe that he is Canadian. I was VERY curious about this arrangement so I interviewed his friend about what this arrangement was about. Here is what I learned: Rich Canadian Man (RCM) wants 2 Thai guys to take care of him - especially later in life when he may need elderly assistance, RCM selected the first Thai guy to be his boyfriend = sugarbaby {SB1} (he is 32 - so not so much of a baby), Then RCM told SB1 to help him select SB2 with the following criteria: SB2 should be like a boyfriend to SB1, SB2 + SB1 will sleep together most of the time in their own bedroom, RCM may request that SB1 or SB2 occasionally sleep with him on a weekly basis - as RCM wants his own private bedroom. SB1 and SB2 should not get jealous if one of them is invited to sleep with RCM and the other is not. RCM wants harmony in the household - so that all 3 are a happy family. When I learned about this arrangement - I became super curious and super interested as it might seem to be a perfect solution to my future life here oneday. Do any of you reading this: have an opinion - could it work? are currently in this type of living situation and can share with us (or to me via private DM) what are the pros and cons and how to make it work. The primary appeal to me is for my more elderly years when I might need health and/or mobility assistance and the idea to have 2 guys that I can always depend on until I pass away really appeals to me. Especially, if there are 2 and 1 decides to abandon us - then at least I still have 1 remaining life companion assistant.

I haven't been to the Malaga (Torremolinos) area in at least 10 years - but when I was there it was full of opportunities. Unfortunately, the internet only lists 1 gay sauna: https://www.travelgay.com/torremolinos-gay-saunas

don't say this @vinapu - you would lose all of us and more importantly we would lose you - and that would be awful. Who would replace our favorite KFC to give us sage advice and special "boot camp" training sessions!!

YES - but I believe that these are a response to various social media platforms that push-out reminders about when our birthdays are to our contact lists - and consequently, people that we never hear from feel the need to reply to their social media feed that has reminded them that it is my birthday. Consequently, I don't like these - as they feel fake and artificial and when possible I try to disable the birthdate data element in my various social media profiles to avoid that these companies send push messages on my behalf to my contact list. I much prefer to get very few real "Happy Birthday" messages that originated from people with sincere intentions (as opposed to feeling that it is an obligation due to a social media automated push message). And often, my BEST "Happy Birthday" messages are those that are late - days or weeks after the occasion, as those messages seem to be the most genuine and from the heart.

And then denies that this "opportunity" even existed when they don't like the image that this former "opportunity" brought them. I tell my Thai friends that in the USA we have Las Vegas, the most similar place to Pattaya, and we don't pretend to ignore what really goes on there --> instead we embrace its success, but with the following motto: "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" So, here in Thailand we could say: "What happens in Pattaya, stays in Pattaya"

They forgot to include: Boom-Boom in the above list. oh, I forgot, we are no longer allowed to make references to "sin city" in the context of Pattaya. Hmmm, what happened back in the 1960s and 1970s to cause more than 400,000 military personnel to be sent for R&R (rest & relaxation) to that then small sleepy fishing village, known as Pattaya? hmmm, how many orgasms back in those days planted the seeds to what we now know as the Pattaya of today ?

I am truly VERY happy to hear that you enjoyed your time on beautiful Koh Larn. If you do not mind - do you perhaps remember the name of the beach that you went to? Having taken the ferry you most likely took the bahtbus (songthaew) from the main seaport village to one of the many outlying beaches. @Foolish I truly like your writing style - these extras are what make reading trip reports exciting @Foolish COMPLIMENTS for visiting the Big Tool Legacy place on Walking Street. @emiel1981 and I were supposed to visit this place but we did not - we walked past it as our agenda for that evening was already too full. At least we (us forum members) can now know that if we want to see the "BIG TOOL" it is going to cost us 3,000 baht for an exciting perhaps peak and touch ? This is a high fee especially when considering the use of the @vinapu patented, "Vinapu Tuck", as I would need to buy a new pair of walking shorts with many pockets - as it would require 30 red notes....

p.s. I told Ta Lin that when I saw all of this construction in this big space that I was hoping for a dance club - that the Jomtien Complex really needs a good place for dancing with good farang type of music - as we both agreed that at the nearby Dragon Music club - the existing DJs do not play good dancing music. Ta Lin smiled and said, hmmm, perhaps there is truly a need for a good dancing place in the Complex.

Walking through the Jomtien Complex (aka Supertown) today, I saw someone approachable to ask what was going on with the transformation of the ex Dolce Vita. He (Ta Lin) replied: it will be a new cabaret show bar, like M2M and The Venue, he hopes to have it open in like 6 to 8 more weeks, he would not tell me the name of the new cabaret place - as he wants it to be a surprise. As you may remember, the former Dolce Vita restaurant resided in a very large space. From what I could see today, it looks like it will be bigger than M2M and perhaps around the same size as The Venue's cabaret area. But we need to remember that M2M, some time ago, took over the former Dorothy Showbar space - which is directly in front of the current existing M2M - and the work on that new space is intermittent and does not appear to be in a rush to be completed - in case anyone might know what plans they (M2M) have for it ?

Talk to the hand!!! Where is the BEEF ? 🤪

I got SUPER excited because you may have been the FIRST visitor to go over to Koh Larn - at least since I have been here now 2 years. and then my excitement was deflated. I was hoping to hear if you would have agreed to the beauty of Koh Larn - especially the nice powder white sand Tien beach with the turquoise blue transparent water - unlike the coffee brown water back in Pattaya / Jomtien. Perhaps in your next trip you might go to Koh Larn ? Maybe another visitor to Pattaya will make the adventure to wonderful Koh Larn (make sure to cross over the island to the non-Pattaya facing side as that is the MOST beautiful part of Koh Larn). Great trip report by the way and thanks :>))

Have you tried a Twitter (X) search? Keywords would be: #alterpanglao #massage In The Philippines, it appears that they use the #alter keyword in front of any searchable term to find PLUs (People Like Us)

Please see my post from 27 January 2024 where I discuss how to join/enroll in the LINE chat groups that are dedicated to massage. I find them useful and entertaining as it is the Thai version of our forum here at gayguides.com but dedicated to massage places, the massage guys, critiques and opinions, discounts, parties, gossip, coupons, etcetra. Note that the majority of the focus of these LINE massage forums are Bangkok centric - however, they will occasionally discuss massage places in Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Phuket and Japan. However, they hardly ever discuss the massage situation in Pattaya, as the massage scene in Pattaya is an anomaly when compared with the rest of Thailand (no booking or reservation systems, no info on the guys available with photos and sexual positions, etcetra).

As a newbie, to riding a motorbike, I can definitely relate to that NEW "pain in the ass" feeling from riding a motorbike for so far and for so long. Also, my arms were aching, as I was so tense with the motorbike steering bar at those high speeds, that I had problems at the gym in the following days with arm excercises. But the thrill and freedom feeling, once you get outside of the environs of Pattaya City, are well worth any pain.

why go on a bar crawl when you can leave with your f^%king HOT guy that you offed from the Crete the Party ?

I think that I see a mistake in their program ?

When I was taking my motorbike lessons earlier this year with my volleyball friend - our graduation finale was to drive our motorbikes to Khao Chi Chan from Jomtien. It was a great trip, but I recall it taking 1 or 2 hours to get there from Jomtien. Maybe we drove like 2 old grandmothers? I remember driving cautiously but at a good pace. My Google timeline confirms that the first segment of our trip was 14 miles and took 50 minutes and then the second segment was another 14 miles and took 1 hour:

It appears to be lumped in with the other Elite types of visas, which are subject to the need to pay Thailand PIT taxes if you are deemed as a tax resident (residing more than 180 days in the Kingdom in a calendar year). I believe that the ONLY visa that gives a tax exemption is the Thailand BOI (Board of Investment) LTR (Long Term Resident) Wealthy Pensioner visa. But this has a HIGH passive income requirement of $80,000 USD per year verifiable via your home country tax return in the prior 2 years from when you apply. Below is the hyperlink to the official web page. https://ltr.boi.go.th/

And this is SO SO SO SO true. So, be very careful with whom you allow yourself to fall in love with.
