I'll be travelling Asia extensively early 2018 and will get in touch with him. Thanks for info

What a stupid man. He would be ashamed I would hope to see this video

Thanks for your reply sir .... I have been to the Philippines twice now initially to Bohol 2 years ago........which was stunning and last Xmas / New Year to a beautiful gathering of Islands called Palawan.....voted in the top 10 most idyllic places in the world and I agree. Stunning ! However what I did notice in the Philippines was that the way of life is more laid back.....the customer service can be shockingly bad and I didn't find the country particularly cheap. Lots of things are way more expensive than the UK and I do feel for the population as they earn low wages. My Philippine partner is coming with me on a tour of Thailand on 25 March and can't wait to show him the lovely people and food of Thailand. I think the draw of the people and food (and of course cute boys) still steers me to Thailand. Maybe just got to take the low exchange rate on the chin . It is early days with Brexit so hopefully things will change as time goes on.

This is a really informative and interesting thread. Sadly not one that helps me make my mind up as to my plans in 11 months. I love Thailand........the food, the people, the weather, the general feel good factor of being there. However, seeing the pointers about the exchange rate and high prices makes me feel prematurely that my bubble is being burst before even retiring there for say 6 months of the year from Feb 2018. Despite the drop in the pound post Brexit.....what would forum members advise me?...... I have been told before that Vietnam is like Thailand was 20 years ago......but when I have been there on 2 separate occasions, the spoken English doesn't seem as good but I do find the boys cute enough Please advise . Thank you

Wonderful video ! fair play to the guy

Fantastic report. Thank you ! Will definitely put it on my retirement bucket list next February !

Thanks for this thread.....I am eager to travel to some more places apart from the tourist places. Brilliant !

No Sorry I had my partner with me so I didn't (or couldn't) go exploring whilst there !

Hi Sorry for late reply but thank you for the offer. I am still awaiting confirmation from my Filipino partner. On a separate note.....I am not very good on this forum and did have a long PM a couple of weeks go from someone on here but can't seem to find messages.......any ideas where they are stored ? CANCEL LAST - FOUND IT HAHAHA !

I visited Manila and El Nido 12 months ago but was with my partner. I'm sure Manila has lots of massage places but El Nido is like a small village and I only saw massage parlours provided by females (unless I didn't look hard enough)

I'm a bit lost......Why ?

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Food for thought indeed. I guess after hearing that my partner may not be able to make it I guess I thought it would be easy to get a companion with the offer of a free holiday. I clearly hadn't thought it through very well and also didn't realise this forum was not visited by many Thai guys too. I will have another think about it and maybe have to travel alone. Also, whilst the locations are beach type locations, I also like exploring the countryside on a motorcycle as well as scuba diving. So, no, lying at the beach all day every day does not interest me apart from a nice walk in the sunset ;-) I will go to see what response I have on Gay Romeo Thank you

Hi everyone This is my very first post here.... I am just sowing the seed for a possible Thai travel companion who is willing and eager to join me on a tour of Thailand from 24 March to 18 April 2017 I am very very genuine and there is a reason for this post that I cannot go into but I have a holiday that I have planned already which lasts for 3 weeks starting and finishing at at Bangkok, going to Phuket,Koh Lanta,Krabi, Koh Samui, Koh Pha Nang, Ko Tao, Hua Hin, and back on train to BKK. This thread is simply to test the water to see if any young Thai guys would be willing to join me in the event that my original holiday partner will be unable to make it. All that I would ask is that you are honest, slim, good company, reasonably good at spoken English and that you are willing to appreciate kindness and show love. As said, this is a genuine post, but at the moment I am unsure whether my holiday partner will be able to accompany me. Basically, if you are able to meet me in BKK or Phuket ( and finish up in either Hua Hin or BKK) and be able to commit fully to a 3 week vacation then that would be great. All accommodation is booked already. They are all nice places. You would not be expected to pay for food or accommodation. All I would require is a brief selfie video describing yourself and why you think you would like to have the opportunity. Thanks for reading the above. Look forward to hearing from you PS..... I have just turned 50, keep fit, slim, strong, enjoy keeping fit, very adventurous, PADI qualified, love nature and really love Thailand. It will be my 4th visit. Regards Aled xx
