….and severely constricted genitalia.

Will that be in the form of cash, check or boys?

You could have one hell of a party in the Dusit Thani Suite.

You grow into them.

TIT. Very consistent.

Those are valid concerns. After retirement, my visits became longer (30 and now 60 days), Airbnb’s became more economical and practical. Since my regular guy is my only overnight guest, shared housekeeping chores are not an issue. Only use units that have washer in room. And luckily found super attentive agent who takes care of maintenance issues quickly. But for most visitors hotels are the option of choice. Finding suitable ones should be simple because so many members have reported their experiences on forum.

From The Thaiger A 64 year old Belgian tourist tragically succumbed to severe injuries following a brutal assault in Hua Hin in early April. The attack left him with a fractured skull and 10 broken bones, leading to a coma from which he never awoke. Jan Valkenborg was holidaying with his Thai girlfriend in the resort town when he was ambushed. He was smoking a cigarette on the pavement when a man struck him from behind, continuing the vicious assault even after he fell. The assailant, later identified as a German national with a criminal record and ties to a local fight club, also attacked a British man the same night. Danny Lemmens, Valkenborg’s close friend, remained by his side until he passed away on Monday, June 17. Lemmens, who travelled to Thailand to assist with Valkenborg’s care, recounted the harrowing ordeal. “It was a long day, waiting for 13 hours during his surgery, and the following days were sleepless ones as I stayed in his hotel room, surrounded by his belongings while he fought for his life in the hospital.” Valkenborg underwent a gruelling 13-hour surgery to address multiple skull fractures. Although the operation was successful, doctors estimated a recovery period of three to eight months, with an uncertain prognosis. Despite medical interventions, including a significant operation on his birthday, his condition worsened, leading to epileptic seizures. Doctors eventually concluded he would never fully recover. The German attacker roamed the area for hours after the assault before being apprehended by police. Lemmens, who met Valkenborg through their mutual involvement with the Vlaams Belang political party, remembered him as a helpful individual with a wide circle of friends. “Jan was a man with a heart of gold. He didn’t deserve this.” Valkenborg was initially treated at a hospital in Hua Hin before being transferred to Bangkok for further operations and eventually repatriated to Gasthuisberg Hospital in Leuven, Belgium.

From Pattaya Mail The Fact-Finding Committee has recommended to the Prime Minister that Pol. Gen. Torsak Sukvimol be reinstated to his position of Police Chief at the Royal Thai Police Headquarters (RTP) following the completion of the investigation. However, the order suspending Pol. Gen. Surachate Hakparn, Deputy Police Chief, must wait for the RTP to resubmit it due to procedural irregularities in the previous process. Wissanu Krea-ngam, Advisor to the Prime Minister on Thursday provided an update on the investigation by the Fact-Finding Committee concerning the conflicts within the Royal Thai Police. Chaired by Chatchai Promlert, the committee’s investigation included testimony from over 50 witnesses over four months. The investigation uncovered conflicts at all levels within the Royal Thai Police, involving Pol. Gen. Torsak Sukwimol, the Police Chief, and Pol. Gen. Surachate Hakparn, the Deputy Police Chief, among others. The conflict has also implicated other police officers, leading to multiple lawsuits, including major and minor cases involving online gambling, illegal debt, narcotics, and the trading of police positions. Regarding Pol. Gen. Torsak, the Fact-Finding Committee recommended his reinstatement to his former position as Police Chief at the RTP following the completion of the investigation. The recommendation awaits the Prime Minister’s approval. For Pol. Gen. Surachate, an order was issued on April 18 to reinstate him to the RTP, and a disciplinary investigation committee was formed, recommending his suspension from service. However, under the Royal Thai Police Act, such a decision must be recommended by the investigation committee. Since this process was not followed correctly, the RTP must resubmit the proposal for his suspension.

This shop has been very favorably reviewed in the local media on several occasions. Good to hear you found it.

Breakfast in the Amara is certainly adequate but like many hotels now the value isn't as compelling because it’s more of an add-on expense.

The opportunity to be able to talk with guy during massage is a distinct advantage, particularly if you like him and plan to repeat. Having said that, non-verbal communication offers its own special rewards.

Stick to massage shops.

If you believe your admission fee entitles you to act that way, knock yourself out. Or better yet, maybe the boy will . 😊

+1 I was there same time and witnessed both events. I echo Jason’s description of grotesque behavior. It not only reflected poorly on the customer, it was offensive to the boys. I had a good view of one boy who was openly groped and his expression could not conceal his embarrassment. The customer pushed his hand into the boy’s briefs as far as it would go. It was emasculating.

From The Nation After four years of arguments and counter-arguments, same-sex couples finally get the right to wed. But why did it take so long? The historic push for Thailand's Equal Marriage Law has succeeded, making it the first ASEAN country to legalise marriage for same-sex couples, and granting them the same rights as opposite-sex spouses. However, the road to the LGBTQ+ community's true celebration during Pride Month has been fraught with challenges, including societal understanding and legislative hurdles.

From The Nation TAT highlights 11 ‘star countries’ as it sets out to rake in 200-billion-baht revenue from long-haul tourists The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) on Wednesday unveiled its tourism promotion policy for the second half of the year, saying it would focus on attracting customers from long-distance markets to help the agency meet the government’s target of 3.5 trillion baht in tourism revenue this year. Siripakorn Cheawsamoot, TAT’s deputy governor for Europe, Africa, Middle East, and Americas markets, said that long-distance markets for the rest of this year will be divided into two groups. The stable ones, or “star countries”, are Russia, the UK, the US, Germany and France. Tourists from these countries are already familiar with Thailand and tend to visit the kingdom before the end of the year, he said. TAT is also addressed six high-potential long-distance countries, which it terms “rising stars”, namely Canada, Italy, Kazakhstan, Poland, Denmark and Saudi Arabia. These countries have shown increasing tourism revenues in recent years and are now benefitting from the government’s visa-free policy, said Siripakorn. “These six countries are considered rising stars due to good economic status and the potential to introduce more flights to Thailand,” he added. The deputy governor explained that TAT needs to penetrate potential markets in order to meet the government’s revenue target of 3.5 trillion baht from the tourism industry. This target is 500 billion baht higher than the TAT’s original target of 3 trillion baht. “Through tourism promotion campaigns, we hope to make around 200 billion baht from these 11 star countries in the second half of the year, moving us closer to securing the additional 500 billion baht,” he said. These promotions, to be carried out with airlines and hotels, aim to extend the stay in Thailand among tourists from long-haul countries, thus increasing their spending in the kingdom. For example, Air Canada is now offering a “Long Stay Airfare” programme, which offers discounts on air tickets for travellers who stay longer, while the airline’s boarding pass can be shown at participating hotels and restaurants to get discounts. “We planned these campaigns with partners well before the government announced its policy to lift visa requirements for 93 nations, starting from this month,” said Siripakorn. “As the policy allows tourists to stay here without a visa for up to 60 days, we discussed with partner airlines and hotels to adjust the promotional period accordingly to accommodate even longer stays.”

It seems only fitting that carrier will be using Boeing Max aircraft. From The Thaiger The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) announced new flight connections at U-Tapao–Rayong–Pattaya International Airport (UTP), courtesy of SCAT Airlinesand AirAsia. This move underscores Thailand’s strategic push to enhance accessibility for international business travellers and tourists. SCAT Airlines is operating a charter service using Boeing 797 Max-9 with 213 seats from Almaty, Kazakhstan via flight number VSV5357 every seven to 10 days from June to March next year. AirAsia’s flight number AK840 operates flights from Kuala Lumpur using Airbus A320 with 189 seats three times a week. The addition of these flights significantly improves access to crucial markets like Kazakhstan and Malaysia, fostering economic growth in Thailand’s tourism and business sectors. Key international markets include India, Vietnam, China, Russia, and Kazakhstan.

Have paid for Grindr in past and did not deem it worth it. Now have basic but only use it to see who’s out there and not to communicate. I find that massage shop listings much better option.

Some old room safe models have a small key slot for management to open in case customer forgot combo or checked out before opening last time. For right price, these generic keys can be obtained. The more modern versions rely on electronic override entry code. But since most of these relics have been replaced by newer versions, I suspect access was gained by means Vinapu describes above.
