It seems I was one of the last to get a 5 year visa. My husband has a ten year one that is still valid. Since I don't plan to go to Brazil until things shape up for COVID, should I wait to renew? seems logical, but a ten year visa would last as long as I hope to still be traveling, so why wait? Is it harder to get a visa now? Thanks for any advice.

I'd settle for the Thai guys under the mistletoe!

@MikeSydhave you made any plans yet?

Numazu, Numazu...I sort of remember his posts, Didn't he travel to Iceland a lot?

I put mine in my butt. Makes the flight more enjoyable!

Assuming COVID is in the past, I cannot remember what limits there are on shows in Bangkok's gay bars. Are erections allowed? Can the guys show butthole? Can they fondle one another? Now I do remember the outright sex shows, but I am asking about the regular shows. The fact that they allow sex shows might answer my question, but are they even legal? Thanks for any responses to my questions.

@PeterRS, thanks for reviving the thread. Memories!

Recently I read Bangkok 8, a novel by John Burdett. It was the third time I have read the novel and I liked it just as much as on the first or second read. It gives a view of Bangkok and nightlife that intrigues me. Yesterday I read The Last Six Million Seconds, also by Burdett. This one is about the weeks leading up to the transfer of Hong Kong to China. It's a fascinating novel, full of corruption and intrigue. Both novels came out a long time ago. I submit that they remain timely. Current Chinese corruption is explained a lot in this book.

Did the recent COVID wave in Thailand originate in a straight sex club frequented by the rich and government leaders? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/05/world/asia/thailand-covid-clubs.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage

@tomcal has also managed to avoid COVID in Brazil. Congratulations!

Three days later...??? Maybe you should have directed it to @TotallyOz.

The barber at the Dusit Thani in Bangkok used to perform this ear cleaning. He was very good at it.

@t0oL1Thanks for posting this. I sent my donation just now.

Long live the Princess!

I should have said @TotallyOz What say you? Am I the only one encouraging this?

Not to be snarky, but the guys on the video homepage above are not exactly bell ringers.

Oz, what say you?

@TotallyOz Has the hotel been recently renovated?

It's not clear to me why I would ever use cameraprive.

Daddy didn't care what happened to the site once he was gone. I am glad it is back up, but I hope that the guys who joined here this week will keep posting here. You just have to ignore Rockie.

The advantage there is that the organizer, Oliver, has kept a list of the email addresses of the attendees over the years.

One wishes that @readerand @z909could find a way to stop the bickering here. We coexist with others on the site, and that doesn't necessarily mean liking everyone.

Here's something I never anticipated reading about!

This morning the message-forum.net went offline. All I get when I go there is a blank page. If this is good-bye, well, it did come as a bit of a sudden surprise. But with the death of founder Bill, things were looking doubtful. I have had a lot of good experiences there. (A friend has written that he, too, cannot get the site to appear.)
