The VCK cool space sauna was decent. The night I went, the crowd was mostly younger and mostly local-ish and looking to play with the same but - as has been said many times - it only takes one and I left satisfied. Avoid Krubb Bangkok sauna. The place was dirty and populated with out-of-shape foreigners. There is no need to travel halfway around the world for that. I wanted to try Ryuu Onsen but ran out of time. If you are ever in Saigon, Nadam Spa is among the best anywhere with decent massages on offer too. Tuesdays and weekends are the best days to go.

I’m a huge fan of # 26 from hot male. His stamina is amazing.

I liked the atmosphere at Banana Room yesterday but don’t recall seeing # 29. What is so special about him?

True but there is excellent food here though and tons of foreigners looking to play on Grindr. A very cute Canadian from Toronto just left my hotel room. He was clearly of Asian descent, so after we had sex I asked him if his family was from Thailand. He said nope and that he was just your standard Vietnamese, Japanese, Russian mutt but in a very sexy way that I can’t really convey in writing. He also had a really nice ass. I’m not sure why I’m telling you any of this but I think I’m going to meet him tomorrow for a clothed activity and take a nap right now.

I wrote that post more than three years ago. It still sums up how I feel about this question but I will add that as the garotos have slowly transitioned from mainly two-thirds my age to closer to half my age (i.e. I get older) it has become harder. In my opinion, the really hot guys are also less frequently found in the GP saunas these days.

Interesting…. I would like to see how Thailand fits into the hypothesis I have formed. Do you happen to know about how much a 30-day supply of PrEP costs in Thailand? Also, approximately when did it become available in Thailand?

It’s hard to explain. I don’t regret coming here or anything. In fact, I’m certain I’ll be back but definitely think I understand what your saying. The chances of finding a 25 year old here that thinks it’s a good idea to come to my hotel room, spend two hours exchanging bodily fluids, drink some caipirinhas and get some food while staring at the ocean and then followed possibly by trying yet again to make a new gay boy are approximately zero where as in Rio that has happened at least once on most of my trips. As a wiseman once said though it only takes one. I met a completely age inappropriate guy from Vietnam in the sauna yesterday. In broken English he told me that I had a nice ass and since he had pretty decent abs and the rest of him was nicely put together too, I let him fuck me. Still, I feel like in Brazil a similar situation probably would have progressed to an evening of, well, what described above but here the sex was decent and he came but then said he needed to go home and get some sleep so that he’s not too tired for work the next day. Apparently, he works at a bank or something. I do like the massages here though and those aren’t available elsewhere.

@floridarob Brazil has definitely spoiled me. A massage after a 16 flight is kind of amazing but I miss the sizable population of ~28 year olds that think having sex with a moderately fit old white guy from the States is a good idea. I’m definitely less popular here in the sauna and on Grindr than I am in Rio or SP. Just curious, how often do you make the trip to Thailand?

@Riobard would you happen to know when PrEP became generally available in Thailand? Asking for a friend.

Yeah but his looks reminded me of one of the first guys I ever met in Rio who was incredible and with whom I’m still in touch. I was hoping to go on that same ride again but we had zero chemistry and mechanical doesn’t even begin to describe my time with him. Absolutely gorgeous to look at but a complete dud. Thanks for the warning about photoshopped images. I’m thinking of recalibrating my trip to spend more time in saunas. I did that on a trip in Colombia last year and had an excellent time.

First of all, let’s get one thing straight, my Portuguese is on par with that of a drunk third grader’s but, still, that’s very kind of you to say and it is generally good enough to explain what I’m interested in having go where which is important but, then again, since I generally like “most things” and I am kind of a whore even when there is an error, well, it’s not that big of a deal. I got hooked on Rio because guys that look like this: generally are agreeable to spending time with me at my hotel under circumstances that are easy to recreate time and time again. That said, and for those of you that may have just begun planning a trip to Rio de Janeiro after looking at the picture, I strongly recommend you go but, if you are able to figure who the garoto in the picture is, take a pass. He is gorgeous but I definitely recommend you pass. Why am I telling you all this? Well, I am very interested in going to Ryuu Onsen because it appears that this will be there: but, unfortunately, somebody seems to have put all the information in Thai. Could one of the esteemed members of this board explain how I can find out who will be at Ryuu and when? A short explanation of how I can do some of the things I’m interested in doing with the guys in the pictures would also be very much appreciated. I like new experiences.

I am very interested in zen and Ryuu onsens. Thank you. I think these two fine establishments will need to be incorporated into my trip. Are certain days/times best? Both seem to be quiet active on instagram.

I made numerous trips to Thailand over a ten year period prior to COVID but never went to Brazil. Post-COVID, I made my first trip to Rio and basically fell in love with place (or more accurately the guys there and their general passionate attitude toward sex) and haven’t returned to Bangkok since with the exception of a long layover last year that gave me a chance to visit the city briefly and caused me to plan the trip I am about to take. I’ve been reading this forum diligently so as to make the best use of my upcoming time in Bangkok since I am no longer in touch with any of the guys I used to know in Thailand. I think I have a solid plan but what I’d really be curious to know is: 1. I’m definitely not a Thai massage shop or go go bar virgin, in fact, leading up to the long layover I mentioned I spent a significant amount of time planning the one massage that I had time for in Bangkok and, well, I did a good job. It was kind of amazing. So, if I’m not a newbie but I haven’t spent any real time in Thailand over the past 5 or 6 years, what am I? Has anybody made a return visit to Thailand under similar circumstances? How was it? 2. One of the many things I like about Brazil is using Instagram to meet gorgeous guys. For reasons that will always mystify me, a message from a moderately fit American in his early-40’s to a drop dead gorgeous garoto has a more than decent chance of receiving a response in Brazil. Is there a parallel in Thailand by any chance these day?

Has anyone visited the Wild Thermas Club in São Paulo?

My personal hypothesis here is that the human brain is wired to fuck things - probably for evolutionary purposes - that are different. Grindr definitely works much better for me in Brazil than it does in hometown USA which is the main reason I keep return again and again and again to Brazil.
