I will be in Bogotá in mid-October.

Has anybody been to Complices in Bogotá?

I will be traveling to Bogotá and Medellín with my boyfriend soon. While in Colombia, we want to visit a bathhouse. Babylon Baths in Bogotá appears to be exactly what we are looking for (clean, modern, big, etc.) but I see that it is no longer open. Is there something similar in Bogotá or Medellín that is still open? Advice on what times are best to go would also be welcome. We also enjoy massage while on vacation. If anyone out there would care to share some recommendations for where to get a massage in Bogotá or Medellín that would be welcome too.

Could you share a bit more about Delalos? What exactly is it? When is a good time to go? What should I expect when I go? Asking for a friend.

A friend from the States will be joining me on my next trip to Brazil. Most of his time will be spent in Rio but we may also go to Salvador too. I will just exercise outside - I’m a fan of the loop around the lagoon - but he is a gym rat. We will be in Brazil together for about two weeks. Would anybody like to suggest a gym that has decent daily or weekly passes available to foreigners?

The facilities at TarZan are excellent and the prices are very reasonable but they show you pictures on an iPad rather than let you look at the guys in person. The guy I selected was nice and decent looking but not as good looking as his clearly airbrushed iPad pictures. That said, I’ll probably still return. anybody have any experience with nadam spa?

The visa need to travel to Vietnam from the US used to be expensive and involve a trip to the embassy or mailing your passport off. There is a now an electronic visa available similar to that which Australia has offered for years. Now, all you have to do is go online and pay about $20 USD and you het an email back about a day later saying that your visa is approved.

I usually try and use Bradesco or Santander as well. My bank rebates the ATM fee and the exchange rate is always very very close to the published rate.

May I ask what attracts you to Cambodia? Vietnam appears to be very, very, very affordable.

Any experience with Cool Spa? They seem to be responsive on WhatsApp and I’m really into one of the guys there.

I’ll be passing through HCMC, Vietnam shortly. Does anybody have any recommendations? A massage after the long flight would be amazing.

I do not disagree with you. Non-GPs on Grindr respond to me when I am in Brazil that would probably not be interested in me were the interaction taking place here in the States. I am a huge fan of this phenomenon, especially since I am generally not into other tall white boys (especially ones with a few grey hairs like me) anyway. I like mixed, if that makes any sense. It doesn’t have to be the “mixed” that Brazil has in spades though. One of the hottest guys that I have ever been with was this half Japanese half Russian guy that lived in NYC.

G Spa in Rio can be good too if you’re interested in non-GP. I don’t think it is open 24 hours though. I have been twice. The first time I went, the place was filled with 20-something Cariocas, a shockingly large portion of which were interested in me (now 40 ughh but still somewhat fit, very mediocre Portuguese, white). When I went back a few days later though, it was still fun but it was no longer filled with 20-something. Promotions/day of the week probably greatly influence the clientele present or at least that is what I suspect.

Where did you find him?

Does anybody have any experience with him at Ganymede? PMs welcome if you are more comfortable with that. I only have two days in Bangkok and very much want to avoid duds.

I will be passing through Saigon, Vietnam soon and trying to figure out what to do there. Does anybody have any experience with Nadam Spa?

I’m very interested. I’ll be passing through vietnam shortly and try to figure out what to do. Does anybody have any experience with Nadam Spa in Saigon?

My prior bad experience wasn’t nearly as bad as what you describe. It was just a whelming massage from a cute thai guy that I could tell wasn’t really into it. Are the pictures generally at least accurate at V Club? I’ll only be in Bangkok for a couple of days so I don’t have a lot of time to spend looking for guys that are my type.

I couldn’t agree more. Part of my fascination with this is why the massage shops would even put this info on the listing in first place. If you’re going to a massage shop solely for sex, you’re probably not going to have great experience. If all you want is sex, you should go to the bars. And, if all you want is sex with guys that need to use the largest condom sizes, you should just go to Brazil.

Vclub 7…. My last trip to Thailand was pre-COVID so take this for what it is worth currently but I’ve never had a good experience there. Still, because Bobby (first picture) is lean and smooth and basically everything I look for in a guy, I’ll probably give Vclub another chance.

What does MT as in MT54 mean then? An example is attached. Thailand is just so different.

Thx! I’ll be bringing condoms with me from Merica for my trip next month but am still strangely fascinated by this. Any idea what the GB in GB54 means?

Interesting…. Is there a reference chart or something?

Not recently, but I’ve been to Thailand several time before so I should know this and it’s probably been covered somewhere on here before so I apologize in advance but what does “Types: GB54” in the attached photo mean? Lots of massage listings have similar references and I just realized I have no idea what they mean.

Has anybody been to Ganymede recently? One of the guys there is exactly my type but it’s been several years since I was in Bangkok last.
