You’d think so, but I don’t believe I’m the only one who has run into problems like this before. As with most things, it often comes down to money. Here’s how it usually works: you book a hotel room for two people. You arrive and check in alone. Later that night, you go out, meet your +1, and bring him back to the hotel. At the reception desk, when you ask for your key, the staff suddenly tells you there’s an extra charge for your guest. You explain, “I booked and paid for two people,” but they reply, “Yes, but you checked in alone.” Then they point to the fine print showing that policy. That’s why people often ask whether guests are allowed. The real question usually isn’t if you can bring someone, but whether the hotel will charge you for it.

A Freshman!

100% what @jimmie50 said. Another thing to consider is your location. Thailand is the perfect hub from which to explore SE Asia. Tickets to most big cities in the area are cheap and there is so much to discover. I'm not interested in Germany, Belgium, Italy and you can go up and down the list of the countries here. Vietnam, Philippines, China, Japan etc. is a very different story. I'm coming back to Thailand soon and will be staying for at least a couple of years. I might not leave the first months, but soon enough I will be looking for adventure in aforementioned countries. I'm also a planning a long stay in Medellin in 2026. So next to finding some meaningful daily local activities, don't forget the surrounding countries, and that there are also adventures to be had by just driving up north or south in Thailand.

I feel the same way about religion. I usually keep that to myself but you dragged it out of me.

Since Olddaddy is MIA, I thought I'll start a topic. Usually the conversation are about people not being able to get it up and the remedies, the blue pill etc... The last years I noticed that my sex drive has gotten less over time. Now, I have no problem with erections but the mood eludes me. This has a few advantages. Firstly, it saves a lot of money. Not only because I don't pay boys, but going out in general is much cheaper. You stop thinking with your dick and make more sensible decisions. I also noticed that I'm not falling in love anymore everything I see cute boy. I guess it has proven that what I used to call love, others would call being horny for a guy. A couple of years ago I had a brain wave (fart), I bought some Testosterone and had some girl in one of the clinics jab me once a week. Yeah, indeed, speaking of more sensible decisions. 🤡 This time however, I wanna do it right. I miss those days of "falling in love" and being (not 19 Gent club 30.000 baht) stupid with my money. Does anyone have experience with this? According too chatGPT, the tests in the picture could expose values that are off and by addressing those, I might get my Libido up again. I do understand that there is a whole psychological side to it, but I am trying to reduce stress and getting more exercise. I made some life changes and lost 15 KG in the last few months. I'd love to hear other peoples experience or even thoughts about this.

That guy ringing the bell was no spring chicken 😅

Personally I have no experience in Taiwan but I know that my friend who is blond and in his late 50s has tons of boys in there. I know he never pays, not even in Thailand. I've been all over the world with him and am still amazed how many boys he can get and how these boys often fall in love with him. It is CRAZY! And if you wonder how he doesn't pay in Thailand, he doesn't meet Thais anymore since a couple of years. He gets his boys from Grindr and DJ station and they are from all over, never from Thailand. @ChristianPFC I was wondering if there were many boys in Taiwanese gay scene that fell into the category that you like? I know the type of boys you post on your blog and of course the two times that we have met in Pattaya and Bangkok also gave me some clues.

I know Diamond that someone else mentioned, and that is a fun place. This 19 Gent club seems to be on a whole different level. I miss the days of the gay clubs we had in Pattaya so I might go Bangkok more often. I wonder what ringing THAT bell means. A drink for all the boys? bell.mp4

That made me feel like an owl...who?

Well, I assume you are talking about a date you made via the apps. I mean, being lazy and having room service might sounds nice, but there is a list of things that can go wrong. Even none pay dates via Grindr etc. should not be able to find you. For me, the best place to meet is in a mall or any public place where you can sit and have a drink. Photoshop is real, but I had boys using pictures of other people/friends. In Vietnam, one came to my house and when I confronted him with it, he said "because my friend is cute and I am not." That was the last time I met anyone where I stay. One of my friends usually meets guys in a park during the day time. When they are not his type (read ugly to him) he tells them that they are to young 😂 If you don't like them and it is a pay date, you can give them some taxi money. But don't Wimp out if they lie to you. Don't reward that behaviour by giving them money. So what is the Scoop?

Here you go: https://unionspace.co.th/90days-reporting-thailand.php

Well, you are probably all set, but for others. That is View Talay 2. But you have two buildings A which is very convenient near the road, building B might become irritating to walk to and from all the time because it is way in the back. I would prefer that over the Venue or something similar. I mean, the sea is right there, why not have a room with a view? But I guess that is a matter of preference.

Windmill 1 or 2 to be exact.

Let us handle your 90-day reports. One time? ฿900. But wait, if you want to make life easy and pay for 4 times in advance… that’ll be ฿4,000. 🤦‍♂️ Only in Thailand can a ‘bulk package’ mean paying more per service. Brilliant.

As I remember, you and my type differ so can you tell me more about the types that run around in the clubs. Also, what do you mean with "but the cover charge"...you mean that the boys can't pay it or it is to expensive in general?

I don't think there was such a thing as film either in 1881. 😂 But I can surely see myself reacting the same before my first coffee.

One of the few videos which does not show the year it was made in. In the comments they talk about mid 60's but I would guess 50's myself. Mr Egg, made an interesting video a few years ago. He followed the same path as a few Dutch bikers and had the old footage next to the new footage. Not wanting to hijack the thread 🙂

I am afraid most of you have missed Songkran, luckily someone filmed it Warning, if you don't know the channel you can get lost in it for hours.

Did you write this? Reads like something that would be written on Gay Utopia 20 years ago. 😀 Are there any pictures of the festivities?

If they were not sitting with you rather only came to pick up the money while you were inspecting the goods, I can not image Beer would be angry about that. Some cheap Charlies do try to abuse the system. Beer provides the venue and is entitled to make some money as well as the boys.

We need to stop living in the past.

I went last March and left again in September. I couldn't even make it a year. The same reason but different circumstances. I got bored even though I am a Digital Nomad. So I'll change my approach. I'm gonna spread my year over a couple of countries and fit Thailand in during the low season. I guess this might work for a retiree as well.

I guess the amount of cute guys has not changed in Thailand. You can see them everywhere. What has changed are the available cuties in the bars. Not many stunning twinks, if you ask me.

Say what?

I went out too last Saturday. Some nice boys around in Jomtien and not many farangs. Winner I visited two weeks ago, but I couldn't stand it in there. Too hot for my liking. I told Paul when I left.
