"I did not sleep on the plane and to add , two ladies sitting in my row were yakking quite loudly for most of the flight." This is where a good pair of noise cancelling headphones, and a decent selection of music can really help. The noise cancelling should take the edge of the yakking, and the decent music should cover the rest. I won't fly with out them!

Thanks... Castro is the show bar I think we went to. Was camp and fun, and some good looking boys performing I might have to spend a few days there checking each out now

So I've been to Pattaya once, for only a few nights. We went to Boyztown one evening, and I found it quiet... I think it was low season, so that's probabaly why. I'm planning a trip to Thailand later this year - November/December. Solo this time. I know that there is different areas, Boyztown, Jomtien and Sunee... whats the differences between them? Do they have different vibes? Attract different crowds?

I'd suggest its a paradise compared to some drab and boring run of the mill town in the middle of nowhere, with winter bringing short days and cold weather that doesn't agree with old bones But one mans paradise is anothers hell, I guess

One that has sandy beaches, warm weather and lots of eye candy.

Sometimes the reality does not match the fantasy. But if you do not ask, you will not get.

Yes, I can see how farangs who move to Thailand to be with a Thai boy, and do not put the effort in to build/maintain a social network of friends may find themselves stuck and alone; with the choice seeming like to be lonely in a paradise, or lonely in greyer, colder climes.

It was 30-40 years ago. We're talking about men today who 40 years ago were in their 20's and 30's. One can always make new friends, but these friends do not have the benefit of experiencing your life with you. You can't replace a friend who shared your formative, prime years with you, who remembers those funny stories you'd rather forget. Who can remind you of all the good times you might forget. And vice versa. It gets harder to forge those kinds of connections. And if one lost a lover? Grief can be painful and long lasting. It's just a thought. Another might be that they're a product of the changing times. Men who followed the pattern of society; find a girl, get married, have kids.... and soon found themselves at 50+, with the kids having flown the nest and an unhappy wife, and in a society that now widely accepting of gay people. They leave their life behind to try to capture their lost youth, severing ties with their old social networks... and failing to find a new one. Just hypothesis

I wonder how much of the lonileness seen among older gay men today is due to the AIDS pandemic taking so many friends and lovers of that generation.

If you can't be famous, be infamous. I don't think we need to give the man views. Let his abhorrent video sit in the mire of obscurity.

Didn't know Leo was made by the same brewers as Singh. I do prefer Singh over Chang tho.

Except they know at some point, they'll lose their looks and their customers. If it were me, I'd be aware that I had a limited time to make as much money as possible.

TBF, I'm not sure how desperate for cash I would need to be to offer sexual services at not ridiculous amounts. Then again, I very much doubt I would be in high demand even if I did

I agree with Andrew Sullivan to an extent. As much as I enjoy seeing all of a sexy guys body in pics on the apps, I find it takes a certain... frission out of the whole thing. If I meet a guy in a bar, I don't know what he looks like under his clothes. The is a certain mystery that unravels naturally as you "hook up". The apps can't really offer that. Easier access to porn is a double edged sword; guys tend to be better informed about what turns them on and what does not, and I think thats a great thing. But it also causes unrealistic expectations, and addiction.

If one is going to some one off sex party /orgy, I can see why the risk vs benefit equation of taking Doxy-PrEP balances toward being more beneficial. But if it is as regular as every time one has sex... then that would push the risks much higher.

Becuase they get eyes on them. And thats a commodity that advertisers want.

I think you're mostly correct, but perhaps misvalue the difference for them between meeting you and not. If you will not pay for their content, they will not get the 330THB. The content will still exist, they've made it already and presumbly others are paying them for it. So the choice for them still remains: 1000THB or not. You might sweeten the deal if there is some way you could help them create more content since fresh new content is what drives their onlyfans

Might I ask, what attracts you to border towns? To my mind they seem like they would be dull affairs, but I would be very happy to have my opinion improved.

In my experience, and it might not be as extensive as others on here, but nationality isn't really the thing that divides people. They're just lines on a map, defined either by how wars ended, or how some white european decided to slice up land during colonalism. Nationalists like to project the idea of a national culture... but in reality it is always a mixing pot of different, sometimes similar, cultures. When it comes to people, who they are and how they treat with you depends on so many different factors. Pretending it can be easily be explained by nationality alone is just fooling oneself.

I was there for a very brief visit a few years back. I went to Elskar club, and had a really good time and found a hot guy to take back to my hotel. More generally, the fort and its WW2 museum are really interesting... and its worth a trip up to the Ski Jump to get great views.

Onlyfans is free to create an account on. It works based on subscribing to content creators. Some offer free subscriptions, with requiring additional payment for special pictures or custom requests. Others charge a monthly subscription for access to their content. They tend to also be more responsive to messages, since you've paid for the privilege to message them. Generally, you're right that its a look not touch thing. However, I have heard that some creators are also MBs and will do also do meets. However, if you're needing to pay $10 to even talk to them to find out if they will meet, its perhaps not the first place one should look for that.

Yep. I don't have any knowledge beyond what is known via news reports. I can make no judgements myself. Just expressing how things might go now.

Yes. This is the case. Spacey may still face civil court claims which relies on the balance of probability, rather than beyond reasonable doubt.

Obviously I can't speak for your bank, but I'd imagine there would be more hassle if your bank debit card was stolen. Most banks that offer a banking app will also have a website that you can use to access your account and/or offer telephone banking services. Usually you will have one set of credentials to access your bank account via a banking app, online or telephone. If your phone is lost or stolen, you can still access your bank account via the website or by calling them. The loss of your phone shouldn't cause your bank to want to change any details.

I'm not sure why you are reluctant to do so. Many modern smartphones are very secure for most people. In every story of a scam you will ever read, you will notice the common element: the victim was tricked into giving information they should not, and following the scammers instructions on installing software that gives the scammers access. The best defense is essentially being aware of those facts. If someone asks you for sensitive information, this should put you on guard and make you think about how genuine they are. If they ask you to install software, this should raise all the red flags. These are not high tech criminals. The people with the skills to hack phones are either working for state-level actors, cybersecurity companies or they're ransoming companies for $$millions.
