This is a bit off-topic, but since I started this thread I'm going to indulge myself. Last year I was in BKK and I tried Grindr and had a few (non-MB) guys come over. I was staying in Phrom Phong and each of them indicated they lived in the neighborhood, and two of them offered to host instead of coming to my hotel (I declined to let them host). These were mostly guys in their early 20s (I'm late 30s). They all spoke unaccented English, one of them had been to university in the UK, and at least another one owned a personal car (not a motorcycle). A third wasn't Thai at all but was Chinese on holiday in Bangkok and, from conversation, seemed to have no discernible source of income but would go from one holiday to another. The other two (who were Thai) were somewhat evasive about their occupations when I asked, though one recently texted me and said he's coming to visit friends in the U.S. in July. Anyway, based on the foregoing, I wildly speculated these guys were probably either of an upper socioeconomic class in Thailand or part of an organized crime syndicate LOL. Anyway, is this all usual or customary or was it just something I experienced or was it just the neighborhood I happened to be in?

I was in BKK last year and went to KMan-Spa twice. On their website they have "T" and "T&B" on each guy's profile ... "T&B" are willing to bottom which were the only ones I tried. That said, one had great difficulty and we eventually stopped and finished using alternate methods (which was fine) and the other acted like I had a 12" dick (I don't). So, anyway, size seems to be an issue, even if your size is average. I'm not entirely sure why that's the case with professionals.

Thanks much - is it safe to say Tops generally won't provide oral?

I understand what T&B means. I also understand that a "Top" (for instance, at K-man Spa) will not bottom. But will they do everything short of that? If you get a Top are they expecting you to receive?

aight, well this still seems like the craziest massage parlor in the world but I'll give it a try definitely looking forward to the walk of shame through a line of american kept wives getting pedicures on their girls trip to asia

Thanks for the advice, all. Long story short, he wasn't, so I'm glad I didn't ask "how much."

When you go in, do they ask if you want a male massage? I won't just randomly get a woman who wants to give me a manicure, right? Ha!

BKK Okay, good to know - I guess we'll see!

Not taking sides one way or the other on the underlying issue here, however, technically Defamation is only a criminal offense in 17 U.S. states. And even in those states, it can only be criminally prosecuted in narrow cases (generally involving malicious and false accusations of sexual immorality) and rarely is ever actually prosecuted. In the rest of the U.S., Defamation is a matter for civil litigation. If this restaurant were in the U.S. it would probably have a good case for a tortious interference lawsuit provided it could prove the individual conspired with other people to leave reviews, knowing they'd never eaten there, and with the objective of interfering with the commercial success of the business.

Somewhat related question ... I have a meetup tonight with someone from Grindr. Their profile says "No MB," doesn't mention massages, his pics didn't include any thirst traps, and price never came up in our chat. Is it going to be rude for me to ask him "how much?" or am I (relatively) safe in assuming he's not a MB?

I probably didn't use the correct word. By "alley" I just meant a pedestrian walkway (at least I think it was, I didn't see any cars, but it was dark). That might have been the same one I had.

While we're asking questions ... I have a couple! At places like onespa where you can sort by "available now" I notice a few of the guys I'm interested in are never available. Is that because they're only on call or are they just photos to plus-up the roster? If the former, what is the normal protocol for those guys - do I just message the Line # and ask for a certain guy at a certain time? When messaging a parlor, is it customary to do it in English or should I message them using a translation app? Thanks, in advance!

LOL - I also was told I was "big" and am also average.

Thanks @roughjock and @floridarob! Those replies satisfy my apprehension quite a bit. (I'm not really the hang-out and get to know you type so it sounds like what may not be a selling point for others, may work for me!)

Are massage parlors a safer bet than bars? I think I've mentioned this in another thread, but I notice like Onespa and K-Man label the guys clearly Top or Vers. Just wondering if "Vers" means "Top but will unenthusiastically Bottom with a 5X markup." Ha.
