Indeed, never enough. Curious about a new owner......

As Vinapu recently reported in the Patpong Comings and Goings thread this is the Dragon & Koi bar(lots of previous reports on that thread) now renamed and with new owner, apparently. https://www.gayguides.com/topic/39457-patpong-comings-and-goings/page/35/#comments

Indeed indeed, and apparently not "in the media" since either. In that context I still think it's an unwise statement for you to make and publish and to be left up on this board.

As you say every one knows these stories, but there isn't one reference that you have supplied that supports the statement that you made that Thaksin bribed members of the Constitutional Court. Given that you have named no individual member of the Court you are in effect accusing them all of being potential recipients of bribes you say were paid to the court by Thaksin. When I pointed out that it wasn't wise to make this statement on a public forum, you doubled down and stated that this Information was in the media. You have clearly not been able to provide any media reference that confirms this so I repeat that your statement is unwise, especially in Thailand, and I think that you should ask Oz to remove your comments, and my responses.

You have missed so much! Happy reading!

Please provide sources confirming that Thaksin was found guilty of bribing the Constitutional Court.

Agreed. We know some of its members were bribed by Thaksin. I don't think that it is wise to state this as fact on a public forum, even if you believe it to be true.

Thailand's Constitutional Court has suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who has come under mounting pressure to resign over her leaked phone conversation with former Cambodian leader Hun Sen. The clip, in which Paetongtarn called him "uncle" and criticised a Thai military commander, sparked public anger and a petition for her dismissal, which the court is now considering. That would make Paetongtarn the third politician in the powerful Shinawatra clan - which has dominated Thai politics for the past two decades - to lose power before completing their term. Her ruling coalition is already teetering with a slim majority after a key conservative ally abandoned it two weeks ago. The Constitutional Court voted 7-2 to suspend her while they consider the case for her dismissal and she has 15 days to present her defence. In the meantime deputy PM Suriya Jungrungruangkit will serve as the country's acting leader. If she is eventually dismissed, Paetongtarn will be the second prime minister from the Pheu Thai party to be removed from premiership since August last year. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9vrrj72xy7o

Seems like some customers will follow his pussy anywhere 😸

Not to mention that it should be embarrassing for an MP of the party that has been introducing anti gay legislation to have been at at a gay drug orgy. Embarrassing for the party too, both the political one and the orgy one!

I think that the huge turnout will be quite a reversal for Orban, after he tried to ban the march completely.

Ah Blanche and the Golden Girls, bless!

I agree. I am reading these reports avidly and thinking this all sounds wonderful, but the form filling looks like a pain and the meeting venues don't seem to be simple, and is there a box to tick to allow for spontaneity! Then think about how much more complicated the form filling would be for a versatile couple looking for a versatile third........555

So much of the main stream coverage is censored like old Japanese porn movies, but all is revealed in this link. This guy also has a future on Only Fans, if he wants..... https://www.facebook.com/FentuoTahiruFentuo/videos/1851723622350281

Guido's attracts customers because of it's location in Soi 4 with it's potential for people watching. Le Bouchon attracted customers despite it's original location in Patpong Two, as the food has always been excellent. Therefore while Le Bouchon has thrived in it's new and much expanded location, that success is less likely to be replicated if Guido's make a move.

As the above example demonstrates, where the negative comments are quoted and repeated in another's posts, you can't block it out, even if you were inclined to. I think your comments(why let others ruin it?) are best directed to others. If you feel you are making a positive contribution to a forum that you enjoy, but others shit on your contributions, why bother? It takes effort to make these kind of personal informative posts, you know what the ironing is suddenly looking more attractive!! I've answered your query, if you don't get it you don't get it. I miss the contributions of those who didn't feel able to continue contributing in these circumstances. Who wants to leave bullies and abuse unanswered?

12is12, I don’t think anyone is saying it is a good idea to stop, I think it is sad if anyone reaches that point but understandable. A forum is supposed to be a place of fun, with an exchange of views and information. The most enjoyable posts are those where people expose a part of themselves honestly, their character/ their journey, while informing and entertaining in their individual style. It’s just life and we the readers engage with them. But through their honesty they are also exposed. If posting becomes no longer fun through repeated personal attacks and critiques of their writing style and accusations of rule breaking it’s not surprising if they just decide to stop. Why take the trouble to post if you just keep exposing yourself to attack. Another and very different example of it here. https://www.gayguides.com/topic/76370-tunisian-military-has-a-lot-to-offer/

Thanks. Too much of a palaver every time you go in or out for me

+1 But good to expose the hypocrites.

The attempt to suppress the march looks likely to backfire with this years parade forecast to be the largest ever. Record numbers of people are expected to take part in Budapest Pride on Saturday, with Hungarians joining forces with campaigners and politicians from across Europe in a march that has become a potent symbol of pushback against the Hungarian government’s steady rollback of rights. “This weekend, all eyes are on Budapest,” Hadja Lahbib, the European commissioner for equality, told reporters in the Hungarian capital on Friday. “This is bigger than one Pride celebration, one Pride march. It is about the right to be who you are, to love who you want, whether it is in Budapest, in Brussels or anywhere else.” The country’s main Pride march was cast into doubt earlier this year after the country’s ruling Fidesz party – led by the rightwing populist Viktor Orbán – backed legislation that created a legal basis for Pride to be banned, citing a widely criticised need to protect children. The government also said it would use facial recognition software to identify people attending any banned events, potentially fining them up to €500 (£425). https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/28/budapest-pride-rallying-cry-orban-rollback-of-rights

So if you are returning to your room from an outing, you need to take two lifts to get there, eg one to hotel lobby and then another one to your room?

If that is slim pickings I am a teenager!

Cambodia halts fuel and gas imports from Thailand as crisis simmers. This simmering crisis doesn't seem to be being reported as much in the Thai Media. Although our intrepid reporters advise that it is nevertheless impacting on the available Cambodian guys in both Bangkok and Pattaya. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/22/cambodia-halts-fuel-and-gas-imports-from-thailand-as-crisis-simmers

@alexch Please continue sharing your information and expertise, either in this thread or a new one, and don't be discouraged by one troubled poster. As you can see from other posts and likes there are quite a few interested in this topic, and we appreciate your input.

Viktor Orban's increasingly extreme attempt to associate homosexuality with paedophilia, in order to drive homosexuality back into the closet, seems to be reaching a fulcrum with the banning of the Budapest Gay Pride march next weekend, on the grounds that it might be seen by children who would be forever scarred(or seduced?) by the event. The libertarian Mayor of Budapest(challenger to Orban in the next national elections) is determined that the march should go ahead and European MEPs and human rights activists have pledged their support and to be present on the march. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2k1d7dlgzko
