what happened to Vietnam expert @Min?

Thanks! Should I stop posting all of those Myanmar spa boys?

I was just watching a video the other day about all of the empty houses in Japan. I would imagine that it's already far too late for the population. I agree that lack of immigration is a problem. And it's a problem in many places with aging populations that are working hard to keep out people who might help save their countries.

for sure given what seems like such a hidden location They are definitely selling a look. Interestingly their Line info seems to spend a good amount of space hyping the masseurs' physical attributes in a way that certainly implies some things that a bit surprisingly seem to not be on the menu? At least from the automatic translation, for example "-krating Young man with a tight pack. Tall, long, not just hands but... Important, very big (arm)"

I listen to a few tech podcasts and they've been all over this thing. There was an interesting interview with a US highschool English teacher and how she is using it. Apparently it's a good head start on creating lesson plans. And it sounds like smart teachers are recognizing that their students will be using it, so they're teaching them what it's useful for, and what it can't do well. As noted there are frequently factual errors in what ChatGPT outputs. So it might be a good start but it still needs human intervention to fact check. I guess it can also give good feedback on student-generated writing by pointing out what could be improved. I picked up on it being AI generated right away. There's a certain elementary structure to it.

Thanks for taking one for the team! I really appreciate it, especially the directions. Did you book in advance or just walk in? I think I would be quite frustrated if I selected one of those cuties and only got a HJ offer for 3000 baht! I presume he was dressed the whole time?

it's a massage shop so I would guess not likely, but as with everything you can always ask

This place was mentioned in another thread but I am intrigued so I thought I would start a dedicated thread. Prices are very premium, but the boys posted daily on Line are very handsome. If you like defined, skinny youngsters that seems to be their specialty. I will definitely check it out once I get to Bangkok. But if anyone's been there I am happy to hear about it. Close to On Nut BTS. Also would be interested to hear about the onsen aspect

Many hotels will also charge a reasonable amount for a late checkout so you don't have to move hotels. I've paid like $50 for a 9PM checkout at some places.

I've seldom had issues checking in early. It will take a while to get from the airport to the hotel at that time of day. If the hotel has rooms available they will probably check you in. But if you're concerned I would contact them directly to see what their policy is. They might charge a small amount to check in early. In any case probably 99.9% of hotels will be able to hold your bags for you until check in time.

I usually try to arrive late night like 11pm or midnight so I can go directly to bed. This upcoming trip I arrive at 6:30 AM. That is going to be a real test.

It's OK, I'm sure the PRC will be happy to loan them some money to bail them out. Oh wait.

I think depending on my arrival time it's usually day 2 or 3 where the jetlag is worst. Thanks for these great reports. I am about T-8 weeks from Bangkok. Somebody needs to get over to Zoo Spa and Onsen to tell me if it's worth it. 🙂 The boys they post on Line every day are just about all perfect.

still seems a little over-dressed

Given how little money taxis make it's quite likely the drivers just don't know where they're going. It's not like they have to pass that test London cabbies do

those Zoo boys sure are handsome!

exactly, it will be the airlines' job at checkin Richard Barrow seemed to indicate that this will only be until 31 January. But I suppose it could get extended. Maybe they're putting this in place due to China opening up but not wanting to single out the PRC so it applies to everyone

I had a guide in Luang Prabang, Laos many years ago hired via a gay tour company. I think the poor guy was very lonely and starved for male contact as he really latched onto me in a fairly unhealthy way. It took a couple of days before I was able to communicate that I felt like his actions were unprofessional. I did feel badly for him, and if I had been attracted to him I am sure I would have been much more open to his touches. It was a weird situation.

the ignore feature still works well

Some will only respond to messages that include a tip. Apparently some channels are also run by managers rather than the performer himself. I would imagine that popular accounts get a flood of messages so there's no way to even try keeping up with them. Personally I find that too many of these OF channels are too much of a scam - "influencers" who do and show nothing. I presume that you are contacting Thai guys though? So maybe they are different. Are you contacting them in Thai? Maybe they don't bother with messages in English?

US$4800 return seems fairly reasonable to me. Depending on which business class you're getting. If it's the Q Suites and/or one of the A380 flights on on the DOH-BKK leg rather than the old 2-2-2 product on some of the 777s that's good. I booked one way IAD-DOH-BKK for 110,000 AA miles plus some taxes and fees. And after a recent aircraft change it's Q Suites all the way (unless it changes again). I recently paid ANA about $2800 one way BKK-NRT,HND-IAD for a trip this spring with about 10 days worth of stopover in Tokyo. Unfortunately it won't be the super duper business class that OP got to experience, but their fine but not spectacular 787-9 product.

gotta make money for their new shareholders

9-Teen under renovation already? Didn't it just open?
