Read between the lines: they won't pay someone to check such reports, rather use some probably poor program that arbitrarily deletes images with too much skin.

Sorry to hear about the closure of Cloud 47. I have been once, but it was getting dark already, so not much to see. I hope to find time to go again, before sunset, before it closes. Here the link to stickman: https://www.stickmanbangkok.com/weekly-column/2017/03/bangkoks-best-gogo-bar/ (important to link to the article in question, not the the website in general)

Good new. I will go soon after opening. But 20,000 books? In a library? I own over 1,000. Over the last week, I spent over 10 hours in the book fair in Queen Sirikit Center, and it surely draws crowds! Makes me question a statistic that the average Thai reads 10 words per day, including traffic signs.

I remember the night bazaar from my first trips in 2009 and 2010. Now the entire area, including where the Lumpini boxing stadium was, is flat (concrete/asphalt?) and fenced off, with the occasional event taking place. The boxing stadium moved to somewhere in Ramintra, the night bazaar moved to Ratchadaphisek (near Ladprao crossing)

I don't want a sixpack for myself, I only want a sixpack on my sexual partners. And indeed, sixpack is an important factor in choosing sexual partners. When others pass me in dark areas in sauna, they usually grab my crotch. When I pass others in dark areas in saunas, I touch their abdomen between waist line and belly button, as this gives triple information: skin temperature and humidity, hirsuteness (crab ladder, others euphemistically call it "treasure trail), and sixpack/body fat. Genes play an important part, I know boys who have perfect sixpack and I assume they don't go the gym, they just have it without any effort.

The pool at Pattaya park is 25x12.5 m (measured on google satellite view). I doubt there is an olympic size pool in Pattaya. I guess the pool at Ramkhamhaeng University (National Sports Authority) is olympic (indoor swimming pool under roof, can't measure pool size on satellite view, but I was in several times).

Congratulations to your exploits in Sansuk, I never had much success there. Official name Khao Takiap. Tour agencies don't want to stress tourists with the Thai names and come with stuff like "monkey mountain".

3) What time do you arrive and where do you stay? Consider that it might be impossible or take very long to get to your hotel by taxi/bus/walking if that area is affected by Songkran celebrations. 4) You cannot lay at the beach, but you can lie at the beach. I have seen people lying on towels. That would be between the chair concession, as there is only place for walking between the chairs, but not for people lying on the ground. Depending on tide, the area between chairs and sea might be wide enough to lie down there.

I have several friends who score easily (either getting gay boys for free or propositioning straights on the street for little money). When I ask them "how do you do that?" - "I don't know". I think it's a complex mixture of character, attitude, and what else. Even after many chats I have not found out what exactly, and if I didn't, I probably couldn't reproduce it. I was hoping I could turn all their reports about hook-ups into a flow chart (what to do or say in what situation and with what kind of boy), but I realized it doesn't work that way. However there is one generalization I can make: the Thai are rather shy, and my successful friends make the first move. I am shy as well, and wait for someone to approach me, which rarely works in Thailand. Tourist vs. living here. If you come here for holiday it probably doesn't matter, but after living here for a few years, money boys just get bland. It's what I call "cooperative, but not initiative". I say "do this" and he does this, "do that" and he does that (within reason). But getting my eyes and hands on a handsome body who just lies there doesn't cut it any more. I'm looking for someone who comes up with own ideas in bed, and that would be someone who has a sexual interest in me, and goes with me for free. Very rare that I get "pity sex" for free. But I recall two cases within the last 6 months where the boy just lay there and I could do whatever I want (within reason), just like a money boys, only without payment. Occasionally, I do pity sex as well, when I can't be bothered to fend someone off who is persistent in a sauna, or invited someone from hornet to my room and find out he is not so much my type, but has come to see me. (example see http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2016/12/gay-activities-nov-2016.html, search for Surat Thani)

Songkran screws up the entire month of April for me.

I thought the same, but erotic-wise, Songkran was a giant disappointment. For this year, I'm planning to be in Bang Saen for Wan Lai (16-17 April) for the sand castle festival. Last year failed, I went with a friend by his car, but kilometers from Bang Saen, road was impassable. This year I will arrive before and depart after, provided I can get a hotel room at a reasonable price.

I think 30 minutes would be right. If you do it longer, boy and/or mamasan will pester you for drinks. When I have a boy sit with me, I rather quickly either off him or dismiss him (when I give him 100 Baht and say thank you, the boy leaves).

Did you lose it or was it stolen? Not clear from your post.

Entry to DJ station is 150 Sun-Thu, 300 Fri-Sat. I haven't been Fri-Sat for years as it's too crowded, I want to be able to freely move around. Entry to GOD is 300. Smoking inside allowed, for this reason I haven't been for years. There are money boys in DJ station, and last time I went to GOD one offered his service to me. My success rate in DJ was poor, and as I don't like disco environment (too late, too loud), I gave up going to discos (DJ station as well as Thai discos, except for the few - all places combined - recce visits per year).-

Storing data online gives easy access to security agencies, and to hackers as well? Anyway, I would want all data twice, so deleting from my hard driving and having only online would not be an option for me. When I travel, I log out of all accounts, so whoever get the device, at least doesn't have access to social media and others. Anyway a good idea to limit social networks, emails and other stuff, and log out after use. This way you use password regularly and don't forget it. A "travel device" is probably best solution.

To me it's not clear what's going on. The waiting hall is closed at night anyway. Outside, still under a roof but open to the side, passengers with early/late arrival/departure are sleeping in large numbers, let's say 100 passengers and 10 homeless. I have to take a look some day, paying attention to this issue. It might be a brain fart and nothing actually changes.

Dr. and PhD is the same, German and English abbreviation. I didn't want to put my family name here, so I used my artist's name. Another book I might write: "How I got rich from taking toilet paper from hotel rooms and picking up paper clips from the floor".

"make themselves more presentable" but certainly not justifying 500 Baht more (1000 last time I took a boy from Super A versus 1500 last time I took a boy from Soi Twilight or Screwboys, both cases about 2 years ago). And anyway, everything they do to "make themselves more presentable" is rather detrimental. In 2014-2015, I tried to get boys I had offed from bars to come to my room for 1000 (when I paid them 1500 when I offed them from the bar), with limited success, the problem probably not so much the money than space-time coordination (instead of a sure customer before or after work, but independent travel involved, they rather wait for a new customer who might pick them up at the bar).

You got off lightly, if I were in charge people who throw cigarette butts away would be whipped in public. Tourism attracts scammers. In Bangkok (Silom, Sukhumvit, Khao San), Pattaya, Phuket Patong, density of scammers is much higher then rest of the country. So far, I had 5 cases of theft (and one more attempted, and more that I didn't realize?), one successful and one attempted short-change at money exchange, many attempts at scamming, plenty of cases of money lent and not gotten back (here you could argue, at the time of borrowing they might really have intended to pay it back), one forgotten bag in taxi that was not returned. On the plus side, you can count the about 50 hitchhikes I did in 2014-2015.

A friend goes to Phnom Penh once per year, visits one of the all-male massage places and has all the boys at once, for 20 USD each. I forgot if he sucks all of them or if they all cum on him.

I write about a lot of stuff, but the OP's question is a subject I can not help with.

Daytime activities in Pattaya http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2014/03/daytime-activities-in-pattaya.html

Go to naked days in some saunas, e.g. 39 underground on Sunday, in the afternoon you have daylight. Unfortunately, most activity is in darkrooms (not my style). The place to watch naked shapely guys (but no activity in public) would be the gay hot spring(s) in Taipei.

The only gogo bar in Saphan Kwai, Be High, closed last year. Now there are several karaoke left. There are several threads on the forums. Saphan Kwai gets a tentative recommendation from me. In Sukhumvit there is inter-moustache, I have been about once every year 2012-2013-2014, then gave up because there was nothing for me. Don't even know if it's still open. http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2014/12/inter-mustache-december-2014.html http://christianpfc.blogspot.com/2013/10/inter-mustache-sukhumvit-soi-10.html

In Sun City gay sauna in Paris, the wristband with locker key had a pocket for condom and lube. I have been to Sansuk several times over the years, it's clean and well maintained, but I didn't get much action, so now my visits are rare.
