Gay Thailand

From The Nation While the Thai hotel industry is experiencing a rebound in demand in line with the peak tourist season, concerns are growing over increasing competition from foreign businesses. Thienprasit Chaiyapatranun, president of the Thai Hotel Association (THA), noted that the ongoing confidence index survey revealed regional disparities in concerns, with hotels in central and northern Thailand feeling the strain most acutely. According to a survey conducted by the THA and the Bank of Thailand, around 50% of hoteliers expressed worry about the potential negative impact of foreign investment on the industry. …

Just a few more thoughts on my current trip. Apologies for any repetition. I was in touch with a Vietnamese twink that I met last time, who now works in Goodboys. He was keen that I pick him up from the bar, no doubt to improve his standing with the bar. So I complied. It was easy, fair no of boys, in briefs, twinkish, bar just as I remembered it, really a bit small. So bought drinks, 400, off fee 500, not bad I thought. Good sex! Yesterday repeat with his friend, good time again. I said come direct to hotel, not paying drink and off fee again! Meridien no problems. Popped in to Freshboys, last night, good selection, mainly twinks, white briefs. Pretty ful…

I would love to open a bar in Jomtien complex It has to be double shophouse I don't ladyboy shows even though they seem to attract crowds I want proper man boys but that will cost money to pay wages but good idea I want your ideas So a double shophouse I'm thinking Weekly bingo cash prizes Secondhand gay books for sale How can I attract even straight people? Backpackers ? Visitors not just gay men I want to break even on profit if I can as I will retire and get my monthly income from my work so profit is not my goal , obviously I don't want to lose either I was surprised to see that double shophouse bar next to coc…

Look I'm not the first one to advise you of safety when meeting guys ,I have been stung🐝 more than many times I always remember reading a post by christianPLC regarding a boy he chatted to on one of the apps . The boy has asked him to send money to him FIRST before meeting ,I thought that never happened Lo & behold next day I had a gorgeous boy asking for money upfront he said he needs 500b for taxi fare first His location was showing 12 miles away ...I refused,the next day I looked at his profile the pic had changed to a old Chinese guy who was 4000 miles away! Another tip is to use the Grindr video call or WhatsApp before meeting 📸 I…

Had a unmemorable time in Pattaya last week, except for meeting @Keithambrose and @BjornAgain . My stay at the Ambiance was good, still like that hotel, comfortable/clean beds sheets, cold ac, dark as fuck room, which vampires prefer. Someone had asked about the noise, which I've never noticed because I come in after 3am usually, however, one night I stayed in, my sleeping routine was messed up and wanted to rest. I was on the 2nd floor and could hear the noise/music from BBB downstairs, but by 1230am was quiet again. Mike Taxi was ontime and the vehicles they had in both direction were late models and very comfortable. Staying at the Tarntawan, another old reli…

The flights themselves can be through to most of 2025. You need to apply the code EVA24 in the "Event Code" box on the first page of the booking process. The current prices are then updated transparently going forward. I have made my next booking..........

I like the posts I get from Zeus, some very attractive guys. However, looking them up, the shop seems to be very isolated, not near public transport. Is that right, has anyone been there? Comments appreciated!

Lying under my table tonight.

This is a comparatively new hotel on Jomtein. A question. Can anyone tell me how far it is from the Jomtein Complex? Comments on TripAdvisor do not make this clear. Advice appreciated.

Somewhere here, a member asked about the name of Guido's cat. The answer is Cloudy, if i heard right. Staff a bit exercised at present, chasing a rat! Cloudy no help!

Just wondering any members that live full time (retired) in Thailand ? For those of you who live in Pattaya or Bangkok what do you do during the day ?🕺💃🕺🕺 I was contemplating buying a minimum 1 bedroom in Pattaya but I would get bored there full time at this stage of my life 🏢🏥 I couldn't see myself in a studio I did look last time and I would think I would be like to close to Jomtien complex although crossing that road everyday to the View talay's would be a headache Could you live full time in Pattaya or Bangkok alone at this stage of your life? I guess if you had a boyfriend👦♂️ to live with it may be different and someone to be with , ot…

A new shop is preparing to open. Staff will reportedly be male.

I’m coming over to Jomtien in a couple of weeks and have arranged for a guy I’ve been chatting with to stay with me for the week. He’s happy to go with 2000 a day with 300 extra for his bf each day. seems very reasonable to me I just wondered what your thoughts/experiences are.

I have been here 3 days in Bangkok I'm missing Pattaya I'm getting bored ,there's only one gay street to go to and it's getting boring Maybe I should go to sauna here ? The boys are double triple the price of Pattaya 😮they are more sexier though in Bangkok I miss Sansuk sauna and Jomtien complex 😭 I feel depressed 😔 I feel like Pattaya maybe more relaxed for me.🥴 I think the Thai people in Pattaya are more nicer 😧 Maybe I will go back today but I booked the hotel already in Bangkok 😡

I left Bangkok yesterday via Manila🇵🇭 Philippines Airlines pla✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️🛫🛬 Back in Australia 🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺 Next March heading to Hanoi Vietnam🇻🇳 to visit my Filipino boyfriend's company office and maybe take him back to Bangkok for a few days His favourite restaurant was G's in Bangkok 🇩🇪 My favourite place was DJ Station 💃🕺🕺🕺 Well...until next March ...

My first trip to Pattaya. It was a very short trip and due to the buddhist holiday on 17th Oct, none of the bars in jomtien were open. So I had no opportunity to visit any of them cos I'm going to BKK next. Just my impression of the few bars I been too from worst to best. I really like to watch the bar shows so ranking is influenced by that 🤭 5) Winner - things started out alright and the prices were cheap. The boys were on the twinkish side. The place was almost empty when I was there. Bought 2 drinks for 2 different boys. One of the boys wanted another drink and I said no. He left to join another table and they bought him another drink. When I was settli…

I’m back in Bangkok in a few weeks and would like recommendations on gay or gay friendly restaurants. I have in mind restaurants with cute flirty waiters and hopefully good food. Do they exist? Recommendations welcome.

Floridabob's mention of Joe, the papasan whom he met recently and who said he'd been around for twenty years, is one of many guys who made a living in Boyztown for decades. Who recalls "Tiger", a fixture on the periphery of the scene and who is mentioned in MIchael Burchill's history of Boyztown? A go go boy in the late eighties and still around six or so years ago. Sadly, he passed away. And there were a couple of guys whom I offed when I was a butterfly and who were still working in Boyztown only a few years ago. It is amazing how some Thai guys keep their looks. As for Joe, yes, I know him. He was a waiter in P's bar in 2004, always taking a keen inte…

First time I've arrived in the morning in a decade.... was a red eye from India, only a 2 hr flight, I feel pretty fresh as compared to coming after the LONG flights. Arrived at the satellite terminal, 1st time... I've departed from there, was a piece of cake, arriving though is a shit show when more than 1 flight comes in at the same time....maybe it looked good on paper? From landing, immigration, luggage was almost 1st out, to meet mike taxi was 30 minutes in total...not too bad. 1.5 hrs to Pattaya, zero traffic. Ambiance hotel wanted to charge me for early check in, she's kind of new. When I told her I'm a 25 yr customer that books direct so they don't hav…

This is likely first, and perhaps really adding excitement to theming the typical nature of gay massage for pleasure. Mandel spa (considered a soft/super soft shop) is advertising a halloween themed massage. Check it out!

BANGKOK — One Bangkok, Thailand’s most ambitious integrated district development project, officially launched on October 25, 2024 marking a significant milestone in the country’s real estate and urban development sector. The mixed-use complex, representing one of the largest private sector property developments in Thailand, aims to establish itself as a crucial business and lifestyle hub in Bangkok’s central business district. The 1.2 billion baht launch event attracted key stakeholders from both public and private sectors, signaling the project’s strategic importance to Thailand’s economic landscape. https://www.khaosodenglish.com/news/business/2024/10/25/…

I was offered a discount 10% on a Airbnb gift card so bought one for $200 which is $190 However looking at Airbnb vs hotels I am seeking basically the same price unless it's a long stay booking. Any advantage in staying in a Airbnb vs a hotel ? You could say cost but doesn't seem much different 🧐

At home in the Netherlands I never use cash anymore since a few years. But each time I travel to Thailand I am forced to visit ATMs Why don’t the boys use an app that shows a QR code that you scan with your phone to pay them? No cash required Does anyone of you ever pay the massage fee or the bill for the drinks at a bar with your Mastercard or Visa debit card at a POS terminal at the bar? Do these venues have POS terminals that accept bank cards? I have never consciously seen one
