Gay Thailand

I saw the show at Wild West a few nights ago and must say I was very impressed and will be going back a few more times. The show was a mix of sexy boys and cabaret type shows. It was funny, creative and very entertaining. The seats were comfortable but you must get there about 15 minutes before the 10:30 show to get good seats. The drinks were 150 baht and the place was packed. They have 2 very sexy twins that work that are adorable. It was the first time I have seen a show in Boyztown in a long time that I did not want to get up and leave. I stayed the entire time and enjoyed it from beginning to end. Keep up the great work Wild West Boys. I hope you are a…

I want to see the boys there before I head back to USA. What night is the best night for the most boys? A weekend night?

I am told a huge party is underway at Nice Boys in Soi Sunee for the mamasan/manager of Nice Boys tonight. If past parties have any relevance, this will be a blast. Sorry for the late notice!

Well, Immigration really screwed up on this one. When US Ambassador Kristie Kenney arrived back in Bangkok a couple of days ago from Singapore, she had to endure a "long wait" as the Immigration Officer was "confused" by her diplomatic visa. Eventually she was given a 15-day stay!! She posted the information on her Twitter page - http://twitter.com/kristiekenney Since there is a special queue just for diplomats, the obvious question is: do Thai Immigration actually have trained officers manning that line? In fact, are any of them trained?

and for those who are not signed in: http://i1216.photobu.../SACocktail.jpg The new Cocktail of the Month is the Pina Colada. However, because the Mai Tai was so popular we are also going to continue to feature it. Each only 100 baht.

Just by incident I stumbled on this book, a brand new and expanded and adopted version of an earlier one. Written by B.J.Terwiel, a Dutch professor in Thai language and history, taught in Leiden/NL and the later years in Goettingen/DE, both very famous for East-Asian studies. It has over 300 pages and price is 795 THB, edited in Thailand , by Riverbooks. A mainly scientific and objective description (as he compares both Thai and Burmese and other reports on main events in history) from the early Sukhothai/Ayuttaya period up till last years demo's by yellows and reds (a picture of a ceased army tank for the Democrazy Monument is on the frontpage). His last chapter gives …

YaYa Bar will be closed the evening of Thursday, 3 March. One night only. We are loading the boys into a van and going off to a Staff Development Workshop. (As if they need any "development !") We will be back open on Friday evening, 4 March, with a more developed. skill-honed staff.

Tonight Sunday March 6, we have birthday party for Mr. Lee, dancer. 8.30 Pm until 1 AM free food and birthday cake

From 3/3 till 13/3, so started already, an exhibition under thsi name will be held at RCA-Block D, 21/108, Ram IX , soi 8. Tis is a well-known BKK ''entertainment'' private street (meaning too much booze, too much overloud music and not that much police in). It surprises me it is held there, as by day it is about dead. so enquire about opening times (0-2641-4040). Collages by artists like Panpan Nakprasert, Ohm Pangphiroj, Mark Robbins and Rene Smith. The short announcement syas it explores Queer Teory as an academic discipline, a short interview with the female rene lets her talk about collages from US-mags from the 50/60 ies she makes with nude male models. If it attr…

As an openly gay men who takes boys to his room, I love the JW Marriott in Banghkok. They are great. The rooms are great. The staff is excellent and they have never given me a problem with guests. The VIP room is one of the best in Bangkok. They offer a full breakfast and great dinner. I ate there several times for free as it is included with a Club Level room. They have drinks and free Internet. The best thing about the JW is the New York Steakhouse. It is phenomenal. It is the best steak I have tasted in Thailand. I took a boy I know from Hero one night and we both had steaks and appetizers. He had wine and I had water and soda. The total was a bit ove…

http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/imf-says-weaker-dollar-would-help-global-growth-20110224-1b5yd.html Sydney Morning Herald, 24 Feb 2011 IMF says weaker dollar would help global growth The International Monetary Fund called for a weaker dollar to help the United States reduce its deficits with the rest of the world and rebalance the global economy, in a report released Wednesday. In the report prepared for a Group of 20 finance chiefs meeting last week, the IMF said that its calculations showed the dollar remains "on the strong side" of medium-term fundamentals, while the euro and the Japanese yen were "broadly in line" and several Asian currenci…

Do any of you know the man who operates the Gaybuttonthai.com site? He certainly seems to be (name calling and personal attacks removed by admin) but I only lurk there occasionally. What is he really like?

I am interested in staying at 1 of the following hotels in bkk for a long weekend, Landmark , JW Marriott or the Holiday inn on Silom Can any one recomend one of these ? ( not interested in joiners)

Eros bar Patio open now from 7Pm till 1 AM. Happy hour from 7 to 9 PM and 12 PM till 1 AM. Two drinks for the price of one from the Happy Hour price list.

I ate there last night and had a nice meal. I ate the sizzling shrimp. While it was not sizzling like my friend's chicken, it tasted OK. The place is quiet and comfortable and the food was tasty. The waiters were friendly. The price was reasonable and it is very convenient to Soi 4 and the gay gogo area.

Over a year ago, I took the BF to this hospital and it was a horrible experience. But, recently a friend had a procedure done there and I spent 3 days at the hospital. I was very impressed with the staff, the experience and the doctors. To say I was impressed with the place is an understatement.

when I used google to find this, and a few related sites, this (apparently thus paid link) this site travelgaythailand.com came in top. It seems to be a sub-brand of expedia.co.uk (a very well know ''leading'' as they say, name in www-air and HTL travel bookings), promoting travel bookings to the country we all come to and like so much. Besides this name, it offers nothing, except a few copycats parrotted from other sites. It recommends the ROSE hotel as a good and ''hidden gem'' lower-budget accomodation choice, as they say it is gay-owned. For the young and backpacking budget-crowd they mention various hostels-shared dorms (which BTW cost more per bed as a cheap single…

For those who travel a bit, here's a short quiz about subway station names. It's not easy unless you've been to those cities (at least I reckon it's not!) but it might provide a bit of light relief. Question: in which cities will you find the following subway stations - Austerlitz Bryn Mawr Buenos Aires Concord Danube Europe Franklin D Roosevelt Moscow Nation San Francisco Stalingrad Theydon Bois Clue 1: They are in 6 cities in what are generally described as 3 continents - but some might argue just 2! Try without cheating first. By all means post how many stations you got right, but please do not post the cities as you'll deny others the chanc…

there is already a fairly short stretch of it-between SIAM and the Rajprasong crossing, a skywalk, which is a kind of elevated walkway, along the pillars of the BTS=skytrain. This lets you walk off BKks infamous pavements, which are notoriously uneven, with uncovered drainholes, many other obstacles, and if not, taken by enormous crowds of vendors of all things unwanted (but psst-these are poor people, so can only be handled with wollen gloves, they say. Now the BMA (thats the city council, kind of) proposes (it seems not yet to be finalised) to extend this type of walkway all along under the BTS toward Onnut and even the new xtension (ready, but not yet open-wait for th…

Report from freinds and trendy magazines: here in the big city of BKK you may have heard of RCA, Royal City Avenue, or ArSEeA or Ro-Yl SitDee in Thai. This is a private ''entertainment'' road about halfway along the tracks of the old train and new ARL between Makkasan and RamKamHeang stops, also halfway between Phetburi Rd. and Ram IX. Is famous since some 15 years, and has had waves of all kinds of tipical Thai pubescent behavior. Not the least underage (that means <21 ghere-so you need a fake ID to get into those disco's), prostituion, often fuelled by rumours that FAMOUS TV-stars and the like might be seen there! The biggest crowd-puller for the tipical Thai. The p…

It’s official! Drinking alcohol is beneficial to your health! We have been told for years that the occasional glass of red wine is beneficial. Now two studies published in the British Medical Journal show any alcoholic drink a day can help keep heart disease at bay, according to a review of 30 years of research. Specifically, there was a 14% to 25% reduction in heart disease in moderate drinkers compared with people who had never drunk alcohol. Here are excerpts - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12531837
