Gay Thailand

http://www.bangkokpost.com/forum/viewtopic...?f=21&t=913 We should all read this thread on a forum on the Bangkok Post website. It is titled KICK OUT THE FOREIGNERS!! It shows a lot of good reasons not to kick us all out, but is very interesting reading.

On April 2 my Thai friend and I went for his interview at the US Embassy in hopes he would get a USA visa. We spent the last 2 months getting what was asked for in the US Visa sections. Photos, bank books and bank statements, ticket receipts for trips we have taken outside Thailand together, evidence of assets owned showing he would return to Thailand. We even bought a suit for him to wear (which my friend hated to wear). But he really looked handsome in my eyes. At a friend's suggestions I even crafted a letter to the Ambassador explaining our long term relationship At 6:45 am we lined up in front of the embassy so we would not be late for his interview appointment.…

According to an article in The Nation on April 2, "Porno media have been on the top list of complaining lodged to a new hotline website over the past five months." Of 324 complaints, 122 were porn pictures, clips, games and tales, according to Pairash Thajchayapong, president of Internet Foundation for the Development of Thailand (IFDT). "Our website caretaker team has collaborated with 54 webmasters taking care of the complained websites to remove the inappropriate parts, passed on 182 complaints to police to take legal actions and informed 56 internet service providers (ISPs) about the improper parts, but we could not take action against 32 websites, which 60 …

I am thinking of using the Thai flight form La to Bangkok. This is a non-stop flight . I was to fly the one out of New York In December but it was cancelled. They have not started it back as of yet. Have any of you heard if they are thinking of starting this flight again. Or have you heard of any news about them stoping the one in La. I know the one in La used to fly every day now its a few times a week. I am usuing my miles and even though i am on the East coast it would be easier to go through La than to go through Boston , Frankfort then Bangkok. If you know any thing about this flight please post it Thanks Skeet

I have 3 friends from Kuwait. All 3 are ladies. I have been in great conversations with them about sex and the younger generation. They are all in their early 20's. They have traveled the world and have money to keep traveling for life. They have visited Bali, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia and many other places in Asia. When I asked them why they have not visited Thailand, they all said that in their country if someone says they visit the kingdom, it is a shame for the family as it is known that the place is a center of sex workers and that many men from their country go there for only that reason. Being open minded, they are willing to change their minds and vis…

I have spent 2 nights in Pattaya and these are my thoughts on Bars. I usually spend 3 or 4 weeks here but this trip am spending most of my time in Bangkok Started off with Sunee Plaza Bars on a Monday night early. All visits made before 1030pm. Jimmy Jimmy James had maybe 10 boys not so attractive IMO and on the young but probably Legal side. Although this is the normal offering there, I was disappointed in the quality of the boys. Same for Euro, Former Kaos Sundance etc. Krazy Dragon was always a favorite but the boys in there looked like Street Trade. Granted it was a Monday night and I understand boys come and go there without a fixed schedule. But it was so …

A massive campaign to strictly control alcohol and ban its sale in gas stations across the country will kick off next week in a bid to raise awareness about the danger of drink driving during Songkran, Deputy Public Health Minister Manit Nopamornbodi said yesterday. He said provincial health office chiefs would be asked to check petrol stations across the country for alcohol sales. The ministry would warn gas station owners still selling alcohol to comply with the law, then any offenders who break the law would be prosecuted. Under the Alcohol Control Act, service station owners and grocery shops located in gas station compounds are banned from selling alco…

The following appears in THE NATION: _____ Olarn Wants Baht at 37 to US Dollar By Achara Deboonme The Nation Published on March 30, 2009 The United States and China, with a combined injection of over US$2 trillion (BtBt71 trillion) into their economies, would help the world to stage an economic recovery but Thailand still needs to lay its hands on some problematic areas, economist Olarn Chaipravat said. "The US and Chinese policies have made it clear that both will engineer the global recovery and the world should move in a more orderly way. "The question is whether Thailand is on the curve or behind the curve," he said in an interview. …

Two of my favorite gay personals web sites are: Gay Romeo: http://www.gayromeo.com and Gboysiam: http://www.gboysiam.com/picpost And those are just two of them. There are many more. Every day there are new profiles posted. On Gboysiam there are literally dozens of them every week, often every day, and that site has been there for years. Do the math. I'm grossly underestimating when I say there are at least 5 new profiles every day. There are usually many more than that, but if there were only 5 every day, that's at least 1825 new profiles per year on that web site alone. Where are all these boys coming from? And these are the ones who have…

The media seems to be stressing the possibility that the protesters may try to close Suvarnabhumi Airport again, in their efforts to oust the current "government of the month." Some government officials have also expressed concern. However, so far there has been no attempt to close or blockade the airport. Everything seems to happening around the Government House area. I have no idea whether the airport is actually in jeopardy or whether the concerns are nothing more than media hype. However, according to THE NATION, the number of protesters has reached somewhere between 30,000 to 40,000. 2000 police officers have been stationed at the airport in case of an atte…

Thai 'Spider-Man' Rescues Autistic Boy BANGKOK (AFP) A Thai fireman turned superhero when he dressed up as comic-book character Spider-Man to coax a frightened eight-year-old from a balcony, police said Tuesday. Teachers at a special needs school in Bangkok alerted authorities on Monday when an autistic pupil, scared of attending his first day at school, sat out on the third-floor ledge and refused to come inside, a police sergeant told AFP. Despite teachers' efforts to beckon the boy inside, he refused to budge until his mother mentioned her son's love of superheroes, prompting fireman Sonchai Yoosabai to take a novel approach to the problem. Th…

Today I received a letter from Bangkok Bank. Here are the significant portions: __________ Bankok Bank understands that you have set up a normal savings account to receive funds transfer under direct deposit program of the United States government agencies through Bangkok Bank. The Direct deposit program of the United States government stipulates that in the event of a person receiving funds transferred from the US government dies or is declared by a court as of unable or of impaired ability, Bangkok Bank is required to hold the funds immediately after the death or court ruling, and return the funds to the US government. In compliance with the US direct …

A few small bars that i love to drink in when im in town are DUCS BAR and THREE ZONE,are these bars still around ?

It's just incredible to me that given the number of arrests, people still think they're going to get away with it. Why do they even come to Thailand at all? Several other countries have ages of consent far younger than Thailand. Why do they come here? Just another item on my "I Don't Get It" list.

Hi It has been over a year since my first and only trip to Thailand. That trip took in 2 days in Bangkok a few days in Laos and then Phuket. I am hoping to go back this June for 10 days. Again arriving into Bangkok. I travel alone and had a great time in Bangkok and Phuket last time. This time I am unsure of what to do. Outside Bangkok are there any other towns or areas that are 'gay friendly'...Phuket had a small gay area ...but what about other places like Krabi....Ko Samui or areas in the North. Last time I went to Laos...realy nice but far from having a open gay scene. What about Vietanm or Cambodia...do they After reading a …

Police have arrested four foreigners, including two British nationals, one German and a US citizen in a crackdown on sexual abuse of minors in Pattaya beach resort, police said Thursday. "There are foreign nationals and networks facilitating sexual abuse of minors in Thailand so we needed to crack down on the crime," said police Major-General Chaiwat Kaetworachai, commander of Thailand's Prevention of Crimes Against Women and Children police division. Chaiwat said the Pattaya clean-up, conducted from November 17 to Thursday, had been assisted by tip-offs from the UK-based Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOPC). Netted in the crackdown were …

The following appears in THE NATION: _____ About 35,000 Protesters Expected to Rally Today Coalition politicians and security advisers braced themselves yesterday for the red shirts' mass rally starting today in the capital that is viewed as setting the stage for an "all-out battle" to force the government out of office. Sources from the administration and security agencies estimate that 25,000 to 35,000 protesters would gather at Government House. If this final push fails to bring about any significant political change, the government would stay in power for a long time, the sources said. Some 5,000 to 6,000 supporters from the provinces would …

Can anyone tell me why all of the parking lots at various store/shopping centers have attendents that hand you a card on entering, and take it back when you exit?? There doesn't seem to be any checks of any kind, and they certainly don't check to see if you made a purchase. This does create several thousand jobs in Thailand, but the cost of all these attendents could lower the prices in the markets??? All Tesco, Big C, Carefour, and Makro that I have visited have several on duty at all times. Lots of baht!!
