    As we all know by now dope is now legal in Thailand. That is great for those who like to use it. The only problem is that the shops selling it have decided that they will make their first million on it by charging outrageously for it. I know that the one sold in the US is much cheaper than here in LOS. Perhaps as time goes on these guys selling it will have more and more competition and the prices will drop. But, for now those who use it will pay, pay and pay for it.

    For the past umpteen years I have used the "yellow bank" ATMs. I always got a near-current exchange rate (a 1% currency conversion fee) and it allows a daily withdrawal of 30k baht. The service fee (200B) has always been refunded by my bank back home, so I was always happy. Last night, for the first time, a new screen appeared just at the very end of the ATM withdrawal process which asks if you want THEM to do the conversion to US dollars? I foolishly pushed "ACCEPT" which was a BIG mistake -- the receipt slip informs me that they took an additional 5% currency conversion fee for the privilege of doing the conversion!! This means I lost more than $40 on that transact…

  5. As we know, Tawan and some of the massage places and boy bars are the places to find muscle in BKK. But… any thoughts about finding muscle in other places in Thailand? Is Pattaya the best alternative? Phuket? Koh Samui? Chiang Mai? Also, any thoughts about finding muscle in the region (outside of Thailand), such as Singapore, Bali, Manila, Hong Kong, etc.? ‘Thanks for any input.

    This is second hand information but it is backed up by several people and a website. Opened a couple of years or so ago, the Demont Hostel in Bangsaen between Bangkok and Pattaya is open to all gay men. https://x.com/DemontHostel?t=JCAk0fOTChwjy-Ny8dloHw&s=09 I cannot read Thai and so cannot translate all the blurb on the web page. My friends tell me that it has 8 dormitory rooms with 4 bunk beds in each at a cost of 350 baht per bed per night. The are 4 private bathrooms. Looking on google there is a photo of double matresses but I do not know if they are specifically linked to the ryokan or the onsen - or both. Additionally there are two public bathing ons…

"when you come back bb" "come see me soon krap" "new iphone come out darling, can you buy me my phone break" The waiting back home for the next trip is always the worst, with loving messages of past flings sporadically appearing in Line, they must really miss me. Lucky for me the wait is over and i'm back in the thick of it once again, dodging the guys I should've known better to avoid in the first place while chasing down the new and shiny ones that will soon become the former.

    From The Nation Chiang Mai police on Thursday arrested a Norwegian, 58, for allegedly slashing the throat of his Thai gay lover, 39, at their house in Muang district of Chiang Ma province. Ben Roy Eiek was arrested on charges of murdering of Chalit, who was found with a slit throat at a house in Ban Wang Sing Kham in Tambon Pa Daed at 9pm on Tuesday.

He claimed his lover was killed by an attacker who fled the scene. Police investigators…

    Cannot find a review here of this new place...so... SOL boy bar which is located in the premises previously occupied by Dream Boys , The latter are further along the soi. SOL is a on the ground floor , less than a minute from Fresh Boys near the mouth of Patpong, Suriwong entrance, Seems new furniture and decoration with tiered comfortable seating in front of a well lit stage. The show was ok. Nothing special but some of those in attendance seemed to enjoy it. The boys appeared to be mostly similar to those in Hot Male. Drinks @ 400 baht each, no idea the off fee. If you are in the area, no harm to check it out!

  12. For 2 or 3 years now, anyone living and having a private residence address in Thailand who returns after a trip outside the country has had to complete a computerised TM30 form and send it to Immigration within 24 hours of arrival. This was true even before arrival cards were dispensed with. It's a total pain in the neck and I fail to understand why it is necessary! Those staying in a hotel, B&B or guesthouse do not need to complete the form since the manager of your accommodation automatically does that. Recently we were informed that the website has been changed and everyone has to re-register. As usual with official forms, I got confused by the English on th…

    4 reported deaths; the suspected gunman is a teenager. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/thailand-bangkok-siam-paragon-shooting-police-evacuation-3817086

  14. Are there any cities other than Bangkok and Pattaya that have comparable (or even a single) bar like Dream Boy, Fresh Boy, Tawan and the like that are worth visiting? Searching though the other country forums on this site doesn't turn up much results.

    In the midst of my week-long Thailand jaunt at the moment, and so far, so so. It is the low season ... DAY 1 My flight got in past 5 p.m. on a weekday. Maybe because the Chinese hordes aren't back yet, a situation that looks about to change soon, clearing immigration at Suvarnabhumi took all of 5 minutes. Decided to train it into the city, rather than risk Bangkok traffic at this hour, and, of course, when I arrived in Silom - am putting up at the Quarter Silom, more on which later - it was coming down cats and dogs. There's good reason why September is the low season! Thank goodness I packed a brolly. An hour later, the rain still hadn't let up, and the stretch…

Also exempt will be those who have been taxed in a foreign country that has a standing Double Tax Agreement with Thailand. [...]

    From CNBC Outbound travel from China is surging ahead of the first “Golden Week” holiday period since the country has allowed international travel to resume and even as China’s economic growth has slowed. Bookings for popular foreign destinations such as Singapore, Australia and Thailand have increased 20 times compared to the same holiday period last year, travel provider Trip.com said in a press release Monday. Golden Week, which begins Oct. 1 this year, marks the annual weeklong period that includes the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in China. More than in previous years, travelers are seeking out “unique and immersive experiences,” Trip.com CEO Ja…

    From The Nation Representatives of certain groups on Thursday presented to Parliament on behalf of the public the drafts of three bills in the hope that lawmakers would pass legislation on same-sex marriage, promote gender acceptance, and redefine prostitution. The drafts were accepted by first deputy House Speaker Padipat Suntiphada. The draft Marriage Equality Bill proposes amending Section 1448 of the Civil and Commercial Code, which limits the definition of marriage to a man and a woman, by making the marriage law applicable to any couple, regardless of gender. The draft bill on "gender identity, gender expression and sexuality" p…

    I always thought especially nowadays with increased retirement funds many of the gay farang expats living in Thailand were quite comfortable. This was not my feeling when I went last month, there was even expat bar owners who cried poor to me . And there was several cases I saw on Grindr of older farangs who were selling their services . " hey mate I will suck you off for 500 baht ,interested? One farang was persistent going into detail on what he could do for baht , looking at his profile he was in his 70's ,I guess trying to supplement his pension. I spoke to some expats who were living on their monthly pension around 43,000 baht a month...whic…

    I just had my first ever experience after landing in Bangkok 2 days ago. I contacted this guy (RentMen) and he quoted 4K bhat. I told him I didn't want sex and he brought it down and we agreed on a price. I reached there and before I could say anything, he already had a boner. He took his clothes off and tried to push me. Now, this is not what I wanted. I wasn't there for sex. Was the first time I was meeting someone. I tried to explained this to him but he didn't get it. Turned out he didn't speak a word of English and had been using a translator to talk on WhatsApp. Still, we used the translator to communicate. It was obvious the guy was on viag…

    Hi all - Thinking of making my first trip back to Bangkok since pre-COVID sometime later this year. I've been lurking on the forums for the past couple of years, and I understand that much has changed in terms of the Patpong boy bar scene - the main soi area closing, bars opening, closing, moving, changing names, etc. Can anyone point me toward a current, updated map of the scene? I understand things are more spread out now, as opposed to having most of the bars in one soi. I've always stayed at Le Meridien in the past - would that still be suitably central for nighttime activities (and potentially walking back boys from the bars)? Thanks in advance! Look…
