It was this post by jomtien on the trail about numbers of sexual partners that put the thought into my head - of the possible superiority of monogamists to butterflies. I don't think he was claiming any superiority in the post? "Well, I've lived here about 4 years now and haven't had 15 different partners here yet. Of course, at least one old fart has accused me of having something wrong with me! I suppose it all depends on your primary reasons for moving here. The sex is certainly a plus and in my top 5 reasons, but not my be-all and end-all. There must be a similar freak here somewhere :-)" I wonder where, in peoples top 5, of those who move or holiday here wo…

Is it morally superior to wish to have one person in a monogamistical relationship to being a butterfly? The Western current ideal ( historically quite recent ) is for true love to blossom - she a virgin and him with a little discreet experience - and to live happily together all their lives in such bliss that the thought of sex with anyone else never enters their consciousness. There is a gay equivalent to this. I accept this ideal but know that it is as rare as hens teeth if not rarer. The general ideal is not for everyone and I have settled down to mini relationships with several boys and occasional forays to bars, beach or wherever. That suits me well and I …

CNN had a good article on percent of men and women's sexual partners over a life time. I think they did not ask anyone who lives or visits Pattaya often. LOL I know some of us would have skewed the results. http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/06/22/sex.d...t.ap/index.html

TOO MANY LIVES CUT SHORT There is growing concern over the country's high infant mortality rate Bangkok Post "The bodies of 47 babies lay lined up in a row in two coffins at Wat Apaitayaram, their small, lifeless corpses awaiting collective cremation in a ceremony held quietly, with only a few mourners there to say their goodbyes. Such scenes are becoming alarmingly common, with infant mortality rates a growing concern in Thailand. Most of the babies are victims of severe physical disorders and diseases resulting from unhealthy pregnancies. According to official figures, some 55 young babies die each day, or around 20,000 a year, due to medical complications _ …

Airport tout war going badly Bangkok Post By Wassayos Ngarmkham Police who promised to end the operations of the operations of cheating unlicensed black-plate taxis and illegal tour guides at Suvarnabhumi airport by mid-June have admitted a first-round defeat - but will try again. Last month, Pol Maj-Gen Wut Liptapanlop, deputy chief of Police Region 1, vowed a major crackdown that would take the touts and illegal guides out of the airport within 15 days.

On Sunday, Pol Maj-Gen Wut urged Airports of Thailand (AoT) to apply tax laws to curb the illegal operators, and vowed it would take just 15 days.

But police have essentially given up. The new plan to halt t…

Blatant Gambling on Jomtien Beach caught on tape. Pattaya City News At first glance this appears to be a group of young men enjoying themselves on Jomtien Beach. What is in fact going on here is an illegal gambling event taking place in broad daylight. We obtained these images from a source at the CCTV Center bases at Pattaya City Hall after we received complaints from members of the public who are amazed that groups of gamblers such as these appear not to be concerned about the possibility of being arrested by Police. We can confirm that Police based on Jomtien Beach were contacted by the CCTV Center on this occasion; however theses groups are using a group of well-…

I have been taking care of some family business recently and setting up some trusts for my sister’s children. It is very easy to do in the USA and I am very comfortable with the situation. I have one boyfriend in Thailand that I also want to be sure he is taken care of for a long period of time. I want to buy a house for him and his family but I want to insure it will not be sold off at the first chance money is needed. Is there a way that I can purchase a house there and it be in the name of my BF but without his ability to sell the house for a certain number of years?

I have been researching different charity rides in various countries just for the fun of it. I ran across one in Thailand that I liked. It is called the Tour de Thailand. http://www.tourdethailand.com/ They are not a gay group but the money does go to charity. Has anyone heard of this group or ride? The charities listed are the Max Foundation and The Foundation for the Blind in Thailand. I have not heard of either but hope that others have and can give some information. Is the Foundation for the Bline part of the group that does the Blind Massage in Jomptien? Here is what I found out about the 2 groups. The Max Foundation is a U.S. Based 501 ©(3…

Menace of the dangling dolls - The Nation The Chiang Mai Transport Office will crack down on the recent trend of drivers hanging cute dolls underneath their vehicles or from their exhaust pipes by fining offenders up to Bt2,000 from July 1, though some motorists feel the authorities would do better to focus on other traffic violations. In Bangkok, meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police are checking to see whether the practice runs counter to any existing laws - possibly the law prohibiting the installation of unauthorised items on vehicles, which is punishable with a fine of up to Bt1,000. Chiang Mai Transport chief Chanchai Kilapaeng said yesterday that hanging …

buzzard Cruiser on Cruising for Sex Thailand moved again I had not been out to the "Pong" in a few months, so I talked a friend into going with me on a field trip there on Saturday night. We met for dinner and he told me he had just walked down Patpong Soi 2 and discovered that Screw Boy had moved back into their old location again. I was skeptical, but sure enough, there it was; reopened for business in the old spot. 

But...it's not exactly like the old joint. There are only about four booths on the far left side that have a good view; and those seats put you within arm's reach of the dancers .... who are dancing on tiny separate/single raised platforms. At …

I'm just wondering how different is the scene from Bangkok, Pattaya? I must say, the short/ long time fee in gogo bars is definately lower in Phuket (I know some differ here, but the asking price (before bargain) was 1,500THB to me - and it was 2,000THB in Bangkok). But any feedbacks on the scene in Phuket/ Chiang Mai?

Purachai is Bangkok's favourite for PM - Bangkok Post Purachai Piumsomboon, former deputy prime minister who resigned from Thai politics in January 2005, has emerged as the favourite choice for prime minister in a survey conducted by the Abac Poll. The Assumption University survey – better known as the Abac Poll – interviewed 1,750 Thais and 558 foreigners in Bangkok and surrounding areas. It found that 41.7 per cent of the respondents wanted Mr. Purachai, dubbed "Mr. Clean" for his staunch anti-corruption line while served during the first term of prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, to become the new prime minister. Slightly over one third of the respondent…

The Persistence of Gender: From Ancient Indian Pandakas to Modern Thai Gay-Quings Peter A. Jackson © all rights reserved Bangkok's gay and kathoey (transvestite/transsexual) subcultures are among the largest and most vibrant homoerotic subcultures in Asia.But while pride in masculine homosexual identity is common to Western and Thai formulations of gayness, there is much about being gay in Thailand that Western gay men would find foreign and unexpected. In this paper I suggest that contemporary attitudes to homosexuality and transgenderism derive from an ancient and distinctively Thai cultural source.

Historical linguistic evidence suggests that prior to th…

Monty's Gayote Club Cabaret Theater "SMOKE FREE" .

Transsexual beauty queen buys buffaloes to help poor - The Nation A former transvestite beauty queen has spent her prize money on saving Thai buffaloes and distributing them to poor farmers in Lop Buri to help boost their income.

"Parliament orders sober-zones Bangkok Post The National Legislative Assembly has suddenly proposed a total ban on drinking alcohol at temples, hospitals, places of medical services, drug stores, public offices and educational institutions - to be expanded later. Spokesman Tuang Anthacha of the ad-hoc NLA committee which passed the proposal said the selective ban could be expanded at any time by "relevant ministers" or by a new Alcohol Control Policy Committee ordered by the new law. Under the draft bill, the alcohol consumption ban would not extend to private residences, clubs or parties. A 31-member panel was formed to deliberate the cabinet-sponsored bil…
