--Why is it that the bars don't carry any light beer...San Mingal Light or Singhai Light is available. Everytime I ask why they can't carry "light beer" (half the calaries) the places don't seem to understand ones simple request. (or am I the only one that drinks the stuff)

OK, we all know about Babylon...what other saunas do you prefer in BKK for "slap and tickle"?

This is quite a number of blocked web sites, more than five times as many blocked in three months. The part of this story that bothers me more than any of it is the last sentence in which it is revealed that not only do they not disclose which web sites are blocked, but they don't even disclose the criteria involved in making the decisions. To me, that suggests whoever is involved in blocking web sites literally has carte blanche to block any web site they wish, for any reason they wish, with no standard recourse available to those who find their web sites blocked.

Has anyone stayed at the Tarntawan lately? Can anyone give an opinion on the state of the rooms and bathrooms pre and post renovation? I asked this question on another website some months ago and got a rather mixed and indecisive response. Any comments appreciated.

Two more Bombs went of today tuesday. BREAKING NEWS PM: Emergency decree in city not needed (Bangkokpost.com) Situation in Bangkok was not so violent that they could prompt the government to impose emergency decree or martial law in the capital now, said Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont Tuesday. "The situation hasn't reached that level," said Gen Surayud, adding that the government was not warned about the bomb attacks beforehand. After nine blasts that hit the capital and the neighbouring Nonthaburi province, Bangkok became the bomb target again early Tuesday morning as two bombs hit the headquarters of the Daily News newspaper and the Rama Gar…

Was in the Cartier Cl the other night. As usual there was only one other furlang. I had 3 beers at 150 baht each (SInga as they no longer to Heinekin). On checking bill i said to the owner that i was going to meet some friends, but i would pay of one of the boys and will phone the owner at around 11.30pm to meet the boy. He told me not to pay the bar fine, pay the bar fine to the boy when he arrives. I spoke with the manager at 11.30pm and he sent the boy to my home. It was only for a short time, so I payed the boy 1000 baht for him,300 baht for bar and 200 baht for the motorbike taxis. Total 1500 baht. The boy then asked for another 200 baht, saying the bar fi…

Some of you may remember the film, "The Bridge on the River Kwai," in which it had turned out the bridge was being built in the wrong location. The ground was too swampy to support the bridge. Now it turns out that a similar of problem exists for the entire Suvarnabhumi Airport, and that's why at least one runway is literally beginning to fall apart, somewhat like streets of Pattaya do following a heavy rain.

For Immediate Release: Niddy's Nook has officially been sold to a local business owner here in Thailand. It will soon be transformed into a "boy bar" and will run under the name "The Office." Niddy and Chris would like to give their thanks for the constant support of online users and customers over this past year and a half. Truly, they will miss the comraderie and kindness that was afforded to them by everyone. In a time of slow tourism, it was a wonderful treat to sell so quickly and so successfully. Again, thanks to all and good luck! Respectfully Submitted, Niddy's Nook Promotions

First of all I want to thank everyone who participated in my last thread about hotel accomodations in Sunnee Plaza. I winded up staying at Howards, and with the exception of having the hardest bed in Thailand, I enjoyed my stay. I have a friend in Pattaya who's fallen on hard times and I want to help him out. I'm not sure if there's a Western Union in Pattaya or not, but I do remember seeing a post from Niddy's Nook about offerring this service. I'm aware that Niddy's is sold, but do they still offer this service, where is it now located, and what is the cost? Any information from American Teacher, Niddy, or anyone else would be appreciated. Thanks!

Gents, Spam software has become quite sophisticated and today, for the first time, this message board seems to be getting inundated with it. I request that you do NOT send PMs to the moderators informing us when you spot them. Believe me, our eyes work too and we will get rid of them as soon as we spot them. It's pain-in-the-hind-quarter enough getting rid of the spams. There is no need to add to the difficulty by sending us PM's telling us about the spam posts. It's clogging up our PM mailboxes for no reason and then we have to get rid of all the needless PMs too. I request that you send us a PM about a spam post only if you've seen it sitting there fo…

The new "Weekly Report" is now available online, thanks to the tremendous efforts of those who worked so hard to make sure it continues.

69 is the name of Pattaya's newest gay go-go boy bar, opening less than one week ago. This is another "off-Sunee Plaza" bar, but not off by much. It's a stand-alone bar just off Sunee Plaza on Soi 17. To get there, simply go to the White Night buffet restaurant. On the other side of the street, almost directly in front of the restaurant, that's soi 17. As soon as you enter the soi, you'll spot the bar. The bar is small, but has the most comfortable seating I've yet discovered in the Sunee Plaza area. There were twelve dancers when I was there, all of whom are obviously age 18 or more, but it still doesn't hurt to check the ID of any boy you may want to "off," t…

Rumor has it that there's a new gay bar on soi 33 off from Pattaya-Naklua Rd , almost across from Woodlands. Has anyone checked it out? I suppose it would be for the German population over there...

A thai friend invited me to " Mum Aroi " restaurant tonight. Was pretty amazed of the restaurant look. Very well done and the food was excellent. It is not a gay restaurant but I thought it would be nice to post it, for those that would enjoy a nice evening on the beach, with great mood live music and a perfect seafood meal. I thought I was in Malibu for a moment. I really liked the look and ambiance. It is fairly new and it seems that mostly " High Class " thai people ends up eating there. I only saw 2-4 farangs out of 100 people. My friend said that most of the people comes from Bangkok for the week end. We had 4 dishes and 2 appetizers to share, and 2 glass …

Allen of www.pattayagay.com Dear Friends of Allen I have today been made aware of a grave situation in Allen

Hi Guys will be there in 17sleeps. I contacted someone on stickyrice and basically sought someone to spend a couple of days as a guide and friend. They responded with a very descriptive sex available, fine, however this was followed by a long story of family tragedy. What should i do. As callous as it sounds I am going on my first ever holiday for fun and relaxation not to be saddened by Tragedy. I was looking foremost for a guide for the day, if fun happens at night so be it. I will only be in BKK for 4days then Pattaya for 9, when i will travel out extensively Michael P>S Steff what is your advise as well

Dear Gay Thailand Friends, On The Baht Stop message board, several posters have asked for more information about the Gay Pattayan "Fab Feb" Fundraising event of February 1st being sponsored by the Jomtien Complex Gay Community and they have asked just how the proceeds are to be determined for the benefit of Allen - The Gay Pattayan. I have replied ....and for once ....have let my true feelings about this question be known...for I do believe in "absolute transparency and accountability" when it deals with all charity activity. I will be at the Jomtien Complex and I will be pleased to support their efforts to raise donations for The Gay Pattayan...and, I will…

The following is an excerpt from an E-mail I received this morning: _____ Allen's boyfriend informed me that Allen had surgery last night about 9 p.m. The neurosurgeon installed a shunt which will drain fluid from Allen's brain through a tube which empties into Allen's stomach. He said that Allen was in the Intensive Care Unit but expected him to be moved back to his room this morning.

I'm just wondering if anyone has an idea how much is the university fee for Chulalongkorn & Thammasat for the thai locals. I'd met someone from Thammasat and nothing is happening - although I find is suspicious to associate Thammasat student who's financially challenged (& thinking of going into the bar scene). As I'd said, he is not a bar boy but someone I'd met on the internet.
