Gay Thailand

Hi guys, I'm thinking about returning to Bangkok after many years. Heartbroken that Babylon has closed. I spent many wonderful hours there over the years. The last time I was there, a hot Vietnamese guy flashed me several times while I was in the pool and he was sitting on a lounge. We had a great time in a cabin. I know this site is mostly geared towards those who like to pay for sex, but I (maybe foolishly) long for the days when I could meet guys at a sauna and spend time with them without a financial incentive. Are there any saunas that are anywhere near what Babylon used to be? Not only guys who are interested in farang, but also with restaurant, beaut…

The Bangkok Post is reporting that both the Thailand's Move Forward Party and the Pheu Thai Party are making their pitch to the LGBTQ+ communities as the May elections near. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/politics/2521139/mfp-pheu-thai-pitch-to-lgbtq-

I am just wondering if there's any short time room rental in silom. Want to off a boy but don't want to take them to my hotel .

From The Thaiger Great news for punters, a committee drafting a new law governing prostitution has agreed that voluntary sexual service without criminal penalties should be allowed from the age of 20. Jintana Chanbamroong, head of the Department of Women’s Affairs and Family Development at the Social Development and Human Security Ministry, chaired the committee drafting the new law. The new law is a landmark turn in Thailand’s stance on prostitution, the proliferation of which is probably the country’s worst-kept secret. The new law, initially called the Draft Act for the Protection of Sexual Services B.E., would serve as a replacement for the current Preventi…

From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon Less than 3,000 expats have shown any interest in Thailand’s golden visa and there are no figures on how many of those have dropped out. Data from 10-year schemes in Malaysia and Cambodia suggest many potential applicants fail to complete. The Thai LTR (Long Term Residence) visa was launched in September 2022, but the Board of Investment is now seeking foreign investment companies to encourage the laying of more golden eggs by wealthy foreigners. There are problems to overcome. As Thailand is pushing its brand of LTR, other countries are cancelling their versions. Both Portugal and Ireland have very recently cancelled their…

From The Nation Actress, model and beauty queen Poy Treechada Petcharat married a dashing young businessman from an elite Phuket family on Wednesday. The highly choreographed ceremony followed the traditional Peranakan style, which originated with the first wave of Chinese immigrants to the region six centuries ago. Poy – who won the Miss Tiffany and Miss International Queen pageants in 2004 – married Oak Bhavagha Hongyok at Phuket’s Baan Ar-Jor. The 84-year-old Sino-colonial estate is a museum, a famed restaurant, and the Hongyok family’s mansion. Continues with photos https://www.nationthailand.com/thailand/general/40025336

Hi all, I came across this really interesting video on YouTube about the history and future plans of the Bangkok mass transit system. I really like seeing this sort of stuff. Seems like every time I come to Bangkok, more new stations are opening up which is great! Hopefully all the planned routes eventuate. I much prefer this method of transport whilst visiting Bangkok (when I manage to venture out of Silom that is..)

I'm in Bangkok but I rarely walk past GOD late at night. Does anyone know if it is open again and, if so, which nights?

Men advised against masturbating during video calls by Wassayos Ngamkham February 14, 2023 Pol Col Siriwat Deephor, deputy chief of the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), advises men not to masturbate during video calls, or they might end up being blackmailed. Police have warned that men who masturbate during video calls may leave themselves open to blackmail by gangs using phoney profile photos of beautiful women. Quite a few Thai males, both children and adults, had already fallen prey to these gangs, Pol Col Siriwat Deephor, deputy chief of the Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), said on Tuesday. T…

From National News Bureau of Thailand Rh-Negative blood reserves in Thailand are alarmingly low, with only 0.3% of the Thai population having this blood type, compared to around 15% of Westerners. A panel of experts was tabling the issue during a Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand (FCCT) discussion titled “Death without Donors: Rh-Negative Blood Rarity in Thailand” on February 22. Dr. Issarang Nuchprayoon, adviser to the Thai Red Cross National Blood Center, urged the international community in Thailand to donate blood, as the scarcity of Rh-Negative blood could cause delays in providing assistance to western tourists in emergencies requiring blood transfu…

As mentioned in my first post here, I'm a long-time follower of this forum (going back around 15 years, on and off) but rarely posted anything because from the great fountain of information you guys shared, I don't think I have anything new to add. Once I started sharing (just three weeks ago), I found that I do and should have done it many years ago Although Jason1975 says I should write trip reports, I'm not really up to a full report so I just share tidbits of my Thailand trips and occasionally take a chance to give you some info about Vietnam's scene too since I'm mainly based in Vietnam. I gonna start this tidbit thread with stories about a cheating mamasan in …

As most of you know, my board was the victim of a hack. Moses, the owner of the Sawatdee board, came to the rescue once again. It was quite a challenge to find the hack, but he succeeded and eliminated it. I am very pleased to announce the board is fully restored, on the latest software, and safe to use again. If you have any questions or encounter any problems, please let me know via PM or Email at gaybutton@gmail.com https://www.gaybuttonthai.com

I'll be on a flight arriving at Swampy a little after 10pm, which means I probably won't get to my hotel until a little after midnight. What are my options? Does anyone go to Silom Soi 2 on Thursdays? What about Banana Bar on Soi 4? I've heard it turns into a nightclub after midnight. Does anyone have any intelligence on how happening this place might be late on a Thursday night? What about Silom Soi 6? Last time I was in Bangkok, I was with a couple of young Thai friends in an after-hours nightclub far from Silom. When we left, one of them said he was going to Silom Soi 6 to keep on partying. I had the impression there was some kind of after-hours clu…

Hi guys I want to take my favorite poppers (3 or 4 small bottles) and some sextoys to Thailand. Is that safe to do? In the more than 20 times I did travel to Thailand I have never been checked at arrival at Suvarnabhumi airport! Any advice?

This morning my board apparently has been hacked. Please do not go to my board until we have the problem fixed. I will post another message once it is safe to use my board again. If you try to go to my board now, you will see a message similar to this: _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Website blocked due to a suspicious download Download blocked: LINK Removed by Admin Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocks downloads that either come from websites that see relatively light traffic or may contain potentially malicious content.

Burapa – 2023 – Back to the Culture – Ride for Peace motorbike parade Background Being a new retiree in the Pattaya / Jomtien area I am trying to experience many of the unique Thai cultural events that take place in my new home country, Thailand. This report is about the annual BURAPA Bike Week event that takes place each year (except during the pandemic years) in Pattaya. How did I find out about this unusual event? I am a member of the PCEC (Pattaya City Expats Club) and on 11 January 2023, Richard Rhodes, one of the founders of Burapa, was invited to give a talk about their annual event. Pattaya Mail article about the PCEC presentation of BU…

I just spent my first day in Bkk as a single man. 6 orgasms, and I am spent. Twice with a freebee from grinder, a cute but a little 32 yo chubby Pinoy. 1 massage from a place on Siloam rd. Another Pinoy on grinder which I paid 3000 (he was soooo cute!) 1 hot male guy 1 tawan guy. On top of that I tipped 2 guys to let me fondle them, 1 in freshmen and 1 in dreamboys. Not a cheap day, but I have to say, between hotmale , freshmen and dreamboys. I would probably have all my need met for 6 months.

Which are the gyms where are most gay friendly / frequented in Bangkok?

Those of you living in Thailand are well aware of immigration's 90-day Address Report requirement, which can be done at any immigration office. Some may not be aware that you can do the whole thing online. The programmers have done a good job with this one. It works perfectly and can be done on a desktop computer, mobile phone, or tablet. No more trips to the immigration office. Those who live nowhere near an immigration office, no more mailing in. What you do is log in. Here is the URL: https://tm47.immigration.go.th/tm47/#/login Use that URL on whichever device you have or prefer. If you're doing it for the first time you'll fill out the simple "Ap…

From Richard Barrow Train Guide Starting from Thursday 16th February 2023, the payment method for buying tickets online or through the D-Ticket application will change. From this day onwards, payment can only be made by credit card or debit card. In the past, people had the option to reserve a ticket through D-Ticket and then go and pay at a railway station within 24 hours. However, not all of these people paid for their ticket within the set time period which made it inconvenient for others who wanted to buy a ticket but saw that the tickets were all sold out. People will still be able to pay by credit card, debit card, cash and True Money at all stations around the…

Anyone else having trouble in the last week or so? Sometimes I can’t even connect to the site at all. Often it is very slow to change pages…. if it changes at all. Or is it the problem at my end?

My last trip to Thailand was in February 2020, just before covid hit the world. Finally going there again, in September. Before covid I was a regular visitor of the kingdom. So I've seen the standard tourist places. I'm having planned almost a full month in Thailand in September. So was looking also for something else to enjoy there than just the boys... Any advise on not-so-knows-but-worth-visiting places to visit in/from Bangkok, Pattaya or Phuket are more than welcome! Or you guys always stick to the famous boy-areas in Bangkok and Pattaya...? Hahaha Was looking into visiting Phimai (via Nakhon Ratchasima maybe) and Phanom Rung... But no idea ho…

From Coconuts Bangkok Bangkok’s Lumphini Park will be the starting point for this year’s annual pride in Bangkok as City Hall steps up its commitment to the LGBTQ+ community. For the first time since 2006, the public park will host Bangkok Pride when it kicks off at 4pm on June 4 before heading down Ratchadamri Road and ending at CentralwOrld shopping mall. The route is 1.5 kilometers long and about 30,000 participants are anticipated to join the march. Last year’s pride events were the first held in the capital after a 12-year hiatus, and this is the first to be held since an elected governor returned to power. City Hall’s embrace of the event by providing…

It was reported over in the Sawatdee Gay Thailand forum SGT forum that the former Boyz Music bar / disco has reopened in Pattaya - in BoyzTown. Can anyone confirm ? I checked their former facebook page but it is not updated. https://www.facebook.com/BoyzMusic2019/ Their pre-Covid 2019 information implies that you can dance there and watch their shows. Rumor says that it will open from 1:30am until 4am. (??? special license since the normal closing time is 2am ???)
