  1. Not for the nightlife and bars? I feel most of us on this forum will disagree with this article about reasons to visit Thailand... 😂🤣 Prominent Thai doctors against extended nightlife closing times, claim tourists don’t come to Thailand to party and nightlife but for beaches and temples... Thailand – Prominent Thai doctors have warned about the proposal of a 4:00 A.M. closing time extension for nightlife venues in tourist zones which will cause more road deaths, crime, and personal accidents as there is more time to drink alcohol, according to them. Doctor Taejing Siripanich, a secretary of the Don’t Drive Drunk Foundation has given his view about th…

    To current a long story short , My doctor advised me yesterday not to use Poppers before sex ,well not to use Poppers at all actually. Im not the only one to come to his medical practice with a sore throat and respiratory problems he says after using poppers ,had no idea they were "dangerous" to health . They are a relatively new thing for me I must admit , I did use them in the Philippines a few weeks after when I was bottoming 4 young dicks a day on one occasion in the province where I arranged a (paid) gangbang with 4 young farm workers who topped me hard Did they (poppers) help? Not really,gave me bronchitis and a throat infection. For thos…

When I'll visit Pattaya in Nov, will I b able to meet vetrans, if only for guidance? Drinks on me.....

  7. The last few months of traveling I took several flights, Philippines airlines,and Cebu Pacific, To me seating is very important,I can't travel for more than a few hours without feeling cramped so have to end up flying Business class most times I'm 98kg so not overly heavy A few weeks ago I done the most stupid thing,I booked a flight from Manila city to a city in the south of the Philippines called General Santos City,it's a 1 hour flight so I looked online and booked what I thought were great seats ! As soon as I got on Cebu Pacific flight , yep , I thought this is great the 3 seats right up the front of the plane were to myself,I looked back in the pla…

    Has anyone been to Arena lately? An updated report welcome.

  9. This will just be a short update report, I spent a long visit to Thailand a few months ago and this trip was just a side visit because I was 'in the area'. Taking every opportunity that arises I spent a week between Bangkok and Pattaya, too short to get to all of the bars I wanted, but long enough to get a feel for the recovery. My prior trip was still enjoyable, but dealing with the Thailand pass hoops and the shifting sands of closing time restrictions, outdoor 'restaurant' seating only, and other covid measures did put a cloud over things. I'm happy to say a lot of these hurdles are now gone, and the life in the bars is returning. Firstly, getting there: …

    The Thaiger reports that not wearing a seat belt in the rear seat of the car in Thailand will soon be punishable by a 2,000 baht fine. The rule will come into effect 120 days after its publication in the Royal Gazette on September 5, this year. ============== The National News Bureau reports that the Bank of Thailand (BoT) hiked its key interest rate for the first time in nearly four years on Wednesday (August 10), increasing it by a quarter percent to combat growing inflation as the economy recovers. The monetary policy committee voted 6-1 to boost the one-day repurchase rate from a record low of 0.50%, which had remained steady since May 2020, to 0.75 percent.

    From The Thaiger Five pre-op transgender men approached a lawyer for help after a breast removal surgery broker scammed them out of 4 million baht. The born females who identify as men are just five of about 25 to have made complaints about the broker, a transgender man, who took their money, and booked surgery but did not pay the clinic for the operations. The five disgruntled victims approached lawyer Ronnarong Kaewphet for help at his office in the Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi Province. The lawyer and his clients filed their complaint with the Central Investigation Bureau yesterday. Ronnarong made public that the pre-op men paid “Tomway,” the nickn…

  14. Introduction If this pandemic has ever taught me anything, is that to never take anything for granted ever again. My last trip to Thailand was in December 2019. That trip was the only Thailand trip I had that year, having prioritized Brazil and Colombia that year. I was already figuring out that Brazil catered more to my evolving taste for both boys, sex and entertainment, but I was still wanting to go to Thailand because of the food, the locations, and yes, of course the boys. Thailand's unwillingness to reopen as soon as others have (during the pandemic), however, has given me the opportunity to visit Brazil more, thus deepening my connection to that country, …

    Hi all, It is my first time to go to Thailand. Just wondering. I saw many posts talking about going to massage and having real sex for 1000 b tip minimum. But what if i dont want real sex? What if i just want a handjob or blow job and just touch the masseur? Would there be any places like this with lower min tips? thanks in advance!

    I sometimes ask the lads I meet if they have had vaccines and if so, which ones. There's quite a mix. Some have had 2 AZ, some AZ+Pfizer, two had J&J and one has had his first dose of Moderna recently, for a fee. The one who had Moderna still had the plaster on his arm, having been vaccinated earlier in the day. Instead of getting it done late last year, when demand was low, he decided to get vaccinated this year, when demand has increased again. So he either had to wait or go privately. His main motivation was to get vaccinated so he can take flights. None have admitted to getting Sinovac or Sinopharm.

    Today I went to a sexual health clinic,which was Government run here in Australia so no fee involved. I had originally planned on seeing just a private GP at a medical centre but a poster mentioned on here about sexual health clinics in Australia so thought I would ring my local one this morning. They quizzed me so much first on the phone as they said they had a certain maximum qouta and some patients they refer to their GP . On hearing my answers how I had been in Asia the last 2 Months etc I was top of the list for a appointment. On arrival I was given a rapid antigen test , negative and sit in the waiting room , unfortunately there was 2 screeching …

    Let's begin with the bad news. Hopefully, the later reports will be more cheery. After all, we're only two weeks from Thailand doing away with the Thailand Pass and the insurance requirements. We can't expect tourism businesses to spring back to life that quickly. Nonetheless, one wonders if some things that we were familiar with - so familiar we almost took them for granted - will ever come back. It's been reported by others that Patpong Soi 1 no longer hosts a night market. This is what the street now looks like. I've never been fond of obstruction caused by the stalls, but the dreary look of the street now is even worse. I've never really counted how m…

    Guys times have changed from many years ago ,and even being old I try to move on with the times. It's great anti HIV meds were introduced a few years ago. Back in the 80's many scare campaigns were around and if course rightly so for that era, but times have changed and taking Prep and wearing no condom is now not considered unsafe sex as far as I can tell by the health departments around the world So I used Prep for many months before taking my 2 month trip to Asia,I stopped it when I got covid and started feeling nausea. However mostly I went back on it ,it's not 200% protection and you can still get other sexual diseases. To be brutally honest…

    From Bangkok Post The Tourism and Sports Minister is planning to propose new opening hours for entertainment venues, allowing them to open until 4am to revitalise tourism sentiment during the upcoming high season. Tourism and Sports Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said the extended hours will be designated to tourism-driven economic zones to avoid creating discontent among local communities. "We already asked each provincial governor to study the economic and social impacts as well as the necessity of extending operational hours," said Mr Phiphat. He said not every area in a province would be allowed to follow this as the government would only concen…

  22. Hi guys I know Pattaya has 3 gay areas, Sunee, Jomtien and Boyz town. Each has its own gay bars and massage joints As time is limited, I wanted to ask for your opinion which of the 3 areas it be best to focus on. I’m looking to go for gay massage and play at the bars. Maybe take a page out of Vinapu’s playbook and off a few guys for the night. I generally like guys that are fair to mild tan, physique similar to guys we find in moonlight/Jupiter/Dreamboys, preferably without tattoos, early twenties, top and hopefully at least 6” or more down there. Hope that gives an idea on what I’m looking to do so I can learn more from you guys. Whatever I k…

  23. Another posting on here recently mentioned the online Stickman column. As a sometimes reader of it, usually I find the best thing in it (for the gay reader anyway) is his gleanings from the newspapers of Thai related stories. But one he missed was an article recently in the New York Times by Lawrence Osborne, talking about the neighbourhood of Bangkok (basically middle Sukhumvit) that Osborne is currently living in. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/01/travel/bangkok-thailand-city-of-spirits-culture.html?_r=0 It is called "My Bangkok - City of Spirits" and he talks about walking around the city and visiting his favourite haunts, especially late night bars.

    Rather than take Traveller Dave's thread even further off topic, here we go. Yes, so up a couple of hundred for economy class, but that shouldn't stop most of our members from travelling. A ridiculous increment for business class, particularly when considering the cost per hour, or whatever else one might spend the money on. A couple of weeks ago, I had a look at the Emirates Premium Economy class and think it was something like £1800 return, with the Premium Economy just for one leg & the "wrong" leg at that, since it's the 777 Dubai-BKK leg where getting out of the peasant class seats is most critical & the other leg that has Premium. …
