Under a new self-reporting system, Hong Kong had 43,000 new cases Tuesday, Reuters said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2022/03/08/cdc-travel-warning-new-zealand-thailand-hong-kong/ https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2275643/18-943-new-covid-cases-69-more-deaths

From You Tube Three crew members of an oil tanker were injured and one is missing after the vessel caught fire following an on-board explosion at the pier of IRPC, a petroleum and petrochemical company, located in the estuary of the Chao Phraya River yesterday.

Has anyone had any experience with Chill Host Bar? Their twitter handle is @changshabar. The boys there look really attractive and masculine. But it seems like it’s on the far outskirts of the city. Do these bars typically have rooms? Or is it an off fee/take home situation? Would a farang be welcome in these seemingly local places?

Hey guys, I'd like to ask the people that has recently been to BKK: Can you please write the massage places you currently verified are up and running? Preferably with a LINE ID if possible so I can see what's on the menu Thanks!

Can't wait to be back in Thailand. Due to job requirements I will not be able to go to Bangkok, Phuket and Patong before September. But.... Rainy season... Any forum members have good or bad expierence visiting Thailand during rainy season? Go or no go?

Anyone knows any stores in Bangkok or Pattaya (not online stores) where the specialize in sexy lycra gear and swimwear? Also is it normal in Thailand for guys to work out in gyms wearing lycra? And good gay friendly gyms?

Just seen this posted. Can anyone else confirm or has more information? https://thethaiger.com/hot-news/tourism/thailand-test-go-update-no-more-day-5-pre-paid-hotel-or-pcr-test

Any recommendations please? Day 1 and 5 tests may be gone by the end of March, but if not.....

Which saunas are open now in Bangkok?

I'm a little gobsmacked how open he is... though at 1 minute 43, he is still a little coy about what customers mostly want when they off a boy. What I am curious about is this: Does anyone recognise the bar he is standing in (at around 1:43)?

Can anybody tell me when Tawan bar will be open for business (the shows etc)? How much do they charge nowadays?

The last time I was in Thailand (more than 2 years ago) the Pattaya bus went from Gate 8 at the airport. The most left gate. Now in March my driver who will take me to my Test&Go hotel will pick me up from Gate 9. I can't find on the airport map a Gate 9. Anyone has an idea? I assume it is a typo (the 9 is close to the 8 on the keyboard). Of course I can ask the hotel, but prefer to do it here.

From Thai PBS World No travel restrictions will be imposed when the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) meets next week to discuss measures to be introduced during the annual Songkran festival in mid-April, said National Security Council Secretary-General Gen. Supot Malaniyom today (Thursday). In his capacity as chair of the CCSA operations centre, General Supot said it is expected that the ongoing surge in COVID-19 infections will level out during March and that, during the Songkran festival, people will be able to celebrate the traditional Thai New Year’s Day in a way as close to normal as possible. He said, however, that it is not possib…

I just returned from a one month holiday trip to Thailand. Since there are very low numbers of international tourists in Thailand at this time, I decided to focus my travel on some of the very popular southern areas on the Andaman Sea. These regions are usually overrun with sun seekers and are heavily crowded in the high season, so I thought this would be a good time to take advantage of lower hotel costs, and of not being swarmed with tourists and day trippers from the nearby resort areas. The last time I was in Thailand before this was in Jan/Feb 2020, just two years ago. It was on this trip that I met N. For nearly two years since that last trip, I had been…

Hi guys! I’m going to be in Thailand in a month. It’s been about five years since I’ve last been and I’m so excited to return. I’ve been peaking around on Grindr the last few days and I notice several very attractive black guys advertising. Does anyone have the story on this phenomenon? As much as I am excited to meet up with some hot Thai guys, these new arrivals would be a very welcome addition. Also, Grindr seems active. I’m thinking of downloading Blued as well. Are there any preferred platforms for Thailand currently? Do moneyboys congregate on one platform vs another? thank you gentlemen!

Hey guys.... I havent been to BKK since 2019 due to Covid... Prior to Covid, I traveled to BKK 2 to 3 times a year since I started going... I love the food, the shopping and the sights....Did I mention the food and the shopping...And most importantly the massages!!! What has changed and what has stayed the same? I love MBK and Chatuchak Market the most when it comes to shopping I have a tailor that I will check out once I get there to get some slacks and shirts made I also love having high tea at one of the nice hotels in the city Please give me some recommendations on new things or things that are hidden gems... Not too huge i…

I am glad to be back both in Thailand as well as in this forum. After I logged into my account, I re-read my last post from my last trip in February 2020. I had strong feelings then, when I left. I did contact Myanmar boy after and promised to meet in April 2020. Of course, that didn’t happen and I did not contact him since. Tl;dr I did meet him this trip but I am not sure I will see him again. In fact, he was one of the main reason I went ahead with this short trip despite all the hoops to go through, uncertainties and risks. He appeared in the line-up for a massage shop I was following on LINE. He was still in Thailand, and I wanted a reunion, two years o…

From Bangkok Post The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is rolling out plans to target both the international and domestic markets despite a tepid start because of the threat from the Omicron variant. TAT governor Yuthasak Supasorn said Thailand needs to turn crisis into opportunity and use tourism to help transform the country after the outbreak. He said the goal is to achieve 2.4 trillion baht in tourism receipts, or 80% of 2019 levels, by 2023. However, this sum is not the priority as the industry shifts to inclusive segments, said Mr Yuthasak. The target segments consist of: wealthy travellers, retirees, remote workers, skilled professionals, mil…

I got one years back with no issue but now have a visa. But, I have a friend who needs to open an account and is on a Covid visa as his country is not yet open back up. Any suggestions on a branch that is easy to get the account?

The February Costco Connection magazine reports that a survey by TravelMedium.com gives Bangkok the award as the most popular tourist destination in the world! Now, I am a big fan of Bangkok, but I would think that Paris might top it. There definitely is a lot of competition. Of course, most people haven't gone anywhere lately!

Has anyone heard of or been to dragonfly naturist resort in Pattaya? I know it’s mainly a straight resort but that doesn’t bother me. Or any other gay friendly resort/hotel which is clothing optional?

Hi and sorry if this is the wrong place to post this. I’m going to be arriving in Bangkok before the month is over and am interested in exploring my sexuality and trying some stuff with dudes. So overall I’m looking for basic newbie advice but also recommendations on where to go or avoid and cultural norms as someone who is still new. I have done stuff a couple times on Grindr in America but never with anyone I was interested in and it was just sex to say “look see at least someone wants to get fucked by me”. So I am very new to everything especially being in a group setting around gay guys. I’m what I would consider to be a straightish/ bisexual top, I don’t co…

Hello gentlemen, I realize I have been around this blog (this block) for awhile, but strangely enough, I don’t know of any nice, or nice enough, short time hotels in the Silom area (near Sala Daeng). Can anyone enlighten me? I am meeting a boy with a wide smile tomorrow evening. Thanks in advance! faranglaw

From Pattaya Mail By Barry Kenyon There have been several complaints to Pattaya Mail that some local and foreign-based insurance companies have been guilty of misinformation when advising both tourists and expats. What follows is a summary of the requirements of both the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Thai Immigration. The rules are very different for those foreigners entering the country as opposed to those seeking an extension of stay once here. Applicants for entry, mostly Test and Go and Sandbox aspirants, are required to obtain a minimum US$50,000 cover to cover the period of their visa. This can be solely Covid-related or general medical insurance or…

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any post covid-19 recommendations for getting laundry done in the silom area? We used to use Sheraton Tailors which was just a few doors past the Glitz on surawong, but that's all closed up now. Found a self service washing machine shop in the small alleyway that used to house Super-A, but of course we had no drying facilities in the Raya. In the end it was cheaper to buy new clothes than to use their dry cleaning facilities, especially with the way my BF goes through clothes changes in a day! Thanks in advance!
