    The Supreme Court of Thailand has sentenced Thaksin to jail for one year. It ruled that his previous prison term was a sham. At that time, on his first day he complained of feeling ill and was taken to the VIP Wing of a hospital where he spent the entire period of his jail term in a great degree of comfort before being pardoned after 6 months. The Supreme Court ruled this was unlawful and Thaksin was not in fact ill. That case is known in Thailand as the "14th Floor" case as it was on that floor in the hospital where Thaksin lived in a degree of luxury. Last week Thaksin flew on a private jet to his second home in Dubai allegedly to receive medical treatment. He must…

    If you want to get guys off the apps at reasonable prices plan where you want to stay either in Airbnb or hotel I stayed in both last week and both have advantages & disadvantages. I stayed in the Unicca Airbnb apartments building near Big C and despite thinking it was a long way I got so many offers from guys during the day who were all less than a km away The only disadvantages are no one checks the boys ID in a Airbnb and of course your more I guess u maybe not safe if you don't know them I stayed in the zing hotel and some guys said to me they were "discreet" and didn't want to go to a hotel reception to show ID they said apartment only …

    About 8 to 10 years ago there was a Black American guy, I believe from Texas. who started the practice of give out garlands to the guys for their birthdays while he was in Pattaya. He taped American dollar bills with Thai money; a very clever gesture. I remember the reaction of the people was quite exciting when he placed a garland around the guys neck because no one had seen this before. Several people would always smiled and give the American guy a thumbs up, and often they would clap. Indeed it was a nice and novice gesture on the part of the American. The American guy always did this, for special occasions, when he was in Pattaya. I have no idea if he did this i…

    I have read that there are a lot of Indians and Russians in Thailand, particularly in the Pattaya area. Is it convenient and/or easy to hook up with guys from there? Has anyone had any experience with hooking up with Indians or Russians?

    I was wondering when was the best time to visit this area. I don't want to miss any shows or BD parades or anything and definitely want a good pick of the company. Any advice? Thanks.

    Arrived around 7 pm. Really beautiful and pleasant gay onsen with nicely done pools and jacuzzis. Well maintained and looked clean. Thursday evening maybe 20-25 guests, mostly slim or athletic twinks. I think there were 3-4 men over 30 me included. I was the only farang. They have very nice naked only cruising space (not totally dark); yesterday at 8 pm tops got blue, vers silver and bottoms green neon wristbands. And 80% were bottoms 😀. I felt bad for the guys. I did not create any obvious interests, appart from one middle aged Chinese guy. The cruising looked tamed, basically guys made a contact and then moved to the free rooms. One triple group was active in the p…

  7. As a European, I fell victim to X hastily blocking all adult content for users who haven't proven they're 18+. I'm generally in favor of certain content being inaccessible to children, but if you implement an 18+ block, you obviously have to ensure someone can verify their age so you can access all the content. And X decided to implement the block, but not give you any way to verify your age. How stupid. They say they're "working" on implementing age verification. Until then? No porn or nude images via X. For the first few days, this could be avoided by changing your location in the settings to a country outside Europe or the UK. I set it to Thailand. And yes, I could wat…

    I will be visiting Thailand in October for three weeks. For the first nine days, I will be in Bangkok solo. After that time I am part of a small group tour that originates in Bangkok heading north and ending in Chiang Mai. I have taken a number of small group tours over the years and really enjoy them. However, I am looking forward to being able to explore Bangkok on my own this trip. While I have been to Thailand several times, it has always been to visit friends. They are not gay and not familiar with the gay scene at all. So, I have several questions for the group as I am seeking some advice or recommendations. On previous trips, I have always stayed with…

  9. I've had really bad luck using the apps here, probably even less than in the states. Definitely less than in Latin America. The few MBs I come across are pretty standoffish, difficult to schedule with, etc. In general it seems like there are not many MBs. I've noticed the same thing on HeeSay. I'm into twinks so maybe that's the problem. I'm a ~30 year old white guy in good shape. Possibly my pics are a lot worse than I think lol. Is all of the action in person here? Any tips or recommendations?

    It has come to my attention that a new sauna in the Surawong area has recently opened. Aptly called 1/0 Sauna (for those who may not know, in Chinese gay slang, 1=top, 0=bottom). Not sure what the clientele is, but if anyone is on the ground and is into saunas, a report would be much appreciated!

    I note Vinapu's post elsewhere which referenced the issue of kissing for gay guys in Thailand. I thought it deserved a thread of its own. Have other visitors encountered the view, as expressed by some gay Thais I know, that kissing (the intimate kind, French and just with the lips) is "un-Thai"? Neither topping nor bottoming are, nor even straight sex, nor any other of the usual activities...but kissing? I have to admit that I'm not bothered personally since in both my personas, straight and now gay, it has never been high on my list of pleasures. But a cultural unwillingness to indulge? Any views? Then there's the issue of the "sniff-kiss", originally a…

    Transport: used the bus from ekkamai to pattaya. Waited around 20 minutes before the scheduled departure. The toilet in the station has been outsourced to mr. Loo - a pay toilet company. When we arrived in pattaya bus terminal, i was surprised that only 2 of us went to the baht bus. So we waited for another 10 minutes to see if other passengers from arriving buses will join us. But alas no luck. It seems grab and bolt might be better alternative. Going back from pattaya to bkk, i took a bolt car from my hotel to the bus terminal. I paid Less than the typical 100baht the songtew charges. I waited about an hour for the bus going to ekkamai. I was tempted to get the …

    In a region already hard hit in the last couple of days from torrential rains from the dying Typhoon Kajiki, expect more bad weather over the weekend. Four pepole were killed in Chiang Mai and another in Mae Hon Son in weather-related incidents in recent days. Now tropical depression 20W presently off the South China Sea is tracking westwards and is expected to hit the north and east of Thailand over the week-end. https://www.nationthailand.com/news/general/40054722

    The question is have you ever hired a guy who was not a regular money boy in Thailand? Gay4pay I often wonder if I would dare to ask say a hotel porter /bellboy if he was willing for the exchange? I'm quite fascinated at the moment by the Thailand boys on Facebook who dance topless and yes I sent a few messages to them , unfortunately nothing in reply Have you ever asked a guy if he was gay4pay and in what situation?

    I don’t know if y’all are getting tired of me asking these questions, however I was reading another thread https://www.gayguides.com/topic/61297-bangkok-pattaya-october-november-2024/page/2/ It was mentioned that he took his boy that he offed to dj station for dancing. Is this something that the boys are open to? Like if I like a boy in one bar however I want to go see some more shows, is it ok to ask the boy if he wants to come along with me, have dinner, before returning to hotel? when I was in bangkok, for the first time, last year when I hired we pretty much went straight back to the hotel for fun. I only ask because I don’t want …

    In another thread there are comments about a flower festival in Baguio in The Philippines. Not so well known is the one that has been held annually in Chiang Mai for more than 40 years and has become a major tourist attraction. Held next year for three days in February, the dates have not yet been set but it takes place over a week-end. Apart from seeing an abundance of flowers in the Chiang Mai area, there is always a major float parade on the Saturday. It's a bit like the summer Candle Festival in Ubon Ratchanthani except the floats are made of flowers and not wax. I have not yet attended and so these photos are from the official Flower Festival site.

    I have started to plan out my next Thailand trip (26 days is just not enough ) and have always wanted to visit Ayutthaya. I just want to get a general consensus on whether it would be worth spending 1 or 2 nights there (I would catch the train) or just visit as a day trip. Thanks!
