Gay Thailand

I'm new to coming to Thailand and experiencing the Bangkok bar scene. My first trip was a few months ago and it was a bit rocky - a few duds but I managed to click with a Lao boy from a bar in Silom. For the record, this is a straight guy. He's not the star of his bar - has a decent slim body and average looks but he made up for it by being enthusiastic with a good attitude while the more gorgeous boys were acting stuck up and aloof. We did short time then dinner and exchanged social media details but I left Thailand the next day. Back at home, we would be in contact semi-regularly and we did some video chatting about when I was coming back. During one of o…

In January my boyfriend and I will be travelling to Thailand on a holiday. He has given me the 'green light' to have a 'spicy' massage so I want make my 1 time count! I am verse and cannot decide what I'd want to do (T or B) but I want the option there. Ideally I am hoping for a place where I have all options available a fairly reasonable price. I know it will cost a bit for the 'spice' and I am going to factor that into my travel budget. I will be lost on the nuances of negotiating a tip to get the extra service so I have seen a youtube video about The Prince, where you go in and choose from a menu before the service. That would be nice so I don't have to …

I had thought of adding this post to the thread about Love Without A Plan which considers the needs of a partner after one’s death. But this is about a plan whilst alive! Or perhaps, being more accurate, the need for a realistic plan. I can recall less than a handful of posts on the following issue over the last decade or so. It is a cautionary tale. It relates to relationships that some of us have had with Thais or other Asian boys who move with us to a new life in our own country. I have three friends whose similar relationships have worked out extremely well and where genuine love and caring have resulted in more than three decades together – two with Thais, one w…

I found this very interesting. If this is factually correct, it would explain a lot, about like two heirs fighting over the estate of a wealthy uncle that died without a will. Apparently, Cambodia has discovered a small area, rich with rare earth minerals close to the Preah Vihear Temple, in the disputed area near the border with Thailand. The site is only 4.6 kilometers square, but is estimated to be worth $600 billion. Although this is not mentioned in the mainstream news articles about the border dispute, if true, this would certainly explain the sudden rush of newly revived national pride over a few ancient temples. In case you are not able to view the po…

Once, there was a man with a generous heart and a quiet strength. He met a young man many years his junior—someone struggling, someone in need of kindness. What began as a helping hand became a partnership, a love that endured for twenty years. Through all of life’s trials, they stood side by side. The older man provided stability, a home, and love; not only to his partner, but eventually to the partner’s three children, whom he welcomed as part of his family. They built a life together, not in the eyes of the law, perhaps, but in every way that matters. They shared meals, holidays, bills, dreams, and worries. The older man worked hard and paid for everything, trusti…

I am curious if anyone else has experienced issues recently with LINE. Up until this week I was getting regular daily messages from multiple massage places in Bangkok. It was not unusual for me to find 35-40 such messages that would come in overnight. However, during the last four or five days I have only been receiving 6-8 daily...mostly from TK massage. I tried clearing the cache for LINE on my iPhone, but that didn't seem to change anything. Didn't know if other people had noticed a significant decrease in messages.

Could up with a old friend today in Sydney City Australia He is older than me gay man in his late 60's a cheapskate who hasn't been overseas on around 15 years, I doubt he gets any sex in Australia although he told me he goes to the gay sauna and has to contend with guys our age , Lives by himself in a beautiful modern 1 bedroom apartment modern bathroom etc overlooking the harbour with gold tapware etc He came around to my 1 bedroom unit He said to me , why is your bathroom outdated? "You could of spent all that money on updating your apartment instead of travelling to Thailand every year ,in fact you could of bought another apartment!! …

Don’t believe that dramatic tittle of the report. Yes, it was not one of best and memorable trips but still , when comes to boys, it brought plenty of fine moments. Still it did not work as planned and envisioned, partially because life intervened, partially because I made hasty decision so my sentiment reflected in the tittle about that trip is accurate. Original plane was 4 nights in Bangkok , followed by three in Pattaya, carefully chosen to coincide with show at The Best Bar in Jomtien as part of Maxhunt ( more about that in relevant part ) and then 6 days in Bangkok again. Then life happened, owing to family matters I was forced, or to be more accurate…

I'm heading to Bangkok once again and is planning to visit Jey Spa. Could anyone recommend their best hire there? I've messaged their Line and the masseur list is overwhelming. Thank you.

It’s been nearly a year since my last visit to Thailand and 30+ years since my first. The return planning has changed several times as I’d hoped to cross paths with Forum colleagues but schedules and commitments could not mesh. So I’ll go it alone suspecting path crossings will occur. Eva Air will drop me off on August 5th in the afternoon. Open to meet ups with Forum contributors. Reader has been generous with his time and given me some insightful tips on what’s changed as he winds down his current stay. Thanks.

I made numerous trips to Thailand over a ten year period prior to COVID but never went to Brazil. Post-COVID, I made my first trip to Rio and basically fell in love with place (or more accurately the guys there and their general passionate attitude toward sex) and haven’t returned to Bangkok since with the exception of a long layover last year that gave me a chance to visit the city briefly and caused me to plan the trip I am about to take. I’ve been reading this forum diligently so as to make the best use of my upcoming time in Bangkok since I am no longer in touch with any of the guys I used to know in Thailand. I think I have a solid plan but what I’d really be …

I'm 73 and started coming to Thailand in 2011 after my bf died of alcoholism in UK. I have been here about 55 times so far, plus side trips to nearby countries. All visa exempt. I have been 'talked to' twice at immigration so because of that, and money reasons, I don't come as much as 4 times a year any more. Qatar landed at BKK at 19.00 on Thursday. Planes jammo as usual in economy but FA's very pleasant. I had printed out the DTAC so happily walked past the queue to use tablets to do it before immigration. BTS/MRT to Silom by 21.05 and walked to cheapish Surawong hotel, chosen as I'm trying to be more economical these days. You will soon see that I am not economical. Ov…

Everyone know there can find guywho…… 😆 but who know where can i find younger guy？ HongKong people said nearby there😂

I am puttng this in the Gay Thailand forum but only because it involves sex. A major sex scandal in fact. It seems that a respected monk from a temple in Central Thailand has disappeared. Investigations by the bib led them to a woman who informed them she had slept with a considerable number of monks and then blackmailed them to keep the liaisons private. A search of her home led to the discovery of several mobile phones with tens of thousands of compromising photos and videos. These were not only of the missing monk but of several senior Buddhist figures. The invesitgations then led them to many temples. Although the monk at the heart of the scandal has disappeared,…

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while so I've popped back to life here with a long-awaited very-low-season extended visit to Pattaya coming up next month (August). OK so today Iet's talk about "Old" Men and their virtues, hey, I am not talking about myself (although I more than qualify being in my Golden Years!) but rather sweet loveable adorable Thai/Isaan/Burmese/Laotian/Cambodian men who are past (and usually way past) the sunny side of 30yo. I guess I have become the opposite of a twink-seeker. There may be an exception or two but generally I find 20-somethings frighteningly immature and generally uninteresting in the long run. Even more weird I guess …

Planning a trip to Bangkok and Pattaya again in November. Stayed a few times in Agate hotel. Good quality rooms and bed, location can't be better and always got a good price directly via the hotel website. Also important: never a problem taking "a friend" to your room. They can even walk in on their own coming to your room without you having to get him from downstairs. But this time I might to choose to stay somewhere else. As I would like to have a bit more relaxing time at a pool. I know Agata has two pools, but somehow these pools don't really are inviting for me to spent some hours relaxing. I did see nice rooms for very good price in Welcome World Beachfron…

I'm visiting Pattaya for the first time. How do host bars work and what should I expect when I visit one? Does anyone have a favourite Host bar I should visit?

Has anyone recently posted on this forum a map of gay bars locations in Bangkok? Also a map of massage locations?

I recently listened to this podcast coming from Bangkok. If you have the time its' worth a listen Some interesting culture especially in particular about ghosts and gays! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct6ztf

Any opinions about this place? I follow them on TikTok any the boys are adorable! Please don’t tell me they’re for straight women 🙏

I know there is a thread somewhere on this and apologies I cannot find it! I arrived yesterday and remembered to complete the new electronic arrival info the day before. But the site seems still something of a mess. When it comes to your country of residence, you are provided with a list of countries. The list I received was a total mess, it was not in alphabetical order and I could not find Thailand which I had been informed is now included. Nor could I find Great Britain but I did find Scotland! Then when it came to inserting my address in Thailand it would not accept any typing at all. At Immigration, the officer was understanding and took my address verbally. When I s…

I’ve been talking to a few cute Thai guys on Hornet and a few other apps. Is there a polite way to ask if they’re a money boy to not offend? Or will they say so in their profile?

Just a bit of fun. A question for everyone re Bangkok, old timers and newbies. If asked to recall your two favourite gogo bars, saunas and massage spas from your visits to (or living in) Bangkok, which would you choose with just a few words on each? I think I am correct in saying there is at least one member here from the early 1970s and a lot more from the 2000s onwards. Maybe there were out of the way venues that most of us missed. I'll start this ball rolling, although I have noted some favourites in older threads. Dates are appox. when I first patronised them. Gogo: Apollo (early 1980s), small but with great guys, always smiling, nudity - Barbiery on Suriwong (mi…

Hi All, I’m planning a trip to Pattaya this November. I’ve been to Thailand but never Pattaya. I’ll be traveling solo but would love to connect with travelers who are familiar with the MB scene there and how it all works. Any suggestions? Also, I tend to like my boys on the younger (18+) side. Any suggestions for specific bars to visit?

Last night Wednesday visited Rainbow Dragon. If already reviewed excuse me for that. Its a pub style bar with good air con and a very pleasant atmosphere. Shirtless boys doing the service. Good dance type music. No idea what if any is off fee. As I arrived early around 8pm they seemed to be just opening and as mid week less custom. With 2 companions x 3 drinks came to about 600 baht. Nice tables facing the bar. Good location it deserves to succeed. Spent a few hours at the place and then went to Fresh Boys. We were the only customers! Having been at fresh boys at the previous Friday when it was full up shows that mid week tends to be very slow
