For me the price of the drinks is not the issue in a gay bar. I’m not a big drinker. What I want to find is sexy lovely boys to entertain me both in the bar and maybe later in bed. The Winner bar delivers.

You tease 😂

Which party is the most gay-friendly?

I read that book a few years ago. Some a fascinating insights though I suspected that the events portrayed may have been a composite of the experiences of more than one guy! Perhaps slightly OTT for one life-time? Still, I recommend it.

I truly like Winner Bar and enjoy the boys, but there is another go-go bar in Pattaya with an even better value with two good drinks for 150 Baht in total. But one must be a VIP customer to receive this special. Cannot mention the name of the bar.

@gayinpattaya ?

Yes

From National News Bureau of Thailand Muay Thai is set to be showcased at the Olympic Park in Paris, France, from July 26 to August 11, as part of a cultural demonstration alongside the Summer Olympics. The display is a major step toward Muay Thai’s potential inclusion as an Olympic sport in the future. The program will feature Muay Thai as a side event, offering Olympic attendees a rare glimpse into the traditional Thai martial arts. A dedicated workshop will run for five days at the Boxing House within the Olympic Park, with the main activities scheduled for August 5 and 6. A specially constructed stadium at Club France will host two full days of competitive bouts, with athletes from 24 countries, including Thailand, showcasing the sport over 10 hours each day. he festivities will be further enhanced by renowned Thai boxer Buakaw Banchamek, who will perform in the Wai Khru ceremony, aiming to both entertain and educate spectators about the origins and significance of Muay Thai.

Even the Pattaya Mail acknowledges the state of its aging gay expat community: June is also expected to see a surge in non-sponsored hotel bookings throughout Pattaya and extra customers at Boyztown and the Jomtien Complex, the main gay entertainment centers. Vic Anurak, who runs a Pattaya travel and hotel booking agency, said, “It’s going to be busy, though the cost of airfares may limit the number of international gay arrivals.” He added that the huge commercial investment was aimed largely at gay Thais rather than the ageing expat community. “Not many foreigners on retirement visas want to dance until dawn.” But if the expats exit Jomtien, just who will be left standing seated?

From Thai PBS World Most respondents to an opinion survey, conducted by King Prajadhipok’s Institute (KPI), say they will vote for the Move Forward party and want the party’s former leader, Pita Limjaroenrat, to be Thailand’s next prime minister. KPI, in cooperation with the Office for the Promotion of People’s Politics and the Centre for the Development of People’s Politics, conducted an opinion survey on political parties and potential prime ministers one year after last year’s May 14th general election. 1,620 people across the country were interviewed. One of the questions asked was: “If there is an election in the next couple of days, from which parties would you elect constituency MPs? The poll shows 35.7% of the respondents say they will vote for candidates from the Move Forward party, 18.1% say the Pheu Thai party, 11.2% the Bhumjaithai party, 9.2% from United Thai Nation party, 7.8% from Palang Pracharath party, 5% from the Democrat party, 1.6% from the Chart Thai Pattana party and 1.2% from the Prachachart party. 10.2% were undecided. The next question was: “From which parties would you want to elect party-list MPs? The poll shows 44.9% say they will vote for Move Forward candidates, 20.2% for Pheu Thai candidates, 10.9% for United Thai Nation candidates, 3.5% for Bhumjaithai candidates, 3% for Democrat candidates, 1.3% for Prachachart candidates and 0.7% for Chart Thai Pattana candidates. Based on these responses, combining the election of constituency and party-list MPs, the Move Forward party would win 208 seats in the House, followed by 105 for Pheu Thai, 61 for Bhumjaithai, 34 for United Thai Nation, 30 for Palang Pracharath, 22 seats for the Democrats, 10 for Chart Thai Pattana and 9 for Prachachart. When asked who they want to be the next prime minister, the poll shows 46.9% said Pita, followed by 17.7% for General Prayut Chan-o-cha, 10.5% for Pheu Thai leader Paetongtarn Shinawatra, 8.7% for Srettha Thavisin, 3.3% for Bhumjaithai leader Anutin Charnvirakul, 1.7% for Jurin Laksanawisit of Democrat party and 0.4% for General Prawit Wongsuwan, leader of Palang Pracharath party.

I've been there many years ago, and I found plenty of nicely built swimmers in Salvador, specially at Fox. Now I am curious to see whether or not quality went down. I would love a second visit, to do the research.

Probably the most technically correct answer is, it doesn't. The only key that has anything to do with the challenger is the "charisma" key. The two Presidents since he started predicting in 1984 Lichtman gave that to were Reagan and Obama - but only in 2008. I think in practice what it means for Lichtman is that Reagan in 84 and Obama in 2008 (but not 2012) were "charismatic" in the sense that they were able to rise above their narrow partisan base. Like Ike, a war hero, was also able to do. Whereas by 2012 Obama was basically seen as a divisive partisan figure. The thing that I like most about Lichtman is that his keys not only have worked in practice, but they also make common sense. And they are complimentary. The idea is that people actually care about important things, like war and peace and the economy. All the stupid stuff that happens in ads and on social media has very little to do with the outcome. Which is why the polls are often so unreliable. And the other core tenet is that the election is always the incumbent partys to win or lose. So it makes common sense to me that the challenger doesn't really matter, unless and until the incumbent party governs in a way that people give it a thumbs down. Or if the challenger is so broadly popular or heroic that they draw people to them. I think 2016 is a great example of that, as Lichtman views the world. He has said that given the way the keys fell, against the incumbent Democratic Party, anyone running against Hillary would have won. I'm pretty sure (going from imperfect memory) that he has said if the GOP had nominated someone more conventional, like Kasich, Republicans would have probably won more decisively in 2016. As it relates to his keys, he has been very consistent in saying Trump doesn't qualify as charismatic, because he basically only appeals to a narrow partisan base. He also said this in a recent interview: I'm a little surprised he said that. I have watched lots of interviews or speeches he gave. His standard position, which makes sense to me, is that his system is based on patterns in every Presidential election since the Civil War. So in over a century and a half of elections we have seen pretty much everything under the sun already. Including all kinds of scandal. In fact, impeachment was one of the keys Lichtman counted against Trump when he predicted he would lose in 2020. Some of these keys obviously depend on subjective judgment. Like what is "charisma"? Lichtman also said that he has shorter versions of his keys that can predict something like 90 % of Presidential elections based on fewer factors. Incumbency and whether or not the party in power has a huge divisive internal fight (like in 2016) are particularly useful keys for predicting, he has said. But the reason they did 13 keys is that, at least so far, that many keys have been able to predict with 100 % accuracy. The common sense way I view 2024 is that, unless something changes dramatically like it did in 2020 due to COVID, Biden is nowhere near getting a thumbs down rating - despite what the polls say right now. He has only two keys definitely against him now, so four more would have to turn against him to lose. (I'm no Lichtman, but IMHO Biden won't get a foreign policy win, and RFK may get a big chunk of votes. So that would make two more keys against Biden. But that still means Biden would win.) Either you believe that, or you don't. I do believe Lichtman is right, obviously. My interpretation of Lichtman's keys is that where Trump and his trials enter in is that to the degree that there is any opening for a challenger to win, Trump is simply NOT the right guy. The trial probably can not help, even if there is a mistrial. And it probably can hurt, if we believe the polls that say a guilty verdict will disqualify him with some swing voters. @TotallyOz nailed it last year when he called out Nikki Haley as probably the best Republican alternative to Trump. I was singing Tim Scott's praises at the time. But Haley was the one who got some traction. At least to the degree that anyone could compete with a cult leader. This may sound off now, especially to cultists like @EmmetK. But I really do believe Republicans sealed their fate when they nominated Trump. Had they gone for Haley I think they would have had a better chance of winning. We'll see.

Depends how much money he has left!

Ah. They must have got a good price, or other incentives. It always looked weird, pre Swampy, to be hurtling down runway with golfers lining up puts!
