If you plan to return to Thailand you may find that it’s a good practice to retain sufficient local currency to cover your anticipated spending on first night of next trip. Once less hassle on arrival when you have other priorities. If you plan to use travelers checks, fewer banks seem to be accepting them. In Silom Complex, Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) still does but the agent specified American Express. Consistently i find that SuperRich provides the best currency exchange rate. The location on Silom (near Arena masssage) May be slightly better than Silom Complex location but probably not worth going out of your way on a steamy day. Silom Complex branch closes at 8p.m. Also note that after about 9p..m., the rates at independent currency exchange booths along Silom and Surawong become less favorable.

In the meantime, ex Moonlight model Mr Fluke is alive and well at Fake Club. My friend is there and sent me a video of him walking on runway one hour ago. It’s shame the crowd isn’t looking at him at all.

Below is a link where Americans and citizens of certain other countries can obtain a Brazilian computerized visa that Brazil calls an e-visa or electronic visa - there is that bad word again - visa - (Fake news). The Brazilian electronic travel authorization (e-visa) will not be pasted to a traveler's passport. The e-visa will only come to the traveler via e-mail. The travelers' passport will be verified, electronically against information provided when applying for the e-visa or electronic travel authorization. According to certain posters in the forum, an electronic travel authorization is not a visa and is "fake news" if one refers to the new electronic travel authorization (visa) as a visa. Whenever I hear the term "fake news" it usually comes from FOX news or from Trump or one or more of his supporters. Therefore, anything "Trumpish" has no credibility for me. Anyone interested in reading about Brazil's new optional electronic e-visa, check out this link: https://www.bronlinevisa.com/en However, be careful. If after reading the link, you might want to do what Brazil does and call the travel authorization a visa - Naughty, naughty.

Just returned from my first visit to Barcelona a quick weekend trip. A wonderful city although I have just scratched the surface. I visited Sauna Thermas everyday. Thank you to all the earlier posts which are a great help. From my own experience I would say the staff are very friendly and helpful. (I do not speak Spanish.) The place is well run and clean. A great selection of boys. Something for everyone. All the boys I met where friendly. Yes some will approach you with more enthusiasm than others but none were rude and a polite no always worked. I have a wide taste in guys and met a few different types over the weekend. 1. Brazilian - European - Muscle 2. Ghana - Black - Twink 3. Columbian - Black - Muscle 4. Polish - White - Athletic 5. Mali - Black - Tall Twink 6. Brazilian - Latin - Twink 7. Polish - Blond - Muscle 8. Polish - White - Athletic 9. Brazilian - Latin - Tall twink All agreed to EUR 50. I look forward to returning, but São Paulo and Rio are next week.

I traveled to Brazil more than one hundred times over a fifteen year period. I never had a mugging until late last year. Perhaps, because of my good luck over those years, I did not expect that two guys would suddenly see a gringo to mug who was hurriedly heading toward a restaurant. For those who have not been mugged - YET - it is easy to say "use common sense" or a variety of empty words that suddenly change after they, themselves, become a victim.

I was mugged in Rio in 2005 which I reported on another thread. There is a wealth of wisdom here. I never go on public transport and am very wary of walking alone. The lesson to be learnt from my experience is that you are not safe because an area is “busy”. My mugging occurred almost in front of the Copacabana Palace at about 6:45pm and barely dark, in front of a group who just stood and watched not to mention numerous passers by who ignored my screams for help.

Maybe he should consider taking a shower in fake club?

yes as long as you confirm that your Line choice will do what you want (or ask the manager(s) via Line to tell you who does what you want).

DivineMadman - Thank you so much for your Sabaidee spa recommendation. The somewhat hidden entrance and cozy feel of the place just gave me a relaxed and non-intimidating vibe. The person who manages Line was also spot on and honest in the assessment of the guys. A few other centers simply ignored my initial Line contact. So for someone shy like me who likes the idea of prebooking rather than taking a chance and choosing from a fish aquarium, this place is great ! The place also has a “discreet” feel to it. Definitely a return for me for next visit to Bangkok in June

In order to boost tourism, Tropical Trump plans to drop visas for US citizens (and Canadians, Australians, and Japanese) entering Brazil altogether. Although this is very promising news for tourists to Brazil, do not expect a travel authorization document requirement to be eliminated altogether. It most likely will be replaced with a quick, on the spot, visa-like ETIAS or a travel document granted at the airport. https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2019-01-16/brazil-plans-to-drop-visas-for-americans-to-boost-tourism-minister Brazil Plans to Drop Visas for Americans to Boost Tourism: Minister Jan. 16, 2019 BY JAKE SPRING BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazil plans to eliminate visitor visas for Americans, the country's tourism minister said on Wednesday, as President Jair Bolsonaro seeks to turn around the lagging tourism sector and engineer cozier relations with the United States. The visa initiative is part of the Foreign Ministry's plan for the first 100 days in power of Bolsonaro, who assumed office on Jan. 1, Tourism Minister Marcelo Alvaro Antonio told Reuters in an interview. "Our intention is really to eliminate visa applications for Americans," Antonio said. Bolsonaro won the presidency running on a right-wing populist platform and is an open admirer of U.S. President Donald Trump. He has sought to realign Brazil with the United States, unlike the leftist Workers Party government that led the country for 13 of the past 15 years and favored relations with fellow developing economies. "The left has treated the United States as an adversary, but not our government," Antonio said. "President Bolsonaro wants to embrace the United States as a partner of Brazil." Brazil is Latin America's largest economy but has long punched below its weight in tourism. The country currently receives 6.6 million foreign tourists a year, roughly half that of New York City alone. Brazil will also seek to eliminate visas for Canadians, Japanese and Australians but the timeline is up to the Foreign Ministry, Antonio said. A Foreign Ministry spokeswoman declined to comment. Currently, U.S. citizens pay $44 for a two-year visa, or $160 for a 10-year one. Antonio said bureaucracy increased for Americans seeking to visit Brazil under the Workers Party government, which supported equally strict treatment for Americans seeking Brazilian visas as Brazilians face when going to the United States. Other plans to overhaul tourism policy include doubling the country's spend on foreign tourism advertisements to more than $34 million by 2023, said Antonio. An existing target of doubling international visits to 12 million annually by 2022 remains in place, he said. The government also is seeking to convert its national tourism board into an agency, allowing it to partner with private enterprises like airlines, which is currently forbidden, Antonio said.

+1 I've been using Sabaidee Spa more this year than other shops. Very professional. Lots of handsome men. For my tastes, tend to be a bit better looking than Arena. Seems to be a core group of regular guys working most days and always some new guys popping up on the Line updates from time to time, so a nice mix.

it could have been me who was in the accident .. I too was silly enough to let him bring me to that fancy Japanese restaurant, and went back to my hotel with his car after he got quite a few drinks at the restaurant... I feel sorry for him, but more for his customer.

The garland was presented by a mamasan so I don’t know if it’s from a woman or man but I had a feeling that probably a male customer because a female customer tends to present it by herself with a kiss or hug. lol

Oh yes, did I have the serious hots for him when I was younger (and he was still smoking hot.) Drugs and alcohol can make beasts of saints.

Could you explain it for us so instead of being so belittling to the OP?

Problem with this thread is describing the location...lol decent experience at branch at entry to Tarntawan Hotel

I gave him two comfortable rides. Both on the same day.

Very interesting news. I’ve heard of this venue but seems to be more local. Some of the talent looks attractive but Nicky will definitely be a stand out. I also found this post. Monday was the day right after the big photo shoot for the models, where he was included in one group photo to promote the April 7 but not in the 8 sons of Artemis.

I was one week in Rio in December and did not feel particular danger. I mistakenly booked Hotel Atlantico PRIME (good hotel btw, no problem to take GP) instead of Atlantico COPACABANA on Booking.com. So I had to walk 1,5km from hotel to 117 every night back and forth (around 20mn walk) and it was OK. Sometimes I would take the metro at Gloria to go to Point 202. It was also OK. Another day I walked to Cinelandia, till the theatre and back and it was OK too.

I don’t think it was about recouping the compensation but rather a stern warning to all the boys not to drink and drive (if he was indeed under the influence - that was what I inferred but can not confirm so would not wish to wrongly accuse Nicky) OR in any way put the customer’s safety at risk. Which, given many of us here are Moonlight customers, actually works to our benefit. Also a timely reminder to us not to buy boys alcoholic drinks in the bar and then be silly enough to get into their car or on the back of their motorcycles.

The picture looks like the same bed and layout (minus the champagne bottle and towel art) of the 10 euro room.

Womp. Womp. I don't get into pissing contests online. It's not worth my time. Enjoy Rio. Don't enjoy Rio. Up to you. I will continue to

joe2001london, thank you, looking forward to your post

I'm going to Thermas next week, will surely give an update on the situation as i find it.

joe2001london, welcome to the forums. Please let us know how your visit to Thermas goes!

I was at Thermas 10 days before. Best time (many boys) is late afternoon / early evening; so from 4:30pm to 7pm. Friday and Saturday rather busy. Once I was there about at 11 am: nearly empty. 80% Latinos (all body types), 20% from Africa / Arabians / Eastern Europe. Good choice; some guys there for years (so some well known faces who had the best times in the past). 50 Euro is still the price for fun; entrance fee is 18 Euro. Location rather clean, but smell of smoke and weed. For quick pleasure with Latino guys it's stil a good place

I haven't made it to laboratory yet but I understand the action is pretty much anything goes with much "depravity". I've heard there are sometimes rent guys show up. SLUT bar in Hamburg is the one that requires you check all clothes at the bar and gives out condoms, lube, and rubber gloves. That scared me enough not to go in.

Laboratory and FickstutenMarkt are without any doubt the wildest places I went To. In Lab.oratory every thursday is the all nude night. There are maybe around 200 naked guy, many of them with hard on and fucking take place everywhere. Do not expect To see only mature guys : there are many young guys, sometimes cute who go there. Principle is that entry is only until midnight. So no need after that time To expect newcomers. FickstutenMark is hold in various places, mostly in Germany (Berlin Hamborg Koln). It is a gathering of mares and stallions. All are totally naked. Mares arrive at 6.30 pm and are prepared for stallions. Préparation means they have a bag covering their eyes and the upper part of their head and they are ass up offered for stallions. They cannot see the stallions. They cannot refuse the stallions to fuck her but they can refuse to suck the stallions. Mares with red bags can be fucked bareback. Mares with white bags can only be fucked with condoms. Employées look around to make sure people do wear condoms... Only in Germany. !Better not To be shy To ho to there places. But I did enjoy it the various times I went there
