As you enter Soi 6 from Silom rd., I can recommend any of the shops on the right hand side, including the very first (Natural Massage). I wouldn't hesitate to make your wishes known.

Good...I'll accept that. The president is like a director of a movie/TV show....he's surrounded by experts, generally. The movie director generally listens to his cinematographer set designers, lighting people, etc..... occasionally the director over rules someone and wants something done in a particular way. I trust the people that Biden will be surrounded by.....so if he went full blown dementia, like Ronald Reagan.... I still feel that we'd be OK. Trump on the other hand, learned his lesson the first time around. He's not hiring ANYONE that would do THEIR JOB competently, like the generals and sec of state. He's only going to hire people that agree with him on anything, like Kellyanne Conway and her type.......... THAT is what worries me about him. And that picture of Biden. with what to do...isn't new. Lot's of executives and politicians have those.... if you've never been involved in politics, you know, our type...not the dictator ones, this is quite normal. Ever notice how Trump just wondered around at times not knowing where to go....because, he didn't pay attention to his staff's instructions.

NOTE -- I highlighted the sentence about street food because I saw that in evidence nightly on Patpong One nightly on recent trip. From Tourism Authority of Thailand A Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) survey has revealed that foreign tourists have increased their spending on accommodation post-pandemic, showing a preference for luxury hotels or resorts despite higher airfares. The survey, which involved 30,054 tourists in 2023, highlighted that average spending per trip rose to 50,900 baht, up from previous years. Accommodation costs accounted for a significant portion of this expenditure, averaging 23,518 baht per trip. The survey also showed a shift in dining preferences among tourists, with an increase in those opting for street food, rising from 63% to 77.3%. This change has led to a decrease in the average spending on food and beverage to 4,094 baht, down from 5,875 baht in 2019. Café hopping has emerged as a new trend, increasing in popularity among tourists. The TAT observed spending patterns among different nationalities, with tourists from the Middle East being the biggest spenders, followed by visitors from Oceania, the US, and Europe. The survey highlighted the evolving landscape of travel bookings, with a majority of individual travelers (53.7%) using online platforms for trip arrangements. Despite this, travel agents and tour operators still play a significant role in the industry.

Interesting to know....never gave much thought that most of Africa is cut 🧐

Politico gave the shoes a big push today. I actually think it is a good way to bring America together. Fashion is always more fun thsn politics. Trump Released a Sneaker Line. Here’s How to Wear Them. Donald Trump is the least racist man in America. Just ask any Black (well, maybe not those Central Park Five guys), and they will tell you he has done more to promote racial healing than MLK, John Lewis, and for sure Kamala Harris. Everyone says he does the best racial healing. The media gives him the best grades for racial healing. So, yeah. MAGA folk as 80's rapper. I love it. And the MAGA base, which is mostly working class Blacks, obviously will too. Even has a touch of Ronald Reagan from the 1980s. It just screams to me, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall." Then again, a lot of the MAGA folk are snobs. High end sort of this people. Let's take Tim Scott, if he's Veep. So this adds some class: That whole hair thing may be a problem for Tim. But he's a cutie. It would work with his distinguished bald look. Now, there is that small minority of the MAGA base that is White. And as open-minded and multi-cultural as they are, this may work better for them: it even has that whole prison rape chic thing going on. It would be perfect!

Truth Social isn't working so where, oh where, can I get my news???????????????????????

Entertaining but take with a pinch of salt as the pinkish colour of Thailand suggests around one third of males are circumcised while, my research suggests a much lower proportion. I am willing to undertake more research and will be setting up a funding page to facilitate that.

I think it would be a great idea to refer to this map by one of the forum member. Its really helpful. He colour coded the guest friendly hotels around silom. https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/2023/12/07/map-of-silom-surawong-area-december-2023/#more-3386

I visited Complices Spa in Bogota this evening which is a Thursday. The place was filed with hot 20-somethings, most of which were interested in playing with me even though they are about two-thirds my age and my Spanish is abysmal. One guy told me Colombians think Americans are hot or, at least that is what I think he said. For so many different reasons, that absolutely should not be a thing (and may not be since his English was on par with my Spanish) but, in any case, he had a sexy tattoo of a small bird on his chest, abs and a really nice uncut cock so I let him (and others) fuck me. The sexy underwear or nude dress code does take some getting used to and probably isn’t for everyone but I adapted and got into it pretty quickly. I’m told Sunday afternoons/evenings are also good.

I would imagine that these rules can easily be changed by the guy in charge

I mentioned in a recent post that the street food area in Patpong 1, which takes up at least one third of the soi, was buzzing in January. Not a spare seat. Food looked pretty good. And beer was cheap. It was interesting that there were still a few girly bars up that end, but they were sidelined by the food court.

I read an article a couple of days ago, saying that he was married to an American women, which automatically excludes him from the succession. It said that he is trying to say that he is divorced, but it all looked rather interesting. The article also said that another son is also married to an American. Anyone else read this?

From The Nation ‘Than On’ back in Thailand for third visit in 7 months His Majesty the King’s second-eldest son, Vacharaesorn Vivacharawongse, on Wednesday posted a photo of himself at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Samut Prakan province on his Facebook wall with the caption “I have returned home, as promised”. The post has attracted over 25,000 likes and welcoming comments from netizens. This is his third trip to his homeland in less than a year. After living abroad for 27 years, Vacharaesorn and his younger brother, Chakriwat made their first visit to Thailand on August 7, 2023. Vacharaesorn is fondly called “Than On” by Thais, while Chakriwat is known as “Than Ong”. Vacharaesorn, 42, who works as a lawyer in New York, travelled to Thailand again on December 4 to attend Father's Day celebrations on December 5 in Bangkok. He also visited several provinces, including Nong Khai, Ayutthaya, Samut Songkhram and Chachoengsao, before returning to the United States on December 18, when he posted: See you again. #ThailandIloveyou #ileaveonlytoreturn A news source revealed that Than On’s could stay in Thailand until April during this third visit to celebrate the Songkran Festival, also known as the Thai traditional new year, from April 13-15. It added that on his next visit to Thailand, which is yet to be scheduled, the King’s other three sons who live in the US will join Vacharaesorn. They are: Juthavachara, Chakriwat, and Vatchrawee.

From Thai PBS World The Immigration Bureau has revoked the visa of the Swiss national who allegedly kicked a female Thai doctor, who sat on the staircase of his rented villa on Yamu Beach in Chalong district of Phuket last week. An urgent letter, signed by Deputy Governor Sattha Thongkham in his capacity as the acting governor, was sent to immigration officials recommending the revocation, claiming that he posed a threat to society who may be a danger to the people of Phuket. Pol Col Prinya Klinkaesorn, deputy spokesman for the Immigration Bureau, told the media today that Pol Maj-Gen Songplod Sirisukha, commander of the First Division of the Immigration Bureau, signed an order on Wednesday night revoking the visa of Urs Beat Fehr, managing director of Elephant Sanctuary Park Company in Phuket, with immediate effect. He said Phuket immigration officials will inform the Swiss national of the revocation of his visa and detain him at the immigration detention facility in Phuket, pending his trial on the assault charge. He added that the suspect has the right to apply for bail to defend the case in court.

The Ibis Styles Silom is no problem bringing guests in. Just have to meet them at the ground floor to take back up the elevator to your room. Never had any of my visitors pulled up, questioned or glanced at all to my knowledge. But be careful - one guy I had back to my room had taken something before he arrived and started tripping in my room. I managed to get rid of him after about an hour singing and making weird noises in the shower. That's an experience I would prefer not to have again...

I have been a reader of this forum for many years and have benefited greatly from such rich information from active posters - My holidays to Europe, South America and Asia particularly Thailand have been fun and extra spicy because of info generously shared here. Now I feel compelled to share my recent Thailand experience to hopefully help out and keep the info following. Please note that English is my second language and I would like to apologise in advance for any grammatical and other errors. Please be kind to me ❤️ I spent 12 glorious days in Bangkok but I will only be writing about days with spicy bits so as not to bore you people with my other vanilla shenanigans. Day 1 Arrived at Suvarnabhumi mid morning and immigration lines are flowing smoothly. Quite pleased that they no longer require those arrival cards. I always feel paranoid losing that other half you need to show upon departure. After sorting out Sim card and mobile, I marched straight to the designated airport pick up spot as per email sent by the klook app. Pick-up was efficient and after a couple of minutes, I am already in the middle of Bangkok traffic giddily planning what and where to go next. Check-in with air bnb was straightforward. Maybe because its low season, they allowed early check-in. I'm a bit wary with air bnb's legal status in Thailand. However, I am working remotely and hotel wifi is highly unreliable from experience. After checking-in, I decided to give the classics a try so off to Arena I go. My trifecta used to be Arena, Prince and Hero - still wishing Hero will be back! While walking towards Silom Plaza, I can't help but notice how much cannabis shops have setup and mushroomed everywhere! Not my scene but it was surprising how the number quickly grew since I visited last year. As I enter Arena, things flow like clockwork, The Uncle will ask you to sit by the couch, show you that Dogeared rate sheet and will try to sell you the most expensive package. Why do I have to pay 300thb more just for a different type of oil? I would rather use that to tip my man of the day and get better outcome later. While this is happening, them masseurs will assemble in front trying to get your attention. I always tell myself to calm down and take my time but I always feel low-key flustered with the attention which forces me to hastily make my selection. I chose this cute guy with a toned built. He introduced himself as Tom. He then asked me to shower and he stepped out of the room. I was quite disappointed that he didn't join. He returned with his massage stuff and took a shower before starting the massage. The massage itself was uneventful. It's that usual routine where they seem to focus on your leg area. I was starting to get bored and started yawning (so tired from my 13hr flight) and I think Tom took it as a cue to start the more interesting phase. He compensated well on his lack of massage skills and was quite surprised when he initiated a kiss. His body to body massage is quite good together with other things that comes with it. He then asked if I can make him cum which I gladly obliged. I must say it must be his first one for the day! I left Arena quite satisfied and decided to walk through Surawong to plan what tonight will hold. Had a quick bite at Foodland and took a taxi back to my place for a quick nap. Waking up refreshed, I made my way to Hotmale. I must've arrived too early and the selection that night looks not that promising. I made a mental note to give it another chance and visit it again later. I then went inside screwboys purely out of curiosity. The place was smaller and that night seemed to attract a lot of smokers. I'm not a delicate person but I really struggle with cigarette smoke. There's quite a number of potential offs but I am not in the mood tonight for reason I don't know. I made my way out and had a good yarn with one cute waiter from Laos. We exchanged Line which led to a number of proposals later to meet and be his boyfriend! Decided to call it a night and grab a coffee from Starbucks while waiting for my taxi. Starbucks is now open 24 hours compared to closing at around 8pm last year. Sign that things are indeed normalising? Overall, first night feels like a success even if i am going home alone. My session in Arena I guess is enough to cap off my night.

I visited Bendito Carbon with high expectations but found myself underwhelmed. This might be attributed to the fact that their famed "strip shows" are infrequent, occurring monthly or only during pre-announced events. I went based on a promoter on Grindr who showed titillating images and videos of what to expect, but that was not the case the night I showed up. I think it is the same place I called Yei-Yei Bar in the trip report above. It seems like Bendito Cabron is a "night" in that space. But unclear why the Grindr promoter was marketing it that night I showed up. This entire bar/club could also just be a bait-and-switch nightmare, considering it is hard to really pin down what its name is, and a quick Google search comes up with a variety of names, all with low ratings. It would be a good venue for some scandalous strippers because it is a bit more intimate and dark and not as loud and cavernous the Premier space.

But so many other links told the same sad, sad, sad TRUE story about the Drumpf Druth Social site's EPIC FAIL last night! 🤡😂🤡 https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/03/07/trumps-truth-social-faces-major-glitches-during-state-of-the-union/ https://www.bostonherald.com/2024/03/07/trumps-truth-social-struggling-during-state-of-union-address/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2909866/state-of-the-union-2024-truth-social-goes-down-as-trump-prepares-to-correct-biden-address/ https://gizmodo.com/truth-social-down-outage-trump-biden-state-of-the-union-1851318732

Removing street food vendors in Bangkok would be like removing gondolliers from Venice just because occasionsionally one of them pee or spit in the water

This looks like a needless exercise in bureaucracy, the rules seem unnecessarily complex. I can't help wondering if this is some form of brown envelope exercise? The Government is always going on about encouraging tourism, and I would have thought that street vendors are a good part of the scene. I know that in Singapore, there are excellent hawker centres, but that is Singapore!

We completely agree on this one. Putin doesn't speak about genocide. Or mass murder. Or sadism. Or cruelty. Or putting a bullet in your head. Or poisoning you. Or turning you into fertilizer. He just does it.

You seem to forget that Japan was also pursuing nuclear weapons development programs. There was little doubt that Japan would have deployed a nuclear weapon if it had succeeded before the U.S. The Japanese military invested in various efforts to research the potential technology, and created technology for uranium enrichment (including several cyclotrons and a thermal diffusion device). Japan developed the first cyclotron outside the U.S. in 1937 and its second (pictured below) in 1943. Russian physicist Georgy Flyorov suspected that the Allied powers had secretly been developing a "superweapon" and wrote a letter to Stalin urging him to start such a program in 1942.  Initial efforts were slowed due to the German invasion of the Soviet Union and remained largely composed of the intelligence gathering from the Soviet spy rings working in the U.S. Manhattan Project. (From Wikipedia). Does anyone really doubt that Stalin would have used it against Germany had Russia been able to develop it,

I have read that even in the African countries without a high Muslim population there has been a push to circumcise boys and men because it was seen as offering some protection against HIV. How much protection, I don't know.

Agree.... isn't it the same in Russia? I ran for office in the 4th largest city in the US. It's a club/gang/clique take a pick. Everyone for their self . If you don't play the game, you'll never have a say in the game and you'll never get money for your district then not re-elected. You might even get Primary'd from your own party if you don't play ball. Bernie Sanders is 82, yet has more stamina/energy than me....I'm a Bernie Bro, need someone that isn't afraid to ruffle feathers and stand up to corporations and billionaires, he's the only one that fits that bill, as far as I know. Yet, the Democrats fucked him over twice, because he def won't play ball the way they want him to.....

Google : https://www.thewrap.com/oldest-directors-still-making-movies-over-80/ https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/12-great-films-made-by-directors-over-80 Putin is 71....is it his time to go or will it be ok when he's older too....not everyone ages the same, some people don't make it past 50 or 60, sadly. I just watched bits of the state of the union....I think he did well, better than his predecessor 😉 There is just such a night/day difference between Trump and Biden....you've been to Thailand...the expression "good heart", that describes Joe. Trump on the other hand is a snake oil salesman.....in the late 80's , I thought he was a genius, then the more I watched and learned how he was, nothing but a fucking conman. I've met him in person , he wasn't THAT bad back then. Listen to Howard Stern talk about him.... You've said neither is a good option.....what has Biden done so bad, Israel, border, inflation? The president can't do everything he wants, he has to work with a congress that has become too radicalized. My souvenir from when I met him...anyone want to buy it , lol

A Colombian freind of mine told me that many gay local guys have a dream to fell in love with American and live with him at the US , this explains what he referred to 'hot' .

George Santos says HI............... The best of the GOP............ On the short list for Trump VP..............

He must be really unwell!

But didn't millions and millions of his followers buy those Golden Shoes? I'm sure Little Pooty Poot bought up truckloads all by himself. A forum member was recently so pleased to announce his own purchase of the sneakers. However, his shoes won't arrive for at least 90-120 days. Such a backlog indicates that there have probably been BILLIONS sold by now. 🤡

What I wondered was which passport he used--did the Thai Embassy issue him a Thai passport, or did he use his US passport?

Hahaha. Basically, this update from the authorities sounds like "Nothing to see here, folks. Move on."

All the broads on this site.😀

Some may want an extra fee to cum but I find them to be in the minority. Time of day may be a factor for some who can't reload quickly.

Grindr is great in Bangkok... I made so many plans for visiting massage spas before my first time back in Thailand after many years in June 2023. No plans were needed as either free sex or (mostly) paid sex was plentiful off Grindr. I'm 50 and a bottom. I'm not really into ladyboys, so I'm not sure about them. As for the paid hook ups it was pretty nearly always 2500 baht for two hours-ish for sucking and fucking, but I seemed to be finding an even bigger cocked guy each time, which I guess was my idea, and never lasted the two hours! I was blown away by Thailand in my two trips last year...

For ladyboys, try Soi Buakhao where there are ladyboy bars. Soi Buakhao runs from South Pattaya Road (near Tukcom) to Central Road. I don't know the location of any particular ladyboy bars but they are there!🤑

That's my point....my German friend said Siem Reap was horrible just last week....things change, hence my question while I'm in the planning stage. I though PNH was so so years ago, but based on @vinapu last visit, it sounded promising.....as far as my taste, I don't think that's a secret....but since I didn't remember your 2022 report maybe you don't know my taste.... Tattoos, top, masculine, no drama, brown skin, fun, drinking partner, can perform, slim- muscular, shorter than 1.75m......as fas as the where, I'm open to SE Asia and Indonesia, Philippines....not China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam (Viet guys are super cute, not into the culture)

For boys in Pattaya there is Jomtien Complex aka Supertown with many host bars and massage shops. ; Boyztown (Toy Boy, Classic Boy, ABomb, XBoys and Dream Boys all go-go bars); Sunee Plaza (Winner Boys and Nice Boys, go-go bars). Also massage shops in vicinity of TukCom in Pattaya.

Haven't been active on this forum for a little while now, but thought I'd give everyone a heads up, esp. those of you who have plans to be in Chiang Mai and will be on the hunt for some R & R. If you find yourself at Circle, steer clear of the guy calling himself Jack. (Pic below.) It's the first time that something like this has happened to me in about a decade or so of hitting the bars. Was at Circle with a couple of friends last week, incld. a local, and ended up offing Jack. The bill came up to 250 BHT for his drink, 400 for the off fee, and 1500 for his tip. (Unusually, the tip was paid to the bar directly.) The group of us headed out for supper, and my Thai pal was curious about his background so had a long-ish exchange with him. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. At first he seemed perfectly nice, even bordering on friendly, but it was after we got back to my hotel room that matters went south quite quickly. I asked him if he would like a beer, and he insisted several times that he would go out to get some. I thought that was strange, so said I'd just get some from the hotel bar. He then changed his tune, insisting that he had to leave at 1 am; it was already ten to. I was taken aback, to put it mildly. I repeated several times that I had paid out the tip, but he kept mumbling something about the mummy not allowing him to stay. At least, that's what I thought was said ... I asked him to text/call mummy - it didn't make sense that he had to cut and run before business was finished - and finally, after about 15 mins of texting and a call, he finally said that mummy agreed to him staying overnight till 6 am for an extra 1000. I didn't have much choice at this point, so gave in. He asked for the grand up front. I handed it over like a fool, then headed down to the bar to get the beer. What happened next seems almost predictable in the telling of the tale, but, as mentioned, this is virgin territory for me. When I returned with the two cans of Chang, he'd disappeared. Without finishing what he'd been paid for, and with the extra thousand baht that he managed to swindle me out of. At first I assumed that he was just out for a puff, but when I went downstairs I discovered that the little shyster's motorbike was gone. It is deeply, deeply unpleasant to be taken for a ride by someone you've been nothing but nice to .. While the money wasn't a big deal, the principle of the matter certainly was. I returned the following night with Thai pal and had words with Circle's mummy. She summoned a sullen-looking Jack out, and according to what my friend summarized for me afterward, he told her that our business had been done by 1 am, and that I had given him the grand as a bonus. Friend promptly set the record straight. She made Jack hand the 1000 BHT over, who did so with some reluctance, then disappeared without so much as an apology or look of contrition. I informed mummy that, since business had not been conducted either, I would like the 1,500 BHT tip back as well. (The off fee I was willing to forgo, seeing that he did at least spend the time having supper with us.) To her credit, the refund was promptly transacted. I then told her exactly what I thought of the crooked, two-faced fraud she calls an employee, and that if he could do this to one customer, he could certainly do it to another, and she best let him go. She appeared, unlike the boy, sincerely apologetic, so that at least provided the satisfactory conclusion that had eluded me the previous night. TL; DR. Jack from Circle in Chiang Mai is a liar, and a cheat. Avoid.

Having visited Circle several times and knowing the boss well, I know she would be dismayed by the actions of this new employee. Of note in the original post was the promptness at which the customers complaint was resolved. Sadly some employees at these establishments dont think beyond the here and now.

Moistmango, I think that ur post is TOTALLY necessary. The report is one of the reasons this forum exists: to rcmnd the deserving, and to warn against the cheats.

2 warning signs : first paying to the bar in advance the tip to the boy ,Second paying in advance the extra fee to the boy for staying overnight. Strange practicing that calling for troubles.

This has to be the most gringoey thing I’ve read all week. Thanks for the laughs!

I don't let him bother me, I always want to see the bill, especially at these saunas.... if I'm with a friend that's buying a lot of drinks, I keep track on whatsapp with him of everything ordered....when the waiters/bartenders see gringos ordering a lot, they figure they won't notice a few more drinks and tack some on....I'm like an IRS audit at checkout matching my list with theirs.....about 75% of the time there are "errors".
