I think the Thai Ministry of Tourism should toss this forum a commission for all the spur-of-the-moment trips it inspires. I mean, who wouldn't feel a twinge of envy and rush to book a trip after scrolling through those Thailand adventures and tips written here? So, there I was, bitten by the travel bug, and voila! ------ found myself booking an unplanned trip to the land of smiles. Touching down in Bangkok after a longer than usual stopover in Taiwan, I braced myself for the infamous immigration snake lines. But despite the full queues, every counter was promptly manned, and I breezed through. Maybe because cause of the build up in immigration, baggage claim took less than a minute, thanks to my luck and eagle eyes spotting my luggage as soon as I approached the carousel. Sorted out some cash and a SIM card, then off to my pre-booked pickup. As I got whisked off from my pickup point, I was hit with that warm, unmistakable Bangkok air, making me buzz with excitement and giddiness for the adventures ahead. Hotel check-in was expected to be a breeze, yet I found myself low-key panicking as my card repeatedly acted up declining the transaction. It finally dawned on me that I had forgotten to adjust the low maximum spend setting—a habit whenever I travel. The allocated room seemed reasonable initially, but its issues became apparent later. After showering off my jetlag, I hailed a taxi for my pre-booked appointment at S'sense Spa in Suan Plu. Knott was still at the spa and appeared delighted to see me. Upon asking if he really remember me, he promptly identified me by removing my socks pointing at my ankle tattoo, a gesture that left me both shocked and impressed. The quality of my session with Knott, both massage and cheeky extras, remained consistently good as I remembered. This explains my choice of S'sense as my first stop—a reassuring and safe start to the trip, saving the fun experimentation, risks, and disappointments for later. Following purchase of supplies and stocking the fridge, jetlag began to rear its ugly head. Nevertheless, I resolved to push through and explore Silom. To my disappointment, Tawan remained shuttered, prompting me to wax nostalgic reminiscing nights spent there, particularly recalling that going to Tawan was my first foray into Silom nightlife. My first ever off was with Tawan's hunky Lek, given my hotel was close by (the now defunct Glitz). Although tempted to inquire about familiar faces nearby, shyness prevailed, fearing potential embarrassment if they were not from Tawan. I strolled towards Hotmale, noted a familiar performance and lineup except for a cute, smiling hunk whom I promptly invited to join me. He's from Myanmar and only been working there for four months. He has a very sweet and friendly demeanour. Being a rookie, he seems to be very dependent on translation apps. I typically don't mind language barriers, often finding them endearing and cute. But given my fatigue from travel and jetlag, I decided to listen to my body and give tonight a pass. I bid him farewell with a bit generous tip, sincerely promising to return. And that, folks, is how I ended up with no off on my first night in Bangkok!

Home Spa posted a photo array today that includes a few guys who appear to be new. They seem to know type their clients want.

Double Banger

a 'Double Shot' ?

Don't know if there's a name for it but this is probably what it looks like

From Pattaya News At 3:50 PM, on March 16th, 2024, Chalong police officers captured two New Zealand nationals who allegedly refused to pull over for a traffic offense, evaded police arrest, and were later accused of assaulting an officer who pursued them in Mueang, Phuket. According to the police report, Chalong patrol police were performing their regular duty on Chaofa East Road, in front of the Chalong police station. Two foreigners on motorbikes did not follow the traffic laws, not riding close to the left side of the road and riding at high speed in a community area, according to Chalong police. The police on duty asked for cooperation from them to stop their motorbikes. However, the two violators then allegedly attempted to flee from the police. After the police pursuit, the two foreigners were infuriated and allegedly attacked the police while having the incident recorded by the police. The situation escalated as the foreigners allegedly attempted to snatch the officers’ firearm causing the gun to fire once, nobody was injured, according to the police. The police were able to forcibly apprehend them shortly after and escorted them to Chalong police station for further legal processing. The two suspects were publicly identified as Mr. Hamish Day, a 36-year-old New Zealand national, and Mr. Oscar Mattson Day, a 38-year-old New Zealand national. They were facing harsh legal charges for conspiring to physically assault police officers and other related charges. As of press time both men remain in police custody and have not released any statements to explain the incident.

Maybe you should try visiting the U.S. Capitol building in Washington. You'd have so many friends there. 🥳

Yet you've never provided verified evidence that the crime rates in these cities are predominantly due to undocumented immigrants. Where's the beef? Or are you simply an undocumented hotdog salesman? 🌭 🤡 🌭

Not for them, maybe Just claim you were waylaid by a band of big boys with bigger guns.🙂

And those photos show exactly why Trump will win in a landslide in the fall. Immigration and crime... Crime and immigration. Blue cities and their soft-on-crime policies have destroyed once great cities. You can show statistics from now till the cows come home. Try telling that to the hard working citizens of Chicago, NY, LA, San Francisco, etc.. the list of crime ridden blue cities go on and on. And Biden's open border policies are nothing short of a disaster. There is a reason that almost every major poll shows Trump leading Biden in both a 2-person race and even more in a 5-person race. And Trump leading Biden in seven of the eight toss-up states. These polls haven't moved in months.

I think you broke this forum....no one has posted since

Apr 1st but what year?

At least no farang fell, or jumped, out!

In his infinite wisdom, I note that GayGuides owner Totally Oz has shortened the St. Patrick Day celebrations. Normally a 24 hour event, Oz today is limiting it to a few hours in the morning: St Patrick’s Day 2024 17 March 2024 7:00 AM Until 9:55 AM This should put the emphasis on going to church rather than getting drunk. Future holiday shortenings are being considered.

Dear, you are now looking at a map on which the countries and blocks of countries in which the fact of genocide in Ukraine was recognized by the court are indicated in red Here the countries in which parliaments made a political decision to recognize the genocide are indicated in blue. And the strange green color indicates countries in which, although they tried to make a political decision on genocide, one of the chambers did not agree to dance to the drum of propaganda.

So here is only Soviet “administrative deportation”. No court decision but purely communist party/secret service lists of names they chose. This was not comfy travel to the next city, but usually to some remote cold place in Russia or Kazakhstan with no housing and slave work. Unfit usually died from hunger, cold or sickness (elderly, children). Families were deported together, children included.

This is just a fragment of total terror.

Such personal attacks are usually characteristic of poorly educated people who do not know how to conduct reasoned discussions.

Ahh..expert on repressions and killings is speaking. Indeed, Soviet/Russian terror is a class in itself. And its kept fresh and dynamic!

I feel a song coming on...

Distinctly recall one guy who did four consecutive without losing erection. It's rare but oh so memorable. On previous trip had one who managed two during session at One Spa.

I'm more concerned that they may drag me to nana first 🤣

You are forgiven - I think I express prevailing mood here . Offing boy while under jet lag could result in all too easy money for him , had you fell asleep immediately. Been there , done that. Funny thing, just yesterday I exchanged messages with other member and complained that forum becomes too quiet for lack of trip reports not knowing you about to grace us with one almost right away. Very thank you for dynamic relation

were they stupid? Assault on police officer on duty and discharging his firearm ? Did not know New Zealanders are so fierce. It may be a while before they see light of the day and their last name will not help with it although fact that at least one wears helmet may be mitigating factor.

Flames engulf the 11th floor of the 31 storey EDGE Central Pattaya Condo on Second Road, triggering a rapid evacuation as residents flee (photo: The Nation).

@a-447 is right. There is another reason, though. A good percentage of the clients that these businesses serve are in the closet; many married to wives. Their employers are not as open as companies in the West, reinforcing the closet. The shops know that to serve this market properly, they have to make sure that the customer never gets to see another customer, or even any other member of the staff. Thus, it makes no sense to ask customers to come to a central location (the shop). In fact, I think many of these businesses do not have a shop or office. The management operates virtually. The only real estate they lease may be a couple of private rooms here and there, whose addresses they will not release to the public or customers (lest the wife discovers it). That's why they operate the way they do: the chosen boy will meet you at a notified location and walk you to the hideaway. There are exceptions though. Some businesses also run a bar and walk-ins are allowed. But these businesses also operate in parallel the same system where they take email bookings and the boys will meet their customers outside nearer the rented rooms. Even Tokyo Kids, which I have used at least twice, maybe three times but the first time was long ago (or I'm confusing that time with another shop), although they have an address and a signboard outside, I have never been inside. They've always met me outside and walked me to their private room.

There's a reason for this. Japanese streets are chaotic - they do not have names and street numbers are not in numerical order. In some streets more than 1 building can have the same number. Also, any signs you need to help find your way out to identify your destination will not be in English. If, for example, you catch a taxi to somewhere which is not on a main street, it will drop you off near where you want to go. You then have to get out and wander around the area until you find the place. It's a nightmare.

I have. A number of times over several years. Nothing to worry about. But always be punctual, in keeping with Japanese norms.

Oh wow, Apollo closed down? I was just there in May 2023. But to be honest, I'm not a big fan as the music's a little too loud for my liking. But there are plenty of hot guys to meet on the apps.

It's called getting older. He was much hotter in the early seasons of Shameless, but he's thickening... although he's still only 33.... could pass for 40. Hard living?

when I look at pictures from 1999 to 2006 Pattaya looked much better too

Forcibly removing children from their countries of permanent residence is absolutely not funny. The United States kidnapped and forcibly got out tens of thousands of children from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan! But!!! Any international organization that dares to investigate these crimes by the United States risks being sanctioned or worse, imprisoned in U.S. prisons and tortured there! The United States has the largest number of political prisoners in the world! The United States openly threatens all international organizations that if they do not repeat the false propaganda of the United States, there will be sanctions! Child abduction, violence against abducted children is US policy!

A balcony built for "influencers"?!

In my experience, they show no concern at all. This is Japan, and they are doing a job! I have used these services for many years, and always had good service. Not many biys speak English, but, as you will have seen, you order the services you want from a 'shopping list', ant the items are usually faithfully delivered. If you go to a bar, King of College, for example, the manager usually speaks some English, and has a menu you can peruse! More top boys than bottom, usually, they say Western cocks are sometimes too big!

yes all sounds hyper shady... wrought with red flags

Difficult, I was 2 weeks old! Hadn't had much sex at that point!

Great report, thankyou I'm wanting to go to Jakarta in July just I'm a little nervous, thanks again 👍 I await your next report

Did you hang around the Zoo Station much? I'm always amazed at how good-looking and physically-fit guys in Germany are. Fitness is a religion there. OTOH to me London is slim pickings for physically-fit guys. I hope everyone notices how 70-100 Euros is the standard rate in Germany. Half of the rest of Europe.

USSR isn't Russia, dear. You are writing about another country with another political system and territory. Ask commy about it.
