I just returned from 12 days in Da Nang, Vietnam - as I needed to escape Thailand's Songkran water splashing madness. I LOVE Da Nang - a mid size city right on the South China Sea with little to no pollution as the winds from the sea keep things fresh. I live in Jomtien, Thailand and I found that Da Nang from a financial point of view to be between 20% to 30% cheaper than what things cost in the Pattaya area - I believe that is because the VND - Vietnamese Dong currency is not doing well at the moment. I hired a local gay guide to show me around and he was great - DM me if you want more info about him. No sex - but a great kind guy who has his own car and could take me out of Da Nang to nearby Hue (to see the imperial city), Hoi An where we went to the nearby off-shore island of Cham to do snorkeling and on return to Hoi An proper we visited the unique coconut island water farm in those typical round circular Vietnamese boats (this was one of the highlights for me on this trip to Da Nang). The other thing that I did was rent a motorbike for several days and I just LOVED driving out of Da Nang up into the surrounding hills where you have an amazing view of all of the beaches and the Da Nang city skyline off in the distance. Da Nang has 1 gay bar = https://www.facebook.com/qbardanang1 I did not visit it as I was too busy touring around and getting my daily massages in my lovely 22nd floor AirBnB that overlooked the entire South China Sea. To meet guys, the number ONE app is BLUED - now renamed to HeeSay. Hornet is not big in Vietnam like it is in Thailand. and then there is Grindr (which I hate). Just from the HeeSay app alone - I received over 300 messages in 12 days - truly off the scale - for sex, dates (even for just a romantic walk on the Da Nang seaside), massages, and general queries. Food was great and my gay tour guide turned me onto a different type of Vietnamese coffee - which is called - Cà Phê Muối = sea salt cream coffee - this is now my MOST favorite Vietnamese coffee. so, I guess I need to do a trip report - how do I hate those - as they are so much work to write a proper one with maps, photos, info, etc. - but I will do it eventually.

Arrival in Seoul: A Historical Introduction I touched down in Seoul, eager to dive into its rich tapestry of history and culture. My first stop was the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace. Built in 1395 during the Joseon Dynasty, this grand palace was the main royal residence, a fact that Jinwoo, a local I met on Grindr, shared enthusiastically as we toured its sprawling grounds. Finding someone on Grindr was easy and the night before, just logging in, I had multiple messages. He was sexy, cute and around 30. Afterward, we wandered through Bukchon Hanok Village, admiring the perfectly preserved traditional Korean houses. These hanoks date back to the Joseon period, giving a living history lesson on the architectural style and urban planning of old Korea. Exploring Royal Legacies: Changdeokgung and Insadong With Jinwoo as my guide, I spent the next day at Changdeokgung Palace, another estate known for its beautifully landscaped gardens and as a favored residence of many Joseon princes. Its Huwon (Secret Garden) is a masterpiece of Korean garden design and a recognized UNESCO World Heritage site, which was designed to work in harmony with the natural terrain. Later, we strolled through Insadong, a district famous for its art galleries housed in traditional-style buildings, antique shops, and tea houses. Each shop offered a piece of Korea’s artistic heritage, from delicate ceramics to intricate metalwork. Modern Vibrancy and Historical Views: Myeongdong and Namsan Seoul Tower Venturing out alone, I immersed myself in the bustling streets of Myeongdong, a stark contrast to the historical sites. This shopping haven presented an array of modern Korean fashion and beauty products alongside traditional street food vendors. That evening, Jinwoo and I reunited to visit the Namsan Seoul Tower, located on Namsan Mountain. It closes at 11 but we got there MUCH earlier to see the beautiful lights. The tower offered panoramic views of Seoul, beautifully lit against the night sky. Relaxation and Romance by the River: Hangang Park with Hyun-sik Midweek, I met Hyun-sik, another engaging Grindr sexy hunk who introduced himself with a passion for Seoul’s green spaces. Together, we explored Hangang Park, a vital recreational space for Seoulites developed during the massive urban planning initiatives of the late 20th century. He wanted to bicycle the river area but I said I was too old for that shit and passed. That evening, Hyun-sik led me to the Banpo Bridge to witness its famous Rainbow Fountain show. The bridge, built in 1982, features over 10,000 LED nozzles that create a spectacular multicolored water display, beautifully illustrating Seoul's blend of technology and aesthetics. A Day of Contrasts: Gangnam's Modernity and Bongeunsa Temple's Tranquility Hyun-sik showed me around Gangnam, an area synonymous with modern affluence and dynamic culture. As we navigated through its high-end boutiques and tech hubs. We ended our day at Bongeunsa Temple, established in the 8th century during the Shilla Dynasty. This Buddhist sanctuary offered a peaceful retreat from the buzzing cityscape, with Hyun-sik highlighting its historical significance as a center of Zen Buddhism in Korea. But, he was Christian and driving from the airport, I will assume that there are MANY there as there were so many crosses and mega churches, I felt like I was back in Alabama but with a bunch of Asians. Reflective Farewell: Itaewon and Last Supper My final day in Seoul brought me to Itaewon, a district known for its diverse international community and vibrant nightlife. Hyun-sik and I indulged in a variety of global cuisines, reflecting on my journey through Seoul's past and present. We shared a heartfelt farewell dinner, promising to remain connected across the water. I stayed at the Grand Walkerhill Seoul which also had a casino and many restaurants. I loved the tea house and the buffets there. But, things were so much more expensive than I remembered. Seoul has gifted me with profound historical insights, contrasted beautifully by its modern vibrancy. The friendships I've formed here with Jinwoo and Hyun-sik not only enhanced my experiences but deepened my appreciation for this multifaceted city. I invited both boys to visit Bangkok and both said they would come, (we will see).

I woke up with a bit of a panic attack, realizing that the reason I initially opted for a short time is that I have an online work meeting scheduled for that morning. I sprinted out of bed, made my best effort to look human, pumped caffeine into my system, and managed to be in front of my laptop with a few minutes to spare. Everything was smooth sailing, with the only exception being that I kept getting distracted by the view of a gorgeous man lying on my bed, partially wrapped in a blanket. For a moment, Tan woke up, tried to get up, but when he saw what I was doing, he looked at me, smiled, and decided to continue his slumber. This is just so surreal for me. After that mad morning dash, I was ready to relax and retire back to bed. Tan, thinking I was waking him up, wrapped his arms around me, requesting a few more minutes, which I was happy to oblige. I think we slept for a good hour, as when we managed to go get breakfast, the buffet looked sad and deserted, so we decided to venture out. I think overall, hiring Tan was a good choice. Aside from his good looks and engaging personality, his English is reasonably okay, allowing us to have a conversation. One disappointing thing, though, was that he didn't initiate an extra round that morning (I was willing to pay extra but too shy to ask! Lol). By almost 12 p.m., he left, asking for a repeat performance. By midday, I was bored and running out of ideas to keep myself entertained. I then messaged S'sense asking if Knott is available, but unfortunately, he's not. After browsing through the roster, I settled on Singha. He's well-built and good-looking, so my excitement level went through the roof. I arrived in Suan Plu with a good half hour left before my appointment. I decided to cool off and have an iced coffee to kill time. An Amazon Cafe franchise could be seen a few meters away. Bad choice, as I learned the hard way. Nothing was wrong with their products, but for this small shop, the ground floor housed the ordering area, and you had to climb up the stairs to access the dining area. This is where things became interesting. The steepness of the stairs became the least of your concerns as the narrow steps and wobbly handrail became the prime challenge. I am not exaggerating, but my size EU42/US9 feet had to tiptoe sideways to manage each step as I climbed up. While having coffee, I was already shuddering at the thought of climbing down and was wondering how such structures could be granted consent - a question I answered myself: this is Thailand! After basically rappelling down the stairs, I was finally off to my rendezvous with Singha. Mr. S (the boss) also sent me a Line message, telling me to send him a message if I'm dissatisfied or if the masseur asked for more tip. I found this very reassuring, although I hoped the handsome Mr. S himself would do the massage! Upon entering, everything flowed like clockwork: drawing the privacy curtain, getting tea served, Singha removing my shoes and replacing them with indoor sandals. While I was enjoying my tea, he returned with a selection of oils and asked me to choose which one I preferred. While I didn't really care about oils, etc., I thought of going with the flow and sampled a couple before making my choice. In the room, I asked for hard pressure, which Singha happily obliged, with a request that I let him know right away if his pressure was too strong. A few minutes later, I could see why; his strokes were really good and robust, the type that you know will leave you sore (in a good way) the next day. As requested, he focused on my back and glutes, and it was heavenly. Then he climbed onto the massage bed and started doing a body-to-body massage. He then asked me to lie on my back and continued massaging with him on top of me. He kissed very passionately, and I got flustered every time he made eye contact, flashing his mischievous smile. I managed to work my way out, and with me on top, I took time to run my hands and enjoy his gorgeous body. We took turns, careful not to fall from the massage bed. When he couldn't take it anymore, he stood up and asked to be pleasured. I happily obliged, climbed out of the bed, and started working on him while kneeling down. After he climaxed and cleaned up, he proceeded to take care of me, with me finishing with our lips locked. It was intense. With around 30 minutes left, he carried on, finishing the rest of the massage. And this is the part that I love. Compared to most shops that quickly end the session after you climax, having extra time to enjoy and relish that "post-cum glow" while getting a massage is an experience in itself. Singha finished the massage with a kiss on my forehead - a nice touch. After the second round of tea and cookies in the reception area, my taxi arrived, ready to take me to Siam Paragon. While on my way, I received a message from T asking me to tell him if I'm coming to the bar tonight so that he can bring the shirt he wants me to have. I found the message strange and the intent hard to read. I responded that I still don't know what to do tonight, so I can't promise anything. He replied, saying that if we meet in the daytime, as long as he arrives at the bar by 8:30 p.m., I don't need to pay an off fee (hinting at a daytime meet-up). To be continued...

I found my masseurs in the apps: HeeSay and in Grindr Note that the word "massage" is an illegal word to use within the HeeSay app - so everybody just uses a different version - I used "maxsage" and I had no issues with the HeeSay chat monitors and the Vietnamese audience was able to understand what I was looking for. I am a 4 hands massage afficionado and I had difficulties to arrange those in my AirBnB room - as the Vietnamese are much more conservative than their Thai counterparts - as they still need to hide what they do - as they are all expected to get married by their traditional conservative families. I told all of the guys who complained to me about this to find and marry an open minded lesbian who has the same predicament - which will allow: - the family to be happy with the desired facade, - they can live their lives with their respective man-to-man and woman-to-woman partners, - and if needed to produce children for their respective families - then it would be easier to organize within this open minded facade family structure Almost ALL of the conservative Vietnamese that I told this to - were like WOW - now how do I find an open minded lesbian? None of them knew of any lesbian bars, or apps where lesbians can meet. Is there a lesbian life in Vietnam? Thailand ? They all envied the openness of Thai society - as the gay Vietnamese community was very interested in the Thai government's idea to legalize same sex marriages. I digressed - too much free time as a retiree.... For 4 hands massages - I used this massage shop = "Spa 4 some" which is located at: 43 Tân Thái 6, Mân Thái, Sơn Trà, Đà Nẵng, Vietnam The contact details for this unique massage shop are: local phone number: 0363 640 356 WhatsApp number: +84363640356 email: bkhanhkaka@gmail.com The owner, (I do not remember his name) is very nice and he contacted me via Grindr and proposed his massage shop to me. Normally I don't frequent massage shops as I like to order in - and since this was difficult to arrange for the above stated reasons, I agreed to go to his shop. He has 6 guys that he works with and he arranged for me to have 2 of them (site unseen - as I wanted a surprise) for my 4 hands 90 minute meeting for a charge of 1.400.000 VND - approximately 2.000 baht - 50% of the price that I normally pay back in Thailand - so, Vietnam is so much cheaper because of the poorly performing VND (Dong) currency. The meeting was very good - professional 4 hands massage with a nice smooth transition into the elongated happy ending phase - I was a very happy customer. Lastly, the local guys in the chats use a slightly different mechanism to identify that they are for hire: - the most frequent one is CB or CallBoy or Call Boy - for our Thai equivalent of MB - Money Boy - for massage - they tend to use variations of Massa or Mass or some other iteration You will figure it all out as each country has its hidden secrets to discover :>) which is the joy of why we like to travel and discover.

Moonlight bar: Entrance fee 500 baht. I think it has lost its popularity compared to the past. The night I visited there were 12 people on stage and an additional 6 models. I think they have a working system that pays more attention to models. Mr. Y, one of Mr. Vinapu's favorites, was there with all his charm. 😉 Mr.Mean was watching a show with a group of Asian girls. Then we saw the same team at the Foodland Market restaurant, they were chatting in English at the next table. As for Mr.Babe, I saw him in front of the door of Jupiter bar the other day, he greeted and talked with my friend. My friend said that everyone at the bar loves him, he is a smiling and friendly person. Banana bar: Customer drink fee is 400 baht, boys drinks are 300 baht. Customer turnover is too high, people walk through the door or look at them with confused eyes and give up on entering. Breaking news: Famous mamasan Lucy has left the bar and no longer works there. There is an increase in the number of employees compared to my previous visits, I definitely saw 3 very handsome guys, coincidentally they are all Cambodian.

Part 8 Fresh from Prince, I took a taxi back to the hotel and spent the rest of the afternoon chilling and mindlessly doing random things online. By night time, I was torn between going out or staying in. Not wanting to exaggerate, I kinda feel that my session with Bank should be enough to cap off the day. Although persistent nagging thought keeps on reminding me that I will regret not having maximised my time while in Thailand. I tried to appease and find a middle ground between my two conflicting thoughts by checking the apps. At least I can stay in but still manage to slut it up (lol). Could be my luck but the selection during that day was slim pickings. Could be the time of the year but the number of African MBs were not as plentiful compared from last year. I was able to shortlist a couple but by the end, I wasn't convinced. I ended both conversation with a "maybe" then took a taxi to Surawong. After having dinner, I headed to Screwboys. Very few customers are inside but the stage is full. It felt awkward being "outnumbered" with the whole roster vying for the attention of like 3 customers. I stepped out with my drinks and sat on the couch by the entrance and had an animated chat with the mama and Papasan. We chatted about Sol Bar (see previous report) and suddenly Mai (one of the big cock show guys) arrived. I really find him very attractive but unfortunately he is always booked. Actually, he doesn't mingle a lot - after his performance, he'll be fully dressed up and will be hanging out in the bar or in the dressing area. One day I will off him. Then T arrived and I was surprised to see him looking very dapper in his dress shirt and pants. We hugged and I greeted him a belated happy birthday. He then whipped out his phone and showed me photos of his birthday party that I missed (that I'm also glad to dodge and not pay for). I complimented how sharp he's looking tonight and he replied saying he got one more shirt like the one he's wearing and he wants to give it to me. I was confused thinking he wanted to sell it to me but he clarified he want to give it for free. I smiled and thanked him for the gesture saying there's no need. When I sensed that there's enough customers inside, I returned back to my seat. T must be lucky as he's already seated with a customer. Lucky for me as well as I'm spared with the conversation of why I am not choosing him tonight. Papasan checked on me again suggesting to choose a guy before the show starts. That's not a problem as I already have my eyes on another ex-Dreamboys guy. I made eye contact and motioned him to seat next to me. He introduced himself as Tan and he's from Cambodia. We had a good and decent conversation during the show as his English is quite good - actually the best out of everyone I offed this trip. He said that he's trying to get my attention the last three times I was there but I keep on ignoring him. Again, MB memories are impressively sharp! We also talked about dreamboys and how he ended up leaving (Thai only policy) but he mentioned that working there is much better (I now forgot his reason) Tan seemed to notice that I keep on massaging my shoulder and neck area - he then took over the massage which was surprisingly good. Of course it was to be expected that he then used this to segue and talk about getting offed. My logical self thought that given that he's very attractive plus if the massage hed given will be consistent, then offing him will not be a bad idea. He's adamant for short time and I just agreed (feeling lazy to send him back and start from scratch in the selection process!) While he's getting dressed, T managed to sneak a few moments and had a chat with me wanting to secure an off next time - I gave a non committal response and gave him a bit of substantial tip (price of one drink) and wished him a happy birthday. He smiled gave me a hearty kiss and left. While walking towards Starbucks to wait for our grab taxi, I can't help but notice that Tan is a bit touchy feely with either his hand holding mine or over my shoulder. This is kind of new to me with most of my offs previously reserving this gestures inside the bar or hotel. After showering, Tan started the massage which turned out to be good. I asked him if he was previously trained and he said no - he's just copying strokes he remembers whenever he have a massage and just imagine what will feel good. I was satisfied with that response. He then transitioned to the more sensual part of the session which turned out to be good as well. He kisses very passionately and the sex didn't feel mechanical. At one point, he's even guiding me what to do to make him feel good (I should be charging him later. Lol). Sometimes it's nice to have a session where both person actually seemed to enjoyed it I guess. We both finished, exhausted, and continued our chat. We then showered together, continued our chat lying in bed while having drinks. I don't know why but for some reason, he then asked if it's ok to change the session to long time as he wants to stay longer. I scanned my memory trying to recall if my room is ready for long time (i.e.valuables, etc are secured) and after weighing my options, agreed to Tan's suggestion. It would be lovely to have the comfort of sleeping next to a gorgeous, warm and cozy body again.

at first look it seems excessive but only to those who go to Bangkok planning to stay celibate. More ambitious whorers may be inclined to take massage during day and off boy long time at night. even in Saphan Kwai 1.5 hr session would be 500 +1000 tip, that's 1500. Guy for overnight will be at least 3000 as I doubt even on Grinder in Bangkok suitable suitor go for much less. I don't count off fee because you already paid but likely guy will be from bar so we need to add 500 for your drink so we have 1500+3500= 5000 as likely absolute minimum including label 'cheap Charlie" sticked to your forehead. I my opinion adding 2000 to that and having basically guy available 7/24 in exchange is not a bad turn of events. Sure if arrangement is for few days, boy may settle for less in exchange for not worrying about business for that period. As for daily expenses you mentioned they are always part and parcel of such arrangements and it goes without saying that it will be us who finance those although occasionally this or that guy may insist on paying his own meal or drink, be it chewing gum or small bottle of water in 7/11

I went to Thailand last week, for the first time during the Songkran festival. We had made plans with my Cambodian friend in advance, but we did not have any conversations about tipping or long-term stay. This issue developed completely spontaneously. When I arrived in Bangkok, he said he could stay with me for 5 days before returning to his hometown and I accepted this offer. There was no problem since I booked the hotel room for 2 people. He only left me to change his clothes and when he went to the gym. All in all, it was a fun experience, including city trips, water fights, visits to restaurants and bars in the evening (moonlight, banana bar and Jupiter bar) and sleeping together. In short, if you find the right person, you can have a great experience.

You wouldn't believe how many times the local clients are direct, so fucking direct....no mincing words. I let them know to "close the deal"...now power, no money....some I tease that if they can't get hard, they'll be the bottom....... If guys know that they have performance issues, they'll already have their remedio, to take care of that deficiency ..... DON'T accept subpar performance.....that is all 😉

There is no accounting for tastes🤭 I'm in my late 30s and frankly, this idea didn't appeal at all. I prefer making love in long time (even temporarily) instead of short-term pleasures. I'm willing to pay for this because I'm obsessed with that guy 😊

here my answers: 1. since I stay in the area rarely I need transport to hotel and legend that boys are reluctant to walk is gross exaggeration . For going back I almost never give money understanding and if they ask, explaining that they got enough already. When one boy protested he doesn't have 'small money' i pulled wad of few red notes and offered to change brown bill. Shockingly he did not take an offer, ever more shockingly since then we met at last 5 times and he never asked for tax money. 2.I almost never tip mamasan , exceptions are if they were helping to translate, rarely necessary or I know mamasan for long time( like Lucy at Banana or Screwboys mamasan ) and I'm in spending mood or I asked mamasan to bring boy who is not working today, in short once every two trips. 3. that may happen but even if I dint not like boy much I would consider that money well spent 4. 127.38% agreed, for me main advantage of long time is to wake up in the morning next to warm body with dick firmly attached. It's why I hate when they deprive me that small life pleasure by asking to go home earlier

I am liking this math... Very spot on! If I may add, there's some "incidentals" that may have been avoided because of the extended LT arrangement: 1. Transport back and forth the bar 2. Mama/Papasan/Waiter tip 3. Drink and/or tip for the boy you summoned to sit next to you but have to send them back to the rotation. 4. Time - I think this is the most essential especially for those of us that have limited time in Thailand. Less time searching and more time enjoying!

Fully agree. I almost exclusively off long time and situation when long time is cut shot happens from time to time. My view on that is more cynical - almost always when they ask for early departure it's premeditated and decided well before we closed door. They agree for long time to secure the deal and then invent some idiotic make -believe to let them go. Roommate needs the key, motorbike parked in wrong spot, sister calling from bus terminal and needs to be picked or they are hungry and promise to return in 10 minutes ( with that my experience is 50/50 i.e every seconds case they return after short while.). No sense to resist just let them go and try to extract some monetary concession. Some guilt ridden even offer substantial discount but there are assholes who are ready to make scene if they don't get fully agreed tip. I don't resist but remember and next time they approach me for an off, they and all around may hear 'no' and explanation why. But I show ,mercy' to those business oriented who suggested lower tip in exchange for early leave. No need to dramatize as that is fairly rare . Friend who rather never offs long time has opposite problem , guys are suggesting they want to stay till morning, usually hoping for bigger tip I guess. In his case it's boys who are disappointed . When we compare our proverbial notes I still think asking for an extension happens bit more often than deceitful cutting session short.

I've been in both situations and from experience, here's the approach I have developed: 1. While at the bar, make your preference known but never push for an LT. 2. Striking a good rapport helps a lot (I guess this applies to both ST and LT). Engaging well and making sure they enjoy their time with you matters. 3. LT is a risk for you but also for the guy as well. Being in a vulnerable sleeping state with a stranger can be concerning. Aside from rapport, they must feel safe - so any clue they pick up along the way (whether valid or not) can make them change their minds. 4. On the materialistic side, the state and quality of the accommodation matters. Air-conditioning, a well stocked fridge, strong wifi etc will make a difference. 5. Sometimes, mama/papasan involvement helps (emphasis on sometimes) 6. Specify what LT means for you and the $$$ implications if not met 7. One good LT off with a guy builds your "reputation" in that club (these boys talk!) 8. Timing matters. If you off too early on a peak night, the guy will finish asap and dash back to the club in hopes of earning more. Unfortunately, the above are not foolproof. If the guy wants to leave, they will and my advice is don't even attempt to convince them otherwise.

From Thai PBS World On CEOWORLD magazine’s list of “World’s Best Countries To Visit In Your Lifetime 2024”, Thailand is ranked top, according to Government Spokesman Chai Wacharonke. The ranking is based on feedback from over 295,000 readers, making it the highest level of participation in the magazine’s history. According to CEOWORLD, Thailand offers a diverse range of experiences, such as wild nightlife, delicious food, vibrant art and culture, great shopping options, winding rivers and canals, Buddhist temples and night markets. Visitors can also visit more peaceful locations in Bangkok, such as Bang Krachao Island. The rankings are: 1. Thailand, 72.15% 2. Greece, 67.22% 3. Indonesia, 65.15% 4. Portugal, 64.32% 5.

I hope they reopen. It's an institution. Nothing else like it in Asia. But if they are still closed when I visit Bangkok in early to mid June, I will gladly take Tawan guys from the street back to hotel room! Maybe I will hire 2 of them to do muscle flexing for me!

From Thai PBS World Art enthusiasts in Bangkok rejoice! One of Thailand’s prominent collectors, Sermkhun Kunawong, is set to open the doors to his private collection on May 4, transforming it into a stunning new museum experience. The Kunawong Museum House is not your typical museum. Stepping inside the 5,000-square-meter space in Lat Phrao is like entering a living testament to Thai art of various fields and eras. More than 1,000 pieces – paintings, prints, sculptures, furniture, photographs, headpieces, Khon masks, and decorative arts – by Thai masters as well as rising and popular names weave a visual tapestry, narrating the artistic evolution of Thailand from the past to the present. The display is unique and lively. Each room in the building has its unique character and is decorated with valuable artworks of various kinds. Antique furniture is everywhere and, pleasingly, the artworks are mostly at eye-level, inviting exploration in an open and accessible environment. They are also unconfined by glass or (visible) security measures. Those into Thai culture will not be disappointed as the display includes enamel from the Ayutthaya and Rattanakosin periods, Buddha statues, Buddha cabinets, Chadanangs, flame tiaras, and Buddhist scripture boxes from the reign of King Rama IV, displayed on exquisite Thai stands from the reigns of King Rama IV and V. Puppet cabinets showcase various works. All these works are treasures that should be kept for posterity to admire and be proud of in our civilization. If you go: Baan Kunawong Museum is located on Soi Lat Phrao 54. It’s open for viewing every Saturday-Sunday from 9.30am to 6.00pm Entry is 450 baht, and visitors must be 13 years of age or older. Bookings can be made at https://www.zipeventapp.com/ Continues with photos at https://www.thaipbsworld.com/art-collector-opens-treasure-trove/

Bangkok got bit more expensive but mostly in more "upscale" bars some boys may ask for inflated tip , say 2000 where 1500 was norm or 2500 up to 3000 instead of 2000. Tips in massages are rather the same . Soi6, Silom and Suriwong are your friends and Saphan Kwai /Suthisan area where min tip oscillate between 800 and 1000 . As for "sexy twinks " what that really means ? The same guy may cause sudden erection in one and screaming run away in another one. Thailand and all SE Asian are not areas with shortage of sexy twinks

the "in your lifetime" construction is really weird. When else would you do it?

Thanks for the compliment ichigo. This forum gives me so much enjoyment and information that I like to share whatever intel that I have with our fellow forum members. I spent the 2019/2020 New Year's Eve in lovely Phú Quốc and I had a great time. I have a funny massage story from Phú Quốc. I was walking in one of those narrow alleyways near where all the main hotels are that go from the main road down to the beach and there was this very sexy massage guy that convinced me to get a massage in his shop. The only problem was that there were no walls just a sheer type of sheet separating each of the perhaps 10 massage beds from each other. This guy got me so excited with a BIG erection while I was laying on my stomach and he kept massaging my dick but I could not moan too load or shoot my load as there were women and other straight customers to my left and right. When I rolled over onto my back we had to stop because things became too obvious. I left there so horny and frustrated. My only regret was to ask him for a way for us to continue in a more private place. To this day, I think about that moment. If I ever go back to Phú Quốc I will try to find him again but after 4 years already I am sure that he has moved onto other things by now....

This bar needs to be checked out. Its Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sake-Pub-สาเก-ผับ/341416052585697 where its address is stated as 60/1 Soi Damnoen Klang Tai. This seems to be a tiny road 250m south of Khaosan Road and 350m east of Sanam Luang. I reckon it is in the vicinity of Google Coordinates 13.756346380428468, 100.49797434403985. There are some interesting pictures on its Facebook page around April 8th or 9th. Here's a Songkran poster from April 12th: And on Youtube, a video from 2019: Almost certainly a bar for Thais rather than foreigners.

Fortunately, gang members weren't carrying weapons other than sharp teeth.

From The Nation Anzac Day was marked on Thursday with special remembrance rites in Kanchanaburi, honouring soldiers who died building the Death Railway in slave-like conditions during World War II. Presiding over the ceremony were Australian Ambassador Angela Macdonald, her New Zealand counterpart Jonathan Kings along with deputy chief of Australia’s Joint Operations, Rear Admiral Justin Jones. Also present were representatives of the Thai armed forces, other embassies as well as descendants of the prisoners of war who lost their lives on the Death Railway. The event was held at the Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum. The first Anzac Day was held in 1915 in honour of members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac), who fought in the Gallipoli Campaign during World War I, which resulted in heavy casualties on both sides. Now, Anzac Day is marked on April 25 every year, and has been expanded to honour all Australians and New Zealanders “who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations". It also recognises the contribution of veterans and those currently serving. In his speech, Jones said it was an honour to participate in the ANZAC Day remembrance at the Hellfire Pass, which was part of the Death Railway, where some 12,800 prisoners of war and 90,000 Asian workers were killed. Macdonald said the rite was to remember and honour Australian troops who have sacrificed their lives to serve and protect the country, while Kings remembered New Zealand troops who died fighting for peace. He wrapped up his speech by declaring “ka maumahara tonu tātou ki a rātou” in Maori, meaning “we will remember them”.

It's not that monkeys are more like humans as it is humans are more like monkeys. They preceded us in evolutionary progression. What else could possibly explain Marjorie Taylor Green.

I don't know why you guys are talking Airlines. The topic is FIGHTS !!

she could be nasty and very pushy so yes , it's kind of relief but I hope she left for some normal reason. Last 2 times I saw her she did not look well and I even took pains to ask one of mamasans if all is good with her. He said yes other than her father died recently but often people who see us daily did not see changes as much as those who meets us every Christmas only. cross fingers , hope she enjoys her retirement, certainly she was something

we can use more elaborate report mind you , lol .................. as for visiting bars with boy my generaI comment , not related to your post situation, will be that before we take boy to bars it's better to make sure he really wants to go there as for many, if not majority boys that is doubtful attraction. After making that mistake few times I got actually enlightened by the boy who told me afterward " I went with you only because I knew you wanted". That is by no mean universal, few times we went to bar because it was boy's idea, not mine and my first ever visit to Tawan was because Arena boy I was passing by with , suggested we go in because he wants to see ' big boys".

No surprise that guys will constantly Line you! They know you are generous!

Quick update to the club. Was back in Manila and called in on Friday night, when they had a special event on! A lot busier than last time, with the sky at packed for the drag show, karaoke and go go boys. You were given a fluro bracket on arrival which indicated your preference. One level was nude with a cute worker taking care of the towels;) It was so much better than last time! I had a great time. Lots of guys just my type, young, smooth skin with sexy round asses and an appetite for sex. I had a great night and left around midnight completely exhausted. To say it was good for my ego is is an understatement. So many guys I liked liked me, ant a much higher ratio then I’m used to! I only saw one other westerner while I was there, so maybe guys just had a hankering for white meat:) Next time I’m in town I’ll definitely try to align it with a special night here.

Typically, everybody I met in Taiwan were 25-32 years old slim/short (like 1.70-1.78) or gym guys in some phase of bulking (but no belly or chubbies). Both types where excellent fuckers and great personalities, friendly and helpful guys. Gym type fit six pack top guys were not so easily available. In massage spas they are available, but I did not see a point to hire as I was most of the time satisfied with my meetings. In Kaoshiung I communicated with few hot 22-25 years old fit sixpack guys, however google translate made it really annoying and led nowhere. What I like in Taiwan is that meetings are like between equals and guys dont think about your wallet. In contrary - one guy I visited lived in a huge 🏠 (he said its his and his mom investment). Commander D in Taipei has underwear parties with about 70-100 good looking twinks with nice asses and sometimes impressive dicks. They mostly dont care about older Europeans but many did not mind if you fondled them; and its generally fun to slurp gintonics around them. Great bar service. One young sexy flirtatious guy from Hongkong could not speak a word in English. Colonial times seems to be over😀. One 23 y model looking guy from Manila was shocked about the underwear party, he said they have nothing so extreme in Manila… . Be aware that a 🚀 or a word “hi” in a profile or blurred face photo are symbols of sex with drug use. In two weeks I did not hear Russian language. PS I had a stopover in Shanghai and the hotel was near Pudong airport. Apps were promising, all guys 10-25 km away in the center. I chatted with a few, they said “everything is possible and available on the weekends”. One said he flies to Berlin for real fun.

Barebacking not only places the escorts at risk, the rest of us as well. Selfish lack of respect for life, or all. No way to sugar-coat it.

while wholeheartedly I agree with Thailand top position, rest is bit questionable - relatively low place of India or Italy with relation to Greece, absence of Mexico , USA , Spain , France , Turkey and UK and prominent position of Emirates makes me wonder. Truth is , always those types of rankings produce results questionable results. Me and my travelling friends often recall similar ranking from one of luxury travel magazines in early 90 ties when Palm Springs California came on top of most desired cities to visit leaving in the dust behind Paris, Rome , Rio, Tokyo, NY and all other worthies including St.Olaf, MN

I can confirm @Mapraou info. I met with the Tawan guys last night at the 7-Eleven near the former Tawan where the guys hangout as previously reported by @roughjock. Most of them looked like they've seen better days. The cheeky former tout/doorman from Tawan "suggested" that I joined them for drink (which means that I need to go buy a drink from 7-Eleven and some drinks for the guys too) and I happily obliged 🤣. Some info I got from them: 1. The guys hanging out there are available for "offs". I saw a few of them trying to catch the attention of the ladies passing by 🤣. That former doorman was also heavily pushing for me to off one of the guys there and then 😅. The down side is that, since we were in the street and with their full clothes on, you can't really tell if they've been maintaining their bodies or which one appeals to you the most. 2. The bar is said to be open again towards the later part next month but as with all news in Thailand, take it with a pinch (or in this case, a spoonful) of salt. Looking to off one or two of them in the following nights, hopefully for me to have a good time and to show support for the guys from one of my favourite bars. 🙂

From The Thaiger A bombshell announcement rocks the media landscape as Voice TV, the longstanding bastion of pro-Thaksin views, announces it is shutting down. The board of Voice TV declared the end of its 15-year run, leaving some 100 journalists and staff members facing the axe. The abrupt closure has left tongues wagging, with no immediate rationale provided for the drastic move. Established back in 2008, Voice TV initially made waves as a niche satellite channel before expanding its reach to digital terrestrial platforms in 2014. However, in a twist of fate in 2019, the channel relinquished its digital TV presence amidst financial turmoil, reverting to satellite broadcasts and online streams via Facebook and YouTube. Renowned for its unwavering pro-Thaksin stance, Voice TV’s pundits have often rallied behind the Shinawatra family, raising eyebrows and courting controversy. Notably, the channel’s former anchors have made waves in the political arena, with figures like ex-Future Forward luminaries Pannika Wanich and Piyabutr Saengkanokkul transitioning from news desks to parliamentary seats, reported Thai PBS World. In related news, the Supreme Administrative Court delivered a final blow, dismissing the Prime Minister’s Office secretariat‘s hefty 2.8 billion baht lawsuit against iTV Public Company. The lawsuit, stemming from a joint agreement with Shin Corp to operate a TV station using the UHF spectrum, has been a thorn in the side since 2007, persisting through numerous administrations. ============================ Anti-corruption commission lets go of Yingluck’s exoneration Thailand’s National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) has unanimously chosen not to contest the Supreme Court’s ruling, which exonerated former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra and five others from malfeasance charges linked to a 240-million baht public relations campaign, according to an insider familiar with the situation. The NACC filed allegations against Yingluck, former Prime Minister’s Office minister Niwatthamrong Boonsongpaisan, Yingluck’s secretary-general at the time, Suranand Vejjajiva, Matichon Plc, Siam Sport Syndicate Plc, and Siam Sport director Ravi Lohtong. They were accused of abusing their authority by neglecting to hold public tenders for the PR campaign from August 2013 to March 2014. Consequently, Matichon and Siam Sport, the media firms, were favoured and received the contracts. Yingluck, Niwatthamrong and Suranand commissioned Matichon to manage a campaign in 12 provinces to boost infrastructure projects, which the government intended to fund with a 2 trillion baht loan. The NACC stated that the 240 million baht spent on the campaign was squandered when the promotional roadshow was cancelled following the Constitutional Court decision that the proposed legislation for borrowing was unconstitutional. However, the Supreme Court ruled that there was no harm to the state concerning the PR fund distribution and contract award to Matichon and Siam Sport, as government organisations and the Cabinet had endorsed the Yingluck government’s transport infrastructure projects. The Budget Bureau also agreed that Yingluck, as prime minister, could allocate a contingency fund for the PR project. Therefore, the NACC had no legal grounds to appeal, the source said.

I always get sick in my second week in Rio. My last time out was Monday. Since Tuesday, I have been suffering some kind of respiratory infection, other than COVID, I am testing negative. Anyways, just in case, I did not want to go around infecting others and I did not even feel in the mood to go out or have sex. It was hard not to go to Point yesterday. Last night was the first night I slept comfortably, and today I spent the day with I since 10am, to celebrate his 23rd birthday. I do not feel yet as to have sex, so we just shared quality time together, and he prepared another churrasco, the boy is a master at the grill. He just left with all our leftovers (food, weed, and Bacardi), to celebrate with his friends tonight. I will stay home tonight to finish recovering. I am leaving tomorrow morning.

Jason, don't you understand some people are shy😃

They do that in Egypt and Morocco 😂 you just have to make sure of who you will be messing up with. In this case I would say he is not even a brother, just a random good looking dude who gets his commission

Last night we went to Point. I did not check before their IG, so I had a nice surprise. As today the locals celebrate a holiday, they had a special event with free feijoada, and the food was quite standard good. Besides that, the place was full of hot guys of all kinds looking for a programa. All the guys I have reported in my blog posts were there, with the exception of Jo, the Novinho my Number One is training. The atmosphere was sooooo good, the boys were sooooo friendly. I had the pleasure to finally meet the friend @Novarunner. We had been sharing boys for years now, and it was great to finally shake his hand. Of course, he left with J, an amazing boy I wrote about in my reports. Soon after they left, we followed them. I went back to my place with my boy I. We waited for his trainee, who came to my place after clocking out from the gas station he works at. I kicked out my boy and had a full programa alone with the Novinho. He was amazing, the second time he was taking dick and you should see how masterfully he rode it. He is joining the little group of my regulars.

Normally, I would have considered a Songkran trip but decided to spend 3 weeks in Japan instead, admiring the cherry blossons and enjoying the balmy weather. On my return I got itchy feet again and planned a trip to Thailand and Cambodia last week but on checking the daily temperatures, I have since thought the better of it and will have to wait till it cools down a bit. I remember doing a trip to Myannmar during April a few years ago when it was 42 degrees every day and I nearly died! We have these high temperatures here in Perth from time to time during summer - this year we had over a week of consecutive days over 40 - but I just stay home in the air conditioning. It's not a time to be out and about sightseeing. BTW, Japan was ridiculously overcrowded with Chinese tourists. Unfortunately, they are back with a vengeance. Of course, they have as much right as anybody else to go on holidays; it's just that the sheer number is overwhelming. In the carpark near a famous temple in kyoto I counted 52 huge tourist buses!

I’ll say my experiences with Kman are opposite yours. It’s my go to place. Never have an issue. Will admit I always do same day or 1 day inquiries so don’t know if booking several days out causes issues. I ask for a particular person and usually have an answer within an hour. Never been disappointed. Prices are very clearly posted for rooms and minimum tips so shouldn’t be an issue . Sorry you’re having issues. My favorite place .

Want to put money on that?

EVERYWHERE is like this today, plus as you get older, we turn into our parents remembering times past $$$

they have 7000 reasons to message you.....daily

The post is a little old but I just tried out Alpha Massage in QC. They advertised it was a pool party with unlimited drinks. I got there early Friday night and was greated by two ladies behind the counter minding a baby. I booked a massage and scrub. i hung out in the wet area for a little while. It was underwhelming. Pretty small with only a few customers milling around. i didn’t choose my masseur, but he was pretty cute. Fully dressed for the duration and no hint of any extra service. Massage was great and the scrub was intense. For a massage place it was pretty good, but there was nothing erotic or sexual about it all.

Regarding payment, I paid a little more than the current standard prices and I do not regret it.😊 -7,000 baht tip per day - Bar penalty fee for 5 days 5*500: 2,500 baht - In addition, daily travel, food and entertainment costs were also my responsibility

That is too funny! From studying the volume of this thread, the preaching seems to be coming from those shilling in favor of barebacking and glossing over the risks. I am just wondering if folks are honest with themselves about the risks, to them and their partners. Not to put too fine a point on it, but we older guys are one foot in the grave - but our younger partners have a long life ahead and they may end up dealing with the outcomes of high risk behavior for a long time. In my book, they deserve better. You do you. But be honest with yourself about the impact of high risk behavior. Amen.
