Check out this 38 minute informative Youtube video rant from Ben Hart (American lawyer in Bangkok who is now a Thai citizen).

I found it illuminating and very enlightening.

Thoughts?

 

[Roadside haircuts and other street side treats]

I saw a couple of these when I was in Da Nang last month. 

They were usually on busy street corners and many people were waiting for their chance to have a street side haircut.

imagine the high feeling all of the local residents had after all of that bong smoke

Hi Shax,

I was in Da Nang for 12 days last month and the number one app for meeting guys was the HeeSay (formerly BLUED) app.

The ratio of available guys when compared to Grindr was 200% more found in the HeeSay app.

The Hornet app had hardly any people posting.

Good luck and enjoy

TIT - This Is Thailand - contradictions and always changing of the mind

I read somewhere else that there are approximately 6.000 marijuana shops across Thailand and then all of the related upstream businesses (farms, cultivation, distributors, equipment, etc.).  All of these will be interrupted and many people put out of work.  Then there will be the above mentioned loss of income and related taxes to the government.

In addition, with the government wanting to tax us "residents" (those of us who live here more than 180 days) - you wonder if this current government is trying to hurt its economy with the elimination of the marijuana industry and ability to attract foreigners who want to live here without this new additional tax burden and tax reporting....

so sad these photos - I hope that this phenomena does not spread to Boyztown and the Jomtien Complex (Supertown).

Pattaya traffic is only a problem if you are on a songtaew, it turns left at the Bali Hai Overpass and gets stuck in traffic at the lead up to marine hotel

I had to go into Pattaya city from Jomtien twice last week due to birthday celebration activities.

One time by songtaew (bahtbus) and as you wrote the traffic was jammed all the way up to where the songtaew starts for the return trip back to Jomtien (near the temple) - but now they are restricting 2nd road in many places from Boyztown for minor construction sites (we counted 6 of them) that restrict the 3 lane traffic down to 1 lane.  So, you get the DOUBLE nightmare of part 1 (normal) + part 2 (new due to redoing already completed construction).

For the 2nd trip we went by car and did as you said to turn right - so we avoided the above mentioned part 1 (normal) delay - but because we were going to a birthday dinner in Wongamat - we encountered all of the part 2 redoings of already completed construction traffic jams....

Does the mayor of Pattaya city every have to drive around in this traffic nightmare?

Understand your dislikes but doesn't Pattaya have horrendous traffic and crowds (second only to Bangkok according to tourism report from government this week)?

Very correct what you wrote.

I try to only venture into Pattaya city from Jomtien 1 time per week - as that never ending traffic is so frustrating.  And most of it is because of the NEVER ending road construction on roads that have already completed their road works months earlier.

[I may do a side trip]

Hello Olddaddy,

I flew on Thai Vietjet Air directly from BKK Suvarnabhumi airport to Da Nang airport - flight time a little more than 1.5 hours.

I rented an AirBnB for 12 days directly on the My Khe beach with an amazing unobstructed view of the beach, city, sea, and mountains from the 22nd floor balcony.  

On average, the daily temperature was 3 to 4 degrees cooler - mostly because the winds coming in from the South China Sea.

Enjoy.

Olddaddy - I escaped the water gun fights of Songkran to Vietnam and I had a great time.

I was in lovely Da Nang on the South China Sea for 12 days and it was great.

I used the local gay tour guide services of Lê anh - a cute fun guy (no sex - as I did not ask as I made separate arrangements for that as my Heesay app |formerly BLUED| was always FULL with meet requests).

I asked him this morning if I can share his contact details here and he said yes.

Enjoy Da Nang as I found the prices to be 20% less than in Pattaya due to the poor performing Vietnamese currency (VND Dong).

I loved the Oral Academy, as the guys were very well endowered and quite a mouthful!

yes I agree 100% - there was one Oral Academy guy that I wanted to off and take home at all costs.

I asked the owner to please help me make it happen.  So, when the model finished his work I sat with him at the front part of the bar - near where the entrance is.  He did not speak any English but the "woman" next to him did.  So, I had to tell the woman all the details about what I wanted from him.  She replied to me - Excuse me, but I am his wife - I send him here so that all of you can look at him - he is my baby - and he will only do what I tell him.  She said, if you want him then you need to off the both of us - as a husband and wife team.  I declined the offer as I wanted him ALL for myself.

In my 9 years of working and living in Budapest - this type of above situation manifested itself more than one time.  Many of the wives were punting out their husbands to bring in more income (bacon).  I always found it amazing that the wives were never jealous.  I became VERY close with one of these types of straight guys and I actually got to know the wife who liked me because she did not see me as a threat to their relationship.  I saw her husband for 4 years - but in year 3.5, he betrayed her and used my name as his alibi.  One night she called me frantically at home looking for her husband (he told her that he was with me giving me a massage) and instead he was out with another woman.  I was so angry at him for using me as an alibi and not even telling me about it.

One of my favourite bars in Europe, Action Bar, has long closed - that was the Budapest highlight that I miss. It had live sex shows, interactive "oral academy" on Friday nights with bar patrons sucking off performers on the bar floor, and plenty of rentable guys. That's long gone, and nothing has emerged instead. Men's days at Rudas baths used to be a riot in the 2000s, but they are very very very tame now. 

Yes - Budapest's hey day was when the Action Bar was in its FULL glory.  I lived in Budapest for many years and I went to the Action Bar almost every weekend.  In addition to what you write above, on Thursday nights they had "Meet your Escort" night where you could meet many of the escorts that  you would see in Hunqz or others who did not advertise.  It was fun to meet them outside of the bedroom.

 

Ironically, the former owner of the Action Bar is here as a retiree in Pattaya.

While I love low season, the Complex has lost 2 bars in the last 2 weeks (Lambada and BC Bar). It's likely they won't be the last to shut up shop. There simply isn't enough expats and/or tourists to support 30+ bars in the complex. 

I was in the Complex the other night and I noticed that DoubleShot was also closed.

Is it temporary or permanent?

As I've gotten older I find that I no longer seek out guys with glorious bodies or prettiest faces. Perfectly willing to settle for attractive young men who offer affection and intimacy sans the attitude games. Nevertheless fully appreciate why others do flock to Jupiter.

I say amen to what you wrote above.

That is why I chose to retire in Asia and not Europe or the USA - where the attitude games are a daily ongoing frustration.

[Taking off shoes before entering a house]

quick funny story to add to the flavor of this post

back in 2011 when I moved back to Rome from Budapest I was in a new apartment and I was waiting for the Telecom technician to install my wifi box and setup my internet in my new apartment.  He was sexy.

When he finished his work, he said to me get your laptop so that we can test the performance of your new internet.

I opened my laptop and then my Chrome browser and what pops up - the web page for CircolodelleSeghe - https://clubdelleseghe.forumcommunity.net/

Oh my God, the Italian jerk off club was in full view in front of the Telecom technician.

I turned apple red and said excuse me so that I can test another web page.

His reply astonished me - "Don't change the web page - I like to jerk off with other guys......"

Next thing I know we are jerking off together - his cock in my hand and his hand on my cock.....

Reminds me - we never did complete the internet speed test....

but he did a good job as everything was fast - hahahahahaha

I tried to contact him again for more fun but he told me - "I am straight and married with kids....."

I said - so what - all straight guys need to jerk off from time to time  :>))

From Pattaya News

Pattaya City has invested 30 million baht in buying six new toilet trucks to accommodate tourists, elderly, and disabled people, especially during events.

Mr. Manoch Nongyai, the Deputy Mayor of Pattaya, proudly announced the initiative on April 25th, 2024, after the city received three out of the six new vehicles.

He stated that these new vehicles will be added to the existing 3-vehicle fleet. Previously, Pattaya relied on just three older mobile toilet trucks, with some having been in service for many decades. The bulky size of the old vehicles made it difficult to park them in areas with limited space. The growing number of tourists, particularly during major events, further necessitated the need for expanded restroom facilities, Mr. Manoch added.

The newly acquired mobile toilets feature a compact design, making them suitable for navigating tight spaces. Two of the six vehicles come with units specifically dedicated to elderly or people with disabilities as they are equipped with hydraulic lifts. They also offer over six restrooms for both genders.

Meanwhile, the other four toilet trucks come with standard units with two restrooms each for men and women. The city has invested over 30 million baht into the project, Mr. Manoch stated.

For now, the city will deploy the three trucks they received at Walking Street, the area near the Pattaya City water pump station, and Central Beach when events are not taking place.

Deputy Mayor Manoch is confident that the city will receive the remaining three toilet trucks in May of 2024. He expected that the initiative will significantly improve restroom accessibility for tourists and residents in Jomtien and Pattaya beaches.

========================

From Pattaya Mail

Pattaya launches electric baht-buses

As part of the project’s strategy to curb carbon emissions, the electric pickup trucks will undergo trial service as fixed-route public transportation vehicles from April 2024 to December 2025. Operating along the “Route 4,” these twelve electric vehicles will shuttle passengers from the Bali Hai Pier Parking Lot in South Pattaya to the Bang Lamung District Office.

 

 

Wow - I am now living here for 18 months and I was not aware that there are several Pattaya baht bus routes.  Above is mentioned, "Operating along the Route 4..."

So, I queried Google and sure enough there are many routes - here is the source article: https://www.pattayaunlimited.com/getting-around-pattaya/

with a link to a custom Google map, image below:

Prior to reading this article I was only aware of the Jomtien & Pattaya route and the Beach Road & 2nd Road Loop routes.

The above map implies that there are in fact 8 routes = wow....

Everyday we learn a new thing....

This is great information @bkkmfj2648.

To further add to the above, the only place in Vietnam I've been to is Phu Quoc, and similar to Da Nang, the massage boys will make themselves known on the apps (I used Grindr), whether they are from a shop or freelance (although there is not a lot of choice there, and the grid even reaches to nearby Cambodia). One guy that approached me sent me a price list, from memory I think it was 300k VND if I came to his shop, or he said he could come to me and I can pay what I like. He ended up coming to my hotel and we had quite a good time. When I converted 300k VND to my home currency, it was incredibly cheap so I just gave him double. 

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....

May I ask where you found your masseurs? And do you know anything about the massage spas in Da Nang?

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.
