I visited Siem Reap for two days at the beginning of Nov., and stayed at MENs hotel. Instead of elaborating on this excellent stay, I refer you to the detailed description of the hotle at http://www.gaytingtong.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=179&start=25#p46678 (scroll down to a post by funtop on Sep 14). Unlike funtop, I had no luck with the gay friendly (and rentboys pick-up place) Linga Bar. Went there twice after 10 pm in midweek, but no boys there. On the othere hand, had two great massage+ at MENs. They charge $18 for a 60 minutes oil massage (the only kind on the menu). As funtops post mentions, the hotel doesnt dabble in explicit sex and apparently discourages hanky-panky with the staff. Nevertheless… The first massage by Channa was simply excellant, but the most extraordinary thing about it was that the happy part was a middle rather than an ending. After turning over, he started with the feet working north, without being asked (or even hinted at) he massaged my member to relief, and then continued slowly northward. It was more than a HJ, and melded into the massage in a very erotic and soothing manner. Being used to a disconnected HJ at the end, it was quite an arousing revelation. The second one was by Channy, who turned out to be Chunnas brother. Massage-wise he somehow managed to exceed his brothers excellant treatment, including a nipple massage/play Ive never had in my life! Unfortunately he doesnt include a release in his treatment, but my hightened stimulation overcame my manners and I asked for and received - a happy ending. BTW, theres a post in one of the forums mentioning Bodia Massage. I took a peek, but the minimum price was $24. It didnt look as if Id get there more than a HJ, so I opted to stay loyal to the proven and cheaper treatment at MENs.

Thanks Oz, as always. I guess you could understand from the tone of my question, that I was surprised by the public yanking and shocked by the non-tipping. You wrote that you've seen that in many places; unlike you I have very limited experience only in Barcelona and Bangkok, where I've never seen that. I guess the boys tolerate/encourage public yanking as 'promotions', and I must admit I find the idea 'voyeristically' hot. However, I'm too timid to do it myself. If I ever do try under appropriate circumstances, I'll tip handsomely or feel very cheap.

Hi Oz, You wrote a fortnight ago: "Also, if you are going to make out with a boy and yank on his dick for an hour, tip him. He is working. Don't be a dick!" Assuming that people tip after a cabin-session (thus there's no need for you to mention that), am I to understand that you can sit with a boy at the bar or somewhere, making out with him and yanking his dick BEFORE / WITHOUT proceeding to a cabin session? This is what I understand from your post; and if guys do that and DON'T tip, they are much worse than "dicks"!!! BTW, if there's making-out and dick-yanking going on in public, is there anything to stop anyone from "going all the way"? Thanks.

...with all the various sexy places in Bangkok?

Thanks Oz for the recommendation, but could you please elaborate a bit: prices; what's there to do between sessions; opening hours (is it true it opens 'only' after 3 pm); men masseurs (not just twinks); etc.

I want to visit/see something worthwhile that's not at the top of the tourism list (which I've already exhausted); and then spend time at a comfortable, clean and sexy place to be pampered by motivated guys (preferably not twinks).

Hi guys, On a Tuesday in mid-November I'll have a 13 hours connect (11:00-24:00) in Bangkok. I've already been there last year for a couple of days, seen the regular tourist sites, stayed at the Tarntawan in Silom and explored that small street full of gay venues nearby (don't remember the name). If possible, this time I'd like to see (site/s) and experience (gay venues) something new. Before returning at 21:00 to the airport, I'll want to end up at a place with a decent bath. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Are the places at Sukhumvit different from Silom? mid-day venues...evening ones... Thanks

If you're not to be trusted about Brazil, then who is? Unfortunately, I'll be there in mid-week. Thanks again Tomcal.

Thanks for the detailed instructions; I somehow missed that specific link. Netgay's English version reverts to Portugese when navigating away from the homepage. If "com boys" means with, and "sem boys" means without, most of the saunas - including 520 - are without. Could it really be that so many horny tourists in Brazil never venture beyond Rio and SP...

Thanks Tomcal. Please elaborate about the two in Curitiba and Salvador: info, recommendations, etc.

Hi Guys, I went through scores of threads and tried the search function, but to no avail. I'd appreciate very much recommendations/info regarding retboys' saunas/venues in Curitiba, Brasilia, Natal, and Salvador. I'll also visit Iguazu, but I guess that's asking for too much... Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, I'd appreciate any recommendations about escorts and/or venues in Athens, and if possible also in Santorini / Thira. Thanks

Hi, I'll be visiting these two countries in November, and would very much appreciate any info and recommendations about venues for action in: 1) Siem Reap: in general, and specifically reagrding MEN's hotel and Linga Bar/Spa. 2) Luang Prabang: in general, and specifically regarding Khob Chai Bar. 3) Vientiane. Thanks.

Someone wrote that in the forum. Why is it "infamous"? Where is it located? when's a good time to visit? Any special going-ons? Details please. Thanks.

Hi guys, I'm looking for updated recommendations regarding saunas/bars with rentboys (NOT ladyboys), massage parlors which offer more than massage, and escorts (NOT ladyboys), in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and the beaches/islands in the south. 1) Which beaches/islands are best, gaywise? 2) Do you know rentboys who can also serve as tourist drivers/guides? Details would be highly appreciated. Thanks,

Tomcal, plese help me out. 1) I'll be in Rio for the February carnival, and I already know I'll be available for saunas only on Saturday and Sunday. Are all of them closed on Sundays, or just MM? 2) I think I'm going to stick to MM and 202, because I'm staying in a Copacabana hotel. Any other suggestions? 3) Are there enough garotos to chose from early on in the afternoon? 4) What's bingo boy night? Is that what I think it is (playing bingo for a boy)? Thanks

A question of simple curiosity: Why do they charge only R$150 for such a long overnight? Can't they do more than three R$50 sessions in a 15 hours period?

I'm very disappointed, but thanks Tomcal. I read somewhere that H20 does have rentboys...

Hi Guys, I'm headed to the capital of the Amazons. I'd be grateful for recommendations regarding saunas, escorts, sex clubs, etc., in Manaus. Thanks.

I'm off to Barcelona next week. Any recomendations regarding escorts beyond AmericanBoys and Therma Sauna? Thanks.
