I've received random blackmail emails of this kind on several occasions.
I'd have been more worried by them if I actually possessed a webcam...

No. Some of us just skip those posts.
You only write it once, but you hope many people will (try to) read it, or why bother?  So make it easy for them.

I was there with our former contributor on Thursday last week
not only market is fun but also getting there by train as it requires  changing trains after crossing the canal in ferry. Certainly worthy detour from Bangkok and very cheap at that , two train rides at 10 Baht and ferry crossing at 3 baht each way for a grand total of 46 baht.
Pictures below are mine. In my opinion it's more fun of actually being on the train while rolling through the market. Last pics is train already at the
station after rolling through

How do you write something so normal and other times you're so batshit crazy.....or did OpenAI write this one 😄

Don't you realise how childish it looks? And how difficult to read? This may be how you write to friends but posters on this boards are used to a form of English they mostly comprehend. Having to try and work out what another poster is trying to say negates the point of the posts! It's merely an affectation that perhaps is supposed to look trendy. Sorry to day: it doesn't! 

That strikes me as asking for trouble. You're buying her as a commodity, in order to show him that he's something more than a commodity?  Think about the social dynamics in terms of Thai culture. Who gains or loses face, remembering that face is not a zero-sum game?  And it's a three-way (at least) transaction, so even more complicated.

I dont know why, but when it comes to footprints in Thailand I am always a bit sceptical ...

This is the first time I have heard of ChatGPT! And the description above is too long for me to bother reading it, sorry. I seem to have managed OK without it!
As for the subject of the thread and the two versions of the article @TotallyOz posted, mostly they are rubbish! Neither really provides anything like a true picture of the Bangkok gay scene. There are inaccuracies (@reader has already pointed out the fact that DJ Station is in Soi 2 and not Soi 4), to suggest that the Bangkok Gay Pride Parade "attracts thousands of participants from all around the world" is utter nonsense! The only Asian Pride Parade that does actually attract thousands of active participants is in Taipei. Additionally the trendy and upscale clubs are in Thonglor, not the other way around in Silom Soi 4. What's an "inclusive hotel"? As for restaurants, I always thought Siam2nite is a website and not an eatery. Perhaps I am wrong. Also as a 20 year resident I have never heard of David's Kitchen. Isn't it in Chiang Mai? There are vastly more gay friendly eateries, at least some of which should be listed (even including @vinapu's favourite, the 7-Michelin starred Foodland 🤣). As for museums and galleries, is there in fact even one that regularly showcases LGBT exhibitions? Not that I know of!
Apart from the inaccuracies, both articles are far too full of almost meaningless generalities when what is needed in such an article is detail, detail. detail! Nothing about specific bars, gogo bars, massage spas etc. I get the impression this was actually written 30 or more years ago and appeared in publications like Spartacus (although the Pride Parade did not actually start until the late 1990s)!

igPay atinLay is where you move the first letter to the end of the (English; translation not required) word and add "ay", or similar.
(Polite request to all: please don't ! 🤫. I think we've quite enough thread drift, from Phuket massage to members' vowel habits.)

"Daddy" can also refer to someone in a particular kind of relationship, which might be inappropriate.
