Which Foodland  was that ? Patpong or Silom one?
If Patpong I will contact UNESCO to suspend their world heritage designation till I make personal inspection there.
The same with Michelin, at least 1.5 stars from their 7.5 should be taken away immediately.
You absolutely right , cashews should be  cooked with the dish , not served as also run.
Only explanation I'd accept was that the cook is in love, that was what we used to say where I grew up when served under- or overcooked meal.
I'm shocked to the bone !!!!  and want to scream murder . 
But as always , give them another chance or go to G'Bangkok or Happy Beer Garden and try theirs

Email I received -
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email, Regarding to the Hotel’s Visitor Policy;
- In case the customer accompany with the visitor to hotel the hotel will not charge any visitor chagre.
- But in case the customer call the visitor come to hotel alone and ask hotel's staff open main door, we have to charge 900THB,

They have changed the reception lay out (so I am told). The reception is what was in the cafe at the front. The entrance to the lifts is towed the back and had separate key card entry. 
When I wrote to them I was told that as long as they didn't have to open the door then visitors were ok. If they had to let people in you had to pay. I will see if I can find the email and post it here. 

I stayed at the Siam Heritage in an Executive Room last May. I really liked it. Also close to Patpong. I confirmed with hotel before going that visitors are ok. 

That's very good news indeed. I ordered myself to try them next time

I really liked the rooms. I was in the FuramaXclusive before in one of the rooms that @vinapu described - pretty much an apartment. Siam Heritage rooms not nearly that size but very appointed and I really enjoyed it there. Would definitely stay there again. I stayed at the Raya before and liked that as well but would chose Siam over it. Probably cheaper as well as Raya seems very expensive recently.

All the boys use BOLT now. Sunee to Jomtien Complex is about 38 baht. Sometimes 45 during peak times. I did it for only 31 baht once. (although I suggest rounding it up to the nearest note) 100 baht transport is adequate at the moment. You can get from Jomtien Complex to Boyztown for under 50 baht.  

I don't see problem with that,better you add 100 Bht to the agreed fee for transport to the boy.

Some of the boys even live in Jomtien so that will not be a problem.
Drinks are quite reasonable at about 100 Baht/drink although wine is about 140 B.

I asked about their joiner policy and had this back from the The Siam Heritage Hotel. I remember reading that there was some uncertainty if this hotel allowed joiners -

Tell him to open just the side door.

I was there a few weeks ago. If you like the beach, there's a nice one there. I don't think there's much of a "scene". I believe there is one gay bar, but I did not visit it. There are a couple of nice night markets/food venues - Cicada market is more arts and crafts, but there's a place next door that has tons of food options from Thai delicacies to Western options. I had Korean chicken that was very tasty and some gelato that was also very good. My friend had a papaya salad that he enjoyed.
 

Those words also speak to the character and not just age. Yes, the sentence does talk about age, but not necessarily just "younger than their actual age". 
The last guy I met on that trip looked 23 and was closer to 40.

I was just telling the two lads in my bed last night that this forum isn't only about sex. They said, "shut up and take it like a man." I complied.
jk
This site is about anything of interest to people traveling to Thailand. I like gays more than anyone so it is geared toward that. I do like sex but the site is not only about sex and not only about gays. Lots of topics are welcome.
 

Surely that comment is in the wrong forum. The title of this one includes "Post information here on events, places, activities, questions". There have been dozens of threads here dealing with items of interest to gay readers without relating specifically to outright sex.

From World Beach Guide

Thailand is well known for its beautiful beaches and to some extent this has meant that many of the most amazing beaches are now over-crowded and heavily commercialised. However, you don’t have to go to far off the beaten track to still find a pristine gem and the island of Koh Kradan is home to just such a beach.This stunning stretch of powdery white sand remain a relative haven despite being only a few kilometres off the mainland.
Ko Kradan is one of the Trang Islands, a group of around 40 large and small islands which form a major part of the Hat Chao Mai national park. Of all these islands and islets Koh Kradan is perhaps the most beautiful and largely unspoilt. Despite only being a couple of hours south of Phuket and even closer to Koh Phi Phi, Koh Kradan is a world apart, sharing all the natural beauty but without the crowds and noise.
The waters of the Andaman Sea which surround the island are relatively sheltered and shallow, which means they are always warm i.e. ideal for swimming. On top of that they are crystal clear making for some excellent snorkelling in the protected waters. One thing to note though is the water is very shallow here at low tide and you’ll have to paddle quite a way before it’s deep enough to swim properly.
For those feeling particularly energetic there is a popular kayak route around the island which can be completed in less than 3 hours, even at a leisurely pace.
For those looking to just relax and soak up the sun and calm Koh Kradan is perfect. There are numerous hammocks suspended between the palm trees that fringe the beach.
The main beach at Koh Kradan is the aptly named east facing Paradise beach. However there is another, equally appropriately named, beach on the other coast. Easily reachable by a short trail through the forest is Sunset beach where you can enjoy a peaceful view of the sun setting over the Andaman Sea.
Getting to Ko Kradan involves taking one of the ubiquitous long-tailed boats and these are available from several locations on the mainland or many of the other islands. If you are planning on staying on the island there are several small resorts ranging from the upmarket but basic “flash-packer” style accommodation up to luxury beach bungalows.

My week in Chiang Mai was great. Lots of great food. There definitely seemed to be more non-Asian tourists in Chiang Mai than in Bangkok. 
I stayed in an AirBnB which was great. Lots of space, decent Wifi, balcony, washing machine, kitchen etc, and for very little money for the week. 
I spent most of my time with a boy I met a couple of years ago and with whom I have been in touch with ever since. He is a university student and his English is very good. I met him on Grindr (not a money boy). We spent most days with him coming over to my apartment, going for lunch and then off to an art gallery or other local attraction. It was a very chilled out few days. On Thursday, he had to go home to BKK to see his mum and sister.
I had a couple of days to myself so checked out Grindr to see what was about. I hooked up with a few guys over the next three days. There are plenty of guys on the app so didn't have to try to hard to find someone. Lots of massage boys on Grindr in Chiang Mai and the prices are about 50% cheaper than in BKK. One money boy got in touch with an initial price of 2000 thb but i wasn't really interested. He kept trying though and was down to 700 by the time he got the message and looked elsewhere. 
I didn't really check out the gay scene in Chiang Mai. I did go to Orion Bar which had a cabaret show on at about 9pm? It was empty when i sat down for a drink at 8pm ish but by the time of the show it had filled up quite a bit and there was a bit of a crowd. 
I like Chiang Mai it is an easy place to hang out and relax. And there are some signs of life returning. Venues appear to be filling up again. There was excellent Thai restaurant near my apartment. They do a Burmese style curry which is one of the best things i have ever eaten. Having been there twice already, I thought I would treat myself on my last night and go again. I turned up to find a queue to get! It was way too hot for me to stand around so found another venue. This is the place if you are interested - https://www.facebook.com/TongTemToh/ It is right next door to an Italian restaurant called Why Not? It is also excellent - http://whynotchiangmai.com/
Back to BKK for one night and stayed at The Raya. What a fantastic little hotel. Very good value, large room and you can't beat the location. 
I caught up with a forum member for drinks in Soi 4. It does seem to be a little more lively than it was when i was there a week before. Maybe the impact of a few more tourists and Songkran in a couple of days? My drinking partner let me depart early as I had important "errands" to attend to. 
I managed to hook up with the birthday boy I mentioned in an earlier post. We had planned to meet straight after his work at 6pm but he then had to take overtime at work and was not able to meet until later. Sadly, that meant that our hook up was much curtailed in terms of time together. Still, he was as excellent as the first time we met. 
My flight back is not until late tonight but it has been a low key day. It is blisteringly hot today and I feel complete; I don't feel the need to be doing much more. Checkout at The Raya is 12pm but you can have a later checkout time at the cost of 100 thb per hour, which feels like excellent value to me. It means I can hang out here and take sanctuary in the air conditioning! 
I have just ventured out to the @vinapucommended, 5* dining experience, and now back in the room. I have Grindr on and a few messages coming in but I think I am done now, I have had my fill. 
Some reflections on a couple of weeks back in Thailand: 
Print all of the documentation out. I can't imagine trying to manage it all off the phone. On the way out my papers were checked 5 times and not all the same combination of documentation.  The testing is a nightmare and a waste of time and without a doubt killing tourism. I bought a phone sim at the airport - dtac have a shop by baggage reclaim. It turns out the deal i got was better than i thought it was and no more expensive than buying from a 7-11. I know this because I thought i had only got a 2gb data limit. It turns out it was Unlimited data. My phone had an odd setting which made it appear to be limited to 2gb. When i went to a dtac shop to increase my data she couldn't really understand what/ why I was asking. It was only then i realised my (good) mistake.  It was a good job i did get the sim card at the airport, as my first trip outside of my room after Day 1 PCR test confinement, I got locked in a stairwell! Luckily, I was able to phone reception and they sent someone to let me out!  Like everywhere else, Covid has hit businesses. That compounded with only a trickle of tourism, many shops, bars, restaurants have closed and show little to no sign of returning anytime soon. Many of the tourist dependent shops have gone - the night bizarre in Chiang Mai is half the size I remember it being and many places even though they say are open in Google have just disappeared.  Grindr worked really well for me. Lots of local guys not trade to hook up with. Yes, there are money boys and massage guys on there as well and very easy to find, but plenty of local guys just looking for fun as well.  I learnt on a number of occasions to go with the flow. Two local guys I nearly ignored turned out to be two of the best hook ups ever. This is my second time in Thailand and I know that I will be coming back. My first visit, two years ago just before Covid, was spoilt a bit by a heavy cold that I came down with the day before I flew out. It really hit my first week in BKK. This time, once the testing had been successfully navigated, I was able to have a much fuller experience. Yes, there are some restrictions and things not open, but there is still plenty of things that are still standing to enjoy. 
Hopefully, travel restrictions will ease over the next few months and people will start coming back. I am already planning my next trip out and have got my boss to agree to let me work UK hours in Thailand, if possible for a month. I can think of no better escape from the UK winter!
 

while I agree with you I wanted to be more inclusive with twink admirers included.
On the merit , I still place Moonlight before Jupiter, specially after meeting Y , my last night last trip discovery
