Please! Bonuses are paid for superior work. If everything you do leads to your company either going bankrupt or accepting hand outs then you don't get paid a bonus. Too bad the people who work for AIG have seen their stock become worthless. There are thousands of others without a paycheck who invested in AIG and lost everything because of the incompetence by the same people who want Million dollar bonuses. GET REAL!!!!

KY Let me add my wishes for a speedy recovery Don't worry about OZ, Devint and I are taking good care of him(lol) Pattaya is completely normal and Bangkok is same except for airport closure and some increased traffic during demonstrations. Boy bars are open and operating normally but business is slow and some boys are heading home Hopefullwhen this ends the people who love Thailand and their people will return and support them

I only wish I wrote the response from Tampa. Amazing the number of smart people who have no idea the damage that idiot Bush and Cheney have done to this country. If Mickey Mouse was running against McCain, I would vote for Mickey. The man is a right wing conservative who agrees with 95% of everything done in the last 8 years by Bush. Just because he supported the surge , they would like us to forget that he was Gung Ho behind us going to Iraq. He was with all the Neo Cons about being welcomed with roses and them paying for the war with their Oil etc etc etc. His judgement was completely wrong and if Saddam was still in power we would have the counter balance to Iran that we need. And please don't anybody give me the baloney about Saddam being a terrible person and killing his own people. We don't care about that ,if we did we would stop the killing in Africa where more people get killed in a month then Saddam killed in years. And how can anyone say it makes no difference on about the Supreme Court. The Democrats will have complete control of the Senate after tis election and a Democratic President will get who he wants on the Supreme Court. I watch the business channel frequently and am amazed at how they also don't want to look at History either. They would prefer a Republican. How hard is it for these idiots to check the stock market figures. Under idiot Bush for the last 8 years the stock market is up a total of 5%. Savings accounts pay more then that. Under Clinton the market was up 300% Under Old man Bush for 4 years the market was up 50%. Takes areal brain surgeon to figure who we are better off with????

Oz, Having just spent 3 weeks with you in Thailand I am sure of one thing. Your heart will continue to be big enough for many boys all over the world and the boys who get a piece of it are the lucky ones. You may have lost a lot of weight but your heart is as big as always and watching the way you treat the boys whether Thailand,Brazil or Canada is a real learning experience. Have fun in Brazil and hope to see you soon in LOS again

Ignorance is Bliss I wonder if Kelley Clarkson Carrie Underwood Chris Daughtry who have all sold in excess of 5 million records and many others who have sold millions are any less the successful artist because they dont measure up to John Lennon. I wonder if Jennifer Hudson with all her Grammys and Oscar Nominations is any less a success because she doesnt write her own music. I think not They are all fabulously successful because of American Idol Putting down the talent on Idol because it doesnt measure up to John Lennon is patently ridiculous Few do

I was not commenting on your taste in men but rather your inability to recognize talent David will be a superstar someday!!!!

I agree completely

And we weren't even near 34th St. For you young guys that was a great Xmas movie "Miracle on 34th St" Merry Xmas OZ

After 9 months of no meetings Kevin6669 and I finally met up with Totally OZ tonight We met outside the train station and we almost didn't recognize him The New OZ is almost 100 lbs lighter and he is so svelte that his accomplishment should be an inspiration to all of us carrying too much weight They say fat people are more jovial, fun etc Well OZ has not changed a bit in that respect. He is still so much fun to be around and tell stories with. He is a good friend and I'm not saying that because he bought dinner(hehe) So all of you who haven't seen him in the last 9 months make sure you look hard or you might miss him.

Don't worry about being drummed out of the Club. It won't be long and you'll be back in the Land of Smiles. And of course all your Twinks will be there to properly return you to the #1 Twink Club in the World

Hurry up and get Rio out of the way. Then you can meet Dev and I in your real home of Thailand. Lot of new shopping centers for all those new clothes you need to buy.

B&N Massage on Sukhumvit is usually good . Arena Massage in Silom Plaza on SilomRd is good. Bottom line is how you feel about the massage parlor is based on the Boy you choose. Suggest you read www.dreadedned.com Restaurants I find change too much , I would not be comfortable reccommending any particular one. For something light however Dicks Cafe on the Main Boy Bar street in BKK is excellent. In Bkk make sure you see Jim Thompson House and of course the Palace and the Floating Market. Tartawan will have many suggestions I am sure. Antiques and jewelry, OZ is the person to ask.

I would go to Pattaya first because there it will be just relax and sex. Nothing else to do really except if you like Tigers I would go to the Tiger Zoo. For a few nights the Ambiance should be fine. Since I gather this is your first trip to BKK then the Tartawan is very gay friendly and is near most of the Bars. The downside is BKK is a very hot and hectic city and I find there are some days I just want to rest at a nice pool and unwind. The Tartawan has none. Just my bias and maybe not important to you. I found after the first trip I enjoyed getting a fairly large 1 bedroom apartment with beautiful swimming pool etc. I'm not familiar with current Tartawan prices but probably comparable to the 1 bedroom apartments I am talking about. You will need to use taxis more but they are very cheap and you will see more of BKK. Anyways I'm sure you will be happy with your choices.

Oh You will find versatile guys . I'm just saying , make sure they understand what you want and that you will send them away if they dont do what they say they will. Also many will not say what they will do in front of their friends. In some ways BKK can be very relaxing because of the massage parlors. The ones in Pattaya do not compare. If you are a beach person then the daytime can be quite fun but you are not likely to find much in the way of muscle boys at the beach. The bottom line is you will like which ever one better based on the boys you find. Of course BKK has much more to do in terms of sightseeing and shopping. If the escort you have is young and goodlooking boys will be offering all sorts of things(at least the gay ones) Not sure I agree with your Hotel choices. They are a good choice for a first time visitor but you might find them a little cramped for 3 ways and more(just a thought)

Don't quite understand why you are making 2 trips to Pattaya. With traffic, it can still be a wasted 2 1/2 hour ride each way. I would end the trip in BKK so that you have a short ride to airport when you leave. The trip home is long enough. The Hotels you have choosen will be no problem bringing an orgy to your room as long as they have ID. In BKK Tawan definitely has many body builders but depending on whether there is a competition in the near future, many can look pretty soft. You will find many other stars at other bars in BKK In Pattaya the search may be a little harder although the new Crystal Boys has some nice men. Don't know if you like Tops or Bottoms but Bottom Body Builders will be very hard to find no matter what they say prior to leaving with you. Feel free to fire off any other questions. I'm sure between OZ ,myself and KY Top, we can give yo the answers. firecat

I think I can come up with a few more then 6, just a few more(hehe).

Well I can't speak to people sticking around for longer in NYC but I'm sure you are right that it has become a wasteland for Twinks. Probably one of the reasons among others that kevin6669 is completely booked 4 weeks before his trip . But you should know from your last trip to Montreal it is no better here. Unless you want to spend months at Unity with at best very mixed results in the actual sex department. Just make your reservations for Thailand where there are 1000's of Twinks waiting for your return. firecat69

No doubt in my mind, you are making a mistake going to Pattaya for only one day. Once u get there you will be sad you left your luggage in Bangkok. Start off in BKK for 3 nights then leave for Pattaya. Check in somewhere for 3 nights. If you leave early . no problem and if u decide to stay longer then you'll have your stuff with you and go right to airport. For what you want there is no comaprison between the 2 places. BKK is great for sightseeing, shopping etc.. Pattaya is for boys. Prices for drinks and off fees are better and many more sweet boys. Its commercial in both places but it just seems nicer in Pattaya. Bangkok has its charms and I always end up spending my last four days there but Pattaya has the cutest boys at the best prices and with the least attitude.

Barry is right . The age of consent for sex workers is 18. Since this will be your first trip. I would reccomend the Tartawan Hotel. It is a extremely gay friendly hotel and prices are moderate. It would not be my first choice because it does not have a pool. The big advantage for a first timer is that they will collect the id's of any guests and make sure they are 18. They will hold the ID and then call your room before returning it to your guest. Believe me you will find many twinky Thai boys who look like they are 16 and turn out to be 22-23. But because of this you can get trapped into thinking you can judge their age and then you end up with a kid who is 16. Believe me it is not worth the risk however small of being caught with an undergae boy in your room. The prisons in Thailand are worse then any of us can imagine. The Hotel also serves breakfast all day so if you awaken late, you still get your free breakfast. It is within 10 minutes walking of most of the gay bars. The disadvantage to Bangkok is that everything is much more expensive then say pattaya. Drinks are 200-250 baht and at most places the boys will expect 1500 baht for short time and at least 2000 baht for all night I would reccomend you try Solid Bar which is just around the corner from Tartawan and the drinks are 100-150 baht and the boys will be happy with 1000 baht for short time.All the boys in there will be of the twinky type and most will be gay instead of gay for pay. There are at least 25 other bars within 10 minute walk and I suggest you look at www.dreadedned.com for a map and descriptions of some of the bars. Since you say you are not interested in many tourist things , I see no reason for you to go to Chiang Mai. It is a great city but it is because of the Temples , craftsmen etc . The gay scene is small and although I highly reccomend going there at some point, I'm not sure on a 7-10 day trip this is a good use of your time. The time going to and from the airport and flights etc will severly cut into your fun time. You would spend less time taking a Limo to Pattaya. In so far as boys available Pattaya has many more bars then bangkok and definitely more of the twinky type. The prices are also considerably less. Drinks in most bars are 100-120 baht and most boys are happy with 1000 baht short time. Many 3 star hotels are available and again dreadedned is a good site along with www.pattayagay.com to look for hotels The Limo ride is about 2 hours and I guarantee you will find far more boys there then in Chiang Mai. You say you don't like the beach but the Gay Beach in Pattaya is an experience and many boys are available there and the atmosphere can be quite fun even if you only go for one day. Others here I'm sure will have many ideas for you and if you still have your heart set on Chiang Mai then this site is a good source for info there and the other cities of Thailand.

Need more info from you before a good answer can be provided. How long is your trip. Do you know what cities you want to see. What kind ofplaces do you normally stay in from 2 stars to 5 stars. Etc etc etc.

Hi KY, I have talked to many people in Thiland and see no reason for you to change your plans for Xmas. Things are completely normal in the tourist areas and once the King speaks any unrest will end. I leave in 19 days for Thailand and i am not the least bit worried. of course i will montor current events and continue to converse with people, in case there are any changes. Xmas in Thailand the only place to be. Plus just imagine all the sad faces of those boys who brighten up when they hear you are coming!!!! Firecat

Oz, Not the first time this has happend to you and also is something that you have counseled others on. In your heart you know the answers. Life is short as jackhammer says and anything that brings happiness into your life should embraced and enjoyed. There are always problems but the smile on your face that someone brings is always worth the bumps that inevitably come with the relationship. Whether you take him with you to Thailand or just spend more time in Brazil , it will be worth it. The language problem can be overcome and only one of you has to be willing to meet the challenge in order to improve the communication. As you have said you know many relationships that started out as paid encounters that have flourished for various periods of time. Maybe most eventually come to an end but so do most marriages. Life would not be very interesting if everyone stopped pursuing the ultimate love affair. But you will need a bigger condo in Thailand , so this time please get something with a guest cottage for your friends. Have fun and enjoy as I know you will!!!!

I'm glad to see you are letting Danilo pick the restaurants. Both Devint and I know how poorly you do when you pick where to go to eat. Although to be honest the last one you choose in Rio was a winner. But your batting average of .125 does not get you into the big leagues.

Just go to www.sublet.com. Rent from private owner. Some there even good enough for your refined taste(hehe)
