[Eight Days in Seoul]

Arrival in Seoul: A Historical Introduction
I touched down in Seoul, eager to dive into its rich tapestry of history and culture. My first stop was the majestic Gyeongbokgung Palace. Built in 1395 during the Joseon Dynasty, this grand palace was the main royal residence, a fact that Jinwoo, a local I met on Grindr, shared enthusiastically as we toured its sprawling grounds. Finding someone on Grindr was easy and the night before, just logging in, I had multiple messages. He was sexy, cute and around 30.  Afterward, we wandered through Bukchon Hanok Village, admiring the perfectly preserved traditional Korean houses. These hanoks date back to the Joseon period, giving a living history lesson on the architectural style and urban planning of old Korea.

Exploring Royal Legacies: Changdeokgung and Insadong
With Jinwoo as my guide, I spent the next day at Changdeokgung Palace, another estate known for its beautifully landscaped gardens and as a favored residence of many Joseon princes. Its Huwon (Secret Garden) is a masterpiece of Korean garden design and a recognized UNESCO World Heritage site, which was designed to work in harmony with the natural terrain. Later, we strolled through Insadong, a district famous for its art galleries housed in traditional-style buildings, antique shops, and tea houses. Each shop offered a piece of Korea’s artistic heritage, from delicate ceramics to intricate metalwork.

Modern Vibrancy and Historical Views: Myeongdong and Namsan Seoul Tower
Venturing out alone, I immersed myself in the bustling streets of Myeongdong, a stark contrast to the historical sites. This shopping haven presented an array of modern Korean fashion and beauty products alongside traditional street food vendors. That evening, Jinwoo and I reunited to visit the Namsan Seoul Tower, located on Namsan Mountain. It closes at 11 but we got there MUCH earlier to see the beautiful lights. The tower offered panoramic views of Seoul, beautifully lit against the night sky.

Relaxation and Romance by the River: Hangang Park with Hyun-sik
Midweek, I met Hyun-sik, another engaging Grindr sexy hunk who introduced himself with a passion for Seoul’s green spaces. Together, we explored Hangang Park, a vital recreational space for Seoulites developed during the massive urban planning initiatives of the late 20th century. He wanted to bicycle the river area but I said I was too old for that shit and passed. That evening, Hyun-sik led me to the Banpo Bridge to witness its famous Rainbow Fountain show. The bridge, built in 1982, features over 10,000 LED nozzles that create a spectacular multicolored water display, beautifully illustrating Seoul's blend of technology and aesthetics.

A Day of Contrasts: Gangnam's Modernity and Bongeunsa Temple's Tranquility
Hyun-sik showed me around Gangnam, an area synonymous with modern affluence and dynamic culture. As we navigated through its high-end boutiques and tech hubs. We ended our day at Bongeunsa Temple, established in the 8th century during the Shilla Dynasty. This Buddhist sanctuary offered a peaceful retreat from the buzzing cityscape, with Hyun-sik highlighting its historical significance as a center of Zen Buddhism in Korea. But, he was Christian and driving from the airport, I will assume that there are MANY there as there were so many crosses and mega churches, I felt like I was back in Alabama but with a bunch of Asians.

Reflective Farewell: Itaewon and Last Supper
My final day in Seoul brought me to Itaewon, a district known for its diverse international community and vibrant nightlife. Hyun-sik and I indulged in a variety of global cuisines, reflecting on my journey through Seoul's past and present. We shared a heartfelt farewell dinner, promising to remain connected across the water.

I stayed at the Grand Walkerhill Seoul which also had a casino and many restaurants. I loved the tea house and the buffets there. But, things were so much more expensive than I remembered.

Seoul has gifted me with profound historical insights, contrasted beautifully by its modern vibrancy. The friendships I've formed here with Jinwoo and Hyun-sik not only enhanced my experiences but deepened my appreciation for this multifaceted city. I invited both boys to visit Bangkok and both said they would come, (we will see).

He was naked, he was hard. He was willing to get sucked and to fuck me. I had asked for something different. Nice lad as I said, but not what I asked for that day. I asked some someone good at oral. I think that mean for them, he was good at getting sucked. But, giving out nothing, did nothing for me and I tipped, said thank you, and ordered another boy.

How much did you pay for just the massage then? Did the boy at least remove his clothing? I've been getting spammed on LINE by Jay Spa and considered it.

The massage was minimum tip 1500 baht for an hour. He was naked and hard the entire time. Nice lad, just limited.

[Jey Spa - Gay Massage Bangkok]

Been there about 20 times and always a good time. The rooms are clean and the guys are good.

Today was first bad experience. Not bad in I didn't tip. But, the boy did nothing. Quick massage, no kissing, no oral, nothing. I could easily have gone to the lady spa in the mall and had a better massage.   But, that is life and you live and learn.

[A Quick 2 Bar Trip to BoyzTown April 6, 2024]

We first tried to see the BoyzBoyzBoyz show at 10:30 but all tables reserved except for the horrible ones to the side of stage. They said they had to hold the others so we left without a show or drinks.

Toy Boys was second stop and boy Tawan boy and I both found boys we liked and had them over for drinks. Mine was from Laos and cute and on a normal night, I would have taken him but I can to celebrate the beloved's BD so I let him pick someone. Needless to say it was a fem boy.    But, very sweet and good English. We brought him back to the hotel and the BF had about 2 hours of fun with him. When I asked why I only get 45 seconds of fun every time, he said, "that is you and not me."  Oh well, age has both advantages and disadvantages.

We had stopped here after a trip to Sunnee. It was good to see that NiceBoys still has that photo of Charlie. Wow. He was such a fun guy and good to that bar.

As for ToyBoys, honestly, there were at least 4 or 6 guys I would have taken on my own. Some cute and well defined bodies. I did get my drink boys LINE as he said he comes to Bangkok some and wants to spend Songkran there.

[Tawan Bar in Bangkok Closed: Police Raid Reported]

Yes, famous for muscle but also had a fair share of twinks if you got there at the right time. The bar was not closed because of the cabaret. I have never heard of the police closing for shitty performance. Otherwise, I don't think any would be left. I just don't like the shows though.

Luckily for me, the "love of my life" who I met at the bar is still with me for many moons and he keeps in touch with all of his friends and I have had quiet a few muscle boys in my place as of late. @floridarob I know you were a skeptic for the love but it is almost like singing Celine Dion when he wakes up each morning (loud).

What is the name of the first bar in Boyztown as you enter. It is on the left and has many gay and fem boys in it?

Cocktails at Winner Bar would have been fun after that

Agree that should have happened. Boy liked the the boys he saw in that area.

[Nice Boys]

I was there tonight. OK selection of boys. I didn't check bin but I got 5 drinks and it was 1200 baht But one boy drink and one mamasan drink and 3 customer drinks (Tawan boy drink two).

Sunnee is definitely a ghost town walking around the block. It had been years since I was there only a few bars and no customers.

That just tells you I'm old and early to bed. Middle of the night for me is 11PM.

Had one living with me for one year during Covid. Loved fucking and getting fucked and threeways and fourways and would wake up in the middle of the night with his dick inside me for a second go for the day.

[Where to find bukkake]

Sure, walk into any bar. Take off 20 boys. Take then to a short stay hotel. Have them jerk off on you. Pay them, and full-fill your fantasy!

The genocidal dicktator Putin has done it again. Today he murdered more innocent civilians in Moscow. 

He is now crazy with power. His evil totalitarian dictatorship is even more murderous than Stalin's. 

What will it take for the Russian people to rise up and overthrow him and his thugs, terrorists, and oligarchs?

 

While I agree he is a dictator, your title is not true (or a lie). He did not murder these people. Reports I have read said ISIS was involved. Saying he did it himself, it absurd.

BTW: here is an old thread from years gone by

 

[Best Burger in Bangkok]

My Current Favorite @floridarob is Chop Keeeper and then send would be the Gourmet Burger at Devilish Eats.

I did eat at ShackShake in both Central and in EmSphere and they are good, but not the best for sure.

[Biden to defeat Trump in election 2024 | Allan Lichtman]

Thanks for this thought provoking piece. I think the title says it all and we should just accept this as the rule of law and forget November. Is this legal? Or, any more legal than an insurrectionist being President?

Still, I like him but I did think he would be a one term President. I wish he would review his options and think that perhaps he will will. He is a great man. Sometimes great men have to do the thing they hate the most.

Memories was a great bar and great concept. I hope they are all doing well,

Truth is, I did have a twin brother who did pass away. 😔

But, it is good to know that the Koko that everyone knows and loves in GayThailand is still kicking and enjoying life. When I first read this, my heart sank but then a few seconds later in the read, you returned. Man, I hope that happens to me!

But, I did plan to go back for him until I met the love of my life in Tawan.

Just an update, the "love" I was speaking of has been living with me and doing great. We get along fabulously and while he didn't stay with me initially, we kept in touch and several months later, he said he wanted to be my lover.
