Go to the Bangkok postings in the Gay Thailand Business section. Vinapua just did a great update of all the good massage places. I leave in a few weeks for a months stay and I'll have that section memorized before I leave.

If you want a great top, and massage. Go to Adonis and ask for Ton. He can't wait to start topping.

Need to get a calculator to keep up with this thread.

Christian, happy to hear what you said about discussing time and tip. I never talk about time or money. I consider myself as paying the average rates. I tend to like sleeping alone, so don't encourage overnights. I have a boy that now stays with me, my entire trip. When we met a couple years ago, he was always short time. This past spring he said he wanted to stay all night. I agreed and now I have a full time companion. I pay what I feel is the going rate. He has never asked for more. Before him, I never had a boy question what I gave him.

Boring or to long, are not words that I would used to describe your postings of your adventures. I looked forward everyday to reading how your day went. You do more in 2 days than I do when I am in Bangkok for a month. I leave in February for a months stay and hope to get out and about a bit more using a few of you suggestions .

They can hissy fit all night long with me, and throw in a bit of Sarcasm, I'll be all set for Christmas.

We're not talking China here. I don't totally disagree, but I live in So.Florida and have friends that can tell you horror stories of what has happened to them and their family and friends under the Castro government. If the Castros weren't in the picture, I think everybody would be jumping for joy. But for now, I'm going to side with my Cuban friends. I just want to see this announcement work for the little guys, not just politicians and big Corporations. If Cuba was such a great place to live, I would'nt see a boat load of refugees arriving on the beach at end of my street every week.

Well Zip glad to know you have such high esteem for repressive dictators who do nothing to help their people. Let's hope this is a step in the right direction, but I don't think you will see any visas given out to the average citizen at the new American Embassy. At least until the Castro government gets everything they can for themselves first.

I stayed at the Marriott 2 years ago for New Years. When I checked in, they told me dinner was mandatory. I said I was going out with friends and didn't want to be forced to pay for something I wasn't going to. They said it was ok, and I wasn't charged.

You just reminded me why I like retirement so much.

Jfarmer017....I have done the Dfw-Hkg-Bkk trip 3 times this year. All with business upgrades and the Cathay downgrade. You say you travel a lot for work , so maybe you have high status with AA? My point is, on all 3 trips, when I arrived at the Wing lounge, they had business class upgrades waiting for me. So keep your fingers crossed, and hope for a full coach section.

I think the "forced dinner reservation" is a victim of poor translation. When I stayed at the Marriott, nobody said anything about New Years dinner. Then I noticed flyers around the property and dropped off in my room a couple of days before the 1st. I went to the front desk and said no way was I going to have dinner at the Marriott and I would check out the next day. They told me that guests didn't need to have their dinner. That all the other property restaurants would be closed, so IF you wanted dinner on the property, this was your only option. I talked to a few people out by the pool the next day, and we were talking about the forced dinner. They all said they didn't go and were never asked or pressured to go.

I stayed at the Marriott over New Years 2 years ago. They had the same thing, but it was about $200. US They had lots of food, western,thai and Japanese . Open bar. It was all set up around the pool. I had a room overlooking the area. I don't think I ever saw more than 10 people out there. The help out numbered the customers.

Should be able to sell that by the case around here...

A little off topic, but I arrived in Bangkok yesterday. The IPhone goes on sale here this weekend and all the boys are trying to figure out how to come up with a fast $500.00 . They were all sitting around tonight figuring out what size and colors they want. I was propositioned more tonight than ever in my life. Boys that 2 months ago would barely do anything, tonight had very few limits. So tomorrow night, I have big plans....... Thanks Tim Cook for boosting the Thai economy.

I just arrived in Bangkok yesterday. I went to check out your link and have found it is banned in Thailand. When I was here in August I was able to get into it. So looks like we have a little censorship going on.

I'll try to find out some info this weekend. I know the owner, so if he is in town, I should run into him. Right now I'm sitting in Cathay Pacifics Wing lounge in Hong Kong, waiting for my flight to Bangkok. I flew Miami-Dallas-Hong Kong today. Sometime it seems like this last 3 hour leg takes longer than the Transpacific flight.

Fusion is owned by the owner of Hot Male.

Don't worry, you won't have any problems finding what you need. Yes there are a lot of boys that are small, but there seems to be increasingly large amounts of above average size.

I'm saying door to door. Up in the air is about 22 hours. But driving to Miami, layover in Dallas. Unfortunately new American Airlines flight forces 4 hour layover in Hong Kong. It all starts to add up. I do get to do it in First or Business, but I barely sleep on a plane. Going to Bangkok, not so bad as lots of good thoughts of fun to be had. Going home, not so much.

From the time I leave my front door till I arive at my apartment in Bangkok, it's about 40 hours and 3 planes. All the way over I think about my midnight arrival and how I can probably hit up Soi Twilight for a little while the first night. Then I get to the apartment , take a shower, the see that big comfortable bed. Lights out. Get a good nights sleep and have a fun 2nd night. I'm anxiously waiting for next Monday for my 4th trip this year.

I live in Ft.Lauderdale. This happens on a weekly basis. Haitians arrive almost as fast as Cubans. I live just a bit up the street from the beach and have seen a couple of boats arrive. People will usually jump out of the boats and swim the last several yards, because the federal law is, if they make it to dry land, they can stay. It's easier for the Coast Guard to catch and return them if they in their boats.

All Draker does is reprint newspaper articles all day long. He uses more space and wastes more of our time than any poster I have ever seen. Of course now he is going to play the victim game.

I stay at the Marriott and have never had anyone bat an eye. I've come in at 2am and have the security guard get the elevator for us and say "goodnight". I think hotels in Pattaya know what goes on.

Thanks for the great trip reports. I had a couple of chuckles at the Vietnam stories. My bf is Vietnamese from Hanoi, but living in Bangkok. You mention crossing streets. I'm not allowed to cross the street by myself, he has to be with me to navigate traffic. As far a condoms go, he always has them with him. He is always lecturing me that they must be used. Which of course, I have no problem with. He speaks very little English, his friends even less, but we communicate ok. When he texts me, they come thru in good English. I've found the both his friends and him, have great translator aps, and use them much more than Thai boys. Glad you enjoyed Halong Bay. We are headed there in March for a few days.
