As per my experience: every hotel in Thailand is gay-hotel, while not every is "for men only".

Ok, let's see. So, fucking New Yorker, tell me: do you really think "If word isn't rude for me, then it isn't rude for all people"?

Yes. I do. And not cause we have different points of view, but cause you are just fuckin rude.

Ok, my soul is quite cold and I have thick skin. What can I tell about this situation? Michael, you can keep to count it is "about money story" (while it isn't), but it is OK. But I have to say: When BF doesn't care about website and reports, when he has restaurant and not has 5 bucks yearly +3 bucks monthly for hosting (free hostings also still exist) to keep domain working and to save works of Mr.Brigs, I don't feel any obligations in front of him in this situation. I didn't copy/paste from working site. I fairly pay by week of my life for first 10 pages of reports and will pay more if I will continue. FB was lazy and lost reports, I spend week of my life to search and restore and you think I should pay to BF? Are you kidding on me? My question is what I can make for memory of Mr.Briggs but not what I can do for to tamper his exBF. Side note: may be my reply sounds rude, but it is result of my English skills, if so I'm sorry.

My knowledges about past of Pattaya gay community are even more limited than my English Tell me please: is his Bf the person who ran pattayagay.com with Mr.Briggs? Idaho?

Michael, thank you for answer. What do you think as friend of Mr.Briggs: he wrote reports for profit or for people? Will be he happy to know what after been lost his reports are restored and again have readers? Also please visit pages and tell me: is this restoration with respect and in memory of Mr.Briggs? What are you opinions: what I can do more to express my respect to Mr.Briggs? Seriously. you knew him, I never met. So tell me what I can do for him for to pay his works more, what can be done better?

His site has been closed from saving by special instruction for crawlers. For now only his google-map is online: there are places and his comments about each place.

exactly Thank you everyone for support. I think - I will continue. As my "special thank you" please take a look; Club "Splash" website, Pattaya, 2001.

Side effect of my researches . I'm sure some faces are well known in community. I feel free to post pics here cuz they already have been published in past. 2003, Loy Kratong in cummunity: Diva's show, 2003 (2004?) Splash 2003 Even old pattayagay.com forum

By the way: at time of my research I found what one of oldest photocollections still exist in web: gents, please welcome albums with great pictures from Phuket Gay Festivales 1999 and 2000 Special note: I have any connection with this site, just found it cuz it has been mentioned in one of Mr.Briggs reports.

Lets discuss it here. It is important for me. My point of view: I used to read reports in far past and they were useful for me. I never met Mr.Briggs. Less than month ago I become co-partner of Sawatdee Network and found page with history of S.N which is wrote by Surfcrest on server. This page wasn't even visible for visitors, but I found it very interesting. Then I spend about week to recover and restore Rush's blog - Bangkokbois. It wasn't so easy, but I did it and that recovery has been warm welcomed by community. After such warm words I found interesting to recover the oldest mentioned website pattayagay.com. That time I even haven't old database or archive with images to restore history. Instead I'm searching old cashes of searchengines. From many searches sometimes I'm lucky to find html files - old echo of now not existing sites which almost everyone forgot and no one save. I'm wrong in attempts to restore reports? Is it bad to search and restore "old lost scripts"? Should I stop now? Now about links in my "signature" - as I stated already I'm webmaster of this sites and even owner of domain names. But all sites made by me and supported for free. I made sites for my friends for to help them. Every site has phone numbers of boys - just call them or meet them and ask if I got from then even one baht. Sorry for my poor and limited English.

You think it is about profit? What profit can I have from that? Also think: pages and site don't exist long time already. If I not do it - then everything will be just lost. I'm searching old files and restore in memory of old days. Do you think it is bad?

If somebody interesting in history of the web of gay Thaialand you are welcome to read and comment old "Pattaya weekly reports" of Dr.Allen R. Briggs, I do restoration now here: Now restoration of 1999 is going on. Also have been able to restore some photos. At the picture: Loy Kratong celebration at The Icon Boutique Hotel, Pattaya 1999. Comments are welcome here and also at reports pages.

Malaysia - Islamic Philippines - too high criminality (in comp. with Thailand) Vietnam - under commy while never homosexuality has been in criminal code Laos - great, but undeveloped too much + has no beaches and sea Cambodia is next in my list for retiring after TH Some promises gives Burma (Myanmar), while has unrest on north and is still too much undeveloped.

public nudity is illegal in Thailand

Yes, price reflects quality - there are only international sportsmen-pilots with own equipment... if you want to get lower price - best way to book balloon flight very in advance - in May-June for season November-March with discount 25-30%

In fact Bagan's gay scene is third largest in Myanmar after Yangon and Mandalay, but it is also quite hidden from eyes, and using dating application isn't popular. To find cruising places and sports is much easy with help of locals - they know right places. Word of caution: listen advises only from trusted locals (staff in hotel, guides), don't ask drivers or strangers.

I have been in Shanghai few times since 2004. There are a lot of freelancers at Hornet and to find person (20-30 yo) who will join you in hotel "just for fun" been very easy even in my 50+ years. Places to see - old town, TV -tower (don't miss excellent museum in tower's basement), oceanarium (also close to TV tower), parks are impressive, riverside is charming place where I spend hours and hours (also cruising place)...

No You have just to say "Yes, you can" and I will copy-paste your report to site

eztiger, can I publish your report at siamroads.com?

Siamroads.com has cute "agent" in Bagan in case you will need any help http://siamroads.com/kaung-bagan-burma/

I had flights with China Eastern few times. Onboard service is OK. Be ready: seat's space for legs is less than usual, seat headrest located lower. Also: 5 of 6 flights have been delayed for 3-6 hours. Esp. early morning and late evening flights usually are delayed by reasons of the fog or smog.

I have used Uber in BKK, it is great for short distances, but is much more expensive for long intercity distances than regular taxi. For example BKK - Poi Pet cost about 4000-4500 with Uber while regular taxi cost 2200-2400.

As per my opinion: better to celebrate it somewhere else. For example in Pattaya. Cuz Silom at Songkran looks like nightmare.

Merry Christmas to all users of gaythailand.com from boys of siamroads.com We wish you all the best in love and in life.
