Yes Keith I realised it was a joke, but perhaps some of the readership aren’t as smart as me !

I love gay sexual practices but i dont like describing them to str’s

We always have to remember that what we do is sometimes repulsive to many str. I’m sometimes not confortable in hotels with boys surrounded by str couples and families. I’ve had str men ask me about gay sexual practices - which I don’t,like and don’t describe in detail.

Soi Buakhow ? I seldom go there, especially not with boys. It’s full of Brit/Aussie yobs getting drunk,on 40 baht beer, starting at 8am. No gayest bars at all. the Complex is the place to be for gays like me. ive also stayed a few times at the Agate. Their rooms are perhaps nicer than those at the Zing but I don’t get on with their breakfasts, which are too Thai dish orientated.

Yes Kram it is the cool season in Thailand. it’s my hotel of choice because it’s mostly gay this time of year. Always someone to talk to. Good breakfast/

YouTube ? Channel ? Nope! thanks for the info

Returning to the subject of this thread -The Philippines of which my knowledge is very sketchy. Which location would be best from the point of view of the gay scene and most importantly availability of boys ? I rather like the idea of a beach resort with quality accommodation. I have heard mention of Davao and Cebu meeting my specification.

I’ve been trekking in Nepal - wonderful experience in the high mountains. Companionship in lonely tea houses eating mainly fried potatoes and eggs. Did it twice but need to get much fitter to do it again even with porters carrying our gear. Kathmandu like a mini Bkk but no gay bars I’m afraid. I forgot the boys whilst on the trails. Everything cheap but BASIC.

How did you find the Zing Resort. I’ve stayed there a few times . No problem with boys overnight. Very gay friendly

Interesting that this thread has touched on the subject of gay nude beaches. I myself spent several holidays in the resort of Maspalomas on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria during the years 1995 to 1999, before I and a companion discovered Thailand and Asian boys as my favourite gay destination in year 2000. Maspalomas (and I’m told still has ) a vibrant night-life centered on the Yumbo Centre. Flights from the UK taking around 4 hours including accommodation there could be had for around £300, The beach is magnificent, long with large Atlantic waves, warm sea, and backed by a large expanse of sand dunes. During the day gay men (no women) congregated naked around one particular beach section which had chairs and the usual beach facilities, where we cultivated tans and socialised with other vacationers from all over the world. This occasionally developed into flirting and even a “walk” in the dunes, although sometimes you had to beware of the cops, patrolling looking for gays going too far. I don’t remember any commercial sex.

Thinking about YouTube, Pattaya videos started to appear maybe about 10 years ago, but it’s only in the last couple of years that they started featuring the areas favoured by gays like myself ie The Complex, BT and maybe the Dongtan gay Beach. I’ve watched a couple of these taken when I was resident in the subject area, but I don’t appear. I wouldn’t be concerned unless I was featured taking part in activity featuring myself in close intimate proximity with younger boys, but movie makers thankfully seem to avoid this sort of activity. If somebody back home did show me one of these I would be highly embarrassed.

You mention the Jomtien Palm Beach Resort. I stayed there last January for 4 nights when my preferred hotel in the Complex, the Agate was full when I arrived with no reservation, but could offer me a room for the rest of my trip. The Palm Beach is a huge place with impressive facilities , including indoor bowling. I checked on arrival and was told that there would be no problem with me having boy joiners in my room, but it seemed to have mainly Chinese tour party guests, so I would not recommend it for gay single men like you and me. I transferred to the Agate after the 4 nights.

Yes I’ve taken the cheap option of the baht bus, normally from the bus rank at he junction of second road / south pattaya road to virtually outside the Complex. But this often involves waiting at busy times while the baht bus fills up. Not good when you have a hot boy with you !

Over the years during my stays in the Complex, I’ve brought boys back to my hotel (mostly Zing) without problem. For recent visits it’s been Bolt Taxi, but in the past I’ve used motor bike taxis or a rented bike. When Sunee was a popular gay area there was always a waiting bike taxi outside Winner. Not sure I would ride pillion on a boy’s bike ! It would be great if Winner survives and prospers, I loved that Gogo, but that’s another story.

My experience was the same, but it’s at a distance from BT and the Complex. I hired a motor bike when I stayed there. Occasionally boys weren’t keen to go there because of that problem.
