PasivoS, What did you think of the Boutique Hotel Palacio? Were you able to bring guys to the room with no problems? Would you recommend this hotel as a place to stay for a single traveler?

Last week I visited Python the night of bingo. I noticed that the large entry room with tables is now divided into two rooms. As you enter, the first section has a few tables and now a stage where bingo and shows are not held. Previously bingo and the shows were held in the basement. Like other recent posters experienced, there were very few program guys; maybe five or six. The program guys did not appear to be very interested in hooking up with any clients: I will not speculate why not. There were a lot of clients, sitting at tables, drinking and chatting with each other; very social. As usual, bingo was a circus. It seems that everyone wants to be a comedian and will shout comments after each bingo number is called. HOW ANNOYING and the bingo game takes a long time to complete. This was the case with bingo at Lagoa when Carlota, the bingo caller was there. Now bingo at Lagoa is without all the annoying yelling, a few yes but not as much as before. After the very long, loud, and annoying first bingo game, I left and went to Lagoa. Lagoa was crowded with both clients and program guys. The various shows at the saunas are nice, but I and most of the clients are there for the program guys. With that thought in mind, BINGO, Lagoa is the winner hands down.

I visiteded Gold therapy massage (https://www.goldtherapy.com.br/) and the experience was a waste of time and money. After multiple exchanges of information on Whattsapp, specifying what type of massage I wanted, selecting the person, time, etc., when I arrived I was told that the person I requested was not available. I asked why wasn't I informed of that 2 hours ago when you RE-CONFIRMED my appointment? I was told that the fellow decided not to come in at the last minute. Then I was shown photos of guys who were readily available, and despite my better judgement, I selected another guy. When the fellow arrived, he did not look like the guy in the photo. What the heck, let's go ahead As he took off his clothes, I began to feel felt better. At least we would be nude. That was about as exciting as it got. Unfortunately his massage was lackluster. There was very little body-to-body contact, or whatever that was, and I never saw nor touched his body throughout the session. Finally I had enough and decided to see what was or wasn't going to happen. He said that he doesn't get hard and no sex could be involved. So, I ended the session, paid for his time and left. Also, despite the beautiful photos on the internet, the place is dingy. When the client before me left the room, a man went in to clean the room and exited in less than 2 minutes. The matress was on the floor and instead of a sheet, there was a thin layer of paper covering the matress. The walls were dingy and trash was swept to the corners. I just closed my eyes. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!

THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION! I got a good laugh from reading your message. People like you make sites, like this one, very worthwhile in expanding one's knowledge; thus facilitating international travel. Keep up the good work.

Buttercawan, can you recommend some massage places in Sao Paulo? Also do the massage guys get nude and the massage terminates with a "happy ending"? What are Dedalos and Chili? Bars with program guys?

Has anyone recently posted on this forum a map of gay bars locations in Bangkok? Also a map of massage locations?

DelRetiro, I agree with you. The Igorot men, shown on the video, are eye-popping. I never saw men like that during my week stay in the Phillipines. Where are they 🤣? Any suggestions? Why did you think the Panagbenga parade was "a bit corny"? Also I found no information on gay venues in Baguio. So I ruled out a visit to that location. Do you think it is worth a visit?

When I was a kid, I told my parents "all my friends are doing it". Their reply was, go live with your friends and let their parents take care of you. End of story 😅 In Brazil, the Iphone is also an obsession with the program guys. I surprised a guy and bought another brand of cellphone, much-much cheaper than the IPhone, for him. In less than a month he lost the phone! He asked me to buy another cellphone for him but only an IPhone. I declined, stating that those phones are too darn expensive. Guess who stopped spending time with me? (ha-ha). For the price of an IPhone, I had a lot of fun with a multitude of program guys. TO EACH HIS OWN.

One poster wrote that the Dominicans have a preference to be with people of "lighter skin" in color. I was surprised when I read this. The Dominicans are not varied in a wide range of colors like the Brazilians or Colombians? But then again, with "tools" that size, who notices anything else? 🤣 🤣 🤣

FTRPL, you stated that maybe the men in the DR "have a thing for lighter skin". Are there not many light skinned guys, say the color of many Brazilians, in the DR?

I am thinking of visiting Thailand next month and staying less than 30 days in the country. After reading some information on the internet, I am more confused than ever concerning the VISA requirements and the total process. Do I need to apply for an electronic VISA on line before I depart the U.S. for Thailand or can I complete a VISA application form at the airport like I did many years ago? So, as a U.S. citizen visiting Thailand for less than 30 days, what do I need to do? THANKS.

If the guy is not a GP and does not go with clients, then why is he telling you that he is a top? It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out what is going on here 😂. In his efforts to get money from you, he is now trying to make you feel "special" and the "one and only". What some of these guys will say and do to exploit the clients!!!!! Of course it works sometimes or they would not keep trying it. Xpaulo, sadly Fragata closed a few years ago. Many of us dearly miss the place. There is a very beautiful and expensive high rise condo built in the location of the old Fragata. Give Lagoa and the new Python a try. You never can tell what may happen. GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY YOURSELF.

The garcon wanted 400 reais for what? He said that he is not a GP and does not go with clients. Then why and what are you giving him money for? If word got out that you are giving away money for NOTHING, you probably would be the most sort after man in Brazil, yet alone Sao Paulo - ha ha. But then again, if that is your thing and it makes you happy, go for it! because it is your money and you can do with it whatever you want!!!! Apparently his scheme must have worked at one time or another or he would not be trying to get money out of you for nothing. As the expressions goes: "if at first you do not succeed, then ....." or "there is one born every minute", etc. etc. Do what makes you happy and enjoy yourself!!!!!

Earlier this year I went to Python a few times. It is a nice place but definitely not a rebirth of the old Fragata; boy do I miss that place. The days I went to Python there were far fewer program guys there than at Lagoa. Twice I left Python, which was almost empty, and went to Lagoa which was packed with both clients and program guys. You wrote that later you will rendez-vous with "a waiter from there that says he's NOT a GP, but wants to hook up....I'll wait for the sob story after we eat 🤷‍♂️". You are absolutely correct about the sob story. A waiter/barman there also wanted to hook up with me as well. He said he needed money to pay his rent and mentioned several times he is NOT a program guy. I mentioned I do not give money away freely for NOTHING. A few days later he said he was robbed leaving the bar and had no money to come to work, adding that he is not a program guy. Again I informed him that I do not give away money freely. The third time, not a charm for him, he actually tried to make me feel guilty for not giving him money. He said I must not have a conscience because as a rich foreigner I should feel guilty for not helping poor Brazillians. After that exchange I deleted and blocked his number. Good luck. It is nice that Sao Paulo has another sauna with program guys. A city that large should have several such saunas. A decade ago there were as many as seven such saunas spread throughout the city with Lagoa being the grandest of them all. Sadly, they closed one by one. By the way, have you seen the new large very elegant condo built on the site of the old Fragata? WOW! Continue to have fun and thanks for the postings.

I was surprised when I read this on the internet. Go to the U.S. State Department web site to check it out.
