yes it is open, but currently closes at 2am, same as DJ, which makes it pointless IMO

Fully agree with you, makes zero (political) sense and is the epitome of hipocrisy. However, this pretty much explains it - "this is how things are done around here"

I don't think rimming so alien to Thais, I see it in Thai porn, both semi-professional and home-made amateur stuff all the time. Maybe they just don't like to do it with hairy farang asses? Very understandable, I wouldn't either! It's a matter or, as it were, taste after all 😉

you can have gonorrhea in your throat (an in fact in your anus, too) with hardly or no symptoms at all. A camera won't find that (stupid doctor to do that), but a swab with lab test. Very easy

spot on analysis. There were, in fact, some people and banners about political issues, especially gay marriage, legalization of sex work, but also and critically, issue 112. My Thai friend I was with, who is very royalist got very upset about that, asking what that had to do with gay issues. I tried to explain that gay issues are very political indeed in many respects and have always been ever since pride became a thing some 50 years ago. Prime example is gay marriage, doesn't get more political than that. But also various freedoms including a general freedom of expression and press freedom, which is let's say underdeveloped in Thailand (for 112 reasons, among others) and which the younger generation yearns for, gay or straight. But such arguments count for nothing for the "conservative" people if some holy thing is being involved.

joining the app just yesterday rings yet another alarm bell. DO NOT DO IT.

in terms of ease of travel, (hopefully) yes. In terms of crowds guaranteed not as the Chinese will definitely not be able to return by then. So still plenty of opportunity to visit the touristy yet awesome sites crowd-free.

correct. It is exactly opposite Nature Boy

well, I live here....

speaking of road safety in taxis, this would be a prime example: driver watching youtube while driving. Happened just yesterday.

when I was at Moonlight a few weeks ago, and another few weeks prior to that, some models seemed to have lost their muscles and either became just slimmer, or the muscles turned into fat, or both. Not so attractive to the muscle-lovers here I presume. The super muscly "floor boy" A, on the other hand, is in outstanding shape.

all Saunas of the R3 group (Sauna Mania, R3 Sauna, BKP, Baan JV) are open and do NOT have any age or nationality discrimination any more. Maybe Covid brought them to their senses. It's cheap too, Mania is 100 or 120 only As for going naked in Bangkok, Onsens (Yunomori Sukhumvit/Rama 4 and Sathorn Soi 10, Let's Relax Thonglor, Panpuri) are obvious places as nudity is mandatory there. While not gay, there is always eye candy and some gays will often be there. Panpuri seems more gay than others.

@PeterRS I really really recommend online over the somewhat convenient 90day service by Elite, because Elite require you to provide a truckload of paper documents, including a TM30 confirmation, which in reality nobody cares about AT ALL at immigration, especially not for 90day. In the (new) online system you need virtually nothing, not even the TM6 landing card number (as in the old online system). It really couldn't be any easier. One has to register for the system once, gets a non-changeable password to login and from there it's all smooth sailing.

I did the same a year ago. Convenience and peace of mind has a lot of value, so I don't regret the expense at all. However, it does not absolve us from the idiotic 90 day reporting. But that is WAY less of a nuisance than all the other stuff, as it can be done online in a matter of a couple of minutes. I've done it since it became relevant for me with covid and has worked like a charm (except one time when the system was down for some weeks or even month. The new system they introduced I think in December is even much much easier to use than the old one, so doing that is even more convenient than the other option to avoid an unnecessary trip to Chaengwattana, i.e. have the Elite people do it for you, That involves a trip too (to their office, twice). When the system was down last year I had them do it, but for me that trip is negligible as it is a 3 minute walk from me 😉 Anyway online is THE way to go with that. 2 minutes on the couch.
