what about that local who advised not to go to Salavdor de Bahia? or those doormen advising to stay inside while waiting for Uber? I doubt they are posters here

what I meant by saying 'Hongkongers are already in' was that they are already under heavy hand of Chinese law enforcement so presence of Chinese cops in Thailand would not scare them more , they are scared enough. Taiwanese are different story as they still breathe freely.

Excellent point about Taiwanese. It won't be long before we would see tittles "Taiwanese tourist abducted and taken to China by Chinese cops on mission on Pattaya's Beach Rd" Hongkongers are already in so probably not that much concern.

ever since wars stopped being fought one-on-one every army targets civilians whether intentionally or not. That the nature of modern warfare. ................. Are you sure Arabs are serving in Cahal ? Honest question and I'm quite sure they don't. ............... Soldier is handsome and brave and needs to be said has great sense of humor

sounds like taken from Chapter 7 of " Short History of All Russia Bolshevik Party " by J.W. Stalin

I 'd add 4. on full stomach

at least some justice, sigh

What a nonsensical idea, it's so stupid that I suspect something must be lost in translation. So which law those Chinese cops would follow - Chinese or Thai ? And if say, some ladyboy snatches wallet from Chinese tourist will they be able to arrest Thai on Thai territory ? What about if thief will be some foreigner ? Just ironing such practicalities will be extremely complex, thus impossible without even going into biggies like sovereignty

perhaps disbanding those schools would solve such persisting and yet nonsensical problem

hopefully perpetrators will be found and feed to sharks It was even GThai movie " Is my classmate a gay" based of such nonsencical rivalries. On eof characters when asked why ? couldn't answer and said ' it's just tradition" . At end of day so much about Buddhist values and peaceful society. Clearly Thailand has some violence problems, it's just us tourists who are spared such attractions

Whjy? Are they in need of 51th state or something? Main beneficiary is Russia because it drew attention from their aggression of Ukraine to the Middle East.

in right circumstances straight guy may bottom for you. One advertising himself as "man" most likely won't. One labelled ' top only' almost certainly won't.

Mikok, don't be shy. go ahead and tell us what you don't like

that's nonsense for both ethical and practical reasons. If bar introduced en masse "Thailand first ' policy pretty fast their scenes would be emptying and bar tables will follow. They may be customers who prefer Thais only but I doubt it's massive sentiment. As "foolish" member noted above, being cute counts , not passport or even lack of it. And by the way that policy looked may be good on their sign but in reality there were non-Thais working as well. And sadly, recent purge cleared also few Thais. One who alerted me about being let go was actually Thai

no, it was releasing some venom, likely to mitigate gall-bladder pain

Great report from such short trip. Hope your guy lands somewhere , at least he has his day job. I like that tattoo but yes , I would be bit upset if money I send for support went to such vanity but if no conditions were made , after all it was his money. I had the same with certain HC when I learned string on my quite generous tips after we spent few nights together went to eye improving plastic surgery . I did not detect any difference. Why to spend money on brand name Kleins when fake one are quite passable and in reality either hidden or removed beats me but what do I know? That round of drinks looks very generous although I feel sorry for guy's liver if he needs to gulp alcohol to get some cash.

I , for one , visit, daily this, Sawatdee & Gaybutton sites as well as ChristianPFC and ShamelessMac blogs. Contribute only here and occasionally on Christian's site. For my travel needs, Kayak for flights and Agoda for hotels seem to be sufficient. I pay very little attention to reviews, be it airlines , hotels, restaurants or indeed boys , spas and bars posted on various sites unless I know reviewer either in person or from contributing here. Sometimes for fun I read reviews of hotels I'm familiar with , either in Thailand or somewhere else and find them all over the place. Food reviews are even less useful as our tastes vary and too sweet for some may be bordering on bitter or sour for others and even if your chicken with cashew nuts may seem too salty, one I order 1 hour later may be just perfect in the same place

thre are bulges which it's better not to draw any attention to and that is what I had in mind

Jason , you are forgiven ! I'm working on organizing some spies who may go and report for us. Thank you for the picture. Guys at Sol look tempting , at least for those tried eyes.

too bad that guy learned costly lesson that is not

correct, spread money between many pockets and do not use wallet. That way even if you are robbed , highly unlikely thief will clan you of everything as most of theft is opportunistic. Why don't use wallet ? two reasons- first it's bulky and tends to bring attention to wrong bulge, second , if used most likely all documents and money will be in one place, hand for you but also handy for thief

is sad but quite often people who went through extreme situations are reluctant to talk about them . I guess it their way of going forward without raising demons of the past. My grandfather , WW I veteran when asked one by us granchildren why he doesn't want to tell us about the war cut us shortly " every guy with gun during war killed many people" and then we never asked again.

unfortunately that regret is almost universal, we all have it and heard from our parents and grandparents have the same regrets and it is always too late to ask

Nothing wrong with carrying cash but still carrying almost 2000 $ that late is very odd. What kind of shopping he was planning to do ? Off whole bar of girls?

not that obvious. Skilled boy can give you full body treatment without touching any part of your body he doesn't need to. If he does it's either accidental or may signalize he maybe interested in a bit of expanding services.
