A member from the We Love Jomtien Facebook group posted an update today regarding the Jomtien Beach sand replenishment project. It definitely has reached the police box where Dongtan beach begins. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/19SibobSym/ There are many discussions going on locally as to whether they will continue northbound - into the gay beach area. Many people are saying no and a few people say yes that they will continue. I am in the YES camp - for what I show below: With us definitely in the monsoon rainy season - there has recently been some intense rain storms where noticeable beach erosion has already taken place in the Dongtan beach area: In the above photo, you can see that the storm waves have already started to destroy the foundation of the Dongtan Beach road. This is directly in front of The Heritage Beach Resort - which is just after the gay volleyball courts. In the below photo - which is at the edge of the Dongtan beach pavillion where the daily aerobic classes take place - you can see that the sea is already washing away part of the foundation of the Dongtan beach sidewalk. They keep filling it in with sand - but as you can see in the upper right corner - the sand already has a steep downward slope from the erosion. I was chatting with a forum member today and he was asking if the rain is intense in these days. I will let this sexy guy Misha be your testimony (see his recent Instagram post below) - as he can be found frequently working out at the outdoor Bamboo Gym - which is directly adjacent to the gay volleyball area - of what a recent rain storm was like here in Jomtien: https://www.instagram.com/misha221995/reel/DdHOXgCpCeS/

Shall we start a Gayguides forum GoFundMe for you?

Yes. It was a surreal event. I was with my exThaiBF#2 and a group of his Thai friends and we were in the Jomtien Complex, aka Supertown at The Best Bar anniversary party when around midnight, all of a sudden, the bright lights went on and the DJ stopped the music and the performers rushed off of the stage, as a large group of police came in to make a pee/document check. At my table, we were 7 people, including myself. The six Thai guys were asked to relocate to the back of the bar with the performers, bar staff, and other Thai customers. I got agitated and I asked one of the police guys why are you taking my friends away. He barked back and told me to stay calm - which I did. Within 5 minutes, my exThaiBF#2 and his 5 Thai friends were back at our table. I asked them what happened and they were asked if they did any drugs and were asked to make a pee test - but then abruptly the pee test was canceled. The entire ordeal took about 30 minutes but the damage was done - because before the police raid The Best Bar was FULL - there was a large table of Chinese customers sitting in front of us truly enjoying themselves and it is very rare to see that in the complex. After the police left The Best Bar, the bar was now empty and the previous success of Khun_Best's anniversary party was evaporated into the ether thanks to the police raid. Did I have my original passport or DL on me? NO Did I have any documentation on my person? Yes, I always get new facsimiles of my documents laminated and it is these credit card sized documents that stay in my pocket (passport ID on 1 side, visa expiration stamp on the other side), health insurance card, and Thai driving license. All originals are back in my condo room in the safety lock box.

Perhaps its time for someone from this forum to off one of them. But, it will require some deep pockets - so count me out.

AseanNow has published a story today about the Legacy Big Tool venue on Pattaya's Walking Street. Very interesting article: https://aseannow.com/thailand-news/russian-men-flee-war-to-work-pattayas-strip-bars-r3733/?utm_source=aseannow_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2026-09-12&utm_campaign=Russian+men+flee+war+work+in+Pattaya+strip+bars

ἐν πιθήκοις ὄντα δεῖ εἶναι πίθηκον I had to look that one up

and when you live here you are constantly reminded of these self-censorship "guidelines". especially if you get too curious as to why a PFC event took place..... so, overtime, you also adopt the "artificial" smiles as part of your new persona.... when in Rome - do as the Romans do - comes to mind....

Wishing you a safe and stress free journey, so that when you re-embrace Cam again he can feel your love and excitement for this new chapter in your life. 😘 All the best 🤩

I am confused. Your AirBnB in Bangkok was in the BKK gay ghetto = Silom. All of the guy attention that you got in BKK came within radius of your Grindr free (or subscription) plan - as displayed to you on your Grindr screen. All of those blessings were because you were in Silom and not in Lak Si or some other far away part of the BKK metropolis. Consequently, by being in Lamai many of the potential guys that might interest you probably won't appear on your Grindr display because you are too far from where their profiles are located??

PLU = People Like Us - as in part of the LGBTQ+ community I asked Grok what is there for PLUs in Lamai Beach. It basically says that Lamai is the honeymoon place of Koh Samui - but your 2 Grindr candidates are back in BKK. Here is what Grok replied:

Outch - this tidbit of information tells me that your AirBnB choice is far from the fun Chaweng Beach area where the Pride Bar is and also many PLUs. Any reason as to why you chose an AirBnB so far away? In Bangkok you chose an AirBnB right smack in the middle of the gay zone (Silom). If I were in your shoes - I would rent a motorbike so that you can get the most from your stay in Koh Samui. I have been several times - but you will need a way to move yourself around to see everything either by hiring a tour guide or renting a motorbike to see everything.

When you say Pattaya - does that also include Jomtien? if yes, there are many m2m massage shops in the Jomtien Complex, aka Supertown that are physically within the complex and also out on the exterior road (Thappraya) that circumvents the complex on the outer perimeter. Sudjai is the newest addition to the complex: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591910247066 Regarding the areas near Tukcom and Boyztown I am not aware of any new m2m shops. Supertown MAP Those entities displayed in green on the above map are the massage shops.

And the Winner is: HEALS won the Best Documentary Feature at the 2026 Pattaya International Film Festival (PTYIFF). As I could not attend the awards ceremony that was held at the Colosseum on 28 August 2026 - the results have finally been released in social media at: https://www.facebook.com/reel/2067369040651191 I am very pleased with this outcome.

The very useful Unread Content clickable button still exists - it is just positioned differently depending on how you are viewing the GayGuides forum.

For those who do not know - the Unread Content button/link displays all of the newest posting across all of the global forums - where you can quickly and easily catch up on your favorite topics and/or forum posters.

emoji test 🫠☺️🤫🤑 This concludes the emoji test so, you are correct - it now works -- I can now post multiple emojis and the emoji selection box remains full of emojis from which I can choose. Prior to this emoji test - the emoji selection box was NULL.
