The opening of Guidos
I can confirm that the Pratamnak branch of Guido's "G's Bangkok" is open. During my evening health walk I walked by. I did not enter as I was hot and sweaty. There were some customers and some nice music was playing. I want to come and eat here at the soonest. https://www.facebook.com/share/1YhzWjW7ie/

Off to the Philippines
Maybe this Reddit list of top massage places frequented by the gay crowd in Manila could interest you? It came up randomly on my Twitter (X) feed today.

New "saunatainment" spot opens in Bangkok - Wellmax

New "saunatainment" spot opens in Bangkok - Wellmax
No AI - I wrote everything with my own fingers on my keyboard. I only used the AI translate feature to see what was written in Thai into English.

New "saunatainment" spot opens in Bangkok - Wellmax
Many reviews are starting to be posted about the new Wellmax "saunatainment" venue. This review is by far my favorite - it is rated XXX so prepare for no details spared - it is in Thai - so you will need to turn on your AI translate feature. It has 33 parts to his very detailed "trip report". He posted the below interesting map in his X (Twitter) review. Note the rooms with a Muay Thai boxing ring and Tuk-Tuk - fantasies can cum true....

I'm getting old
Thanks for sharing this positive message with all of us. I still have a little while until I reach 72, but knowing from others (you) that fun can still be had in our respective futures put a smile on my face.

My dismal attempt at speaking Thai.
That made me laugh. When I was living in Italy and I decided that it was time for me to seriously learn Italian - I got to know the Italian teacher and I asked her, which foreigners are the most difficult to teach Italian to. She replied: Americans because they don't remember their grammar structure rules, Japanese because there is no connection for them to any of the latin language sets. As an American - her analysis was totally correct. I did not remember the grammar structure rule set for English - it was all remembered by rote brute force. So, the only way that I could successfully learn Italian was to re-learn the English conjugation rule set for "simple tenses", "compound tenses", and "phrases bound by time anchors". I remember buying the Italian verb conjugation book: Where each verb is conjugated into its individual tenses. As my brain tends to work in a matrix format - I just had to learn these Italian verbs and remember in which row and column was the correct verb tense that I needed. I also revisited this verb tense usage in the same matrix format for English and then that was the key to my success when I needed to conjugate a verb. My brain would remember in which row/column the verb tense that I would need to use and just pick it up from what I remembered in the 501 verb conjugation tense list. After many years of living in Italy - I eventually overcame this conjugation handicap where I could conjugate the verbs automatically - because what you discover when you live in a new host country is that all of the conjugations are rarely used and a popular much smaller subset is used in everyday language.

You guys ever use Airbnb ?
I tend to prefer AirBnBs for long stays - like when I stayed in Da Nang for 4.5 months and also for my 2 months in Cebu. Why? It allows me to obtain that feeling of "living like a local". Also, when I use the amenities of the AirBnBs that are in larger condo complexes - I can meet the actual people who live in such places and then I can ask them all of my gazillion questions about what life is like there. This is how I found my current condo 4 years ago that I currently rent in Jomtien. I got to know the locals, the security team, the juristic office personnel, neighbors, groundskeepers, etc - and together they gave that family feeling - and that is exactly what I was looking for. When I stay in a hotel - I don't obtain any of these feelings / sensations. When I go into Bangkok - I tend to stay in hotels - because I am generally in BKK to enjoy the Silom gay ghetto area and I don't require to know what it would be like to live in BKK, as I am not a big city guy and I much prefer beach towns.

The opening of Guidos
Perhaps. Phratamnak soi 7 is the main street of the Russian zone in Pattaya - almost all signage is in Russian, Thai, and sometimes in English. In the below Youtube video 2 Russians give a tour of Phratamnak soi 7 - don't forget to activate the English AI track At the point where Phratamnak soi 7 and Phratamnak soi 6 almost merge is the biggest Russian night market. Guido's new restaurant on soi 6 is just 5 minutes by foot further south towards the beach. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DbipE4VRotu/

The opening of Guidos
Yes, I also worry, as that is Phratamnak soi 6, which is a type of residential street - with Phratamnak soi 5 being the primary commercial busy street for the Phratamnak neighborhood of Pattaya. The good news is it is very easy to find parking near Guido's new restaurant. Also, it is only like a 5 to 7 minute walk down to the Phratamnak beach promenade which connects to the gay volleyball area and Dongtan Beach, which offers a very pleasant seaview walk back to the Jomtien Complex, aka Supertown.

Pattaya's newest attraction = SINA Floating Beach Club
Well for now they were able to get rid of the recent tar balls that washed up onto the local beaches. However, I am not aware if they were able to identify the ship(s) that allegedly "illegally flushed their tanks" thus causing that temporary dirty situation. So, things have returned to "normal" and you can now walk on the beach.

New "saunatainment" spot opens in Bangkok - Wellmax
It seems that a new gay "saunatainment" spot has opened in Bangkok --> as per a recent Twitter (X) feed that I received. Based on what I read in the below review by Twitter (X) blogger = Gay Onsen in Bangkok - this new concept seems to be very impressive and unique. https://www.wellmaxbkk.com/ https://x.com/saunaonsenbkk/status/2083929506650492971?s=20 Location wise, it is perfectly located in the basement of the Wall Street Tower at 33 Surawong Road. https://www.wellmaxbkk.com/visit/ If anyone visits please report back as this seems to be a nice new addition of our scene in Bangkok.

Pattaya's newest attraction = SINA Floating Beach Club
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbLhTRuBU6e/?igsh=d2kxM2RrbmRjNXZ3 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZCswmjlQ8T/?igsh=MWRpODh2a3E5M2phNQ== From the recent advertising it is very heterosexual - but, I see that different entities are starting to organize 'private' parties aboard. Perhaps, one of these to-be parties will be for PLU ? Current pricing is very steep, so their current target market is very Hi-So.

Guido’s cat
Good question. After living here for 4 years what I have noticed is the large influx into Jomtien/Pattaya of Bangkokians whenever there is a long weekend. This phenomena is similar to when I lived in New York and when there was a long weekend the New-York- Citiers would inundate Long Island (mainly in the Hamptons). So, my feeling is that just like the New-York-Citiers viewed the Hamptons as their playground I would say that the same is true for Bangkokians. There is the attraction of fresh sea air (instead of hot smog) with the recent added attraction of tar-ball dumplings - which I don't think can be had in Bangkok. So, maybe Guido is targeting the frequent Bangkokian visitors - hence the name G's Bangkok? 🤔

I could not agree more. Our writing styles (even with mistakes) is part of our persona, personality, and digital signature - and is what makes us identifiable and family here in our forum. When the A.I. changes what we would write normally - we are no longer who we naturally are.

Retired to Thailand.
These 2 Tiktok snippets were hijacked from Youtube blogger = @thenakedguru where Ryan Otis is the owner of this Youtube channel and is his content. I follow Ryan - he has excellent Thai content. He lives up in Isaan with his Thai wife and children.

New hotel on the block ARNI HEXA
Yikes - thanks for sharing those reviews. Before I posted my above post - I had searched for this place in the Massage_Insider Telegram forum but there were no returns - so that should have been the first clue that this place is not in demand.

Sticky tar-like mess on the Koh Larn and Jomtien beaches today
yes I agree. Many of the people here at the local Jomtien beaches are thinking that it originated from Pattaya city. I disagree, because the way these oil deposits, tar balls found their way was that they FIRST hit the Western shore of Koh Larn on Tien Beach and nearby Samae Beach and then AFTERWARDS the tar balls started showing up on the Jomtien beaches. And the HUGE industrial ships are the ones that pass to the West of Koh Larn in the main waterway channels of the Gulf of Thailand. Consequently, I would venture to say that the "illegal case of flushing the tanks" occured in this area - as indicated in the below impromptu map: Would you agree?
