I asked Gemini "Where do the Chinese get information about gay gogo bars and massage shops in Bangkok" and the answer was: When Chinese travelers head to Bangkok, they don't usually rely on Google Maps or TripAdvisor. Instead, they navigate a specialized ecosystem of Chinese-language apps and niche social media platforms that offer hyper-specific reviews on everything from the "vibe" of a gogo bar to the "service quality" at a massage shop. Here is where they get their information: 1. Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) This is the "Holy Grail" for modern Chinese travelers. It functions like a mix of Instagram and Pinterest. How they use it: Users post detailed "travel logs" (vlogs or photo carousels) with titles like "Bangkok Gay Travel Essential Guide" or "Silom Soi 6 Massage Review." * The draw: It’s highly visual and relies on peer-to-peer trust. Travelers look for specific keywords like 曼谷同志 (Bangkok Gay), GoGo Bar, or 按摩 (Massage) to find curated lists of the "hottest" spots. 2. Heesay (formerly Blued) As the most popular gay dating app in China, Heesay is a major info hub. The "Travel" feature: The app often has location-based features or community groups where users share real-time tips. Live Streaming: Many Chinese influencers or expats living in Bangkok live-stream from areas like Silom Soi 2 or Soi 4, giving viewers a real-time look at the crowd before they even book a flight. 3. WeChat Groups & Official Accounts Private Groups: Frequent travelers often belong to private WeChat groups (sometimes with hundreds of members) where they share "insider" info, warning each other about scams or recommending specific "numbered" masseurs. Official Accounts: Specialized travel accounts (like "Pink Economy" bloggers) publish long-form guides that provide addresses, entry fees, and "strategies" for navigating gogo bars like Jupiter or Moonlight. 4. Niche Community Forums Finka: Another popular Chinese gay dating app (similar to Tinder/Instagram) used by a younger, more "aesthetic-focused" demographic to see where the "cool" guys are hanging out in Bangkok. Douban Groups: While older, Douban still hosts specific groups dedicated to LGBTQ+ travel where users post long, text-heavy reviews and "etiquette" guides for Thai saunas and massage shops.

Have been to Phetchaburi recently and it is nice for a day of sightseeing, I especially liked the summer palace on the hill (Phra Nakhon Khiri Historical Park). Also had some great food there.

While technically correct, one should also read the background of this story to get an idea what might or might not have led to this sad end ...

I take it back!

You wouldnt use them for cleaning your ..., would you?

You cannot test pleasurable sensation, but you could test sensation, no? Like a hearing test for your sausage...

why?

Got the same, from a different username

I got one from @CocJockerag. Looks like the bots are taking over.

@TotallyOz, is there a problem with uploading pictures? I am getting error code -200. Or does Gs cat not allow to upload other cats?

did you wear any underwear?

Heads or head, you still didnt change, I would even say it got worse Thanks for all the infos!

Maybe a hotel expert can enlighten me: I am observing prices for The Quarter Silom. I mostly book it on Agoda. But then they stopped offering it on Agoda. I checked booking dot com and prices where 150-300$ instead of "normal" 60-70, I am talking about low season. Whats the point in raising prices of a 4* hotel over the prices of 5* hotels? Hoping to find some stupid people? I started checking other offers like Trip.com and the hotel website, where prices were more moderate but still more than i was willing to pay. Do they want to get more bookings from their hotel website? But shouldnt they then at least renew the certificate of the website so browsers don't say it is an unsafe website lol? In the end I booked a different hotel, but suddenly in the week before my arrival the hotel reappeared on Agoda with for me acceptable prices, so I cancelled the other hotel and booked The Quarter.

Might be my poor English skills, but took me a while to understand that gaybuttonthai should be read as gay-button-thai and not gay-butt-on-thai!

We now know what is happening in their room, but what is happening in your room? Did they already complain about your moaning?

The Philippinos can do BL too, but we already know that!

It means they are using the towels as a gag

There is also a roti stand next to corner Surawong road / Soi Than Tawan, only in the later evening

... we both collect stamps! (reminds me of language school ... Write 10 sentences that start with ...)

The Vietnamese can do BL too!

The least language I want to hear on a holiday is my own!

Considering the high number of twin brothers one could assume you descend from a sperm bank

No signs of life yet. Seems to consist of at least 2 buildings. The facade reminds me of The Raya.

Voco feels a bit more upscale and for business travellers than the quarter. Feels weird to walk around in flipflops and shorts in such posh surroundings. This might change though as the first holiday travellers stay there with their bar guys. Pool is nice and big.

Some cleaners are quite attractive, and male!
