Also wondering what kind of press they want to attend the "Press Conference Show"? I always thought this type of etablissement prefers to stay in the shadow?

Ups, yes, Jupiter!

Friendly immigration officer is a very rare species like smiling guys in Moonlight Bar. So far I only encountered one in Singapore and one in the Philippines.

I forgot 1 point: Paying online is a different story, like buying a museum ticket or train ticket online. For that you must be a mainland China resident. The alternative is to buy tickets on those international websites like Klook, Getyourguide etc, but they are much more expensive.

Alipay allows foreign credit cards, but you must also check if your credit card issuer allows it. I used a Wise Virtual Debit Card to connect with Alipay, which I deleted when I left China I am not sure if you can use foreign credit cards with Wechat pay, probably not. I think Wechat pay is the most widely used system and then comes Alipay, but most vendors offer both. I can speak here mainly about Beijing: you actually can pay cash in most places, I just doesn't look like it because almost noone does it and they don't explicitly mention it and they hide the cash somehwere behind in the room. Near the end of my holiday I tried to intentionally pay cash in many places to get rid of the left over paper money, and that worked pretty well, I am talking about museums, restaurants, small shops; I didnt try with taxis I "only" had 2 occasions where I had trouble to pay: 1 taxi driver because he only had Wechat-Pay and I had Alipay and he became pretty angry (stupid guy!) but in the end I could pay in cash with a few percent surcharge 1 automatic massage chair where i wasnt able to figure out how to pay, so no massage

I am somewhat technologically outdated but i thought the purpose of a QR-Code is to be scanned by a scanning device like our beloved smartphones, not to actively scan something else (the laser pointer)?

So everybody would be pointing his camera to the stage or elsewhere to scan barcodes, but secretely taking pictures? I dont like this idea. This makes me really shy! Would it even work in a dimly lit room to scan barcodes? Or if the boy is half hidden in second row? How would you in the future report "I offed Nr. 9", would you say "I offed barcode nr. 9-234234--535524546--62626266"? I dont think so. If pushy mamasans are the problem, it would be the owners task to adress this problem. If the owner doesnt care and the mamasans are the real bosses, they wouldnt introduce barcodes to bypass themselves anyway. The website needs constant updating, we know how well this works ... Do you really want to log in the wifi of the bar ... many dont like this for security reasons. To sum it up, i think a simple thing becomes just more complicated in the end. The real issue is that pushy/unfriendly mamasans can keep customers away from the bar and I wonder why owners dont care.

It happened a few times to me that i got 1 day free data with limited speed for my AIS sim card when i switched it on on arrival. I always use the same simcard and recharge it.

One day, long before the pandemics, I was there and a guy asked me for my whatsapp and I carelessly gave it to him and then I got messages "I love you", pictures, videos, naked pictures, "why dont you love me?" etc. so pushy that i had to block him. Now when I am in Pattaya, which is rare, and he detects me on Grindr, I still get messages. Since when does the Dongtan court have floodlight? I remember the guys all changing to the court in Jomtien Soi 8 when it got dark., but the court there is gone now.

I think this needs many steps like make sex work a legal profession allow foreigners to pursue this profession (I think the majority are foreigners?) make a work permit/visa affordable regular free health checks Overall this would make prices rise and therefore some forum members bitch.

The White Temple is in Chiang Rai, not in Chiang Mai. Or is there another White Temple I am not aware of?

Finally you come to your senses again!

Not a BL, but a new travel VLOG channel with Mew + Tul. First episode about Mongolia (still on my travel list).

Seriously I hope this is fake news! I mean it is good to visit other destinations too, but 2027 ??? You should follow the advice you would probably give to someone else who writes your report: life is too short to have long sour feeling! Cut the guys who deceived you from your list and book next flight asap!

short time or long time?

Since I could take all 9 of them, I will take just 8 and leave Ole for you!

I stayed in hotels in China and did not report myself to police and had no issues, although police was checking my passport 1 million times in the vicinity of the Forbidden City. In Beijing, there are ticket machines in the subway, no need for passport, but at museum sites you need! Also the Forbidden City has ticket booths. If you are not going in the high season (whenever that is) and you are a bit flexible with the days, you could risk to buy the tickets there. You also can buy the tickets on international websites like klook.com, getyourguide.com, trip.com, but they cost a lot more. If you use roaming, for example a Thai simcard with a roaming package, international websites/services are not blocked. But even if you can use google maps, it seemed pretty useless to me (not up2date, sites at the wrong place on the map). Until November 30 some countries, mostly European ones, have visa free entry for 2 weeks.

From Wikipedia:

Are you sure? Latex free condoms are either made of polyisoprene or polyurethane. I thought only those made of polyurethane can be used with oil (like Sagami brand), but most latex free condoms are made of polyisoprene (and I think Durex, too?).

I hope they leave some loopholes for ASEAN masseurs!

Who knows the list by heart, gets a free lunch!

Happy birthday!

If you choose an oil masage, I would say chances for a handjob or a mutual handjob are not bad, but it depends on the masseur. I think I remember some other members reports here that they got more than a handjob.
