How do you keep the spirit of Thailand alive once you return home?
spoon replied to AlexThompson's topic in Gay Thailand
Haha, i cant afford to go there everyweek, wallet wise and time wise and energy wise hahaha. But there are also options in my place with much smaller varieties of indo, thai, myanmar, vietnamese, nepalese and filipino boys working as masseur here too to keep me busy lol maybe it is one of the reason that i kept delaying my return to LOS. That and the ever increasing thai baht value and prices -

spoon replied to AlexThompson's topic in Gay Thailand
It is one of the main reason i visited this forum many times daily lol. U have done most of the thing i do to cope except for one, bring your thai boy to you lol. I guess for US, itll be not so easy, since its quite far, and visa etc will be complicated. Lucky for me, thai doesnt need visa to go to my country, which happened to be just 2 hour flight away. -
I think you are posting in the wrong forum altogether. Hehehe but thanks for the review of robin. I have been contemplating whether to try him or not lol

Attitudes towards men who bareback are barrier to wider use of prep.
spoon replied to spoon's topic in The Beer Bar
To present an alternate view of things, here is another article about the guy who is on prep daily for 2 years infected by rare strain of hiv that is resistant to many HIV meds. Link -
Interesting qualitative study regarding prep and stigma surrounding it and why it becomes a hindrance for people to use it. Two new qualitative studies from Toronto shed light on how stigma affects the uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and the experience of taking it. In the first, young gay men acknowledged that they did not always use condoms but did not see themselves as the kind of ‘barebacker’ for whom they thought PrEP was intended. “PrEP embodies the notion of bareback sex, which traditionally has been associated with negative elements, and it is quite clear that the young gay men in this research do not want to be associated as a barebacking subject,” writes Julien Brisson in Anthropology & Medicine. “This is one reason why they did not want to use PrEP.” In the second study, early adopters described concealing their PrEP use because of what it might suggest to others about their sexual behaviour. Nonetheless, most had an overwhelmingly positive experience of taking PrEP. “Paradoxically, some men said that PrEP use both led them to experience stigmatizing reactions within their social and sexual networks, while also helping to remove stigma, shame, and fear related to HIV, sexuality, and sex with gay men living with HIV,” comments Daniel Grace in AIDS Patient Care and STDs. Young gay men’s feelings about barebacking and PrEP Julien Brisson of the University of Montreal conducted ethnographic fieldwork with young gay men in a gay neighbourhood of Toronto. As well as in-depth interviews with ten men, he reports on informal interactions at gyms, social events, an LGBT film festival and meetings about HIV prevention. Most of his informants were in their twenties and well-educated, although his interview sample was ethnically diverse. The research was conducted in 2014, before PrEP was approved by Canadian regulators in February 2016. This was also before PrEP was added to Ontario’s provincial drug programme in September 2017, a move that has facilitated access to PrEP in Toronto, especially for people on low incomes. The men taking part in the research were generally well-informed about HIV prevention. Having had their first sexual relations in the 2000s, they were highly aware of HIV prevention messages about condoms. They were also knowledgeable about the biomedical science relating to HIV prevention, often using pragmatic techniques such as ‘serosorting’ and ‘strategic positioning’ to diminish the risk of HIV transmission when they did not use condoms. Of note, on the first occasions that the researcher met his respondents, they all reported that they did not have bareback sex. They tended to express the idea that it was a bad and reckless practice. In line with the way in which medical and psychological researchers have represented men who bareback, the young gay men often described barebackers as people who had problems with depression, self-esteem or drug use. For example, Brisson describes meeting a 25 year old at a party and explaining that his research was on bareback sex. The young man said with a tone of pride that he was a responsible person who always used condoms, while other men attending the party nodded in approval or said that they did the same. Link

Thats babe, nothing new except his hair lol

I dont think prosthetic eyes is something u can just purchase through ebay. Its a medical procedure to first remove the natural eye before attaching the artifical eyes. That is most of the cost goes to.

Thanks a lot for highlighting these two places, which was not in my radar at all. I feel like i can easily cover nyc, fire island, boston and province town to fill the week lol. Thanks for highlighting all the shows in vegas. Ive been to vegas 2-3 times and ventured to grand canyon and hoover dam as well before. But i was never much of a show guy before since those visits were during my univerisity years hehe, and most interesting shows for me at that time were more of shows like blue man's group and chippendales lol

Hi all. Turns out ill have a business trip to US soon, and will be extending my stay for a week to explore. Already decided to spend at least 2 days in NYC but have 4-5 days left and im am lookibg for options. I have stayed in the states before and have travelled to most places that is basically where most people will go as a tourist there. Ive narrowed down to few places that ive never been to, florida keys, or boston (or any of the new england cities). Anyone can pitch in which of these will be good for a solo traveller? Or have other suggestions?

I think coach Sue Sylvester did it first on glee, so the japanese girl is just a copycat hehe.

Chong nongsi station stairs... Been using that to access arena few times before. Hope all the injured speedy recovery. Of all the time, they choose low season time to do, so i do agree that casualties isnt the intention of the explosions

When i open my grindr in pattaya, ive had boys sending me obscene pics, sadly not my type.

Food hunting, and if you are up for day trips, i highly recommend the weekend train to kanchanaburi, maeklong train market with amphawa floating market, ayutthaya. In bangkok itself, the new mall iconsiam would be great too. Some night, i like to go to jazz bar, or other thai bars that have live show. U can google the highly rated one from the many review sites to have some ideas.
-
Yup. As z909 pointed out, we arent staying in bangkok, but having experience super long queue at certain stations to buy tickets, i can certainly see the appeal of not having to queue. However, if ill be using more than 4 times (average of 40baht per ride) id be buying the unlimited daily card instead for 140, while rabbit card provided no discount afaik.

I had that done to me, change with lots of coins, in old freshboys. Being an avid user of bts, i need those changes in coins lol
-
Ergh, you got ripped off left and right. I always use grab. If im in need of taxi, always insist on meter, and take taxi that are noving on the road instead of those parking waiting for customer. For tuktuk, i avoid them in silom all the time. Ive used motosai in pattaya, but not in bangkok but generally, try to get motorsai from their stations, which usually have many motorsai waiting and a signboard with bunch of locations with fares, unfortunately in thai. Image below might help. Always insist on setting the price upfront and always have the exact amount. Bts station is a great place to exchange smaller bills.

I first notice some bars also charges differently on alcoholic drink like beer, soda, and water in toyboys. If you just take bottle water, its cheaper but still not by much. Cant recall exactly how much, it could be 220 for water bottle, and 280 for beer.

I think flame as in candle light?

But trump, with all his previous mishaps and blatant lie still gets to be president. So yeah while worrying about the future might help you to be calm and relax thinking u did the right thing, no one knows what the future will be, or even if you will be there, still alive or not. Those in chartubates, work there, even though they study in the U, because they need the money to pay for the U. For them, thats the only and perhaps quicker way to get money to make sure they can escape that kind of life in the near future. And i still believe, if they are willing to take the risk of being in chartubate, exposing their face/identity, they know what risk that will brings already though like you pointed out, maybe not to the extent of running for the office risk.

High school in Taiwan allows boys to wear skirts
spoon replied to TotallyOz's topic in Gay China, Taiwan, Hong Kong & Macau
Believe it or not, many countries are getting there, the people are, not the government unfortunately. Religions being one of the main reason, mainly being used by political party to gain support. Though honestly it is more of a political move or rather inaction, as the politician still thinks the majority of the people are not accepting lgbt community, so they rather not fix whats not broken. Once they see the majority of the people shows acceptance towards lgbt, change in government can happen very quickly. Taiwan first held the gay pride in 2003 and it took them 16 years to legalize same sex marriage. To be fair, many lgbt in asian country are still closeted, and prefer to be so due to so many reasons. Gay activists here in malaysia are still fighting against discrimination, physical abuse and draconian laws that criminalized lgbtq. That being said, we have celebrities, instafamous, models that are crossdressing, trans, and looked very gay and have no issues with the police here. -
Yup, not the mini series signed on april. This one as shown above is a 52min documentary titled Thai cave rescue.
