If no dancing, what is attraction? I understand that you can't off the boys during opening hours, at least you used not to be able to.

True, but actually, I always stay at the Meridien, Surawong, (which is a Marriott), better view for boys!

All very odd. It seems that his family paid off the horse owners. Some tabloids said he raped the horses, but that does not seem to be the case, it was, so to speak, sexual assault. It is a parallel with Peter Schaffer's play Equus, where the lead character, an attractive youth (!), has a sexual attraction to horses. In the play, he has to appear naked! In the first production Peter Firth played the boy, rather attractive!

Bearing in mind the arts connection, perhaps they have additional courses in drug running?

I plan to be there, 11th November to 15th, and 20th to 23rd. Staying at Le Meredien with angled view of river, so any info gratefully received!

Rather strange!

I should be there 22nd and 23rd, on my way back from Siem Reap!

"Why is it that such raunchy places disappeared?...." Also, don't forget government clampdowns, and activity of BIB. Tea money usually an isdue.

Thanks. So not a 'prep school', then. I see it specialises in performing arts, which fites the media background of the father.

It's just that Oldaddy likes to ask questions to which he knows the answers, it amuses him. Some posters here dub him the man with multiple personalities!

Yes, sorry! Surawong, opposite Le Meredien, I'm always mixing those streets up!

He already knows this.

I hope to conduct a survey in early November!

I went to Green Massage, Sukhumvit, a little time ago. Foot massage on ground floor. They had some cute guys, as well as girls. It's not a gay massage parlour, so I just chose one cute guy, and booked a full body massage. They had proper rooms upstairs, and I made it clear i wanted extras, by not putting on the flimsy underwear provided! Within 15 mins I was fucking away! I may have been lucky. But clearly it happens. We didn't agree a tip, as I hadn't really expected such success. So I gave him what I had, 1,500, and he seemed happy. So happy he texted me suggesting another session!

The sentence for Couch was very lenient indeed. Clearly his family were well connected. He only went to prison for a breach of probation. There would have been numerous civil suits on behalf of dead and injured, which may, or may not, have been handled by his insurers, if he was insured. The school mentioned for Wilson, is a 'prep school', that is 5 to 13, it would be interesting to know where he went next.

Indeed!

Yes, the 'tip off,' number of officers there, and Bt20,000 all are odd. However he seems to have admitted he was carrying the bags of 'tea',and talked about Snoopy, etc, so it doesn't look as if he was framed. He could be on drugs, perhaps? Family are involved in the pop industry, i gather. Or just very dim. Some time ago, I enquired about one private school i had never heard of, in England, expensive, and was told it was a school 'for thickos'.

Unfortunately, there are so many things happening in the US that are literally unbelievable. Being lost for words is no longer an adequate comment.

Thanks comments. As I mentioned, I was underdressed, and I don't wear a watch. No camera, and phone firmly in pocket! New York 40 years ago taught me to avoid eye contact, and stay in the main, lighted Streets. And, as you say, stay alert!

On my last visit to Rio, now 4 years ago, I stayed at the Copacabana Palace Hotel. Nostalgia, as I had stayed there on my first visit over 40 years ago, and offed an amazingly sexy boy from one of the gay bars then round the corner. The hotel was run down then, but still impressive. In it's new incarnation it is very smart indeed, with excellent restaurants, one having a Michelin star. I restricted myself to boys off the apps, in my room, which worked well. I was attending a conference, and giving a talk, so free time a little limited! No chance to go to saunas. I chatted to the concierge, discussing old times, and asked if it was safe to walk along the sea front. He said, no! I pointed out I was in jeans, etc, so he said, OK, but turn right! I had a perfectly nice time just having a couple of beers. I would say, however, that the ordinary eye candy on display had gone down a bit over the 40 years, More overweight young guys, etc. Not sure if that was just me. Still, a great place.

Wasn't there someone called Stalin? Quite well known at the time. Only killed a few tens of millions. Nice chap really, favourite uncle.

I do think that may have been it! Somewhat seedy, but sheets were clean!

There was a short time hotel, maybe still is, off Surawong, near Patpong, which had large mirrors on the ceiling! I can't remember the name.

I have bird outline stickers that I put on my French windows to stop birds flying into the glass. Seems to work. Bit unsightly, as they are black.

Most, if not all, Governers General are citizens of the country to which they are appointed, they are not British.
