Does anyone know if they have opened a second location, and if so where that might be? In their daily LINE updates today there was a link for FaFa Massage & Spa 2. Plan on visiting this shop when I am there next month, but curious about the new location. 扶桑|fafa Massage&Spa2 มีบัญชีทางการ LINE แล้ว! เป็นเพื่อนกับบัญชีนี้กันเถอะ คุณจะได้รับข้อมูลข่าวสารที่เป็นประโยชน์มากมาย แตะลิงก์ด้านล่างเลย https://lin.ee/TWiGjFl 扶桑 | fafa Massage & Spa 2 We now have an official LINE account! 🎉

That was the original plan. As it turns out, one of their rental units in Bangkok is going to be open so I am going to stay in Bangkok most of the time. I am going to be in Pattaya, too, for one or two weeks in March, but waiting on them to let me know the dates they are available to take me. It will be a weekend due to school and work schedules. They will stay the weekend and then return to Bangkok. I will return to Bangkok on my own...either by bus or hire a car service. They are planning to book some type of day trip to an island off Pattaya...not sure of the name of the island. Maybe someone will know the island. Here is a link to video they sent me: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1551397432791844 They are making all of the arrangements. I just go along for the ride. lol. To be honest, I am more of a 'city boy' and never have been much of a beach person. Kind of glad the condo in Bangkok is going to be available for me to use instead of spending 7 weeks in Pattaya. Still gets me out of the cold Denver winter and I think I will have more fun in Bangkok.

So, does this mean you are currently in Bangkok? Did I miss some travel update...or is it already 2027?!? LOL.

Same here. If none of the hosts are able to be taken off for some fun, then it doesn't interest me all that much. Cannot see the value of paying money just to have someone sit with me for a drink. Just my take on the situation.

I will be in Bangkok beginning February 20 thru April 2. At the encouragement of another forum member, I might take a trip to Pattaya for a few days during that time period, but have not made any specific plans for the side trip just yet. Would be great to connect with forum members while there if anyone else will be around. Happy to exchange contact info via DM.

Yes, so true. Unfortunately, the only thing that seems to make it into the news these days is anything related to the orange bobble head. In addition, even news organizations are so fearful of his wrath that you cannot trust or believe most of what you read these days. I had no idea corruption was so bad in Thailand. Then again, it should come as no surprise that Thailand would be an exception to the norms of the world. Just proves that money talks. Certainly doesn't make it right. Regardless of compensation offered, how can you put a price on human life? Such a tragedy indeed.

Not familiar with this. Is this a website providing reviews? Primarily in Thailand? Would be interested in learning more about this.

How terrible. Didn't see anything in the news about this here in Denver. Will there be some sort of investigation to determine the exact cause?

The thing about Airbnb you need to be careful of is the 30 day rule. Thailand has the Hotel Act which limits short term rentals of 30 days. Condo's, houses, villa's, etc that rent for short term are technically considered hotels under this law and must be licensed as such. The other problem you may come across is some buildings have their own rules that prohibit these types of rentals. That doesn't necessarily mean the actual owner abides by the building rules, but could present problems for you if discovered. There are a number of posts on here that talks about Airbnb. You might try doing a search to bring up past experiences other people have had using that service.

And unfortunately for the rest of the world, those who could stop him sit idly by and let him do the stupid stuff. They have abandoned their fiduciary duty. The ugly orange one and his cronies are rampantly running amuck like a pack of wolves.

My understanding from @unicorn original post is that some of the 'inside jokes' were made in Hebrew. I doubt anyone other than Jewish individuals would know or understand Hebrew. Not many of the general non-Jewish population is going to have any clue about Hebrew. Perhaps I misunderstood his post.

Not to mention that pain factor. I know a couple of people who had it done as a young adult and they talked about how painful it was. I guess I never really gave it much thought until this post. Not sure I would have ever equated male circumcision to childhood mutilation. Wasn't really something I had a choice in...back in those days in the small town where I grew up, the local hospital just automatically circumcised infant boys. As a matter of fact, I don't know that my parents were even given a choice. It was just SOP back then.

Hilarious. Thanks for sharing that!

Make that 4. I missed out as well. 🤣

Kinda of agree with you. Seems like they made an assumption that everyone in the audience was Jewish and would understand Hebrew.

Think I must be the newest member of that club. I'm quaking in my boots! LOL!!!

I stayed at the Ibis Styles Silom in October and had a great experience. Convenient location, reasonable price, good breakfast buffet, friendly and helpful staff. I would recommend it, and if I was returning to Bangkok for a short visit would definitely stay there again. Rooms are a little on the small side, and for longer stays there isn't much in the way of storage for personal belongings.

ok, good to know. I hate cold or even warm showers. Like mine nice and hot...just like my men. lol. Think Zing is off the list.

Wish I had seen the bar tender from Ibis Styles Silom on Grinder when I was there in October. Would have been all over that in a heartbeat!!!

Is this something temporary due to construction or remodeling? Just asking because I was thinking of going to Pattaya for a few days on my upcoming trip and Zing was one of the places I was checking out. Might not be the best choice if possible guests are uncomfortable with the arrangement.

Interesting. I am like you...not something I would even think about. I just assume they would be different young men, not work at both businesses. Wonder how many there are that actually 'double dip' like that?!?

Doesn't matter where I am traveling to...domestic or international...I always shop around and look for the best deal. I have no qualms about canceling a reservation if a better deal comes up. I am also not so particular about having the same room if it is a repeat location. No issues if it is the same, but also fine if it is a different room, different floor, different building, etc. As long as it is a decent room, clean, good service, reasonable price and good location...I am happy.

Not surprised. Absolutely no way to prove this...but my gut reaction is most of those who donated are probably MAGA or trump supporters.

I realize that I am relatively new here compared to other forum members, but this post goes far beyond the friendly banter that takes place among the group. From my perspective, this post is hurtful, targeting, and shifts from good-natured teasing to bullying and harassment. I cannot speak for Gay Button, but I, for one, am offended by this post.

No, at least not the two therapists who gave me their LINE account. I did exchange greetings with the one from Paradise who asked if we could stay in touch. He is the 'special friend' I mentioned who will text every two or three weeks and has never asked for anything. No idea if the other one tried to message me or not, since he is blocked.
