The visa need to travel to Vietnam from the US used to be expensive and involve a trip to the embassy or mailing your passport off. There is a now an electronic visa available similar to that which Australia has offered for years. Now, all you have to do is go online and pay about $20 USD and you het an email back about a day later saying that your visa is approved.

I usually try and use Bradesco or Santander as well. My bank rebates the ATM fee and the exchange rate is always very very close to the published rate.

May I ask what attracts you to Cambodia? Vietnam appears to be very, very, very affordable.

Any experience with Cool Spa? They seem to be responsive on WhatsApp and I’m really into one of the guys there.

I’ll be passing through HCMC, Vietnam shortly. Does anybody have any recommendations? A massage after the long flight would be amazing.

I do not disagree with you. Non-GPs on Grindr respond to me when I am in Brazil that would probably not be interested in me were the interaction taking place here in the States. I am a huge fan of this phenomenon, especially since I am generally not into other tall white boys (especially ones with a few grey hairs like me) anyway. I like mixed, if that makes any sense. It doesn’t have to be the “mixed” that Brazil has in spades though. One of the hottest guys that I have ever been with was this half Japanese half Russian guy that lived in NYC.

G Spa in Rio can be good too if you’re interested in non-GP. I don’t think it is open 24 hours though. I have been twice. The first time I went, the place was filled with 20-something Cariocas, a shockingly large portion of which were interested in me (now 40 ughh but still somewhat fit, very mediocre Portuguese, white). When I went back a few days later though, it was still fun but it was no longer filled with 20-something. Promotions/day of the week probably greatly influence the clientele present or at least that is what I suspect.

Where did you find him?

A career as a proof reader is definitely not something that was ever in my future.

Really….? You and I like almost exactly the same thing. I’m surprised you’re not inquiring yourself actually or perhaps you already know which city he lives in so you don’t need to. I will get to Columbia one day. I’m preparing for my trip now that will take me to Bangkok for a few days but part of me is wishing that I was just headed back to Brazil. feliz natal

Any idea where in Columbia he is from?

Does anybody have any experience with him at Ganymede? PMs welcome if you are more comfortable with that. I only have two days in Bangkok and very much want to avoid duds.

I will be passing through Saigon, Vietnam soon and trying to figure out what to do there. Does anybody have any experience with Nadam Spa?

I’m very interested. I’ll be passing through vietnam shortly and try to figure out what to do. Does anybody have any experience with Nadam Spa in Saigon?

My prior bad experience wasn’t nearly as bad as what you describe. It was just a whelming massage from a cute thai guy that I could tell wasn’t really into it. Are the pictures generally at least accurate at V Club? I’ll only be in Bangkok for a couple of days so I don’t have a lot of time to spend looking for guys that are my type.

I couldn’t agree more. Part of my fascination with this is why the massage shops would even put this info on the listing in first place. If you’re going to a massage shop solely for sex, you’re probably not going to have great experience. If all you want is sex, you should go to the bars. And, if all you want is sex with guys that need to use the largest condom sizes, you should just go to Brazil.

Vclub 7…. My last trip to Thailand was pre-COVID so take this for what it is worth currently but I’ve never had a good experience there. Still, because Bobby (first picture) is lean and smooth and basically everything I look for in a guy, I’ll probably give Vclub another chance.

What does MT as in MT54 mean then? An example is attached. Thailand is just so different.

Thx! I’ll be bringing condoms with me from Merica for my trip next month but am still strangely fascinated by this. Any idea what the GB in GB54 means?

Interesting…. Is there a reference chart or something?

Not recently, but I’ve been to Thailand several time before so I should know this and it’s probably been covered somewhere on here before so I apologize in advance but what does “Types: GB54” in the attached photo mean? Lots of massage listings have similar references and I just realized I have no idea what they mean.

Has anybody been to Ganymede recently? One of the guys there is exactly my type but it’s been several years since I was in Bangkok last.

Let’s say, hypothetically of course, that an American citizens was planning to spend 6 months in RJ next year and that this particular American citizen takes PrEP which is prescribed to him by his doctor in 90 day increments so the Rx will need to be refilled at least once but probably twice during the 6 month stay. Minhas perguntas para vocês: 1. The gorgeous 25 year old that this American citizen will be be spending most of his time with says he gets his PrEP Rx for free by going to a public health clinic in RJ and telling the doctors there that he has sex with other men. Gorgeous-25-year-old sees no reason why non-gorgeous-40-year-old-American can’t just come with him and also get free PrEP too from the clinic. Could one of the esteemed members of the board confirm that Brazil will not actually in fact give PrEP - which is a rather expensive drug - to an American in the country on a tourist visa for free? 2. Is planning a mid-stay return trip to the States probably the best way to go about getting the Rx refilled? Other factors will probably make at least one return trip necessary anyway so this is definitely an option.

Ughh… I thought I was posting in the Latin America forum. Sorry.
