Excellent post! Did you go by yourself? Did you meet anybody? Did you dance? Thinks=twinks?

I am looking forward to your report too. Safe travels, Christian!

My favorite: While Titian was mixing rose madder, His model reclined on a ladder. Her position to Titian Suggested coition. So he nipped up the ladder and had her.

Zing continues to be very busy. While I was checking in yesterday (about 2 pm), they turned away another customer without a reservation & told him that they were fully booked.

Back in December, 2023, shamelessmack had better luck at Paradise Spa in Boyztown: https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/2024/01/08/a-little-closer-to-paradise/

Another one entirely: A Chinese woman was arrested & charged with the theft of 6 gold nuggets worth 1.5 million euro, which were stolen from the Museum of Natural History in Paris last month. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62ez36ndp3o

Wow, the Voice of Experience! Thanks for all the helpful advice.

There is definitely the possibility of extras at many low-end, mixed masage 'foot massage' shops. One problem is that the massage will (probably) not take place in a private room but in a curtained off area of a larger space & that may put a damper on things. You will only find this out after you have agreed to do the massage. Also, not every guy in a shop like that will be willing to do 'extra' or might not be very skilled at it.

I have done stops in London (twice), Vienna & Istanbul (also Seoul) on trips from NY to BKK & I agree that it is a better value than flying direct.

@vinapu is right! I was forgetting that for this board's members, neither rain nor heat nor gloom of night (or a long walk) shall keep them from seeking some quality time with a handsome, young masseur! As for me, I am not as young as I used to be.

I'd allow 30 mins from Silom Rd to get to either Prince or S'sense so a bit more than an 'easy' walk. Go down Convent Rd to Sathon Rd, cross the pedestrian bridge & then straight down Suan Phlu. S'sense is right on Suan Phlu & Prince is up Soi 6.

Harris does seem to be settling scores left & right but the advance for a book by a prominent politician (even after a defeat) will probably be in the millions of dollars & it's free publicity after all.

I would definitely be interested in your report. Maybe you should start a new thread?

Older guys like myself may recall (dimly or otherwise) the 1950's-60's era of muscle magazines. Here is a nice article from the New Yorker looking back to that time: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/photo-booth/the-secrets-of-physique-magazines
