Thanks for posting! Obviously a very gifted young man. Not sure about his hair.

Totally agree with @Enchanted_Elixir. Bear in mind that it's Thailand so better to relax, go with the flow & not try to control everything. If you find a masseur who you like & have a rapport with, he may be better able to address your particular requirements. Very good point about the Saphan Kwai shops (like 15M) & how much massage is going to happen if you are interested in penetration. Prince Spa might be a good place to start. Anyway, good luck & I hope you enjoy your first visit to Thailand.

Good question! Have you inquired at the shop what they charge for 'offing' a masseur? They might be able to suggest a short-time hotel. Even the masseur might know where to go.

Is it a good idea to book the guy ahead at Aiun Massage?

Back to Ghana, the country's legislature recently passed highly restrictive anti-gay legislation which has not yet been signed into law: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/jun/01/ghana-new-law-criminalising-lgbtq-activity It criminalizes 'identifying' as gay & the promotion of KGBTQ activities with 3 to 10 year prison sentences. Gay tourists & visitors should proceed with caution.

According to Google, it is permanently closed.

Thanks for an excellent post! Very informative & organized.

Looks very trendy!

Agree about Battambang. It has its own unique charm & is very different from PP or SR. I also went for a short visit & wanted to stay longer.

As far as I know, the Thai Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) is still available so people (like myself) will still be able to stay in the Kingdom for 2 months with the possibility of a 30-day extension, as long as they are willing to go through the application rigamarole & pay the fee (currently $200 US).

Excellent report, thanks! I wonder if the regular customers got their masseurs to lose their clothes & have more participation in the session.

It has been reported in the Press that Senegal has very recently enacted harsh new penalties against gay people & gay activities: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyjzdjned0o Personally, I would have no interest in testing how serious they are about enforcing these new laws. Visiting (& spending money) in a country that has such vicious anti-gay policies is not very appealing either.

Are there any shops where you can get a good 'no extras' massage? I haven't had much luck finding that.

figured I’d try Sophia’s across from Dick’s. 100 baht for chicken basil with two fried eggs. Really good... Agree... I like Sophia's a lot!

Good to know! Skytrain level is the 'B' Basement level?

Fez has the reputation of being the most traditional & religious city in Morocco so I would be surprised if you found any hammam or massage action. I visited there many years ago & I did not like the buttoned up atmosphere then. Also it was very difficult to visit the medina & the various souks without a guide as I prefer to wander around on my own. However, @speedoo1 is no doubt correct about Grindr!

A lot of cutting remarks too!

Back in 2023, shamelessmack had a number of detailed posts on Bali on his blog: https://shamelessmacktwo.travel.blog/ Might be helpful.

Yes, that's what I am thinking!

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
