Yes sir! I love that place. I've done unspeakable things there in plain view. I never forget when my best friend came over (straight) and I took em to Windmill, which is now called Windmill 1. We had a seat just in front of a raised table. On the table there would always be two girls naked playing with weird things. Mostly things you can slap them with. That night was a wild night all around. Multiple people were having action in plain sight. As I said, that table is on eye or should I say tongue height. So if you move your head forward a little bit, you'll be licking carpet before you know it. Hahaha, that was a wild night. But I still go there often, never that crazy again, but a little bit playing is fun. And yeah, I cannot compare it with and boy bar that I ever been too. There is always a party atmosphere. Not to name names now, but when I enter some boy gogos, it just feels depressing. It took me some time to get yours Maurice LOL

A friend just told me that M bar was closed two days last week. He cannot tell me if it opened again after those two days. Anyone information about that? On the other hand, I did notice that the gogo bar next to Panorama in Boystown is open again. Might have nothing to do with each other but I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

You’re right, digital platforms have given performers more power. They can now act as their own agents, set their own prices, and keep a lot of what they earn. For some that is an improvement compared to the bar model. But in a bars the content can be controlled, what's online is there forever. Also, only a small number of people make serious money from it. Most struggle to get noticed and many give up because it’s such a crowded scene. It’s a tough and very competitive. You can see the high turnover of new creators. I know that in lower-income countries, even small amounts can make a big difference, but it’s definitely not easy money. I'm a frequent visitor of Windmill, and there is no problem with mobile phones or cameras. No Thai men allowed either. Much saver for those who don't want the stigma of being a sex worker.

Hahaha, can I have one without the guardrails? The “Deep Seek AI” thread you linked shows forum users testing AI to profile fellow posters—producing elaborate, flattering analyses like the one about userxxxx If an AI produced unrestricted feedback instead, its tone would likely shift from reverent to evaluative: It might highlight biases or ego displays (“self-mythologizing through sociological language”). Note forum power dynamics (“a senior member reinforcing hierarchy via praise”). Flag emotional performance (“humor as armor, validation-seeking through mentorship”). Question credibility (“apparent wisdom built on anecdote”). In short: the unfiltered verdict would be more psychological, skeptical, and sometimes unflattering—less literary tribute, more character audit. Edit: I don’t mean to spoil anyone’s fun. I’m genuinely curious what it would sound like if the AI gave a completely unfiltered, brutally honest version about me. No flattery, no diplomacy, just 100% truth. I’d actually find that fascinating.

All my German cards can be locked. It takes me a few seconds to lock and unlock the card via the bank app. Then I have multiple cards linked to one account so I can bring 1 card and only put the money that I am planning to spend for the day. Each card is 10 Euros, but it gives peace of mind to discard cards, especially in situations that you mentioned. Is that not a US thing? An example of what I see in my app: It gives 4 options you can turn on/off or change. Cash withdrawal, pay in shops, pay online or pin.

Yes, the Disney show in Hong Kong was pretty amazing too. Crazy that it is every night.

I just read back some old posts and realised that I remembered certain events in the wrong order but the main points stand. So I also saw your post and the problems of travelling into Pattaya those evenings. So people should take that into consideration. I assume that travelling with a motorbike taxi would still be an option? I'm staying at the Grand Avenue again, just like last time so it is a short walk for me. Like last time, I'll probably have a drink after the show on a terrace in Boystown. Anyone who wants to come and say hi is welcome. Just send me a Dm. This is the link to the older thread:

I had to think where to post this. I was looking for a members only forum, but couldn't find a fitting place. Admin feel free to move it where you see fit. The video is in Dutch only, but I added an article link that I translated to English below the video. https://www-rtl-nl.translate.goog/nieuws/buitenland/artikel/5531387/nederlander-opgepakt-voor-ronselen-kinderen-thailand-na?_x_tr_sl=nl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=nl&_x_tr_pto=wapp I would say that I have not seen this for many years. We all know how it used to be. People who might think that this is still at every street corner because of this video are mislead.

@neyger That report was 10 out of 10. Some real helpful nuggets it.

Well, he accepted that he didn't get it this year. His staff have made clear that it was given for efforts in 2024 and he was still campaigning. He is sure it will be next year that he gets it. This is the man that called the department of defense the department of war. Is there not a Nobel price for economics? I always hear (from him) that there is no better business man than Trump.

I'll be there too and you need to find a place that has the music of the show. Yes, you have a nice view from a high building but you will probably miss the synchronized part of the show. I will watch from the sidewalk/ or beach and find myself a stack of speakers which are spread out along the beach. You will not miss a thing. For sitting, you can check Melia hotel roof, and they also have a beach club with a roof. Prices I don't know. Yes, it's surely a major event. It is actually a competition between nations. This year is between Germany, Japan, Philippines and of course Thailand. 2 shows per night.

He is not! He has seen the killer tools too 😂

Brazil is still on my list, but that whole sauna thing still seems very intimidating. I've been in my younger years but even then felt very uncomfortable. I'd prefer a place like Industry in Medellín, the host bars in Pattaya, the Cabaret Tito's in Mexico City. As I did the settings in former eastern European countries like Casablanca in Bucharest or Pinocchio in Prague. But yes, time to step out of my comfort-zone and give those saunas a try. Next year I'll be making plans and will surely come back too all of you for the latest info and tips... when I have bought a ticket.

After so many years, that is still a mystery to me. I know some Thai songs and would be able to lip-sync them...not speaking a word of Thai. Well, they have the best teacher there. M is an old-school mamasan...read pushy. That said, I do like M and always have fun drinking with her. This might shed some light on a dispute on another board. When you say all-inn, do you mean the + stands for the service you got from the Dreamboy? Also, was that negotiated or asking price? Thanks for taking the time to write this all down. Appreciated!

I'd like to know if he believes himself when he tells obvious lies.

That reminds of of Vietnam. We are what we pretend to be.

Even in JC I have gotten fake Bacardi.

True, but a clear difference is that Obama's message was unity and Trump is only dividing. Everything he does is clearly transactional and he is being seen as a threat to world peace. Then let's add his interest in Canada, Panama and Greenland. In Norway, the committee members have been openly critical or skeptical of Trump’s policies and rhetoric. And also, Trump has put sanctions on judges of the ICC on multiple occasions. And the list is of course much longer. To compare him with Obama is a bit much. The only thing the world is hoping for now is that we get through the next 3 years. Lastly, the nominations closed on January 31st. With that in mind, his changes are near 0%.

But boys and girls, there is hope in the form of VR. ChatGPT: So in 10 years might not be Starship Enterprice holodeck realistic, but in 20 to 30 years that might well be reality. So hang on to those memories, you might need them in the future.

A little update: I didn't like the contact I had with the insurance directly and went with a broker. Their last message was: I just weight in at 153kg so must lose 8 kilos in the next 7 weeks. 75% premium loading is acceptable and another reason to get down even more. So for those who are in the same boat, now you know what BMI to aim for if you are over.

the Phra Phuttha Yodfa Bridge, but it will be busy.

If you like this: I pushed my arrival to Thailand with a week because I don't want to miss the firework show in Pattaya. it's on November 28 – November 29. https://www.tourismthailand.org/Events-and-Festivals/pattaya-international-fireworks-festival-2025 The most important tip to enjoy the show as intended is to find a sections where you can here the music. The show is choreographed around music, i didn't know this at first and the first show I had no sound. The second show I was in section with sound and the experience was so much better. This will probably mean that establishments like hotels etc might give you a good view, but not the best experience. Not to hijack the thread!

This was last year.

I agree! But I also acknowledge that my $50 flight back from Ho Chi Minh City will now be 20% more expensive. One of the great things about living in Thailand that it is a great hub from which to make short trips to neighbouring countries. Not even that long ago there were crazy deals to fly with Airasia and such. Now, if you see a $5 or $10 promotion, you best believe there is an extra $50 of surcharges on top, each way. So from that perspective it is a pity.

Funny things is that he said they changed rooms (upgrade) because the room was too small. The room they changed too was already small, i cannot image how small normal rooms are.
