You could use Google Lens, an app which translates text from pictures or live views via camera in any language and displays the translation as an overlay over the original picture/text. Very handy also when consulting menu cards in restaurants, decrypting street signs etc. Since this ist translated in the cloud be sure that the content is legal. Example of today's Phetboy Line feed

(old) farangs are welcomed?

Thanks S54 Seems to be +/- standard... 🤷‍♂

I still don't get it: What does the number S54 mean?

Thanks for the post! That would be a nice trip. Do you have a link where you can have a look which tickets are available etc?

Nope, that's master Yoda style 😉

I do the same, works well, and it's not even a lie in my case 😉

That's why I do not consider Brasil... I prefer things that fit 😉

Specially at full moon. Then they have their lantern festival with thousands of lanterns on and along the river. A bit touristic and crowded but worth to see that. I loved it

But don't worry. Even as a 30-year-old, I preferred to go to bed at 11 o'clock. Call me a party pooper 🙂

Unfortunately I have to agree with you. For me, such large tattoos are primarily an act of self-mutilation (the step to chopping off limbs is not far away IMHO). Sorry... I was never a friend of tattoos

I was always happy with Zing at Jomtien complex. If you take one of the apartments on the pool side it's also very quiet but still close to all the fun. Friendly staff and good breakfast. No problem having guests. 80% gay.

In Jomtien I regularly go to T.B.M.I. (Thai Blind Massage Institute ). A masseur will be assigned to you (but at least you can choose between male and female). Price is reasonable and the quality has always been good. Have also heard good things about Burirom health massage too. Maybe not the personal masseur you are looking for though.

I definitively have to visit them next February 😍

Maybe not a boy anymore but definitively a handsome man

I like Thai food, but sometimes I get homesick and Dolce Vita is a good cure. If you are also into Italian food I highly recommend "Marcos", 5-10 minutes walk from the Jomtien complex https://www.marcospattaya.com/

Thanks for the great report about Phuket @vinapu ! So, whats your take about Phuket? Is it worth a visit? I was on Phuket 3x and the last time (10 years ago) the gay scene was small and a bit depressing. I could imagine to visit it again (maybe as a stopover on the route to Kao Lak). I also don't like the animal zoo's. I also don't like human zoo's as in the north of TH close to the border to Birma/Myanmar (Meo tribes). Humiliating and embarrassing... but that's just my humble opinion. Did it once and never again.

Can you share the name of the restaurant? Chicken/cashews is one of my favorite Thai dishes

Some of them are quite pushy and aggressive (Foxy Smile for example). Soda on the other hand are friendly. Sitting in O Delices you can watch them coming and going 😉

Lately I was very surprised when I had a meeting with my students. Normally they bring their computers/tablets/handy in those meetings and are doing something online during the meetings. This time I was the only one with a computer, all of them were writing their notes on paper and were quite were present and focused. So, there is hope...

quite possible that I am wrong because there are no windows and I mixed it up. Cellars are rare in BKK because the groundwater is close to the surfaced

Well mixed. from 18 (estimate) to 50. The average I would say is around 30-35. When I arrived, the average probably went up another 5 years 😉

Ok, I am already back from 39 Underground (no need to stay any longer 😉 ) It's just a 2 minutes walk from the Saphan Khwai BTS Station at the dead end of a small soi. Entrance fee was 250 (weekend price). At 2 pm it was already crowded. About 100 Asians and 2 Farangs 😉 The sauna spreads about 4 floors, 3 of them underground, hence the name. There is also a little bar and a roof "garden". In the very dark underground there was action on every square inch. As expected, most of the guys were more into Asians, but I had my fun too... plenty of it. It's not the cleanest place on earth, but I found it acceptable. All action was raw, never saw a condom in usage. I hope they use at least PREP since it's much cheaper here in TH. Today was naked theme, that`s why you only got a small towel and you were not allowed to carry the towel in the action areas. So for me, the visit was worthwhile, even though I was more or less the only Western guy there.

I will try 39 today. I hope it's not too crowded today because of Chinese new year. An old sauna saying goes: the more people, the less action. There used to be a sauna in BKK that was notorious for ripping off and discriminating older farangs. Which one was that? Have I already said how much I miss the old Babylon?
