a-447

But what can you reasonably expect from a guy whose favourite game is Trivial Pursuit? 🤣🤣🤣 And trying to claim the moral high ground on a board which, as you pointed out, discusses sex and brothels is hilarious! I'm sorry to read about your experience at the host bar. Damn! I'd already made a note of it. But appreciate the fact that you are doing all the legwork for us!

I had a regular guy in Pattaya with whom I spent many holidays. He'd come to my hotel at lunchtime and we'd spent the rest of the day and evening together. His English was excellent - self-taught- and that allowed us to chat about a variety of subjects. His knowledge of world events and history was incredible. What surprised me was the difficulty he had reading Thai. He would run his finger across the words and read each letter of the alphabet. He told me that due to family circumstances he left school at a very young age and went to work to support his mother and brother and so missed out on an education. I think there are a lot of guys, especially from Isaan, who have a similar tale to tell.

It's amazing, but hardly surprising, how you've managed to conflate my original 3 sentences about Mai into some kind of saga of one-upmanship. 'it looks like you've been had, in more ways than one.' What other ways did you have in mind? You didn't say. As for his sexual orientation, which is irrelevant (and which you mentioned, not me), I think the bar owner would know. Maybe you should ask Mai about the discrimination he felt from the straight Shan guys working in AA. As for the issue of privacy, I imagine it would be difficult for any guy who works in a gay bar, appears in photos advertising the bar, goes off with numerous customers for sex and now runs a gay bar to maintain any semblance of privacy. Mai has never hidden any of that, afaik. And your details about his marital status is also a breach of privacy, no? Time to move on.

You may well be right. One of us has been given a 'bum steer'. I ran into Mai at the Orion not long after he was told by AA that he was now too old to work there. He told me that the woman he introduced me to as the co-owner of the bar was his sister. The owner of AA told me that he had 2 gay guys working there - both were bottoms. One of them was Mai. I spent every night with him during my holiday, and to me, he was definitely gay. 110%. So it is difficult to believe that he's married, although certainly not impossible. Some succumb to the inevitable social pressure, I guess. Anyway, two different stories. That's not impossible, either!

I'm not into apps, either. I much prefer sitting with a guy and having a bit of a chat, seeing how friendly he is and making sure his appendage is'original'. The only time I've found a guy on an app was when I was in Prague. I used gayromeo. I found the experience harrowing as I waited for him outside my hotel. What if he didn't look like his photo? What if I didn't like him? What if he was a dud in bed? What if it turned out to be a 'you cum, I go' experience? What if he's on drugs? He came around the corner, saw me, smiled and waved. Omg! He was gorgeous! Back in the room we sat on the bed, had a drink and chatted. My heart was beating furiously. He told me he was a nurse, which was very reassuring, as I felt I was about to have a heart attack.🤣 He put me completely at ease. I let him take the lead. I was still a little apprehensive as I'm used to having sex with Asian guys, not westerners. Needless to say, it was an incredible experience! Being the consummate professional, his technique was awesome. I could have played with that enormous cock forever. In the unlikely event that I can't find a suitable guy on my next trip to Thailand, I will bite the bullet and give Grindr a go.

Seems counterproductive. Hopping into bed with a guy who is drunk - or on drugs- does not guarantee a happy ending! I'd rather give the bar the drink money in cash and take the guy home sober.

I read this report and immediately fell into a deep depression. At first, I was hoping you were right when you put your experience down to it being low season. But then I read Hank's follow-up and suddenly lost the will to live! It appears AA has gone the way of the other gay bars in CM - is on its way out. It's been a few years since my last visit, but every visit there used to be one of the highlights of my trips to a Thailand. The bar was always full - usually just local customers who would open a bottle of whisky, call over a couple of guys and party all night. The Shan guys were hot - handsome, swimmers' bodies and, as they were from Myanmar, hung like donkies. I've always thought there is something in the water in Myanmar, Laos and Isaan! There were 3 bowls containing condoms of different sizes on the bar counter - 52, 54 and 56. Most of the guys went for size 56! The show was exciting. One of my regulars - Korn - did the Spiderman act with his massive member on full display as he moved from pole to pole around the bar. Another favourite -Mai, who now runs the Orion Bar - did the hula hoop act with his huge erect appendage pointing to the ceiling. The show was basically wall to wall cock, occasionally interrupted by annoying drag acts. So, it appears that's all changed. Maybe you are right- massages are now the way to go in CM.

I've made multiple trips from Bangkok to Chiang Mai over the years. I love the historical atmosphere and feel of the city, along with the night bazaar and the area by the river. CM's signature dish is Khao Soi - creamy coconut curry with chicken and deep-fried egg noodles. As for night fun, there wasn't a lot to choose from, but my favourite bar was Adams Apple in Chang Phuak - the so-called gay area of CM. I used to stay in the now- closed Lotus Hotel, right across the road. I'd wander over to the bar at 9pm and watch the show and chat with the guys. There is a smoking room downstairs where I'd light up, share cigarettes with the guys and hang out during the evening. It was a chance to get up closer and personal with them. They were all hot Tai Yai (Shan) boys and I loved their friendliness and total lack of attitude. At the end of the evening I'd choose my guy and walk over to the hotel. The guys never disappointed! Not a single dud over all those visits. One of my regular offs from Adams - Mai - runs the Orion Bar in the night bazaar with his sister. He is the sweetest guy you could ever meet! A lot of local guys play pool there and are available for fun. There's another bar nearby called the Circle Pub, but I never found anyone I wanted to spend time with. There were lots of massage places but most have closed down. But I think my favourite-Classic House- is still going strong. The guys were lovely and never disappointed, but beware! Some guys have mooks or silicone, so it's important to ask if their cock is 'original'. I'm looking forward to your CM reports!

You said that sex was available to others but 'not to him'. That is a slur - a not so subtle suggestion that there must be something wrong with me. "In fact I wasn't thinking of sex workers at all but hooking up in general". Yeah, right! Especially on a forum discussing sex with Asian guys! "it's not your place to tell me what I can or can't post and to decide what is good or isn't good for this forum." You are free to post whatever you want - that is the nature of fora like this. And you are free to be nasty toward fellow posters if you wish. That's your choice. Only the moderator can tell you what content you may and may not post. As he said, 'Discuss the topic, not the policy or personality. Have fun and enjoy!' The fact is, this board has a well-earned reputation over many years of posters not personally attacking others. I'm merely suggesting we keep it that way. I'm done. Let's move on.

Cheap, compared to what we pay in Australia. Being 'em on!

No, not 'saving face'. Just telling people what I have experienced in my multiple visits to Kuala Lumpur. How could I 'seriously' speak 'for the thousands of gay men', none of whom I've ever met? MauRICE, it seems that somewhere along the way I must have rubbed you up the wrong away - and definitely no pun intended! A week is so ago, in the thread 'Adventures of a Bangkok Rookie August 2026, you made a very nasty post accusing me of 'bragging' about taking advantage of a drugged up guy in Super A. That post was total fiction. You were not there at the time and you did not back up your assertions with any evidence. 'I read what a-447 wrote as it wasn't available to him.' And now with that comment you are suggesting that although sex is available to others, it somehow isn't available to me in KL, simply because of who I am! Yet you've never met me! What is it specifically about me that moneyboys won't accept my money? As I posted on September 8 in my response to your comment regarding Super A, you should be careful not to cast aspersions on posters based on false conclusions. It's much better for the board if you confine your criticism to the content of a post, rather than play the man by inventing silly, derogatory stories about fellow members you've never met.

For me, KL was like Singapore - just a place to transit on the way to somewhere interesting. I'd only been there once, over 10 years ago. But once I made the decision to give it a second chance a few years ago, I discovered how truly interesting it is. I've been back 7 times in the last 2 years. If you're looking to hook up with a guy, forget it! The only chance for sex was the Otot-otot sauna, which is now closed after a raid earlier this year. Other than that there is certainly no street trade; not unless you're into ladyboys. They congregate outside the Grand Millennium Hotel in Bukit Bintang. If you want a holiday with polite people- many of whom speak beautiful English, great places to visit and incredible food , Malaysia is for you! I'll probably be going back next month, on my way to Bangkok.

I've never carried my passport when in Thailand, and I can't recall ever carrying a photocopy, either. I remember an occasion when a police car stopped in front of Eros in Pattaya. An envelope containing money (I presume) was handed to the cop through the car window and he drove off. My long term Pattaya 'friend' told me that the bars often get prior warning that a raid is about to take place. This gives bar owners time to get the illegal immigrants out of the bar. The raid is basically an envelope handing-over ceremony!

Over the years I've met around 8 Forum members. Apart from one - Neal - who was the most evil person I've ever met, the others have been really nice and friendly. At the end of the day, we are just normal guys who happen to love Asian guys, so we have at least one interest in common. That's not to say we always saw eye to eye on the forum. But we don't with our friends 100% of the time, either. Funnily enough, one of the nicest guys was actually a little unpleasant on the forum.

I spent a lot of time in sento (public baths) with my friends, even though we all had baths/showers at home. The Japanese love getting naked together and the sento is seen as a social occasion. Everyone is equal once they take their clothes off. (Well, socially, at least!) As the only foreigner, I was the centre of attention. My friends had warned me about this, but it was still a bit of a shock. I'd sit on the stool in front of the mirror and taps, and before too long I'd find myself surrounded by fellow bathers. It all happened very quietly. They weren't interested in me; they wanted to see foreigner's cock. Did I live up to the reputation of us being hung like donkeys? I'm sure they were disappointed! 🤣🤣🤣 Guys who were well hung would walk around proudly displaying the goods, not bothering to hide their modesty with the little face towel you are supplied with. If you've got it, flaunt it. The odd hard-on could be seen but nobody cares about that in Japan as nobody would ever associate a sento with a cruising joint, as lots of guys bring their kids, meaning there is absolutely no funny business going on. That was a relief because I was often fighting to keep my cock under control. When I couldn't, I'd go and sit back on the stool and wait until things calmed down. My friends, who knew I was gay, thought it was really funny. So onsen / sento are for eye candy only.

There are a few videos of Babe showing him in all his glory doing the rounds on X. He is quite well hung.

What comment in my post suggested I was 'bragging'? And how do you know he was a 'young man'? I can assure you he wasn't. (not that that means anything) I had him sit with me because he was naked. My comment 'I didn't mind at all' referred to the fact that he was butt naked, not that he was on drugs. But I soon realised he was on drugs, so I sent him away. What advantage would there be in sitting and drinking with a guy you can't possibly communicate with and who is so drugged up that he just sits there with his eyes closed? That makes no sense at all. I have no time for drugs. I have posted in the past about a regular guy I had in Pattaya over numerous trips. But on a return visit I saw him drugged up in his bar, and that was the end of our'relatiinship.' You should be careful not to cast aspersions on posters based on false conclusions.

It was tongue in cheek, aaron! I didn't really mean you should turn up in a full body suit and a pair of goggles! I didn't see the need to add a 🤣 And it's not the fear of catching HIV (!) that stops me going to a fight - I don't like blood sports.

Kudos to all the non-native speakers who post here in English! What can I say? Chapeau!

A raincoat and goggles would also be recommended! Or maybe a full surgical body suit! As we know, HIV is transmitted by blood. I'm not criticising you mate, but I can't understand the attraction of watching 2 guys beat each other up in a ring.

Mmm... That could explain my suspicion regarding guys in the big cock show who are significantly smaller back in the room!

Being seen as 'exotic' offers one enormous advantages when you are in a foreign country. And maybe people weren't 'eyeing you up' because of your height - they may have seen you earlier when you took a piss! 🤣🤣🤣 Your being surrounded by so many choices when it comes to 'companions' is something many of us here have experienced. How do you choose? They are all stunning! One cock is not enough to deal with them all! This is why I settled on just one guy - a guy who I thought was the best of the best. It made life a lot easier. And with my guy in Bangkok, it's sex once a day in the afternoon and then I'm free to go bar hopping at night. Another way to deal with multiple guys is to become a bottom. Being versatile means you can still enjoy all the other guys.

The numbers worn by the guys should, and could, be used to indicate cock size. The higher the number, the bigger the cock. As an unabashed size queen, I'd really appreciate that! Then again, maybe the guys wearing the lower numbers wouldn't.

I've sent you a PM.

Imabari is the home of the legendary Imabari towel. I have a number of their large bath towels. They are better than any towel I've ever owned.
