You mean like a BA in sodomy and a masters in the Kamasutra?

Perhaps @jimmie50 got them mixed up with the straight up butch and macho dancers at Sunee Bar? I hear they're gonna do a special dance number in memory of Chuck Norris this weekend. Expect a lot of pistol grabbing. 😏

I wasn't offended; I was just worried Aunty Vin might be having a seizure. 😅

It's precisely because life is too short and precious that we can't be cavalier about the issues. And we should ask ourselves why and how resistance fighters like Hamas and Hezbollah came about and why they have acted as they have? Did they even exist prior to 1948? The Christians, Jews and Muslims lived in relative peace before then. And you may want to check again who's actually been funding Hamas previously in order to undermine the Palestinian Authority and prevent the creation of a viable Palestinian state. Prior to this illegal war against them, for which the US are still mumbling off the reasons and have no exit plan, Iran hadn't attacked anyone. Can anyone say the same about the US, Israel and the UK? Civilian deaths? Oh perleez. 🙄 Anyone with any connection to centuries of western settler-colonial aggression - a tradition the genocidal Israeli regime is keeping well and alive in Palestine - should think twice before bringing up the issue of civilian deaths allegedly perpetrated by others.

Hi Louis! Welcome to the forum. I can understand your anxiety and don't find your "goal too ambitious". The fact that you're putting yourself out there may encourage others to do the same. I haven't used any but I've heard from friends that there are professional escort agencies out there with their own websites. The quality of services, as is in the nature of this business, varies, and prices tend to be higher than hiring a sex worker off the hook-up sites such as Grind'r. There is no scoring system or official reviews as far as I know as this is not how people primarily hire sex workers in Thailand's highly established commercial sex industry. As for safety, take the same precautions as you would any random meeting from the web: video call to verify their identity and meet in a public place to suss them out. Don't worry; nobody's going to notice. This sorta thing is very common in any big city in Thailand. I can totally understand it if you do not want to partake in the overt commercial sex scenes in Patpong and Pattaya; they're not for everybody. While there are plenty of crusty prostitutes, not everybody is a seasoned punter or wishes to be one! 😅 We all come from different backgrounds with different sensibilities and levels of comfort when it comes to trying out new things. That said, may I suggest you start off by going people watching in Silom Soi 4 and getting your feet wet a little, so to speak. Go earlier in the evening to, say, The Balcony, before it gets too busy and the waiters won't have time to chat with you. Soak in the atmosphere and if you find it all too overwhelming, leave. No biggy. And when you feel a bit more comfortable, take in a show at one of the busier show bars in Bangkok such as Freshboys where you can get lost in the crowd. Just don't tell anyone you're a newbie and ward off bothersome mama-sans by telling them you're there to watch the show. You may stick to your original plan of hiring an escort from an agency or you could dip your toes a little in the glitzier manifestations of the commercial sex industry. There is no right or wrong. Will you feel you've made a mistake or an awkward mis-step at some point? Sure, who hasn't? Just learn from them...or shrug them off...before trying again. Good luck and have fun!

I know. I started it. 🙄

What is "BEEP BEEP BEEP"? Secondly, are you a forum moderator? I wasn't the one who started posting on the illegal war against Iran in this thread and yet you didn't tell them to start a new thread? If the forum moderators - whoever they are - would like to move all posts that which do not strictly relate to the original post in this thread to another thread, I would have no objections.

Perhaps they don't want you as a guest because you're too famous and your groupies follow you wherever you go - and the hotel likes to keep a low profile and remain simple. 😸

Worried about having garlic breath? I guess you've never been kissed by a Thai guy. 😏 You mean at night he wears his little black dress and six-inch stilettos?

What have you been smoking gurl? Iran hasn't sought to occupy territory belonging to its neighbours; Israel has. Iran has never initiated attacks against its neighbours; Israel has intiated and sustained attacks on all of its neighbours, including Lebanon, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Yemen and Iran. Iran hasn't got nuclear weapons, Israel has. Iran has openly allowed UN agencies and the IAEA to inspect its nuclear facilities; Israel won't even admit to having nuclear weapons. Who's the "misbehaving neighbour" on the "street" now? Cruel regime? Hello, isn't dropping a US Tomahawk missile on a school and killing 185 schoolgirls cruel? And what about shooting down an Iran Air Airbus A300 in 1988 by a US warship and killing all 290 commercial passengers on board? What do you call that? A unique brand of American mercy? You think their families and descendants are simply going to forgive and forget? Are we to believe they were both accidents on the part of supposedly the world's greatest military? My grandparents lived under both the British and Japanese Occupations and like to brag that they know the lyrics to both God Save the King and the Kimigayo and, while there were traits they admired in both cultures, have never failed to remind us of the horrors both occupiers had inflicted on the local populations. And my grandfather would add that the Japanese, as cruel as they were, were fair and always paid for what they took whereas the Brits would just steal and "appropriate" and then make the locals pay to gain access to what was theirs to begin with. 🙄 Moreover if cruelty is a motive for attacking and intervening in a country, why not attack Saudi Arabia, which has a far worse human rights record than Iran. Or why didn't the US attack Iran during the Pahlavi regime which was extremely brutal to its own people? Ohh wait, the US and the UK put that regime in power in return for 40% access to Iranian oil. 40%! Did you know that female literacy went up three times under the Ayatollahs after the fall of the Pahlavis and now Iranian women are amongst the most literate in the world? And what did the US and the Israelis do? Kill Iranian schoolgirls. Ohh the irony! The western mainstream media has never reported fairly on the plight of the Palestinians. When they report on the genocide, the news is always skewered towards the Israelis being the victims. Boo-hoo. Right now the Israelis are mercilessly carpet bombing southern Lebanon, targetting schools and hospitals, their favourites. It's what they do; kill, kill, kill to get what they want and if they don't, they kill some more. Western mainstream media reporting has got worse with that rabid Zionist Barrie Weiss now the head of CBS news and as CNN and other major media outlets become monopolised by a tiny but very powerful band of pro-Israeli conglomerates like the Ellison Company which also owns Oracle, Paramount and Warner Bros and are big donors to Donald Trump. Thank god for Aljazeera and independent media like Zeteo, Breaking Point, The Majority Report and Owen Jones for their impartial reporting and for analysts like Ilan Pappe, Norman Finkelstein, Jeffrey Sachs and John Marsheimer. And that brave, brave UN rapporteur Francesca Albanese. 🫶

🤣 Trump, Dimwitkoff and Trump's nelly, bottom son-in-law who proudly bragged about building luxury condos on the unmarked graves of Gaza's children can hardly be trusted. I think Trump is desperate and his administration is flip-flopping on the way forward with this terrible assault on Iran and seem surprised that Iran is fighting back. Hellooo, they've been preparing for this for decades! The genocidal Israeli regime, which wanted and pushed for this assault on Iran, of course doesn't want it to end until Iran is completely destroyed and in utter chaos so that they can have complete and utter hegemony over the region. Except for battles here and there where it achieved limited objectives, the US hasn't had a single major victory since WW2 and it will be the same here. What's important is that a new generation of freedom and resistance fighters who have seen their mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters killed by the US and Israel, has been born. And what this new generation of Iranians have learned from this murderous aggression by the Americans and the Israelis on their homes and their lives is that might is right which may encourage them to develop nuclear weapons for real in the future. The fight against the genocidal Israeli regime and its US sponsors will thus continue. Amen.

Well, if he's sucking blood (and other fluids), most of his work would be at night and he wouldn't be sleeping.

😅 I agree; it can very difficult to understand them! But Scotland is beautiful and the people are very nice, much nicer than the English in my experience. I watched this video of Supertown recently and, in addition to the terrible and misguided "day and night" split editing, the two narrators are barely audible and their accents difficult to make out. They're Scot, aren't they? I tend to get my Keltics, Celtics and Gaelic mixed up. My very good Irish friend insists there's a difference and I tell him you all look equally pale to me.😅

@Home Bar? I've heard nice things about it. Now you know how we feel reading your posts day after day. I know we don't have to but we just don't have the heart to ignore you, at the expense of our own mental well-being. 😪

Says the pot to the kettle. 🙄

Actually, no. Money is the currency of a lawyer's business. Lots of it. Those suites at the Le Meridien don't come cheap you know. 🤣😂😅

Selling gay children's clothes? I don't think so...🙄

Samae San island in Sattahip district. I remember you mentioning it sometime ago and was wondering whether you had been. It's gorgeous with white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters but we went just after Covid when much of Mother Nature had had a chance to recover. Samae San is a cluster of eight mini islands comprising Samae San and seven others. Bring a large hat with you and slap on the sunscreen generously as it's burn-baby-burn scorching hot right now. Hope the fresh air and being away from boy shenanigans will help you recharge and give you a fresh perspective on things. 🫶

I'm sorry to hear that. Might be a good idea to put on the Depends as you wouldn't want any accidents on the long flight home. Take care.

Have a safe flight home, @Olddaddy. Hope you can make the long walk to the aerobridge without too much pain.

No, it isn't. Some of the guys like their independence and don't like being beholden to anybody. Moreover, a popular guy could be making 100,000 Baht a month (there are hosts from the big host bars bringing in 300,000 ++ Baht per month; one I know just bought a Mercedes convertible) and there aren't that many sponsors willing to part with that amount as compensation for taking him permanently out of the bar.

This is trite. Clearly I was thinking out loud and expressing my views on the matter and have no control over the actions or folly of others. All acceptable reasons in my opinion and nothing new. But "sorry, I can't go with you tonight because my sugar daddy forbade me to" takes it to another level of absurdity. 🙄

I believe in it's on the ground floor of the multi-storey carpark in Jomtien Complex, you know the one that's been declared unsafe and abandoned.

I'm not sure of the point you're making by this. Surely the current twenty and thirtysomethings working in the sex trade aren't the same ones you referred to above; they are tech savvy and know the score. Three weeks on the scene and they are seasoned players.

True. I've heard many straight guys complain that Guido's pussy smells like German sausage. 😏
