Actually, you should have been committed...a long time ago.

Geez, give her a break; perhaps she thought it was a colleague you didn't like. 🤷

All that and Aunty Vin still gave him a D. Some people are simply impossible to please. 🙄

Any reference to fiddling only applies to Sunee Plaza.😏

When was this @vinapu?

A good idea but they should get a choreographer to train the guys. The one on the left looks very awkward and uncomfortable and keeps looking at his watch as if he was waiting for the bus. The one on the right seems to think that swinging his body and arms randomly is dancing. It's not their fault though; dancing on a table top can be tricky and they need a bit of training and practice.

Patrons thought to be gay? How very dare they! Why that's like 90% of our forum members who can be spotted sashaying from a mile off! Thank god I'm in the remaining 10%. 😉😎

Oops, you did it again.

The camaraderie and conviviality among members of this forum is amazing and I'm glad I decided to re-join last year. I remember it used to be quite acrimonious and not very pleasant in the old forums; one was overrun by sock puppets and a close-knit mafia cabal intent on gratuitously yanking the chain of others "just for fun", and another was run by a megalomaniacal control freak who not only took pleasure in deleting posts but pride in banning his precious few members. For a while, my dear friend Hedda and I took refuge in the very clever Baht-Stop which lasted much longer than we had expected although it was very much a niche forum focussed on socio-political events in Thailand and the rest of the world. I still very much miss it.

We went to Krabi last year. It was a family trip and we drove there. It's only a six-hour drive from my home town but we broke the journey in Songkhla and spent a night there. Phuket is to visit friends in Phuket town although we'd probably drive down to Patong one evening to see what's been happening.

I have; the first time 25 years ago and the second in 2023, after Covid. Still beautiful in many areas but I didn't care for the traffic and the crowds. I'm partial to other places in Indonesia for eg Lombok and the beautiful Gili Islands nearby, the cool hills of Bandung in West Java and the gentleness of Solo in Central Java. Broadly speaking, the short and chain-smoking Javanese guys don't appeal to me but Indonesia has got some very handsome men of mixed parentage, mainly descendants of Arab, Chinese and Dutch settlers.

I read somewhere there was a Rome Club in that soi many years ago but it had burned down or something.

Looking anticipatingly at your magic calendar now? 😉

Is that why you had to quote him twice - for emphasis?

Pattaya is where the queens go to meet their ladyboys-in-waiting. For hunks and muscular guys, @vinapu has presented you with a few options and I believe @emiel1981 has had some success meeting muscular guys online. Note that Boyz Boyz Boyz is a host bar where customers go to get drunk with the hosts. Any sexual activity off the premises is entirely subject to negotiations with the host. They can and do say no. Mama-sans and the venue don't usually get involved.

The Enquirer more likely.

AA? 🤔

Thanks for the heads up @vinapu. My plans aren't firm yet and I was just toying with the idea of going to Phuket. Is traffic going into Pattaya always bad? I don't recall it being that bad. My hotel is very close to the Royal Garden Plaza.

Most likely in the first week of April, via Bangkok. Sadly, Air Asia will stop flying KUL to UTP direct at the end of this month. I guess there hasn't been much demand. Alternatively I might do KUL-HKT and then HKT-UTP on Bangkok Airways. I haven't been to Phuket and Pattaya in ages. Hopefully we'll get to meet some other time. 🤞 Oh my! I just saw an elderly farang in a sexy white dress at the Buenos anniversary party in Jomtien Complex in my social media feed. That Olddaddy sure gets around!

Size queens?

Why?

Where? 🤔

Any feedback on Red Room Bar? I hear it's also popular with residents and visitors.

He did but they would inevitably quarrel with one another and get booted out by the venue owner. Happened many times.

Presumably the volume was even worse for customers in the bar watching the show? Yikes! This was one of the shows I had on my to-watch list when I visit next month.
