Yup, they announced the opening at around 3 PM Thai time yesterday, perhaps couldn't open for some reason (staff didn't show up?) and haven't updated their announcement. I believe Department of Agriculture has a contact there and he may have more up-to-date information.

I don't think the problem lies with the medium but the management for not keeping it up-to-date. Perhaps they had intended to do a soft opening, encountered some problems and decided to remain closed until they have them sorted. 🤷

Even if there were I reckon their goods wouldn't be fresh at that hour, kind of like the barkers! 🤣😅 In my experience, it's best to buy baked goods in the morning when they're fresh out of the oven. Have you tried the freshly made baguettes in Vientiane? They're delish!

😅 They could be or as @hank75 says barkers or bouncers for the bar hence they're wearing the typical black top and have that tough guy look. They may have even been on loan from somewhere else while the bar seeks permanent staff. Personally, I wouldn't trash a new venue (or an old venue for that matter). As I said, Bangkok is unique in that there is a type for everybody and I've seen women and gay men drawn to the type of guys featured in the video. One old queen's used diaper could well be another gay man's pashmina. I'm sorry to hear this @Kiwi306. They're social media stories say they're open.

Google "Sizzler Bangkok". There are more than two dozen outlets.

Yup, meeting with Olddaddy would definitely be an act of defiance, if not deviance.😏

It doesn't matter what the voters want; it's how they can be manipulated into thinking that's what they want which counts and how the blue party has won this round, as did the red shirts previously. The blue party had brilliantly stoked the fears of the rural folk re Cambodia and fanned the flames of - in my opinion - Thais' often misplaced and misguided ultra nationalist sentiments and their unnatural, obsessive love for their military which has been cultivated from the time they are born. The orange party's big mistake was to support Anutin for prime minister last year which allowed him to strengthen and consolidate his position. He is, of course, supported by entities I'm not at liberty to discuss (isn't that always the case eventually if not at the outset?) and there are rumours that he has, allegedly, slithered all the way up to the bed chamber. While I'm happy that Bangkok is a sea of orange, this is going to divide the rural and city folk further and make the situation ripe for further political exploitation down the line. Anyway, even if the orange party had won the elections, the constitutional court, which was created by the military for the very purpose of delegitimising duly elected governments, would have found something against them eventually and declared them illegal and paved the way for the conservatives to come into power. Lather, rinse and repeat. Thailand is fcuked.

Finally this much anticipated bar is open. Is this Bangkok's first bar for admirers of middle-aged, ex-bodybuilders? These guys look like they haven't seen the inside of a gym in a long while but I just love Bangkok's attempts at diversity and that there's something for everyone. 🫶 whitecatbar.mp4

Was she upset because the driver didn't keep his promise to fuck her? Sounds like she could have used a good one. 😏🤷

Apparently 3000 Baht buys you all the touch you want. 😉

Understatement of the year. 😏

He's a good sailor. 😉

And it's the second thing @Olddaddy learned in prison, after not bending over to pick up the soap. 😆

Drum roll please...

Don't tell me he's Uyghur? Then that name would make sense which means he's probably cut too. Uyghur men are very handsome as are Central Asians in general. Western face shape with Asian features and complexion.

Alp Arslan. He's named after a video game character based on a Turkish sultan/warrior from the Seljuk Empire. He's got a nice face and body but one can't really tell anymore from filtered pics and need to see him in person. A good height too at 177 cm but, again, they often get their height wrong (not intentionally I might add but it's the way Thais measure height). He also claims to wear a size 54 condom which is the second biggest. Who knows?🤷

Really? This seems rather small to me. If you're truly happy with the way you spent your money and vacation as you imply, then that should be the peak of your pleasure. There should be no need to see other people's blood pressure rise for extra kicks.

Some of the guys might have gone home to vote.

You didn't get the hint again, @Olddaddy. @jimmie50 has said twice he's only interested in meeting some forum members. I'm quite sure you're safe. 🙄

Yup. The bar-boys are clear and have no qualms about what they're doing while the farang conveniently makes excuses for them. What more could a non-performing bar-boy ask for? It's a win-win situation for him and, as somebody said above, a win some, lose some situation for the farang.

A gentle reminder that the sale of alcohol will be prohibited from 6 PM today to 6 PM tomorrow due to the general elections and bars and entertainment venues will probably be closed during this period.

Yes, tip him but not the full amount although I have a feeling a more assertive Thai customer would have just kicked him out. The Vietnamese guy was clearly toying with @Shax and was setting him up to reel him in by being warm and friendly at the bar and not delivering on what was agreed upon later. Why even go "off" with a man if you need to watch straight porn to turn yourself on which is not only off-putting but rude? Couldn't he have just used his imagination? He's probably done it dozens of times before and was confident he'd get away with it and he did. They're working illegally in Thailand on a visa exemption, they don't speak Thai or English and they don't even want to do the work they promised. The gall. Locum doctors and dentists get about 3,000 Baht for an evening's work at a suburban clinic and they actually have to DO the work for three hours.

And you obviously didn't get the hint. He was brushing you off! 🤣

Was working? You haven't retired, have you?

Just like some of its members. 😒🤷
